I opened my eyes and gave her a small nod.

Thank you.I said, making her smile.

There is no need to thank me.She said.I am here to help.

I smiled at her and focused my attention back on Mike and Dimitri. Mike looked pissed so I could only assume that Dimitri had already told him everything.

“I want nine of our best men to keep an eye on each Alpha,” Dimitri said. “Discreetly, of course. I want to know everything about them and their movements while they are in my territory.”

“Even Alpha Alistair?” I asked, furrowing my brows a little.

“Just because he came to tell us that there is a traitor among the Alphas, doesn’t mean that I trust him, princess,” Dimitri said. “He could be trying to get close to us so he can do something. I won’t allow that.”

I nodded and Dimitri looked back at Mike.

“Have them followed,” Dimitri said sternly. “No one makes any move without me knowing about it.”

Mike nodded and tightened his jaw.

“We will start following them immediately,” Mike said angrily. “No one will hurt my daughter.”

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE – The Opening Ceremony

Dimitri’s POV

The opening ceremony of The Tournament of Three Kingdoms was being held at the battle arena.

The entrance to the tournament grounds was adorned with colorful banners and flags featuring the emblems and symbols of the Three Kingdoms. The torches illuminated the entire arena, making me forget that it was almost midnight. The stands were packed. It seemed like every member of my pack decided to come and watch the opening ceremony and the introductions of the competitors. It made me happy. It showed other Alphas how strong and united my pack was.

“Are you cold, princess?” I asked Maddie as we walked to our assigned seats.

She looked at me and shook her head. “I am fine, my love.”

I shivered and turned into a melted pile of human flesh each and every time she called me love. I smiled and pressed a soft kiss on her temple.

“Will I have to speak?” she asked.

“No, princess,” I said as I caressed her soft cheek. “I will speak. You will smile and stand by me the entire night.”

I was nervous because all the Alphas and the members of my council would be sitting close to us. I wished we could just sit somewhere else, but it wasn’t possible.

“Don’t let go of me,” I continued. “I want you holding my hand the entire night.”

Maddie leaned in and placed a kiss on my upper arm.

“Don’t worry,” she said softly. “I will be by your side the entire time. No one will hurt me.”

I gulped and took a deep breath. They would have to be fucking crazy to try something while every single member of my pack was there, but I could never be too careful. Maddie was my entire life. I had to make sure she was safe.

I can’t wait to go back home with you.Maddie mind-linked me.You have to take this dress off me and see what I have underneath.

My heart almost stopped. I looked at her and raised an eyebrow. She smiled a little.

I don’t want to spoil it, but it isn’t much.She added as her smile grew.

I tightened my jaw and forced myself to take a deep breath.

You will be so punished for this, Madeline.I said sternly.You made your king hard just as he is about to speak in front of hundreds of people.
