I gritted my teeth and tried to stop myself from standing in front of her and shielding her with my body. I didn’t want his eyes on her.
“Thank you, Landon,” she said politely.
“Can I help you with something, Landon?” I asked, wanting to change the subject. “We should really get going. We are expected at the party.”
“I know, my King,” Landon said. “I just wanted to stop you to ask about a meeting regarding the punishment of our former Luna. The council is worried, my King.”
I couldn’t stop the quiet growl that escaped me.
“We will have the meeting after the meeting is done, Landon,” I said, trying to get a hold of my anger. “I already told you that.”
He nodded. “You did, my King. But the Alphas are talking amongst themselves. They noticed her absence, my King. We are worried about appearances and we have a proposal for you.”
I couldn’t give a shit about appearances.
“I don’t care about that,” I said, tightening my jaw. “I am more than happy to tell the Alphas what happened.”
Landon’s eyes widened.
“No, my King!” he exclaimed, shaking his head. “You have to think about the consequences of that action. I strongly advise you to keep it a secret.”
I forced myself to take a deep breath.
“This is not the time or place to talk about this, Landon,” I said sternly. “We will discuss this at a more appropriate time.”
We were in the middle of the forest and I could hear the rest of our guests approaching us.
Landon sighed and glanced behind his shoulder.
“Yes, my King,” he said, but I could hear the disappointment in his voice. “Can we meet tomorrow morning?”
I really didn’t want to. I didn’t fucking care about their proposal. I couldn’t even answer him.
“Of course, Landon,” Maddie said politely. “Please excuse us. We really have to go.”
She took my hand in hers and we started walking away.
“Good job, Mads,” Will whispered.
“You shouldn’t have agreed,” I mumbled. “I don’t give a fuck about their proposal.”
“I know,” Maddie sighed. “But he wasn’t going to give up, Dimitri.”
I knew that. I took another deep breath and pulled Maddie to me.
“Thank you, princess,” I said, placing a soft kiss on her temple.
“It’s my job to support you,” she said, smiling at me. “I will always be here to do that.”
I leaned in and placed a soft kiss on her lips. She was right. She would always be here to support me. She would always be right by my side. No one could take her away from me.
CHAPTER FORTY-ONE – Suspicious
Dimitri’s POV
“My King,” I heard Alpha Ezekiel’s voice behind me.
I turned around and smiled.
