Chapter 35: Chapter 35

⁂Legaxy

Theo kissed me!

He freaking kissed me even if I said NO to him, and that right there ladies and gentlemen is a violation for me.

Bastard!

I may have said yes to his courtship but never did I imagine that he will do this to me. I mean, I let no man in this world overstep my boundaries but he, among the men that I thought would understand that, did the thing I hated the most.

I almost wanted to punch him in the face…

Unexpectedly, the Alpha King's face popped inside my head. As a switch to a light bulb, those hazel eyes haunted me like a ghost.

I should have feared that kind of episode but it did the opposite to me; I wanted it.

Needed it, desired for it… YEARNED FOR IT.

That's when it hit me, it's him.

It's the Alpha King that I needed to seek help with because he knows me; I'm his mate.

With a powerful jerk, I pushed a daze Theo away from me and dashed out of the ballroom, in search of my sexy mate.

⁂ Michael Angelo

I know I may sound like an asshole but I love stalking my mate to no end…

She sometimes sees me, she sometimes doesn't and it's fun when the mate bond fiddles with the game of hiding and seek, resulting in her searching for that tingling feeling only to find it was coming from me.

I smiled when I remember one time when she did this head turns — a motion when you are frantically searching for something — as she was walking down this corridor and only stopped when she spotted me gazing at her.

She must have realized that it was me that she was feeling that her cheeks went bright red.

I now laughed at the memory when she started running away from me and damn, that woman could sprint while wearing four-inch heels.

“You're acting like a fool.” my little sister declared and realizing that it was because of Nala, she shot me a sweet smile, “Can we see her now? Pleeeeeeeeaaaasssseeeee…”

I shook my head at her out of amusement.

Blessy, as shocking as it was, took Nala's case well…

Too well that she even had behaved herself around my mate. Though, I was a bit concerned when I discovered that the kid kept on visiting my mate at her workspace.

Thankfully, my Nala didn't mind and surprisingly, my mate loves the kid to death to even let her be around her.

Their bond, even if forgotten, was still there — just like our bond.

I smiled down at my sister.

“We are heading towards her, Blessy. Don't worry.”

Blessy squeals and just like that, she ran towards the pathway leading to the ballroom where I learned the party was.

It was Mallow Hotel's 4th anniversary after its grand opening…

At first, it didn't take my interest.

I have my fair share of parties due to having mating balls so it's safe to say that I always hated festivities.

But when I heard that the Vampire King will be there and be present…

Well, let's just say I made my men dress casual and decided to go and crashed that social gathering.

Luckily, the hotel allows guests to attend as well to celebrate with them…

“This would be fun,” Rocky snaps his fingers and neck, a mischievous smile found its way to his face.

“Fun because you'll flirt with that girl from the reception desk or going to smooch that girl from the food and beverage department again?” Jay teased.

Rocky smirked, replying, “Both.”

Then the two, Jay and Rocky, laughed while Lucky only rolled his eyes.

“Dickheads.” Lucky finally remarks when the two started talking about sex and condoms.

“We're here!” I heard Blessy yells.

Thank God the room was booming with music or else, we will get undivided attention from the humans and supernatural entities.

I have an idea those creatures of the dark heard her but didn't glance at us for they were busy listening to their General Manager as she delivers her speech.

Then, I saw her.

Standing, or more like leaning at one of the ballroom's walls while wearing a simple flowy white dress and a pretty hair crown, making her look like a Greek goddess who came from the heavens.

I felt my heart swelled with love and adoration while just looking at her.

However, behind that fine dress and beautiful face was a tired mood; She sways when she walks and she yawns every minute. Then, when she was near enough for me to study further, she has circles under her eyes.

She must have not been sleeping well…

I suddenly felt the urge to hug and soothe her, though, the boys reminded me that I can't. So for the last few hours, I just watched my mate from the corner as she moves around and talks to people.

Even if she looks that exhausted, she kept on moving until I realized she had not eaten yet.

Her boss must have realized that too since I watched my mate took a plate from a table and went to pick food on the banquet.

Thus, my world stilled when I saw the Vampire King approaching her.

I instantly stood and was about to charge when I felt Jay and Lucky's hands on me.

“Alpha, don't.” Lucky whispers and I growled.

“He's there… He's touching my mate.” I stated and when they started to leave to sit on one of the tables near the exit, Bear began pushing through my barriers.

He wanted out.

Heinz, who had noticed my uneasiness, ordered me to calm down. Like Rain, he also notified me about the Vampire King's intention towards my mate after a talk they had, after the leech was caught taking Nala home.

That leech was ambitious for even thinking of taking my mate away from me…

All of a sudden, after settling down, the dreadful scene occurred making me saw red.

The fucking Vampire King didn't just court my mate, let alone took her time away from me but also kissed her.

He fucking kissed my Nala!

I growled loudly enough for the werewolves in the room to hear while the mixed-race, upon heeding this, reacted defensively.

Thankfully, my Nala pushed the leech the second their lips touched or so help me God when that kissed took longer than I wanted.

I might have killed somebody tonight — seeking to strangle that fucking leech!

Hence, I discovered my body was close to shifting, and knowing there's a forest at the back of this resort, I headed out.

My men and sister hot on my heels…

That's when I realized that they were also close to shifting, especially my sister who was pretty pissed off.

Something tells me they have seen what I just saw…

Good.

We need all air we could get now and as the wilderness came into view, we all shifted then and there.

⁂Legaxy

I wonder where everyone is.

Last night, after that little incident with Theo, I have been searching for the Alpha King.

All night, if I may add…

Since I have not seen him and it was already late, I decided to do it the next day which so happens to be today.

Though, within ten minutes of searching for one soul that is connected to the Alpha King or himself, I found none.

Might as well give up.

Currently, I entered an employee elevator only to be exiting it again as I heard yelling from one of the hallways.

Someone sounded lost…

I walked around to search for the cry of help and found Blessy, the Alpha King's sister sobbing while crying for help.

Surprisingly, I took a liking to this kid.

It was weird at first since I just met her but after being with her for a month, I kind of formed a bond with her.

She always came to my office and talked to me about her day and how her brother disciplines her. She's a well-behaved child, to tell you frankly, for she never bothers me when I was working, and never complains whenever I don't speak to her for a long time.

She's sweet and lovely as well… bless her.

“Blessy, sweetheart? Why are you here?” I started gently as I saw how hopeless the little girl was.

When she heard my voice, her head quickly snaps in my direction, and with a cry, she runs toward me.

I quickly opened my arms to her and she jumps right into it. There, she sobs some more.

“Lost.” she managed to say in between her crying.

“Hey, it's okay. I'm here.” I cooed her and with that, I get us both inside the elevator.

I pushed the second floor and when we arrived, I heard the concerned voice of the Alpha King booming at the front desk.

“…I tell you, if you don't find my sister right now, I will bite your head off.” I heard him threatens and when he came into view, I saw his three men holding him down while he's pointing a finger at Mr. Heinz.

Great, if this gets out of hand, another protocol will occur…

I rolled my eyes.

Why is this man always so hot-tempered anyway?

Does he know that it's not good to always be mad and angry?

“Alpha King, it's not a great idea to let yourself be controlled by your emotions. It's — ” Sir Heinz tried to soothe but was promptly interrupted by a growl.

“Don't you dare tell me what to do, Heinz Black! This is my sister for — ” he suddenly halts.

He must have smelled his sister because he snapped his attention towards my direction.

“Hi,” I said as he did not say anything after seeing his sister being held by me.

As if my greeting was a spell of awakening, he quickly straightens up, cleared his throat, and walked towards us. He then reached for Blessy only to be shoved back by his sister.

I looked down and saw how afraid his sister was to him.

“Blessica, do not test my patience young lady,” he growls, and, surprisingly on instinct, I turned my body to hide the little girl from him.

“Do not growl at her like that. She's just a kid!” I scolded him and just like that, the big bad Alpha was gone.

He apologizes to his sister and when his gaze shifted to me, his features began to soften.

Maybe this is the mate bond working…

“I'm sorry, Ms. Dyme. I didn't mean to do that…” he says and that's when I realized I needed to talk to him.

“Alpha King — ”

“Mikee is fine, Ms. Dyme.” he cuts me off with a smile.

Oh, how I was transported to another level of happiness when I saw that smile… How I wish to see that more often, instead of always seeing him mad or serious.

“Ms. Dyme?” he asks and I found myself ogling at him.

Damn it, Legaxy!

Focus!

“Oh, I — I apologize, I did — didn't mean to…” I stuttered and I know a bright red blushed was painted on my cheeks.

Mikee chuckled and I swoon again.

Legaxy! Get a hold of yourself!

“Mikee,” I started and something about his name tickled my tongue. There was the desired effect on him also as I noticed his eyes shifting from hazel to black.

Okay, so it's not just me…

“Yes?” he acknowledged me this time, snapping me out of my stupor.

“Can we talk?” I finally asked.

His forehead wrinkled in question.

“About what?”

I licked my lips before saying, “About me.”

“You?” he sounded confused.

I only nodded.

“Yes, me… being your mate.”
