The Alpha King’s Fated Mate - Season 2 Episode 6

“Mellisa says the poison in the queen is completely gone, it’s only a matter of time until she opens her eyes” Drake informed the king, Titus who nodded in satisfaction but showed no expression.

He, who had been with the king for a long time, knew that only in front of his mate could the king show expression and even laugh and right now that expression was not there because the woman was still lying sick and weak.

Last time it took her more than two days to get rid of the effects of the wolfsbane poison, but that was before her wolf awakened, hopefully it won’t take too long for her this time, Titus thought worriedly of his mate’s condition.

“Alpha Rickard, Mike and the others expressed their gratitude for the help that came and were sorry for the queen’s condition” Drake added and again, I just nodded in response. Titus knew that he should have come to visit the Alphas, but right now it was hard to leave a place where you knew your mate was hurting.

Knock… Knock

Titus and Drake raised their eyebrows in surprise as Mellisa entered the door by knocking first.

The sorceress just rolled her eyes in annoyance before bowing respectfully, she had been ordered to act like a warrior and not a sorceress so appearing suddenly with power was a strict prohibition while in this area “My king, the black witch awakens” She said which made everyone in the room gasp in shock and fear.

It had been a long time since they had faced a black witch and knew what she was capable of.

-But Titus who had experience with witches again just nodded and got up from his seat “Make sure his mouth and eyes are always closed and tie her up tight all over” He ordered sternly before turning to Drake and Alpha Blake who were in the room at the moment “Drake, replace me here and Alpha Blake do you want to come along to interrogate him?”

Alpha Blake nodded “Ryan, you take my place here” he said before walking with the king and the royal warrior beside him towards the dungeon.

“I heard your Luna woke up? Is she better?” Asked Titus stiffly to Alpha Blake as they walked towards the basement, he knew that the man beside him was the father of his mate so had to behave a little differently towards him.

Alpha Blake who had known the king and knew of his king’s harsh and rigid nature, just smiled in understanding of the effort his daughter’s mate was making “Yes, he was surprised that Gwen was also injured and is currently in his room, although her condition is still weak” He replied with a weak sigh while shaking his head.

“Women and their instinct to protect,” I said quietly with a disapproving shake of my head and followed by a chuckle coming from the man beside me.

“Ryan mentioned that she was like that because she was trying to save you?” I knew Alpha Blake had wanted to ask, but hadn’t gotten the chance. So I am aware about the question he shot right now.

After all, it was his daughter who lay weakly in the hospital.

I nodded my head in response “I protected her from the wolfsbane-infused arrows the enemy was aiming at her and she sucked up the poison bravely while I was in a weakened state” I couldn’t help but wince as I explained what happened to her father who just laughed when he heard it, wasn’t he angry? “That’s Gwen” Her father said with a chuckle “The instinct to -protect those she cares about has always been strong” He explained as he looked into my eyes, showing that he understood what his daughter was going through and didn’t blame me for not being able to protect her.

“You’re not angry?” I was amazed to see the father talking casually while knowing his daughter was hurt because of me. He shrugged his shoulders “What for? You’re simply there to show that your top priority is my daughter. I know your sudden arrival in my territory is because you’re worried about her, right?” His words startled me and he laughed at my shock then patted my back lightly.

“Besides” He added and made me look back at my mate’s father “One of the reasons she wanted to become a doctor, was because even though she didn’t have a wolf, back then, she wanted to still be someone useful to the pack” He smiled as if remembering that made him proud.

Yes, even I was proud to hear that my mate was someone as amazing as her.

Ashamed that I ever hurt her just because of my cowardice.

“AARRRGGGHHH… Let go of me… Mellisa, I know you Mellisa!!!” The screams were heard long before we reached the basement and we quickly stop our conversation, know that we have huge responsibility waiting.

“I didn’t know there were witches alive until now” Alpha Blake said as if he knew I could answer him.

I let out a long sigh “That’s one of the most dangerous black witches”

“You know her?”

“The reason my first mate died” I replied briefly before opening the prison door in the basement and facing the black witch inside.
