Mated to the Wolf King novel Chapter 10

I woke up feeling someone was shaking me roughly.

"We're here Kath, wake up", Ruby.

The castle is huge. We followed one of the guards inside. I can't see the King and Queen so I think they came first.

The hallway is so long as we turn left and right until we reach the second floor where there are a lot of rooms.

The guard gives us our designated room. Ruby will be next door to my room. She waves me goodbye and we go into our own room.

The room is simple. Bed, closet, television, and mini-refrigerator with a small bathroom.

I looked inside the closet and found a lot of clothes. Most of them are shirts and leggings for training.

It's not bad. After all, this is just temporary.

I lay in bed and thought of the possibilities after the game. I know I had a chance to win but I cannot underestimate the others since I don't know them, plus I don't want the Queen's title. I don't want to marry the King because my mate is out there, maybe looking for me too.

After a few minutes, I fell asleep.

Zeus Point of View

"Why didn't you tell me about it while I was out of the castle, Tayler?" I almost threw him out of the window.

"Because it's too late to tell you. You’re heading back to the castle the moment I found out that she already escapes." Tyler.

"How did she escape?" How the hell did those stupid rogues escape from my castle?

"She tricked the guard and the moment it came near her, she killed it and escaped." Tyler.

"How about the other guards? They didn't notice her?"

"She masks her scent with the clothes of the guard whom she killed and started a fire to escape." Tyler.

This is ridiculous, that girl is too smart to escape like that.

"I want you to talk to all the guards. I don't want another event like this to happen," I said.

"Yes, my King." Tyler.

"And by the way, Tyler, I want you to order someone to fix the room next to mine. Someone will be using it soon. Mother will announce it tonight at dinner, so let all the Alphas of my land be there except Duren." I said.

"Sure. I had better get going, and Zeus, your soon-to-be wife, is asking about your presence in her room. Good luck with that, My King." He said while laughing.

If Tyler wasn't my best friend and my right hand, sure to hell he'd be dead now.

"I don't care about her. She'd be dead if it wasn't for my father. She's kind of irritating," I said.

"But you need a Queen, Zeus. And she is the best choice for the position since she is the strongest fighter in the kingdom," Tyler explained.

"Don't worry, I will have.... soon," I said, leaving him. I need to take a bath now. I feel dirty from this long journey we've had.

A loud knock on my door stops me from getting into my bathroom.

I open the door and see the blond girl who irritates me the most. I don't know, but ever since I met my mate, this act of Loui's irritate me.

"Loui, what the hell?"

She pushes me into bed and kisses me. I tried to push her away but she put her hands on my neck.

"I'm going to be your Queen Zeus and no matter what happens, you can't take that away from me." She said while trying to kiss me again.

"Well, Loui, being a bitch right now will not make you a Queen." My mother said.

She almost fell to the ground when I pushed her. What the hell is my Mother doing in here?

"M-My Queen." She bows down her head.

“Both of you go to the dining room now, I have an announcement to make.” She said, looking straight into my eyes.

I am the king, but when I see my mother's eyes like that, I become a lost pup who doesn't know what to do.

We followed her into the dining room. No one dares to speak, not even me. I was surprised to see Kath and the blond girl seated with us. I sat in the middle, my mother on my left and Tyler on my right.
