The Alpha King's Mate novel Chapter 49

Hugo sighs.

"If you really must know Alpha, he will do much worse than kill her,"

"What could be worse than being killed?"

"He will keep her in the iron cuffs for the rest of her life. She will be forced to have his heirs." He says.

My fists tighten. I'm shaking with rage and sadness at the prospect of what could happen to my beloved mate. Seeing my clenched hands, Hugo gives me the side-eye.

"But that mate of yours is one tough kitten. You know she had beaten me in a fight? She even kicked me square in the balls," Hugo embarrassedly admits trying to cheer me up.

"Really?" I say with surprise.

"Yup, she sure did," he grins and ponders the memory for a moment.

We burst into laughter.

"You must tell me the story," I say.

Hugo tells me how she fought with strength and bravery. She had the chance to kill him, but she instead showed him kindness and forgave him, and the army grew the utmost respect for her.

"You are one lucky man Alpha," he says.

"I sure am, but we need to get some sleep, Hugo. We have a princess to save,"

Hugo nods and rolls on his side to sleep.

"And Hugo," I say.

"Yes, Alpha?" He says.

"I don't want to hear you snoring all night long,"

Oh, okay, I thought you were going to thank me, but I'll try not to snore, he says as he rolls back onto his back and resumes his slumber.

I gaze at the moon and pray to the Moon Goddess to have my Luna back safe by my side.

"I love you, Maia. I am going to save you and give you the life you deserve," I say as I roll over to sleep.

Before I manage to drift off to sleep, Hugo begins to

snore. I sigh and close my eyes.

Maia

It's early morning. King Fenris unchains me from the chair and waits for me to stand up. After a moment, he realises I have no intention of moving.

"Maia, get up now." He yells. I keep my head down. My cheek still hurts. All I want is to be in Damon's arms.
