The King's Wife Is The Alpha's Mate

"I'm sorry, Father." Karenina hugged her father and said, "I don't know why I love the king so much while he never loved me. He has broken my heart many times, but strangely I can't stop chasing him. Father, I am really scared that the king will know that I am lying."

Her heart ached again, and she began to cry.

"It's fine, Honey. But please don't do that again. I'll help you get the king as your husband." Viscount Verhoven stroked his daughter's head lovingly.

After a while, he asked what important thing Karenina wanted to say, so Karenina had to go all the way to Hauntingen and not just send letters.

Karenina got up from her father's arms and began to tell the incident when she was saved by the king.

Viscount Verhovent was very surprised when he heard Karenina say that when she was saved by the king, she saw the king turn into a lycan.

"Karenina, are you sure of what you saw? Are you sure it wasn't a hallucination?"

Karenina shook her head. She then explained that at first, she had doubts. However, she later became convinced when the queen told her not to tell anyone what she saw, including Viscount Verhoven.

"What do you think?" asked Karenina when she saw her father was silent.

Right now, Viscount Verhoven remembered about the wolfsbane that grew a lot in the Blackwoods Forest. The previous King of the Riga Kingdom made that place a border to block the presence of the lycans.

The viscount then suspected that six years ago, King Nicholas was poisoned by wolfsbane so that he lost his memory. Then, coincidentally he was found by Karenina.

Viscount Verhoven looked at Karenina intently, then asked, "You already know that the king is a lycan. Do you still want to marry him?"

Karenina was silent. Actually, when she was on her way to Hauntingen, she had thought about it carefully. Her little heart said that the king was a good man.

If King Nicholas had been willing to marry her, Karenina would accept all of the king's flaws. Including the fact that the king was a lycan.

Karenina finally nodded after a few seconds of silence. "Yes, father. I love him no matter what."

"Then there is no other choice. There is only one way to get the king to marry you," Viscount Verhoven said.

"What's that?" Karenina looked very curious.

The viscount closed his eyes for a moment.

"You should sleep with another man," he said, which took Karenina by surprise. "And make sure you are pregnant."

"W-what did Father say?" Karenina couldn't believe what she had just heard.

"We are lucky that the king doesn't remember what happened that night," the viscount looked at Karenina seriously. "We can still evade the truth. If you are pregnant immediately, you can claim that the child is his. We just have to find a man that resembles His Majesty."

"...." Karenia pressed her lips in shock.

"You can think about it first. If you want to marry the king, then that's the only way to go." Viscount Verhoven crossed his arms on his chest. "Unless you don't really want him."

Karenina fell silent again. Her heart was beating faster. She gripped tightly on her dress.  She was shocked to hear her father's suggestion. She couldn't imagine another man enjoying her body. She felt disgusted just thinking about it.

However...

Was there any other way for her to still keep the king? She had tried everything... and even almost lost her life for him.

No... Karenina couldn't even imagine if she had to lose the king. She would rather die...

She recalled the king's piercing gaze when accusing her of lying and then the king's dazzled gaze when she saw Sophia Romanov. Those two things stirred anger in her heart.

How could he look at another woman with such dreamy and affectionate gaze, and he never once looked at her that way? She was his fiancee for over five years.

She had endured so much to stay by his side despite his cold treatment and so many gossips out there from those other noblewomen who were jealous of her luck.

Why didn't he ever look at her lovingly... even once?

"Think about it," said Viscount Verhoven to end their conversation. When he got up to leave Karenina's room, suddenly the young woman called out to him.

"Father..." She bit her lip and tears slowly fell down from her eyes. "I..."

"Yes?"

"I... will... " Karenina wiped her tears and steeled her heart. "I will do it."

"Very well." Viscount Verhoven looked pleased by his daughter's decision. "We will execute the plan as soon as possible. Prepare yourself for tonight."

"T-tonight...?" Karenina choked on her words.

That was extremely fast. She almost thought her father had thought about this plan even before she brought up the issue.

​ Had Viscount Verhoven been thinking about it and prepared for this possible scenario?

"Do you want to marry the king or not?" The viscount glared at Karenina. "Don't you want to be the queen of Riga?"

Karenina lowered her head. She squeezed her dress tightly. She would... lose her virginity to... a random man that her father choose?

She closed her eyes.

She only wanted to do it with Nicholas. She loved that man and she only wanted to sleep with him. She never dreamed of letting another man see her naked body.

She felt disgusted by the plan.

"Stop being wishy-washy. Make up your mind," Viscount Verhoven scolded her. He came to Karenina and grabbed her shoulder tightly. "Don't make our family embarrassed by failing to marry the king. Do you have any idea, how those other people will mock and insult us? Do you want to embarrass our family??"

"No, father..." Karenina cried harder.

"Get yourself ready. Tonight at six, I will send the man to your room."

The viscount left the room in long strides, leaving Karenina feeling disgusted about herself. The young woman dropped to the floor, sobbing.

I know you all want to throw tomatoes... or even cow dung at this father-daughter duo... hahahahhaha... I'm totally fine with it, as long as you don't throw tomatoes at me... nyehehe.

Please bear with it for a bit. They can try all schemes and whatnot, but Nicholas wouldn't budge. So, don't worry. I am not a fan of NTR trope.

Anyway... my comics are done for 3 eps each. You can check the visuals now if you want:

"1912-1932" is at bit.ly/19121932

"Odette & The Cursed King" is at bit.ly/odettecomic

They are still in Indonesian. I will translate both stories into English soon and publish all the eps to my P a t r e o n and next month probably I will start publishing them on comic platforms and bring the s to Web.

If you want to become my patron, my patreon is at p a t r e o n.com/missrealitybites (remove the space).

Pssh... both comics are joining a contest now. So, if you could tap love on each episode (even though you don't understand the language), I'd really appreciate it.. ahhahahah.

Much love, MRB
