The King's Wife Is The Alpha's Mate

Nicholas continued to visit and arrive at the manor to see Luciel and Jan. He didn't know where Sophie was or if she was avoiding him. It's been several days and there were no signs that Sophie was around.

However, Nicholas was stubborn and kept coming back. Even though he couldn't see Sophie yet, he still felt happy to go to that manor because his arrival was always welcomed by the two children.

Unfortunately, it was not accepted by Lucas and all the lycans that guarded the manor. In the beginning, they only showed their hostility but didn't try to attack him because they still saw him as royalty.

While Leland was away, Lucas tried his best not to incite war with the kingdom.  However, seeing how Nicholas stubbornly kept coming back, Lucas and the others finally couldn't hold back their anger.

There were two reasons why Lucas and all the lycans there were so hostile and displeased with Nicholas' arrival. First, they were not happy because they knew that Nicholas was the king of a kingdom that had killed many of their people.

And the second reason was that they could smell the Alpha scent that Nicholas had.  As territorial creatures who guarded their territory fiercely, they considered Nicholas a threat that must be removed. It was the natural instinct of the lycan.

On the third day, Lucas and five guards came to Nicholas, who was now seated with Jan and Luciel on a bench in the manor courtyard. After getting to know this sweet uncle, Luciel and Jan accepted him without question as a friend of their mom's.

Nicholas brought them toys and other presents and slowly he could move closer toward the manor with the two boys when they were talking, laughing, and playing with him.

This angered Lucas greatly. He could see how the boys were the king's spitting image and he had his assumptions about the true relationship between their Luna and this man.

As Leland's second in command, Lucas felt such deep loyalty to his Alpha. He could feel how much Nicholas' presence around the Alpha's children would make Leland upset.

Without further ado, three guards immediately pulled Nicholas up and dragged the king out of the gate while the other two guards took Luciel and Jan inside the manor by force.

Jan and Luciel revolted as the two guards grabbed them.

"GET OFF! GET OFF ME! UNCLEEE!!" Jan and Luciel screamed as they called out to Nicholas. They were sad to see Nicholas being treated so rudely by the Beta and the guards.

"Uncle!"

Nicholas, who had just been dragged out of the gate, was silent for a few seconds when he saw Jan and Luciel being carried into the manor.

The two children shouted for him with their arms outstretched to reach Nicholas. Their faces looked like they were in much anxiety as they looked pleadingly in sorrow.

Nicholas clenched his hands tightly, and his gaze looked very sharp.

Lucas saw the angry expression, but he ignored it and gestured for one of the guards to close the gate.

When the guard wanted to close the gate, Nicholas held the gate with both hands and, suddenly, the atmosphere around them turned cold and intense.

All the guards who were around the manor immediately felt the same threat. Those who had watched him for a while gave Nicholas a sharp glare. And even those who were previously seated a bit far away immediately stood up while they simultaneously turned their heads towards the gate.

The aura that Nicholas gave off was so strong that it gave some of the guards goosebumps.

The aura pressure did not only affect them but also the environment around them. A crack sounded from a tree, and a few seconds later, a branch of the tree snapped.

Nicholas's eyes were focused on Lucas, who was also looking at him intently and then suddenly….

In a split second, Nicholas had grabbed Lucas by the neck and then rushed forward with great haste and rammed Lucas' back against the manor wall.

The wall fell and shattered like a wafer.

All the guards fell silent with their mouths open, they barely noticed when Nicholas flashed before them.

The commotion created by Nicholas made the servants panic and run into the deeper parts of the manor.

Lucas rose from the rubble, some blood dripping from his forehead and running down the left side of his face, but such a wound could not be called a fatal wound.

All the guards who had been silent now moved quickly to surround Nicholas and wanted to attack, but Lucas stopped them.

"Don't interfere," Lucas said coldly. He showed himself to be the representative of a terrifying Alpha. His pride wouldn't allow him to gang up on the enemy. This was a problem that should be settled on a one-on-one fight.

Max wanted to object Lucas' order. He could see clearly that Lucas was no match for this enemy. However, the Beta had bolted at Nicholas, and once started, a fight was inevitable.

Lucas quickly repelled Nicholas. Even though he was just a Beta, he already had a lot of fighting experience.

p Every punch he combined with a glare felt incredibly powerful. Nicholas felt the bones in his arm vibrate, and it seemed it would be difficult for him to fend off Lucas' attack.

Face, stomach, legs, chest.  Lucas continued to do fast attacks to break down Nicholas's defenses.

In one moment, he jumped on top of Nicholas' head, and with a very fast movement, when they were back to back, he grabbed Nicholas' hand and pulled him up.

Due to the intense tug, Nicholas' body was lifted and slammed in front of Lucas.

Blood dripped from Nicholas' nose as soon as his face hit the ground. Before Lucas could strike again, Nicholas immediately rolled over, got up, and jumped back, then he turned into a lycan. Lucas immediately followed suit and transformed into a huge brown wolf.

Tension enveloped the hearts of all the inhabitants of the manor. The guards stood in line by the collapsed wall while the servants peered from inside through the windows.

All attention turned to the brown and gray wolves who now stood opposite each other. The two creatures let out a low roar while showing their sharp rows of teeth.

Grrr…

From Missrealitybites:

So, now it's Lucas and Nicholas fighting. I will continue the outdoor snu scene, don't worry, but I have to put it on hold for a liiiitle bit. I am joining a webtoon contest with my book and my mentee's book. The deadline is in 12 hours and we are FAR FROM READY.

So, apologies, I will have to focus on that one first and come back here tomorrow. I really can't wait to share with you the two new stories. They are two of my favorite stories EVER, and I think you will love them too.

I have posted some parts on my P a t r e o n, but next month I will start posting the s here on Web and maybe the comic on my website (I cannot publish comics on this platform, so it's going to be either Tapas, Webtoon, or my website. Of course, P a t r e o n will still be the place I publish the advanced chapters/episodes).

So, these are what I have in the pipeline:

1. 1912-1932 = historical story, sweet and simple, and has probably one of my most loved doting husband, Arya.

2. Odette & The Cursed King = a story by my mentee, Ogi. This is the story that gave me goosebumps. I swear no story gave me goosebumps before. I helped Ogi translate and edit her book.

3. The Sex Game = a story that has the most snusnu ever (I am going out of my comfort zone by writing a steamy story with a vampire trope)

4. Catalina Ashborn = A short side story for Catalina, Loriel's and Elise's daughter, who was trying to live a normal life among humans, as normal as a girl in her circumstances (with an overprotective god of war for brother, the scary former king of Summeria as her father, and a powerful witch for a mother) could be.

I also plan to end "The Cursed Prince" (Harlow's story) by June, so, I can start publishing those other stories I have with me. Wish me luck!
