Chapter 6
|| LUCIUS DE ROSSI's POV ||
I had bailed on my entire life today over some stupid girl!
It was a mess all over!
Not only had I pushed my position to a threat, but my secret was no longer safe. For a whole decade, I kept my best nature a secret, a curse that U couldn't avoid. My beta supported me and he was the one who always guarded me on every blood moon day. But last night, I didn't know how the little girl followed me into the abandoned warehouse. I couldn't admire her courage less. Others would have been gone but she stood there by my side. Very strangely, my wolf was calm in her presence. Even my beast didn't hurt her.
For years, my beast was sexually frustrated. The mountain Alpha my predecessor, told me that someone could be dead if I tried to have sex with her in my beast form. From that time, I decided to chain and torture myself on every blood moon day. I didn't want to kill an innocent girl because of my sexual frustration. I guessed that the frustration led me to mark the slave girl today.
Whatever it was, I couldn't deny the fact that she was my mate now. It would be hard to resist her anymore. It was against the custom of Royalty to have a chosen mate. If the news broke out, I would be kicked off my throne. Not only that, but the girl knew my secret well. If it came outside, the pack would lose their trust in me.
I fucked up badly!
A groan left my mouth as I walked back to the castle. I had no intention of showing up in the hallway but a cheerful voice forced me back,
" Buddy!! You are finally here. Fuck! I thought I would have to wait for a whole fucking day."
Alpha Nico came to pull me into his bare hug. He was the closest friend that I had in the kingdom. Even before becoming a king, he was my best friend. I was mentally exhausted. Hence his presence didn't excite me as usual. I asked rudely, pretending to be normal since the fucker had a sharp eye,
" WHAT!! Are you free to come to the castle early in the morning? Are you free from your Alpha duties?"
Nico rolled his eyes before placing a hand over his heart dramatically. He muttered in a whining voice, landing on his butt on the cushioned chair aside,
" I am hurt. My best friend doesn't love me anymore after becoming the king."
I swear that it was the hundredth time that he was telling me the same thing!
Whenever I didn't go with his plane, he made this excuse of not loving me. I put my anger aside for a while before asking calmly,
" Care to tell me why you are here to annoy me so early in the morning?"
A wicked grin tugged on his lips. Rubbing his chin, he demanded shamelessly,
" I heard that you got a bunch of hot new slaves in the castle. Can I get one, please, please? You know Sierra, my previous slave? She doesn't feel so fun to fuck anymore. I need a new ass, buddy. Please just one, okay?"
One thing, no one knew about my friend was that he was a famous womanizer. Since he didn't find any mate or intended to find any, he fucked almost every girl in the town. Giving one slave was no big deal for me. Before I could respond, the door was pushed open and my stomach turned into a tight knot. Monica Lewinsky stood with a tray in her hands, looking shocked to see me. She swallowed before muttering, the frustration of her wolf could be felt through the bond,
" I..I..I am.. sorry..Your Highness! They said that we had a guest. So I brought tea for him."
Nico flew over to get the tea before I shared my comment on that. His eyes raked over Monica's body more than usual. A deep rumble came out of my chest but I swallowed it back.
I DIDN'T FUCKING LIKE IT !!
Monica Lewinsky was looking fresh. She wore a light pink shabby gown. The fact that she had still managed to attract Nico made me hate her for no reason. Nico muttered with a devilish grin,
" New one, huh? Buddy, why don't you give her to me? She has a sexy ass."
I blurted out before I could stop my wrath,
" DON'T EVEN FUCKING THINK ABOUT THAT."
My reaction was too much to tell. Even Monica lifted her eyes at me, confusion seeping through her eyes. I gulped hard before meeting Nico's confused stare. Lowering my tone a little bit, I added it again breathlessly,
" She still has a lot to learn. Why don't you check on others? Monica, go now."
Monica left after giving us a short bow. Nico made a disappointed face. He came over to me before whining again, his eyes sparkling with excitement,
" Gosh, you know her name? She must be a beauty to catch your eye. Why don't you share her with me? I promise to treat her well."
BECAUSE SHE WAS ONLY MINE! MINE!
A distant voice rang in my ears. I ignored it and focused on the important part of my hand. Grabbing Nico aside, I asked him with a sullen face, the thought of him with Monica bringing fire to my veins,
" Tell me! Who can break the mate bond among us? I need to know as soon as possible."
Nico widened his eyes in disbelief. He almost shouted out loud, turning red in shock,
" Who is your mate? Wait..where is she? Why don't you want her?"
Too many questions!
Nico already had a habit of getting on my skin. I gritted my teeth together, stopping myself from wanting to strangle my best friend. I replied with a low breath, sounding frustrated,
" I...well..I have marked a slave and.. it will be the death of mine. I need to break the bond at once."
Nico let out a curse, his face turning pale in tension,
" Fuck, buddy. You have fucked up this time. Well, I know some witch but it's a problem to meet her."
A light of hope flashed in my hand. I replied with a groan proudly, my mind getting anxious to find a solution to this problem,
" Who the fuck will dare to disobey me? You just say. I will grab that witch from wherever I want."
Nico let out a heavy sigh, his gaze darkening before he clarified the truth to me,
" It's not about your command. The witch..lives in the territory of Zion De Rossi. If he finds out that you have crossed his land, he will be free to kill you."
Oh, Zion De Rossi! My fucking stepbrother!
If I ever wanted to kill someone badly, it was him. He and his mother had ruined my mother's happiness. Not only that, he made himself the king just to get revenge on me. How could I forget my sworn enemy? But the bond breaking was important as well. I couldn't be lusting over some stupid omega. Besides, Monica Lewinsky looked like someone unfit to be the queen.
I blurted after thinking deeply,
" Do it. I don't care what he would do to me but I want to remove the bond from me. We will be careful but I can't keep this bond with me, Nico."
Nico hummed with a long sigh. After a while, he gave his words, taking a sip from his tea,
" Then I will arrange it properly. You don't have to worry about that. Zion won't find you. He isn't capable enough to find you, my king."
