All Chapters of The Alpha King True Mate : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Selene's POV"What?!" Candice? What is Candice doing here? Oh no, I'm doomed now. If Candice is here, then that means she has heard everything. Of course, this will affect Zeus's judgment.I noticed how calm he was, even after hearing what I said. I cried all the more, but somewhere, I had this hope that he would forgive me and say it was okay. I'm not a terrible person like my parents."Did you do it?" That was all he asked.I was too afraid to admit it. I could just say it was a prank and that I never allowed my father to speak to me, but that would only make. I live with the guilt for a longer period. I couldn't deal with it anymore. I have to let it out."Did you do it, Selene?!" He yelled and I shook with fear. I heard a snicker from outside and I felt my blood boil despite my sorry situation."I'm sorry, Zeus-""Don't you dare to take my name from your mouth? You are lying, snitch!" He yelled. It was like someone room a knife and pierced it into my heart, twisting and turning it

Zeus's POVMy head hurts so much, even my heart aches. Seeing her cry the way she did made me feel so guilty. But then, how could she do such a thing to me? I thought that Selene was the most innocent of them. How come she even dared to drug me? How did she even do it?Was this why, despite my growing feelings for her, I just didn't feel comfortable enough to allow her to serve me a meal without tasting it? Moon goddess, what have I ever done to deserve this hateful life from you? First, you delay the meeting of my mate for a long time, until I'm 28 years of age, then you brought an Abnormal person for me?As if it's not bad enough, you allowed her to poison me. Gosh, what can I do? When she had said she wanted to tell me something and she seemed so scared, I couldn't guess that somehow it was this. I was rather ready to believe that she had maybe mated with someone else and was now pregnant for them. That would be...Thinking about it, if that was what she had told me, I don't think

Candice's POVThe way Susan stared at me after Zeus left made me feel even worse. I wanted to glare at her but I failed miserably. Why? Why was she staring at me? It almost felt like she was gloating."Don't get mad at me, I'm not the one who caused this." She said, chuckling a little.Oh, she found something funny? She had the nerve to laugh at such a critical moment like this? What was so funny?"You could have signaled for me to leave since you had a guest, at least I would have-""You would have still gone ahead and said whatever it is you had wanted to say, and you wouldn't regard my guest because you don't believe that anyone else can bring Alpha Zeus in, except you." She said."Suz, you don't know what has just happened." I cried.She laughed mockingly. "Don't I? Candice, I do know what is going on. Alpha Zeus came here to inform me what Selene did, and I told him that Selene was too innocent and pure to do that of her own accord. He admitted that truly it was her father who in

Candice's POVThe estate felt alive with a kind of tension that made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Even in the shadows of the dimly lit halls, I could sense the weight of what was about to happen. The council meeting was no ordinary affair; this was a turning point, and I had every intention of using it to my advantage.I walked with purpose, my heels echoing against the polished marble floors as I followed the voices to the council chamber. The guards had been reluctant to let me through the gate, but now that I was inside, I felt untouchable.The doors to the council room were cracked open just slightly, the soft murmur of conversation floating through the gap. I stood back for a moment, listening.“I say we move forward with exile,” a deep voice argued. It sounded like Beta Evan. “Selene’s betrayal can’t go unanswered, or it’ll make Alpha Zeus look weak.”“She was manipulated,” another voice countered. I couldn’t place the speaker, but the tone was measured and calm. “P

Zeus’ POVMy mind was a storm. My thoughts swirled around the image of Candice, her attempt to sway me, to make me believe that her opinion of how I should punish Selene was of importance. The nerve of her. Who did she think she was to come into my presence and offer such advice? What was she even thinking? I had trusted Selene, had let her into my life in ways no one else had been allowed, and she had betrayed me in the worst way possible. Even though I wanted to punish Selene, Candice had overstepped.“Destroy everything I’ve built?” I muttered under my breath, pacing around the study. The anger surged again, hot and suffocating. My thoughts turned back to Selene, to the way she had looked at me and begged me to forgive her. There was nothing but lies in her eyes, nothing but manipulation. Yet, a flicker of doubt remained, buried deep beneath the waves of anger.But Candice’s presence still burned like a wound that had refused to heal. The woman had no right to tell me how to lead
