All Chapters of Alpha King's Human Mate: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

All eyes widened as they gazed at the king, and soon a sense of unease pervaded the room. Elijah laughed awkwardly and extended his hand to the back of his head, unsure of what to do. “Relax, man, you know how Eli is. He’s literally attracted to anything that has legs and organs different from his.” Loukas said, trying to ease the tension in the room. Everyone’s eyes are on the king to see how he struggles to compose himself. He takes in deep breaths, and his eyes flash in my direction before relaxing back in his seat. They huffed out a sigh, going back to their dinner, when Elijah spoke, causing more havoc. “I just don’t get why you won’t give her to me; you didn’t care before, so why do you now?” He asked, chewing on his meat. “You and I both know...,” he yelped, glaring at Neve. “Why did you hit me?” “Will you keep your mouth shut?” She spoke sternly at him, peeping over to the king, whose eyes were already blazing with fire. He pulled back his chair, rising to his feet. H

King Orpheus took a seat beside me, taking a bite of his own food as we both ate in comfortable silence. I finished my food, taking another sip of my hot chocolate, like the king called it. My mind wanders off to Godiva and Josie, and I giggle at the thought of their reactions when I do tell them about the meal and the drink. “What are you thinking about?” The king asked, and I clapped my hand to my mouth, realising what I had done. “It's nothing, your majesty.” I say, casting my gaze down from his piercing eyes. I thought he was going to keep asking questions until he got what he wanted, but instead he changed the subject. “You have a little bit of chocolate here.” He says, pointing to the left side of his cheek. I stuck my tongue out to see if I could lick it off my face before using my hand to wipe my cheek. The king laughed, shaking his head. “Let me get it for you.” I didn’t have time to protest when he cupped my cheek and used his thumb to wipe off the spot. A shiver rus

I took a look around the hall and noticed the maids and guards looking at us with disbelief. Some had a look of disgust while others were stunned. "Are you busy?" Elijah’s question had me turning back to gaze at him. "I was on my way to the maids' lounge for lunch before going back to my tasks." "Great, you are not busy." He took hold of my hand, ignoring everything I said, and dragged me to the elevator. "You are coming with me." "Where are we going, sir?" I asked. "I was thinking of going into town to get a few things. It's a good thing I ran into you, because I didn’t want to go alone." "I can’t leave; I have other chores to get to. The king would be angry if I left the palace without his permission." "Don’t worry about Orpheus; I know how to handle him." He said it in a cheery voice. "You can’t tell me you aren’t excited about the thought of stepping out of the palace and seeing the outside world. Since you are a palace maid, I doubt you have ever been outside." He smiled a

It was the sensation of a hand stroking my face that woke me. As soon as I smelt the king's familiar scent, I suppressed a smile. My eyes remain closed while I act as though I'm still asleep, holding my breath to avoid making noise, and savouring the sensation of his hands on my skin. His breath brushed my neck and his chest pressed against my back as I felt the bed dip. "I know you are awake." I remained silent and kept my eyes closed, still acting like I was asleep. "There is no use pretending to be asleep; I can hear your breath, even though you tried to hold it." He stroked my hair as he teasingly says.. I opened my eyes, turning to look at him. I had a sheepish smile on my face when I saw the smirk on his. “I was wondering where you were since you were supposed to help me tidy up the library. Was surprised to find you still sleeping. It looked like you needed it, and besides, you were too cute for me to wake up." I blushed at his words, giving a little apologetic smile fo

Orpheus POV."The matters had been handled." Loukas said as we concluded our discussion.I nodded, flipping the page of the document in my hand as I read through it."With that said and done, let's move on to the next matter.""What matters?" I asked, pretending not to know.Loukas sighed, rubbing his hands over his face as he got up from his seat on the couch to sit in a chair opposite me. "You have been trying to avoid this. You know you can’t, right?""I have no idea what you are talking about.""Really, man." He says, frustrated. "I thought things were going great from what you told me, so I don’t understand why you won’t tell her. Are you scared she might not feel the same and want to break the bond?"I shrugged, pretending to read the file in my hands. He has been pestering me for weeks now, ever since I talked about introducing Micaela to Sliver."You are really not going to tell her." He asked again."I think it’s best for the both of us." I tell him plainly, keeping my voice
