Hana's POV
I walked nervously towards the guest room the woman asked me to. Standing before the door, I knocked and heard a deep, domineering voice answer.
“Come in!”
I opened the door and walked in to see the lycan king seated, I paused, right away nervousness sealed my body. Merely looking at his beautiful face took my breath away, but his cold eyes glaring at me made me reconsider my fate.
King Leonardo was tall and perfectly muscular in stature, his broad chest and arms strained against his tight shirt. His feet stamped the ground in his black pair of trousers with authority. He was the definition of a perfect work of art, an ace of beauty. My gaze lingered on him for a few seconds before I quickly looked down, not daring to meet his gaze again.
“Damn I don't dare to look at him but I can't bear looking away.” I said to myself.
“What's going on?” I asked my wolf who was getting super excited right now.
“You sent for me, your highness.” I asked in a respectful tone, curtseying. Alpha Calvin was sitting in the opposite direction with his hand draped over Maribel. They looked with pride.
“Well, I came to take you to be my mate. A prophecy was made that I should pick a mate from none other than Lenin Pack and I came down here to meet with its Alpha for negotiations on a mate to pick.” He paused and took a quick breath, then popped out his eyes, saying with all authority.
“I'm going home with you because–”
My heart was thumping so hard. I wanted to hear what he was going to say next.
“You've been sold to me. I paid the sum of a million dollars on your head. You have to go with me, no refusal.” Saying this, he rose up from the couch.
I turned to Calvin, he made a proud nod. Maribel’s face glowed. Why are they happy now?
“Well, you'll be his slave and serve him all your life,” he chuckled. “It's way better than staying to create enmity between my mate and I.”
Another false accusation from Calvin.
Who knows what he said to the king that would make him offer to buy me when there are a whole lot of young virgins here in the pack. I still couldn't understand what was going on.
“Why did you come all the way from Orleans to get me?” I stammered, my lips refusing to close because I needed an immediate answer.
“I've been crushing on the real Luna of Lenin Pack for a year now, hearing on the news you're sidelined, I came to pick you up.” He whispered into my ear. I turned my face, looking at him all-puzzled but he winked at me smiling at Calvin.
Did he really say something else to Calvin to get me?
I was stunned upon thinking of his real reason for buying me. I tried hard to suppress my blush. I couldn't imagine this but his wink made me know he didn't want Calvin to know his real reason.
“But why? He's the lycan king and the most respected in the entire country?” I questioned my wolf.
“Even though he is the king, Calvin has the right not to sell you because you're still legally married to him even though he no longer wants you. If he wanted taking you openly, it would be by force but he doesn't want to be involved in a scandal.”
“So he has to trick him into buying you.” My wolf replied.
My heart fluttered realizing that Calvin and Maribel both think I would be a sex slave. Even if I was, it would surely be better than being with traitors.
“Your majesty, you can take her now! Do whatever you please with her.” He said to the king.
“You're gonna live with me henceforth, totally submissive to me and myself alone.” He said with so much authority, grabbing my hand.
Prior to the fact that he was gorgeous, I was already crushing on him. I couldn't just go without making Calvin regret his decision of bringing in Maribel.
“I have no plans of returning with you to Orleans anytime soon. I would love to spend some time here in this estate.” I pleaded with him. I prayed deep inside of me that he would accept.
King Leonardo looked at me for a brief moment, then he nodded.
“Alright,” he muttered. I smiled warmly, looking back at Calvin and Maribel who now seemed confused.
We were assigned the special guest house here in the pack house. I would say it's even more luxurious than the apartment I shared with Calvin.
I wanted this, to be with King Leonardo but now we were alone in the room, tension rippled through my chest. I became nervous, avoiding those charming blue eyes of his. I sat at the edge of the bed.
“Are you really shy? Come on, baby. This is the moment I've been waiting for. Now you belong to me.” He shifted close to me, placing his hand on my shoulders.
My hormones were in chaos feeling him close to me, his scent washing deeply over me. My core clenched and the next moment I was ready to give myself totally to him, until one thought came to mind.
“Your majesty, I thought you once had a woman you were engaged to?” I thought well to ask.
“Can you show me around this pack house?” He switched the topic, silencing me.
“Hmm, okay your majesty.”:I couldn't refuse.
We left the room to conduct a short tour around the massive estate as he wanted, even though he became so immersed in the beauty of the environment and was praising it, my mind wasn't here. I wanted to know about the woman he introduced on live TV three months ago as his potential queen.
Minutes later, he handed over his phone to me. “Let me quickly use the toilet.” His body language explained how serious it was and he needed to leave immediately.
I wondered if he even knew where it was or if he had used it way coming here. Perhaps he had a running stomach or something.
I grabbed his phone, adoring its luxury when the screen came up. A message here.
Gahlia Rovlin.
“Hello Leonardo, I'm sorry for texting you today. You asked me to disappear from public life and your private life upon our breakup until you found a suitable time to break the news to the media.”
“But–”
My nerves stiffened watching the typing notification come up with the next message she was going to send. My eyes popped out wide.
“The doctor declared three months pregnant upon feeling ill and having to visit the hospital in my hometown.”
“The baby is yours because after we parted, I never had sex with any man. I'll be visiting the palace tomorrow, so we can sort things out.”
My lips quivered and my spirit was almost gone when I felt a tap on my shoulder from behind. “What's that?” Leonardo’s voice came up from behind me. I shrieked as I turned to see him staring at me.
I handed over the phone to him, feeling my heart torn a billion pieces. I thought I'd grabbed a perfect mate, a king and a potential husband.
Why will his ex come at this moment? Now, how will they sort this out when he had already confessed how he's been desiring me for a long time?
