Chapter 3 Truly he was handsome

  • He couldn't believe he just found his mate and not in good circumstances, what if she had died 'fuck' he cursed inwardly.
  • Since he became king he never had the luxury of thinking about a mate, he never pictured a scenario where he would finally get to meet his mate but how he met her and she almost died because of him!!
  • Was his bad luck trying to kill his mate since everything he preyed on always found themselves dead he believed he had a bad aura that spoke of nothing but 'DEATH', but was he ready to accept his mate after all this while of thinking he was not destined to have a mate.
  • Can she bring life back into his unmoving heart? can she add something meaningful to his life? All these unfamiliar and confusing thoughts were bugging his mind.
  • He stretched his hand to touch hers again but his wound bled out more, he groaned and stood up to leave the room.
  • Timothy was waiting for him outside " how is she??" He asked him, he could have gone inside the room with him earlier but he had to make sure they were clear and no one knows about what happened in the forest.
  • "She has been treated, She might....." He groaned and could not complete his sentence
  • "I think your wound needs to be treated, it is over an hour now" Timothy informed him when he saw his wound kept on bleeding.
  • Daniel just gave him a nod and they walked away from the room Liliana was staying in,
  • When they reached his chamber, the physician was already stationed there
  • They treated him and flushed out the wolf's bane from his body.
  • Once the physicians were out Timothy brought up what happened in the forest.
  • "I assigned someone to watch over Kristen" Timothy informed him, Daniel stood up and went to pick up a cigarette from one of the drawers in his room, he lit it up and went to the balcony. Timothy followed him
  • "Their hideout won't be so easy to get, they have being able to hide well for years," Daniel took a drag and replied Timothy.
  • "Shouldn't you let the wound heal first?" Timothy asked him referring to the cigarette he was smoking
  • "Come on man, this is nothing," Daniel told him and glanced at him, for someone like him that became king at a young age against all odds this was nothing to him.
  • He strengthened his kingdom by himself without anyone to dictate for him and that made him a feared and powerful alpha king.
  • "You looked like you were dying before" Timothy teased him and smirked
  • "Are you mocking your alpha king?" Daniel asked him trying to scare him
  • But timothy being his best friend for a long time was not intimidated at all "that doesn't scare me, and even if you are strong, I advise you to give your body rest" he replied him
  • "Rest is for the 'weak' " he stressed on the word weak, Daniel was not the type to rest he believed an alpha king should not act weak because the moment you start acting weak your enemies and people take you for granted and it might be your greatest weakness. Timothy shook his head at his stubborn and cold friend. He knew it was useless trying to advise him.
  • Even Timothy wondered if Daniel was who he really knew atimes, he can be dangerous and nice but when we say nice it comes with a price.
  • The following morning in the room allocated for Liliana, she opened her eyes slowly and gave a muffled sound from the long sleep she just had. She looked around the room she was in and noticed it was not her room she stood up and wondered where she could be, she suddenly remembered she was going to deliver a cloth yesterday and... "I was shot!!!" she exclaimed out and checked her arm where she was shot yesterday, that's right before she went unconscious she saw a man by her side, Who was he??
  • she started trying to put all the facts in place. She was about to leave the room when someone entered.
  • She looked at the man in front of her, his firm and broad shoulders hanging on his perfect body with his black hair that was shining under the absence of light and his tall unbreakable body. She brought her gaze up to his face and was awed by his chiseled feature, his straight nose, and firm cheekbones, his golden-colored eyes that looked cold and was bringing out a dangerous aura.
  • Daniel who entered the room saw Liliana already in front of the door, he assumed she wanted to leave. When he saw where her gaze went, he shook his head and smirked.
  • Liliana snapped out of her thoughts when she saw him shaking his head, she couldn't believe she was admiring him but truthfully he was so handsome ' you have Jeremy remember' she thought and asked "who are you?"
  • "Seems like you are okay now, how is your wound?" He asked her not answering her question, she touched her arm she winced a little but the pain was bearable
  • "I am fine thank you" she replied him and wanted to ask her question again but " that's good, my assistant will take you home" he said and turned his back to leave but Liliana stopped him with her question " Did you save me and brought me here?" She asked him, she wanted to know if he was the man she saw before she went unconscious " Yes" he replied her by the time she said 'thanks' he already left the room
  • On her way home in one of the carriage she was given to ride home in she saw her mother and her younger brother asking people about her whereabouts she quickly stopped the carriage and went to meet her mother
  • "Mama" she called out and went to hug her mother
  • "Liliana, where have you been? I was so worried," Her mother hugged her back tightly and sobbed
  • She felt bad for making her mum cry "I am sorry mother, something happened" she told her mum, Her mother released her from her embrace and held her cheeks to ask her "what happened?"
  • "I told you she is fine mother" Liliana's brother, Stephen interrupted.
  • He shook his head and was annoyed for having to look for her even though he knew she was fine
  • Mrs. Micheal hit him on his back "ouch" he winced and left their side
  • "Have you seen Jeremy's fiancee?" one woman out of the two women passing by their side asked her company.
  • "Yes she is so beautiful " the other woman replied her and smiled
  • Liliana who heard what they said went to their front and held the hand of the woman that said Jeremy's finance was beautiful.
  • "Jeremy has a fiancee," she asked the woman with widened eyes, the woman was annoyed by how Liliana held her and jerked her hand away " who are you and yes Jeremy has a fiancee" she eyed Liliana and with that, she left her side with the other woman
  • Liliana could not believe what she just heard ' the only guy she wanted to marry has a fiancee!!!!!!'
