The King's Wife Is The Alpha's Mate

"Are they prisoners of Duke Romanov?" Nicholas' gaze that was still on the Romanov residence suddenly sharpened.

The king clenched his fists. His distaste for the long-haired duke only grew.

Nicholas wanted to ask Noel to help him free the two children. He turned around and was about to walk quickly to approach Noel, who might be still downstairs but…

Hey, wait a minute!

He froze his steps and was silent like a statue for three seconds when he realized that he had almost done something very stupid.

Noel was the leader of the royal lycan hunters, and Nicholas wanted Noel to help him free the two lycan children?

Idiot!

Noel wouldn't free the kids. He would probably kill them straight away.

Apart from that, Nicholas also had to remember who he really was. He was also a lycan, a monster. At the moment, he was also the royal enemy, though it was really hard to believe. That was the truth.

If Noel and the members of the Royal Lycan Hunter found out that he was a lycan, they would turn to hunt him.

Nicholas turned back to face the window. His amber eyes stared intently at the Romanov residence.

With no other choice, he would investigate the truth of the gossip himself. If the gossip was proven true, then the two lycan children that were in the meadow earlier were prisoners of Duke Romanov.

Nicholas would free the children and teach Duke Romanov a valuable lesson that he would never forget.

Nicholas now raised his hands and stared at his own palms. In his mind, he wanted to dabble in transforming into a lycan and wanted to know if he could control his transformation or not.

But how to do it?

The king, who had just found out that he was a lycan, was confused.

Nicholas crouched down on all four and said, "Transform."

Swooosh!

The wind blew, and… nothing happened.

"Shift!" Nicholas tried one more time, this time he intentionally made his voice deeper ...

Still, nothing happened.

"Shift,  shift, shift!"

"Aarrrgghh!!! Why is it so hard?"

"What should I do to transform back into a lycan?" Nicholas muttered in frustration.

He tried many times, but nothing happened until he got annoyed and hit the floor. That was when he suddenly turned into a dark wolf.

The emotional change was the answer to Nicholas' question about how to shift, but if he wanted to shift into his lycan form anytime he wanted, then he needed practice.

***

Meanwhile, inside the manor, Leland, who was sleeping beside Sophie, woke up when he heard a faint sound from the outside. It was a conversation among his men. They were talking about Luciel and Jan meeting a foreign Alpha in the meadow.

Leland immediately remembered that his manor was near the royal villa. It made him suspect that the foreign Alpha that Luciel and Jan met was their real father.

Leland's heart struck his chest hard. Instantly he was filled with immense jealousy.

He kissed Sophie then sprinted out of the room. As he darted out he advised Lucas, Duncan and the others to strengthen the defenses while he would investigate the enemy.

Everyone who listened to the order was astonished but they couldn't ask more clearly because the Alpha had quickly disappeared from their sight.

Lucas actually wanted to follow the Alpha but he realized that right now he was needed more in the manor.

It would be very dangerous if the enemy attacked the manor when both Alpha and Beta were not present.

Leland had now shifted into his wolf form and ran fast towards the royal villa. Right now, his heart was filled with anger and the desire to kill.

As he imagined the face of Nicholas Hanenbergh when he met him in the royal palace earlier, his mind drifted back to the moment when Nicholas kissed Sophie in the forest.

Leland's blood boil even more when he remembered how Nicholas Hanenbergh looked at Sophie at the party. The king's gaze clearly showed his attraction to Sophie even though he already had a fiancée.

At that moment, it felt like, Leland wanted to gouge out the man's eyes and bite his neck. However, the fear of losing Sophie was enough to debilitate him and render him speechless.

Leland didn't know what he would do when he met the other man. Maybe he would kill him even though he knew that the man was Sophie's first husband and the biological father of Jan and Luciel.

The Alpha could risk everything and lose everything, but he couldn't lose his family.

For once, he wanted to be selfish.

The silver blur of a lycan continued to flash through the darkness of the night and through the slender stalks of the tall weeds. The figure suddenly halted when a dark shadow came from ahead.

The silver moon was still shining in the sky, and the wind that blew made the weeds sway and rustle.

A squirrel that was eating fruit on a tree immediately entered its nest when it sensed danger.

At this moment, in the middle of the grassland, two wolves now stood opposite each other and glared at each other with hatred.

The shadow of an owl flapping its wings flashed under the moon.

Nicholas, who was on his way to Duke Romanov's manor to investigate the gossip about Duke Romanov doing the lycan trafficking, stopped suddenly when a huge white wolf blocked his way.

GROWLLL!!

Nicholas knew very well that the one before him was no ordinary wolf but a lycan just like him. Nicholas was confused that there was a lycan here because he thought that the only lycan in the entire territory of the Kingdom of Riga was him.

For a moment, Nicholas suspected that the wolf in front of him right now was one of Duke Romanov's captives.

However, for some reason, when he saw the white fur of the wolf and its blue-green eyes stare at him sharply, Nicholas felt very displeased. Immediately, the air was filled with animosity.
