Mated To Alpha Gregory

Lilith’s POV

He kept pacing around like a man whose wife was in a labor room.

I tried to get to him with my eyes, I even coughed to see if I would get his attention but he didn’t bulge. Whatever it was that was bothering him was beyond the situation at hand.

“Your highness, I have conducted my tests and I must say, this is something I have never seen before in my forty years of working as a doctor. The queen is perfectly fine, she has no broken bones or bruises just like any normal person would, this must be a miracle.” The pack doctor kept staring at me like I would disappear into thin air if he took his eyes off me.

Adams nodded at the doctor’s words.

He looked at me, then the doctor with the corner of his eye, his mouth was twisted to the side and he tapped his fingers on his arm which was crossed over his chest.

I wanted to laugh at how amusing he looked but I didn’t dare do that, not with the pack doctor around.

He might be an amusing person but no one liked getting disrespected before their subjects, especially an Alpha of his status.

“You can take your leave now.” He ordered.

The pack doctor bowed slightly and began to pack his tools. “Goodbye my king, rest well my queen.”

“Thank you and have a good day,” I replied as he scurried out, leaving us to ourselves in the room.

Silence hung around the room like a transparent curtain, dividing us as he stood some steps away from me.

“I will kill that man who had the guts to lay his hands on my queen, I’ll make sure he rots in prison.

Did you see how violently he kept swinging his arms and his sword, what if he cut off your head?” He asked, staring at me, cutting through the silence.

He had this awkward look on his face that expressed his displeasure. That kind of look that comes when you eat something that looks delicious but tastes terrible. He had extended his hands before him like he was asking for alms, and his eyes were a little bit red.

I tried to surprise the laughter that bubbled inside me but it was quite stubborn and escaped as a light chuckle, making him look at me.

“I can’t believe you find this funny.” He crossed his arms over his chest again and pouted his lips like a baby whose toy was snatched from him.

“I’m fine Adams, you don’t need to get yourself all worked up.” I said, trying to assure him but he wouldn’t listen.

Back at the training ground, he had swooped me in his arms himself after my hands were crushed during the duel outside. I remembered the look on his face, it was as though he had seen a ghost.

“Get the pack doctor, now!” He screamed while moving me to our room at full speed.

Hardly had we moved four steps when he stopped again and faced the now quiet soldiers who stood terrified. “Stop this now and send that fighter to the dungeon, he’ll pay for daring to hurt my queen.”

He looked at the man I had spared with and shut him a hard glare, one which could make a person see his entire life flash before his eyes before death came to take up his soul.

I looked from the shivering fighter to him and sighed helplessly. It would take a lot of pleading to save him now as Adams was in a burst of rage.

Till we got to the room, he said no more words but his silence spoke volumes and I knew it was only a matter of time before he let all that was inside him out.

“Adams,” I called out to him, getting up from the bed I sat on. “You need to relax and calm down. Can’t you see, I am fine.” He stopped to look at me and I took it as an opportunity to express myself.

I shook my hands before him and even went ahead to carry a heavy metal box close to the door but he didn’t seem convinced.

“Sit!” He ordered, his voice colder than Ice.

I obeyed, moving to the bed without giving it much thought.

“Of all the things in the world that you could do , you chose to go out and spar with those soldiers, why?” He shot daggers at me with his gaze and I flinched where I sat.

“I didn’t know it was now a crime for me to engage in something a little bit physical, besides I was bored and…”

“And what Lilith? You are a queen for crying out loud, not some soldier or warrior. You have responsibilities and duties as a queen. What do you want people to say about this pack? What do you think I would have done if something more terrible had happened to you.”

His gaze softened as he stared at me. It seemed as though he was staring into my soul, I was enjoying the attention, and didn’t want it to end.

“I… I’m sorry.” I managed to say, short of words. I bent my back afterwards to avoid looking into his face, getting lost in my thoughts.

I always knew that he loved me but the way he reacted today when he saw me getting injured was on a whole new level.

If I were to be just like every other person, I would probably not be able to use my hands again. I suddenly realized I was immune to pain in the ring. If I got injured or broke a bone, I would heal really fast and it would be like nothing ever happened to me.

But of course, he didn’t know about this strange power and I wasn’t planning to tell him just yet till this happened.

“It still leaves me curious though…” he suddenly chipped in, jolting me out of my thoughts before resuming his march around the room.

“What is it that leaves you curious, my love?” I straightened up on the bed and focused on him.

“I’ve seen people get hit by smaller men and even in more similar ways just like you did. Now these people aren’t women or children, they were warriors, trained and skilled men. Yet, they didn’t survive those hits. Those that survived could no longer use the affected body part. Just how were you able to survive that?

“Uh… it was just luck I guess.” There was no way he would totally believe I was lucky but That was the only explanation which made sense at the moment.

Surprisingly, he sighed. “If you say so.”

“Don’t ever do something like that again Lilith, I was worried sick about you… please.”

“I won’t.”

He came forward and stood before me. I looked straight into his eyes and as if hypnotized, I couldn’t take mine off it.

Lexi began to swirl and dance and do crazy things inside me. Next thing I knew, my legs had developed a mind of their own as they stood up and brought my face closer to his.

His hands moved to the back of my waist and mine moved to the back of his neck.

“What is wrong with me?” I wanted to scream but the words got caught up in my lungs.

From the ticking of the clock to the whistling of the wind outside, every sound became quiet and all I could hear was the eating of our heart against our chests.

His eyes, his pointed nose and his juicy lips were all I saw as every other thing in the room became blurry, almost like they didn’t exist.

I wanted to look away but he brought his hand up to my face and returned it back to his. “Hey…” he called out, making my heart skip a beat, his voice deep and slow like.

“… look at me, just me.”

How it all became like this in less than a minute marveled me but I was too stunned to think or speak, I had gotten stuck in the moment and wouldn’t want to snap out of it just yet.

“The door,” I whispered. “It is not locked. What if someone…”

“No one would come in, Lilith, it’s just you and me,” he replied in the same thick and slow voice.

My skin shivered under his touch as he grazed his hands from my shoulder down to my elbow. My heart beat tripled its steps yet it struggled to move along with the time which seems to have left it behind.

He brought his lips close and was about to kiss me when I stopped him and turned away.

“I’m sorry, I can’t do this now.”

With that, I disengaged from his hold and walked to the bed. As I lay on the bed, I couldn’t get off the feeling that he was watching me. After a few minutes, he walked out of the room and shut the door behind him.
