The King's Wife Is The Alpha's Mate-Chapter 53 The Angry Alpha

Leland found himself at Hauntingen at last after a day of non-stop travel. Compared to his pack members, he was able to get here faster than them. In addition to him being faster and stronger, he also pushed himself to the limit.

After the arduous travel, every muscle in his body grew a bit weary. What took about a week of journey via a carriage and horses were finished by Leland in just a day and even as a lycan and an Alpha, he paid dearly for it.

However, he didn't stop moving at all. He really wanted to see her.

It's been such an awfully long time…

As he saw the familiar sight of Blackwoods forest, a feeling of nostalgia engulfed him. His tribesmen thought he was a cold and unhappy man. That was not entirely true.

He was happy once. The years he spent with the Hansleys were the happiest time of his life. Perhaps, the only one.

Strength coursed through his limbs and he started making plans. How would he separate the rogue alpha from Sophie? A challenge to the death perhaps. Leland wasn't above assassination if it made his job easier.

Anything to rid Sophie of that rogue.

The Alpha passed by his old cave that he used when he left the Hansleys' home and somehow, even there he could find the scent of both Sophie and this rogue wolf. His blood boiled as he rushed back to her hut.

Leland wished that he didn't come here at this time.

When he arrived, he saw Nicholas walk with Sophie from the forest with baskets in their hands, filled with berries and vegetables. Leland immediately recognized Sophie from her unique hair and how much she looked a lot like her mother.

Gosh… she was so beautiful now that she was a grown woman.

For a moment, Leland stood in awe.

"Nick, I can carry this," Sophie tried to steal one of the baskets filled with berries and vegetables from her husband. "Please let me help you. I can also manage, you know?"

"Nonsense, let me do it," Nicholas told her with a chuckle. "I can handle all of these on my own. You're so grubby from harvesting the crops and there are even leaves in your hair plus some dirt on your cheek. I'm amazed."

Sophie threw him a dirty look and snorted. She snatched one of the baskets from him and then bumped her hip against him. "What? Do you think I look terrible? Do you regret marrying me instead of marrying a beautiful and gentle noble lady?"

Nicholas looked down at Sophie and kissed her lips and then drew back to give her a winsome grin. "Not at all. Have I ever told you that leaves in your hair make you look so alluring?"

"Haha, and does the dirt on my face turn you on?" Sophie joked but her face was a little red.

Nicholas' lips twitched into a smirk. "And what if I tell you, yes?"

Sophie gave him a look. "You're an absolute pervert. You're lucky I love this side of you too."

"And I love you too." Nicholas grinned uncontrollably. "Wifey."

Being married was awesome, he thought. He loved this woman very much and every day he spent with her was better than before. He couldn't wait to reveal his true identity and bring her to the capital to meet his family.

Nicholas remembered Sophie had never seen big cities before. Her whole life revolved around Hauntingen and Hastings only. He knew she would love the capital from the way she told him about her cousins's trip there where they left her behind.

[Well... Sophie, just you wait. I will show the world to you. That is a promise.]

Sophie batted her eyes at Nicolas' love confession. Saying 'I love yous' had become so natural for them now.

She poked his chiseled chest with one finger and said playfully. "I love you more…"

Nicholas shook his head and smiled more broadly. He caught her finger and pulled her closer to him, and whispered with a husky voice, "No… I love you more."

Sophie giggled and escaped from his arms, to enter their hut. Nicholas quickly chased her playfully.

Leland caught the sight of Sophie and Nicholas entering the hut. There was a look of love and also a hint of lust in both of their faces and, before Leland knew it, the door quickly shut behind them.

Thud.

Leland didn't even need to use his imagination to guess what was happening inside the modest hut. With his superior hearing, the sound of the baskets dropping followed by the sound of kisses and soft moans came rang in his ears like a loud bell.

The sound of rustling of clothes and them being thrown into the floor was also detected by him. Sophie let out a squeal of delight and there were some loud footsteps. Perhaps she was being chased into the bed but she didn't sound unhappy at all.

Leland was rooted to the spot, like an ice statue, and his blood suddenly ran cold. f𝔯ℯe𝓌ℯ𝐛𝒏𝐨ѵel.c𝚘𝐦

He just realized that he was too late.

Far too late.

One of his eyes twitched and then he closed both of them.

After the journey he had taken and everything he went through just to see Sophie again, Leland still failed to accomplish the thing that he wanted. The Alpha clenched his fist and threw a punch into the nearest tree.

BRAGH!

Even in his human form, he delivered a devastating blow.

A loud crack erupted like thunder blasting. The tree trunk split and finally crashed down into the ground beside the hut.

It did nothing to soothe the Alpha's wrath and yet he knew that it gave away his position. A loud huff escaped his lips and he threw one last look at the hut and the sound of alarm coming from the inside.
