Chapter 27 ~ Freedom

I watched the blood that trickled off my skin and down the drain as I buried myself underwater.

I was fully emerged, dunking my head and all and running the cloth across my skin to wipe myself clean of the blood that had dried there.

"Alpha King Leon."

My heart shuddered as I thought back to what was said and I sighed, leaning my head against the wall of the shower.

The Alpha King.

I was mates with the fucking king of werewolves.

Me?

The Alpha female who's not an Alpha? The girl with so much baggage she wasn't even sure why she hadn't killed herself yet?

Never would I have imagined my mate would be such a powerful person. I couldn't help the concerns and doubts that festered as I thought about what my life would be going back with him.

Would that make me the Queen Luna?

I grimaced at that.

I spent another ten minutes in the shower before I was certain that my skin was wiped clean.

Then I stepped out and looked at the giant tee I was offered with pursed lips. I'd have preferred wearing Nadia's clothes that I had bought for her but Leon insisted.

I dried my skin and wrapped the towel around my hair, then I threw the shirt over my head and watched as it fell to mid thigh like a dress.

I walked out of the bathroom and into the living room, pausing at the entrance to observe the man before me as he sat in the couch, his back facing me with a laptop in his lap.

Now that I wasn't so caught up in so much fear and anxiety like the last time we met, I finally got to observe the man the goddess chose for me.

He was tall, towering my five six frame with muscles lining his body in a way that screamed authority, dominance and strength.

His emerald eyes were just as brilliant as the lashes that framed them, from his pointed nose down to his full lips screamed handsome as they decorated his chiseled face.

The man was definitely a looker and I have looked. Most definitely.

I subconsciously reached a hand up to outline Zion's mark on my shoulder and felt my heart crumbling as I thought of what I was about to do.

It's got to be the matebond trying to keep us together.

It has to be...

"Are you going to sit down or continue to stare at me? I don't mind either option."

I got snapped out of my thoughts as he addressed me and took a deep breath, walking over to him and sitting down in the seat opposite him. I consciously pulled the shirt down to cover me more to no avail.

He glanced away from his laptop screen and over at me, giving my body a once over, his eyes alight with approval.

I cleared my throat and addressed my concerns, "I don't think this will work."

He raised an eyebrow and leaned back on the sofa, giving me his undivided attention.

"Oh? Talk to me. What do you mean?"

I bit my lip nervously, "I'm not Queen Luna material. I'm tainted and I'm already mated to another Alpha."

"The Rogue Alpha King," his voice was eerily calm when he said this and I couldn't tell if he was angry, jealous or bitter. It slightly unnerved me. "I don't recall ever getting any documents from that mutt asking for permission to create this pack of his."
