Dark Wolf

Chapter 44 🐺

Mitsuki sits in a small castle room anxiously waiting for her husband and her closest advisor, Aizawa.

Right after the competitions she called for them both to speak with them about what she was confronted with by King Enji.

Her expression is tight and serious, her intense brow furrowed in thought as she taps her foot in anxious anticipation for this impromptu meeting.

The door to the room suddenly opens drawing her attention to the two males she's been waiting for.

She stands and begins to speak before they can utter a word.

" Close the door and make sure we are not interrupted."

The two exchange glances, the light expression they had when they entered falling completely as uncertainty takes over.

" Mitsuki, my dear, what has you so troubled?", the King asks as he takes a seat and waits.

She paces nervously as she begins to explain.

" I received a very upsetting proposal from Enji today at the competitions. One that involves Izuku."

Aizawa raises a brow as he leans against the large castle window, his arms folded against his chest as raven eyes question the information given.

" What did he say?", the battle trainer asks.

She sighs, one arm around her torso as she recalls the conversation that is still making her stomach churn.

" He made some comments about his son taking a liking to Izuku and that he had heard that he wasn't of Royal descent. He said that was a shame but that things could be done to remedy a situation like that and that he would be willing to pay a large sum of money and make arrangements to take Izuku off our hands for his own son."

Masaru rises to his feet quickly, anger in his normally calm brown eyes.

" Are you telling me that he offered to purchase Izuku?! Another human?! Our son's beloved mate?! He actually said those words to you, in our Kingdom?!"
