Chapter 4


    The Alpha King’s im chapter 4 by desirenovel


    Aero


    The Kingdom of Phanteon boasted a vast and grandnd. Naturally, I would ce watchtowers in


    every boundary to ensure the safety of my people. In addition, I ordered guards to make rounds every


    hour day and night. The realms have had nothing but peace ever since it was created, but it pays to be


    vignt sometimes.


    My men were doing well with their duties, but a king like me preferred to check thends from time to


    time, be outside the castle and see if everything was in order.


    Evenings were my best times to shift into my werewolf form. I’d run all over the kingdom, sometimes


    not stopping for hours until dawn hits the horizon. It was my way of keeping up with my form and


    stamina. I found running exhrating and I found it a good way to de-stress from the dramas of my


    court.


    Like for example, in this very night where I just found out my crown was under threat.


    My father was known to use underhanded means in getting what he wants. I never expected he’d use it


    on me. When Elijah told me about the decree, I immediately called the Council, ordered them to


    eradicate it, but unfortunately for me, they refused, saying my father’s words were absolute,


    nonnegotiable, and executory.


    I had to control myself not to deliver all of them six feet under. I’m now the Alpha. I’m now the king. I


    was supposed to have full control over my subjects but it seemed my father made it sure I couldn’t


    worm my way out of this problem.


    The hell.


    Running around my kingdom sessfully decreased my anger of the night’s unfortunate events. I had


    calmed down, but still, the thought of having to take a woman to be my queen still lingered inside my


    head. As to how I’d do it, I had no idea yet, but I’d be sure to use underhanded means to fulfill the


    decree.


    An eye for an eye. A tooth for a tooth. It’s time to use my father’s teachings against him.


    When the early morning sun hit my metallic ck fur, it was my cue to return, but instead of going back


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    directly to the castle, I went to my manor that was located in a nearbyke, northeast of my kingdom.


    Made with the finest stones in thend, my father gifted this abode to me when I sessfully first


    shifted at the age of twelve.


    This manor had since be my ce of sanctum. The only ce free of worries, ministers, and


    women. Mostly especially them.


    I was looking forward to a peaceful bath inside my bathroom; however, exactly the moment I stepped


    inside the entrance of the building, I sensed a presence. Someone was inside and it was giving out a


    scent that was both enticing and poisonous to my nose.


    I was in a guarded mode immediately.


    Slowly, I traced where the scent wasing from and it led me to my chamber. The intruder had the


    gall to actually trespass my most sacred space.


    But instead of frowning more, I grinned, looking forward to ripping this intruder’s head off with my bare


    hands.


    As I entered my bedroom, the scent grew stronger and stronger. I was torn between gagging and


    relishing it. I was certainly almost tempted to do thetter and that made me angry all the more. This


    intruder could be using magic in order to get to me.


    Once inside, I looked around but there was none in my chamber. No sign of any soul at all, both living


    or dead, or otherwise.


    It was only when I opened the double doors of the bathroom when the scent really did hit me inrge


    volumes. I growled in displeasure.


    Maybe it was the oils used that threw me off earlier that’s why I hadn’t really realized who it was


    immediately, but now, as I stood in front of a very naked woman using my pool, I knew for a certain who


    she was.


    The first thought that crossed my mind that moment was, ‘I’m going to wring Elijah’s head for this.’


    The woman was sittingfortably on a partly submerged section of the pool, but I could see clearly


    she was butt naked like I was whenever I shift back to my human form. I was certainly naked earlier


    too, but all thanks to witch magic, werewolves, and lycans alike didn’t need to worry about procuring a


    dress post shift. Now, I was properly garbed in my casual outfit of a white tunic and loose trousers; a


    perfect look to interrogate this woman again.


    The way her back curved and the way it looked wless and pristinely white against the sun’s rays, it


    tempted my eyes to ogle instead of looking away. I clenched my hands, feeling disappointed with my


    idiotic show of weakness. She was just showing a lovely, feminine back. No big deal. But I hated how I


    couldn’t keep my eyes off of it.


    I continued to look on, still deliberating on how to interrupt her, but then out of the blue, she stopped


    drying her hair and nced up.


    Our eyes met; hers instantly showed surprise while mine, seesawing between anger and amusement.


    “Shit!” she cried out before she jumped into the water.


    I neared the pool, chose to stand directly above the sloping steps to block her exit, and then waited for


    her to resurface.


    After a minute, she did, but she was on the other side of the pool away from my reach.


    “Here I thought I still had time to take a bath before your arrival. I guess I was wrong,” she stated, tly


    giving me a disappointed look. Her face was to me, but her body was pressed up against the pool tile


    as if trying to shield her nakedness from my view.


    Huh, as if I wanted to look at those insignificant pieces of reproductive organs.


    I cocked a brow and puffed my chest, feeling proud of myself. “I wouldn’t argue with that. Unfortunately


    for you, I’m a fast runner.”


    “You’re not surprised with my presence here,” she pointed out.


    I crouched down the floor and dipped a finger on the water, testing its temperature. It was oddly warm


    and inviting. As if the stream that sourced my pool’s water approved of this woman’s bathing activities.


    “I haven’t yet fully grasped as to why you magically ended up here instead of the dungeon, and with a


    He’ll get what’s due to him and as for you, well, I’ll decideter once you step out of my pool. You see, I


    just came from a good run and I’m feeling dirty and tired. I’m yet to take a bath and peacefully enjoy my


    water.”


    She tipped her chin up, picking up the hint I gave her. I’m not fond of sharing my possessions, my


    water included, so that means she’s absolutely not weed here.


    “Then, would it be too much for His Highness to leave?” she stated and then pointed her eyes down the


    water. “I’d appreciate if you’d give me a private time to…wear decent clothes.”


    “No,” I answered tly, a tick on my jaw appearing. “I’m the king. This is my manor. You don’t get to


    order me what to do.”


    “I heard you hate women, Your Majesty.”


    “Correct.”


    “Then, I presume you also hate watching them fully naked right?”


    “Of course.”


    For a millisecond, I almost hesitated to answer. The vision of her naked back earlier popped inside my


    head. I didn’t want to admit it to myself that my eyes enjoyed it. Damn sense organs. They are traitors.


    “Then it’s a win-win solution,” she continued. “You leave. I get to wear my clothes privately. You get to


    bathe in your pool.”


    She had the audacity to negotiate with me. My eyes turned to slits and I stood up.


    “How about this? You leave now. I bathe. I don’t care a thing whatever you unt with that ghastly body


    of yours.”


    Her face cringed for a moment. “Prince Elijah warned me about your colorful words.”


    “Good. That means I don’t need to sugarcoat everything I say to you. Now, are you going to leave or


    not? You’re wasting my time, woman. I’m not a patient man.”


    Her brows knotted, showing that she was under stress. I couldn’t care less if that was the case. It was


    her fault she decided to bathe in my pool in the very beginning.


    “I’m going to stay here until you leave,” she finally stated, lifting her chin again and giving me a serious


    gaze. “I’m not a voyeur, Your High—ness, and I’m certainly not the kind of woman who struts her tits


    and genitals in public.”


    Quite a problematic woman as expected.


    Clenching my teeth, I took in a deep breath so as to control my anger. If she didn’t want to leave my


    pool then so be it.


    “Not my problem then,” I said and then I started stripping.


    “Wha…what are you doing?” she asked, suddenly her voice shaky. Was it because of fear or


    awkwardness, I cared less. Let her feel it as a form of my punishment.


    I dropped my tunic on the floor and continued unbuckling my belt whilst giving her a sharp re.


    “Taking my well-deserved bath of course.”


    When I pulled down my trousers, she immediately turned her head away. From a fair skinplexion,


    her face turned red.


    This was a first.


    Normally, whenever my female subjects see me, they usually drop their heads low with their faces


    white as chalk. This would be my first time seeing a woman responding differently at the sight of me.


    Well, this was also the first stripping myself naked in front of a woman. Never in my life had I expected I


    would do such, but I didn’t have a choice. I couldn’t let a woman win. I couldn’t let her win.
