Mated To Alpha Gregory

Lilith’s POV.

I kept rolling on the bed, unable to put my mind at ease.

The time was almost nine pm, and Adam was not yet back. What were they discussing that was taking them so long to conclude?

I rose up slowly from the bed, and sat up on it, contemplating if I should check up on him or not.

“He’s not a kid, stop worrying already,” Lex scolded me. The treacherous animal was angry with me for reasons best known to her.

That was all she could do though, get angry. I was her master and she had to remain subject to me.

I stood up from the bed, taking one foot after another, carefully so as not to fall as it was dark, and I had put the fire off.

I looked at my hand where Shane had kissed me and remembered how I felt. I was terrified and thought I would pass out from the fear, but I didn’t.

He was a fine man who was probably in his forties, considering the age distance between him and Adams.

Yet he looked young, even younger than his brothers.

I sat down on the bed and decided to wait an hour more. If I hadn’t seen Adams, I would have to go check up on him.

That hour was the longest I had ever waited for. I tried to read a book, but could not concentrate. I tried to sing, but my voice sounded alien in my ears. I tried to sleep, but sleep avoided me like a deadly plague, which could make it lose its power. I tried to think of the beautiful things the universe had to offer, but my mind was thinking of Adams.

“Shet!” I cursed. “I can’t do this anymore.” I stood up, looked at the time and realized it was hardly ten minutes into the hour I timed myself, yet I was tired already.

I opened the door of my room and stared at the empty, dimly lit passage. There were no guards or maids around, so moving without being seen would be a tip of the iceberg.

I went back to bed and wore a pair of socks I found under the bed. It was dirty, with brown stains all over it, but I wore it anyway.

I couldn’t find any other and I didn’t want to go out barefoot. If I were to move out without being noticed, wearing footwear was out of it.

I looked around and sighted a small pocket knife on my dressing table. I strode towards it and picked it up, hiding it in my socks.

I knew the meeting wouldn’t be violent, but I kept the knife anyway, just in case I ran into unnecessary trouble.

Fully equipped, I moved out of the room. I moved as silently as a cat, treading cautiously on the tip of my toes.

I have heard of the room of the former Alpha, Adams’ father, and I’ve passed by it a few times, but I’ve never gotten the chance to go in there because it was always guarded.

“Please, let there be no guards,” I whispered, wishing from the bottom of my heart. I soon got to the bend which would lead to the room and hid behind the wall.

I peeked and heaved a sigh of relief as I noticed that there were no guards guarding the room. They must have probably sent them away since it was a private discussion.

I moved as fast as my toes could carry me, careful not to make a sound. The wooden door stood open a little, giving me a chance to see them inside.

Shane was beside the bed, standing as the other brothers, plus Ronan, circled him. They seemed to be involved in a fierce argument which was getting heated by the second.

“Never! Not in any way will I let him remain there,” Ben screamed. “If you are not interested, then that’s your problem, I will claim what is mine.”

He sounded extremely angry. I wondered what they were talking about.

“You will obey me, Ben. What do you gain by fighting your little brother? You are rich, you are influential in your own way. What else do you want?

“I want the throne!”This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

I sighted Adams, staring at the floor in the midst of all the argument going on between his two older brothers.

He must have noticed my presence as he turned back abruptly, staring at the door. But I was quick to dodge and hide.

After some time, I looked back and saw Ben, marching angrily towards the door.

All the blood in my body rushed down my legs. My eyes darted all over the place as I searched for where to hide.

I sighted a pillar some distance away and ran to it as fast as possible. I moved at a very high speed. Any human who tried to do so would either meet his face on the floor or break a leg.

Successfully behind the pillar, my heart beat raced to up to 60 miles per hour as I watched Ben leave the room, fuming and breathing heavily.

Sure he had gone some distance away, I tiptoed back into my room and rushed to bed, covering myself up with a blanket.

I didn’t even remove the socks on my feet, and they were beginning to itch. I stood up and took it out in haste, heart beating in anticipation of Adams’ return.

Having rested a bit, the unsteady beating of my heart calmed down. What exactly was being discussed in the room? What was Shane’s main purpose of visiting?

The door suddenly opened and Adams walked in. I pretended to sleep and turned to the side, avoiding his gaze.

I heard him groan and sigh as he removed his clothes. The door of the wardrobe creaked, and I guessed he took something out before closing it back.

He walked into the bathroom and came out after some minutes and got into bed beside me. I was disappointed. I expected him to kiss me on the lips or peck me on the forehead like he does, but he didn’t.

So I turned, and wrapped my hand around his body, feeling his warmth. He rubbed my hand softly and brought it up to his lips, kissing it.

However, my joy was short-lived as he took my hand away from his body and the next minute, he was snoring loudly.
