Pink pov***

I was glaring softly at the king without saying any other word. I loved him from the first sight. But why did he say that I’m his mate?! Does that mean he really accepted me?! But I looked so poor and stained with clothes filled with mud and sweat.

I didn’t even know his name yet, because working day and night at the castle made me away from werewolves’ normal lives. I was worst in my case, I didn’t continue my studies and didn’t get a practice so according to the king I was nothing at all ‘illiterate Luna’

My mind didn’t get the softness in the king's eyes, as if he was finally happy because he found me.

But why! He was the most powerful Alpha ever, he could reject me and find another one easily. Why me?

He pulled my hand and placed a soft kiss on my upper hand gently. I shivered a bit, but I didn’t hate his touch.

I blinked “my king, I’m so confused.”

He took off his expensive jacket and placed it on my shoulder “why my Luna?” the tender in tone made my heart flutter like a bat in the darkness. As if the sunrise early.

“I’m poor and dirty and —.” I was trying to explain with my broken tone feeling disgusted with myself.

He cupped my cheeks and looked deeply into my eyes as if he was reading my mind or my past. As if he was invading my soul by one of his powers “Pink? Right?” he asked and I nodded with a light blush.

“where is your house? Where do you live?” he asked.

And that made me feel irritable, what should I say to him? That I’m the adopted princess? Or that my real parents abandoned me years ago in the forest? Or that I was abused and forced to work as a maid!

I gulped nervously “do you want to hear the truth?” I asked him.

He smiled “sure, everything. I hate liars, remember that.”

I stepped back fiddling with my fingers nervously and taking a look around me. We were surrounded by his pack. Some of his guards, betas, and friends.

But u reclaimed myself and said what I should say, I didn’t want revenge from anyone. I just wanted to go away and start a new life that’s all. but what if he decided not to be his mate after hearing the full story.

He realized that I was spacing out for a while so he started to step forward towards me “where do you live Pink?”

I blurted out “in the royal castle.”

“good, then come with me. you don’t have to say anything. I will figure it out by myself. “he said confidently as if he already knows.

Once he grabbed my hand, I remembered that I just ran away from Derek and Garrett and they might say bad words about me. or maybe they might kill me in front of the Alpha king eyes.

I shook my head “no, I’m not going there.copy right hot novel pub
