Three

Reagan’s POV

“What the hell did you mean by “what if he didn't agree? In what way did I sound like I was giving him a choice?”

“Well, he can be very stubborn at times,” Dolphus sent a mind link back to me.

“I said to tell him that HIS DAUGHTER IS MY MATE AND HE SHOULD PREPARE FOR WEDDING,” I stressed out, so he can make sure that he also emphasized the words in whatever forms he wants to back to Limores.

Limores wouldn't dare disobey my order, I've never really had much encounter with him but I've seen him in most of the Alphas’ meetings and I knew that he wouldn't have a chest full of guts.

He wouldn't dare disobey my order.

“My Alpha, what would you like to eat?” I heard one of the maids ask me with her head bowed low.

“You can prepare anything, and also others that I want the interior and the exterior designs of the whole house changed before the end of this week. You can arrange as many people as you want to hasten up the process. Ask Amoux for any money you need.” I announced to the maid and stood up from the couch to go to my study room.

I think she was my maid though, I can’t really tell them apart. After compelling them the day Amoux brought them to the house I didn't have much interaction with them except to give orders.

When I got to the study my mind went back to the old witch words.

My mate is finally here, and she had been in the neighboring pack since eighteen years ago and I had no idea?

If I were to count the number of ladies I slept with from that time frame till now, I would lose count.

“Damn man, you need to see her gorgeous body,”

I recalled Dolphus's words a couple of minutes ago and instantly found myself imagining her gorgeous body.

Is she petite or thick? Is she fair or tanned?

I couldn't help my train of thought even though I know I wouldn't mind whatever form she takes. I wouldn’t mind if she's slim, thick, short, white or tanned.

I just want to find her, make love to her, and mark her as my mate. Then get rid of this strange illness.

I had to force myself to stop thinking about my new mate that I recently found, so as to concentrate on the log that Amoux left on my table because I knew they were pending issues. If not he would have kept it in the box.

After two hours of working, I listened to Dolphus sending a mind link to me.

“I already sent words to Alpha Limores and he said would give a reply tomorrow.”

“What did you mean by giving a reply tomorrow? Did you state in the letter that I need a reply from him?”

What I hated most is when my orders were bent or not fully carried out and Dolphus knew that.

“No, Reagan, I didn't but that was the reply I got from him.” Dolphus quickly sends back a mind link because he knows I could be unreasonable sometimes.

He was probably scared that I would ask him for an actual duel this time.

“I will not sit here and wait for his goddamn reply. Prepare at least five soldiers. We are going to the Crestmoon pack.”

“Right now?”

“Do you have a pup you are giving milk to? Get the soldier prepared and meet me outside before 20 minutes.” I snarled in his mind.

“Okay, My Alpha,” I heard Dolphus voice reply in a low voice but I was less concerned.

The longer my mate stays with her father unclaimed, the more hungry unmated male wolves like Dolphus will gawk at her.

And I’d rather go to hell than let other men ogle my mate.

After 30 minutes, Dolphus came into my chambers to report that they were ready for the journey.

I was already getting dressed when he arrived, so he waited a few minutes and we both went down stairs.

“Alpha King,” the five soldiers called out, bowing their heads in greeting immediately they noticed my presence.

I looked at them and also looked at the small packs in their hands.

“We are going to my mate’s pack, we can't go there empty handed or like uncultured male wolves.” I retorted and stared at Dolphus who was beside me.

“Prepare 10 Boxes of gold, five hundred yards of the fabrics sent by any of the packs for last year as tribute. Also another 10 boxes of gems, and stashed all that to a carriage and also prepared three more carriages for us to travel in.” I ordered.

“Are we not traveling in paws?” one of the soldiers asked curiously.

“No, we are not, because we won't stay long and I don't want us shapeshifting anywhere,”

“Understood, My Alpha,” he replied but Dolphus already went to make the preparation of what I just ordered him.

After some minutes he came back with Amoux and also the four carriages.

“Dolphus said you are leaving to bring the girl,” Amoux inquired, his brows screaming, “what's with the haste?”

“She's not ‘the girl’ she's your future Luna,” I couldn't help but point out to him.

They were so used to me having different girls that I'm afraid they wouldn't know how to treat my mate.

“Of course, she is,” Amoux quickly replied.

“Good, I will leave the pack in your hands. I should be back before next tomorrow with my Luna. Make sure appropriate measures are taken in regards to welcoming her,” I ordered as I entered a carriage with Dolphus and the five soldiers shared the remaining two carriages.

The road to Crest Moon was a busy one because Dolphus was in the same carriage as I am and if anyone knows him, they will know that he can't keep his mouth shut.

So, I brought out a chess game and decided to go some rounds with him, even when I knew that he wouldn't be able to win a single one.

Dolphus isn’t a big fan of duels or chess because he always loses to me.

After 2 hours of repeated failures on Dolphus' part, I decided to pity him.

“So what's her name?” I asked as I took his queen again.

“Her who?”

“Her, my mate, stupid ass, ” I replied and knocked his head heavily.

“Ouch!” He cried out as he rubbed his head gently, “Reagan! Stop hitting me! You know fully well how powerful a strike from you is, why are you bullying me,”

“Is that a bully? Better tell me her name right away before I show you what bullying is, ” I said as I stretched my legs to kick him out of the carriage.

Dolphus knew that if the kick should touch him, he would fly out and almost break his neck.

“Anika, that's her name, Anika, okay! There you go, my dear Alpha king, ” Dolphus replied fawning over me as he gently massaged my leg that was stretched out to kick him.
