The King's Wife Is The Alpha's Mate

Nicholas gave the white wolf a look that was no less sharp. Both lycans stared at each other to size up and intimidate the opponent.

Grrrrrr….

Both Nicholas and Leland let out a roar. Nicholas was taken aback when the figure of the white wolf he watched without blinking suddenly disappeared from sight and, within a split second, the white wolf appeared in front of Nicholas' face with glowing blue eyes.

Nicholas' body was thrown backward. He tumbled and was knocked back through the weeds ten meters away as soon as his body received a blow.

Nicholas didn't understand what the white wolf wanted to do to him until he was thrown.

Pain ran through Nicholas' bones, but before he could stand up, Leland had already run back toward him and jumped high to pounce on Nicholas' neck. The king quickly rolled to the right, got up, and immediately ran. Leland instantly gave chase.

The two wolves sped up and broke through the stalks of the weeds that towered over the vast ground.

"What's with him?" Amid his fast pace, Nicholas wondered in his mind.

What was the white wolf's problem with him? Nicholas felt an intense killing intent in every attack the white wolf threw at him as he dodged and narrowly avoided each one of them.

Nicholas continued to run, but he stopped when a shadow under the moonlight hit him.

He looked up, and his eyes widened when he saw the white wolf charge towards him with claws ready to strike.

Fortunately, Nicholas had good reflexes. He quickly slammed his body to the side just before the white wolf's claws hit his body and ended up hitting a large boulder behind him.

Instantly the stone shattered into pieces and bounced in all directions.

The incident was enough to spur Nicholas' adrenaline. Imagine if he had been too late to dodge by a second? He might have ended up like that rock.

Leland turned to face Nicholas. The hatred in his eyes seemed to never subside. "You run like a mouse."

A slight surprise was seen in Nicholas' eyes as he thought he heard the white wolf speak to him. But while he was still confused, Leland attacked him again. This time, Nicholas had to fight back as a fight was inevitable.

They pounced on each other and took turns dropping and rolling among the weeds.

Grrrr...

Grrrr...

Their roars scared the small animals around the place.

When Leland attacked Nicholas, Leland pictured Sophie, Luciel, and Jan.

'If I kill him tonight, what will you guys think? I don't know how you would react if you found out… and what you would think of me. The only thing I know right now is that I'm so afraid of losing you all.'

Leland increased the tempo of his attack and showed his superiority over Nicholas.

Roarr...

Nicholas roared in pain as Leland's sharp claws hit his back. Immediately, the blood gradually came out and dripped on the green grass.

The attack made Nicholas spontaneously turn to counterattack. However, Leland very quickly aimed his claws and slashed at Nicholas' chest.

Blood gushed out from the open wound, along came a terrible stinging sensation. But there was no time to lament about it as Nicholas had to move quickly to evade and counter Leland's brutal attacks.

Grrr...

Grrr...

The two wolves wrestled and aimed their claws and fangs to injure each other's bodies. Wound after wound opened, and blood splattered on the grass and weeds that had flattened from their fight.

This continued until Nicholas' body was thrown and ended up hitting a tree. A second later, Nicholas' body collapsed together with a tree behind him.

Grrr...

Leland jumped and landed three meters in front of Nicholas, then started to slowly step forward while he made an intimidating growl.

Meanwhile, Nicholas got up on shaky legs. His dark fur had turned darker from being covered and soaked in blood.

Leland also received a wound, and his snow-white fur was decorated with blood. But the wound Leland received was not as terrible as the wounds received by Nicholas.

An unpleasant stinging sensation came from every open wound on Nicholas' body. But even so, he tried to stand up. He didn't want to die like a fool in that place. Not now and not as a lycan.

Now Nicholas had managed to straighten his body, and at the same time, Leland jumped to pounce again. But at that crucial moment, some images of fragments of past memories flashed through Nicholas' mind.

The images showed Nicholas as himself being a lycan, and he reflexively swung his claws just before Leland pounced on him. After which, Nicholas jumped back to put some distance.

Blood gradually dripped from the wound across Leland's face. For a moment, Leland held his wound and stared at the blood stuck to his hand.

Several thin clouds seemed to cover the moon and made the atmosphere in the grasslands darker than before.

At this moment, Leland and Nicholas once again stood opposite each other and stared intently at their enemy. A gust of wind rattled their blood-stained fur until five seconds later, they raced against each other and fought at a speed the eye could not follow.

All that could be seen were white shadows and dark shadows that struck at each other, overlapping and crashing.

The rats that had previously been out to look for food, ran back into their burrows as the sound of a wolf's howl fighting resounded throughout the meadow.

Meanwhile, Noel and his team, who had recently left the villa and were on their way back to the royal palace, stopped when they heard loud roars and a commotion coming from the grassy fields behind the shady trees that flanked the road.

"This sound and presence, Chief...." One of Noel's subordinates looked at Noel with a look that wanted to confirm the situation. Noel immediately nodded.

After years of working as a lycan hunter, Noel and his subordinates could immediately tell that the creatures fighting at that three o'clock were lycans just by listening to the sound and feeling their aura.

For a moment, Noel sighed deeply. There were suspicions he had about Nicholas, but he never quite managed to confirm them.

The last five years where Noel became a steadfast friend and ally of Nicholas made him feel that the interests of the king were at the right place. However, for now, there was nothing for him to do but simply abide by his duties.

Noel then nodded silently. He said,  "All of you prepare, we will catch the monsters."

From Missrealitybites:

It's day 5 of self-isolation, I am feeling much better (I slept most days) and my family seems to be doing okay. I hope I can resume publishing all my pending works (The Cursed Prince & The Alchemists) and maybe give a mass release for "The King's Wife Is The Alpha's Mate" next week.

I already said I will publish a mass release IF THIS BOOK won the werewolf contest. So, your support definitely will help a lot. Vote, comment, and reviews are much much much appreciated.

Not sure when Web will announce the winning entries though. They are still busy with a program in Singapore (another writing contest special for Singaporeans) and the award event for WSA that just ended today.

So, hopefully, they will announce it soon (the latest is by end of Feb).

Anyway... if you are my first-time reader and enjoy this book a lot, and now feel sad because you have read the last available chapter and now have to wait for the next updates, I can suggest you read my other books. I do have 6 others, and 1 is actually free. ALL OF THEM ARE COMPLETED, no need to wait for new chapters to enjoy the story.

They are ranging from historical to modern and future, a prince who cannot touch women and is dying for an heir, immortal womanizer CEO who was never in love and finally got his karma, a princess from another planet with three doting husbands, a king who was cursed with immortality and had to wait to meet his wife again after 15 centuries, etc.

To give you an idea, I have compiled the stats in the comment for each book. Which book to start first, how likely you will cry reading them, how likely you will laugh, how much you will pull your hair, how doting the husbands in that book would be, etc etc.

To everyone who has read all my books, feel free to add your comment if you think the stats are accurate or not.
