Mated To Alpha Gregory

Lilith’s POV;

I woke up to a bright light streaming through the curtain. For a moment, my heart slammed hard against my chest as the bed felt unfamiliar.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

My eyes fluttered open and immediately, they met him. He was on the sofa, his eyes were closed and his lips parted slightly as he snored lightly. Even in his sleep, he looked handsome.

Suddenly, his eyes opened, just in time to see me staring at him. I made no attempt to look away and instead remained expressionless.

“How was your night, my queen?” A small smile was playing on his lips and I thought that perhaps, he had caught me looking at him.

“Fine.”

He was saying something that was muffled by a yawn as he stood up and stretched, walking out of the room.

“See you at breakfast, cupcake.”

I released a breath that I didn’t know I was holding.

There was a sudden knock on the door and I trudged slowly to open it, seeing Cara and a few other maids, I was reminded of what she had said the day before about my maids being changed.

“Good morning, Your Highness,” they all bowed and I nodded.

“This is Primrose—” She was talking, but I zoned out and just glanced at them blankly, my eyes vacant. It wasn’t until I heard a familiar name that I snapped out of my daze.

“–Julia.”

I mentally berated myself for not listening earlier, but the all too familiar voice spoke and I glanced at her, suddenly remembering that I had seen her in the kitchen that day.

“I’ll be at your beck and call at all times, Your Highness,” she was smiling and it seemed so real that I’d think she really liked me if I hadn’t heard what I had heard the other day.

“Well, you can always call on me whenever you need me, Your Highness,” Cara said and bowed.

I glanced at her retreating figure and even Lexi whimpered. We had grown so accustomed to her that I hoped that these new twenty-something maids assigned to me were going to at least be like her. I knew that they were all Omega werewolves of lesser status and, hence, always given a very low position in the pack.

Apparently, Julia was my personal maid and she was even much more personal than I thought possible as she followed me to my room, offered to bathe and dress me even after I had refused, and later insisted on picking a dress for me as the new queen, to which I allowed.

I ended up wearing a deep-necked pale blue dress which brought out my curves.

She walked me to the dining table, where Adams was already waiting for me. He smiled as soon as he saw me as he stood up and brought out a chair for me to sit.

“Should we go on a honeymoon?”

I was taken aback. I never thought of that, but I was careful to not let my emotions betray me. I didn’t want to go on a honeymoon.

“I guess not,” he said after a while of my silence and we ate in silence.

I turned around as I had a feeling that I was being watched and to my surprise, I caught Julia’s eyes and she didn’t attempt to look away as she smiled widely upon meeting my gaze. She was a few distance away from us as she watched me, and I wondered if this was also Adams’ idea.

I wondered if he knew that this woman wanted his brother to take his throne from him.

Just then, a familiar face came into view, his eyes like always, glinting with mischief as he smirked.

“Brother! Sister in law!” He said as he plopped onto the seat beside me.

“What is the meaning of this?” Adams’ jaw clenched tightly and I could see his eyes blazing with fury as he glared at his brother.

“Common, Your Highness. I just wanted to have breakfast with my family.” He grabbed a bacon and munched it, humming as he did so, while Adams clenched his fist tightly as he glared at him.

“What? Aren’t you eating?” He was talking with his mouth full, so his voice came out a bit muffled. I said nothing and my expression remained neutral while I ate slowly.

“Oh! That reminds me, our Queen, are you still sick?”

I glanced at him with a raised brow and he shoved another piece of bacon into his mouth before he spoke.

“I mean, you seemed so-out of it yesterday. I wonder if it was because of the wedding. You didn’t seem at all like your mind was at the wedding–”

“Ben,” Adams growled and Ben shrugged.

“I was just asking a question because I was concerned. I know a good healer–”

I focused on my meal in front of me, but I could still feel Julia’s gaze on me, I said nothing as I watched the interaction between the brothers. It was obvious that Adams didn’t like him. I wondered if Julia was secretly wishing that they’d kill each other.

“Well, I’ll see you later my queen and I hope to catch up with you soon…” he sent me a wink and I averted my gaze, fixing my gaze instead on the intricate designs on the wall.

“You will do no such-,” his eyes landed on mine and he saw that I wasn’t eating anymore.

He stood up and went to my side, stretching out his hand which I took quickly as I stood up. I could feel Ben’s glare on us as we walked towards the room.

“Do you want to do anything today?” His voice was smooth and I wanted to tell him that I wanted to be with him all through the day, but instead, I shook my head in response.

“I was thinking-” he was still talking when I glanced at the familiar figure walking towards us.

“Your Highness,” he bowed as soon as he got to us.

“Ronan, what’s going on?”

He glanced at me and I understood immediately that whatever was going on was a secret that I wasn’t meant to hear. I however said nothing, until Adams spoke.

“I will see you later, my queen, there’s an urgent matter I have to take care of,” he said and I nodded and watched him walk away with his beta.

“Your Highness,” The familiar voice came from behind me, almost scaring me and I turned around, wondering if she had followed us.

“My Queen, a moment please,” the voice called from behind and I halted in my tracks. Ben!

I wondered if he was here to ‘help me’ after I had refused and Adams had told him off.

“A newlywed bride shouldn’t be by herself. And don’t tell me that you’re going to your room. You should have fun,” he was smiling as he said this and I wondered what kind of fun he was talking about.

“Come, walk with me to the garden,” he said, holding out his hand to me. For some reason, I thought it was wrong, but I still held it.

“You’ve been quiet and you look like you don’t care about anything in the world. Why? Is it because of what happened with your family?”

I said nothing and instead, took in the view of the garden while keeping my expression and emotions bottled.

“Why did you marry my brother? You both don’t seem to share any kind of love. Although, I think he loves you. Did he promise to help you get revenge on Alpha River and his family?”

“I love the Alpha king and I don’t want revenge on anyone,” as I said it, I remembered my father’s words, bringing back memories I had been trying to keep bottled up.

“Hmmm–that doesn’t sound at all like your behavior. You’re so–distant and-”

Just then, his phone rang and I thanked the goddess silently for the interruption.

He walked farther away from me as he took the call and I glanced around, feeling the need to leave, but not wanting to be impolite to him.

“Well, where were we?” He said as he took my hand. I was startled but regained my composure immediately and wondered how he had gotten here.

“Oh, yeah. I was asking why you married my brother.”

“He asked me to.”

He chuckled. “So you married him, because he asked you to marry him?”

“And I love him.”

“Int-”

Suddenly, my arms were yanked away from him and without turning around, I already knew who it was.

Adams.

His jaw was clenched tightly as he faced his brother.

“I don’t know your plan, but I want you to stay far away from my woman!”

“Chill, little Adams. I was just having a harmless conversation–”

The speed at which he turned and moved to Ben was alarming, the fury in his eyes, blazing. I had never seen someone as angry as he was.

“Don’t you dare call me that!”
