BETROTHED TO THE ALPHA

I was dumbfounded by his reply, he sounded really serious, why would he want me when he knows that I am married?.

“I’m afraid you can’t have me because I am engaged as you know already” I said raising my brows at him, his lips curved into a mischievous smile, what was amusing about what I said?.

“Young lady do you think I care?, I want you because you’re Archer’s best wife and I will do anything possible to take away whatever or whoever he loves” he said sounding harsh and authoritative.

If king Archer likes me more than his other wives then I don’t know about that because he doesn’t treat me nicely one bit, he maltreats me at any little opportunity he gets then how could he possibly be liking me more?, What is King Theo saying?, Even if it’s true how did he know?.

“See Pearl, I know that Archer doesn’t treat you nicely and to be honest you deserve a better partner than archer, Break the vows you made with archer and marry me and I promise to make you my only queen, you know that I am yet to marry right?, Being my wife puts you in less dangers and trouble so marry me let’s create an empire together” He babbled disgusting words to my ears.

Yeah indeed I deserve a better partner and that better partner can’t be King Theodore, King Theodore is ruthless just as Archer is and even if he turns out better that Archer I would still choose Archer to him, I have studied Archer’s lifestyle and don’t find his toutures all hurting again, I was blending in quite fast.

“See Pearl, Archer doesn’t know your worth and that’s exactly why he treats you like trash, marry me and lemme let me take you into my paradise” he said piercing his eyes into me as if he was reading my mind.

He sounded weird trying to be nice, I can’t fall for his sweet talks because I already know that he has bad motives behind it all.

“Sorry to say King Theo, but I really can’t marry, I am okay with my husband” I replied staring down scared of his next reaction.

“Was trying to make things easier but you seem to like things the hard way, there is no problem loving your husband dear pearl but the issue is how long you will keep on see him because soon he will be… DEAD!” He said stressing the dead in a dangerous manner which got me scared of how possible it is, they are enemies and any day King Theo comes for revenge their will be lots of damages in the kingdoms, people will definitely die.

King Archer paced round the room in anger and impatience, he was worried about pearl as she was with his enemy, he couldn’t imagine having another man sleeping with that particular woman, she Is worth a lot to him.

She already knew Theodore’s plan and he wouldn’t sit and watch it happen, he definitely cheated and archer knows that quite alright.

“Are they not still out!” Archer yelled angrily at the guard who walked in with an uneasy facial expression, this was the third time of him checking and not getting a positive result.

He knows that king archer would definitely yell, king archer decided not to pick a lady because he wasn’t feeling alright with the woman Theodore picked, he knew that she is his wife by the few features he saw, he just wanted to see when they will finally come out.

“I am sorry my king but they are not out yet” the guard said staring at the ground as if he lost his mind to it.

King Archer angrily kicked the table off, that wasn’t the response he needed, he needed a positive response, he couldn’t wait for pearl to come out so that he could ask her all the pending questions in his mind.

He needed to know if she felt good, if she prefers Theo to him, Ask her why she agreed to sleep with another man and why they wasted much time together.

Why would he ask that at the first place?, It isn’t her fault, it’s a normal thing that every king knew and respects, why was he even worried?, He isn’t supposed to care about her having a thousand mens p€nis in her vagina, they aren’t married out of love anyways.

Pearl came out of the room sweating real bad, King Theodore had said lots of scary things to her and that got her scared a whole lot because soon her husband will be dead and maybe she will also be dead or a slave.

She walked down the hallway as her legs trembled making her miss her steps, those thoughts couldn’t leave her mind, she pulled off her mask in other to get proper air.

“My queen” She turned to see a guard that she could recognize quite well that he is from Guham.

“King Archer wants to see you” he added as Pearl walked towards the guard and entered the room.

The king was standing with his back facing her, she could see how angry King Archer was by his tightened fist, she wondered what the problem might be, she knew that she hasn’t done anything to offend him so the anger can’t possibly be for her.

He turned immediately as if he sensed her as he pierced his fury hazel eyes into her soul, she was starting to get scared by his look but she stood strong, she didn’t want to be tagged weak because she was never a weakler.

“Leave us” he said in that very cold voice that was trembly and scary, the door banged close now leaving the both of them alone together.

“How was sex with Theodore?” He asked as Pearl smirked by the sound of the question, was that why he was acting up?, She didn’t even know how to reply that “Did he treat you better than I treat you?, Was he better in bed than me?, Do you find him more attractive than me?” A million questions and she didn’t know the one to answer “I can see from your silence that you’re liking him already and because of that we are leaving this evening, I married you for myself and not for another man… Slut!” He sounded so angry and mean more than usual, and the way he said the Slut shows how disgusted he was.

“We didn’t have sex” She simply said now looking into his eyes, why was he so bothered about her having sex with King Theodore as if he didn’t know that it’s a normal ritual… Maybe it’s because they are enemies.

He scoffed and went over to a couch and sat on it, he obviously doesn’t believe what she said.

“Do you think I am dumb enough to believe that lie!?, If he really didn’t fvck you then why did you waste much time in there with him?” He asked as she signed, should she started detailing everything to him?.

“King Theodore has bad…” She tried saying as he cut her short.

“Shhhh… Keep your lies to yourself, guards!!” He called as the guard hurried in and bowed.

“Get the horses and chariot ready we are leaving, where are my wives?, Call them out immediately” he said in a very loud angry voice.

Pearl wondered why he was over reacting, he didn’t talk about his other wives and the men they have slept with but he was just too focused on hers, he is always acting different towards her and she didn’t like that.

“My king, the queens still have their costumes on and they can’t wear it to Guham as it was distributed by King Theo”

Expecially the one pearl had on, it can’t be worn out plus it was given directly by King Theo, King Archer totally forgot about the costume out of too much anger.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Yeah they should change back into their outfits immediately, get pearls dress from the maid that dressed her, she isn’t leaving my presence” he said coldly as pearl gazed at him with surprise as to why he was annoyingly angry.

The chariot was ready same with the horses as King Archer and his wives came out, king archer still holding tightly at Pearl.

Zinnia saw the closeness and that got her pissed as she decided to get close to King Archer and hold him also.

She held king archer’s arms as they walked together towards the chariot.

“My king will I be sitting with you this time?” Zinnia asked as king archer turned to her knowing the kinda woman she is and knowing that she was acting out of jealousy shaked his head.

“I will be sitting with pearl, maybe next time you will sit with me” he simply said as she frowned and went over to the next chariot, she felt like Pearl was slowly taking her position as the head Queen and she wasn’t happy about that but she was happy about one thing.

“Well I am totally not a loser” she said in her heart as the chariot started moving.

Pearl on the other chariot alone with the king, felt really unsafe with millions of thoughts running through her mind, what if they just attack them on their way, they will definitely not be able to fight much because they came with a few guards.

She suddenly felt like turning, she obeyed her mind and turned to see King Theo watching them from the balcony, having that dangerous smile curved on his lips.

Danger calls.
