Mated To Alpha Gregory

Happy Moments



Lilith’s POV;

I figured that since Ben had already seen me awake and wouldn’t keep it a secret, there was no need to be hidden anymore.

I stepped out of the room with Ben closely behind me.

“Your Highness!”

I glanced up to see one of Adams’ brothers. I couldn’t remember his name and wondered if he had come to the mansion because of what had happened to me.

“I’m glad you’re awake now,” he said, a small smile on his face, and I nodded.

“Thank you. Where is the King?” The voices sounded very distant and hushed.

“Oh, he is trying to solve the commotion out there. Why are you out now, when you’re supposed to be resting? Didn’t you just wake up?”

“She’s been pretty insistent and wouldn’t even listen to me,” Ben said, and I walked ahead of him, towards the mansion gate.

“Your Highness,” I called, as soon as I got to the gate. He was in a heated argument with an older man. Ronan was by his side, saying something, as though to calm the king.

He spun around immediately upon hearing my voice, a look of confusion on his face and when his eyes fell on the person behind me, he frowned and walked towards me, ignoring whatever the older man whom I suspected to be Maya’s father was saying.

He pulled me into his embrace and, even without seeing him, I figured that he would be glaring at Ben.

“Are you okay?” He murmured and I nodded.

“I’m fine, your highness. I’m very fine, but you have to let Maya go. She didn’t do anything and I don’t want you to be in distress because of me.”

“Why is he here? Did he urge you to come convince me? Was that what happened?”

I shook my head rapidly. “No, no! It was nothing like that. When I heard that you were here and that Maya was detained, I came out to clarify things.”

“I could hear each and every one’s voice as they came to check me,” I then began to explain each voice I had heard and how they had sounded, purposely omitting the voices I had heard having sex in the room, which I had initially thought to be his and Maya’s.

“It was my maid. The maid you assigned to me. So please, order the guards to let her go.”

Ronan and Maya’s father were looking at us now, and he grunted in satisfaction.

“Listen to the Queen, your Highness. She was the victim. If she says my daughter wasn’t the culprit, then it wasn’t!”

I held his hand and looked at his eyes. “I want us to start all over again. We had a rough start, but it doesn’t have to continue that way. I’ve decided to follow my heart and realized that it’s you I love. I don’t want to live in the past anymore.”

He looked like he was just honking about it and I let him as we locked gazes for a while, and then he cleared his throat.

“I didn’t change your maid. In fact, I thought that it was you, and you couldn’t stand being with me. That was why you told her to follow you everywhere. I couldn’t say anything in order to not make you uncomfortable.”

He turned to Ronan. “Let Maya out of the cell.”

Ronan walked towards the house and the man followed, his steps, depicting how desperate he was. Seeing him brought back memories of me and my father. He loved me like so.

I made a mental note to apologize properly on Adams’ behalf.

It was when Ben cleared his throat that I realized that he was still there. I spun around and was about to say something. But Adams beat me to it.

“You might think you’ve escaped this. But I promise you that you won’t escape what’s coming to you.”

I wanted to say something, but Ben chuckled, startling me. I had been expecting him to just deny it.

“Brother, these are all just threats. Empty ones. If you really want to come for me, make sure you come with proof,” with that, he turned around and walked away.

“I don’t trust him! I don’t want you hanging around with him.”

I said nothing, noting that he was probably just caring about me.

He held my shoulder and walked me back to the house and into my room.

“You need to rest.” He tried to get me to lay down, but I sat up.

“Where is Cara?”

“Was it her voice you heard?”

I shook my head. Cara was the only other person in this mansion that I had taken a liking to, and I wanted to know where she was in order to reinstate her back.

“Nah, that was Julia. I should’ve suspected it. She was just too…nosy and everywhere.”RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

He was smiling and I frowned. “Is something funny?”

“This is the longest conversation we’ve ever had. I hope it doesn’t become the last.”

“It won’t. And I’m sorry for everything. I couldn’t just die without being with my husband.”

I paused and then continued. Although I wanted to keep it from him, since this was a fresh start for me, there was no point in keeping any secrets.

“And I’m sorry for ever suspecting you.”

He shook his head. “It’s not your fault. Given all that has happened to you, it’s natural for you to doubt everyone’s intention.”

For some reason, I felt that he was holding back some words. He must have thought that if I suspected everyone, then why didn’t I suspect Ben?

“But there is really nothing between you and Maya, right?”

He furrowed his brows. “Maya?” His eyes widened as realization dawned on him. “You think I’m…with Maya?”

“I found a letter and I found some of your behavior suspicious. But now that I think about it, it was probably planted.”

He brought me up, so my line of vision was leveled with his. He held my cheeks with his palms, wanting me to look into his glistening blue eyes.

“Lilith, listen to me. I love you and only you, and I want you to know that nothing will ever come between us, nothing!”

As our gazes locked, it felt as though I was pushed into a strange new world in which only two of us existed.

I leaned in slowly, closing my eyes and bridging the distance between us. I made to kiss his lips, and he kissed me back, it was gentle and tender and passionate. His mouth was hot against mine, his tongue stroking, delving and teasing.

Just then, the door opened immediately and we pulled apart immediately. I heard him mutter a string of curses as he walked to the door to check who it was.
