Chapter 52
A man went into the left-wing of the palace and was a little lost. He desired to avoid the king at all costs prior to entering the palace. He is in excruciating pain in every limb of his body. He is in excruciating pain in every part of his body. There was a dull throb running through every part of his body. Since the ball was announced, he has been attempting to force a shift. His aim at the moment is to play as far away from the monarch as possible. He is 26 years old and has not shifted in his life. He has been ruling his pack with an iron fist, but no one is aware he is incapable of shifting. Not even his parents were aware of this. He would have to conceal his disgrace from the king for the next three days. Between the ages of 13 and 18, werewolves are reported to morph. He is fully aware that he will never shift, a fact that no one needs to be aware of. He is the Alpha who is most dreaded. However, no one is aware of his secret. His other abilities are what enable him to lead. He perched on the side of the bed, unsure of how he would evade the person who could see through him. Not to mention the fact that he had thoughts and emotions for the woman who was with the king. All he wants to know right now is if the king’s companion is his mate. He struggled to walk toward the bathroom due to the discomfort he had been experiencing. He cursed himself for attempting to impose a transition on himself. He stood naked in front of the mirror, his gaze fixed on himself. He was contemplating his chances against the king, as the monarch’s companion could be his mate. He laughed at the concept. He entered the shower. Showered, changed into sweatpants, and went straight to bed. He told himself that he would have to stare at the woman tomorrow to determine if she was truly his mate.

When the sunshine reached his face, Rex’s eyes wandered aimlessly open. While yawning, he massaged his eyes and rubbed them together. He smiled as he turned to Reina’s side. Juno was still sleeping soundly. While clutching Rex’s hand, restless from last night’s encounter with the mysterious man. Rex gently yanked his hand away from her clutches and rose to his feet. His gaze returned to the bed, as he couldn’t believe Juno was now completely his, and his alone. Rex closed the drapes after observing Juno stir in her sleep as a result of the sun’s rays landing on her face. He then gave one final glimpse of Juno as he entered the bathroom to shower.

As soon as I emerged from the shower, my Reina was still fast asleep. I went inside my closet and chose a suit. After studying myself in the floor-length mirror, I agreed with myself that black looked menacing on me. I slung my suit jacket over my shoulder and buttoned it up. After buttoning the few remaining buttons, I slipped on a pair of shoes that matched my dangerously black slacks and shirt. I returned to the mirror and double-checked that my hair was still in place. I added some hair cream and gel, and the king was sexy as fuck! I was as hot as fuck. I stepped out of the walk-in closet and pulled the door closed behind me without making any unnecessary noises as I made my way toward the nightstand. I grabbed up my phone and turned around to stare at Juno as I walked out of the room. I stood there watching her sleep peacefully. I locked my gaze on her face for a while longer before turning around and yanking on the doorknob, exiting the room. I mind-linked Marcus to ascertain his whereabouts, and he informed me that he was greeting the guests. I moved over to the location where Juno and I had been the previous night and assumed my position. Marcus and Greta would signal the packs to wave and greet me as they came. Better this way than having women swooning over me all the time. That might irritate Reina. My thoughts then turned to last night’s Juno’s Twin. I assumed Juno would feel nothing, but she does, but she is unaware of what it is. Her brother, on the other hand, had a completely different reaction. I could tell he was feeling something. By the way, he came to a complete halt and gazed at us. Why did he avert his sight so quickly? He looked like he was in a bad mood. Well, I will be meeting with him today, and I will have all the answers to my questions. Then I saw a girl who tried to seduce me in my office from Alex’s pack. The audacity of that boy. Even so, he managed to make it to this event. Well, Zeus would be here too. Well, he’s already here. I can sense him. However, whose body did he utilize this time around? One thing is certain: while that asshole and I may disagree on a variety of issues, he would never harm Juno, would he? At the very least, I know he’s here for Juno and would undoubtedly grovel for her. Alex would have to worry about Zeus or Hugo. Hugo appears to be a ruthless individual. I’m just praying he isn’t misusing his position of authority, because if he is, I may have to chastise him, which would be detrimental to his sister. Alex bowed slightly and smiled at me. I glanced at him without responding with a wave or a nod. I lowered my head and my gaze locked with that girl. She noticed me, and I noticed her shivering with terror. My gaze then shifted to the black SUV, where Alex emerged with a man his age, whom I suspect could be his beta. I noticed Hugo passing Alex and his pack as I was glancing at him. They were not greeted by the man. Well, he wields a lot of power, which makes me wonder how many skills he possesses. I observed how he walked by Alex without greeting him. If he finds out Juno is his sister and what Alex did to her, I doubt if Juno will have a share with Alex. That boy looks like he has a hard time controlling his anger. Then a clumsy young man appeared and waved, and I nodded. He grinned. I recognize that smile. Perhaps it is a figment of my imagination. I looked at the clock because I was tired of bowing and waving to my people. I returned to my room to wake Juno for breakfast. However, when I entered our room, she was no longer there.
Marcus, Are you aware of Reina’s whereabouts? Through the mind link, I inquired of Marcus.
“Yes, my lord, she’s out in the garden picking up some flowers,” my second in command confirmed.
I went to the garden and met her there, where she was plucking flowers. My goodness, my mate was just stunning. I raised my eyes to her. She was walking, and it was clear he had healed. I approached her and gave her a hug back. She grasped my hands and raised her head to meet my gaze.
“Morning,” She stated.
I snatched the flowers from her grasp and kissed her. Oblivious to the fact that my people would witness their king kissing someone, well, not just someone, but their Reina, their queen. She responded immediately. That little boy from earlier was standing not far from us as I kissed my Reina. I broke the kiss and whispered to Juno that a boy was watching us. She smiled and turned to greet the boy. That boy appeared to be irritated for some reason. I’m not sure why, but I’ve had a bad feeling about him since I saw him this morning. When Juno greeted him, he greeted her with a broad smile. Are you sure this boy isn’t flirting with Reina in front of me? Nevertheless, Juno recognized my discomfort and turned to kiss me, and whispered.
“Calm down, he’s only a boy.”
One who seems to be eye fucking you. I yelled at the back of my head.
