The King's Wife Is The Alpha's Mate

"Which one do you like better?" Leland asked her back. "I can move in here with you if you are already feeling comfortable here."

Sophie furrowed her brows and checked her surroundings again. This chamber was really spacious and had everything they needed, but she had not seen Leland\'s chamber so she didn\'t really know if her place was better for them than his.

"I haven\'t seen your chamber," she said honestly. "You\'ve seen both. So, which one do you think is better for us?"

"Yours is perfect since you don\'t have to move out and gather your stuff again," he replied.

His chamber was big but it was cold and boring. He only used it for sleep and didn\'t care about decoration. However, it was different for Sophie\'s.

He specifically told his people to prepare her chamber to be fit for a princess. She would suffer if she had to move to his place and leave all this comfort and beautiful space.

"Okay... I believe you," Sophie smiled and then nodded in agreement. She liked her bedroom and would be happy to share it with her husband. "I can set aside some space in the closet for your stuff."

"Thank you," Leland kissed her nape and hugged her tightly. "I am a man and don\'t have many personal things. I don\'t need that much space except for your bed."

Gosh... he was dying to fuck her again, but he must let her go and mother their children.

"Well... that\'s settled then," Sophie said. She got up from his lap and quickly went to the closet to get her dress. She was still feeling shy to let him see her naked body in broad daylight. Perhaps, in time, she would get used to it, but not this morning.

Leland could only watch her get dressed and prepare to leave the chamber with longing in his eyes. His expression didn\'t escape Sophie\'s vision. When she was walking toward the door, she halted her steps in front of him.

"Why... are you sulking?" she asked him, worried that she did something wrong without realizing it. "Is anything the matter?"

She instantly bulged her eyes when she saw his hardness poking from under his hands. The man had tried to cover it but it was difficult to do. She realized what was going on.

Perhaps, when she was sitting on his lap earlier and he was kneading her breasts, he became aroused. That\'s why he suddenly stopped.

"Are you... are you okay?" She asked him, worriedly. "Should we... uhm, do something about it?"

"I am fine, you can go and take care of the kids," the man faked a smile. He was not fine, but he wouldn\'t let her think he only wanted her for sex.

"Uhm... okay. I will go see Luciel and Jan and ask Dinah to clean up the room after you are done."

She turned around, but before she could walk out, she remembered the promise she made to herself last night, that she would be a good wife to this man and serve him well.

"We can do it quickly, what do you think?" she said suddenly and turned back around to him. "I am sure the kids are fine, otherwise Dinah would already be banging on my door."

Leland didn\'t even know his head had bobbed as a reply. Sophie smiled seductively and went to his lap. He was still naked and she could feast on his wonderful physique.

The man kissed her excitedly and slipped his hands under her skirt to caress her thighs.

Needless to say, the Alpha and his mate spent extra time that morning to savor their intimacy. Since the bed was still ruined from last night\'s activities, they did it on the couch.

Later that day, Leland moved into Sophie\'s chamber.

***

Everything seemed to go well for Leland and the Blood River Pack. Now that Sophie accepted him as her true husband and mate, their relationship vastly improved and Leland was now confident.

Several weeks later, he talked to Sophie in confidence about their situation.

"I am aiming to become the next Lycan King and my goal is to reunite all of the packs together under my name, Sophia," Leland explained.

Sophie looked at him in surprise and then spoke honestly from her heart. She smiled sheepishly and scratched her cheek. "I… I really didn\'t think that you would be the type who\'d suddenly desire to become king."

Leland chuckled. "When your grandfather, King Malachi passed on, no one from all of the packs in the continent was able to unite us and we splintered. In order for us to live well, we need to unite again and the tribe needs a figure to do that."

"I understand." Sophie nodded seriously and looked at her husband. "Is there anything I can do to help you?"

"Well, you have already become my wife in name and also in truth." Leland\'s expression became loving. "So I would like to tell you that my next step is to move into the capital and go for the royal family."

Sophie looked at him. "That sounds dangerous. You are already familiar with how the royal family has such bad blood with the lycans, right? They will not hesitate to put anyone who is suspicious to death. The situation is rather bleak."

"It is," Leland admitted. "But you have nothing to worry about me, Sophia. The Blood River Pack and I have been well prepared for all these years. My years with the pack are not for nothing and we also have allies."

"I\'m relieved." Sophie smiled but she held his hand. "Still, is there anything that I can do? You are trying to make the nobility put their trust in you and you fulfilled that point by attending events right?"

Leland nodded. "Yes, and I have also alleviated their fears or worries by marrying someone from Riga. They believe that I am here for good and for business purposes, expanding my reach."

"That person is me," Sophie smiled crookedly. "Would you have married someone else if you didn\'t find me?"
