The Alpha King's Mate is Strange!

"Let go of me!!!" She screamed at the top of her lungs while slapping his back in anger. Her light face turned crimson because the way he carried her was improper.

She was being ushered out of the throne hall like a sack of grains.

The two large guards bowed their heads to the sovereign King that approached the exit. They opened the door, keeping their heads bowed.

The air around him turned chilly, it was enough to make gooseflesh appear on her skin. But she ignored it and continued screaming. She didn't care if she looked bad to the Alphas of different packs.

As he stepped into the hallways crowded by servants dallying, all heads bowed after seeing him from afar. They dared not refute him but they couldn't help feeling happy seeing the obstinate Queen being treated that manner.

Seeing the expression on their Alpha's face, they knew she did something. And she definitely overdid it.

[Pffft! What did she do this time around?] One of the servants slapped her duster together while sending knowing looks to the others.

They dared not speak out knowing the King had sharp ears. So they used the mind-link to communicate.

[Who knows? Ask for a petition to free the slave trade of humans? Such impossible fit!] Another responded and her laughter resounded in the heads of the others hearing their conversations.

[I like her, she's so considerate.] Another servant said, her misty eyes looking thoughtful as they watched the King's silhouette become smaller as the distance increased.

[Yeah, that was because she managed to bewitch you into thinking she's the better person here, Tanya. Funny how she dares to think she's as equal as everyone in Lycaria. Pity!] A silver-blonde maid batted her lashes, her dark eyes gleaming with happiness as she continued working.

The woman who was being addressed as the bewitched Omega rolled her eyes at her statement. They just wouldn't get the Queen. She was so free-spirited, she was adventurous and questioned everything about their world.

They thought she was insane ever since she woke up from her coma some weeks ago. That was because the Queen spoke so loud and practiced outrageous dance moves in public.

What was worse, she dared to drug the Lycans guarding her chamber just to escape. But still, she couldn't escape her husband.

'Sigh... I hope she doesn't get into much trouble.' the maid named Tanya could only sigh before returning to her work.

...

"Let go of me!!" She screamed and he finally hearkened to her words. But the look on his face was enough to make her keep shut.

'Uh-oh! He's so mad... Extremely mad!' She learned in her thought, while assessing his gorgeous features turn dark by the seconds.

"What was the meaning of that?" His ruthless voice rolled out of his mouth, resonating in her chambers.

Selena scoffed and threw her head to the side. She rolled her eyes skyward and slanted her head as she returned her gaze to him.

"Meaning of what?" She raised a brow, as though she forgot the havoc she caused in the throne hall minutes ago.

"You have no right to speak when Alphas speak up. You have no right to question an Alpha. You know nothing!" His jaw ticked as he grabbed her shoulders.

Selena's fiery-red brows creased into a frown while she met his cold gaze without fear in her eyes. She didn't know why his words made her rile up.

What was up with every f**ked up rule in this place?

'I never even begged to have a second chance to live! I didn't beg to have to live this kind of life! What's up with being told to keep shut while these beasts keep acting as the superiors!' she inquired in her mind, but her gaze never left his face.

"Wrong! I have a right, as much as I'm a living being with a big mouth. I have opinions. Positions don't matter to me, take it or leave it, Your MAJESTY!" Though her voice was calm, there was an intensity and weight it placed on the Alpha.

She had no right speaking to him in that manner. In as much as he married her to keep her with him so he could get what he want, she shouldn't question his actions or his words. It was pissing him off, seriously.

"That big mouth you have would land you and your fellow humans in your graves, Queen Selena!" His grip on her arms tightened.

Selena knew it might leave a little bruise but she wasn't giving up. Instead, she matched his own intensity with an inferno that started to build up in her unique eyes.

"It's better than having to live under the rule where they are used as bargaining chips to save your f**king kingdom!" This time she screamed, and her eyes started to water.

Selena knew how it felt to be trafficked. Infact, she was saved from human trafficking before gaining fame as a popular celebrity.

Selena grimaced at the thought of watching young ladies serve the Alphas as a form of entertainment.

The King's expression turned more glacial. Chilly aura surrounded him, hearing the way she spoke of his Kingdom. He didn't know when it happened but his large hand went to her throat.

He grabbed it tight before lifting her up from the floor a little.

Selena got scared as she felt the pressure on her wind pipe. She couldn't breathe, and felt her face burning hot. Her sight got clouded with tears, while she struggled to breathe.

"You will not address my Kingdom like that." He spoke through gritted teeth as his grip on her neck tightened.

His pheromones could be felt over the place, and any Lycan who sensed it would know it was dangerous to walk into the chamber that moment.

Selena felt like her soul was about to leave her body because to her, he was insane. She knew Lycanthropes were highly territorial, but she didn't think he would be this obsessed with his kingdom.

And at the expense of taking her life because she badmouthed it.

It was then she knew she had to escape this castle. At all cost!

Her hands were clawing helplessly at his large hand still latched tightly on her throat. He was almost crushing her windpipe.

Tears kept streaming down the corner of her eyes while she struggled to breathe.

Ryker's grip on her neck loosened and she dropped down on her knees, a thud resonating in the room.

The King walked away from the chamber immediately, because he felt like going on a killing spree. He surely couldn't kill her now until he got what he wanted.

As soon as he left, she coughed out and her hands went to her slender throat. Just those words and she was not far from the afterlife.

"This is all crazy! You all are crazy!!" She almost yelled, but the friction his grip caused on her throat made her voice sound crispy and coarse.

Ignoring the pain that swam up from her knees, and the aftermath of having to be held on chokehold, she scrambled to get herself up.

'I won't let myself get trampled upon in this beastly world! I won't let my rights be taken from me at the expense of surviving death!' her inner voice stated in her head.

Standing upright, her breathing still laborious. She muttered under her breath.

"I have to find a way to return! I can't stay here..."
