Chapter 30

A Short Mes

One of them stepped forward immediately, understanding the silent command.

Kate’s lips pressed together in clear frustration, though she quickly tried to hide it.

Her eyes briefly flickered toward Olivia.

A flash of jealousy and anger passed through them.

Olivia, who had remained quiet during the entire exchange, tightened her grip on my hand slightly.

Argon noticed.

And growled again.

Ignoring both Kate’s presence and my wolf’s irritation, I turned back toward the town.

Still holding Olivia’s hand, I began walking forward again.

Leaving Kate standing behind us.

The noise of the lively town quickly swallowed the awkward moment.

Market vendors shouted prices.

The smell of roasted meat and spices filled the air.

And beside me, Olivia walked quietly.

Her hand still resting safely in mine.

As if that was where it belonged.

His Hand In Mine

Olivia POV

Alpha Kingsley woke me from my slumber when the carriage finally stopped in a small unfamiliar town.

I didn’t even know when I had fallen asleep.

Perhaps it was the exhaustion from the long journey.

Or perhaps it was the intense… moment we shared earlier in the carriage.

Just thinking about it made a blush creep up my face.

My cheeks burned red as the memory replayed in my mind.

The way he had devoured my mouth….

It was as if he had poured every emotion he had been hiding into that kiss.

It was hungry, raw and demanding.

Almost desperate.

The memory alone sent warmth rushing through my body.

When his hands cupped my breasts, a wave of heat spread through me so quickly that I couldn’t control the soft moans that escaped my lips.

At that moment, I had tried to remind myself that we were inside a carriage.

That someone might hear us.

But I was too lost in the moment to care.

My body had melted naturally into his arms, as though it had always belonged there.

As if that place against his chest had been made specifically for me.

His warm breath against my skin…

His rough voice close to my ear…

It made me crave him even more.

For a brief moment, I could swear I felt his fangs brush lightly against my neck.

But it happened so quickly that I couldn’t be sure.

Maybe it had only been my imagination.

Or maybe I had simply been too overwhelmed to notice properly.

My fingers had wandered over the firm lines of his chest and muscles, tracing then shape through his clothes.

They felt unreal and perfect.

As if they had been sculpted and crafted by the hands of a world renowned artist.

Or perhaps even the Moon Goddess herself.

Lucy purred happily inside me.

Mine.’

Her excited voice echoed through my mind.

The word alone sent another surge of heat pooling low in my stomach.

But just when I had completely lost myself in the moment…

He suddenly pulled away.

A small wave of disappointment hit me instantly.

Though I tried to convince myself that he had stopped because he was protecting his reputation.

After all, it wouldn’t look good if the Alpha King and his supposed Luna were discovered making out inside a carriage like reckless teenagers.

So I had turned toward the window, pretending to admire the beautiful scenery outside.

Though every now and then… I stole small glances at him.

Something inside me told me he had noticed.

But since he didn’t say anything, I pretended not to notice either.

Soon after that, sleep must have taken over.

Because the next thing I knew, he was gently waking me up.

Back to the present.

Alpha Kingsley was still holding my hand as we stepped down from the carriage.

As I adjusted my clothes, my eyes suddenly landed on a small damp stain on his shoulder and chest.

My eyes widened. “Oh no”.

A deep blush spread across my face.

I probably drooled on him while sleeping.

“Damn it, Olivia… how can you be this careless?” I muttered internally.

Embarrassed, I carefully observed his expression to see if he would scold me or show any sign of annoyance.

But he didn’t, Not even a little frown

Relief washed over me.

After informing me that we would take a short walk to stretch our legs and grab something to eat, he gave a few instructions 1Q the pack members traveling with us.

Then we began walking toward the town.

He still held my hand.

And I couldn’t stop the small smile that formed on my lips.

My hand looked tiny inside his large one.

Yet somehow it felt like the most natural thing in the world.

Like our hands were meant to fit together perfectly.

Just as my thoughts were drifting peacefully…

A voice suddenly called from behind us.

“Alpha… can I join you?”

I froze instantly.

That voice I frowned.

Kate.

“why now of all time”.

`

Without realizing it, I tightened my grip on Alpha Kingsley’s hand.

To my surprise, he tightened his hold on mine as well.

Maybe to reassure me or maybe it was simply instinct.

Kate approached with her usual coy expression, giving him those flirtatious, delicate looks that always seemed to melt the

hearts of men.

But when I glanced at her, I caught something else.

For a brief second, when she thought no one was watching…

She smirked at me.

A cold, mocking smirk.

I stayed silent and watched the situation unfold.

To my surprise, Alpha Kingsley dismissed her request immediately.

He calmly assigned one of the guards to accompany her instead.

When she tried to insist again, he waved her off impatiently and continued walking-still holding my hand.

Leaving her standing behind us.

Curious, I turned slightly to glance back.

Kate’s eyes were burning with anger.

Her fists were clenched so tightly that her knuckles had turned white.

She looked like she was barely holding herself back from exploding.

I couldn’t help it.

A small chuckle escaped me.

I gave her a polite smile.

The kind that only made her glare at me even more.

Satisfied, I turned away and continued walking beside my mate.

We had barely stepped deeper into the town when a delicious smell drifted through the air

It was sweet and irresistible.

My stomach growled loudly

I quickly placed my free hand over my belly, hoping to hide the embarrassing sound.

But unfortunately… It growled again.

Even louder this time.

I lowered my head in embarrassment.

Beside me, Alpha Kingsley suddenly chuckled.

“Seems like someone is hungry,” he said.

My face burned even redder.
