The King’s Wife Is The Alpha’s Mate - Chapter 236

In the spacious manor’s courtyard, the invited guests had arrived. The old, young, and children of the Blood River pack were already there.

Of course, they didn’t want to miss this important moment, especially for the gossipers, they were the ones who looked the most enthusiastic.

Their hearts were excited and impatient for the moment when the two boys transformed. It gave them the chance to see the human face of the twin sons of Alpha and Luna.

If the faces of the two children differed greatly or bore no resemblance to their Alpha and Luna, that would be a very good gossip material.

Whoops!

Jan jumped forward and caught Luciel. His brother was running after another wolf cub but was held back by his brother.

Luciel tried to break free, and Jan held him as hard as he could and they had a fight. The two rolled on the grass and overlapped one another. They bit each other’s ears, pushed, and pounced about.

The boys’ squabble continued until the grey-white wolf cub that Luciel had previously chased came along with the other children. He and his army ran fast and jumped at the two brothers, and … then they were piled up like mountains.

If this was a cartoon, then some little birds would have been circling Luciel’s head who was at the very bottom.

The children’s behavior invited laughter from those who were watching, but some looked indifferent or didn’t notice. They were so serious and preoccupied with chatting or enjoying the drinks and light snacks that were available.

Lucas, who saw Alpha and Luna coming, immediately approached them. Everyone stopped their activity and gathered to pay their respects, while Duncan and Max picked up the twins and led them to Alpha and Luna.

Leland received the respect of the pack. Then he gave a few words of welcome, after which he invited all the guests to have fun and enjoy the series of events that had been arranged, while they waited for midnight when Luciel and Jan would turn into humans.

SWOOSH!

The bonfire was lit, music was played, the servants came out gradually and brought venison to be arranged on the grill.

The lycans circled the bonfire and danced gracefully, followed by the couples. Singles also didn’t want to be left behind, even though they don’t have a partner yet. Who knew? Perhaps they will find their soul mate there?

As for the kids, they made their own fun. They ran and jumped around as if they never ran out of energy to do them.

Sophia only sighed tiredly when she saw Luciel and Jan, who could never sit still for even a minute. “Aren’t they tired of doing that? As the one looking at them, I’m tired already.”

When he heard his mate grumble, Leland couldn’t help but smile.

“Isn’t that good? It means they are healthy,” he said and drank his wine calmly.

“Hm, well. You’re right, Leland.” Sophie looked at the black gold-patterned tunics that were on her lap. It was the ones she had prepared long ago for Luciel and Jan.

She smiled and imagined that when Jan and Luciel wore these clothes, it would be really amazing. She couldn’t wait any longer.

After looking at the clothes, she turned to look at the lycans who danced around the bonfire.

Leland, who was still drinking his wine, was taken aback when Sophie suddenly stood in front of him with her hand outstretched. She asked him, “Would you like to dance with me?”

Leland furrowed his brows and stared at Sophie in silence. To be honest, he was happy with the invitation, but he was considering Sophie’s health.

She had gotten better the past year, but he didn’t want to take risks by letting her do strenuous activities like dancing.

“Just a moment, I beg you. A party without dancing is no fun. If I faint you can just carry me. Easy, right?” Sophie smiled widely. She spoke as if it was something light.

Didn’t she know how Leland felt every time she fainted? The man felt as if half his life was taken from him.

“Leland, please…?”

Leland was still reluctant to accept Sophie’s extended hand, but seeing Sophie’s pleading face…. he could not refuse.

“Okay, but only for a moment.” He put his goblet on the table and took Sophie’s outstretched hand.

The festivities around the castle courtyard broke out, and Sophie brought Leland to join everyone who was dancing happily.

“Leland, you are very handsome.”

“Haven’t I always been handsome,” said Leland as he turned Sophie around.

“Yeah yeah, but tonight you look a hundred times more handsome.”

Sophie wasn’t lying, Leland, who was already handsome from the start, grew even more handsome when the light from the bonfire hit his face.

It made Leland shine even more.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, Lucas – the Beta, seemed to be separating himself from the crowd. Instead of dancing, he preferred to eat grilled venison while he watched his surroundings.

Parties like this were often used by the enemy to attack. So, he wanted to stay vigilant and let the Alpha and the others enjoyed a nice time while he kept watching.

From some distance away, Duncan and Max were standing with their arms crossed, watching the bonfire and the people dancing to the music.

The two lycans who were assigned to watch over Luciel and Jan were whispering about the Beta. They heard some rumors said that Lucas had two left feet, that was why he never joined dances.

“I can totally see it. He does look like he had two left feet.” Duncan chuckled and turned to Max. However, from the corner of his eyes, he could see a shadow looming in and—

Duncan and Max bit their lips when Lucas suddenly stood behind them with an intimidating cold aura. The Beta stepped up and hugged them both.

Duncan and Max became tense.

Lucas smiled lopsidedly, and then said, “I still have one more secret, you know.”

“…”

“Wh-what… is it?” Duncan asked with a low voice.

Lucas brought Duncan and Max’s heads closer to him.

“I’m also a cannibal,” he whispered threateningly.

Lucas breathed behind Duncan’s ear and caused Duncan to gulp.
