GoodReadChapter 80 Another Letter (Nikolas POV)
Aliana’s heartache weighed heavily on me, but I was determined to root out any lurking spies in our midst, no matter the cost.
Lisa, dear and pure, presented a challenge, for treating her as I did tug at my heartstrings.
However, it was an unavoidable necessity. I hoped Aliana would find it in her heart to forgive me, for our future held paramount
importance. She needed to understand that everything I undertook at present was for her and her people, who were also my
own. I yearned for her not to make it an issue.
Qusack interrogated Lisa, and to my relief, her accounts checked out. Truly, her father had abandoned her mother before she
came into this world, leaving no trace of a relationship.
The news brought solace, as I knew Aliana cherished her friendship. Tearing them apart would have been a sorrowful act. I
expressed gratitude for the update and instructed Qusack to release Lisa. Moreover, I asked him to inform Aliana of her friend’s
freedom, so that her distress might subside.
Understanding the arduous task of seeking Aliana’s forgiveness, I decided to acquire some flowers before returning to my
chambers. Fully aware of her anger towards me, I planned to offer them as a token of appeasement. I engaged a florist to
carefully select a bouquet of roses and have them delivered to my quarters within the palace.
As I made my way back to my room, Abraham reached out to inform me of a letter we had just received from the committee.
Swiftly altering my course, I headed straight for my office. I wondered what urgent matter they wished to discuss. Knowing a
meeting was held privately without me, made me wary of the letter’s content.
Entering my office, I found Abraham waiting for me. Qusack was absent, undoubtedly dealing with other pressing matters.
“Good evening, Alpha,” Abraham greeted me, to which I nodded in acknowledgement.
The letter lay unt*ouched on my desk. Normally, Qusack would open and read the correspondence, but with his absence,
Abraham had left it for me to peruse.
Sitting down in my chair, I let out a weary sigh. Abraham noticed my fatigue and inquired, “Rough day?”
I nodded in response, picking up the letter and examining it. Its contents carried a weight of discontent.
“Aliana is upset about what happened with Lisa,” I confessed, studying the words on the page.
“She needs to brace herself and be strong. There are no sentiments in leadership. We are fortunate that Lisa proved not to be a
spy. Imagine if she had been
working alongside her father, Fredrick and our enemies would have gained the upper hand,” Abraham expressed.
“I believe she will understand once I take the time to explain,” I relayed, looking at Abraham.
Ironically, I had never spoken of my intentions towards Aliana to Abraham, nor had I revealed the depths of my feelings for her.
Yet, somehow, he seemed to have perceived it. Whom was I fooling? My affection for her was undoubtedly apparent.
Opening the letter, I read its contents:
We write this letter in good conscience, hoping you read it with understanding. We have been made aware of certain issues
concerning your recent activities and the blatant disregard for the Unity Law.
Some alphas have accused you of disrespect and refusing to respond to their requests.
Rules govern us, and disregarding them would be ill- advised.
Despite not yet being king, you and the other alphas are equalled.
It is highly disrespectful to disregard your equals as you have. Believing this to be a mere misunderstanding, and assuming no ill
intent on your part, I have decided that you shall host the next committee meeting in Forest on the 13th. This will allow us to
observe the state of the region and explore avenues for its rapid development.
Please remember that this is a friendly letter, and we sincerely hope for your success.
Alpha Olsen Sadowski”
Suppressing the urge to crumple the letter in my fist, I acknowledged the gravity of the situation.
It was not a request but an order. They wanted me to host the meeting so they could infiltrate Forest and spy on me.
Furthermore, they conveniently omitted to mention the Snow meeting to which I was not invited, effectively isolating me from
their activities.
I resolved to seek counsel from Gabriel on how to handle this matter. While I couldn’t prevent them from coming, I could thwart
their nefarious plans within our borders.
Abraham, exhausted as he was, and I engaged in a thorough discussion about the letter. He assured me he would inform
Gabriel of the situation, seeking his advice. I also instructed him to relay the message to Qusack.
Returning to my chambers, I found Aliana reclining on the couch, sipping juice. The presence of the flowers in the room
reminded me of where we had left off. Curiosity tempted me to steal a glimpse, but she surprised me with a radiant smile as if
nothing had transpired.
“I adored the flowers,” she remarked swiftly, leaving me astounded by her sudden change in mood. I had anticipated her initial
anger, yet I was mistaken.
Rising from the couch, she approached me, her robe slightly ajar, revealing a glimpse of the lace lingerie I had gifted her from
Peakland. I wondered when she would wear the rest of them. Instantly, my face lit up, and I used my hands to open her robe
further, revelling in the sight before me. She was resplendent. “Black suits you, Little Wolf,” I whispered, my lips grazing her
earlobe, eliciting a delightful giggle and moan. I had anticipated resistance, but it seemed there was no friction between us. Still, I
understood the necessity of a proper apology.
Drawing her closer, I nibbled at her neck, feeling a rush of exhilaration.
“I apologise for what transpired with Lisa, Little Wolf,” I confessed, and she gently pulled away, her eyes meeting mine.
“It was necessary. She explained everything to me. There’s no need to apologise for striving to keep us safe. I, too, apologise for
my initial attitude,” she expressed, and relief washed over me as we reached an understanding. Nonetheless, I felt the need to
Scooping her up in my arms, I carried her to bed, carefully removing her robe and laying her down on the sheets. She looked
breathtaking. I went to work, for each time I made love to Aliana, it was an experience unlike any other.
I gently caressed her voluptuous curves, my fingertips tracing the contours of her tender bosom, evoking a passionate sigh from
her lips. The intoxicating scent of her desire filled the air, enveloping us in a haze of anticipation. In that moment, she belonged
to me completely, her body aflame with readiness.
With tender care, I unfastened the delicate clasp of her bra, unveiling her supple breasts as my hands explored their silken
terrain. As I drew her nipple into my mouth, one by one, a symphony of pleasure escaped her throat, a sweet melody thatFollow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
reached the depths of my soul. Her plea for consummation tantalised my senses, her hand stretching towards my waistband in
an ardent invitation.
Unable to resist her allure, I succumbed to the passion that coursed through my veins, surrendering myself to the depths of her
being. Our bodies merged, intertwining with an intensity that spoke volumes of our love. With each movement, I sought to
convey the depth of my devotion, illustrating to her the sheer magnitude of her significance in my life.
As our ardor intensified, we cascaded into waves of ecstasy, finally collapsing upon the bed, our spent bodies intertwined.
Though physically weary, my heart soared, buoyed by the knowledge that no matter what challenges may arise, she would
forever remain by my side. With newfound courage, I embraced the future, secure in the enduring bond we shared.
Afterwards, lying together in bed, spent and content, I decided it was time to disclose what lay ahead, allowing her to prepare
herself.
“There may be a war on the horizon,” I began, and in an instant, she exclaimed, sitting up straight in bed. I joined her, wrapping
my arms around her and holding her close.
“I have discussed it with your father, and he is willing to assist. The truth is, Fredrick, would never allow me to ascend the throne.
If I continue to play politics with that bastard, I risk losing everything, including my life. Besides, I desire our child to be born into
freedom,” I confessed, tenderly placing my hand upon her abdomen, where a faint bulge indicated new life.
“Recently, I discovered that my father never signed the Unity Law decree or the decree about the slave trade. Someone
intercepted the letters and forged his signature on those decrees. I suspect his right-hand man, whom I’ve just learned may still
be alive. I also discovered that Lisa’s father and others work for him. That’s why I took those precautions. And you were right
about Dr Newton—he is a spy working for
Fredrick. It’s all a tangled mess, Aliana. I need you to be strong for me. I promised your father that I would do right by you, and I
have no choice but to fulfil that promise because you mean everything to me, Aliana. Please know that I intend to win this battle
and claim the crown through force,” I revealed.
“I have decided to declare myself as the Forest King and await Fredrick’s response. They plan to hold a
committee meeting in Forest. I know it is an opportunity for them to communicate with their spies and assess my strength.
Although I cannot deny them entry, I plan to reduce the werewolf population in Forest, creating the illusion that I do not possess
a significant number of werewolves here. With Hill and Snow’s spies apprehended, there will be no one left to inform them
otherwise,” I informed her, observing the worry in her eyes as her fingers gently traced patterns on my cheek. Her eyes glistened.
with tears. “I’ve always known it might come to this. Please be wise and stay safe. Know that you have my unwavering support in
whatever you decide, and I will stand by your side until the very end,” she assured me, bolstering my confidence with her
unwavering loyalty. All that remained now was to set our plans into motion
