Chapter 41
Asmoria was filled with joy as the warriors made their way through the gates with the culprit of the insane decision. The Lycans were elated. They wanted justice for their queen and they knew they would get it regardless. Every one of them knew the story of Drescher Koslov and Ralphine Belyaeva. They knew of what the beta had done to their queen and it was safe to say that no one in Asmoria was a fan of the Koslov beta. So, when the warriors came home with him, the pelted stones were expected.
“Death to the traitor!!”
“Kill him for what he did to the Queen!!”
“Do not forgive the atrocities against our queen!!“*
“May the goddess protect our queen!!”
“May our Queen protect us all!!”
“Long live Queen Ralphine!”
“Long live Queen Ralphine!”
The chants were loud and the stones being thrown were faster. The Lycans didn’t hold back when it came to Drescher and maybe that was also why the enforcer and the beta were not even bothered about the harsh treatment that Drescher was faced with. He would go through this and more. Drescher was in a lot of trouble and the only one who could have spoken for him, had banished him from home, he was fucked.
While the Lycans were losing their minds and ready to lynch Drescher to death, the king was with his queen. He had kept everyone off the entire floor. He was not going to risk losing his wife again. She belonged to him, with him and he would do. everything to make sure never to lose her again.
I’m sorry, Ralph. I should have come earlier,” King Miroslav said and Ralphine looked at him with soft eyes.
The Lycan queen could see the bags under the king’s eyes, and how much this was affecting him. She knew the pain he was feeling and the disappointment that he had in himself. She knew it so well and didn’t want him blaming himself. If anything, she was aware that there had been procedures that had gotten him stalling. Ralph knew of the king’s obsessions with her and she knew it couldn’t have been easy for him to keep his distance. Maybe that was why she held on to him tightly as if to remind the big bad king that she was here with him.
“I know, Ibrahim, I know. But it wasn’t your fault that this happened, my love,” Ralphine said and the king turned sharply to look at her. They were currently seated on the huge bed. Ralph had already cleaned up and her wounds had been exhaled by the king’s magic. It had been so fast, but none of that had shocked him more than what he had heard from her. Perhaps he had missed it, right?
“What did you just say?” the king asked as he looked at her. He wanted to be sure about this because it couldn’t be real Perhaps his endless dreams of a happy life with Ralphine were finally catching up with her, especially now that he needed to get a lot of rest. It was expected, but even then he couldn’t deny it
“That it wasn’t your fault I was kidnapped?” Ralphine said slowly, wondering what it was that her husband may have heard wrong. Surely the Lycan queen hadn’t mentioned anything wrong, yeah? Or maybe he had misunderstood her? Damn, it was too early for this, but maybe they were not on the same page
“You called me your love,” King Miroslav whispered hopefully as his purple eyes stared at her intently, scared of what the truth would be, and yet at the same time, he wished he hadn’t been hallucinating.
“Yes, I did. Do you not like it?” Ralphine said as he looked at the ring. She wanted to know what meant the world to him and she wanted to understand him better. Her time with Drescher had introduced her to a side of the king that was only ever visible to her. She had seen him as a kind man when the world knew him as the devil without a soul. She had known him as someone with a heart when everyone was certain he had dethroned the devil and taken over. It was a risk she was taking and

this time, she knew it would be worth it regardless.
“Like it? I w
it.” the Lycan king said, his purple eyes brightening with hope.

“Oh… it made you smile. I guess I will call you that often. My love. Ralphine said and the king stared at her softly. It was like he was looking at the best thing that ever happened to him. The lavender scent was fresh in the room and he loved it. She was everything good for him and even though it had been unfortunate that she had been kidnapped, he knew he would keep her safest with her.
“Still, I’m sorry it took me so long to get you back, Ralph. I should have done better-”
“The rules make a kingdom, Ibrahim. None of us is above the rules of law, and that is what you showed your people, our people, if you would let me. You did what any king would have done in your position. You chose the people and their safety. even though it broke your heart. That is a king I would want to be in support of. That showed you are a reliable king. I may not know much about power, as I’ve been a victim of it myself, but you did what was best at the moment, and that made me admire you more, Ibrahim. I am proud to be your erasthai,” Ralphine said while the king watched her in awe.
He had never imagined that he would be hearing this from his queen, especially when she had endured a week in a basement while being exposed to all kinds of treatment. This right here was the queen that Asmoria needed and for the first time in his life, King Miroslav felt relief. He felt like his Asmoria would be in great hands if anything happened to hi Maybe there would never be anything happening to him, but he was certain that everything would be well
“Ralph-
“Whatever you want to do, Ibrahim, I will support you. Do not let my kidnap ruin the plans for you. I swear, husband. I really am okay this time. I really am. I’m just happy to be back here with you. I missed your rainforest scent; I missed seeing you so much I never thought I would see you agai–Ralph said and Miroslav interrupted her by smashing his lips on hers. He had been patient with her. He had tried to hold back but seeing her here beside him, she looked so beautiful and so perfect. She was what he needed and he was not going to hold back.

Ralphine didn’t fight the king’s kiss. Instead, she let their scents blend in, as he kissed her gently and sensually, tracing face like she was everything to him, which she was. He loved her he was in love with her and he would always love her. There was no denying that as he held her delicately, worried that she would break even after he just confirmed himself that his mate was more powerful than she was given credit for. Gramed she wasn’t one for the wars, but then Miro would fight her battles.
“I love you. I love you so much, Ralph. So very much, Miroslav said to his mate who was smiling from ear to ear. She looked so happy it was making him happy too. Perhaps at the end of the day, they would be together and find a way to make Asmoria better, yeah?
“What do you want to do with Polina and Drescher, Ralph? I want you to be the one to decide what happens to them, regardless of what happened. You are my queen and you can do what you want with both of them. I don’t care if the sky turns yellow when they are down there. Whatever you want, you will get, askim,” King Miroslav said and Ralph smiled at him. She could tell that he was holding back for her sake. This was the second time she had witnessed him holding back and it was commendable of him really,
King Miroslay was giving his wife freedom and the chance to make the lives of those who had hurt her harder than they thought possible. He was allowing her to decide their fates, because only then would she get closure, and Ralph knew that too. Perhaps she would make the best decision for herself this time, right? After all the two bad conspired to take her way and force her back to a bond that had rejected her more than once. It was hectic.
“Today I just wish to be with you. To spend more time with you and know you better. We have been at war for a while and a break is the best for us. Besides, you could tell me more about the Lycans and what they expect of their queen, right? I would go for Kara or Heion, but I have a feeling they would make it a little harder. Besides, what better way to learn about Asmoria than from the king of Asmoria himself? I trust you, my love, so I choose you to be my helper. Of course, if you’re not too busy.” Ralphine said in understanding. She was trying to make things better and perhaps just this time, things would work in her favor, right?
As you
wish, skim. All I want is for you to be happy and free. I want you to know that everything that is here is at your disposal and that you are not lesser than me. I may be yet to crown you queen, Ralph, but you’re the people’s queen They

and you let it illuminate the entire kingdom.
“You haven’t been crowned yet, but the people consider you their queen of hearts. You won’t be doing this alone. Ralph. I will be right there with you, every step of the way. If you’re worried about the mating and pups. We can wait it out. As long as you’re my queen and as long as you’re happy, the pups can wait, we’re immortals now, love.
“We will have an eternity to bear children and nothing will come our way. You should never feel scared when you have me. love, never,” the king explained and Ralphine smiled at him. She had never expected that he would open up to her, but then he was always full of surprises, but this had to be the best of them all. Maybe the king was changing for the best, after all. “I love you,” Ralph whispered after a long silence, before she lugged the king again. If they were to get through this, then
they would do it, together, right?
Even if they had a traitor?
