The King's Wife Is The Alpha's Mate

When morning came for the two of them, Nicholas woke up and found Sophie asleep in his arms. She was currently resting and leaning against his chest.

The sight of her was incredible and it made Nicholas extremely happy. He didn't think that this would actually happen between the two of them, but now that the two of them did… it was everything that he could ever want.

"I want to marry you," Nicholas mumbled to himself as he brushed back some of Sophie's beautiful and silken hair against her ear. He placed a chaste kiss on her forehead and wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer.

There were a lot of things that were now on Nicholas's mind.

In the past, Nicholas genuinely wanted to repay his debt to Sophie as his savior, but now, he was already imagining what it would be like to spend the rest of his life with her. The rest of their days could be like this here in Hauntingen and it would fill him with immense bliss.

A pleased smile formed on Nicholas's face. 𝑓𝑟eℯ𝒘𝗲𝑏n𝑜𝚟𝙚𝒍.𝒄o𝐦

Until he realized that his father would not accept this marriage between them.

Nicholas knew that his father prioritized the kingdom and it was important for them to have strong alliances to secure the safety and prosperity of their kingdom.

It wasn't suggested often since the king still thought that Nicholas was immature to have a wife, but they mentioned names. There were some princesses from the neighboring kingdoms or the daughters of important noble families in the capital.

Nicholas didn't want any of them and he only wanted the woman that was in his arms right now.

While Nicholas only thought of wanting to marry her right now, the young man realized that it was the best decision to do. If Nicholas was already married to Sophie then there was nothing that his father could do but accept the marriage.

Once Nicholas was king, he was more than ready to forge strong alliances with the other kingdoms in order to vanquish the werewolf clan for once and for all. During those times, he and Sophie would have the opportunity to travel and meet different people.

"But first the wolfsbane," Nicholas muttered to himself. "Or the ring first… but there's no proper ring here. Not to mention all the plans to make. Well, we don't need any guests, just the two of us will do."

Nicholas knew that he needed to cure his lycanthropy first, but the idea of Sophie and him sharing their vows here in Hauntingen underneath the beautiful canopy of blossoming trees was a sight that he wanted to engrave in his heart and mind.

Maybe the ring wasn't even important now, as long as the two of them got married first then the ring could come later. Nicholas would make Sophie pick whatever she wanted for herself.

It settled things for Nicholas as he waited for his future bride to wake up… but then a thought suddenly bugged him.

What if Sophie refused to marry him?

While it was true that Sophie gave her first time to him and slept with him last night, what if she didn't want to be his wife? What if she wanted to be free and without any kind of constraints?

Nicholas prayed fervently in his heart that Sophie would accept him.

Once Nicholas's heart stopped worrying, the man found the strength to get up from bed even though he did it with much reluctance. However, Nicholas wanted to surprise Sophie and please her.

Nicholas prepared her breakfast again to serve her in bed.

This time, he did his best to cook even better than before.

There weren't a lot of ingredients since Sophie wanted to work for her own food and not rely on Nicholas for expenses, but there were eggs and other perfect things to eat for breakfast. The man cooked them for her and placed them on the table.

"Mmm...Nicholas?" Sophie's eyes flickered open once she smelled the aroma of fragrant food.

"Ah, good morning, Sophie!" Nicholas quickly walked over to Sophie and brought her the plate on a tray and greeted her with a kiss on the forehead. He didn't want to surprise her too much, so he tried to play it cool. 𝗳𝔯𝙚e𝒘e𝚋𝘯𝚘ν𝙚l.𝑐o𝙢

"You made breakfast?" Sophie looked at him in surprise.

"I thought you might have gotten hungry after last night," Nicholas said. "You might also be feeling a bit sore too."

Sophie looked down at the beautiful food arrangement that Nicholas did and only blushed while chuckling. "Ah, now that you mentioned that… I didn't think that you would suddenly go um, all out?"

"I hope that you enjoyed yourself though," Nicholas watched Sophie's expression earnestly to see her reaction. "It's my first time pleasuring a woman so I probably need a lot more practice to get better at it."

Sophie looked at Nicholas and realized what he implied through his words. Her voice squeaked slightly and she asked, "What did you just say?"

"That I will do my best to learn," Nicholas smiled brightly. "But ah, that's only if you're okay with that?"

"Haha, I almost thought that you'd look elsewhere." Sophie grinned a bit at him. "Well, since it's my first time and yours… there are some difficulties but you actually seem pretty experienced. Where did you learn how to do those things?"

The idea that a man would suddenly go down on her didn't seem instinctive at first because Sophie was a bit nervous, but then the pleasures the man brought her were heavenly.

"I may have read a book about it once. I promise I have only done it with you." Nicholas shrugged sheepishly but then smirked. "I think I did a lot better because I could read your expressions and listen to your moans."

"Don't say that!" Sophie's face flushed as she stared at him. "It's a little embarrassing."

"It's just really cute seeing you react like that," Nicholas chuckled. "Whether you're smiling, blushing, or mad at me.. you're always so mesmerizing and beautiful to me."
