The Alpha King’s Fated Mate By Yui Ismutomo

Chapter 23
It was hours later that I woke up, my hand spreading over the soft silk sheet as I stretched. I open my eyes struggling to see the darkness in the room yet aware of the presence of someone’s body beside me.
He is still here…
Waking me up, a pair of hands wrapped around my body again and pulled me closer. “You’re awake” comes his voice through the darkness, unmistakably belonging to Rolf Titus.
“You stay?” I said as I returned his hug and inhaled his signature manly scent from his chest.
He sighed “Lately it’s hard for me to stay away from you”
“Hmm..” Come my respond with a smile, happy to know he has that feeling.
He pressed a soft kiss to my forehead and let it stay there while we embraced each other in the silent room, uncared for the world, just us. “Today there will be a memorial event for our fallen people and warriors. Are you strong enough to stand for a long time and attend the event with me?” He shot a question and I looked up to find his eyes to nod.
It’s been more than 2 days since I woke up, yes, at first I was still very weak, but my condition has started to improve by now
Only my right hand still needs to be in a cast because I know healing broken bones takes longer.
As if he knew what I was thinking, Titus lifted my wounded right hand and kissed it as if he wanted to relieve the pain through the kiss.
“You’ll heal quickly if your wolf helps you and wake up” He said and I smiled.
I had been expecting her presence for a long time, but now knowing that I had my wolf asleep made me happy, because I thought I was just an ordinary human without a wolf.
“I’m glad to know she’s in my body, I guess I don’t even have her so maybe she’ll come at the right time” I crooned calmly and he looked into my eyes before nodding and then going back to placing his lips on my forehead.
My stomach lets out

covers my cheeks as I hide deeper into Titus’ chest, a chuckle was heard coming from him and I feel his arms going under my curled knees
picking me up into his strong arms.
“Let’s get you proper food shall we?” He said, grinning down at me and I stared back at him still too startled to speak, it was too early in the morning to order a maid for breakfast.
He started walking comfortably with me still in his arms as if I’m weightless, never letting me down to go for a walk myself.
“I can walk, Titus” I said as he opened the door and we got to the stair without saying anything.
“You don’t have shoes and the floor is very cold in the early morning” Was his response with a frown and I can’t help but bite my lip to contain a smile at his words, he really changed into a possessive mate.
I like it!
“Don’t bite your lips, love” I looked up to meet his eyes and saw it had been staring at my lips “I’m the one who has the right to bite your lips, don’t hurt it” he added in a serious tone which made me smile again. He walked to the kitchen, setting me into one of the leather chairs at the breakfast bar and nearly squeaked in delight when I realized this is one of the twisty ones. Ignoring my surroundings, my happiness makes me twirl happily on the chairs with a laugh thinking that I am so childish right now.
I never felt so happy, Titus makes me happy like I never have before. A pair of eyes staring closely from my antics that make me blush in shame.
Oops…
“Do you need help?” I clear my throat and try to speak like an adult. He raised an eyebrow “You can cook?”
Sh*t, he knows…
A laugh coming from him means he knows that I’m not good in the kitchen area, thinking that I’ll never have a mate, cooking never crosses my mind thinking that I will just buy something from the store or cafe.
“So you can cook?” I asked him back who stared at me for a moment before he continued to whisk something.
“I have life longer from ordinary people, so yes, I can cook like a chef”

His answer caught my attention and made me want to ask what I had read in the book that he, the king, was immortal, many said that in times of war he had been torn, bitten, shot but nothing could kill him.
“I’ve read something about you, you know” I start and he hums without turning his body to tell me that he hears me “That… That you’re immortal?”
A plate of pancakes was placed on the table in front of me and made me gasp as he kissed my lips quickly “Eat first, I’ll talk” he said softly.
Taking a fork, I started pouring honey before cutting it and putting it in my mouth.
Mewling in pleasure, my eyes widened and turned to look at him “This is delicious, Titus” I exclaimed happily.
“You’re the first person who has tasted my cooking in a long time” he responded with a small smile and then told me to go back to eating it with a nod of his head.
Hearing the sadness in his voice, I placed my hand on his cheek and made him close his eyes while letting me touch him.
“I know what you read, I checked when you got back to your room” My hand fell from his cheek and he opened his eyes as he took my left hand. He fell silent and I let him prepare himself for the story.
When I said I accepted him, I had made the decision that he was my life, my mate and I would accept him completely.
“I’m 412 years old, Gwen” I gasp in shock with wide eyes and he just smiles sadly looking at me “the witch cursed me to have no happiness and always hurt from losing people I care about” He explains and for the first time I hear this story, no one said or wrote about the curse.
However, 400 years alone?
Oh my g*d, even my 5 years away from my family hurt like that, let alone this…
Once, we kill your mate… I suddenly remembered those words.
“Have you ever had a mate, Titus?”
He nodded and I gasped loudly.
How is this possible?
A werewolf only has one mate in its life!
“The witch killed her before my eyes”

Oh my G*d…
It is said that a werewolf will die after losing its mate, not immediately but years later.
– Flashback
“ROLF!” A girl I’ve known since childhood called me out in the field while I was training with the royal warriors with a big smile and ran towards
me.
“Pearl, what are you doing here?” I asked and walked towards her.
She giggled “I insisted on following my father who had things to discuss with the king” She replied and I nodded before informing the warriors to take a break and then walking with my little friend to the garden. “You know the war is about to start, but my father has good support from witches who are willing to help us. You know because my mother is a witch so they try to believe in the werewolf king” He began to tell the story with an excited tone as if it was a big deal.
Witches are not to be trusted, it is said that the black magic they started using makes them crazier than even the rogues.
However, if there is support from the mother, I don’t know if that’s something that can be done.
Pearl Collins is 18 years old, a little girl I’ve considered a sister since I was introduced to her 12 years ago when she was 6 years old, a
round-cheeked red-cheeked little girl who is very cute.
I, who was 15 years older than her, continued to accompany her until she found her mate and hoped that whoever that man was would treat her like a queen.
But wars in various regions prevented both of us from finding our mates, thinking that they were in other regions.
so that we neighbors only had each other as companions.
She was the only little girl who was never afraid of me.
Yet I didn’t see that she saw me as anything more than an older brother. A meeting between the Alphas was held the following week, discussing the alliance with the witches who were thought to be helpful in resolving the war.
But many Alphas disagreed with the king and started another war

instead.
And to make matters worse, the witches started going crazy as a result of trying black magic to make themselves stronger.
I was in New Zealand when I found her. She was one of the people who survived the madness of the black witch and managed to kill her. Yes, she was a warrior there and I was proud to call her my mate.
Catherine Lloyd.
“Who is she?!” Pearl shouted as I brought Catherine back to the palace and introduced her as my fated mate.
“Pearl, she’s Catherine, my mat…”
AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRGGGHHHHH…!!!” She cut off my words with a scream and for the first time I saw something different in her.
“What’s wrong with you?”
“You… how dare you have a mate..You.. You claim her too!!!” She started to speak and I was surprised to see blue flames surrounding her. What is this?
What’s going on?!
“Rolf, back off!!!” Catherine yelled and pulled my hand which did not escape Pearl’s sight.
She looked at Catherine’s hand that was touching me with a disgusted look.
“My mother warned me that you would find your mate, but I believe I am your mate, Rolf Titus” I gasped at Pearl’s words, not expecting her to have such thoughts towards me.
“Pearl, stop it! What are you doing?” I reminded her who started to raise her hand and set the room and the people in it on fire.
I knew her mother was a witch, but didn’t think she had one too.
