Chapter 179
KHAL’S ORDINARY DAY
KHAL’S POV
“You, well?” I felt worried about my sister. She was in her room for the whole day, even if Higher King Oswald summoned her. She reasoned out that she was sick.
“I witnessed him.” She rested her eyes on the window. She could not even change her clothes from yesterday. Still wearing the white long robe. Her hair was a mess as if she did not comb it.
“Witness, who?” I grabbed one of the chairs, placed it in front of her, and sat there.
“Hali.” Her lips were pale. Possibly due to not eating anything. If Matilda did not inform me, I would not know that she was dealing with stress. “He has another woman.”RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
“Huh?” My forehead knitted. I would not believe it easily. Perhaps they had a misunderstanding about whatever they were quarreling about. “Are you sure?”
“I saw it right in front of me. He brought flowers and food to the Omega’s lady! I’m gonna cut her throat.” She gritted her teeth as she moved up. I covered my nose when suddenly a smell flew from her. This was what I did not like about being a wolf. The smell was intensified more than the real human sense of smell.
“Since when did you last bath?”
She widened her eyes. Suddenly, Hali’s voice could be heard outside the room. She ran as fast as she could going to the bathroom. I laughed as loud as I could. She felt she was heartbroken that even after bathing she forgot.
“Don’t let him in as long as I’m not yet done!” Zarya’s shouted from the bathroom.
“Copy.”
“Zarya? Love?” Hali knocked again.
I opened the door. I smiled at Hali widely. “You have an issue to solve. Don’t come inside as long as she was not yet done bathing.” I tapped his shoulder. “Break your leg.” He was curious when I left him alone.

I was swamped with the duties of the Master Of The Beta. They were correct, being a wolf was not easy. Being involved in the royal means committing your entire life to it. I already met my wolf when I was at the battle of the beta, I thought I had no wolf due to my mother’s blood, but good thing it showed up. I headed to Matilda. She was with King Lightning. I had no idea what was their discussion about, but surely it was about the Elemental Kingdom’s matter.
When Matilda saw me, she asked permission from King Lightning. She bowed at him before walking toward me. She tiptoed and reached my cheek. I embraced her using my arms. Today was the only time we could walk or relax because we were done with the Alpha King’s command.
“You’re so beautiful.” I pleased my lips on the edge of her nose. “I can’t take my eyes off of you,” I whispered in her ear.
“Me either.”
I followed her when she dragged me towards the inside of the Elemental Kingdom. She brought me to her room and kissed my lips. I fought back her kisses. I would never be tired of doing this to her.
“Don’t you wanna make love with me?” She whispered to my ear, flirting with me while caressing my chest.
“You know, I want to.” I cupped her cheek and kissed her so gently as if she was a vulnerable glass that would break once I did not handle it well. “After marriage.”
I knew that this was traditional. In a generation of a gentleman. I did not want her to experience a man who was just playing around and when they were done, she would be thrown like trash. My mother was once abused. That was a lesson to anybody this thing should not be given without marriage. My perception was different from theirs. We slept together most of the nights, but I never planned to take her. She was too significant to break.
“I want the wedding extraspecial, Matilda.” I kissed her forehead plenty of times as I was caressing her neck. It was funny that I was refusing the pleasurable moment for a man.
Matilda held my hand and kissed the back of it. “Thank you.”
My knowledge scoped that Matilda was abused, not just once, but plenty of times and I knew that she felt bad about that every time I heard her talking to the other ladies. She felt dirty with herself and look down on her. She felt that she was broken and would never be glued together. Last night, she told me everything about her past. She said to me what happened between her and Hali. After she left the Elemental Kingdom, there she experienced different kinds of suffering which made her Matilda, The White Hair Woman Murders. In spite of what happened, she was still brave to gamble her heart for someone like me. She admitted that at her first sight landed on me, she liked me and no one could halt her from loving me. In her damaged heart, there was me, fixing, and sticking it together until it completely healed.
“You’re more than repair now.” I placed my hands on her waists. “You’re the purest women I met because your heart is clean and kind.” My mouth went to her ear. “Can’t wait for the wedding night to come.”
Then, we both chuckle with happiness covering our hearts. I realized there was more beyond my success in the Human World. There was another dream to a goal regardless of my international actor achievements, best looking, best leading man一Life will never stop when you pursue your one biggest dream. There is always something to pursue.
Now… I want to aim to be her husband. Soon.
If the Higher King approves our wedding. She did not know that I file that. It was a surprise.

We went to the House of Karl for visitation to Cleo. Due to the tight schedule and ruling of his house, he could not go out and meet us. Although Zarya was going to him most of the time, they bonded together. By the way, last week he married Deni Zin which made Matilda envy to them. It could be seen in the twinkling of her eyes that she was looking forward to me saying the date of our wedding. However, I did not spell it out. Everyone was getting married, we would not be the last. Time will come and she will see…
“Khal!” Cleo seemed elated when his eyes met mine. “Thank, God. You visit me. I will die with those duties. Should I create a child, so he could manage our House?”
The three of us laughed so loud. Getting matured and having a title means a busy every day.
“Where’s Zarya?” His eyes moved around, finding her.
“Brokenhearted.” I chuckled a little. I believed that no matter what they have been through, they could fix that. They love each other. That was enough reason to stay.
“Poor Zarya, I can’t go with her.” He whispered his next lines. “My wife is getting monster again. She’s shouting to me nonstop.”
I smiled with a sound. “That’s how it used to be.” During my high school days, my friends and I loved to take overnight with one of the houses, I saw that situation all the time with Froy’s father and stepmother. The same as Alisha’s parents.
Well, I am missing them anyway. I hope I can drag the day to Freedom Day, so we can visit them again in the Human World.
After a second of conversing, Deni Zin walked out of the room. She waved her hands at us and then went to Cleo. She pecked on his cheek.
“Is that acting? Excuse me you can’t fool Khal. he’s an actor in the Human World. You are just being sweet because they are here.” Cleo teased her wife.
“I will not kiss you again!” Deni Zin shouted at him. I just had a facepalmed when they started to fight in front of us.
Damn this. I thought having a wife is the best feeling ever. Look at them, they just married weeks ago and yet they look like an enemy who would kill each other.
“Lord Cleo! There are battalions of wolves attacking our House!” In an instant, that news filled our ears.
Great. Seems like I will face a battle again. Geez. I thought this is my free from duties day.
