The Alpha King’s Fated Mate (Gwen Louve)

Chapter 176

“I don’t hate you”

We continued to stare at each other after I said that.

What is this?

Why was he staring at me like that?

“Astaroth?” My mother’s voice made me realize that I had been staring at her like a fool, what was

wrong with me?!

Oh Go d, I’m like someone who has never seen a man before, how embarrassing is that?!

“When did you come?” I looked back at my father and tried not to listen to them until the door opened

and another voice joined them, it seemed that Melissa and Drake Jr. were coming.

“Do you want to go out?” Asked Drake jr. who was already beside me.

Letting out a long sigh before stroking my father’s face, I nodded my head, yes, I need to get out of

here.

My heart is raging, I’m so confused right now, I need some fresh air.

“Let’s go” I said after giving my father a peck on the forehead and turned towards the moms who were

sitting on the sofa.

“Do you want to go dear?” My mom asked and Melissa and the beautiful man looked at me.

Trying to look calm I just nodded my head before k*ssing the cheeks of the two women who were there

and nodding my head to the beautiful man named Astaroth.

While walking with Drake Jr. I noticed the gaze he kept giving me, why?

Lately, his gaze had been so strange that I could hardly breathe.

Letting out a long sigh as I exited the room and the door closed behind me, I realized Drake Jr. was

looking at me with raised eyebrows.

“Do you also find that Demon guy creepy?” Asked my friend, which confused me.

Demon man?

So it’s true that Astaroth is ‘The Astaroth’ I’ve read about, one of the strongest Demons in hell…

But…. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

What is he doing here?

What does it have to do with my father and me?

And that man who tried to hurt me, why did he try to hurt me? Why me?

What do they all have to do with me?

Drake Jr. stopped me in my tracks by grabbing my hand and making me look into his eyes “What’s

wrong with you? I know your father’s condition…”

“That’s not it…” I cut in quickly and made my friend fall silent.

Yes, you must be wondering if I have other friends? The answer is no, because my protective father

never let me go out for fear of something happening to me, but Drake Jr. is someone who was

assigned to be my guardian, so we became closer like friends because he is the only person I consider

a friend.

“Iris… Talk to me.” My friend coaxed me and made me stare at the window in front of me.

Walking towards the window and staring at what was happening down there, as if life had to go on

even though their king was in an unconscious state, that life and time were in constant conflict.

Leaning back while staring at the life below I opened my mouth “All this is confusing to me, Drake” I

said opening the conversation.

He walked over and stood in front of me, while looking at me seriously.

This 21-year-old man is like a brother, a friend and everything, somehow I’m not in love with him?

“I don’t really understand what’s going on but I don’t think the presence of that Demon guy named

Astaroth is here to harm the kingdom or your father” I raised my face to look into my friend’s eyes as he

spoke.

Astaroth is not here to harm the kingdom or my father?

“Are you sure?” I asked him again.

He nodded his head “It is said that he is here to protect all of you, especially you” He added which

made me furrow my brows even more confused.

Huh?

What does that mean?

“Me?” I repeated and saw him nodding his head again.

Could it be that father owes a debt to the Demon?

Is that why he’s here?

“I don’t know the exact details but it seems that all the guards were convinced by my father that we can

trust the Demon Astaroth” My eyes widened again at the words he added.

“Even your father convinced the guards?” I was confused.

What exactly is going on?

Go d… Since when can we trust the Demon?

They’re the only creatures that can’t be trusted at all.

Their instinct is to always do evil, betray and nothing good can or has ever been done in history by

those Demons.

Then… why is Astaroth trustworthy and different?

I couldn’t understand, I didn’t understand at all.

Why doesn’t anyone want to explain it to me?

“I hate that everyone thinks I’m a kid and no one explains to me, Drake” I sulked and my friend

laughed, making me raise an annoyed eyebrow.

He quickly raised his hands in surrender “You think they told me? I’m older than you and still don’t

know anything, princess!” He quickly retorted because he knew I was already annoyed with him.

Grumbling because I knew that I couldn’t get mad at him, I just folded my arms across my

chest.

All of this is so annoying….!!!!

And that electric shock… I’ve always felt it, but why won’t anyone explain it to me?!

Argh…!!!!! I felt so pis sed off…….!!!

But I can’t throw tantrums and cluck like a child, because that just shows that I’m still a child. Yes, I

have to show them that I’m trustworthy, that I’m mature enough to deal with this.

“Drake, what should I do to be considered a mature woman?” I asked my friend who was currently

looking confused and raised an eyebrow in confusion.

“What do you mean, Iris?” he asked hesitantly.

“I have to find out who Astaroth is and why he’s here,” I answered firmly and saw him swallow because

he knew that if I wanted something, nothing could stop me from getting it.
