Contract With The Alpha King by Brey Mitchylle

Chapter 83 private. And Fiona agreed..

"Vampires?" Fiona snorted. "You wanted to find vampires to help your brother?" She looked at Marius, keeping a careful distance between them. After his unexpected claim that they could change their current dislike for each other, he had asked to speak with her in "Yes, vampires" Marius replied, crossing his arms. "They're the only ones capable of stopping Lycans, and they know how to stay hidden. That's why they've managed to survive so long. They've existed for centuries, maybe longer, and know nearly every hidden place on earth."

Fiona

narrowed her eyes, taking a cautious step forward. "Why are you telling me this?"

Marius shrugged, his gaze steady. "Because you have a right to know. Besides, I'm aware of your marriage to Elijah," he added, watching her reaction. "At this moment, he's speaking to the council, trying in convince them to seek out the vampires"

Her eyes widened as she absorbed his work. "Elijah is actually doing that? Why would he take such a risk?"

Marius raised an eyebrow, giving her a knowing look. "burk it obvious?" he replied. "He's doing it because he loves you."

Fiona's breath caught, and for a moment, she simply stared at him, caught off guard. She glanced away, processing this unexpected revelation. The tension around them grew, thick and unspoken, as she turned her attention back to him. "And you're certain of this?" she asked, her voice steady, her gaze sharp

Manis nodded. "He's defying the council, our mother. everyone. He wouldn't risk that for anyone else."

Fiona hesitated, considering his words. "But the vampires?" she muttered, half to herself "Elijah would seek them out, knowing what they are?"

"Because it's you, Friona Mamas replied, his eyes unflinching "And Elijah won't give up, not when he believes he can protect you." He paused, watching her reaction carefully. "He's willing to take that risk. So, the question is, are you?" Fiona's gaze narrowed as she studied Marius. "But why are you telling me all this? You've never shown any interest in helping me or Elijah before. heides, I cannot fight against vampires," Fiona snorted. Was he asking for her help? Manus's lips curved slightly, "Simple. If you're willing to cooperate, I'll help Elijah find the vampires. But first, you need to agree to something."

She crossed her arms, her eyes fixed on him "What do you want?"

Marius leaned in, his gaze sharp. "I want Elijah out of the palace. I want him removed from any claim to the throne."
