Nikolas POV

I wasn’t expecting Grant to go that far with Joshua.

I planned to scold him when I returned. The lycan Joshua was with said she seduced him. She confessed, and still, Grant felt the need to do this. I had to call him to order.

I did not want Aliana to see things like this. How was she going to hang on when all this was happening? She had already seen herself up there in place of Joshua. I planned to caution Grant because he knew how I felt about Aliana, and I cared about her a lot, parading her kind like that and saying those things were wrong. We were guilty of those things, and I could understand her fears. Grant had spoilt what was meant to be a romantic day for us. I had never gone anywhere with a woman, this would be my first, and Grant ruined it.

Aliana wasn’t her usual happy self throughout our trip, and I couldn’t blame her. I was sure Grant’s words haunted her.

The cattle ranch on Timber was the last place we had to check, and I decided to take Aliana to the stables so she could see the horses there. I had bought the horses from Hill land. She would be excited because they didn’t have horses in Forest.

“Come on,” I said and went into the stables with her. Wanting to be free with her, I ordered Qusack to stand guard and ensure no one entered until we left. Aliana was in awe of the horses. She smiled genuinely for the first time since the horrible scene she saw in the morning.

I was glad we saved the ranch in Timber for last. I wanted her to see all I was doing in Forest, and she approved. Forest was far behind development-wise because of the isolation, but I planned to catch up and surpass the others.

Once we were done admiring the horses, I pinned her against the wall in the stables and k*issed her passionately. “Do not compare what we have to others, Aliana. No one would dare do that to you,” I said and caressed her plump juicy l*ips with my thumb.

Her l*ips had always driven me crazy. It was a sin for a woman to be as beautiful as Aliana, and I was a sinner for wanting and loving her. “Once I am king, I will fix the divide,” I said, and she was speechless.

“To make you happy, no werewolf would be paraded like that again,” I said, trying everything I could to please her and make her happy. There were so many things I wanted to tell her in those minutes, but this wasn’t the time.

The thing I was sure of was that no one would dare parade her like that for getting pregnant with my child. Even if I weren’t King, I would damn the consequences.

“I am scared, Nikolas,” she finally confessed.
