The Alpha King’s Human Mate

Chapter 84 Chapter 84

“Having something and losing it, it’s much crueler than never having had it?)

Victoria Schwab

Griffin knew one thing: he hated playing politics. It was one thing to get your hands (and fur) dirty in the midst of dealing

with a political problem, but standing in a room with middle-aged men droning on about insignificant disputes?

He would rather tear his hair out with his claws.

Unfortunately, playing politics came with the crown, It was tolerable most days, but tonight, he was feeling particularly on

edge. This night was supposed to be for his mate, his little fox. Every moment that he was away from her side felt like an

eternity, and the balding man

rambling about pack lines in front of him certainly didn’t help.

When this conversation is over, I swear I’m throwing her over my shoulder and taking her to the bedroom. I don’t care if

the entire castle hears… actually, I do care. There’s no way in hell anyone besides me will hear what my little fox sounds

like when she moans, Griffin thought to himself.

In the back of his mind, Griffin felt his wolf stirring awake. Chapter 84

You could just tear off all their ears, his wolf rumbled inside of his head. They don’t need them. That way, we’ll be the only

ones who ever hear the

lovely sound of her voice again.

At that moment, Griffin couldn’t help but think that didn’t sound like a terrible plan. It’d be worth it as long as he got to

be buried inside his little fox’s pussy, got to hear the way her breath caught when she orgasmed.

And now he was hard ~ great.)

Not that the man in front of him — Alpha John? Alpha James? – seemed to notice that Griffin’s mind had strayed. It was

only when he could no longer hear the man’s monotone voice that Griffin realized he was waiting for a response.

“The pack lines have been drawn for centuries,” Griffin said, “There’s no reason to move them now. You’ll be encroaching

on someone else’s territory, and unless you get clearance from the neighboring Alpha, they’ll stay where they are.”

Alpha John ~ or James, whatever the fuck his name was ~ seemed satisfied enough with his answer. And if he was

unhappy, he certainly wasn’t stupid enough to complain about it in front of him.

No, just stupid enough to take away time I could be spending at my mate’s

side, Griffin grumbled silently.

“If that’s all,” Griffin sai

“Of course, of course,” the man nodded profusely, “Thank you for your time, Your Majesty. Your opinion on this matter is

highly-valued.” He bowed his head in respect a final time as Griffin made his exit.

Now, I’ve just got to find my mate.
