Marked By The Mad King Alpha (Phoebe and Perry) novel Chapter 192

Chapter 192: Chapter 192 You Will Keep The Baby

Phoebe’s POV

I felt a warm surge of satisfaction when a warrior approached me, gratitude written across his weathered face. He thanked me for my swift action during the crisis—without my intervention, he would have lost his wolf spirit forever, ending his days as a warrior for good.

Since I still couldn’t speak, I simply nodded and gestured that I was glad he was okay.

The pack members began viewing me differently. I wasn’t the helpless, hopeless figure they’d assumed I was.

Word had spread that I lacked a wolf spirit, though the reason remained a mystery to everyone.

This shift in perception about me had also transformed how people saw the king.

Particularly when they witnessed Perry’s gentle treatment of me—a side of the Mad King they’d never imagined existed.

"No matter how brutal you are, you become the most tender creature for your mate."

"I spotted the king yesterday, braiding Queen Phoebe’s hair. They looked adorable together."

"The other day, I watched him scolding a warrior, but the moment Queen Phoebe walked over and spoke to him, his entire tone softened."

These conversations filled the air recently. Lynn and Rosa shared all the gossip with me, practically swooning over the idea of finding someone like the king someday.

"Though please, make him less terrifying. I still shake when the king’s in the same room. His presence is overwhelming," Lynn admitted with a visible shudder.

The sisters continued their chatter while I listened, occasionally adding my thoughts. We stirred a healing brew together.

The warriors were recovering well, which had lightened our workload considerably.

Speak of the devil—Rosa nearly dropped her ladle when she spotted the king heading our way. She elbowed her sister to stop talking, worried he might overhear their conversation from this distance.

Their concern was unnecessary. Perry’s attention was completely fixed on me. He didn’t even register their presence as he leaned down to kiss my cheek.

Instead, his lips found mine when I turned my head at just the right moment, curious about what had captured the sisters’ wide-eyed stares.

My mate stood behind me.

"Oops. Didn’t realize you wanted me to kiss you so badly. Good instincts." Perry captured my lips again before I could object.

The situation heated up quickly. When he refused to release me, Rosa and Lynn took the hint and slipped away before getting caught in the steaminess.

I pushed him back gently, signaling for him to stop, then mouthed: *What?*

Perry pressed a soft kiss to my nose tip, his eyes drinking in my swollen lips with obvious satisfaction. He smirked. "Let’s head back to the palace. You’re done here. Those healers you recruited can manage everything."

I knew this moment would come eventually, but leaving felt difficult now. I’d grown attached to this place. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
