Marked By The Mad King Alpha (Phoebe and Perry) novel Chapter 282

Chapter 282: Chapter 282 Week of Passion

Phoebe’s POV

They had countless tasks ahead with zero time for delays, making their swift departure essential.

"Quit gawking like that—it’s unseemly," Dominic cautioned her. That yearning expression was all too familiar to him.

"Forgive me, I never intended..." Patricia instantly dropped her gaze, looking away from the king’s back. She returned a short while later to swap out the meal, but when she entered, I was still asleep, though someone had already dressed me in my nightgown. It seemed Perry had taken care of that.

Some time passed before I finally began to wake. Patricia rushed to my side, helping me sit upright.

"Are you alright, my queen?" Patricia fluffed the pillows behind me before offering a glass of water.

"I’m fine," I responded glumly, my body still aching from everything Perry had done throughout the night. He hadn’t stopped until sunrise painted the horizon. "Where’s the king?"

"I’m not certain, but I believe he’s meeting with the gamma again."

I felt foolish asking Patricia about Perry’s whereabouts. "Alright. Can you help me to the bathroom?" Nature was calling.

Timothy waited for Harlow at their usual meeting spot. The little girl arrived precisely on time, giggling as she spotted him and wrapping him in a warm hug.

"Here’s your meat, your candy, and your trinkets." Timothy retrieved everything from his pockets, handing each item to Harlow. "Happy now?"

"So happy! Thank you!" Harlow embraced him once more, though her expression quickly turned somber. "But mommy won’t eat the meat. I offered it to her, but she claimed she wasn’t hungry."

The previous day, Harlow had consumed only half her portion, saving the rest for her mother. Timothy had offered to procure additional meat for Jude, but the child had declined.

"Why not?" Timothy’s brow creased. So Jude hadn’t eaten?

"Mommy insisted I should have the meat instead. She said she wasn’t hungry and didn’t like it." Harlow’s sadness deepened.

Naturally, Timothy saw through this lie. He understood exactly why Jude refused the meat. "Did you tell her where you got it?"

"Yes." Harlow nodded. "I said exactly what you told me—that the queen gave me the meat."

Timothy preferred to keep these secret meetings under wraps for now.

Before their conversation could continue, however, a warrior approached with a report...

Despite everything, they remained at the pack the following day, their departure delayed by an extended period. Both Phoebe and Timothy couldn’t have been more thrilled by this decision.
