Marked By The Mad King Alpha (Phoebe and Perry) novel Chapter 289

Chapter 289: Chapter 289 Misread Moment

Phoebe’s POV

I could see the conflict on Timothy’s face. He knew he couldn’t delay this situation any longer - he needed a plan if Jude refused to accompany him.

The idea of losing her again after finally finding his mate clearly disturbed him, so he had to discover the perfect approach to share the news and convince her to come.

From what I knew of Timothy, he possessed enough cunning to get what he wanted when necessary, but I could tell using manipulation didn’t feel right to him. He seemed determined not to be deceitful with his mate.

"So? How will you break it to her?" I waited for Timothy’s response.

"I have no clue," Timothy admitted honestly. "Zero idea. I can’t tell if she’d want to come with me or not." He dragged his hands across his face roughly, then gave me a helpless look. "What if she refuses? What happens then?"

I shrugged casually. "Then you’ll be stuck in a long-distance relationship," I said with a light tone, which made Timothy’s eyes go wide.

"Absolutely not! No way I want that!" Timothy stared at me like I’d just delivered devastating news. "I can’t stand being separated from her." He frowned deeply and muttered under his breath. "Maybe I should abandon my position to stay here?"

Now it was my turn to react strongly. "Not happening!" I felt genuinely upset because I knew Perry was already struggling without a proper royal beta, and if Timothy abandoned his role, Perry would be in an even worse situation.

"What options do I have..." Timothy looked down dejectedly. "I just discovered my mate... or could you convince Perry to extend our stay here? Maybe for much longer?" He raised his head and gazed at me hopefully.

"For much longer?" That’s when I realized Perry had been toying with me. I tapped his head lightly. "Perry would tear you apart if you made that request."

Timothy gave me puppy-dog eyes. "That’s exactly why I need your help with this. You have a mate too, so you must understand my feelings right now."

"I don’t." I shot him a judgmental look, narrowing my eyes. "Are you trying to manipulate me?" I felt like I was walking straight into a trap. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Since Perry would listen to me, Timothy was using me to speak with Perry and get his way.

"No, I’m not." Timothy blinked innocently, though nothing about this man was innocent - if anything, he was far too manipulative for my taste. "Pleaseee..." He drew out the word and looked at me with genuine pleading.

I considered it briefly. "I’ll talk to Jude instead and see if I can convince her to come with us."

Timothy’s eyes brightened immediately. "Yes, that works perfectly!" He looked thrilled. "Thank you, Phoebe, you’re the best queen!" Then he added, "If Jude still refuses to come with you, you could use your luna voice on her."
