Mated to the Alpha: Sold to the King novel Chapter 98

Chapter 98: 0098

Lorelei POV

Oh God.

Oh goodness.

What was that? What the hell was that?

The questions screamed through my head as I practically power-walked down the hallway.

Behind me, Isaac wore a thoroughly confused expression as he hurried to keep up with my sudden, frantic change of pace.

I had literally just insisted that I needed to go to Kaelen’s office to properly thank him one more time for letting Paul go. But who would’ve thought I’d walk in on him and his Beta being... that intimate?

So...

the Alpha King was actually gay?

But that didn’t make any sense. He had kissed me. He had slept with me.

Except...

I gasped, clutching my chest as a memory slammed into me like a freight train.

"Because you are a..."

Those were his exact words from the night I got lost in the woods. He had never gotten to finish that sentence, but thinking back on it now... did he mean because I was a girl?

My eyes widened.

That would explain so much.

It explained why we had only slept together twice. The first time, he had been heavily drugged, and the second time was in his office, where Darius had just so happened to conveniently walk in on us.

It explained the ridiculously thick tension between the two of them every time I was around.

It explained why neither of them ever had women by their sides.

Who knew?

Maybe that was the real reason his mate had left him in the first place.

The more I thought about it, the more everything started falling into place.

Oh my God.

The signs were practically slapping me across the face.

The Alpha King was gay.

And he was secretly tangled up in some messy relationship with his own Beta.

"Hey!"

My heart shot straight into my throat at the sound of Kaelen’s deep voice echoing down the corridor.

I glanced over my shoulder for only a split second, just long enough to catch sight of him striding toward me with an intense look on his face.

Panic exploded inside my chest, and without thinking, I immediately picked up my pace until I was practically sprinting down the hallway.

"Stop right there!" he commanded.

The surrounding guards reacted instantly to the Alpha command in his voice. They stepped into my path before I could get any farther, cutting off every possible escape route.

Well... crap.

I cursed silently under my breath before slowly turning around to face him.

He was already standing right in front of me.

Before I could even get a single word out, his fingers wrapped around my wrist, and he pulled me into a secluded corner before pinning me gently against the wall.

"I’m so sorry!" I blurted, the words tumbling out in a panicked rush. "I didn’t mean to walk in on you! I didn’t mean to see that! I swear to the Moon Goddess I won’t tell a single soul!"

"Enough," Kaelen interrupted sharply.
