The Raven Wolf King: Wolfless novel Chapter 50

Chapter 50

~Valeria~

A party. They threw a ball to celebrate Grimm’s imprisonment.

Raphael told me what was said at the meeting with the King— that this ball was not only about Grimm. Still, it feels absurd.

Now Raphael and Tobias sit alone on the thrones. The King has yet to arrive.

“As certain as I am sure that my mate is the love of my life.” I hear Godfrey speak with another. “No doubt in my mind that the young man is the killer.” He repeats those words to anyone who will listen.

Idiot.

“You know, you always seem to be in a bad mood.” Stephan startles me when his voice is so close to my ear. I turn around with a jolt.

“That’s because I usually am.”

“Would you care for a dance?” he asks.

“You always look so beautiful. Fit to be a queen,” Stephan says.

I almost laugh out loud. “Me? Queen? Not so sure about that.”

“Well, you’d be my queen if I were ever on the throne.”

“Good thing you’re not King. Why would you even want to be?”

“Well, I don’t know. Being able to do whatever you want is one.”

“I’m pretty sure that would be a secondary perk. Your first priority would be to your kingdom. A king is nothing without his subjects, so that’s where a king’s responsibilities lie.”

“You’re so smart. It’s intriguing.” He playfully smiles. “In a parallel world, you’re definitely my queen.”

I roll my eyes and smile.

We continue dancing, and the conversation shifts. “So Grimm was accused of murdering the princes?” he asks.

“It wasn’t him.”

His response catches me off guard. “I believe you.”

“You do?”

“Yeah. I trained with him. He doesn’t seem like the type. 18:46

“So, do you like my dress? It was picked by someone with great taste.” I beam at him.

The corner of his mouth lifts. “Oh, I love it. Whoever it was has impeccable taste for sure.”

It was him. He picked my dress.

He draws in a deep breath. “How I want to kiss you so much right now.”

“Well, you’re the one who wants to keep this a secret. I have to wear this ridiculous scarf to hide the marks on my neck-which, by the way, ruins my outfit.”

“It doesn’t. You look great. And I just want to keep you safe.”

“I am safe. I’m pretty sure the killer isn’t after me. You’re the one in danger.”

“Speaking of danger, once that clock hits midnight, do your thing. I’ll be ready.”

I know what he speaks of, and I’m nervous.

“Just in case, make sure to protect your eyes,” I tell him.

“Uhm… okay, but I trust you… I think.” He doesn’t sound too confident.

She rolls her eyes. “Whatever. But… I wanted to ask you something else.”
