Rejected by the Beta Claimed by the Alpha novel Chapter 11

Chapter 11
“Alex, this is really not good.” Greyson came to him with a storm on his expression. He finally voiced out his displeasure with the way the king had been acting lately.
Yes. Alexander was the king of the El Marca continent. The main island where the shifters lived. He was the lycan king.
The lycan was a royal blood. There were not many of them, but if you saw one, that person must come from royalty and Alex was the king.
“You have been neglecting your duty,” Greyson was not happy with the way Alex chose to play around with that pregnant woman. “What is your goal to stay with her?”
Alexander just returned from Althea’s rented house. This time, he dragged the royal healer to come with him to check on her condition and the baby.
After last night she was having a breakdown, he was afraid that she had hurt herself and the baby in her womb. Thankfully, there was nothing to be worried about, but just like he had predicted, she and the baby were underweight, Althea really needed to take a good care of herself and watch what she ate.
“Why are you being so loud?” Alex was in a good mood because Althea was being a little bit more welcoming with him.
“You will not be able to get to him, let him be,” Northern said. He was the royal beta, while Greyson was the royal g**a. “As long as he didn’t touch alcohol excessively like usual. He will be fine.”
“Are you taking his side?” Greyson growled in annoyance.
Northern didn’t know what Alex found in that pregnant woman, but probably he could guess that. However, there was no harm for the king to take a fancy on her, as long as he stayed sober and started to function again, because truth be told, the last year since he lost his mate and the baby in her womb, he was a complete mess.
“There is no side to take,” Northern said casually.
“Where are you going now?!” Greyson watched Alex was going to leave again.
“I got an invitation to have a dinner somewhere,” Alex said cheerfully.
“You have the best chefs here, but you preferred to eat a small meal inside that small rented house?” Greyson was going on with his complain, but Alex already left, leaving Northern to deal with the g**a.
“Can you calm down?”
“He has been neglecting his duty.”
“Compared to what happen the last year, he is very active now.”
Greyson couldn’t say anything when Northern brought up how Alex was last year. Even ghost would be scared of him.
“Let her to have some fun.”
“What if he took a fancy of that woman?”
“He only feels pity for the pregnant woman. He will come to his sense eventually.”
“No.” Greyson shook his head. “What if he wanted that woman?”
Northern took a moment to answer that question. “No. He knew that he will not be able to take the woman. He is smart enough to know there is no future for the two of them.”

Greyson furrowed his brows. “You know how stubborn Alex could be.”

And both the royal beta and g**a prayed thing wouldn’t turn out to be very complicated later on.
Royal family was rarely seen in public, even though people knew their king’s name, but not all the people had ever met with him in person, unless the king decided to shift into his beast, which was a form of lycan, they wouldn’t know that Alexander was the king.
Even so, the way he carried himself and the authority that he wore like a cloak was hard to ignore. The women would take a second look on his face and tried to think from what noble family he came from.
“For a while,” Althea said when she heard the knock on the door and opened it to see a bouquet of flowers in front of her face and then Alex’s scent hit her, which made her laugh.
It felt so nice to be able to laugh like this. She couldn’t remember when the last time she felt happy.
“Come in.” Althea stepped aside and then let him in.
“The smell is so good. I am hungry.” Alex handed the flower to Althea and then went to the area area. You couldn’t say that this was a dinning area, because of how small this place was.
“Thank you, I just finished roasted a deer meat that you bought.” Althea took a big jar to place the flower. Alex would come with flowers or food, or both.
She didn’t know what to say, but she was very grateful for him.
Can we eat now? I am hungry!” He whined like a child. “You are really a great cook. Do you want to work in the palace?” He asked casually, which made Althea laughed.
“What? Do you know someone from the palace that could take me in?”
Alex grinned. “You can say that I know someone powerful in the palace to let you to be more than just a cook.”
Althea laughed again, but she didn’t indulge in that conversation and started to prepare their dinner, because she really just finished cooking.
“No. Sit down. I will do it.” Alex immediately nudged her to sit down, but he saw how she flinched with his touch, thus he didn’t do it again. He simply stepped in and started to move around the plates and their meat, preparing everything on the table.
“Thank you so much,” Althea said, being very grateful for him.
“Well, if you were really grateful, you need to feed me dinner every day.”
Althea rolled her eyes and started to eat her meal. They were having conversation about trivial thing and when they were done, she heard someone knocked on the door.
“Are you expecting a guest?” Alex asked, as far as he knew, Althea didn’t have friend aside from that woman in the flower shop.
