The Ruthless Lycan King Fell For His Slave Mate novel Chapter 42

As soon as Zero saw Devon, he recognised him as the Alpha of the Red Moon Pack and Lyra’s former mate. He went over to them and stood right next to Lyra, looking down at Devon with a hard look. “What do you think you are doing?”

“What is it to you?” Devon snapped, giving him a glare. “This is between me and her, mind your own business.”

“You are the one who should learn manners and mind your business,” Zero told him. “Respect the king’s guard or you’ll find yourself enjoying the ceremony from the dungeons.”

“The king’s what?” Devon looked from Zero and then to Lyra. Surely, he didn’t mean her. He looked back at Zero. “I have no issue with you,” he told him. He pointed an accusing finger at Lyra. “This female is from my pack, and she dared to insult me. It’s within my rights to discipline her how I see fit.”

Zero took a step closer to Zero, his eyes narrowing. “Oh. You have the right to discipline the king’s personal bodyguard? You must be very important, forgive me for not realising that.”

Devon scoffed. “Are you saying that she is the king’s bodyguard?”

“You’ve got hearing problems?”

“Is that what she told you? Or are you telling lies to protect her because you’ve been fucking her?” Devon asked condescendingly. “This female is a cursed slave, the last place she would be is by the king’s side. Look, maybe you don’t know her real identity.” At this point, he lifted his hand, meaning to give Zero a pat on his shoulder. “Let me tell you the truth–”

Zero grabbed his hand and snapped his wrist backwards. He released it just before he could break it. Then, he allowing his aura to burst forth, revealing his rank. “I am Alpha Zero of the Azure Pack, and the king’s cousin. I’ll not warn you twice. Disrespect the king’s guard one more time and you’ll no longer be treated like a guest.”

Realising the gravity of Devon’s mistake, Allison quickly stepped forward and held Devon’s arm. “We are sorry, it was a misunderstanding,” she apologised to Zero. “We did not mean to cause any trouble.”

The Red Moon Pack was already in trouble. The last thing they needed was to anger a member of the royal family. If Lyra was indeed the king’s guard, their aggression towards her could be seen as an affront to the Lycan King himself.

Devon’s nostrils flared as he tried to control himself. Dammit! What was it with Lyra and all these royal assholes? Begrudgingly, he let Allison lead him away towards the banquet hall. It was fine. He would give it another go later.

About half an hour later, all the guests had arrived and it was time for the ceremony to begin. With everyone settled in the banquet hall, it was time for the king and his fiancee to make their appearance.

Lyra followed behind them, her eyes glued to their joined hands. They smiled at each other before stepping into the hall to the applause of the crowd. It was like a scene from a fairy tale. Compliments flew in from left to right.

“What a beautiful couple!”

“Miss Black is very beautiful indeed!”

“Finally, His Majesty found his match!”

“This is a match made by the Goddess herself!”

“The kingdom is blessed indeed.”
