The King Alpha's Mate

Chapter 52 - Expectations And Disappointments

*Carmela's POV*

Princess Jasmin is anxiously sitting in front of me, waiting for the wizard to tell us what he sees. And when Maleficus finally opened his eyes, we have our gaze glued at him. He looked at her straight in the eyes, before he opened his mouth to speak.

"Princess Jasmin, I apologized for this.. I may need more time to look at this vision again. Because it's still the same. I couldn't see his face or give you his name".

Maleficus dropped his hands on the table and looked apologetically at Princess Jasmin and me.

Even I felt disappointed but I couldn't blame the wizard for that.

Princess Jasmin had turned her head away not wanting to let us see how sad she is with the news. She had been expecting to had a glimpse of her mate's face or just even know his name. But none of those is possible, according to Maleficus.

"H-how could this happened? And why only with me? Am I being punished by the Moon Goddess?

Her voice is brittle and her breathing long. She is upset, I could feel it in my heart. But what could I do to help her?

"Princess Jasmin please don't lose hope, we could maybe find him after your birthday. Or in the next full moon when my powers are stronger. I feel that we could deceive the sorcerer who's cloaking your mate. He is a strong wolf who has a sorcerer by his side".

That brought Princess Jasmin a teensy bit of hope mirrored in the gleam of her eyes. And the tear drops that's she's been fighting to fall, disappeared in completely.

"Is that really going to happen Maleficus? If it is, then I am willing to wait for my birthday to come. Maybe then, the vision will change and the Moon Goddess will grant me in seeing his face".

I sighed knowing it is still unsure but I didn't say anything to disappoint her again. Maleficus smiled and nod his head.

After that we had bid a good night to the old wizard and asked Gemer to take us back. Princess Jasmin was thankful for my companion and before we parted, she threw a question towards me.

"Good night Carmela, thanks for tonight. I am so embarrassed to you being my Queen, because here I am always trying to take most of your time. You were always there for me. I hoped you are doing well with my brother, and I can't stop myself from asking. How does he treated you after the incident? Because he has been preoccupied and not really talking much to me."

It was a casual conversation and a normal question coming from his sister and my closest friend at the moment but I find it a challenging matter to answer.

"Well, everything is alright with him. Except for not having time to do things together like how we used to..but I do understand the situation. I am hoping, King Alpha Jack would find some time for us anytime soon. Would you like me to ask him about your birthday?

Thinking about speaking to Jack about Princess Jasmin and her incoming birthday..i remember to asked her first.

"Oh! No need Carmela please, it is alright. I will speak to him myself, if not personally then maybe through the mind linked. I don't want to to be bothered by that anymore”.

“I do hope you find your mate Jas, if not before then after your birthday. I have faith in the Moon Goddess. She will give you the happiness you deserved after all that we have been to”.

“I hope so too Carmela”.

She sighed and made a short reply.

She gets home first before Gemer finally drove back to my chambers. Getting inside our place was cold and quiet. I wasn't surprised anymore, to find out that he is not home yet. He is maybe not coming home tonight again, like most of the night in this past few weeks.

Nobody told me it is forbidden to make love and Jack have not mention about it. But we have not been doing it ever since the incident, and I assumed it is not going to happen until we finished this mourning.

Finishing my evening rituals and getting ready to bed, I had secretly wished that Jack would be sleeping beside me when I wake up in the morning tomorrow. It had been a tiring day, that when I closed my eyes, I was quickly taken by my dreams.

My sleep was peaceful and well, when I opened my eyes in the morning and glanced at the other side of the huge bed. I gasped loudly in a pleasant surprised when I saw King Alpha Jack sitting in the edge of the bed. Watching me while I begin to shake my feeling of drowsiness. Maybe I am still dreaming.

"Oh, my love? How long has it been since you were looking at me, you could have waken me up."

I smiled getting up from my side of the bed and eagerly took in his appearance, all dressed up. He looked like he's ready for work at the Palace so early in the morning.

"Good morning, I am heading out to secure the borders of the Royal Pack with Beta Michael. I just came to see how you are doing my love... I apologized for not having time to be with you in this past few months".

An apology coming from him is a very easy thing to accept.

His smile was both pleasant and appealing in the morning. The most wonderful thing that happened after so many days without him by my side, I realized how much I've missed him so.

"I have missed you so much, but I do understand your duties as the King Alpha and given the circumstances that we have. It is alright my love”.

He stood up and walked towards me. My heart could almost feel him against my skin. Anticipating the feel of his touch and taking in that familiar scent which I loved so much. He stopped just few inches standing in front of me and looking deep into my eyes.

"The Moon Goddess knows how much I am missing you too."

He finally sat down beside me and pulled me hard crushing me against his arms. I hugged him back with the same passion, we're trying to fill each other up for the many days that we haven't feel the warmth of each others body like this.

"I missed you so much my love, I promised to be here tonight so we could make up for the times that I haven't had you in my arms. And we need to be having a priority of providing an heir to the Kingdom and the Pack".

I stiffened while holding his back and my smile slowly faded. This is the first time Jack not directly asked but i could sense through his words an urgency for an heir. I remember the last time we made love, it lasted almost for the entire day. We spent time together making love and trying to make an heir, if only I have conceived from that time. My stomach would have been two month old.

Jack sounded like he had expected me to have been pregnant from that time. But he doesn't clearly say that he is disappointed. Oh, I really hoped I could get pregnant soon. A baby might be the answer to end his grief and also to overcome the sadness because of the people in the family and in the pack that we have lost.

"Sure we could always do that my love, I'll make good dinner for tonight. I hope you come home early".

I tried my best to pushed those negative thoughts inside my head. I will not ruin this beautiful morning. Tonight i will make sure that i will conceive and get pregnant with our first baby.

If Jack is anxious about an heir, and so am i. I wanted to prove that I'm capable of bearing his child. Because i already heard from the rumors circling around that if a King of the Royal Pack and an Alpha King at that, will not have an heir with his mate, he is most likely to take a mistress wolf. It is necessary to continue the Langstone bloodline. The most significant family in the Royal Pack.

But to continue the Silver Immune gift, she has to be human. I couldn't bear to think about it! Jack getting a human mistress!..

"I will try my best..Carmela, my Queen. I am leaving now. Beta Michael is calling me in the mind linked".

He planted a soft kiss on my lips. The heat from his moist mouth had rendered me asking for more. I parted my lips but he quickly broke the kiss and stand up. A mischievous smile playing in his lips.

"Later tonight my love".

I sat back in the bed blushing as he walked away with a smile. But the thought about him coming back in the night have set me in a really good mood.
