Mated To The Alpha King (Raven and Ethan) novel Chapter 103

Chapter 103

Alpha Ethan POV

“What the hell are you doing here?” Lasked, imitation biting through my voice the venom Matthew didn’t reply. He just stood there, shoulders stiff, his eyes burning into me like they could pierce through flesh and bone.

But what made my blood simmer was this silence; it was the look in those eyes. Hatred. Cold and loud. And it tore through me deeper than any words could. This was my beta. My best friend since childhood. My brother by bond, by battles fought, by blood spilled side by side.

And yet, here he stood, glaring at me like I was his sworn enemy All because of that shit if a traitor, I moved from behind my desk, crossing my arms as t leaned against it “You deal now, Motilvew?” Ubarked. “Lasked what the fuck you’re doing in my room.” unsinnounced Lasked him, narrowing my eyes at him. His jaw tightened,

Still, no words. I was losing patience last, and the heat behind thy ribs was faring. I was still on edge after what happened in the cell. Still haunted by the sound of Raven’s head hitting the wall. Still poisoned by the image of blood seeping from her forehead.

1 should’ve left her there to rot, yet my wolf had whimpered for her Matthew finally spoke. His voice wasn’t loud, but the weight it carried hit hard.“1 heard what happened between you and Raven” at the cell, he added. blinked slowly, raising a brow, my fists tightening “So7” So I want to know why do you hate her so much?” Ethan, why are you this mean and cold–hearted towards her..

His question sliced through the silence, and I laughed bitterly, “Hate her?” I scoffed. “That’s none of your fucking business.“His face contorted in disbelie “None of my business? “I’m the one who brought her into this pack, I continued, pushing off the desk. “That makes her my responsibility.

“My slave and also my tool” I told him and I could see he was trying hard not to attack me

I have every right to treat her however I see fit.““Like a slave!” he snapped. “Like a punching bag? That’s what you call responsibility now? You don’t get to question me,” I growled. “You have no say over how I deal with her. His nostrils flared, and his voice turned icy. “I didn’t help her because I pitied her, Ethan. Don’t twist this into your usual crap. I helped her because she saved your life.”

The words hit like a whip. I felt my jaw lock, and the veins in my neck tightened “Don’t you fucking remind me of that bullshit?” I spat, stepping closer to him. “That stunt she pulled saved me; it was just part of her manipulation.A traitor’s way of crawling into my good graces.“She’s not a traitor,” Matthew said firmly. “You know she’s not.“My eyes darkened. “Don’t fucking defend her to me, Matthew will if I have to

“Ichuckled darkly: “Why are you so damn obsessed with her? Since when did you start playing the doting lover boy? You of all people. You never cared what I did with women before.

You were always the one laughing, telling me I was too soft. So why the sudden heart for this one?““Because this one matters,” he snapped, stepping up until we were chest to chost. “You don’t see her, Ethan. You only see the lies Olivia feeds you “don’t bring her into this” I snapped at him You only see what you want to believe.

But Raven, she’s strong. She’s brave. And she’s broken. But she still fights. You treat her like dirt while she walks around carrying scars she got for protecting you.“You think I care?” I growled.

*You think I give a shit about her scars? You think Lasked her to save me? I never needed her help. She did that to get in, She’s manipulative,

She’s just another scheming whore. “Matthew’s eyes went wild with rage. “Watch your mouth, Ethan.““Or what?” I hissed. “You’ll hit me? For her?No.

But I will take her from you. The room fell still. My heartbeat thundered like war drums in my ears.“What did you just say?” I asked, low and deadly.

“I said,” he leaned in, his voice barely al

a whisper, “I’ll take her away from you.

Forever, Red. I saw red.I lunged at him, fists up, ready to tear into him. All those years of brotherhood? Gone in an instant.

Alll saw was a man trying to steal something’someone that belonged to me. Rayer was mine.

My slave. My property. My fucking burden, but just as was about to strike, the door burst open Without a knock. Without a warning And in walked via My Luna.

Chapter 103

Her presence slammed into the room like a cold wind, halting everything. My fist fine in mid air. Matthew stepped back instantly, his facer un turned slowly, dread crawling up my spine.

Olivia stood there in a sleek black dress, her hali perfectly styled, and her lips painted blood–sed as always. But her expression wasn’t the one of cam grace she usually wore. No, this time, she looked furious “What’s going on here?” she demanded, her tone sharp and cutting straightened up, running e hand through my hair, trying to rein in my anger. “It’s nothing. Just a disagreement.”

With fists raised?” she arched a brow Matthew folded his arms and looked away, his jaw bwitching Olivia’s eyes flicked between us like she was reading more than what was being said. “I could hear your voices from the hallway,” she said, stepping further in. “What is this about?““Ask your darling Alpha, Matthew muttered “Enough,” Ibarked.

“This is none of your concen. Olivia. Her eyes narrowed, lips curling as she rested her hands on my chest.

Matthew still stood there and I could still see the anger in his eyes but he was trying so hard not to let it out.

now if you may excuse me Mathew, I have something to do I told him grabbing Olivia by the waist.
