Mated To The Alpha King (Raven and Ethan) novel Chapter 294

Reven’s POV

I went out of my room, as I made my way to Ethan’s room. My stomach was tight.

My steps were fast. My hands were shaking even though I tried to hide it.

I kept telling myself the same thing again and again. I can’t afford to let him take that gold digger as his mate while I am still here, well and alive. It will never happen.

Not after everything we have been through. Not after everything I know.

The hallway felt longer than usual. Every guard I passed made me even more nervous. Some looked away quickly.

Some bowed their heads a little. Some pretended not to see me. I didn’t care. I kept moving. My wolf kept pacing in my head.

Tell him the truth. Tell him before it is too late.

I swallowed hard. My breath was fast, but I didn’t slow down. I reached the door to his room. I didn’t even wait. I pushed it open and walked in.

Ethan was sitting on his bed. His phone was in his hand. His eyes were glued to the screen like nothing was happening.

Like he wasn’t about to destroy me with one stupid decision. Like he wasn’t about to bring another woman into his life and push me aside again.

He raised his head slowly when he heard me walk in. His eyes were calm. Too calm.

Reven, what is wrong? he asked. His tone was cold again. Empty. As if he had no idea what storm he had created. As if the rumors were nothing.

As if he wasn’t about to accept another woman who dared to call herself his mate.

I couldn’t believe he was acting so relaxed.

I asked him if what I was hearing was true. He stared at me for a moment, then asked, What did you hear?My anger rose so fast it shocked me. I felt heat in my chest.

Don’t act dumb with me. You know exactly what I am talking about.

He lifted one eyebrow a little. His expression didn’t change.

If you don’t speak up, how am I going to know what you mean? he said

My jaw dropped a little. So that was how he wanted to play this. He wanted to make me say it. He wanted to pretend he had no idea what I was talking about. Fine

Since

you want to act dumb, let me ask you clearly, I said. Why do you want to accept that woman that came today as your mate?Ethan let out a slow breath. His shoulders relaxed a little.

Oh, that he said. I wanted to come and tell you, but I am still weak.

I took a step closer. My voice shook.

Just go straight to the point. Are you accepting that woman or not? He looked down at his phone for a second and then back at me. He didn’t look sorry. He didn’t look confused. He looked sure.

Yes, I am accepting her, he said

It felt like the room shook.

Every part of me broke at once. My throat closed. My chest was tight.

Why. Why do you want to accept her? Just because she came here claiming she is your mate, you want to accept her.

What will happen to me and my kids? What about everything we have been through? Why do you always want to hurt me?My voice broke. Tears slipped down my cheek before I could stop them.

“Listen,” Reven, Ethan said, trying to get my attention.

I am accepting that woman because of my pack. You were there the day the seer told me if I don’t look for my second chance mate and mark her before the full moon, I would lose my wolf, and you know what hat that means,” he said.

“And what are you trying to say, Ethan?” I asked, fighting the tears. “Look, I still love you, Reven, and also the kids.

am just accepting this woman because of my pack, and trust me, am not going to treat you or the kids any less. You have my word.“I was not buying it. I was tired of his calm tone. Tired of his cold voice. Tired of him acting like he was the victim.

I will never allow you accept that lady as your mate, I said. Never

Ethan looked at me and asked, Can I ask you why

My hands tightened into fists. The truth pushed into my throat. My wolf was screaming the words. My heart was pounding the same four words again and again

Tell him the truth now

I opened my mouth.

The words were coming out before I could stop myself
