Chapter 114: You And I Made of Fire
[KAWAI]
"... So I understand why he is weary of me... but Sire, I do not wish him harm. I love him. He is my mate," Gabe said, earnestly in his voice, shocking everyone who knew of him and the Lycan king.
He was admitting to bullying a Lycan and that too in the presence of the insane Lycan king. It wasn’t exactly the best way to create a rapport with the Lycans, and that too on the first day that he was out of his palace.
"Yup, he finally lost his mind," Tamiko voiced as he looked at the werewolf who was trying to fuck around with him right in front of his father, a man who would do whatever it took to protect Tamiko even from himself.
Gabe was putting the lives of the Grealor wolves in danger with this little show he was putting on. If he was rational enough, he could have seen through the glaring red flags that were staring at him, in the middle of Kawai, but he wasn’t.
He was acting like a mate in love with someone who would never choose him and he was here fucking up because a part of him hoped that if he pushed just a little longer Tamiko would choose him, that Tamiko would look at him like he did Tamiko.
"You... You love him?" King Zaffuto asked with a laugh as he stared at Gabriel. He had been expecting a lame attempt at freedom but goodness this wasn’t what he had expected tonight.
"I do, Your Majesty. I am madly in love with him. He is, after all, a werewolf. I met him at the Grealor mating ball and he didn’t reject me. I took that to mean that he was just not ready to embrace the royalty that came with the werewolf alpha’s throne.
"Please your majesty, my intentions for the wolf are pure. I love him, I swear it in my life. He means the world to me, your majesty. Please, do not think differently of me," Gabe said and Tamiko stared at Gabe like the man had truly lost his mind.
