Chapter 374: Soft Spot
Chapter Three Hundred-Seventy-Four – Soft Spot
Stefan had a quizzical expression as he looked at his Beta. Why did the King of Lycan’s Queen concern him and his pack? Why did the Elder have to come here for that?
"How does it concern us?" he asked directly.
Cade rubbed his neck, not wanting to say it directly. His Alpha would definitely not like the answer so it’d be best he figured it out himself.
"Actually, the warriors at High Moon Kingdom had seen her and were the ones who spread the rumors. The Elder was disappointed to not see her at Sigma’s birthday celebration but said he’d encourage the King to go ahead with a wedding because the Kingdom needed a new Queen."
Stefan kept on pulling blanks. How would High Moon Kingdom getting a Queen have anything to do with him? "Please be clear, who does the King want as a—"
And then it hit him. His Laurel? She’s the only one who had paid a visit to the King and had the qualifications to be his Queen.
He felt Kai stir up in him and his expression changed. "Princess Laurel is a werewolfess."
He didn’t want the King to be discriminatory but his hatred for werewolves had been putting Stefan at ease whenever the King dealt with Laurel.
Was this the King’s decision or that Elder was projecting? And how could the lycan warriors assume the only female to visit the King and stay a week with him was a potential queen? Actually, Stefan could see why they’d think so.
