Chapter 261 - The Interrupted Eavesdropping

This realization calmed me down. Michael’s mood was the same as mine. He would not accept others as his mate.

I turned slightly and saw that Sasha gestured for me to look at one of the screens. I followed the direction of her finger and saw that the screen was showing the office where the King and Michael were.

I saw the King sitting in front of the table with an air of authority. Michael was standing in front of him with both hands on the table, clearly agitated.

“I already have a mate! I won’t accept anyone else,” Michael roared.

Compared to Michael, the Lycan King was much calmer. “I heard that you brought back a werewolf. Don’t worry. I’ve made good arrangements for her and won’t let her suffer any grievances.

“But she’s not suitable to be your wife. This place doesn’t belong to her. Find the right time to send her back to her pack. That’s her real home.”

I could feel the fire in my heart burning even more fiercely.

I tried to comfort Michael in my heart. Although the King’s words made me very uncomfortable, I didn’t want Michael to go against his father.

Taking a step back, even if Michael had nothing, I would still be willing to be with him. We could leave this place and go far away.

However, the family would always be family. No matter how bad the situation was, we might still have to reconcile in the end. I didn’t want Michael to have to choose between us.

“Michael, my son.” The Lycan King sighed and said, “You’re not an ordinary royal Lycan. You’re a prince. While you enjoy your status, you also have responsibilities to bear.

“Your brother’s matter has broken my heart. He could have become the undisputed king, but his actions have made many people dissatisfied and unwilling to support him on the throne. I’m already old. You’re brothers, so you have to help your brother. And you can only do this if you’re with a noble lady.”

“I will support Brandon. However, I will never accept another woman,” Michael said firmly.

“I understand you don’t want to give up your mate.” The King did not give up trying to persuade him. “You can still keep that she-wolf by your side. Your mate can enhance your strength and better control your beast, but you must marry a noble lady. In public, you must have a noble wife.”

My heart skipped a beat when I heard what the Lycan King said.

What was the difference between the Lycan King’s suggestion and what Robert had done to me?

He wanted Michael to have two mates at the same time. One had a legal identity and enjoyed all the glory; The other was hidden at home as a tool to enhance Michael’s strength.

I couldn’t help but shudder at this. If they treated me like this, what was the difference between that and raising a dog?

I couldn’t accept that fate.

Even though I knew Michael’s feelings for me, I still felt uneasy about Michael’s answer.

I hoped he would sternly reject this ridiculous proposal, but I was also terrified of the King’s might. If he didn’t like me, my future in the palace wouldn’t be easy.

I held my breath, and just as I was about to listen to what Michael had to say, I suddenly heard a stern shout.

“What are you two doing?”

My body trembled, and I missed the conversation between Michael and the King.

I turned around and looked at the source of the voice. I saw an ashen-faced Samuel standing at the door and walking quickly toward us. While I was still in a daze, he took off my headphones and put them on his head.

I saw Samuel’s expression tense up. A few seconds later, he put down his headphones and said, “What did you guys just hear?”

Before I could say anything, Sasha had already taken off her earphones.

She interrupted me and said to Samuel, “We didn’t hear anything. Didn’t you hear it yourself just now? There was nothing but the sound of electric currents.”

Samuel looked suspiciously at Sasha, but the latter looked calm.

Suddenly, Samuel looked at me with distrust. I wasn’t as mentally strong as Sasha, so I lowered my head and looked at my shoes.

“Hmph,” he snorted. Samuel lowered his head and began to check the operating table full of buttons.

“If there’s nothing else, we’ll take our leave.” Sasha grabbed my hand and wanted to escape.

“Wait.” Samuel continued to play around with the buttons, and his tone was as cold as ice that had not melted for years.

“What now?” Sasha stopped and turned back to look at Samuel.

“I know you are not telling me the truth. It’s my fault for letting you in today. I’ll write my reflection on this matter and report it,” Samuel said.
