The Werewolf King’s Mate
Chapter 44

Unknown's POV

Oh, goddess! It pissed me off that I didn't even get to put a scratch on that b*ich when I saw her the last time. She looked so happy. It was annoying seeing her smile and hearing her laugh. And she was still with her little friend-such a faithful follower. Ugh! I want to get out of this sh*t hole already. My hair is a mess, my hands look wrinkly, and my face! I haven't been under the sun for so long, and now, I look pale and dry. I should talk to Laura to at least take me to a salon. Then, I heard the door slam. Oh! Perfect timing! "Laura! Hey, take me to a salon. I need a spa and a makeover. Just look at my hair, nails, and beautiful face!"

"SHUT UP!!"

"Ohh...someone's in a bad mood. What happened this time?"

"That b*tch got Lucas wrapped around her fingers! Who the hell does she think she is?!"

"Tss. I told you. She's a si*t!"

"I wore this dress and put on my make up for what? To get dissed by Lucas? Damn it! On top of it all, his men saw the whole thing! Ugggh!"

"Poor Laura. Don't worry! She'll get what she deserves soon!"

"That f*cking b*tch! When will the potion even be ready?

What's the update from the witch?"

"She told me it would be ready. She just tested it out, and so far, it worked. She now needs to observe how long the potion will last." "How did you know it worked?"

"Well, I heard from my source that rogues attacked a pack.

And! The glaring part is that the bait didn't smell like a rogue. Always visit Ebookex.com for more novels. She smelled fine, so the guards were not appalled or alarmed. They lowered their guards, then boom! Rogues jumped from the bushes and attacked them." "Tell her to do it fast. I needed to make Lucas mine and be queen before she could finish her classes."

"Patience, my dear friend. You'll have your king and crown soon! And I expect a generous reward from you, Your Majesty."

"Of course! Just ensure it won't fail, or else we're all dead."

"Just trust me on this!"

"Fine! I will go back to the palace. Don't go out. We already risked it one time. We cannot add more suspicion to us."

"Got it! But at least bring me some skincare next time."

She just took off. I wouldn't let her treat me this way if she didn't help me when I was "away." If not for her, I would have been a prisoner somewhere in the unknown. So, 1 must be patient and even suck it up to her. Now, I just need that witch to work faster. I went upstairs and took my phone to dial her number. It was ringing. She takes her time to answer my calls. I heard a beep, and it went to her voicemail. I redialed her number.

Again, it just rang.

"What the heck is wrong with this woman?!"

tried calling again. On my fifth try, she finally answered.

"What was that about? I have been trying to reach you since a while ago!"

"Hold your tails, Wolf! I had detectives tailing me, and just a while ago, they knocked on my door!"

"Oh, shoot! And then what?"

"They were asking questions about the recent rogue attack.

They asked if I knew anything about it or if I noticed something peculiar. Of course, I denied knowing anything.

BUT! One of the detectives noticed my phone buzzing, and they were getting suspicious. Damn you!"

"Alright, good! What did you tell them? And did they search your house? What else did they say?"

"I just bluffed and told them it was my ex-boyfriend wanting to get back together. It seemed solid because they stopped asking about it. And no, they didn't. If they did search my house, they would not replace anything." "Whew! They were so close! You did a good job right there!

So, how are the potions?"

"Tss. Your potions are fine, OK? I hid them somewhere. But I have to keep a low profile for a while. Therefore, it will take longer than usual."

"Can't you do anything about it? I need it as soon as possible!"

"Woman! Didn't you hear what I just said?! I have guards trailing me!! If I am not careful, I am dead! If I am dead, your potion will be gone! Forever!" Beep! Beep! Beep!

Did that witch just hang up on me?! Huh! The audacity of this witch! If I had the option, I would kill her myself! Tss. I wouldn't even need her if I didn't need that potion to cover Laura's scent so she could seduce the king. Laura's POV:

After that humiliating act, I stormed out of the arena and returned home. What did Lucas even see in that woman? I am better than her in any way! Men would kneel and beg for my attention, but him! And for what?! An omega like her?!

I need to get that potion fast. It will be my only way to get Lucas and the throne. I will leave it to the woman to talk to the witch. She has some powerful connections, so I know she would do something. For now, we will be a good friend to the king's cousin. Tss. Why do I have to be dragged into this planning? I only approached and befriended Renee because I knew she was the cousin of Lucas.

On my way to the palace, I was walking around town, and men couldn't stop staring at me. See! I can make them bow down to me! According to the staff, they were all in the great hall. I stopped in my tracks when I heard Lucas' voice inside. He's here! "I brought food for everyone." "Thank you, Lucas!"

Thank you, Lucas! Her voice is annoying! I heard them rustling inside, but I didn't dare enter yet. I just had a brilliant idea. If I can't sway Lucas, let's plant doubt on his precious mate. I went to the restroom quickly and ruffled my hair a little bit. I am pulling an after- s*x look. I entered the hall a few minutes later, and I made a quick scan of the people around me.

Perfect! Lucas changed his clothes, and he looked fresh out of the shower!

"Oh no! I'm sorry, everyone! Did I miss a lot? I went somewhere, and things got, hm, heated up." I acted bashful and looked at Lucas.

"Where have you been?"

"Just somewhere. A little rendezvous." I smirked and looked over at Lucas and then at his mate. The way she looked at him....poor girl. The seed has been planted. "So, what did I miss?"

"Not much! We took a break since Lucas also just got here and brought snacks." Oh, my dear friend, Renee.

"Oh, really? If I had known you'd come here, I would have asked for a ride!"

"Did you meet somewhere?"

"No!" Lucas was quick to answer. And his mate had been quiet for a while now. She keeps stealing glances at Lucas and then me.

"I just happened to see him in the arena. That's all."

"What were you doing near the arena, Laura?" One of the twins is catching up, huh?

"A friend of mine called. He just wanted to see me."

"And who's that friend of yours?" Ha ha ha! Ellie's interrogating me.

"That's a secret, little Ellie. But like I said, he's a friend of mine. We've been friends since a few years ago. We met a couple of times to... never mind."

I'll let them think whatever they want. What matters is this b*ich is getting riled up. I can see it from the look of her face. Lucas seemed to notice his mate's behavior. "Shall we go home, babe?"

"But we're still discussing the anniversary."

"You can go ahead, Cory! We'll pick up where we left off when we meet next week," Renee assured her.

"Hmm. OK! Thank you, Renee! Goodbye, everyone!"

"Goodbye, Lucas! Oh, I mean, His Majesty." Giving me a flirty wave.

"And to you as well, Her Majesty. I'll see you next week."

Both of them exited the hall. Soon enough, I also said goodbye to everyone and took off. However, before I could exit the palace, someone grabbed my arms.

"Stop whatever you're planning. I could see what you're trying to do there."

"What? I wasn't doing anything, Ellie dear." I batted my eyelashes and played innocent.

"Stay away from Lucas and Cory!"

"Make me! And Renee will know you just threatened me.

What do you think she'll say?"

That would shut her up. Even though Renee is not the queen, she still holds the title of "Princess." I turned around and walked out of the palace to my car. Oh, Lucas. Just wait, and then, you'll be mine!
