Not My Fault
King Ralph's POV
I keep a low profile.
I still can't believe this happened to me. Never did I think of cheating on Saray, there was no woman attractive enough in my eyes to share the bed with. Saray is everything to me, for months I have waited for the moment of our physical love. Even now I get all kinds of visions of how that will all come about, the way I'll drive her crazy between under me.
We were supposed to make arrangements the day after her coronation and I knew that night she would be mine. But she went into labor and that Jasper treated me like nothing. He made sure everyone around was aware that the pups were his, was unwilling to share the moment of their birth with me and just forced me into the background of it all. I stood in the maternity room against the wall as if I didn't belong there. No one involved me in the birth of the Crown Princes. The pain went deep, the Moon Goddess indicated to everyone that I would never have biological children but should consider Saray's and Jasper's as my own. I intended to, but that Jasper ensures that I have no significant role in the pup's life.
And that hit me deeply.
If he hadn't suddenly appeared in our lives, he hadn't have met Saray again in Human Town. We would have been a happy family for a long time and I would be the father of the pups. But that Alpha had to spoil everything and appear at the mating ceremony uninvited and mess things up. And look what all became of it. To soothe my bruised ego, I got drunk like a sailor. I chose the quiet back balcony to go about my business undisturbed. One bottle after another I emptied. I could barely stand on my feet. And when I stumbled with my last strength to the elevator, a demoness was waiting for me there.
Moon Goddess! What got into me to get that low!
She was in no way like Saray. Only the slight pack scent did they match. And so I know that the woman must belong to Storm Forest. But exactly who she was, her name and rank are a mystery to me so far. The only thing I can remember is the aggressive sex she had with me, she babbled all kinds of stuff about rejection and abuse. I let her have her way because I too, was in grief and looking for an outlet. We both had multiple orgasms, had only short breaks in between. I remember pulling my knot out of her pussy and the juices flowing out. The smell of our lust drove my Lycan mad and us further into a night full of pleasure.
And this is the moment when I thank the Moon Goddess that I am infertile.
We had not used protection, but I need not fear having left traces. Because that would be a disaster. An illegitimate child of the King!
But now her scent is all over me. It's been two weeks now, but I know Saray would still sense that. And my bedroom needs to be entirely sanitized from the slight feminine scent I brought to my suite.
Saray is now fully Lycan, her transformation is already complete, especially now that she is living with Jasper. The man's ancient Lycan has super heightened her instincts. I will have to stay far away from her for some time. I have to make this sacrifice and allow them a few more weeks together. Eric must know how to advise me on this, he could get some herbs from a witch to get rid of the she-wolf's scent completely.
But then all this means I would have to confess my adultery to him. Aaahh, man! What a humiliation. As the King of the Royal Werewolf Kingdom, I have lowered myself to adultery, cheating on the Queen.
My ears turn red with shame.
And when I think of how many enemies I will bring upon myself if this becomes known! And then the Council's sanctions. No, no, no! This must never leak out. A loud knock on my door and the ringer held down. I startle from my musings and sniff the air.
Saray!!! Goodness, Selene, help me here. Under no circumstances can I let her in. I'm so dead!
"Ralph, Ralph, open up. It's me," she calls and bangs on the door again. 'Eric, please help me here. Get Saray away from my door. I'll explain it to you later,' I call for my Secretary's help in the mind link. 'On it!' he answers right away. I close my eyes and wait. And then I hear Eric's voice. They chat for a few seconds and then walk away from my door. Saved!
This is awful. I can't keep this up for long. My mate looking for me, wanting to be with me but I'm forced to avoid her. Ooohhh goodness, how I would like to hold her in my arms at this very moment. If this whole situation had not happened, she would be in my bedroom right now. It has been two weeks since the pups were born, she is already healed. We could have finally made love then. I slap myself on the forehead. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
But all this is Jasper's fault.
If he hadn't already treated me like the fifth wheel on a car in the maternity ward.
He has driven me into drunkenness.
If this hadn't lowered my senses, the woman would never have had a chance to drag me into her room. I am the Executive King and I will make him pay for this. Took my Queen from me and now deprived me of my dignity. This cannot go unpunished. I already know what I have to do to have Saray to myself. No stress, a happy life together with our pups. I will make sure that Jasper never again makes me feel inferior. But then I have to solve the problem of the scent so I can have her in my arms. My mate. Two weeks are too long.
'Eric, come to my room when the coast is clear,' I summon my Secretary.
