The Alpha King’s Claim chapter 37 by desirenovel

Jealousy was only for the stupid and frail. I never felt that kind of emotion before. Elijah during his mind-link however brought that thing to my attention. He actually accused me of acting like one. Here I thought he was busy with his newfound target, but it seemed I was wrong. He was onto me the moment I left Serena’s…or that woman’s side.

‘Relax, brother,’ he said, ‘Lord Hale would be the most stupid vampire if he harms the queen.’

‘You forget, Elijah, he could stop time for a whole minute. Anything and everything could happen during that lost time,’ I corrected him whilst walking back to my throne.

‘I know,’ he continued, ‘but I’m confident you could fix that.’ Then, the bastard chuckled. ‘With how jealous you are right now, I’m sure you can break his time barrier.’

I grumbled within my throat. ‘You blabber too much Elijah,’ I scolded him, then set out to monitor the queen once I seated. Unfortunately, at the spur of the moment, I released a promise to her. I always keep my promises, so despite not liking it, I knew I had to fulfill my word.

From the sea of dancers, it was easy to spot them. They were actually given a good amount of space by the others who were rather clueless with Lord Hale’s movements. I knew for certain though he was leading her to a vacant balcony farthest away from the crowd and the banquet table. I scoffed at this. He could fool the others, but certainly not me.

I kept a close eye on them. It was taxing at first, my head not open to the idea of protecting a woman, but over time, I came to accept it. It was easy when I didn’t restrict myself. In fact, it felt natural for me to care for her. It felt like I was destined to protect her and not surprising at all, my wolf and lycan sides agreed with me.

‘Yes, we’ll rip that vampire’s fangs if he so much as graze those things on her neck,’

Pulsing heat surged through me as they danced. The way Hale placed his hand on her, the way he pulled her chest to chest, the way they were close—too close for my liking—made me clench my teeth. Hell, if this wasn’t jealousy, then what was I feeling?

‘Keep an eye on the other vampires, William,’ I told my beta, diverting my attention to the distasteful thought. He looked at me from the distance with his hyper-developed eyesight and nodded.

some reason, I could easily read it. If I still remember correctly, before Elijah and I could mind-link, this was exactly what I experienced back when he was eight—reading little hints first until it developed and now we could fully communicate through what human’s call telepathy.
