The King's True Mate

Chapter 37

Ch. 37 / 40 Oct 28, 2025

He opens the door of his car and lets me in before he runs to the driver's side.

My heart is beating so fast. I almost forgot where we are. I look at him now and he was in deep thought. I really want to kiss him and hug him while biting his lips... What are you thinking Kath?! Stop it... I thought you were going to cut his balls because of the woman he had been with.

I looked outside the car's windows. We seem to travel in the wrong direction.

"Zeus, where are we going? This is not the way back to the Castle?" I asked.

"We're going to my favorite. I can't take you there right now. My wolf is on edge after losing you two times in a row," he said.

I smiled at the thought of him, sharing his favorite place with me. Actually, as far as I remember, we know only little things about ourselves. Maybe this will be a nice time to get to know each other.

Or to be marked and fully mated to him. My wolf said.

I blush at my own thoughts. Zeus seemed to feel my sudden change of action. He looked at me then asked me, "Are you alright Kath? Do you need anything? Or are you hurt? I saw what Loui did to you. Do I need to take you to a doctor?" He asks worriedly.

"No, I'm fine. Just curious about this place that we are going to," I said.

"Don't worry, I think you will love it. It's my secret hiding place to everyone if I'm stressed from all the work I need to do," he said.

I look at him, such a perfect creation. He is such a handsome, god-damn-looking male species. Just looking at him like that makes my heart beat so fast. I knew, from this moment, that I had already fallen in love with him. He may be cruel in his own way, but to protect only his people and gain respect from them.

"Is it hard to be a king of werewolves?" I asked. I am curious about it since soon I will be his Queen.

"At first, yes, because you need to think about all the lives in your hand to take care of. But after a while, you will get used to it," he said.

"Is being a queen a hard job?"

He chuckled "Are you scared of being a Queen?" He asks, looking for a second before he chuckles again.

"NO! Of course not, just wondering." I said.

"Don't worry, I'll be here to help you," Zeus said while driving.

After an hour of driving, we finally stopped in the middle of nowhere.

"We need to walk from here, the car can't get inside," he said.

I was going to open the door but he opens it on his own to show how gentlemanly he is. He offered his hand and I took it.

The walking path to where we are going is manmade. I can see pebbles around it, and there are a lot of flowers surrounding the area.

"What place is this?" I asked.

"This is my favorite place. I made it on my own." He proudly says while looking at me.

"You did this?" I asked.

"Yes! Why? Don't you believe me?" He asks with a bit of sadness in his voice.

"No! I'm just surprised knowing how busy you are but you still manage to do it on your own," I explained.

"Actually, I spend time here once a week. I want this place to become my own private place. No one is allowed to enter here except you," he said.

He pulled me and carried me in a bridal style. "I can walk, you can put me down," I said.

"No, I want to do this. I want to carry you until we get there," he said.

I let him and I lean to his chest, savoring the moment right now. Though I felt a little bit hurt due to my wounds, I can feel that it's already healing with the help of the alluring spark that his skin gives me.

I fell asleep in his arms until I could have my body be put down on a soft bed. I opened my eyes and looked into Zeus.

"Sleep, you need to rest and heal. I will settle the house first and I'll be back here, okay?" Zeus said.

I just nodded and drifted to sleep again.

*******

I wake up to the smell of bacon and eggs.

Oh my gosh! Did I sleep the whole day?

I looked outside the window and saw that it was morning again. I fell asleep the entire day. Now my tummy is asking for food.

I look around the room, it's a simple touch of blue and grey. It gives me warmth and comfort. I like this room.

I open the door to the bathroom and look at myself in the mirror until I notice that I'm wearing one of Zeus' shirts.

Did he just change my clothes and see my body? Oh my gosh gracious lord!!!! I said to myself.

I shake my head. I don't need to be shy with my mate. Everything about me was made to be a perfect match for him. I look at myself and fix my hair. I turned and pulled the shirt up to see my wounds that were already healed. I brush my teeth and put my hair into a messy bone before I leave the room and go to the kitchen.

When I got there, I saw my mate only wearing boxer shorts and an apron. I almost laugh at the sight but I hold it. I don't want to disturb him while cooking for me.

"Quit staring, Kath, I can feel your gaze, especially on my butt," he said while turning with a beautiful devilish grin.

"I'm not staring at your butt!" I said, looking around the kitchen, afraid to meet his gaze because I know that I am red as a tomato now.

He chuckled and got back to what he was doing. I pulled one of the chairs and waited for him to finish cooking our food. It's nice to know that he can cook, at least if I get pregnant, he can help me with things.

Wait? Did I say pregnant? What the hell am I thinking? I said to myself.

"How's your sleeping babe? Have your wounds already healed?" He asks while putting some slices of bacon and eggs on my plate.

"Yes, though I got a lot of bruises on my body," I said while eating.

He sat beside me. "Yes, I know, I saw it." He said.

I blush... He really did change my clothes and, for heaven’s sake, I forgot to acknowledge that I didn't have underwear. I almost choke in my own thoughts.

"Are you alright? " he asked worriedly.

"I'm fine. Don't worry." I answered. I got up to go to the bathroom to hide my embarrassment, but I striped onto the chair and fell into Zeus' lap, which made him fall backward too.

He groans at the impact. I heard his head hit the ground while he hugged me tight to eliminate any impact on my body.

I started to panic that I forgot that I am above him wearing nothing underneath while he is in a boxer only. We look into each other's eyes, realizing that we are in an intimate position.

I can see the lust in his face and I can feel the heat radiating to me...

Am I ready now?
