Chapter 134. Not a Discussion

Althea and Melva were getting ready to ride out with the Alpha King. Althea had dressed in a simple, comfortable riding outfit, expecting to have her own horse. She couldn’t deny the flicker of excitement in her chest — she would be traveling with the Alpha King himself to visit the borders.

It was something she’d long wanted to do, to finally see more of the kingdom instead of being confined to the palace where every look was filled with hatred and judgment.

Melva was quietly packing their things when Althea noticed how gloomy her friend looked.

“Melva…” Althea called softly. When Melva turned to her, Althea instinctively reached out through their link, brushing against her thoughts.

‘What’s wrong with him? Am I not attractive enough? I practically threw myself at him, and he just says he’s not ready? What does that even mean?! Oh heavens, my lady, you’re staring—are you reading my thoughts!!!’

Althea burst out laughing, covering her mouth.
