Chapter 125 I promise I Will Help You

••• Theo's POV •••

"You know how youngsters are nowadays," my dad, the Alpha King, laughed before continuing, "One small misunderstanding and they blew the matter up."

"I can't quite believe that Alpha Charlotte could do something like that, though." One of the elder Alphas in the werewolf council shook his head in regret. "She looks so composed and promising."

"Alas, no matter how good she is, she is still a she-wolf. They let their emotions cloud their minds," another elder Alpha spoke.

I saw my dad give me a look and immediately joined in the conversation.

"It was just a simple misunderstanding," I lied smoothly. "And I've already forgiven her for the mistake she did."

"Prince Theodore, you are quite mature to forgive her after she nearly ruined your reputation," the elder Alpha said.

"She is my mate. It is only natural for me to forgive her," I said with a gentle smile.

"Alpha Charlotte is lucky to have such an understanding and forgiving mate like you," the elder Alpha continued.

I couldn't believe the wedding went smoothly as planned.

My dad, the Alpha King, took me around to socialize with the guests and gave me guidance since I was a recluse and didn't really know or like to socialize before I met Lottie.

Dad had been trying to portray me as a poor lost man who made a small mistake under Lottie's seduction - that it was Lottie who seduced me, asking me to mark her, but chickened out and created a fuss the moment I tried to mark her.

Now the misunderstanding between us had been cleared and I had forgiven her for it, even still willing to marry her.

He pulled me away from the elder Alphas of the werewolf council on the pretext of needing to talk to other guests.

"Theodore," he started saying. "You need to get along well with these Alphas and stop being a recluse after you inherit the throne."

My heart started to beat faster when I heard his words. Was I really going to be the next Alpha King?

"Dad, am I really going to be the Alpha King? Are you really going to make sure that I'll get the title?" I couldn't control my excitement.

"Calm yourself down," he hissed. "There are so many people here."

"Sorry, Dad." I collected myself and turned into the gentle, elegant, and noble Alpha Prince again - the image he had asked me to portray as the Alpha Prince since I was a little boy.

He nodded in appreciation as he saw me calm down. "As for your question… Yes, I will make sure you get the Alpha King title. I promise I will help you. Everything is already in order for you to win the competition."

Suppressing the excitement in my heart, I thanked him calmly. "Thank you, Dad. This means a lot to me."

"However." He frowned. "You have to be careful with your words and actions, Theodore. Nothing must happen to tarnish your reputation. After all, I've already worked hard in cleaning up the mess you made last time. The other Alphas now believe that it was Charlotte's fault and you were the victim in that force-marking situation."

"I know, Dad," I replied quickly with gratitude. "Thank you. There won't be a next time."

"Good." He patted my shoulder. "Now go and mingle before the ceremony starts."

"Alright, Dad." I nodded and turned around in search of Hayden.

In my heart, I still thought of him as an enemy. I wanted to boast about winning Lottie for him. However, his Betal, Noah appeared in front of me.

"Prince Theodore," he greeted me politely.

"Beta Noah." I nodded as a greeting. "Where's your Alpha?"

"Ah, that's why I'm here to see you, Prince Theodore," he said, making me frown in confusion.

"I'm here as the representative of the Red Claw Pack," he uttered before explaining, "Alpha Hayden has a sudden illness and is unable to attend. Thus I am here to congratulate you on your marriage to Alpha Charlotte on behalf of the Alpha and the Red Claw Pack members."

My frown grew deeper as this was not what I wanted, but I waved my hand, dismissing him.

He nodded in respect and went out of my way.

I looked at my watch to see that the wedding ceremony was about to start soon. The guests had started to fill the church, and it was time for me to find my bride.

I didn't let Hayden's absence dampen my mood. I could still gloat after Lottie had officially become my wife, there was no point in letting his absence bother me.

I was in a great mood. After today, my debt crisis would be solved and I would be the Alpha King in two months' time. My life would be perfect and Hayden would not be able to do anything to me or even get Lottie back.

I walked toward the fitting room and knocked on the door. "Lottie, are you ready?"

I waited a while to hear no sound inside, so I knocked on the door again. "Lottie?"

Was she still not ready yet?

I was about to knock again when I saw the door handle turned and the door opened.

Lottie appeared in her white wedding gown that I had chosen for her - the top part was made of lace with long sleeves and the bottom part, starting from her waist, was made of white silk.

I deliberately chose that dress because I didn't want other Alphas to ogle my bride.

Unfortunately, she still looked fucking alluring with her curves and long legs.

The lace, which I thought would make the dress looked modest backfired on me. Patches of her skin were peeking from behind the lace, and it made me have all sorts of imagination about the body underneath the dress.

Fuck!

The 'medicine' was already enough for me to feel horny all the time, and her looking like a forbidden fruit was a test of my self-control.

I couldn't wait to peel that dress off from her body and buried my cock balls deep in her.

Her long black hair cascaded down her back and she was wearing a tiara, holding a bouquet of pastel-colored flowers - she looked like a princess with a deadly combination of innocent, beauty, and goddamn sex appeal.

I felt so thrilled at the thought of such a perfect she-wolf being my mate.

"How do I look?" she asked me shyly.

"Like a fucking alluring princess ready to be stripped and fucked by me tonight," I blurted out in a hoarse voice.

Fuck, what the hell was wrong with me?! I sounded like a horny virgin!

Her cheeks pinkened and she hugged me hurriedly to hide her blushing face, nearly making me moan.

Was it wrong for me to find her shyness and innocence so appealing? I couldn't wait to teach her all sorts of things that could satisfy me sexually.

Fortunately, that fucker Hayden didn't know how to cherish her and she would become mine officially in a few hours.

"Theo…" Her voice sounded so soft and seductive, it was like a caress to my body and cock.

Fuck! Was this the effect of the drug? Or was it simply because she was so damn alluring?

"I have a gift for you later on," she continued.

A gift? All sorts of images of her in all sorts of lingerie appeared in my mind.

"What kind of gift?" My voice was so hoarse it sounded like a growl.

She stood on her tiptoes and placed her lips beside my ear, blowing her warm breath into it. "You have to wait until later to find out, my prince…"

My dick throbbed uncontrollably inside my pants when I heard her calling me 'my prince'.

Fuck! I needed to have a release of I would be sporting a hard-on during the wedding ceremony.

I pulled her toward the door next room, knowing the room she had just come out from was most probably filled with Omegas.

"Theo, what are you doing? The ceremony is about to start!" she exclaimed, which I ignored.

I pulled her inside the room and locked the door before unbuttoning and unzipping my pants, pushing it down to free my rock-hard cock.

"You have to help me, Lottie," I growled as I wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her close to me, and took her hand and curl it in around my shaft.

Her eyes widened in shock, yet I kept guiding her hand to pump me until I came all over our hands.

Her face was flushed as she glared at me and went to the bathroom to wash her hand.

I took some tissues to clean myself before tidying my clothes.

"I want you to be my gift tonight," I told her as we walked out of the room. "Wrap yourself with a red ribbon and present yourself as a gift to me."

She looked away, making me growl. "Do you understand me, Lottie?"

"Yes, Theo," she answered immediately, making me smile smugly. I believed she'd be a perfect submissive for me.

"Let's go, we are late." She dragged me toward the church's entrance where the bridesmaids were waiting for us.

Even though I had asked her to present herself as a gift, I still couldn't curb my excitement when I thought about what kind of gift she had prepared for me.
