The Unwanted Daughter’s Alpha King
Chapter 88
The crowd seemed to hear Rhys‘ words and took them seriously. No one else dared to question him about me and my place here, at least not now anyway. I was touched by how quickly he came to my defense, and how absolute he had been with his words. He made me want to learn everything even quicker, so that I could become the absolute best Luna.
Rhys nodded to me before continuing. “I am grateful to have Grace by my side and cannot wait to see what good she does for this kingdom. In honor of my recent mating, we will celebrate by having a pack hunt in two days!”
The crowd cheered again, but I still felt apprehensive. This was now, but what if when they learned what was happening in the Blood Moon pack they turned on me? I wasn’t them, but would others be able to see that?
Instead of sinking in these feelings though, I smiled and waved at the crowd as Rhys led me back to the car, his hand on the small of my back, tucking me in close to him which I appreciated. Being with Rhys made it easier to face just about everything… I just had to block from my head that just a few streets away, I had been nearly kidnapped, witnessed a friend get her, and saw a dead body. Yea, easy peasy to just block it from my head. Ugh Grace, why did you have to go there? I yelled at myself.
Rhys opened the car door and helped me in before following behind me. I was grateful that we hadn’t driven ourselves, and that Sawyer was our driver, Rhys didn’t trust anyone else right now, minus maybe Leon.
“I think that went well,” Leon stated once the car was moving.
I nodded, “I agree.”
“I actually expected more pushback,” Rhys admitted, “But I’m glad it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I mean, you’ve been around the pack for a couple months now, so a lot of people at the very least have seen you around. And I’ve never even considered introducing anyone to the pack before, no one ever felt right, but when it comes to you, Grace, I want to scream it from the rooftops.”
“That would be very unlike you,” I smiled at his dramatics.
“You make me feel like a new person,” He kissed my hand gently. “I promise to never

abandon you, Grace. You are stuck with me for life. All I want to do is go home and rip these clothes off of you and spend the rest of the day in our room.”
His kisses trailed up my arm, and I felt my worries melt away a little, but I still had one foot set in reality.
“Don’t we have things to do?” I attempted to remind him.
“No.” Rhys answered. “Nothing important.”
I laughed because we both knew that wasn’t true, but we were enjoying this moment to
ourselves.
“Rhys?” Sawyer’s voice rang from the intercom system in the car, since the dark divider
was up.
Rhys groaned in annoyance, but he answered back, “Yes?”
“Hate to interrupt, but Allison is standing on the side of the road, waving us down.”
Rhys rolled his eyes but told Sawyer to pullover just the same before getting out of the car and marching toward her.
I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to follow or not but sitting in the car alone felt unsettling.
“What’s wrong, Allison?” Rhys asked, but there was a sense of boredom or lack of care in his voice that as his mate, I appreciated.

He’s being way too lenient with Allison. I know why he’s keeping her around, I also know why he didn’t kill her to begin with, but actually that’s exactly why he should’ve killed her. Someone wh…
