The King's Wife Is The Alpha's Mate -
Chapter 298 Feels Like Flying
The Alpha thought this was a good chance for him to take a breather. If Sophie missed Frisia and wanted to go somewhere to calm down, he would gladly grant it. Luciel and Jan were safe here and they were big enough not to be dependent on their parents for several days.
"How did you know that the Royal Lycan Hunters wouldn't come here?" Sophie asked worriedly. "If they decided to knock and ask questions... then, it would become... chaos."
"Sophia, tell me a place safer than this manor where we have 150 highly trained and really tough lycan warriors and another two hundred staying nearby, ready to come for help anytime we need them?" Leland asked Sophie. "Please don't undermine their capabilities."
"Uhm... that's true," Sophie sighed. She realized she was too worried and this might make the warriors who stayed with them feel offended. "That's true."
"So, what do you say?" Leland poured more tea into Sophie's now empty cup. "We can leave tonight if you want."
"I... I need to talk to Luciel and Jan and see if they are okay with us going for a few days," Sophie said.
"Sure." Leland motioned to her teacup. "Finish your tea. I will call the maids to clean up and help you get ready."
"Thank you," Sophie drank her tea. Then she clutched her stomach. "I am hungry."
"We will have late breakfast after you get dressed."
"Ah, okay."
Sophie watched Leland put on his pants, then leave their room to call some maids to help her. She looked down at her stomach and sighed. She really missed their life in Frisia now. It would be nice to go back there and give birth to her children far, far away from Riga.
Sophie was moved from her reverie when two maids came and greeted her respectfully.
"Good morning, Luna."
"Hey.. good morning," Sophie replied with a smile. "Please help me get dressed."
She was happy when she realized her body was cleaned after last night's sex, so she didn't feel sticky when she woke up. The maids just needed to help dress her and then she would be ready to go. She was feeling so hungry.
Maybe this was her pregnancy hormones. Her appetitive suddenly became so big.
***
After breakfast, Sophie called Luciel and Jan and talked to them about her desire to have a short getaway with Leland.
Contrary to her expectation, the two boys didn't mind at the slightest.
"You should go, Mom," Luciel said with a big smile. "We will be fine here without you. Right, Jan?"
The other boy nodded.
"Are you sure? I have never left you before." Suddenly Sophie felt like crying. Why must she feel like she needed to go somewhere and take a breather? How could she even think of leaving her sons? She muttered indecisively, "Maybe you both should go with us."
Leland gave the boys a look and they immediately shook their heads in unison.
"No. I don't feel like going," Luciel shrugged. "I just planted a new seed in the backyard. I want to watch it grow."
Jan nodded.
"Did you plant a new seed too?" Sophie asked the boy. Jan shrugged. She furrowed her brows. "So, why don't you want to go with us?"
Finally, Jan spoke. His tone sounded annoyed. "I don't want to be a wallflower."
Sophie chuckled and rubbed his hair. "You won't be a wallflower."
Jan shrugged again. Seeing her boys' reluctance to leave with them, Sophie finally realized she should stop being indecisive about leaving them and just go.
Come to think of it, after they got married, she and her husband had never had alone time, just the two of them for a period of time. There were always the children.
They could be away from the pack if they wanted, but they couldn't be far from Luciel and Jan since the boys were really young and still depended on them.
Now that she saw how big Luciel and Jan were now, Sophie was relieved. Soon, they would welcome the little one(s) and probably would not have their alone time for who knows how long.
And don't forget about the coming war.
Gosh, thinking about it suddenly made her feel stressed again. Sophie turned to Leland and sighed. "Yeah, I think we should go alone and... trust Lucas and the others to watch over the boys."
Leland smiled and nodded.
After the sky turned dark, Sophie hugged her sons and told them not to be naughty. Then she spoke to Lucas and asked him to watch Luciel and Jan for her. The Beta nodded and bowed his head respectfully to show that he understood his task.
He had known the boys and lived with them for years. He knew how to handle them. And as the Beta of the pack, he also understood how to lead the pack in the absence of their Alpha.
"Very well... I guess that's it," Sophie bit her lip and turned to look at her mate who was taking off his clothes and then transformed into a huge white wolf.
Sophie's mouth gaped a little in adoration at seeing him. Leland always looked majestic in his wolf form.
Sophie had seen him transformed many times now, but she was always amazed when she saw the process. He was such a beautiful wolf. None of her sons look like him. They all take after Nicholas' wolf.
Secretly, this made Sophie desire to see a mini wolf that looked like Leland. He must like it. Subconsciously, she rubbed her belly, thinking of their baby in her womb. She couldn't wait to welcome them into this world.
"Let's go now," Sophie said to Leland. The Alpha crouched down on his four legs and waited for Sophie to get on his back.
Sophie brought a bag with her, filled with their needs, and then climbed up the huge wolf's back. After she found a comfortable sitting position, she hugged his neck and rested her head on his back. His fur was so soft and fluffy. Sophie felt like she was lying down in the clouds.
She hugged Leland tightly as the wolf ran swiftly out of the manor with her on his back. It almost felt like flying.
She took a deep breath and smiled as the wind hit her cheeks and fluttered her hair. She was glad they decided to take this trip and have a short quality time for the both of them. She could already feel the weight on her shoulders was slowly gone with the wind.
