Mated To Alpha Gregory

Adams’ POV

At first, it looked like I was being dipped into a pool filled with darkness rather than water before being pulled out multiple times. But soon, my vision became clear, and I saw the white-coated roof above me.

Guessing from the way I was, I knew I was lying on my back -on what looked like a bed. One might wonder, “what looked like a bed?” It didn’t feel like I slept on a bed, rather, it felt like I slept on a floor covered with bedsheets.

It was hard, and my back hurt.

The scent of antiseptic and medicines soon filtered into my nostrils, so much so, it didn’t take long to know where I was -a hospital.

Fragments of what had happened to me began to come together like pieces of a puzzle. A mild headache lived rent-free in my head, but it was the least of my worries, getting home was more important.

A quick glance around the room revealed that it wasn’t the normal hospital ward a person would be put in on a normal day. Rather, it was big and spacious, almost fit for a king.

The wall was painted a bright yellow color, which went well with the white ceiling. Besides the bed and the bag of drip attached to my hand with a tiny tube, there were shelves containing medicines which seemed to have been shifted to a corner.

This room was definitely not a ward, but being the Alpha king came with its own privileges. On a normal day, as a royal, I would be treated in the palace, but due to the situation at the time it occurred, a make-shift room was made.

I watched the drip passing into my body through the tube from the bag to my hand. When I had woken up, it had completed its job. In a snap, it was out.

The blood from my veins poured out in little quantities till it stopped and healed. I raised my body up a little to look through the window. The sun had traveled to the west and would soon get some rest. It’s orange color cast gloomy shadows all over the earth.

I sat back on the bed and looked at the time before me. It was half past five in the evening.

“Damn!” I cursed, realizing I had slept all day. What had happened to Lilith? How did the council meeting go?

I sprang up at once and proceeded to leave the bed when the door opened and the doctor walked in.

“My king, you are awake.”

“Oh, no!” I whispered in low tones. He walked towards me, alongside two other nurses who had come in with him, each of them carrying two covered plates which I guessed contained food.

My mouth salivated at the thought of eating again, it made me notice how much I’d missed food.

“You should settle down back your highness. I know you are in a hurry to get back home but, you need to eat.”

My eyes didn’t leave the plate of food as my stomach rumbled in accordance. He dropped it on the bed before running to a corner of the room to take a table which was hidden behind the shelves of medicine.

Bringing the table closer to the bed, he put the food on it and collected the food with the nurses, one after the other, putting them beside each other on the table also.

The nurses bowed after that and left the room, leaving me alone with the doctor. The doctor opened the plates of food to reveal its content.

The smell of roasted chicken covered in spicy pepper sauce found its way into my nostrils as he opened the first two plates before him.

The other two dishes had rice in them and the last dishes were filled to the brim with salad and pasta each.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

My stomach rumbled again. This one louder than the last -it made the doctor chuckle.

“I’m sorry my king, please forgive my manners. I need you to eat what you can and leave the rest. Please, eat enough so that you can regain your strength.”

I wondered what other strength he was talking about because I felt so strong already. There was no way I was rejecting the food though. It looked too good to be left alone.

He bowed and moved towards the door. The moment he opened it, Lilith came in, looking beautiful in a flowing white robe which complimented her skin color.

I was all smiles, waiting for her to come in when another person walked in, his face filled with concern. “Ronan?”

“Adams,” he replied. “It feels good to see you again.”

They walked in, and the doctor stepped out, leaving us alone.

It felt good to see them again, it seemed like forever when I last saw them, even though it was just this morning.

Most importantly, it felt good seeing Ronan again. My eyes suddenly teared up and it caught their attention.

“What’s the problem, Adams? Why are you crying?” Lilith asked.

I cleaned my face and shook my head. “I’m just happy to see you both. If only… Ronan still had his memory intact.”

Lilith and Ronan looked at me, then looked at themselves, so much so -it made me suspicious. “What is going on? Did something happen?”

Ronan smiled and came closer, giving me a hug. “I remember everything, Adam… everything.”

My eyes widened in surprise as I detached myself from him in haste. What was he speaking of? Wasn’t the powder a poison? How was it possible for him to regain his memory just like that?

“That’s impossible, h… how?”

“Someone…” he began. “… a young lady dressed as a maid came in and gave me a substance which made me pass out for a while. Remember the maid that brought me food earlier?” He asked, facing me.

“Yea, you mentioned it.” I replied.

“Exactly. She brought me food to eat this morning and passed some dust in a tiny jar to me. I was skeptical, but she told me to shake it then perceive the scent, which I did. I passed out and by the time I woke up, she was nowhere to be found, and I had my memories back.”

I sighed.

“What about the council meeting? How did it go?”

“Oh that,” Lilith bubbled with excitement. “It was crazy. The council members at first wouldn’t listen to me and started leaving the room, but Ronan came in just in time to check them. I… released Ben and the other prisoner. They weren’t guilty.” She faced the floor as she said those words, scared to look at my face.

I stood up from the bed and walked up to her, raising her head up to look at me. “I already told you I trust your judgment, don’t beat yourself to it. Not like I am happy, I personally believe Ben has numerous skeletons in his cupboard. He will pay for his crimes one way or another, either now or later.”

She smiled, knowing I wasn’t angry with her. Afterward, we all sat down on the bed to eat before leaving for the mansion.

“Here, your ring,” Lilith said, stretching the ring I gave her earlier in the day to me.

“Thank you,” I replied, collecting it before sliding it back into my finger.

Our eyes got locked in a gaze which could last forever and soon, our eyes closed, and our lips continued from where our eyes stopped till… a bang on the door broke us apart.

“My king, it’s Ronan. You should get prepared now, we are going for Raider’s coronation ceremony taking place tonight at Greenforest Pack.”
