Alpha’s Virgin Wife by Baby Charlene
Chapter 165 A Wolf and A Witch
King Dakota was exhausted from the walk with the girls. It was nothing like he had ever experienced, but it was surely worth it all.
He opened the door to his chambers and got in to find Shilah, sitting glumly on the bed – in tears.
What???
Every ounce of exhaustion he felt at that moment vanished instantly as he rushed over to the bed.
“Shilah? What’s the problem?” He asked in that demanding tone , that demanding tone that proved he was ready to punish whosoever her offender was.
But surprisingly, Shilah sniffed, stood up and hugged him.
“I have no offender, My King. I just feel so happy. So happy you honored my words and showed so much love to the girls today”.
At first, the King was confused but later felt relived knowing it was nothing serious. But to think she was actually crying for that….?
“Dyani wept in front of me today” she continued.
“She was so happy seeing you with her daughter and it gave me so much joy, My King. Oh! Thank you so much! I am forever grateful”.
“It’s fine, Shilah” King Dakota cooed, stroking her hair. “You do not have to cry over it. It’s fine”.
And gradually, Shilah’s tears turned into smiles.
She pulled away from the hug and stared into his face.
“Have you eaten?” King Dakota asked before she’d say what she had in mind.
“Yes. A while ago. Uhm…” She paused and stared down at her nails.
“If…if you wouldn’t mind, My King. I have it in mind to give you a special treatment tonight. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do”.
Dakota’s brows arched.
“And what could that be?’
“Oh! It’s meant to be a surprise” Shilah chuckled.
And that’s for later in the night. You must be tired now, My King. I’ve had your bath water ready for you. Please, go in and freshen up”.
King Dakota stared at her in so much surprise, wondering what she might be up to. Well… Whatever it was. He couldn’t wait for it.
And with that concluded, he left for the bathroom.

AT THE GREAT OAKS VILLAGE ✍️
********************
If Sukie had her way, she’d have preferred walking around in a different dress in order not to get noticed. But unfortunately, it was forbidden for a sister of the red coven to move around in anything different from the red garment. Thus, she had no choice.
Her hoodie was over her head as she walked down the road – keeping her head down, trying to make sure her face doesn’t get seen by many. And of course, she made sure Remata was busy enough before leaving the apartment.
.
After a long time, Sukie finally arrived at the hotel. The first floor was a little noisy and looked almost like a tavern. It irritated her – she didn’t want to spend more than a second in there and quickly headed for the staircase.
“Hey! Beautiful lady in red! Where do you think you’re going?” She suddenly heard a grumpy voice ask, and turning swiftly, she discovered he was more like a manager – looking so fat and ugly.
Some of the lousy men playing in the tavern had stopped to look at her. No, she really didn’t need such attention.
“I am here to see someone. Hope you don’t mind” she mumbled brusquely and proceeded forward, ignoring every other thing the man tried to say.
She took in a deep breath when she escaped the annoying scene. And next, she began looking for Pishan’s room.
“Eight room”, she could recall his words.
Searching carefully, she finally found a room with the number ‘8’ on it and hoped it was his. Then, she knocked. And in a split second, the door was opened.
Oh! Thank goodness! She was at the right door.
“Hey, Sukie” Pishan cooed when he saw her – complimenting Sukie’s relief as well.
“Hi”. Sukie beamed.
Shocking enough, he hugged her. What??
Sukie froze for two seconds. Normally, one would think it to be a casual welcoming hug, but she felt different. So different.
And when he pulled away, she could feel her heart leaping heavily along with it.
“I thought for a second you wouldn’t make it” Pishan spoke in low tones, his hand on her right arm. “Please, come in”.
“Of course,” Sukie stuttered, blinked her eyes to the floor and went in.
A sweet burning incense from the room welcomed her. Wow. The room was… cozy.
Well, she wouldn’t be surprised Pishan knew much about quality hotels as he was the type that traveled around frequently. His taste of quality was impressive.
“Please, make yourself comfortable. I’ll be back” he said behind her and left the room.
Alone, Sukie took in a really deep breath as she sat on the soft bed. Bless the Spirits! What exactly is wrong with her? Why does she feel this way around Pishan?
She covered her face with her palms and thought for a while.
‘Okay, just calm down, Sukie. You should enjoy this stay and not fret’ she urged herself and uncovered her face.
Then, she looked around – admiring the dazzling beauty of the room. It looked small, but comfy enough to make a person feel at home. And the window had a lake view.
She sprang on her feet and rushed over to the window – admiring the beauty of the waters. Goodness! It was such a beautiful sight to behold. That was the first time Sukie would be staying in a room such as that – a room she could have a view of the lake just from her window.
She had spent most of her time in the Palace and didn’t even know what it felt like – living elsewhere. But it looked so beautiful…
She sighed wistfully – admiring it. And shortly, Pishan returned.
He held a drink with him and looked a bit surprised, finding her staring through that window with so much admiration. Sukie had to step back.
“You’re back” she feigned a smile, returning to the bed to sit. “Uh… yes. Hope I didn’t keep you waiting?”
“Not at all” Sukie answered with a chuckle.
Afterwards, she watched him set the drink on the table, opened it and decanted into two different cups. Her eyes danced around the broad of his shoulders that moved around while he did all that. He looked so… manly and cute.
When he was done and turned around with the two cups, Sukie quickly took her gaze away.
“Sorry for not asking on time, but, do witches drink?” He asked rather sarcastically, cracking Sukie up with it.
“Of course, Pishan. We do” she reached out and collected her own portion from him.
Pishan leaned on the table right in front of her and took a swig from his cup, while Sukie did same.
Hm. It tasted nice and different – Sukie thought. But, she wasn’t really comfortable with the silence between them.
“So” Pishan adjusted a little. “What excuse did you finally give to the Queen to earn her permission?”
He unknowingly did her a favour by breaking the silence.
“Oh” Sukie’s cheeks flushed. “I… simply told her I wanted to get something down the village” she sipped from her cup.
“I see” Pishan nodded. “And that means… you shouldn’t stay so long, right?”
“Yeah” Sukie muttered.
Another round of silence deemed in as the duo swigged from their cups.
“It seems you have a rather… strong and different relationship with the Queen” Sukie’s heart skipped a beat when she heard that from Pishan.
“I’ve noticed you always around her, and seem to receive special treatments from her”.
She simply lowered her a gaze to her cup and couldn’t say a word. It was too cringy to talk about.
“So, you…are into girls?” That question alone drove her nuts, she lifted her eyes to him.
“It’s… it’s not what you think” she sighed and reduced her gaze to her cup again.
“The Supreme Sister is a really nice lady. She’s beautiful, and strong. I grew up in the Palace, but it got to a point, she began showing interest in me. She’s someone every witch respects and admires. So, when she came for me, I didn’t want to look disrespectful and had to give in to her. Either ways, it still doesn’t change her for being a sweet soul” she concluded.
For a second, Sukie wondered why she was explaining all that to Pishan – in more of a defense. Why did she need to spell it out to him?
“She’s a sweet soul? I heard she’s usually brutal and short tempered” Pishan asked as he crossed his legs and sipped more from his drink.
His question nearly got Sukie tongue-tied.
“She…she can be brutal when offended” she quickly said.
“But, she’s still a great leader”.
“Hmm” Pishan shrugged.
“That’s understandable, then. And you are right – she’s really beautiful”.
Sukie found herself swiftly staring at him when he made that statement. And when he chuckled and turned away, she felt her heart melted.
Hold on, what in the name of the Spirits was wrong with her?

Sukie had so much fun with Pishan and was beginning to wish it wouldn’t come to an end – especially when he began telling her of some fun stories. Most of them cracked her up at intervals while the others made her feel pathetic.
She wanted to spend more time there with him, but considering her status, she knew she had to leave and return to the Queen before she gets suspicious. But, in all of it, she wouldn’t stop feeling something different- that same feeling she couldn’t explain right from when he had hugged her.
.
He escorted her to the exit of the hotel and had to stop there since she didn’t want more people seeing them. But he stood there by the door and watched her leave.
