“Thank you for shopping in my humble mall. Please be sure to come again whenever you wish; it would make this old man. happy.” Philip said with a smile, lowering his head in a small bow.

The corners of my lips lifted into a bright, grateful smile as I stared at him.

“No, thank you, Philip, for letting us shop here for free. I’ll definitely be back next time,” I responded with a teasing tone, gesturing to the sales assistants who were busy loading the bags into the car. I watched as Philip’s eye twitched, but instead of saying anything, he turned to Darius, lowering his head even further before speaking.

“It seems that the king didn’t buy any clothes today. Perhaps next time, when the king comes with the lady, he will purchase something I’ll make everything free then.”

This time, it was my eyes that couldn’t help but twitch.

This man was certainly sneaky. He’d essentially implied that I could only get things for free if I brought Darius with me, and he bought something.

Pfft, I knew Darius was the real reason Philip had made everything free for us, but he didn’t need to make it so obvious especially with the way he was practically staring at Darius, his eyes practically filled with dollar signs.

However, Darius didn’t say anything. He simply stared at Philip with an expressionless gaze.

Soon, the sales assistants had left, and Philip eventually made his exit. Thankfully, the crowd that had been surrounding the place was gone, probably chased off by Philip. The only people left were Serene, Cassian, Drake, the driver already in the car, Darius, and me.

Without hesitation, I turned toward Darius, lowered my head, and spoke.

“Thank you for today, Your Majesty. It was truly an honor spending the day with you. If you don’t mind, I’ll take my leave now.” I added, intending to leave with Serene in the car we arrived in. After all, Cassian and Drake had come with their own vehicles, so the king should go with them, right? Plus, I was looking forward to a meal with Serene, and if Darius came along, I doubted we’d have much of an appetite with him around.

Darius watched me for a brief moment without saying a word. Just when I thought he might agree, he turned to Cassian, who stood beside him, and ordered,

“Follow them. Make sure you return with them.” His words made me frown, and I glanced at Cassian, who immediately bowed slightly and responded,

“I understand, my king.”

Why would he tell his beta to follow us? Darius didn’t strike me as the type who cared about others especially me, the mate he didn’t want. The only reason I could think of was that he wanted Cassian to keep an eye on me. But why? Did he think I might run away?

My lips parted, ready to voice my disagreement, but as soon as Darius’s cold gaze flickered to me, I snapped my mouth shut. I watched as he turned and walked toward the car, with Drake trailing behind him. Drake quickly went ahead and opened the door for him as he slid inside.

With a frown, my eyes stayed glued to the car as it sped off into the distance, leaving only Serene, Darius, and me behind. As soon as it disappeared from view, a mocking scoff escaped me. I rolled my eyes, folding my arms in frustration. Who did he think he was, ordering one of his men to follow me? Did he really believe I’d run away just because he wanted to reject me?

Chapter 31

Just because he was the Lycan King didn’t mean he could do whatever he pleased.

“Exactly. Just because he’s the Lycan King, he can do whatever he wants. He’s that powerful, Nyssa.” Sheila’s voice echoed in my head, and I pouted, knowing she was right even if I didn’t want to admit it.

“Whatever,” I muttered back in frustration, hearing her sigh in response.
