The Alpha King’s Fated Mate (Gwen Louve)

Chapter 171

I remember one of the things my mom wanted was for me to be broad-minded and reading was the only thing that could make me smart

Therefore, she always told me to read at least one book every day.

"Mom, why do I have to keep reading?" I complained one day.

My mother smiled "Because by reading you will gain knowledge, with knowledge you will gain titles and positions" She replied gently.

And today, I stood behind my father's b*dy who called out to a man with red colored eyes and called him Asmodeus, making me shocked because I had read about the Demon hierarchy and that name was in the book I read

Was this an accident?

"Nothing is impossible, everything has been recorded in the sky so we just have to live it"

Those were also the words my mother told me and looking at today, I'm sure that this wasn't an accident but something intentional.

"Why are you here, Asmodeus?" I heard my father ask but the Demon only laughed out loud after hearing my father's words or questions. He's crazy!!

"Oh, Alpha Alpha... Alpha." I'm glad you're all here, because my business is not with you, or you king Alpha, but I'm here because of him....

My eyes widened as he pointed his index finger at me who was still hiding behind my father's b*dy.

"Growled..." I heard a growl coming from my father and hurriedly placed both my hands on his arms to stop him from doing something we all regret.

My father, who felt the touch of my hands, immediately looked back at me, who gave him a smile, but I was surprised when he just continued to stare at me silently.

Father?

What's going on here?

"Your business with my daughter is my business too, Demon, tell me what you really want?" My father spoke up again while continuing to hide me behind his b*dy. The Demon just burst into laughter.

The Demon just laughed out loud as if what my father said was a joke by him and it made me angry and upset.

He thinks it's a joke?!

"You're crazy!!!" I said which made my mother gasp loudly and my father looked back at me after hearing me say it. The Demon immediately fell silent and he widened his eyes at me, as if he couldn't believe I dared to say that about him. "What did you say, little girl?" He asked me with an angry gaze locked on me.

I ventured to return his gaze and walked sideways so that we could see each other.

"Iris... My father tried to hold me back, but I ignored him, that man, that Demon has humiliated him, I won't just stay silent!

"I said you're crazy... Do you know where you are, acting without manners in front of the Alpha King like that?" I said firmly which I knew made almost everyone in this room hold their breath in shock and fear of the Demon's reaction.

IRIS!!! My father called me back but I gave him a smile.

"Dad, I don't like someone being disrespectful to you" I said softly to him which made tears gather in his eyes after hearing me speak.

My father is the revered king of Alpha, no one is allowed to disrespect him, he never disrespects anyone and 1 will not stay silent when someone does something very disrespectful to him.

It doesn't matter if he's a Demon

"Iris. My father choked up and walked over to me again to give me a hug only "I'm so proud that you defended me, but this isn't the time dear He said softly, maybe he thought I didn't know who my opponent was there, I thought.

Clap.. clap

clap... clap... clap...

You both looked back at the demon, damn, I forgot he was still there, I thought annoyed.

"Awh... What a show." He teased and made my anger increase the longer I spent with him.

"What's wrong with you? Don't have any friends, bother other people!" I snapped and made him squint at me before raising his hand and everyone screamed as a strong gust of wind seemed to pierce through

me.

Oh Sh*t!!!

Incoming!!

I felt my father pull my b*dy and protect me with his b*dy.

No, father!!! I thought frantically, worried that something would happen to him and I would have to blame myself, my mouth for challenging that Demon.

But I blinked my eyes a few times to realize that nothing was happening to me and my father who was protecting me with his b*dy.

Huh?

We're okay?

Did he miss?

Or is his strength not as great as I thought?

Until my eyes were glued to the figure of someone standing in front of us...

Someone had apparently blocked the Demon's attack and he was currently standing between myself along with my father and the Demon Asmodeus

Who is it?

How did he get there? I thought in surprise and tried to see more clearly because it was still covered with brown smoke from whatever the Demon did to us.

I gasp as I recognize the jet-black hair of the man who blocked the Demon's attack on us...

That black hair....

He reminds me of someone, I thought and tried to remember more about it.

Who????

Think Iris... Think!!! I said ordering myself to think deeper.

Until I finally remembered...

My eyes widened as I recalled an old encounter with a beautiful dark-haired man when I was 5 years old.

The man who called me 'Baby Girl'

Oh my God.. I remembered then....

I know who he is!

He was...

The pretty guy in market?!" I shouted in surprise which made my father startle as if he knew who the beautiful man was and in shock that I even knew him.

.Olow....
