The Alpha King’s Fated Mate By Yui Ismutomo

Chapter 178

So, that’s what I’ve been doing these past few days, spying on that beautiful man named Astaroth.

Over the past few days, in addition to seeing my father and talking to him, I also started to follow

wherever the beautiful man went.

The beautiful man a.k.a Demon named Astaroth.

Go d, how could he be so different from what the book says?

He looks so… much… human?

Drake Jr who knew my intentions just shook his head but didn’t say anything, I knew he already knew

what I would say if he dared to forbid me, well… I realise that I’m stubborn but sometimes he, as a

man, doesn’t have the courage I expect from someone his age, he’s too responsible, which is different

from me. Well, I admit it, but it’s still annoying…

“You and Drake had a fight, baby?” I blinked a few times at my mum’s question.

“Huh? What?” I was confused as to why she would have that thought and ask about it.

She glanced at her eyes and I followed where her eyes went to see Drake standing at the door outside

my father’s room with his eyes fixed on me “He looks like a puppy missing its master” My mother

whispered while snickering amusedly at me who just rolled my eyes before standing up and walking

towards the puppy.

Letting out a long sigh I leaned in with my friend beside him “What’s wrong? Did you hear your queen?

You’re like a puppy” I teased and made the corner of his lips pull up



a smile.

He just gave a respectful nod towards my mum before we walked together out of my dad’s room.

It’s been three days and he still hasn’t woken up, but he’s only said to be getting better.

It seemed that my father’s wound was so deep that he needed a longer rest than expected.

“So, how is your ‘spying’ going?” Asked my friend and I just sniggered with annoyance at the memory

“oh ow… it doesn’t look good” He commented quickly when he saw that expression on my face.

Yes, everything sucks, I thought he would be very easy to track down, considering his striking

appearance and how he affects the women around him, what did I expect, he is

famous for the Lust Demon, but all that is useless because he seems to disappear without a trace and

no one has ever seen him around us, very strange.

I thought he liked attention, but why is he such a mysterious man who likes to be alone?-

That’s not something I thought I’d find in the Astaroth I’ve read about.

However, for some reason there was a sense of joy in my heart knowing that he was not like what I had

read in the books. He’s completely different from everything written about him.

“You like it…” The words of my friend Drake startled me and brought me out of my reverie to give a

startled snort.

“Huh? What do you mean by that?!” I asked quickly with an annoyed tone.



But he just laughed mockingly which made me even more annoyed and I wanted to hit him on the head

to stop mocking me.

He, who realised that I was getting annoyed immediately cleared his throat and raised his hands in

surrender, “Sorry… I’m so sorry… it’s just that you have the dreamy eyes of a woman in love” He

replied as if to explain why he said that to me and made me raise a confused eyebrow.

The dreamy gaze of a person in love? What does he mean by those words?

“I don’t know what you mean…” I glanced at my friend who was staring at me intently.

“Ehem…”

Suddenly there was a clearing of the throat from beside us, and I was surprised to see the beautiful

man who was the Demon I had been looking for all along leaning against the wall beside us with his

eyes staring intently at us.

Huh? He looks angry?

What’s wrong

with him? I thought in confusion.

“How cosy you two are in here together” He said sarcastically with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes

which continued to stare at us with an angry glare.

What’s wrong with him?! I thought in confusion.

“Uh we’re not comfortable by ourselves, Mr Demon, sir” Drake replied quickly and he looked nervous

which made me raise my eyebrows even more confused.



“So what if we’re alone together? What does it have to do with you?” I snapped at the Demon who was

now staring at me with palpable anger.

What the hell is wrong with him?

He still looked at me intently and slowly walked towards me… one step at a time and made me take a

few steps back in panic until I was cornered with the wall behind me.

What’s wrong with him?!

“Wha… What do you want?” Da mn, why do I sound panicked…

Be brave, Iris!!!

He raised an eyebrow as if teasing me, d*mn it, he knows I’m nervous, that my heart is beating so fast

right now.

What’s wrong with me?!

Raising an eyebrow, smiling mischievously, the beautiful man placed his finger on my chin and lifted my

face to look into his beautiful amber eyes.

Beautiful?

Well… everything about this man or Demon in front of me is beautiful…

Da mn it, calm down heart, calm down!!!!

“Wha… What do you want?” Again my voice is shaking, d*mn it!!! What is he doing to me?!!!

Then I remembered Drake words ‘it’s just that you have the dreamy eyes of a woman in



love’

Oh. My. G od….

What is this?

Could what Drake said be true?

That I… I have an attraction to this beautiful man?!

I’m attracted to the Demon?!
