Without this anchor, I knew I’d lose all restraint and go on a killing spree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’d remember exactly why people called me the Mad King. Clearly, I’d been too lenient with these traitors, letting them believe they could scheme behind my back without consequences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more I dwelled on their betrayal, the hotter my fury burned, and my entire frame began to shake with barely contained violence. Phoebe’s arms tightened around me in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had no clue what had happened, but she could sense the dangerous storm brewing inside me, and that spelled trouble for everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gentle hands traced patterns across my back while she pressed soft kisses to the top of my head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was terrified I’d do something catastrophic in my current state of rage. Knowing me as she did, she had every right to worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the tension in my muscles refused to ease, Phoebe cupped my face, forcing me to meet her gaze. She leaned in and captured my lips in a tender kiss before pulling back to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What happened? Please, tell me.’ She brushed another kiss across the tip of my nose, and I exhaled shakily at her touch. The physical connection helped rein in my anger, redirecting my focus from bloodlust to my mate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Some bastard at the border let Valerium warriors slip through - that’s how they got here. We don’t know their numbers yet, but they’re definitely planning to cause chaos. Elder Tricia discovered who’s responsible, but there have to be more conspirators involved.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I leaned into Phoebe’s palm as her thumb caressed my cheek with maddening gentleness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to eliminate them all. Wipe them from existence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’You’ll kill innocent people.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So what.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phoebe’s face twisted with disgust at my callousness, making me growl under my breath. I’d expected this reaction from her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s worth the cost.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shook her head firmly. ’No, don’t do that.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Irritation flared through me as I shot to my feet, forcing her to rise as well, and I fixed her with a cold stare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why should I give a damn? I’ll throw them all to the wild wolves. It’s been too long since the pack had a proper feast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing me head for the door, Phoebe immediately wrapped her arms around me again. She tilted her face up, eyes pleading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now she understood why Elder Tricia had begged for her help in calming me down. They must have already tried reasoning with me, but I was too consumed by rage to listen to anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Please, you’ll break my heart if you kill innocent people.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can’t make out what you’re saying,\" I grumbled, though of course I could read her lips perfectly. After all, I’d been watching her constantly, learning every expression and gesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, I couldn’t bring myself to break free from her embrace. Not that I couldn’t - I could snap her delicate arms in half or hurl her across the room to stop her from blocking my path. But the thought of hurting her made my stomach turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I groaned as Phoebe continued trying to communicate with me, so I squeezed my eyes shut. This way I couldn’t read her lips and know what she was desperately trying to tell me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you want a say in this, then speak up.\" I kept my eyes firmly closed, irritation eating at me. At the very least, if I had to bend to her wishes, I wanted something in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But my demand only frustrated Phoebe more, since I knew damn well she couldn’t comply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d love nothing more than to use her voice again if she could, but that was impossible now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tugged at the front of my shirt, but I stubbornly refused to look at her, which made her even more desperate. She couldn’t even try to kiss me - the one move I’d never be able to resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The problem was, even standing on her tiptoes, she couldn’t reach my mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, running out of options, she decided to take drastic action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell are you doing?\" I finally looked down at my mate as she started unzipping my pants. A triumphant smirk played at the corners of her lips, making her look devastatingly adorable. \"You’re such a little schemer, love,\" I groaned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My teeth clenched as her hand wrapped around my hardening length. She got exactly the reaction she was after in seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re playing with fire, love. Stop while I can still control myself.\" My electric blue eyes darkened with raw desire for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Phoebe only grew bolder, stroking me with gentle, innocent touches while batting her eyelashes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s enough,\" I grunted. I hated losing control, but when it came to her, I found I didn’t mind surrendering completely. \"You asked for this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I pressed her back against the wall, pinning her with my body as I lifted her off the ground. Panic flashed in her eyes as she grabbed my shoulders for support, suddenly finding herself airborne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Being naughty, are we? Maybe I should punish you instead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I squeezed her ass, making her eyes go wide with shock. \"Surprised now? Too late to back out. Let’s see what you get for provoking me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tried to squirm away from me, but it was pointless - escaping my grip was impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did you do that earlier?\" I hiked up her dress and tore away her panties in one swift motion. \"Actually, you didn’t do it quite like this, but close enough. This will work just fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",956,"2026-06-06T16:11:22.572Z",1,"novelbin.me","e0e5472891a287940c3ccbbd694936a7d77d99b04c5935bdb901d9ab38b4cb7b","marked-by-the-mad-king-alpha-chapter-197","marked-by-the-mad-king-alpha-chapter-195",302,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarked-by-the-mad-king-alpha-cover.jpg"]
