Wrapped Around Her Finger

'Use your brain…' Long Kael remembered how he had said this phrase to his nephew earlier. He also recalled the rebellious look on Long Cheng's face as if he were looking down on him.

No one could blame Long Kael though. It was common to be biased and doting towards your mate.

Is that not what he was feeling at that moment for his mate despite not knowing her real name or where she'd come from?

His mate's blood test was given to General Wang earlier for the background check. He did not like to do so, but there it was the best and safest thing for him to do.

As the king, regardless of who it is he had to act against, he needed to make sure that his country was safe.

Long Kael also knew that the general like the elders was suspicious regarding his relationship with the woman. After all, she had almost let all the available mages in the palace die after not only failing but making her, his mate's condition worse.
