Chapter: 158: I'll never be as goodLucien's POVNo matter how long I soaked myself in that water, I didn't seem to find peace.I was damn restless.I finally finished shower and quickly dressed up. I headed to see Natasha first and then I continued towards my office.I could already sense the strangeness in the atmosphere even right after I stepped out of my room, but my mind was too restless to be fixed on it.Nevertheless, now I noticed really well and it was disturbing.It was like the guards were stiffer and stood straighter this morning, you know that way that makes it look as if they were keeping a secret.It didn't take Long for me to realise what it was.Draven SNR's car was parked in the garage.How long has it been there?I hadn't been paying attention before, or maybe it wasn't there before. All I knew was that I didn't go towards that area at first. My driver had already set my car for me before I even started heading out.Once the driver had parked, I stepped out and asked the guards around if truly, Drave

Chapter: 157: SummonedLucien's POVI stamped the last file on my desk for today with weary eyes. All my body told me that I needed to pause, or at least to rest, but I couldn't afford to do that.Some packs had reached out to us seeking help, though a lot of them withdrew their proposals after the whole incident; however, a good number of them were still at my desk. I made sure to weigh every one of them carefully before passing my judgment.I was done for today, but my eyes still swept across the stack of files for tomorrow and the days to come. I wasn't anywhere close to completing and approving all of that, not even in a month's time.But amidst all of the work I had down for me to do, I couldn't stop myself from thinking if she had woken, if she had asked for me.I kept checking my phone time without a number, just to see if the nurse in charge of her room was calling to say that she had woken up and needed to see me.Unfortunately, none of that happened.I stood up, tired and disoriented.I'd barely h

Chapter: 156: If she diesLucien’s POVOne week has never been this long in my life before. And in this past one week, I knew nothing like peace or even sleep.I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t even lie still for more than a few seconds because every time I closed my eyes, all I saw was her body so pale and almost too still on that bed like she didn’t have the strength to fight for life anymore. The doctors kept coming in and out, whispering to each other, shaking their heads, trying to clear out the wolfsbane that refused to leave her system.I don't think I've ever been this scared of losing someone since after my dad.The fact that I couldn't do anything to speed up the process was even more annoying. At this point, I felt like all the power and authority I had was so damn useless. But even at that, I did everything in my power to get her the best of doctors.Even though it all ended up in the same result."You're majesty, she barely survived this. Any normal Lycan or wolf would have passed on after a few days,

Chapter: 155: Not even once Lucien’s POVThe moment his words rolled out, something inside me tightened. He was standing there like he hadn’t just dragged my mate across half the damn mountains, like he hadn’t laid his filthy hands on her, like he hadn’t been hovering around her for weeks with that stupid look in his eyes. Damon always had this irritating calm on his face, even now when blood was still on his shirt and Natasha’s scent.My hands were already curling into fists. I didn’t even think about it. I didn’t care where we were or who was watching. I wanted to grab him and slam him into the damn wall for everything… for touching her, for talking like he knew her more than I did.But before I could take that one step toward him, the door swung open so hard the light from inside spilled across the hallway.We both turned immediately.The doctor stepped out, her mask pulled down, her hands still shaking a little. That was the first thing that messed with my head.“How is she?” I asked at the same time Damon d

Chapter: 154: I'm going to dieDamon's POV Anger rose from within me at the sound of his name. Of course, what was I expecting? I removed her hand from my body like she was some kind of leach and immediately got into the driver's seat. We drove for quite a while, yet we saw no one. This is so frustrating. I have to get to the Kingdom... This place was really far and looking back at her, I wasn't sure if she was going to make it through the drive. "What do I do now?" At this point, everywhere was already very dark and there was still no one on the road.I could no longer hear the sound of her heavy and struggling breaths, I got really scared. "Natasha?" I called. For a couple of seconds, there was no response. "I'm going to die, right?" She finally managed to say after a while of silence. The words caused my chest to freeze for a couple of seconds. "Do you say that, I'm here trying so hard that you don't die on me." That little moment when I turned to talk to her, I didn't notice when another car began t

Chapter: 153: Why are you here?Damon's POV I knew Sonia was damn serious, but I also know that Natasha had little life in her and she could lose it if I don't act fast and smart."Try it and breathe your last!" The words came out of my mouth before I could even think.Sonia hissed in frustration, now pointing the gun at me. "Why are you even here?" She barked. "Don't tell me that you're here because Lucien sent you?" "That's one pathetic thing for anyone to think." I started. "The reason for my being here is none of your business. Give me Natasha and let's get this over with!" The last part was more like a command. "Do you think she would automatically fall for you if you save her?" I knew she was trying to get into my mind and play with my reasoning, but I wasn't going to give her that chance."Sonia!" Her name left my mouth in a low and threatening growl. I was losing my patience. "You're supposed to be with me in this, bring them down and clear the way for us to take over the throne." "Damon... This is your

Lycan King's Rebel Bride
My heart felt like it had been ripped from my chest, my world shattered into a million and one pieces. I couldn’t breathe, couldn’t move, couldn’t speak. All I could do was stare, my eyes fixed on the unreasonable scene before me.
“L...Lucia...” my father stuttered, his face flushed with embarrassment and guilt as he immediately lifted his underwear. “It’s not what it seems...”
But I didn’t want to hear it. I didn’t want to hear their excuses.
“Lucia!” Beta Mario called out, his heart pounding heavily as he swallowed a heavy lump.
“Mate?” I said and a pained chuckle escaped my lips.
Goddess! How could you let this realisation come to me now— my cheating asshole boyfriend is— my mate.
My lifelong wish had come to pass… I found my mate. And he happened to be my childhood lover, same guy who had been my boyfriend for two years. It should have been fun, this should have been a happy moment. But there was a painful twist. My dad and my mate were secret lovers, or would I rather say ‘fuck buddies’.
What could be worse than this?
I turned, ready to run off. My heart was already split and I knew that any more second there could make me even more furious, but there was still one thing I was yet to do.
“One more thing...”
“No, please Lucia... you can’t take decisions in haste. I swear I really like you...”
“I Lucia Herod of Crescent land pack reject you Beta Mario of Crescent land pack.”
I'm glad I rejected him— that cheating asshole.
But then, the goddess wasn't done with her surprises.
"I want you to become my wife!" The Lycan King said, causing everyone's jaw to drop.

Chapter: 91: Do you like it?LuciaMom walked me up to him, giving me a kiss on my cheeks before she let my hand go softly into his. He took my hands and helped me come up to the altar.He smiled directly at me, murmuring something so low that if I hadn't been able to read his lips I wouldn't have known what he said.“You look breathtaking" he had said.I wasn't able to make a reply because the priest began to speak. I noticed then that both Dylan and Andrew were behind Rhein, his groomsmen.“Welcome to the marriage and holy matrimony of both Lucia and Rhein, the king and queen of this kingdom. As we bring these two together, we pray that the goddess bless them both” he started.There was a small agreement behind us and he continued. He stated the standard vows of his, making sure we repeated after him.After that, to seal the deal, he

Chapter: 90: You are in LoveLuciaBack at the hotel, mom and I reached faster than Daisy so she met us up at the room. Mom and I had begun to arrange everything we had bought when she arrived.“I just had to check into my room, a floor below yours, so I'm here to help for tonight" she announced when she waltzed in and took a seat.Mom and I exchanged a glance, shaking our heads at her happiness. It felt like she was the one getting married instead. There wasn't much to do except arrange and make sure we did everything in time.She was the one who had the plans for how the day would go. She had it on her tablet which she opened to show the both of us.“It's quite easy actually. But then you're the bride, you'll be spending the whole day doing this” Daisy told me as we both read through it.The first thing on the list was going to the church where Rhein wou

Chapter: 89: Prince CharmingRheinWe continued testing out the dresses after the emotional moment had passed. Mom gave me one last hug before letting me go.Daisy gave one last look at the dress before asking me to go ahead. I went to the changing room and put on the second gown.This one was one of my favorites and I was happy to put it on. I knew it would be exactly what I was looking for. The girl that had followed me helped me zip up.When she was finished, I looked in the mirror, seeing how elegant the dress made me look and loving it so much. It was flowing, the way I had always thought my wedding dress would be.I went out back into the main room where mom and Daisy were. They both let a gasp out when they saw what I had on. Mom stood up to come closer.Daisy grinned, “I don't even think you need to try anything else. Seriously, this is too beautiful." She gus

Chapter: 88: Everything was ChangingLuciaOnce they were there. He left and I rushed to go eat. The food was good but somehow, I couldn't stop thinking about the food at home.It was strange how I was missing it. When I finished eating, I took the trolley with the dirty plates to the front of the lift, covering it so the dirty plates weren't on display.I went back to the bed, picking my phone up so I could call mom. She was late again and we had so much to do today, we couldn't waste time.My phone had just sent a call across when I heard a beep. I looked around, wanting to see what it was. It was from the phone in the room.I went to it and picked it up, “Good morning ma'am. Someone says she's here to see you." It was the receptionist's voice and she gave me mom's name.I told her she was my mother, to let her come up with a card of hers. After that the call ended and I st

Chapter: 87: In LoveLuciaWe went down and into the dining room to get dinner. I felt a happiness I didn't think I would in anticipation for the day that was coming.It was strange because I had spent so long running away and wishing it didn't happen. It had been a while but slowly, I had been getting over it.“Or maybe you're just in love" Lara told me, she had been pushing that idea on me for a while but I refused to believe it.I wasn't in love, I was just comfortable with him. I had learnt so much about him that he and I had grown a closeness I hadn't thought possible.Dinner was great, the food tasted a little different, in a good way because it was beyond delicious. Maybe it was a gift for the upcoming wedding.When we finished eating, I left the room much earlier than everyone else. I needed to pack because tomorrow morning, I would be leaving here.

Chapter: 86: At least FiveLuciaA week had gone by since the press conference and since then, everything had died out. The media had run with a story against Alpha Herod.It took intervention from Rhein for them to let it go and for everything to slowly die down. Now, we were able to move freely without any scrutiny.The wedding was in two days and that meant that I had to leave the house by morning. I was supposed to go back to the pack house but I couldn't go any more.I couldn't go back to where Alpha Herod was, I knew he would be far from welcoming. Rhein hadn't said how he had gotten the evidence to the public but I'm sure he had guessed it.He wasn't stupid and he knew the only possible way would have to be someone who knew the INS and outs of the house quite well.Mom had contacted me a few days ago to talk about it. She still wanted to be a part of everything, do
