ADELINE

The council room was cold, with a heaviness in the air I refused to pay attention to. I walked down to take a seat in one of the chairs at the long table in the middle of the room, blatantly refusing to look at anyone because I knew exactly what they were thinking.

What on earth was I doing here?

I could almost see the question marks forming above their heads as they regarded me, some with surprise, others with disdain. But I had already decided that I did not care.

  • Accidentally Mated To The Ruthless Lycan King   Chapter 110: Pregnancy Scents

    ADELINE The room was too quiet. The only sound was the scratching of Dominic’s pen and the occasional crackle of the logs in the fireplace. Dominic had told me to work here. He didn’t say why, but I knew. He didn't trust me. He wanted to watch me. I sat at a small desk near the window. It was far away from his big desk, but I could still feel him. I could also smell him; a deep, woodsy scent that made my wolf want to get up and walk over to him. I had to keep my head down and focus on the numbers.Sighing, I started to write a note about what I’d noticed so fat, but then my stomach turned and a sharp, sick wave hit me out of nowhere. I dropped my pen and gripped the edge of the desk, gasping. My face felt cold, and the room seemed to spin. I closed my eyes and tried to breathe slowly.Not now. Please, not now. Not here. I couldn't let him see me like this. If he saw me getting sick every morning, he would start asking questions. He would call the healer. And if the healer looked a

    ADELINEThe council room was cold, with a heaviness in the air I refused to pay attention to. I walked down to take a seat in one of the chairs at the long table in the middle of the room, blatantly refusing to look at anyone because I knew exactly what they were thinking.What on earth was I doing here? I could almost see the question marks forming above their heads as they regarded me, some with surprise, others with disdain. But I had already decided that I did not care. Usually, I tried to make myself small in settings like these. I would sit at the very end, keeping my head down, hoping Dominic wouldn’t look at me with those eyes that felt like daggers. The only time I had ever joined a meeting or even offered any opinion on anything regarding pack matters was during the Alpha Samuel saga when I challenged the elders. But since then, I had not done anything of the sort. But today was different.I had spent the last three nights awake, huddled over old ledgers and messy stacks

  • Accidentally Mated To The Ruthless Lycan King   Chapter 108: With Me Or Against Me

    ADELINE I was still trembling slightly as I walked out of the room and shut the door behind me. I had been adamant on sleeping there no matter what happened, but I couldn’t cross Dominic. Despite how used to him I was, there was no forgetting that in all, he was still the Lycan King, and it didn’t take much to remember how he’d gotten his reputation in the first place.I didn’t want to be scared of him, but the sheer power oozing off him when he commanded me to leave was too strong for me to contest. I couldn’t have refused even if I wanted to, and that hurt me. How could he side Vivian and not me? He barely even knew her. Or maybe they had a history I didn’t know of. But what I heard was that the alliance between them had been arranged years ago, so it couldn’t possibly be that he liked her.Either way, I was still deeply hurt. ‘Don’t take it to heart,’ Tara said. ‘He’s just doing his duty. She’s the Princess and he has to treat her well.’“Oh please, you’re defending him even aft

  • Accidentally Mated To The Ruthless Lycan King   Chapter 107: A Battle Of Wills

    DOMINICFrom where I sat on the bed, I watched Adeline carefully, wondering where this sudden courage had sprung from. I hadn’t expected her to come into my bedroom at all, seeing as she seemed to be avoiding anything that would make her cross paths with me or Vivian. But tonight, there was a fire in her eyes that reminded me of the very first time she had stood up to me in her study, angrily daring me to kill her if I wanted. And although the last thing I wanted was to pay attention to her, that caught my attention, stirring something hot in the pit of my stomach. She was so confident and audacious it made me recall why I’d fallen for her in the first place. Suddenly, I froze at that line of thought. Falling for her? Since when? No. I brushed that thought to the side instantly. What happened between Adeline and I was a glitch, and a temporary one at that, and it would never repeat itself, especially not after all I’d learned about her. I refused to associate myself with anyone e

  • Accidentally Mated To The Ruthless Lycan King   Chapter 106: Reclaiming Authority

    ADELINE It was a tiny, lacy, blood red nightdress with thin straps that was so short it barely covered her butt. I tried not to gape at her but that was proving difficult. Was she trying to seduce him? Tara was muttering curses and feeling so restless that it was rubbing off on me. I found myself starting to feel a bit jealous. Scratch that. A lot. Very, very jealous. I felt a sharp need to protect my territory. Considering that I was just telling Tara a few minutes ago that Dominic did not belong to us, this was a very sudden shift, but I didn’t care. I felt primal and territorial and the feeling was refusing to go away. The last time I felt like this was at the retreat, when I thought Dominic’s childhood friend, Clarissa, was trying to make a move on him and getting too close for my liking. “Ugh,” Vivian scoffed with disgust when her eyes fell on me. But then she saw the blanket in my hand and she raised an eyebrow, her expression shifting into one of amusement. “Oh, you’re l

  • Accidentally Mated To The Ruthless Lycan King   Chapter 105: Towels and Nightdresses

    ADELINE “What am I supposed to do now?” I asked Tara. It was nightfall and I had just returned to Dominic’s chambers, but I was still standing right outside the door, hesitating to go inside. After my interaction with Giselle I’d spent the whole day in isolation, trying to soak up all my emotions and just let it hurt. I felt all sorts of things; pain, sadness, and anger that was only now beginning to brew. Why did it always have to be me? Why couldn’t I just have something good for once? I was so tired of being made a fool of, being bullied, being deceived and taken advantage. I just wanted to live freely for once in my life without fear that everything I had would disappear sooner than I expected.I wanted something real and kind and easy. Didn’t I deserve that? Thinking of it now fueled an ache in my chest and I quickly brushed it off. I had already promised myself that I would make an effort to stop thinking about it so much. I was tired of crying and feeling sorry for myself.

Every time he exhaled, his skin looked a little paler.He just looked so pale. I couldn’t help but worry, wondering how he had fallen so sick. He was a Lycan, they were
