Lucian’s POV

Azariel had dropped the kids at the council, where their fates would be decided as most of their parents were dead. But surviving ones could come to identify if their kids were among the rescued kids.

Roman and Uriel were dropped at my friend, Lance’s house. He was a doctor that specialises in many areas. I knew he would be able to handle them.

Beom went back to the council after cursing at Azariel several times for making him worry by faking his death. The ride home was silent, the day had been tiring and I shut my eyes, taking a nap. One of the guild assassins did the driving, while Azariel laid on the back seat, exhausted.

All I wanted now was to go to sleep, despite the nightmares. After some minutes, the car slowly came to a halt and my eyes snapped open.

“My lord, we’ve arrived.” The assassin said as he opened the door. “I’ll be taking my leave now.”

I nodded, as I glanced at Azariel who sluggishly rose up before stepping out of the car with a mumble. Ivan sighted

    Iris's POVI was surrounded by more creatures, both male and female that looked like Barbrooke.“Who are you? And what do you want?” I asked, as I tried to keep my gazes on each one of them.There were about five of them, plus Barbrooke making them six.“Ah, she's a new one.” One exclaimed and the others began repeating the words, guwaffing.“Yes, a stupid one at that. She called flowers boring!” Barbrooke yelled.The others' eyes widened, like they had just heard a taboo.“She called flowers what?” One of the females shouted.“Boring!” Barbrooke exclaimed.“How dare she?” Another howled.“Let’s deal with her immediately.” One said.“I wish we could, but the madam is not back yet. She's busy.” Barbrooke shook his head solemnly.“Wait! But we could have some fun with her, a little designs and carving on her skin doesn't sound bad. And besides we aren't going deep, the madam would love it!” The woman from earlier shouted.“Yes!”“Yes!”“Yes!”The others chanted repeatedly, and I could s

    Iris's POV I rummaged through his pockets, and I found a bunch of keys. I picked it up, rushing towards the man.“Don't worry mister, you'll be free soon.” I said as I inserted one of the keys into the lock of the chain to which he was bound.It didn't work. There were numerous keys, and I didn't know which one was for his lock. “Please, please, please.” I muttered as I kept on trying different keys.I had to set him free before someone catches me. If I were caught, I’d be as good as dead and I didn't even want to think about what they would do to me.“Don't bother about it. Even if you managed to get the lock open, I wouldn't still be free.” The man said, shaking his head with a small smile.“Huh? What do you mean mister?” I paused.“You see, I’ve been here for a long time and they've extracted so much pain from me that I’m just not moved by it. I bet my pains must have broken a great deal of the realm.” He chuckled dryly.“I don't understand…” I looked at him, confused.“First of

    Lucian's POV I jumped into the hole in the book, ignoring Ariel's scream. The only thing on my mind was seeing Iris safe. After falling for a long time, I landed on flowers. I hadn't been to this realm before, but the seer at the council had been able to peel into what it looked like. A place filled with flowers, trees and colourful butterflies which was the perfect illusion in contrast to what was actually going on here.I looked around, but there was no sign of anybody. The mansion where the prisoners were kept should be nearby. Iris must have been taken by the floweries.I hopped from tree to tree, advancing forward but I found no mansion. There was no route and that made it harder. Everywhere was just covered by silly, annoying flowers that irked me. The place was too bright to my liking.As I hopped on another tree, I felt something pierced me from my back. I reached out for it and pulled it out, it was an arrow. I guess my presence has been noticed.I continued hopping from tr

    “You’re interesting.” A feminine voice said.I turned to see the queen of the floweries sitting on her throne, decked with numerous flowers.I simply ignored and faced Iris, with the intent to leave with her.“Please let's save them too.” She begged, her eyes filled with worry as she stared back at the tattered man and the young woman.She watched me, waiting for a response but I said nothing.“I’ll take that as a yes.” She mumbled as she rushed to loosen them both.The guards only watched with frowns on their faces, and gritted teeth. The corpse of their subordinates was enough warning to keep away from me.She loosened them before they began whispering something amongst themselves. Then with sad eyes, she held the hands of the young woman and looked back at the man who had an assuring smile on.“Now that you’ve riled them up, how do we leave here alive?” She whispered.“Don't worry, little mouse.” I said, patting her hair and the expression on her face was priceless.“We might be ca

He just saved me, and a stranger we both didn't know.Lucian spoke like it was my fault that the book dragged me in. He spoke to me like I was some curious kid that touches everything she sees. I was in the library, I picked a book to read without knowing how dangerous it was. Maybe I should have just ignored the book, then all these wouldn't happen. But then, I was grateful that I was alive thanks to him, and I was able to save someone else from a horrible fate.My heart was saddened by the thought of the mister I had met. If the queen of the floweries kept to her words, then the man would be safe. I couldn't believe I just went through such an ordeal, and meeting psychopaths who had twisted ideas of happiness. But according to the mister, it was to break the realm so that they could go to the outsid

    Lucian’s POV After I left Iris’s room, I received the book of illusions from Ivan. It was to be returned to the council for it to be kept holy ground; its rightful place.I walked to the general library, with the intent of seeing Kael. There was more to Iris, and it was slowly becoming more evident. It would be bad if news of her upcoming ability gets to the wrong ears.Not everyone could see Kael, even some of the powerful beings couldn't see him, yet Iris who was wolf-less, saw him. “Show yourself, idiot.” I said, as I hopped onto a table, tilting my head to the side.“You haven't changed, disrespectful brat.” A child’s voice echoed in the library.“You speak a lot for someone so small. Don't forget I could easily stomp on you, and you’d be forgotten, kid.” I smirked.“Don't call me that!” He snapped. “You remind me of a girl I met earlier. She saw me as a kid and spoke to me like I was her little brother or something. Urggh.” He groaned.My lips curled, I knew who he was referrin

    Iris's POV I took a step backwards, as my heart pounded so rapidly that I felt it might burst out of its rib cage. I was done for, his cold, icy blue eyes stared straight at me that I felt he could see my thoughts.What should I do? Should I run? “Yes, run!” A voice whispered.I took another step backwards, gulping. I opened my mouth to say something, but no word came out. Then he slowly stood, and I could see how tall he was. “Damn it.” I muttered as I backed away. Lucian took one step forward, covering all the steps I had taken. Was he trying to show off the fact that he had long legs?The more he got closer, I took a step backwards till my back hit the table. He stood right in front of me, that we were barely an inch apart. I panicked, my heart beat increasing. At this rate, I feared I might have a heart attack.“I’m…I’m sorry. I…I..I didn't mean to do that.” I apologised, my last resort.He said nothing, still staring at me intently and I was tempted to ask if there was someth

    Lucian’s POV Iris looked so scared as she backed away slowly. Her eyes widened that she looked like a little mouse caught stealing or doing something wrong; and that she was.I watched every single expression that passed through her face. She was all over the place, too scared of me. Strangely, I couldn't explain what I felt now. I should be happy that she was scared of me, after all, I couldn't let her get too close or think I was a bit kind.She was having a good time, poking my face with the end of a feather and it was obviously an act of revenge. Then she began stuttering that she was sorry. But we both knew she didn't mean it one bit. I said nothing but instead kept my gaze on her which only worsened things on her part.And I intentionally stood close to her, knowing how much fear it would put in her. Then she began stuttering again, about how she was pissed because I spoke to her like she was a kid.I see. I thought in my head and felt amused. So this was what all these was a

    Iris's POV The shadow idiots laid in the bed with a wide grin in his faces. At this moment, the temptation to punch it off further increased.After much contemplation, I decided to open the door. I'd shield the door with my body so Rhea wouldn't look in, then I'd leave the room with her. When I get back, I'll give the idiots a nice piece of my mind before sending him away.I took a deep breath, throwing Darius one last look before heading towards the door. I raised my hands to the door handle and slowly unlocked it, making sure my body covered the space. I looked forward, but instead of Rhea, it was a man and a familiar scent hit my nose. It was a combination of earth, and mint. Then I slowly looked up to meet a pair of familiar icy blue eyes that I had somehow gotten used to."Lucian." I whispered as my heart skipped several beats.What the hell was he doing here?Wasn't he supposed to be in his study, at work or somewhere?"Work? It's evening girl." That nosy voice whispered.I sc

    Lucian's POV I sighed, finding Kaiza was looking like a Herculean task. I wondered if it was something Baran would be able to do. I left Zurich's body and didn't bother to clear it.We left the shack and drove off, back to the mansion. It was evening already, and everywhere was very calm. I passed through the garden, expecting to see the musketeers but they weren't there as well.I had to see Gaius, to warn him not to play such stunts with Iris like he did the last time. Ivan had once reported that while Iris and her maids were in the garden having lunch, a dagger had been thrown at her.Plus the musketeers were also in the garden that same time, having their usual picnic. Although Ivan didn't mention names, it was clear he also knew who it was from his tone.It obviously wasn't Ivana, she hadn't really seen and interacted with Iris. Neither was it Michael, all that he loved were food, drinks and fun. Which leaves only Gaius, it was definitely him.He must have sense that Iris was wo

    Lucian's POV "Tell me Lucian. How many days does your new prey have before she gets missing? Days? Weeks? Months? Years? What would it be?" Zurich, Mica's brother said as he walked around us in the shack, running his sword on the walls."Who knows." I voiced in reply."It seems you don't have time for jokes today Lucian. Then let's get down to business. Where is Mica?" He asked as his eyes flashed red."I don't want to believe that she's dead, like the rest of your other wives. Tell me where she is and if she's alive, I might spare you. But if she isn't, you know the answer." He said."Okay. What would happen if she's maybe half alive, with her body parts butchered and mutilated? What a beautiful sight." I taunted, enjoying the look of rage on his face."You're doing this to piss me off right? I know she isn't dead." He smiled, but he gripped his sword harshly."Well...hope is a good thing. And Azariel here agrees with me right?" Azariel only glared at me in response."You are cunni

    Iris's POV My eyes slowly opened, adjusting to the dimness of the room. I rose up and stretched my hands towards the curtain, opening it. It was evening already, and everywhere was turning dark.I stood up from my bed, and walked towards the switch, turning on the lights. I was not a fan of darkness or dark places, even during the night, I slept with the lights on. Not that I was scared of the dark, but I just preferred the lights on.But wait a minute, have how did I get here?I remembered I was at the garden with Samantha, Eloise and Rhea. We were painting, then the next moment we were training. And then we started talking and things started to go wrong. I recalled us talking about Lucian, and I suddenly felt overwhelmed and a panging headache.I also recalled walking out of the garden and heading towards my room. But I didn't remember opening the door myself, something gripped me before I collapsed.My eyes widened, it was the shadow. I remembered the feeling of its shadowy hands

  • BRIDE OF THE BEAST LYCAN KING   Mica's Assassin

    Lucian's POV It was a wonder how the news was just getting to the council now, especially as it was a very crucial one involving the lives of little girls.This was further shedding light on the fact that someone from the council had a hand in all these."I've just been receiving reports lately on the missing girls." The head council began, "Report has it that they are being snatched away by unknown people. Their locations are being looked into.""We need to find a way to curb this. First it was the Wellington massacre, and I heard little girls were the main target. This would mean that there's someone else behind the scene who wants to use these girls for something we do not know of." He said as he balanced his glasses, peering at the seated men."I'll need the alphas to enforce able guards in every section of their packs. The council will also be doing its part as we would be dispatching various detectives, investigators, and hunters to solve the issue at hand." He continued."If a

    Iris's POV My heart skipped several times, as I read the message again."I see you, your friend from the prison."The only prison I had ever been to, was the one Lucian put me in at the time I tried to escape. The memories of that night came flooding in. From how I sat in the eerie prison, to the shadowy presence and my cry for help. And how Lucian came to my rescue before I blacked out.What does it want from me? I gulped as I darted my eyes about in the garden. The place was calm, and it was like something didn't happen."What's wrong Iris? What does the letter say?" Rhea asked as she stretched her head to take a peek."Urggh. I can't see it." She groaned before snatching the letter and going through the contents."So you have another friend now that we have no idea of, eh?" She queried with her brows raised.Eloise and Samantha also threw me questioning gazes."And when did you go to prison?" Samantha asked, looking puzzled.Oh, scratch that. I didn't even tell them about what ha

    Iris's POV After the incident earlier, in which Ariel had taken us to the black market to get information from the top wrestler. I was with Samantha and Eloise, and we were painting in the garden. Rhea would join us later.I had been trying my best to avoid seeing Lucian these days after that incident between us. "Your painting is beautiful, milady," Samantha uttered with a smile."Don't flatter me, it isn't all that." I chuckled as I splashed paint on the drawing like I had seen on those YouTube videos.Before I would die of boredom, I decided to paint. Some days back, I had thought of asking Lucian if I could go out, but with the way things were between us now, I didn't think I had the balls to do that.My mind went to the council, and I developed an instant love for it. I loved the building and the way the people were dressed. I have done research, and one can apply to the council. Then there would be physical, oral and written exams. Being a council member sounded more fun than

  • BRIDE OF THE BEAST LYCAN KING   The Attack

    Lucian's POV The sound of fire hissing could be heard as it devoured the car. Meanwhile, Azariel and I watched from a nearby tree. Raj groaned occasionally as he was laid on a tree branch."Who do you think did this?" Azariel asked, rubbing his chin."I smell Nikolai and his master's doing.""But why do I feel that Konstantin has a hand in this? Maybe he somehow caught a hint that we were looking for, and launched this attack." Azariel brought another theory.There was no way it could be Konstantin. Maybe if his location was somewhere else, then he might be a suspect. But since his location was at Mount Averaj, their family house; then it wasn't him.The moment the fire started, Azariel quickly teleported to the car's boot and vanished with Raj, and I did the same. That was how I landed on this tree.We camouflage with trees, so that in case the attacker decito reveal his or herself, they wouldn't see us. Minutes passed by, and yet no sign of anybody."The person is probably waiting

    Lucian’s POV“They are back.” Ivan informed me as I trained.I hummed in response, and continued training. Dodging the bullets that came my way. There were several programmed machines, whose aim was to shoot out bullets. I was dodging each and every one of them without using my powers. I had quick reflexes, so I didn't find them quite hard. I imagined a situation whereby my powers were taken away from me, and I could only chuckle.Ariel had mentioned earlier that he was going to watch a fight at the black market. I knew Ariel too well to know that he got bored of those fights. So, he definitely had other intentions. He revealed that Vonn Averaj, the younger brother of Konstantin Averaj would be present at the fight.Vonn Averaj was a human, despite the fact that his brother was a god. Konstantin’s mother, who was a human, married another human after her first husband, who was a god, died. Vonn was their son, a step brother to Konstantin.He was known for his love for women, and his a
