Iris's POV

I rolled on my bed, groaning for the umpteenth time as I was bored. I had taken my bath earlier, got dressed and eaten breakfast. I also spoke with my mum to make sure she was alright.

She said my father had been calm these days, and had never beaten her in a long time. This was very unusual, but I was glad that she was fine. At least I wouldn't worry much about her.

Thoughts of last night flowed in, and I covered my face with my pillow, groaning and kicking my legs up. It was so embarrassing the more I thought of it.

Samantha and Eloise had gone to eat their breakfast, and I was alone and extremely bored. I was getting tired of this routine, waking, freshening up, eating breakfast and scrolling away on my phone.

Come to think of it, I was more like a prisoner. I had never stepped out of this mansion since I arrived. I was the so-called Luna yet I didn't even know what the pack looked like. But…I hadn't asked if I could go out.

Going out meant he’d have to know, which mea

    Iris's POV When she mentioned that she couldn't remember her family, I suggested we take a break and talk about the issue at hand. I was sure it had something to do with the book.“When did you notice that you couldn't remember anything about your family?” I asked.“Let's say…some years after I was sucked into the book. It's like after each day of torture, a part of my memories gets wiped away. But I do know that I have a family. Who they are, I can't seem to remember. Who I was, I don't know.” She punched the neatly trimmed grass frustratingly.“I hate to be a burden to anyone. I followed you, thinking that if I got to the real world, I might remember something but it seemed it only got worse.” She rose up, dusting her trousers.“It isn't your fault, it's not like you did it on purpose. I'm sure your family would be looking for you. We can put up poster or something, then your family can come find you. But until then, you can stay here.” I offered her a smile which she returned.I d

    Lucian’s POVAfter I was done with breakfast, I went to my study. Through my father's portrait, I went through the secret void and down to the secret dungeon. “Milord.” One of the dungeon guards walked towards me, bowing.“Where's the head guard?”“He is inspecting the prisoners. Do you want me to go get him?”“Yes.” Few seconds later, he arrived with the head guard.“Milord.” He bowed.“Get me Raj.” I ordered.He bowed and left while I waited. A moment later, he arrived dragging a chained Raj whose expression turned to the one of fear immediately he saw me.“Let me go! Ahhh, somebody, help me!” He yelled.“Aren't you tired of this Raj? Screaming for help when you know clearly that no one would come to save you. Pathetic.” I said, my teeth clicking.“Guess what Raj? You’d be seeing the sunset today. I'm taking you out, and it's going to be fun.” I flashed him a grin.“Please stop. I think the torture you’ve made me pass through is enough for my crimes. Just kill me already.” He sobb

    Lucian's POV I walked into the council, with Azariel and Ariel by my side. All gazes were on me, to be precise; the book in my hands. I intentionally raised it up slightly, and ran my fingers on it.“You're enjoying this aren't you? You sure have a knack for trouble.” Azariel shook his head slightly.“I lovee the attention.” Ariel grinned, as he eyed the book.“Can I hold it too? So all eyes would be on me.” He requested, and I handed it over to him.Whispers flew here and there, as the people passing had shocked expressions on their faces. Giving Ariel the book was a wrong decision to anyone as he would do too much, but it was for that reason I gave it to him.“Yayyy, I’ve got my hands on the book of illusions.” He looked like a child who had been given a piece of sweet.“I should have just choked him when he was born.” Azariel sighed as he threw a glance at Ariel.Ariel's behaviour drew more attention as we walked into the main building where the meeting was to be held.At the hall

    Iris's POV I heaved for breath inside the boot, I might pass out at any moment if I didn't inhale fresh air. Rhea and I were squeezed inside the boot, and clearly, there was someone or something else with us.“Rhea.” I called, huffing. “Let's push against the boot.” We groaned, as we tried to push open the boot but to no avail. I felt my strength depleting fast and I knew I would definitely black out soon.“Let's try, one more time.” I said, my voice barely a whisper.We pushed again with our last strength, and if it didn't open; we’d be gone. Eventually, the boot opened slightly and fresh air seeped in. I gasped, as I inhaled the air.Together, we pushed it open fully and sluggishly dragged ourselves out. There were other cars packed behind it. I stood up, walking out from behind the car. I could see a tall, large building with people walking to and fro in it.“Woww! What is this place?” I gasped.“Looks like some kind of work place.” Rhea muttered from behind.“Wait a minute, are

    Iris's POV So there was another Lucian with a bad, infamous reputation. Maybe any man bearing Lucian, would definitely have atrocities accompanying his name.This kind woman had helped up, but there was a problem; we didn't have any money for a cab. The right thing a normal person would do in this situation was to wait for Lucian and explain everything to him, but I had seen and heard quite enough to know what he was capable of.“Kind ma’am.” I began.“You can call me Dianne.” She smiled.“Do you know where the beast king might be?” I asked.“Hmm, I guess he must be in a meeting if he is here.” She replied.“And…take this. You’ll need it for a cab.” She fished out a ward of cash and handed it over to us.I was bewildered, and surprised at the same time. Did she read my mind? Just now, I was thinking of how I would ask her for some money without looking awkward. But instead, she had helped me out.No matter how expensive the cab drivers charged, I doubted that it would be up to the am

    Lucian’s POV “That was one way to handle the issue. You were riling them up Lucian, they’d be after you.” Azariel stated.“I didn't do anything.” I looked at him innocently, “If there was any one that pissed the council members, give accolades to your brother.”“I’ll take that as a compliment, thank you Luci.” Ariel grinned which further irked Azariel.“Wait!” Someone called from the back, it was Beom.He stood in front of us, heaving.“You look like you ran several kilometres. Meanwhile you only ran from the hall to this place.” I stated.“You!” He raised his fingers. “You always find ways to annoy me.”“I'm here for you Azariel.” He crossed his arms, facing Azariel.“Since you faked your death, you didn't say anything to me. I guess that's how it is now, right? You made everyone worried.” He gritted his teeth.“Quick notice, I wasn't worried. His burial would have been an emotional one.” I said in a monotone voice.“I'm sorry.” Azariel gave a light smile, his voice unusually deeper

    Iris's POV “You definitely said Blood rune, now that we are here; you're telling me that it's blood moon. Come off it bitches!” The cab driver yelled, his voice rough.I clenched my fist, I was pissed. I clearly mentioned the blood moon pack to him, and here he was denying it. I took a deep breath, calming myself before I said someone that might cause a fight.“She clearly said blood moon. If there's something wrong with your ear, you should have said so earlier. You don't get to speak to her like that.” Rhea, who had been quiet, snapped.“That might rile him up and he might get violent, we wouldn't stand a chance against him. Let's talk to him amicably.” I whispered in her ears.“Wow! Now you have the guts to speak that way, two eyed bitch.” He spat,.facing Rhea. “Now get the hell out of my car. Now!”He got down from the car, yelling at us to get down.“Please mister, we can settle this without you being violent.” I said as we got out of the car.He paused as he stopped yelling. He

    Huh? Did he just say Lucian? I sat on the ground as I stared at his outstretched hand. Then I remembered Dianne's words.“There are two Lucians, the mad king and the beast king.”The beast king was the one I lived with, my nightmare. Then this man in front of me would be the….mad king.The mad king…the one who Dianne said flayed one of his wives, was standing right in front of me. I gulped as my heart beat rapidly. I looked at the corpses one more time and then at his hands, which had blood stains on them. He had saved us from these men.“Oops. My hands are stained, sorry about that.” He wiped his hands and stretched it forth at me again.I gulped as I slowly took his hand and he lifted me up.“Can you walk by yourself or do you need me to carry you?” He asked.“No, thanks. I’ll be fine.” I rejected immediately with an awkward smile.“Thank you for saving us.” I muttered with a slight bow.“It's nothing. It's just my gentle manliness that's slowly coming back, I thought I lost it.”

    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

  • BRIDE OF THE BEAST LYCAN KING   Special One

    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
