Elysia’s POV

“Marry me.” He whispered, his eyes meeting mine.

My eyes widened as I frozed, my heart skipped and for a moment I forgot how to breathe.

‘After I just revealed all I went through about 48 hours ago, he wants me to marry him. How does getting married to him and dealing with my enemies correlate?’,I thought.

He snapped his fingers twice, bringing me back to reality. My lips parted but no words came out.

“Marry me Elysia.” He repeated, as his lips curled into a smile, he tucked a strand of brown hair to the back of his ear.

I frowned and pulled away from him.

‘Was he planning to use me too?’ I thought, I wanted to say yes but I didn’t want to get caught in another trap.

He got up preparing to leave. “I understand this is a lot to take in , I will send a pack guard soon to protect you”.

“Let me know when you think about it .” Those were his last words before slamming the door behind me.

A heavy sigh escaped my lips, feeling a mix of emotions.. anger and disgust.

The door creaked open and Sarah entered, she was carrying a tray of food and I could perceive the smell of the herbs the pack doctor gave me .

“Sarah, you’re back?” I asked rhetorically, crawling out of the bed to assist her.

The aroma of the food filled the room, my tummy growled and I realized I haven’t eaten.

I devoured the meat and the rest of the food till I was full and content.

Then I faced Sarah, “Adrian came by,” I explained to Sarah, watching her emotions closely.

Sarah adjusted herself on the bed and signed. “What did he say?”

I laughed out loud till my belly started to ache, “He said I should marry him” trying to catch my breath

Sarah raised a brow twitching her head in surprise. “What!” Her eyes widened in disbelief.

“He said he wanted to help me make those bastards pay for what they did to me, but the only condition was for me to accept him,” I explained.

Sarah reached out for the herbs and handed it over to me, I could stand the smell but not the taste. I gulped it up so it won’t get cold.

“Don’t you think accepting him will give you power and he will also be able to protect you?” Sarah mumbled under her breath.

Maybe Sarah was right afterall , I wanted to teach those bastards lessons that will hurt them for ever but at the same time I didn’t want to depend on another man after my experience. I stood up and begin to roam around the room, lost in thoughts

I will not dwell in this too much , all I wanted was power so I can make my enemies regret what they did.

I was without a wolf , I can’t possibly do deal with them on my own.

Sarah was on her phone while I was trying to make a decision.

“I will marry him,” my voice loud and steady.

Sarah’s eyes widened in disbelief, “is that what you want?” She asked, watching my emotions closely .

“You mentioned that he is a Lycian king and he was sent by the moon goodness to save me. Since power, protection getting back at my enemies is all I want, then I will marry him” I said and brushed my hair to the back.

I changed into a silk rainbow colored gown that clung to my to my curves perfectly and exposed a little part of my cleavage .

Sarah watched me closely , “what are you doing?” She asked.

“I want to see him today.” She answered , adjusting her hair. Adrain was the man she needed at this point as a stepping stone to becoming a new and better version of herself , power was the only thing that mattered at this point.

Sarah crawled out of the bed , her movement was sluggish because she was tired. She couldn’t bring herself to let me go on my own.

We both dressed up and slammed the door behind us. A man approaches us, judging from the way he was dressed I figured he must be the pack guard Adrian mentioned he was going to send.

“Where are you going ladies? I was asked to guard this room,” he explained.

Before a word escaped my lips, Sarah swiftly responded to the pack guard. “We want to see the king.”

I was reluctant to meet Adrain again, I sighed as I followed the park guard behind.

He led me and Sarah to go see Adrain, the Lycian king.

We arrived at the Moonshade garden, I have heard of moonshade garden at a very tender age.

I was told nothing dies there, Flowers are always blooming every season .

The garden scents were heavenly and even the fallen leaves never withered.

A beautiful flower caught my attention.

I reached out to touch it, my hands brushing the petals gently. Suddenly I heard rustling sounds from the other side of the garden but I didn’t flinch.

I stood still admiring the flower. “You can pluck it if you want,” A man’s coarse voice interrupted

I turned around and our eyes met, I could hear my heartbeat .

He was even more beautiful under the sun, I could clearly see his grey eyes .

Strands of his hair felt across his face and I gently brushed them away with my hands.

“I will marry you.” I summoned the courage to talk.

He wrapped his hand around my waist, pulling me gently against him.

He was aiming for my lips but I turned my face, allowing his lips to brush my cheeks.

“So you have decided to be my queen?” He chuckled, still holding my waist.

“But we have to make a deal,” I said , releasing myself from his grip.

He stared at me, his gaze met mine .

I took a deep breath, “ I will be your queen on only one condition”.
