Se connecterThe lycan prince was taken aback by the sight before him. He had not expected her to be all naked. He stood, wet and dripping, staring at the bruised and boiled body of Xylia as she lay on the bed.His anger boiled but it was not the only reaction he was having in that moment.His body was responding to the bruised body with marks all over it!Most men would have found her body unattractive but not for the Lycan prince. He was yearning for something he didn't want to yearn for.Xylia felt the shift in the air and knew he was in the room with her. She could not cover up, especially since her body felt cool. The stinging pain on her feet was now bearable because of the breeze touching it.The mate bond was at work between them both but neither wanted to act on it. For Xylia, she didn't know how to feel having sex with two brothers who hated each other, even though it was obvious she liked one more.As for the lycan prince, he had made it clear he did not want a mate. At least not yet!T
This time, the lycan king was unfortunate as his speed failed him in dodging the attack. The object hit him square in the face.He let out a growl that resounded both pain and anger, but he decided to control his anger. Barely controlling it though!"Kayden!" Xylia was quite stunned and speechless. She could not believe a fight was about to ensue between her two mates.Her friends and fellow maids were scared and alarmed. They also knew how heavy this fight between these two brothers was going to be.And since they were both strong in their own way, it would all the more make it worse.Gelia tugged at Xylia's wrist. "Do something. They'll kill themselves.""There's nothing I can do." The princess whispered back to Gelia."This fight is for your sake, Xylia. They'll kill each other." The fear was evident in Gelia's voice.Frella and Cecilia stood rooted to the spot, but one could tell the fear travelling through their bodies."This is not why I released you from that cell, Kayden. I do
The lycan prince was seated in the shadowy corner of the cell where he was confined.He was the only occupant of it. The magical cuffs were still around his wrist, subduing his powers and physical strength.He was weak but angry. How long would he stay here? He had tried to get these cuffs off his wrists, but he could not.Yet again, the lycan king had unmatched powers that he was eager to misuse, employing them exclusively for his own benefit."Hello, Kayden." The lycan king unlocked the cell with just the flick of a finger.Then he leisurely walked in."What do you want? Are you here to make fun of me? Fine, go on! Laugh! I hope you choke on it!" The lycan prince spat."I'm not here to laugh at you, Kayden. The plan was to send you back to Istra."The lycan prince knew he would not have the power to fight back so long as these cuffs remained on him. He felt defeated and that made me feel more like a failure.He had failed in his mission. Istra would devise new powerful ways to make
"Hello, Xylia." The lycan king stood at the entrance of her door dripping wet.The other maids, as soon as they set their sights on him, went on their knees in greeting with their heads bowed.Xylia, due to her body condition, could neither kneel nor stand, so she just bowed her head. "Good morning, King."Her tone and expression were bland. The lycan king could not read her thoughts."Good morning, My King." The three other maids greeted in unison."Raise your heads." He replied to the maids in acknowledgement of their greeting.They sat quietly and though in the room, they managed to pull themselves out of the picture while observing everything that was going on.It was going to be juicy gossip for when the lycan king left.Xylia wanted to ask if he had been in the rain but it was no business of hers. She was not his friend neither was she his wife.He might had forced her to accept the bond and become his mate, but it would take more than his ruthlessness to make her his wife."How
"Are you ready?" Frella had come into the room the following morning with a bowl of cold water and a tube of ointment.Xylia was just waking up. She had barely been able to sleep last night.She had ached all over and felt pains, especially in her joints and feet.She could not sleep with any clothes on, so she had to go to bed naked with just the bed covers concealing the lower part of her body."I need to take my bath." She wrapped the bedsheet around her."You'll need help. I'm coming, let me get someone to help with carrying you." Frella went out and returned minutes after with Gelia and Cecilia."You need help?" This was from Cecilia, who was already taking the left side of Xylia, ready to support her weight."Of course, she needs help." Gelia rolled her eyes.Cecilia paid her no mind. "I'm ready whenever you girls are."Xylia was carried into the bathroom since her feet were yet to heal and she could not walk with them just yet.The girls did not just leave her. They helped her
"Kyle Norman."He stirred but didn't wake."Kyle," The voice called again.The monarch changed his sleeping position, turning to the other side."Kyle Norman, wake up!" The strangely familiar voice whispered harshly in his ear. He jolted awake and fisted his hands, ready to fight. His gaze roamed the room but he did not see anyone."Who are you? Who's there? What do you want?" He asked, suddenly alert."We have an unfinished business." The voice said.As though he was being drowned in cold water, he jumped from the bed, recognizing the voice. He rushed into the bathroom and did his business.Whatever it was would have to wait. He knew where the thing was and who it was. As soon as he was done freshening up, he did not bother with breakfast.He left the palace and walked alone into a bush path. He did not go with any of his men. It was the same forest where he had caught Xylia spying on him."What do you want?!" He thundered."My sacrifice. You are not keeping to the end of your bargai
