RILEY

Ihad thought my arm would fall off from how hot I felt about Jude’s grip on my wrist.

But now, as he pulls me out of the rrom hurriedly, his grip gets tighter and I know there would be bruises there by morning.

He’s hurting me. But I don’t think he is aware off it, so I just let it happen.

“why are you holding her like that?”

I have no time to look towards Claire as she voices out her dislike, because I am still being pulled out of the room.

This, seems more to me like an escape.

From what exactly are we escapinmg from?

I believe that the proper thing to do here, if he wants to speak to me in private, is to ask Claire to excuse us. Ther is no point in leaving your space for a stranger.

Pain courses all over my left foot as it comes into harsh contact with the door frame.

“ouch.” I say unconscious at the impact of the pain.

Jude comes to an instant halt at that spot. Then he turns.

Joy begins to bloom in my chest like corn popping in a heated pot, that I have finally gotten g

  • MATED TO THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER NINETY-SIX

    RILEY“I don’t know how I feel about this.” I complain.“why?” Stefani asks without even looking at me.“My lady do you feel sick?”Martha asks, throwing all concern into that question.“I feel like we might get into trouble.” I explain.I do not know how Stefani had talked me ino dressing up in my simplest gown and pulled me to the entrance of the hall, which all three of us are standing in front of now.She had suggested we come for the maiden’s meeting.I had forgotten that Stefani liked adventures. She likes to push buttons to know what will happen if she does this, and what could occur if she does that.My brain, heart and mind had screamed ‘no’ when she had mentioned coming here, yesterday.I am yet to recover from the pained look Ryan never stopped sending my way when I didn’t go up to sit beside him on the Council space, and I don’t know, but I feel like this move of mine would annoy him the more.Stefani had somehow read my mind on the reason for my refusal.Then she asked me

  • MATED TO THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER NINETY-FIVE

    RYANSometimes, I wish I could do more.Not just me, but everyone that had grown with this childish dream of being a super person with super powers.Being a Lycan comes with being endowed with various enhancement of my senses. I can hear what is said from a mile away. And that is why I can hear every word coming out of my girl’s mouth. How sassy she had sounded when she spoke to Clara.My smelling ability is next to none. And that is why I caught the whiff of her scent once she stepped into this space. My sight is excellent, even in the dark. That is the exact reason why I was able to see her in the midst of this multitude. She shines, even in the crowd.My taste is quite selective, and that is why since it been long I held her and kissed her, every food coming into my mouth, tastes nothing but bland.My touch, her touch. Her in my arms, sizzling connection.But I want more.I want to be able to connect thoughts with her.That should be happening by now, if only I had made her total

  • MATED TO THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER NINETY-FIVE

    RILEYIt has been, two days and two nights since I spoke to Ryan.Two days and two nights of staying indoors with Stefani.Two days and two nights since I carried this guilt of talking to him like that. I could read his face. The expression of hurt on his face still hunts me. He looked like he wanted to tell me everything, but there was something in it that was so embarrassing to spill.It had hurt me that he feels he could be embarrassed with me.Well, that had just been a mere hurt, till I coiled back in here with my bundle, and Stefani had looked at me with that stern mother hen look of hers, then asked me; “If the tables were turned, would you do same for him?”It had shocked me about how intuitive she can be, because even till now, I haven’t told her a thing about what is going on between myself and Ryan, so how can she just analyze everything and give me such feedback.But she wasn’t wrong though.If the tables were turned… like had it been Ryan hasn’t been a prying individual a

  • MATED TO THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER NINETY-THREE

    RYAN“Yes, I am.” There is no strain in her voice.She sounds like she is alright, like she isn’t going through the torture I am going through by not having her in my arms for days and being unable to sleep a wink.Heaven knows I missed my girl.I still miss her even though she is standing right in front of me. She feels distant. Too far for me to reach. She is not planning to come closer, I can see that in her eyes.And I don’t like that, because I want to hold her.I want to hold her so tight, there would be no telling where I stop and where she begins. That is exactly what I want.But the past few days have opened my eyes to show me that I have a knack of wanting one thing, and doing the other.I regret leaving her that day.I loved her hands on me. I really do love being caressed by her, so why had I flared up that way and left?So many reasons. Reasons so many I don’t even know most of them.I had gotten a hint of her scent close by, yesterday, while Philemon and I welcomed her f

  • MATED TO THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER NINETY-TWO

    RILEYRyan had welcomed her, with a grumpy look on his face.Philemon had looked at her like her wanted to take her home.All these I watched from afar.Then after they were all done with their pleasantries, I waited for them to let her off. That had taken Ryan just a few minutes to do, but Philemon had lingered longer than necessary.When he had finally left, I rushed towards my friend, and she dropped all she was carrying to grab me in a big hug.This is a reunion I have waited so long for.I had thought that with his recent attitude towards me, he would not let anyone with anything that has to do with me come one hundred and twenty kilometers close to him or his territory. But he had welcomed her.He hadnt smiled. Looked like he was in no mood to smile. I had arched to go there, reach over and smoothen those frown lines on his face. But coming close to him wasn’t part of the plan. Coming just a bit closer to him, when he catch my eyes, where my nose can catch his scent, is not go

  • MATED TO THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER NINETY-ONE

    RILEYThere is a saying that goes this way. The more you look the less you see.Okay that doesn’t match with my situation, and that is definitely not the quote I wanted to use in this time of my life.Because I know the saying. But heaven knows I don’t know what on earth that saying means.For a situation like mine, a better term to use is the tragic cycle. I had read about it in a book, once upon a time. They had used it to refer to a situation where a main character in a story would know that there is a looming tragedy about to befall them, and will try everything in their power to evade that thing. But what makes it a cycle is that the farther you run from it, the closer you get to it.Story of my life.I knew… heavens, I knew this thing with Ryan, whatever it is, I knew it would not last.A thing in me always kept on keeping me in check not to give my heart out again, not to feel too comfortable in his arms, not to fall into line with the way of life of his people as it is defi
