The next day, Lucretius was already fine as if the fever hadn't affected him the day before. His expression was unreadable, his royal military uniform was crisp, exuding the frightening authority of a commander as he had always been.

I almost questioned if I was imagining him shivering, how he was being stubborn to take his medicine and eat the food, and how he caressed my waist as he fell asleep on me. But seeing how he was dependent on me despite being tenacious, I knew that it was real.

Since Lucretius was absent yesterday, he got piled up with workloads while attending some strategic meetings to know the situation in the Auritaurie. Marlin was present, too, to provide the updates we received from our intel.

Since I wasn't allowed to be there, all I could do was to inspect the troops along with Leofrick. While he had summoned a few doctors to check the vitals of the squadrons, it didn't escape me that I was able to meet Lilith in the female's tent.

But all I did was ignore her and

  • My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed Me   Chapter 55: Exchanging Vows

    "Take care of her for us."Those were the words from Alpha Derrick and Luna Olivia when they walked me down the aisle as soon as Alpha Derrick handed my hand to Lucretius. I couldn't contain my tears as I hugged them both, whispering how thankful I was for who I was today."You can count on me," Lucretius promised, his hand gently holding mine as he brought it to his lips to kiss the back of it.My breath hitched at his gesture. It never failed to make me falter every time he would do some sweet gesture that would always render me speechless.This was just for a show, I reminded myself.When my eyes lingered on him, a soft smile played on his lips, tinged with a hint of mischief on his handsome face."We can still run away and do the honeymoon right now, wifey. You are too beautiful in my eyes that I want to claim you right away. Say the words, and I will make it come true." He wriggled his eyebrows. I pressed my lips into a thin line, suppressing the wide smile that was about to ble

  • My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed Me   Chapter 54: Worn by Its Owner

    I stepped out from behind the divider where I had changed, smoothing my palms over the gown Rosemarie had designed. Rosemarie approached me from behind and tugged the last ribbon at the back of my gown before putting over the veil and practically squaled into my ear. "My, my! Turn around, my lady! I need to see you properly."I took a breath and faced the mirror. And that moment, I felt my breath being taken away as the room fell silent. Even my own heartbeat felt like it paused.I gulped, couldn't explain what I was feeling right now. My heart felt like about to burst.Rosemarie's masterpiece fit me as she claimed. It was as if it had been made with my bones in mind. A soft fabric, delicate embroidery, light catching on every detail, like the dress held its own faint glow.My new wedding gown glowed softly under the afternoon light pouring through the window. Layers of silk cascaded around me, each fold embroidered with delicate gold threads that shimmered when I shifted.Rosemarie

  • My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed Me   Chapter 53: Faux Concern

    The servants helped me take a bath with some lukewarm water, carrying the soft fragrance of lavender and crushed rose petals. I knew that this was not needed to help me with dressing up, but Lucretius wanted everything to be perfect for this day.The ruined wedding gown almost wreaked havoc, so it would be better to follow the things he wanted to aim for perfectly. My dress was already being prepared in Rosemarie's workroom, and the servants moved around with hushed excitement, as if trying not to disturb the sacred calm before a wedding. "Luna, please relax your shoulders," one of the maids murmured as she poured warm water down my back. Another added fresh flowers to the bath.I sank deeper into the tub, letting out a slow breath. I was still feeling nervous being surrounded by them, even though we were of the same gender. But it seemed that I must get used to being pampered like this because I married one of the wealthiest people in our kingdom.It felt surreal to realize I had n

  • My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed Me   Chapter 52: Another Win

    After breakfast, Rosemarie and her assistants had finally eaten. Lucretius and I made our way to her room, where they rested the ruined wedding gown, escorted by Horace to request Rosemarie's presence for some serious conversation about the wedding dress. I knew that there was something in her gaze back in the dining hall as if she wanted to tell us something. And it seemed Lucretius noticed it, too, which was why he arranged a private meeting with just the three of us.When we entered, Rosemarie immediately dismissed her assistants with a small gesture. Once the door shut behind them, she turned toward us, her expression soft yet steady."Your Graces," she began, bowing slightly. "I really wanted to speak with you in private."Lucretius and I exchanged glances. Looks like both of us were right that she wanted to discuss something with us.Lucretius folded his arms. "Go on."Rosemarie's eyes flickered between the two of us before she stepped closer, lowering her voice to a whisper. "P

  • My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed Me   Chapter 51: Dining Hall

    By the time we reached the dining hall, Lucretius had returned to his old self, his mood already lightened up. He was even humming that the people who knew about the incident exchanged glances that Lucretius looked calm in the situation, while we were eating our breakfast.If only they knew that he almost wreaked havoc...I took my seat beside him, watching as he lifted his cup as if nothing in the world had gone wrong. Lorenzo, who was sitting opposite us along with Romina, looked unusually quiet. His fingers tapped once, twice, on the table, before he caught himself and folded his hands instead. He tried to speak, his lips parting then closing again. So many times.I met his gaze. His mannerisms made it easy to decipher that he was worried for his older brother.I mind-linked softly. 'It's alright. He's calmer now.'He blinked, looking surprised at my sudden mind-link. Still, he kept his head down, pretending to focus on his food.Then Lucretius's deep voice cut through the silence

  • My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed Me   Chapter 50: Dangerous Temper

    The first thing I felt as I gradually woke up was something soft brushing against my forehead. Then again, lingering longer this time before it lowered from my temple to the side of my cheek.I stirred, eyes still closed. My mind drifted somewhere between sleep and wakefulness, and all I could feel was his breath fanning my skin and the tender caress that traced down the side of my neck.A soft chuckle escaped him. "Still asleep, my mischievous wife?"My lips curved into a small, lazy smile. I made a small noise in response, somewhere between a hum and a groan, before shifting slightly closer to him.His hand slid over my arm before gliding down until his palm rested against my waist. He pressed one more kiss on my shoulder before whispering, voice deep and husky from just waking, "Wake up. It's our wedding day.""Mm... Five more minutes," I mumbled, burying my face against the pillow.He exhaled softly, amusement laced in his tone. "If you don't get up now, you'll make everyone think
