When we were finally out of the crowds, Lucretius slowed his pace. "I told you to only look at me," he said, his eyes on the front.

"I'm sorry?" I asked, puzzled by his words.

But he didn't reply to me and just focused his attention as we were on our way to his private quarters. He hastened his pace, making my eyes widen as I tried to match it while still wondering what he said.

We were already halfway to the entrance of the establishment when words echoed through my mind.

'Look at me. Only me.'

Chills ran down my spine as my eyes locked onto Lucretius' back, watching him continue inside without turning to look at me. I even slowed my pace as the words he had written in the note before rang in my head again.

'Look at me. Only me.'

Was that... what he meant?

Was it because he caught me looking at Redmund's way earlier?

So, he was glaring at me, after all... It wasn't just a pigment of my imagination!

I tried to catch up to him when he went inside his quarters. I thought that he would l

  • 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

  • My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed Me   Chapter 49: Taste of Own Medicine

    We returned to our chamber after that, and my body was still on fire even after taking a bath. I stole a quick glance at Lucretius, who had already finished his bath and was lounging on the balcony, half-naked in just his pajama pants, while I had just finished my own bath and was heading to the walk-in closet.Frowning, I had the urge to touch myself, but it felt disappointing if Lucretius wasn't watching me. I silently castigated myself for thinking about what happened at that time. That was why, to my frustration, I skimmed through my wardrobe and found a thin nightdress that was almost see-through.I wore it, which hugged my body, and my perky tits were pressing. Tonight, I felt bolder because of what he did at our dinner.I wasn't going to let him get away with it. I had had enough of him teasing me so badly and wanting me secretly.I even let my hair loose as I reached for one of my perfumes, testing out which of them would make Lucretius go wild when he smelled me. I picked the

    "Was there any inconvenience that caused you to come home late?" I couldn't help but let my curiosity linger as we enjoyed a peaceful dinner. "Did something go wrong with the preparations when you talked to the wedding organizer?"His eyes flicked to mine for a moment before he took a sip of wine. "Nothing went wrong," he said, settling the glass down. "I want to make sure the wedding organizer I hired understands the level of perfection and smooth execution I expect."I smiled wryly as I lowered my gaze to my plate. I could already imagine that poor wedding organizer. Lucretius was a meticulous man and wanted everything to go smoothly as much as possible."Why do you react like I brought that wedding organizer a hell?"I flinched and gawked at him, wide-eyed. "What? Me?" I asked, feigning ignorance, trying my hardest not to gulp when he was arching a brow in my direction.Did he catch my reaction that I felt sorry for the wedding organizer?"Who else am I talking to? The flowers?" He

    Romina's amused voice broke between us before I could even gather my thoughts. "This is such a romantic to watch! Oh, love is in the air!"My head snapped at her, heat rushing to my cheeks so fast I almost dropped the bouquet. "R-Romina!"I nearly forgot that she was still here. I could have sworn that I thought it was only Lucretius and me at this moment. My wolf senses didn't even help me detect her.Was I so preoccupied with Lucretius because of his sweet kiss and gesture?Lucretius didn't even look flustered. Instead, he turned slightly, his expression unreadable except for that smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. And that only deepened the embarrassment I felt.I thought Romina would excuse herself, but as soon as she crossed her arms and playfully raised a brow, I knew that I must brace myself for another blow of humiliation."Oh, dear brother-in-law, do you know how long she's been waiting here? Since before supper. She refused to eat until you came home. I told her you mi

  • My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed Me   Chapter 46: Hollow Feeling

    "It seems like Lucretius is going to be late for supper, Euphyllia."I turned at Romina's voice behind me. I was already at the front porch, waiting for Lucretius' arrival, but it was already 6 pm, and until now, he hadn't arrived home yet since he left this morning.I thought the preparation would take him at least to finish it before the afternoon, but what was taking him so long to arrive? Did he encounter some inconveniences with the wedding organizer? Did he have an accident that no one was telling me about? Or perhaps I was just being an impatient person, couldn't wait for someone? Sighing, my eyes darted to the sun beautifully setting down over the horizon. "It seems like it." I secretly clutched my skirt, feeling something hollow in my chest.Realization was starting to hit me since earlier that Lucretius's absence brought an oddity to me that I wasn't used to. Although Romina was here, and also my other two nemesis could entertain, it still felt the manor was quieter.I had

    The next day, Lucretius left early in the morning to meet the wedding organizer, and the packhouse was alive with preparations for tomorrow's second wedding. It would be held in the ceremonial ground where I officiated as Luna.While they were occupied, I was handling the paperwork from the military, which was delivered by a messenger before Lucretius left. He asked me to take care of it, instead of joining him to meet the wedding organizer.As much as I wanted to help him finalize the preparation for our second wedding, I could tell from his tone that he preferred that I handled things on his behalf with the help of Joaquin, his Beta. Even told me that he wanted to surprise what could be the outcome tomorrow, which I did not honestly look forward to because we had already gotten married, but he said that I would love the arrangement he had made.By midmorning, a knock came at the study room."Luna," Isolde announced, bowing as the door creaked open while I was arranging some document
