Chapter 6

Author: Margot
The date for my bonding ceremony with Lucian was set for just two weeks away.

One day, Lucian asked me to meet him alone for a talk.

He got straight to the point. "Princess, do you really want to marry me?"

I nodded. "Yes, I do."

"You're not going to regret it?"

I paused, surprised. It seemed like nobody thought I would choose him, not even Lucian himself.

I asked with a frown, "Why would you ask that?"

He gave a small smile. "Princess, you've heard the rumors about me, haven't you?"

I got what he was hinting at. "Don't worry. My dad told me everything. I know you had good reasons for the things you've done."

People always said he was wild and did not care about fighting for power. They said he was the least likely to succeed out of his brothers.

However, that was just a front.

ehind the scenes, he was always gathering secrets for the Lycan King, my dad's most trusted spy in the shadows.

Lucian raised an eyebrow, looking surprised that I knew his secret.

    When Thorne woke up, I had to ask him, "Who was the person who saved me back then?"Thorne froze, looked away, and whispered, "What do you mean? I don't understand."I felt a chill. "No more lies. You can't even swim. It wasn't you who saved me when I was little, was it?"Thorne's lips were sealed, and he stayed quiet for what seemed like forever.I was so worried that I showed my claws. "Please tell me. Who was it?"He went silent once more. When I almost gave up hope of him answering, he spoke so softly I could barely hear, "It was Lucian... He's the one who pulled you from the water and then ran to get a doctor. You woke up, saw me, and got it wrong. I didn't correct you soon enough. I'm sorry."I was shocked. I never guessed that Lucian was my rescuer.Thinking about the assassin before, it was always Lucian coming to my rescue bravely and without hesitation...I barely heard what Thorne said next. All I wanted was to find Lucian and talk to him.The moment I opened the door, the

    Right when I got to the party, Thorne was there, trying to talk to me.I tried to get away, heading to the back garden for some quiet.However, just as I passed a wall of roses, I saw Isolde heading straight for me.I rolled my eyes and turned to walk away, but she caught up quickly, her voice full of challenge and bitterness."Princess, you're about to marry Lucian, so why won't you leave Thorne alone? Aren't you worried about what people might whisper?" Isolde, who used to look at me with such shy respect, was now boldly confronting me on the garden path. I was taken aback. Where did she find such bravery?I spoke with a chill in my voice, calm but with an edge, "Do you think you have the right to question me?"Isolde stood tall. "Even as a werewolf princess, you can't just take someone's love away."Take someone's love away?Her words almost made me burst into laughter.I knew Thorne long before she was even a whisper in the village.Besides, Thorne and I had already set our limit

    That night, the royal ceremony officer brought me a beautiful gown for the bonding ceremony.I had just slipped into the stunning wedding dress when the door burst open. Thorne came storming in.His eyes lit up with wonder when he saw me, but they soon filled with despair. It was like he really understood for the first time that I was about to marry someone else.I looked at him calmly and asked, "Why are you here?"Thorne suddenly fell to one knee with a heavy thump. "Princess, I have regrets," he said.I raised an eyebrow. "What are you regretting?"He looked up at me, his voice rough with emotion. "Princess, if you cancel the mating order with Lucian, I'll claim you as mine."I almost could not believe my ears."Thorne, do you even know what you're saying?"He let out a bitter, self-mocking laugh. "I was wrong, Your Highness. I was too proud, too scared to admit how I felt about you. I didn't want people to gossip and say I got power I didn't deserve because of you. Back then, I w

    I raised my head and gave Thorne an annoyed look. "I've already told you my answer. Are you doubting my choice?" The whole royal family was busy getting ready for my bonding ceremony with Lucian, so it was definitely happening.Thorne looked at me with a hint of panic. "This is a big deal that will change your life. It's not too late to change your mind." I stared at him, puzzled. "Why would I have any regrets?" Thorne was at a loss for words. I was about to walk away when I heard him yell angrily, "Didn't you say you liked me? Why are you choosing Lucian as your mate?" I froze. Ever since he chose Isolde over me and left me in danger, I had closed my heart to him. Remembering that, I gave him a frosty look. "Thorne, don't you know what's in your own heart? Think about how you've treated me lately, and you won't need to ask why I didn't choose you." I did not get it. He gave up on me first, pushing me to someone else. I was respecting his wishes, yet he was acting like I was

    The whole room went silent in a heartbeat, like the air itself had turned to ice.Griffin was the first to snap out of it. He stared at me, his eyes wide with shock."Princess, did you get that right? Are you sure your mate is Lucian? Not Thorne?""Yeah, Princess, how can Lucian be your mate? Everyone knows he's got a bad reputation..."The werewolves exchanged glances, their faces full of questions. They could not believe that their princess had picked Lucian, the one who was always left out.I just nodded slightly and handed the royal order to Lucian. "Yes, he's my mate."Lucian looked up at me, his dark red eyes revealing feelings I could not quite understand.I felt a twinge in my heart. "Don't you want this?"He looked down, knelt on one knee, and held out his hand. "I, Lucian, accept the royal order."It was not until then that I let out a quiet sigh of relief.When I looked up again, I locked eyes with Thorne.His face was ghostly white, and he stared at me in shock.
