Chapter 68

LUCIEN'S POV

“Are you still in love with me?” Tarlyn asked again. This time, I felt a feathery movement in my stomach.

Her voice was low, soft and sensual. It almost sounded like she was begging me to say yes or daring me to say no. I knew Tarlyn. How manipulative she was and the games she played but I just stood there staring at her. She came around the table and the smell of her perfume teased me. I recognised it.

“Talk to me,” She sat on the table and her thighs brushed me. This was a dangerous woman. Tarlyn was the type of woman who could convince you to drink poison by merely locking eyes with you.

I didn't move. I couldn't or for some reason, didn't want to. A question popped in my mind.

‘Would I have taken Tarlyn back if Isla was never in the picture?’

To be honest, I didn't want to think about it. Maybe because I didn't want to remember a time when I didn't know Isla, when my world revolved around her. But frankly, I didn't want to think about it because the an

  • THE ALPHA’S SILENT BRIDE   CHAPTER 67

    Chapter 67ISLA’S POV I held onto my cheeks and chuckled dryly. My eyes stung with tears and I closed them briefly. She would not see my cry. “You’re just like everyone else. Is it hard to admit? You are scared.”“You were eavesdropping on my conversation.”“Yes,” I got on my feet. “I’m just a pawn in your game. In a game where you're trying to prove yourself.”“That’s not…” Her lips quivered. “Who?” I bit my lower lips. “Who are you trying to prove yourself to? To yourself? The Divine?”“I don't have to prove myself to the divine. She sees everything.”“Is it the council of elders?” She looked down at her feet. I felt heat crawling through my clothes and up my neck. “You are trying to prove yourself to the same people who cast you out like you meant nothing to them. That's what you're using me for?” I screamed at her. A vein in my neck threatened to pop. “You don't understand what you heard.”“Do me the honours,” I laughed as I flung my hand around. “Make me understand, Sayora.

    Chapter 66ISLA'S POV Sayora looked down on me, her expression unreadable. “Get up,” She said flatly. I tried again but my limbs seemed too weak. My fingers dug into the dirt as I pulled myself up but I came crashing down again like a pack of cards. Sayora took two steps back. She had no intention to help me. My eyes burned with tears of embarrassment. I clenched my teeth and pushed until I was standing again. My legs felt foreign and the ground didn't feel stable but I somehow managed to remain on my feet. I could still hear my wolf within me. Her cry seemed like something from a horror movie. I closed my eyes and pressed my palms to my ears.“You can't shut her out,” Sayora screamed at me. “She’s within you.” My heart raced and I dropped my hands. “I don't think I can.”“You will,” Sayora touched my shoulders. “You can.” I inhaled deeply. “My wolf has been crushed and humiliated. Everytime I tried to be strong, she was broken, mocked and scorned.” My lips quivered. “I

  • THE ALPHA’S SILENT BRIDE   CHAPTER 65

    Chapter 65 TARLYN'S POV I stood by a window staring down at the courtyard. My palms were cold against my skin and that was one way to tell how anxious I was. It's been a while since Kane was dragged to the council like a criminal and I had tried to eavesdrop but it's either nothing was being discussed or everyone suddenly lost their voice. I had run away when I heard feet approaching the door. I couldn't let Kane see me around. If he had a suspicion that I told on him, that would be all the confirmation he needed. Once the Elders started trooping out, I hurried back and waited for Elder Thorne. He was usually the last. “Goodday Elder,” I greeted as I hurried to his side. “Tarlyn,” He looked around quickly and pulled me back into the council room. “What is wrong with you?” His hand was still tightened fast around my arms. I pulled it back. “Don’t hold on to me like some criminal, Thorne,” I adjusted my dress even though I didn't need to. “What have you done, child?”“I am no chi

    Chapter 64 LUCIEN'S POV “Lucien, is that clear?” Elder Len asked and I jerked back to reality. Right. We had a matter at hand. What did they mean I had to spend time with every candidate? I didn't want to spend time with any woman who wasn't Isla. “I do not wish to spend time with anyone.I would find Isla.”“And if you don't?” Elder Thorne asked sharply. “I will,” I said calmly. “I will find Isla,” I said again as if trying to convince myself more than I was trying to convince them. “Lucien,” Elder Ari said calmly. She rarely spoke. She was a quiet woman who always had her glasses placed awkwardly on her face. I fixed my gaze on her. “Nobody is asking you to outrightly marry any of these girls. Just spend some time with them. We don't want to impose anyone on you at the end of the day. Every decision the council makes is out of love.” I bit on my lower lip. With Elders like Franc and Ari, it was easy to believe the council has my best interest but with Thorne and Len being the

    Chapter 63LUCIEN'S POV I swallowed and tried to keep a straight face. Why would the council summon me by these early hours of the morning? Had they found out that I left the pack in Isla? Did Tarlyn know and out me? I curled my fist. If that was the case, I would make sure she never had the mouth to snitch ever again? I cleared my throat. “Did they say why?” The guards shook their head. I inhaled and ran my sweaty palms across my pants. “Tell them I would be with them shortly.”“Yes Alpha,” They said together and walked away. I mindlinked Callen to meet me in twenty minutes. In the meantime, I had to see my daughter. The door to Elara’s room was slightly ajar when I got there. The smell of lavender hit me and I inhaled deeply. I could hear repeating sentences after her tutor. I knocked on the door briefly. She turned around eagerly and her eyes widened. “Daddy,” She jumped down the chair and ran to me. I picked her up and spun her around. “Hey Princess,” I placed my nose in he
