The Contract Bride of the Lycan King Chapter 19
~SURI~His scowl gets even deeper. “What do you want?”I bite my lip, trying to find the right words. “Uhm... I know what the contract says. Open marriage, no strings, whatever. But I need a promise from you."His brows knit deeply. "Out with it, little wolf." The impatience in his voice makes the words sound like a growl.“I don’t want you to claim other women,” I blurt out. “At least until I’m pregnant.”Yeah. That’s it. I know once he knocks me up, he probably won’t touch me anymore. But until then, I need him to stay faithful to me.His amber eyes stare blankly at me for a moment too long. Then, he lets out a long exhale. “You’re asking me for fidelity?”“Yes,” I answer way too quickly. “Not for the rest of the year, just until I’m pregnant.”"Why?""Because, I... I...""...the King usually prefers softer colours on his... companions..."Because Ruby told me you like 'soft colours' on your companions, and I don’t want to catch some nasty disease from your parade of mistresses. I d

~SURI~As the light snaps on and floods the room, I blink, squinting against the flood. I’m sitting there on the bed, stark naked, feeling like a fool who just lost a dare. The King freezes in the doorway. His eyes go wide for half a second, then dark and hungry, like he’s staring at his favourite meal and forgot he was supposed to be on a diet. He looks dazed, mouth slightly open. I’m suddenly very aware that I’m sitting here without a stitch of clothing."What are you doing?" His voice is so husky it sounds like he’s been gargling gravel."Waiting," I say, trying to sound like a boss even though my insides are doing backflips. I hold his gaze, refusing to be the first one to blink. No way I’m letting him see my knees knocking. "The party’s over, the rings are on, and it’s time to get down to business.""Business," he repeats, sounding like I just spoke a foreign language."Yes. Business." My hands are dying to grab the sheet and hide, but I keep them still. "You wanted an heir. That

~SURI & RAGNAR~~SURI~As we make our way to the refreshment table, Uncle Crane suddenly intercepts us. He leans in and whispers something into the King’s ear, too low for me to catch. Of course, I do not have enhanced hearing like them. The King nods immediately, untangles our fingers, and follows him without a word. Just like that. Poof. Gone.It doesn’t hurt. I swear it doesn’t.I watch him stride toward the grand doors where Dray’s already waiting. As they leave, Uncle Crane glances back and gives me this creepy little look that sends chills racing down my spine. I shake it off quickly. Probably just my imagination. I shove down the lump crawling up my throat about the King ditching me again and repeat my new mantra.It’s an open marriage. Don’t get your expectations high, Suri.But seriously, why an open marriage? Lycans are supposed to be crazy possessive. I have heard the stories. He nearly bit Kai’s head off for holding my hand two seconds too long. So why agree to an open mar

-SURI~My heart pounds like it’s trying to escape my chest as I stare at my reflection in the huge bedroom mirror. I look regal in this red dress, hair pinned up, makeup perfect, but inside I feel like a total fraud. After today, the real “marriage business” kicks off. Heir-making time. The whole terrifying package that brought me here in the first place.I pace the room, fanning myself so I don’t sweat through the fabric before the ceremony even starts. King Ragnar hasn’t shown his face since yesterday. Didn’t even come to bed. Probably slept in his office chair, practising his world-champion frown.This is just a contract, Suri. No big deal. No feelings. Easy.A knock saves me from more pacing. Runa peeks in. “Your Highness. It is time.”Of course it is.I follow her through long hallways, my stomach tightening with every step. By the time we reach the massive mahogany doors, I feel like I might throw up, pass out, or run. Possibly all three.The doors are pushed open, and a grand b

~SURI~Stupid hands.I try my best to hide my trembling fingers, wringing them and clutching the fabric of this fancy new dress the maids brought in after King Ragnar left. I don’t want to feel like this, but I can’t help it. I am about to meet the royal Lycans for the first time, and apparently, as the King put it, officially start my queen duties.Queen duties. Me. It all feels real now. It’s no longer about staying queen to survive, but to be the actual queen with duties. What the heck do I know about ruling anything bigger than a sandwich?“Your Highness,” one of the maids says as she gently spins me around to the mirror.My jaw drops. A whole stranger is staring back at me. Shiny hair, dress hugging in all the right places, face looking like I actually slept instead of crying half the night. I look… queen-ish? If that’s a word.When they had come in earlier, saying, “His Grace wants you ready for breakfast.” I had almost laughed. Why would I need a full makeover just to eat? Peop
The Contract Bride of the Lycan King Chapter 14
~RAGNAR & SURI~~RAGNAR~She is just a womb for my heir.This is what I repeat to myself, lying down here beside my dear little wife, who is, by the way, sleeping peacefully… and snoring. She had suffered a panic attack after learning about being poisoned right from childhood. Suri is a mysterious species. Outside, she is all sassy and smart-mouthed, but inside, she is just a vulnerable girl who wants to be loved genuinely. I had seen it all today, from the raw hatred her father showed, and the way she had gone all silent and cried later, even though she tried to hide it afterward.I need to dig into her childhood. I need to find out why her wolf has been suppressed for so long, why she didn’t die with the amount of aconite and fadevine in her. I need to know why Lawrence had blamed the death of his wife on a helpless child for so long, or it could all be a ruse to get me to let down my guard. I wipe my face with my palm. He had done that with my father. But the hatred in his eyes had
