SANDY:I was dreaming. I was inside a house. I did not know how I got here. They said that one of the signs that you’re dreaming was that you could not really read any text inside that dream. When I saw a picture of a woman and a name on the bottom, I could not read the test. I was dreaming.I was barefoot as I strolled around the house. Everything was clean. From the walls. Windows. Chairs. And everything. It looked like the owner was not someone who likes to get dirty.Who was the owner of this house and why did I dream of this place? I scanned the surroundings and saw expensive paintings around the wall, heavily decorating it. Here was even a date below. 1720. That was already a long time ago. Wow. I would be filthy rich if I sold that painting.It looked like the owner was not only a clean freak, but also an art collector.I stopped on a specific painting. It was not antique. It was a picture of a beautiful woman whose eyes were full of innocence. Her brown hair was at her ba
KING LUCIUS:My frail mate had dozed off without a care in the world. Her red hair was all over her face, covering her angelic face.Sandra was different from her. Way different.‘That woman, who was not even your mate betrayed you,’ the beast inside me growled. ‘Of course, Sandra and her are different. Our mate will never betray us.’‘How sure are you?’‘I just know. I can feel that this woman has a good soul. She is our mate and the only thing that we should do is believe in her. She will never fail us.’‘This woman will leave us. Did you see her lover?’‘That was not her lover. It was her ex-mate. The two are entirely different things,’ the beast explained. ‘Sandra will never hurt us. She will protect our hearts like how she will protect ours.’My eyes shifted at her.How could someone so frail could hurt us?She mumbled something in her sleep which I could not even decipher. Then drool was already on the other side of her lips.Instead of being disgusted, I smiled at the scene un
SANDY:The Lycan King narrowed his eyes. “Taking two wives is not forbidden. The law states that it is allowed as long as the husband could fully provide for the wives. I could provide anything you like. I can build you houses regardless of how many. Now, tell me. Why do you keep on refusing to be a concubine?”I clenched my fist. He did not understand that this was no longer about being a provider. There was no doubt that he could do it. I could live in luxury even if he turned me as his concubine. But I could not stomach being one. I refused to if I could have the choice not to. Why would I aim for one when I could become a queen? "My ex-mate had already cheated on our relationship. And now, you're marrying the two of us? I won't allow it. Just kill me already, Your Highness. I don’t want to become someone’s concubine. I refuse!" I stated for the nth time.His eyes narrowed. "I don't think you have the choice to do that. You’re heir because of two things. To give me an heir and
SANDY:I waited until His Highness corrected his statement earlier that he was only joking. That he was not uncovering his identity. I nervously glanced at the seller who was also watching the Lycan King. Which made me confused. What the heck was I acting like this? Why would I get worried if the woman would find out his identity? Until this man wore the cloak around his head, he will never be known as the Lycan King.The old woman looked at him.“Who are you?” she asked. “I can feel that you’re someone of higher authority,” she added. “You emit power which I never felt around the other customers. Are you perhaps of noble blood? But this is the first time I saw your face in the marketplace. Are you new?”“I am,” he answered curtly.When the woman did not say anything, but continued watching the Lycan King, I said, “He lived far from him and only visited this place.”Stop defending this ungrateful king! “Alright. If you're of noble blood, tell the king of everything that I said, you
SANDY:“Why are you suddenly mad at it? I’m just joking about it,” I exclaimed, clearly disappointed at the way His Highness had reacted. “I don’t like it.”“Well, I don’t like you two. The feeling is even. You think I would like someone who could not even tell me that he’s going to marry another woman? After asking me to come into your place, I will know that you’re already betrothed to Lady Bianca? That’s another kind of brazenness.”I thanked the alcohol for turning out this brave. Without it, I did not think I would be able to tell him all the things inside my head. He glared at me.“Do you think you’re that lovable? Even if you show me all your golds, even if you give them all to me, I will never love you,” I told His Highness frankly. “You're not that lovable either. You're stubborn and refuse to bow down to any authority. You're a difficult woman, too.”“I am fully aware of that, Your Highness.”I resumed my steps and walked ahead of him. Which was not supposed to happen. He
SANDY:Why did the Lycan King come here? I did not know at all and I did not have any desire to know. He left me and chose Lady Beatrice so I am assuming that he did not care about me. At all. But nevertheless, finding me here without anyone aiding him was something worthy. The Lycan King was all alone. In this stinky alley. Without any bodyguards. Or maybe it was hiding, waiting for the right opportunity to strike if someone attempted to harm him.Anyone in their right mind would not do this reckless act. Why would they if they knew they would be killed right away?Hurting the king meant they were ready to die. Who knows? His bodyguards might be all over the place. Hiding. "Your Highness," Alpha Oswald said and bowed. “It’s a great honor seeing you here, Your Highness.”I did not bow at all. Why would I when he clearly chose that woman? I thought I was the only mate?Why are you angry? The last time I heard, you were angry that your parents forced you to marry him. Well, the s
