LIA’S POV**AN HOUR LATER**“They are all gathered in the meeting hall, my Queen,” Mrs Kings’ maid reported. Mrs Kings looked at me. Without a need to say a word, I knew it was time. I rose, although it felt like I hadn't sat at all. My legs felt jittery and I hadn't felt this nervous wreck in a long while. Not even my first night with Derrick. Together with Mrs Kings we went to the meeting room where the lycan women were gathered. “Greetings Queen mother!” The women chanted as soon as Mrs Kings came into view. “Who is she?” one of the women asked with a frown referring to me. Heads turned and eyes fell on me. Soon they started to murmur within themselves. I felt my heart shrink. Thankfully Mrs Kings addressed them first. “My women, as you already know, the king, my son's marriage is the talk of the town but I heard it's not being spoken about in good faith. So, I've brought Lia, you all already know her. She will talk to you. I hope you give her a listening ear.”Mrs Kings urge
“Excuse me,” Dante called out to a guard passing their cell. He had managed to regain some strength after his fight with Greg. Their cells were not changed. Greg hadn't still let go. He was determined to either kill him or die at his hands. “What is it, fuvker?” The guard asked. He flagged his palm for him to come closer. The guard frowned cautiously. “I won't hurt you, you already know I'm weak,” Dante mumbled. Reluctantly, the guard drew closer. “I will give you anything you want. I will change your life from a mere guard to one of the richest men around here. Any man will die to hear this offer from me. You are the lucky one. Get me out of here–”The guard laughed. “You talk too much, bastard. Your wealth is taken away, fuvker.”Dante smirked. “Says who? You think that is all I have?”The guard blinked, his interest piqued. “Are you telling the truth?”“Go away if you are not interested. Did you expect a great man like me to not stash away some money somewhere?” He mocked. Th
LIA’S POV“You two take care of this yourselves. Find them and bring them to me. I don't care who they are or whose family they belong to. Just bring them to me.” Derrick ordered Damian and Ethan. Once the doctor confirmed that I was alright and our pup made it, his fury returned and he swore to make the girls that attacked me pay. “Please don't…how about we let this one go. Just this once,” I pleaded calmly. “No Lia. Please don't say that. If we don't punish them, they'd never know what crime they have committed.”“It's just this once. If it happens again, then I will not stop you from doing anything you wish to them.”He heaved exasperatedly and sat beside me on the bed. “Why are you defending them? They hurt you and we could have lost our pup.”I shuddered a breath. “I heard everything. I'm sorry.”His gaze narrowed. “I listened in on your meeting. I heard everything…”His eyes twitched. “What are you talking about?” he asked with a frown. “They don't want me. I know.”He was q
LIA’S POVI finally found a way to be present in the meeting without being seen or noticed. I had one of the guards record it for me. And maybe I should not have done that. I had expected they would not accept me but the rejection was too loud. Why exactly did the lycans hate werewolves so much? We were very similar with not much differences yet they looked down on us with a superior mentality. Truth was I hated them too. Not in my wildest dream did I ever imagine I'd be in love with one of them let alone the king himself!As I thought of it that moment, I wondered how it had all happened. How had I fallen for Derrick and came to enjoy being in the midst of his kind. Damian and Ethan were the nicest pair I'd ever met. Derrick was so sweet I couldn't imagine he'd hidden that part of him all these while. But maybe I should have ended things quickly before it got too far. The lycans would never accept me as their Luna. I didn't blame them. The werewolves would have probably acted the
“How do you feel?” Damian asked as he slided the heavy boots towards him. Derrick caught it. “About?”“You will be having the first council meeting after a while,” Ethan chirped.Derrick shrugged. “What's their to feel? I'm the king, Damian. You seem to have forgotten.” He pulled his king robe and wore over his white tee shirt and black pants. There was a knock on the door. Damian snd Ethan exchanged surprised looks. This was Derrick’s private chamber and the guards and servants usually ring the bell in the living room instead of coming all the way down to the room unless for an important case. “Don't worry, I will get it!” Derrick scampered past Ethan who was on his way for the door. Ethan and Damian grinned as the understanding dawned. Derrick pulled the door open and a smile formed in his face. “Hey,” he called quietly, his eyes scanning the pretty figure before him head to toe. She was in a white flowery dress. Her hair was parted in the center and draped elegantly down her
“You are a lunatic! I was a fool for associating myself with you!” Greg barked. It had only been a few minutes the guards pushed them into the cell. Dante, desperately racking his thoughts for his next escape plan, went to a corner of the cell and sat. But Greg was in rage and was not about to allow him to have the quietness he sought.“Did you kill her because you were burning with jealousy?” Her nose flared. Dante continued to ignore him. “You think ignoring me will work huh!” He charged towards him and dragged him up. “I am talking to you, you modafuvking bastard!”Dante sighed, still very much in control of his emotions. He knew what Greg was looking for. His reaction and he would not yield. “You are such a sissy, Greg.”“What?” The bomb in Greg's head was tipped at this point as his hands curled Dante's neck. “Me? A sissy?”“Look at you yelling at the top of your voice because of a bitch. Don't be foolish Greg, she never loved you. She was going to pin your pup on the bastard k
