When I finally felt like he was going to take forever, he turned to face me. His emotion was actually unreadable but I could see the corner of his eyes twitching, as if he was amused.By what exactly?Did he expect me to seriously yell at him for trying to get things for himself? He can just do what he wants because he is the one paying for it.“I would like to check out a dress for my wife.” Lycan king Xyrus said and I blinked my eyes when I heard the words of endearment he used.Wife?Me?His wife.I wasn't expecting him to say that out loud for the salesgirl to hear.“Of course, we have beautiful dresses,” she said and immediately, two sales girls came along and began to pack the suit he just bought inside their store's souvenir bag.She left the place where the suits are arranged and took us elsewhere. They were women shopping and it was extremely large.“Pick anything you want, baby.” He said and my eyes widened.I didn't have to look at myself in the mirror to know my face was fl
Lycan king Xyrus walked behind me and stood at my back then I felt his hand on my shoulder. My body froze instantly and I parted my lips to exhale. He doesn't really have to intimidate me. Does he?“What price do I have to pay, my king?” I asked and bit the inside of my cheek out of anger. I don't like the fact that he is touching me with the same hands he has used to finger fuck Adelina. He is not even allowed to step so close because we are inside right now and no one is watching us. If I am to put up with this crazy idea of his, then I might eventually retaliate and it won't be an open marriage anymore.“Do not disgrace me tomorrow," He said, his voice deep with contempt as if he wasn't sure if that was the right word.What? Disgrace?I couldn't feel his touch again on my shoulder then I heard his echoing footsteps.“I don't think I should be the one to be more concerned about that.” I thought inwardly and he picked up his sunshade glass.“We should go.” He said and made his way
My heels made soft sounds on the floor with every step I took towards his room. It's not as if I didn't know where it is located; I just wanted the maid to lead the way, so if I ever come across Vance, he won't be able to talk in front of the maid.Knowing that he is the Lycan king's half-brother made me realise why the Lycan king was pissed. That will be incest, if I am sleeping with his brother, which I know will never happen.However, it will be worth watching how he will react if he gets to know I am interested in his brother even if it's not true. The maid knocked on the door and turned the doorknob, pulling the door open. She got in and I followed her behind. The maid announced my presence before leaving the room. What baffles me is the fact that he is not even saying a thing. I would have thought he was not in the room if I didn't breathe in that intoxicating smell that made my insides churn with hunger. I wish I could go closer and inhale that smell more but he will definitel
Half-brother? But there was nothing like that in his history. What am I even saying? No one even knows his history, so why would anyone think he had a half-brother?“So he is probably the younger one?” I said, talking about Vance.However, without mentioning his name, Lady Eliona already knew that I was talking about Vance.“No. I think you are mistaken because of how they look.” She said and stopped in her tracks. Though the sun was shining brightly, I doubt it will have any effect on her. Her skin is so radiant.“Werewolf tends to stop ageing at a certain age and that is why it's actually hard to know who is older.” Lady Eliona said and I must admit that the words she spoke show she is older compared to what everyone can see. Casting her appearance aside, she is older than me.“They might look as if they are of the same age but Vance is ten years older than Xyrus. You will get to know more eventually.” Lady Eliona said but I can't really blame her because she doesn't know much. If
“This is the restroom,” Vance said and I stopped.He was right. We are actually in front of the restroom.“Thank you,” I said and turned the doorknob. I got inside and locked the door at the back. My legs wobble as I make my way to the sink. I looked at the mirror and washed my hands with the water.“You will be fine Val. You only need to act and behave until the marriage is finalised. Then, you won't have any problem.” I said and smiled at my reflection in the mirror.I turned off the tap and made my way outside but to my great surprise, Vance was no longer outside. I shrugged my shoulders and made my way inside the dining room. On getting inside, Lycan king Xyrus and Vance are no longer in the room.Lady Eliona and Adelina were the only ones inside the room while the maid stood at the door.“It took you a long time, Lady Valeria.” Lady Adelina said and I quickly walked up to her with a smile.“I lost my way, so I couldn't come on time.” I lied and sat on the chair. The maid has alre
VALERIA POV“You surprised me, my king,” I said and he let go of my waist.I released the breath I have been holding and turned to face him. What is he doing here? And why is he not with them?“Or, you thought it would be Vance?” He said and I don't know why he is trying to jump to a conclusion. “You seem to have something up your sleeve for someone who was said to be pure and innocent.” Lycan king Xyrus added, his lips curled to form a smirk.Pure and innocent? Who told you that? And did I ever do anything wrong?“Listen Valeria. I say we will be in an open marriage but I don't think I will mention something about you going for my family.” Lycan king Xyrus said, his deep voice cutting through the air. His tone is well-balanced, so I can't even guess if he is joking right now or not. But why would he ever joke with me? His reputation doesn't even have that. “And what makes you think I love your brother? He meant no harm” I interjected, not ready to accept his claim. If he thought I
