Too Tempting for the Lycan King CHAPTER 25: The Secret In My Blood
Ariana’s POVI found Lyra waiting for me the moment I stepped into the hallway the next morning, and her arms were crossed, and her smile was also nowhere to be found. “You had no right,” she said, blocking my path.“Excuse me?”“Yesterday, in the garden.” Her voice was low, but it was sharp enough to cut. “You made me look like a fool in front of the Queen Mother.”“I didn’t do anything,” I said. “Kael sat where he wanted to sit.”“He sat beside you.” Her eyes were narrowed. “He has never once looked at me the way he looks at you, and I have known him since childhood.”My chest tightened, and it was filled with guilt and confusion.“Lyra, I’m not trying to take anything from you.”“Aren’t you?” She stepped closer, and her voice trembled so hard now and then something raw slipped through her practiced calm. “You arrive here broken and pregnant with another man’s child, and somehow you have managed to steal the one thing I have wanted my entire life.”“I never asked for any of this
Too Tempting for the Lycan King CHAPTER 24 : Every Smile Hurts
Ariana’s POVThe invitation arrived on a small silver tray, folded neatly and sealed with a wax stamp shaped like a crescent moon.I opened it slowly, my fingers still slightly stiff from sleep.Lady Ariana, please join me for afternoon tea in the east garden. I would love to know you better. …LyraI stared at the words for a long moment, and my stomach twisted into knots.Part of me wanted to refuse, wanted to hide in my room until the invitation disappeared on its own.However another part of me knew refusing would only make things worse. Nobles were already whispering enough about me and I didn’t even need to give them another reason.“I will go,” I whispered to myself, and I folded the letter closed. “It’s just tea.”I almost believed it.…The east garden looked beautiful under the afternoon sun, white flowers climbed along stone arches.And a small table set with delicate cups and a pot of steaming tea resting in the center.Lyra sat waiting, she was dressed in soft pink, and h
Too Tempting for the Lycan King CHAPTER 23: The King Who Couldn’t Touch Me
Ariana’s POVBy morning, the whole palace buzzed with a new kind of gossip.I heard it before I even left my room, two guards talking quietly outside my door, and I thought I could not hear them through the woods.“Every night,” one whispered. “The King sits by her bed until sunrise.”“That’s not protection anymore,” the other muttered. “That’s something else.”I pressed my hand against the door and closed my eyes, my cheeks burning.By the time I reached the dining hall, the whispers had grown louder, and they followed me like shadows.“The King spends more nights in her chamber than his own.”“What kind of King does that for a woman who isn’t even his?”“She’s carrying another Alpha’s child, and still he watches over her like she’s his.”I then kept my eyes down and walked faster, but my chest was tight with embarrassment.Lyra found me near the garden entrance, she was dressed in soft lavender, and her smile was already waiting.“Ariana!” She reached for my hands like we were old
Too Tempting for the Lycan King CHAPTER 22: The Maid Who Chose Death
Ariana’s POVShouting woke me before sunrise and I sat up fast.My heart rang, and I found Kael already standing near the window, he was fully dressed, and his face was carved from stone.“What happened?”“They found it,” he said. “The poison, hidden under a maid’s bed.”My whole body went cold.“Which maid?”“The one who spilled your soup.”I threw off the blanket and stood, my legs still weak from sleep.“I want to see her.”“Ariana…”“I want to see her, Kael.”He studied me for a long moment, then finally nodded.…Guards dragged the maid into a small stone room deep inside the palace, her wrists bound with rope, her face streaked with dried tears. When she saw Kael walk in behind me, she dropped to her knees immediately.“My King, please, I only did what I was told.”Kael crouched in front of her, his voice dangerously calm.“Then tell me who told you.”She shook her head violently, her whole body trembling.“I can’t.”“You will.”“She’ll kill me!”“I will kill you,” Kael said qu
Too Tempting for the Lycan King CHAPTER 21: No One Leaves
Ariana’s POVThe great hall no longer looked like a place for feasting. Guards stood at every door, and every window had been shut and barred. Nobles who had smiled and danced only hours ago now sat pale and silent along the walls, waiting their turn to be questioned.I sat beside Kael on a raised platform, my hands folded tightly in my lap, watching servant after servant walk forward and answer the same questions.“Where were you tonight?”“Who did you speak with?”“Did anyone give you anything to deliver?”Most trembled and cried, some begged for mercy they hadn’t earned yet and none of them gave the answer Kael wanted.The maid who spilled the soup sat locked away separately, and she was guarded by two of Kael’s most trusted men.And still she refused to give a name.I then leaned toward Kael and whispered, “This is taking forever.”“It will take as long as it needs to,” he said and his eyes never left the line of frightened faces. “Someone in this palace tried to kill you, I wo
Too Tempting for the Lycan King CHAPTER 20: The Poisoned Dinner
Ariana’s POVI sat alone at the small table in my room, staring at the bowl of soup in front of me.Steam rose slowly from the surface, and my stomach growled, but I did not lift the spoon.Something about Lyra’s smile still lived inside my head, and I couldn’t shake it away.“You’ll die in it.”I rubbed my arms and shook my head.“Stop thinking about her,” I whispered to myself. “Just eat.”The maid who brought the tray stood near the door, her hands twisted together tightly in front of her apron.She kept glancing at the soup, then at me, then back at the soup again.“Is something wrong?” I asked her.She jumped slightly.“No, my Lady. Nothing at all.”Her voice shook when she said it, and I frowned but said nothing.I then picked up the spoon slowly and dipped it into the soup and the maid’s whole body went stiff and before I could even lift the spoon to my mouth, the door opened without warning.“Ariana.”I then turned, and my chest warmed instantly.It was Kael, he stood in the d
