LUCIAN’S POV

“So have you thought of a plan?” King Aldric asked as I walked into his office.

Xavier was sitting at the edge of the desk and I sat on the arm chair opposite his father.

“Not really but after a long deliberation, I believe the only way to stop Elira is by removing Caius from power.”

“I think I like that idea.” Xavier raised his hand in agreement. “I mean, it's about time that you take the throne. You deserve it more than he does. He hasn’t even been on the seat for a month and he'

  • VENGEFUL TIES: Bonds formed from Revenge    I want it to be real

    LUCIAN’S POV“I'm scared, Lucian,” Selena started, putting her head down. “I don't want to get hurt again. I don't think I will be able to handle it.”Placing my hands on either side of her face, I raised her head to look at me. “I'm never going to hurt you. Definitely not intentionally.”“Are you certain?” She stuck her finger out. “Can you promise me?”With a smile on her face, I crossed my fingers with hers. “I, Prince Lucian of Lunaroria, promise to never hurt my mate Selena Ravenwood.” She gave a full blown smile and I slowly moved closer to capture her lips in mine. There was a great joy in me when she wrapped her hands around my neck and kissed me back. It was the best feeling ever. The rest of the picnic was filled with laughter and stolen kisses. It felt like my life was finally complete.It was late at night when Selena and I arrived at the palace and walked to our rooms hand in hand. We stopped in front of Selena’s room and finally let go of each other's arms.“Thank you

  • VENGEFUL TIES: Bonds formed from Revenge    The picnic date

    SELENA’S POVMy ringing tone interrupted my sleep and I groaned as I turned to grab the phone from the nightstand.“Hello,” I answered without checking who the caller was.“Selena, I see you are enjoying your time in Ardyth,” a familiar voice said.My eyes widened and I sat up to check who was calling even though I could already tell by the voice. “Caius,” I replied. He was calling my phone with his usual number when we agreed on communicating on the other phone he gave me. I remembered that the phone has been hidden in my luggage since I arrived in Ardyth. He was probably calling my original line because he couldn't reach me on that one. “Did you get anything?” He asked and that was when I remembered why Lucian had come to Ardyth in the first place. I had been so distracted and jealous of Talia and Lucian's relationship that I forgot my main purpose of being here.Aya chose that time to taunt me. 'Didn't I say you were forgetting something?’ So that's what she was trying to rem

  • VENGEFUL TIES: Bonds formed from Revenge    Talia's deception

    LUCIAN’S POV“Why didn't you answer your phone? I was worried sick about you.” I yelled as Selena walked in behind Xavier. My gaze turned to Xavier, and I asked, “Why didn't you pick up my calls too?” He raised his hands up and shrugged before nodding toward Selena. I blinked in confusion when she didn't even pay attention to me. “Thank you so much for today, Xavier. It was fun really doing this with you.” She smiled widely. “I hope we can get to do this another time.”“Anytime, I'm always here.” Xavier smiled back. Selena walked past me without sparing me a glance. “Selena,” I called, but she ignored me and walked up the stairs. “Selena.” I raised my voice, but still no response.“You standing there and shouting her name isn't going to solve anything.” Xavier sat down on the couch and picked an apple from the fruit basket. “She's really mad at you.”“Mad at me?” I raised my eyebrows at him. “She's the one who stayed out till 10pm and ignored my calls, I'm the one who is supposed t

  • VENGEFUL TIES: Bonds formed from Revenge    The mysterious death

    SELENA’S POV“Wait a sec, Jared and David are both your best friends, why on earth would David have something to do with his death?” I asked because I couldn't wrap my head around the whole thing.“I never said that.” He put his food mouth and I stared at him in confusion.“You just said that David got kicked out of the Kingdom because of Jared's death, is that what you meant?” He poured himself another glass of water and drank up. “No, that was not what I meant.” He placed his elbow on the table to lean closer. “David was spreading rumours that the Royal family had a hand in Jared's death because we didn't want him to marry Talia and that's why we could find out who ordered his death.”“What? why would he even come up with that kind of conclusion?” “Because it was strange.” He shrugged. “In the history of Ardyth, we have never had such a mysterious death inside the palace. The maid that poisoned him which led to an heart attack was found death with a suicide note. There was no evid

    LUCIAN’S POV “Thank you so much Lucian. I have no idea what I would have done without you.” Talia beamed as we walked out of the art gallery.I nodded, forcing a smile on my face. I checked the time on my and saw that it was still early in the afternoon. I could still make it to the tour with Selena.“It's fine.” I motioned the guards to bring the car over. “Let’s go home.”“So soon?” she moved to stand in front of me. “I was hoping we could hang out and catch up. We have not seen each other in a while.”Giving her an apologetic look, I opened the car door for her. “I would love to but I need to get to Selena. I had promised to take on the tour and also I don't feel comfortable leaving her alone.”Talia rolled her eyes and folded her arms. “She is not a baby and she has guards with her.” She pulled out her phone from her bag. “Look at the post she tagged you on.” I took the phone from her and saw Selena smiling widely at the camera with Xavier and a feast in front of them.“Xavier i

  • VENGEFUL TIES: Bonds formed from Revenge    Rejecting her and regretting it

    SELENA’S POV“I'm really sorry about Talia. I'll make sure to talk to her when we get back,” Xavier said for the tenth time as we strolled around the city.Xavier had volunteered to take me on the tour instead as an apology for Talia's action. It was annoying that she could not just accept that Lucian has a mate and move on with her life. She's a princess, every male out there would jump at the idea of being her chosen mate.I stopped in the middle of the street. “The next time you apologize, I will turn back and leave.” “Okay, I won't apologise anymore.” He chuckled. “Let me show you something then.” He took another corner and I followed behind him.The guards following were scattered in the crowd so they wouldn't attract any attention to us. Xavier was also dressed in a simple white T shirt and Black jeans with a black bucket hat that hid the upper part of his face which made it hard for anyone to recognize him as the Crown prince of Ardyth.“Wow.” I gasped when we stopped in fron
