LUCIAN'S POV

"How was your night, Lucian?" The King of Ardyth said with a wide smile on his face as I walked in.

I refused to make eye contact with him as I scratched the back of my neck because I knew he was trying to tease me. "Don't ask a question that you already know the answer to."

He laughed. "I was hoping to see the great Beta Prince of Lunaroria blush."

"Mission accomplished then," I grumbled and folded my arms across my chest. "What in the devil world was so important that you had to

  • VENGEFUL TIES: Bonds formed from Revenge    D-day

    LUCIAN’S POV That night, I had expected to get a vision about the coup schedule for the next day, which I did, but it only confuses me more about what's to come.I saw myself along with Damon, Ezra, Rowan, and the other soldiers shifting into our wolves, preparing to enter the palace, but as soon as we charged into the palace, everything turned black. I couldn't see anything. My body was drenched with sweat as I woke up panting the following morning. I didn't know what to make of that vision, but I couldn't stop the plan either. If I didn't act now, I won't be able to stop Elira and Umbraeth from succeeding.“Babe, are you okay? You've been awfully quiet.” I turned to Selena, who was looking out the car window. We left Ardyth before daybreak and got on the Royal plane back to Lunaroria. I didn't think too much about her being quiet because I thought it was because she was tired from waking up so early.But it was getting a bit concerning that she hasn't said a single word to me.I

  • VENGEFUL TIES: Bonds formed from Revenge    The right thing

    SELENA’S POVAfter packing, I sat on the bed, clutching the phone Caius gave me in my hand. I couldn't bring myself to dial his number because I've been rethinking everything about Lucian since his reaction at the Moon Goddess's water fountain.There was no way he would be so happy if we weren't Fated mates. But the question was, why would Caius lie to me? Why would he reject me and try to get me back by lying to me that Lucian faked our mate bond?Lucian was trying to take over Caius’s position like he said, so I didn't know if he was truly using me like Caius claimed or if I was truly Lucian's mate like he claimed.‘You felt the mate bond by yourself, that meant something.’ Aya added. ‘Do you think that can easily be fake?’‘Are you saying Caius lied to us? Why would he do that?’‘Isn’t it obvious? He didn’t like the fact that our second chance mate turned out to be his brother and now that Lucian might be trying to stop whatever plan he has with Umbraeth, he’s manipulating us to he

    LUCIAN’S POV“What do you mean we are leaving tomorrow morning? I thought we were spending a week here.” Selena's eyes widened in shock.I placed my hand over hers that was resting on the restaurant table. “Something urgent came, and I have to be in Lunaroria as soon as possible.” She paused and stared at me for a while before letting out a sigh and asked, “Is this about the coup? I saw the announcement from Lunaroria daily news.”Putting my head down, I battled with telling her the full truth and listening to King Aldric's advice to keep everything from her. I had already told her some part of it, and she would be more curious and worried if I decided to withhold information now.“Lucian,” she stretched her hand to lift my chin, making me look up at her. “Is something wrong? You said you were going to tell me when everything is finalized.”I took hold of her hand and caressed the back with my thumb. “I think it's best if you don't know or get involved. I don't want anything that mig

    SELENA’S POV As I watched Lucian talk to Rowan, I knew it was about the coup. Even though he refused to tell me the truth, I was determined to find out the entire plan. That way, Caius would be able to defeat them without any hassle.‘What about Father and Rowan? won't they also get in trouble if Lucian gets caught?’ Aya asked.‘All I have to do is explain to Caius that they were also manipulated by Lucian. He would understand and spare them,’ I replied confidently.Aya hummed before withdrawing into silence as I got ready for the day. I stepped out of the room to look for Xavier. I checked his room and he wasn't there.I made my way to the living room, hoping to find him there, but he wasn't. As I turned to go back to my room, I saw Talia descending from the stairs, and I stopped on my track.We haven't spoken to each other since the day she tricked Lucian into going out with her. I ignored her and wanted to go back upstairs, but she stopped me.“Can we talk for a while?” She asked

    LUCIAN’S POVSelena's body stiffened against mine, and I raised my head to look at her. “What's wrong?” I asked her.Talia's words have been ringing in my head, and I so desperately wanted to prove that she was wrong about Selena. But her sudden silence and shock were making me think otherwise. Was Talia right? Selena didn't seem like someone who would use and hurt others for her personal gain. She was too sweet and innocent for this world.“Nothing.” She smiled. “I don't know how to say this, but I've always wanted to wait till my wedding night before getting marked. Is that okay with you?” She looked at me with puppy eyes, and I couldn't help but smile at her cuteness.I kissed her forehead and her cheeks before stopping on her lips. “Of course, I'll wait for you till you're ready.” A sense of relief washed through me, knowing that Talia was wrong about Selena. ‘Of course she was wrong. She's just trying to get in between you two.’ Mark concluded.“Thank you,” Selena said as she

  • VENGEFUL TIES: Bonds formed from Revenge    Can I mark you?

    SELENA’S POV My head rested on Lucian's naked chest as my finger traced patterns on it. During the picnic, I wanted to believe him when he said he loved me, when he said he wouldn't hurt him but I couldn't.Caius's voice rang in my head and I remembered the implications if Lucian wasn't stopped, so I played along with him just to string him along and gain his trust.I knew time was running out of time and I needed to figure out his plan to stop Umbraeth, that was why I thought of inviting him in. Giving him my body willingly was another way to make him believe I had truly fallen for him and he fell for it.‘Are you sure that was the reason or because you wanted him too?’ Aya asked in a teasing tone.‘Shut up and stop disturbing me.’ I cut her off.“What are you thinking about?” Lucian said as he caressed my bare back.I turned to put my chin on my hand that was laying on his chest, so I could look at him. “I heard something and it has been bothering me for a while.”He cocked an eyeb
