Natasha's POV

I dragged her to my room as we continued laughing like my life here wasn’t a mess. Lani fell on my bed probably feeling so exhausted from the travel. Well, not like it was just the travel, she would have done the same thing even if she was just coming from the next room. That’s just Lani for you.

"Gods, even your bed feels expensive," she said, feeling the bed with her hands and her mouth wide opened.

I just shook my head and headed for the wardrobe. "That’s because everything here is expensive. Even the air, I swear."

She laughed, turning on her side to face me. “Well, that’s what happens when you marry a king, isn’t it?”

I didn’t answer right away. I ran my hands over a blue gown for way too long before I finally took it out. "Yeah," I said, trying not to sound as dead inside as I felt. "That’s exactly what happens."

She sat up, eyes darting around the room, taking in the looks of the whole place. "You know, I still can’t get used to seeing you like this. The same Nata

  • When My Mate Chose Another, the Lycan King Chose Me   138: Snake

    Natasha's POVOf course I went back to my training, with or without a child, I still have to prove my worth. Lucien didn't joined me though. As a matter of fact, we haven't even spoken since we returned. Goddess... The emotional trauma that comes with being with this man. Many at times I wish I'm this cold and emotionally detached person, not one to fall in love easily and get hurt every time I did. Anyways, I'm glad he still let me train, else I'd be stuck attending those boring Kingdom meetings all day. Don't get me wrong, I'd still attend. But that has to be when I'm done here. At least that way I have a little break to do something else. Gently and slowly, I was fitting into this borrowed life and I won't lie to you, I hate it. "Higher!" I heard a voice from outside the window. It was most certainly that of the workers trying to fix things around the Kingdom. Tomorrow is my birthday, but the whole Jamboree seems to be for the event. Yes, the one where he would announce me o

  • When My Mate Chose Another, the Lycan King Chose Me   137: Only Option

    Ashley's POV I must admit, I didn't think this one would last even a week, speak less of a month, but here they are, hanging banners for another ceremony. I feel like Lucien is trying to convince himself more than he's trying to convince the Kingdom that she means something to him. Anyways, that is absolutely none of my business. "You wish," a mocking voice said from being me. Who the fuck dare to read my thoughts? I turned to see the 'ever charming and beautiful Sonia'. Yes the air coat was necessary, cause to me, she wasn't any of the things she claimed to be. I didn't protect that thought from her either, since she loves poking her nose into people's minds and business. "At least, people agree to the fact that I am who I say I am. I can't say that about you." An unplanned chuckle burst out of me, "I'm glad you think so." I turned to walk away, "If I were you, I'll focus on the main target and stop trying to get the wrong catch." She tried to keep up her unrealis

  • When My Mate Chose Another, the Lycan King Chose Me   136: Miracle

    Sonia's POV"Thank you so much, ma'am, may the Goddess grant you your heart's desire." A woman in her mid-thirties said with a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes.I nodded with a small smile, "I wish so too."With that, I took my leave. I had done enough for the day, and my cheeks were already hurting from smiling too much. I was so sick of trying to be nice. All I wanted was to buy everyone.My plan was simple: win the hearts of the people and then Lucien's. His people meant a lot to him than he could ever admit. And when they chant my praises, there's absolutely no way he wouldn't have me in mind. But then, my challenge is that the people of the Kingdom were relatively okay, unlike other lands, where just a little effort would go a long way.But then, I came prepared. Or so I thought."Ma'am, anything else?" Alicia, my hand maiden, asked."We're done for the day. We should head back. Tomorrow is going to be a long day." I could already feel my legs dying in my heels. It was like

  • When My Mate Chose Another, the Lycan King Chose Me   135: Document

    Lucien's POV I can't explain how pissed I am right now, but I stay silent regardless. Instead of arguing I picked up my phone to speak with Gavril. "The Elder's meeting," I started, swallowing for a bit, more to calm myself before continuing. "What's the update?" I could hear the heavy sigh from the other end of the phoen veggie he finally spoke. "Your majesty, the Elder's are yet again not happy with your decision to move out on the day of the full moon. And without their permission or without saying a word to them about it." I totally saw that coming, but I had to. I'd rather go against them than have the whole Kingdom find out about Natasha's wolflessness. Come to think of that, I should begin to think of a way to help her discover her wolf, cause this secret can not be hidden for so long. Back to Gavril I say, "Is that all?" "For now, your majesty." "And Sonia?" I asked, not because I cared, but I had to be sure that she and Elder Hadrek weren't going around feeding dumb in

  • When My Mate Chose Another, the Lycan King Chose Me   134: What are you driving at?

    Natasha's POV What's all this funny behaviour for? I thought to myself as he adjusted beside me. Is this also just the mate bond? Probably, he's just doing it for duty's sake. To get a good name in the face of the people, because what would people say if he left the kingdom with his Queen and returned before her? It'll most likely look like we had a fight on the way. Smart of you, Lucien. There's absolutely no reason for me to feel special cause it's either the first or the latter. What do I do now to avoid going on this journey with him? I honestly don't feel comfortable with him anymore. I just want to be alone, just me, the guards and my thoughts. Coming with him would make so much difference cause we barely spoke throughout the last journey. But then, the thought of having him near was enough to cause havoc in my mind. "Natasha!" His voice brought me out of the little weird conversation that was going on inside my head. My eyes met his, but I said nothing. The ride continu
