Lucien’s POV

Her stuttering hit me first.

“I—I didn’t mean to... I wasn’t trying to—” she was fumbling, her voice small now, as if she could take back the sharpness from before. Her hands were lifted slightly, fingers twitching like she wanted to reach out and pull the words back.

I didn’t let her finish. I didn’t need to hear the excuses.

“Dinner is over.” My voice cut through her like a blade. I turned my eyes to the maids standing by the doors, their heads already lowered. “Escort her back to her chambers.”

She opened her mouth, maybe to fight it, maybe to plead, but she didn’t get the chance. The maids moved quickly, already walking towards her. She didn’t resist. I don’t think she had it in her to.

I didn’t watch her leave. I didn’t need to. Her scent lingered long after she was gone.

When I made it back to my office, I didn’t sit immediately. I stood by the window, the moonlight washing over the empty courtyard, my hands locked behind my back, fists tight. I was angry, but it wa

  • 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

  • When My Mate Chose Another, the Lycan King Chose Me   133: You're coming with me?

    Natasha’s POVMorning came quietly, soft streaks of light spilling across the curtains and pulling me out of sleep. I turned slowly, blinking through the drowsiness, and found Lucien already awake. He was standing by the window, shirt half-buttoned, eyes fixed on the faint horizon outside like he’d been up for hours. There was a tension in the air, not loud or obvious, but steady—something that told me he’d made up his mind about something long before I even opened my eyes.He turned slightly when he noticed I was awake. “We’re leaving today,” he said, his voice calm but firm, like there was no room for argument.I stared at him for a moment, the words barely sinking in. “Leaving?” I repeated, sitting up slowly. “Already?”“It’s been long enough,” he said, adjusting the cuff of his sleeve.I wanted to laugh a little at that, because long enough was barely two days. But with Lucien, time never seemed to move normally. He lived like the world was always on his heels, like stopping for t

  • When My Mate Chose Another, the Lycan King Chose Me   132: Fix it

    Lucien’s POVThe words had barely left my mouth before I regretted them.“It’s just the mate bond, nothing much.”I could still hear them echoing in the air, careless and sharp, like something that had slipped through my guard before I could stop it. The silence that followed was heavy, almost suffocating. Abram’s smile faltered, that easy light in his eyes dimming as though I had just said something profoundly disappointing. He looked between me and Natasha, the corner of his jaw tightening slightly, and I knew I had gone too far.I didn’t look at her. I couldn’t. Because if I did, I’d see that flicker in her eyes—the one that always comes before she looks away, the quiet kind of hurt that doesn’t need words to make its point.So I leaned back in my seat, pretending like I hadn’t noticed a thing, like I was perfectly fine. I reached for the glass of water on the table, took a long drink, and told myself I was calm. I wasn’t. My hands were shaking, just slightly, and my heartbeat was

  • When My Mate Chose Another, the Lycan King Chose Me   131: She's Pregnant

    Natasha’s POVThe sound of Lucien’s voice cut through the air, sharp and cautious. “Stay back,” he said, and the sudden shift in his tone sent a cold prickle down my spine. He moved closer to the door, the gun already in his hand, his entire body still but alert. I stood behind him, clutching my robe tighter.He looked through the peephole. “Abram?” He blurted. For a second, his posture didn’t change, his hand still resting on the gun. Then his shoulders eased just slightly, the tension thinning but not leaving completely. He unlocked the door and pulled it open, and there he was—Abram, tall, broad-shouldered, with that easy smirk that always looked halfway between charm and arrogance.Lucien’s brows drew together. “How did you find us?” he asked, his voice still edged with suspicion.Abram chuckled softly, running a hand through his hair. “I wasn’t looking for you, trust me,” he said. “I had a meeting nearby and decided to lodge here for the night. Then I spotted your car from my wi
