บททั้งหมดของ The Hated Mate (Lycan and his Lover Book 2): บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 50

Phillippe and Moira are sitting in the garden. Moira is dressed in the finest silk gown while Phillippe is wearing a long purple robe and the golden crown adoring his head. A long table has been placed in the middle of the large garden. Several trays of food are displayed on the table which are prepared by the finest chefs in the country. Over twenty varieties of pancakes of different colors are decorated on the table. The aroma of freshly made buns and baguettes is strong in the air while there is a bowl of soft, scrambled eggs placed in front of each seat. Different flavors of cheese are kept beside the eggs and there are baskets of fried bacon which are refilled after every few minutes. Guinevere is sitting beside the Emperor and Damien is seated next to her. Despite the lavish food in front of them, none of them are eating. They are waiting for

The soldiers are busy welcoming the guests for the Solstice. They are scattered all over the town, escorting the royal guests to the lavish inns which have been prepared for them. Everyone is on high alert because noble families from all over the world are going to attend the Solstice and there is heavy security around each family. Carriages are lined on the streets leading to the castle but the main gates have been shut off so that the citizens cannot enter the premises. The inns have been thoroughly inspected and rebuilt so that the royal families from other parts of the world can live in comfort. The gates suddenly open and a golden carriage wheels in. It is larger than the other carriages with several gold plates stuck on it, shining brightly. The coachman gets off the ledge and opens the door.A blo

Lavi’s reverie is broken by Ariel who suddenly steps between him and Anna. Ariel is beaming at him but he is utterly annoyed by the intrusion because she is blocking his view of Anna.

She heard a feminine voice addressing Lavi in an intimate way and she does not like it.In fact, she wants to wring the girl by her throat and punch her.“Vanya, you are hurting me!” Guinevere squeaks.“Oh! I am sorry-”“Lavi, you look so dashing tonight!” Ariel goes on. She clings on to his arm and grazes her chest against him. Her low cut dress is showing off her cleavage and the yellow gown she is wearing easily catches the eye of the people. 

Lavi turns to Anna who maintains a poker face. He frowns at her, feeling suspicious.“Why were you with him?” He demands.“I was talking to him about the mountains of Ezealyra,” Anna says innocently. “They are pretty.”“You are lying.”“Think whatever you want,” Anna sighs. “But we really were talking about the mountains. Sir Sidorov is also the one who killed the Emperor of Soloma in battle so I wanted to know more about him. Frankly, I am impressed by him.”Lavi scowls in annoyance. “He is nothing but a pretty face!” Lavi snaps.“So he is

Damien smirks at the girl. Anna is unflinching in her stance. She can feel Damien’s happy persona being replaced with the sadistic one as if he wants nothing more than to torment her.“You are Lavi’s mate, are you not?” He asks in a soft whisper. “I knew it all along…”Anna hears him walking across the room. CREAAAAK!Goosebumps rise in her arms as Damien drags something. He places a table in front of her and grabs Anna’s left wrist. Her body is too weak from the silver and she cannot attack him. Taking advantage of her weakness, he places her palm on a smooth metal surface.Anna growls when he places her index finger in a round ring-like object. Two clamps clasp her nail
