บททั้งหมดของ MATED TO THE LYCAN KING: บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 50

King GrimgorThe trial began, and the weight of the false accusations hung heavily in the air. Veronica stood strong, her head held high, despite the unjust accusations being thrown at her. The courtroom was filled with tension as the pack watched intently, their eyes darting between Veronica, my father, and me."We are gathered here today to bear witness to the trial of Veronica, the Luna of Ravenswood pack. "Do you swear in the name of the moon goddess that you will say nothing but the truth to whatever question you are asked?" I asked, staring directly at Veronica.I met her face. How those green eyes haunt me now."Yes. I do," she answers."And what do you plead?" I asked, tensed that she would accept being guilty. She was someone who would definitely jump into that."Not guilty," she said, to my surprise. An attempt to survive? This is the first time I've seen her make such an attempt.As witness after witness testified against her, presenting manipulated evidence and false test

VERONICAI slowly opened my eyes, the dim light filtering through the small window of my cramped cell. Blinking away the remnants of sleep, I sat up and stretched my tired limbs, feeling the stiffness in my back from another restless night on the cold, hard bed. As my mind cleared, the realization of my imprisonment hit me once again, the weight of it settling heavily upon my shoulders.A metallic clank echoed through the narrow corridor outside, and my heart skipped a beat. I knew that sound all too well. It meant the routine had begun—the daily cycle of monotony and oppression that defined my existence. The familiar footsteps of the guards grew louder, accompanied by the jingling of keys, as they made their way down the corridor, stopping in front of my cell."Time to rise, prisoner!" one of the guards sneered, his voice laced with disdain. "Today is your lucky day. You get to exercise."I almost lost my cool. How could he address Luna so rudely? I ignored him. I didn't even have mu

VERONICAI saw more men outside waiting patiently for us to arrive."Is that the one?" One of the men asked the man holding the knife about me."Yes. She is. Cute right?" He chuckled. "I thought she was more. If She is just a human, does she really deserve all of us coming here for her? One person could have been enough," another said mockingly. I couldn't see his face, but his eyes didn't glow like the other guy's that came inside. What was his name again?...Before I could gather how many they were, they twisted both of my hands backwards and tied them together with some kind of wire or something. I was sure that it wasn't a rope, but it burned painfully deep into my skin.I wanted to yell out because of the excruciating pain, but before I could, my mouth was covered with something I couldn't even tell what it was.One of them held my head, ducking and shoving me into a car. The reviving engine filled the car, and two other men came sitting side by side with me in their center. Two

VERONICA"Are you in a hurry, miss?" A young man appeared before me. His attire gives him off as a wealthy man. He came in smiling brightly, like he had met an old friend."I am married, you dumbass. Mrs. and not Miss," I replied, trying again to climb the wall. I don't know why exactly I said that, but I guess because I was pissed.He shoved me down from where I wanted to climb and pinned me to the wall. He was impermissibly close, and I held my breath tight, avoiding his disappointingly beautiful scent."I do not care if you are married or not. If I want you, I will have you without Grimgor coming to your rescue. You should have known by now that he doesn't live or care for you". His words melted into my heart like wax. He has this cold and deep voice that, unfortunately, I like. Grimgor really doesn't care, but what? How the hell did he know Grimgor?"You know my husband?. How?" I couldn't help my curiosity as I whispered. There was no need to shout or talk loudly since his face w

EMILY'S POV. It didn't take much time before the news got to me that Veronica was missing. I didn't know exactly what to do, but I had to inform the king once I saw him.I could have checked if someone was spying on us the day she met with those other werewolves. Maybe the king got wind of it and ordered for her to be killed.I was nervous even though I knew she should have some magic to defend herself, so I heard she should, but what If she doesn't.I had to find King Grimgor. He needed to know about Veronica's disappearance immediately. I hurried through the corridors of the castle, my heart pounding with each step. The weight of the news burdened me, and I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that settled deep within me.As I reached the grand hall, I spotted Prince Ezra engrossed in a conversation with someone, maybe a business associate or someone I don't give a fuck about. I couldn't wait until I saw his brother before I informed him.I approached him cautiously, careful no
