บททั้งหมดของ The Alpha King's Baby: บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

Lucius's POVWhen Lucas spoke about this, I thought it was stupid and childish but as I knelt in front of her with the ring waiting for her reply, my entire body became on edge.My wolf perched closer to the surface, watching Diane's beautiful face.Today more than ever, her face looked impossibly familiar. Her green eyes shone as she stared down at me.The dress she wore accentuated her curves, making it harder for me to keep my eyes on her face.She was beautiful. My soul was drawn into her beauty and fear kissed the edges of my heart.I thought I wouldn't mind whatever she said but I found myself hoping she would accept."Lucas made you do this, didn't he?" She said, slicing through the tension that was developing in my chest."He said it was your tradition..." I mumbled with my eyes fixed on hers. "You have decided to do this for Owen, I want to show my gratitude. I want to stand by you. I want to fulfill every tradition because you deserve it all..."She pulled her bottom lip int

Diane's POVSaturday morning came and the sound of my doorbell was what woke me that morning."We have a couple of miles to beat and you dare sleep till ten in the morning? What are you?" Sophie hissed as she stepped into the house with large shopping bags in her hands.I wiped my face with the back of my hand and followed behind her as she dropped the bags on the floor and sat on my couch."What's that?" I mumbled, sniffling a yawn."Good morning to you too. Now these are dresses and a gift for your grandparents and yes, you are welcome," she hissed once again.A small smile broke on my face as I moved to check the content of what she got. It was truly a bag full of dresses and one that contained a packaged wristwatch and a makeup box for my grandparents."Aww, Sophie, this is too much," I exclaimed as I unwrapped my dresses.One was a simple sundress and the other was a dinner gown, strapless and very sexy."That's for your first date with—" she paused and I looked up at her.Her ey

Diane's POV It was a week to my supposed wedding and Sophie had managed to pull me out of the house to go shop for a dress."Sometimes I don't know what goes on in that head of yours!" She hissed as she grabbed my hands and led me to the boutique ahead of us."It is your wedding yet you act like you are a spectator! Baby girl, you are the main lead in this story, own it!" She added.I smiled weakly but said nothing.If I said I was developing cold feet, it would be an understatement. My feet were completely frozen at this point.How did I get to this place? Why was I getting married? Had I lost my mind?I questioned every step and decision. The only thing that remained clear was Owen. God, I loved that child.He still hadn't added another word to his vocabulary but his doctor said it was a good sign."Are you even listening to me?" Sophie snapped two of her fingers in front of me pulling me out of my thoughts."Yes, I am Sophie," I mumbled and moved to the first row of dresses.The w

Lucius's POVThe moment our lips touched, an electric current sizzled between us. It was so strong that it didn't just course through my veins and out, it settled in my heart.Her scent grew stronger like a deep blend of jasmine and roses."Mine..." My wolf growled within me recognizing the bond that intertwined around us.I had to pull away from her before my wolf took over. This wasn't like our mating ceremony in the pack. Humans wouldn't understand the primal sexual need that came when a male recognized their mate.As we pulled apart, she stared at me with clouded eyes. She must have felt the pull. She must have felt the wave of current driving beneath our skins... but she wouldn't understand it.The guests were clapping and screaming but we were in our little bubble. We could only see ourselves and no one else."You should smile... You will get to fuck her in the hotel... Calm your dick, brother!" Lucas whispered in my ears.I snapped out of my daze and forced a smile. Sophie and

Diane's POVThe compromise passed and I couldn't be happier. A victorious smile remained on my face throughout the party. When we returned to the hotel, I slept peacefully because Lucius had somehow disappeared and my smile went along with it the moment I woke up in the middle of the night and found an empty bed.I got off the bed and wrapped a robe around my body. I went out to the balcony in search of him, but he wasn't there.I knocked on the bathroom door, waiting for him to respond —he had taken a lot of finger food. It was normal for him to develop a runny stomach."Lucius?" I called, but no one responded.My heart skipped a beat and panic started seeping in. What was going on? Where did he go?I tested the door knob and it opened. With a deep sigh, I pushed it wider and stepped in.Everywhere was silent. There was no sound at all. If he was using the toilet, I should have been hearing the trickling of water or shower or anything at all —but there was nothing."Lucius?" I cal
