Semua Bab Two Months: Desired By The Lycan’s King : Bab 41 - Bab 50

Chapter 41 Celene pov “Argh I am so tired nikka,” my screams are muffled by my pillow, as I grieve over the past week's incident, “Each day grows more exhausting from the last. I just can't deal. I don't think I even want to leave my room ever again.” A soft chuckle escaped the speaker of my phone, as Nikka my one and only friend who had managed to escape this pack when she got mated to an Alpha said, ” Come on, it's not that bad Mondrian saved you. You are alive. I'm sure that's a silver lining.” “Silver lining?” I repeated, my emotions surged like an inferno, “What silver lining Nikka? I'm going crazy here. Everywhere I go, danger follows. One moment, I am going about my day, the next, I’m inches away from death. Whether it is a falling tree branch narrowly missing my head or a rogue wolf lunging at me from the shadows, there's always something happening. I am always on edge.” “That seems kind of odd, Despite your wicked stepmother Valerie's constant schemes and her rabid mons

Chapter 43 Mondrian The smell of smoke hit me first. Thick, acrid, and choking. My senses flared instantly, heart raced at the thought of something so terrible happening. I pushed open the heavy doors of the palace office, where a few minutes ago I had been in a meeting with a few of my delegates, Valerie included. “What is going on?” Alpha Daniel said, his belly jiggled at each word as Valerie eyed the corner. “Probably just a small mishap.” She said we should head back inside. No one moved as the elders continued to stare at the smoke as they shuffled around, murmurs of their confusion filled the air yet none moved to find out more. My eyes narrowed as I gazed at budding flames licking at the far corners of the pack. Chaos erupted all around me—sentries and servants running, yelling, doing everything they could to contain the fire. “Alpha!” a voice called out towards Daniel, panicked and breathless. I spun around face to face the young wolf, his face ashen. “What happened?”

Chapter 45 Celene “Celene” I jumped at the sound of the familiar voice calling my name, my heart raced as I spun around, and my breath hitched in my throat. Mondrian stood by the doorway, his chest rose and fell with barely restrained intensity. “Gosh, you scared me,” I said, throwing him a small smile, as I stood wave of guilt for being caught ransacking his clothes flushed my skin red. His eyes hooded, with an emotion I couldn't not place. For a moment, both of us remained in silence. I pulled on a loose shirt I had found in his closet—his shirt. My cheeks grew red as I realized he had been staring at me. His gaze lingered on my skin, intense as it raked all over, as if greedy to take it all, it made my pulse quicken. I flushed under his scrutiny, as I battled not to let it affect me but I couldn't help but feel a pool on my lower stomach. It was excitement. “Mondrian, you are here” I breathed, the word escaped my lips before I could stop it. He stepped forward as he gr

47 Celene “Celene,’’ she said, her sharp voice cut through the fog made denser by thoughts of Mondrian. I flinched, startled, as I looked up at her. She stood with her arms crossed, an unimpressed expression on her face. “You seem... distracted.” I forced a smile, though it felt awkward, ever since the issue with Cristoff I didn't want to be too close to her, not that we were ever close in the first place, “Just... a lot on my mind.” She raised an eyebrow, her gaze flickered over me as it shone with a strange kind of curiosity. “Is that so? It is understandable after all…” She trailed off as an odd glint flashed in her eyes, I grew uncomfortable with her stare as I shifted in my seat, “After all what, Ella?” My voice came much harsher than I intended. “ Oh, it nothing…. It is just funny, isn't it? You just survived a fire, and yet... not a single burn mark.” “Well, that's all thanks to Alpha Mondrian. I heard he called for the very best of healers for me. I am indeed grateful.

49 Mondrian The talk with Alex had soured my mood, I couldn't bring myself to focus. Although the thought of pushing Celene, scared me, her current actions kept me worried. After her accident, I decided to put a stop to the attack on Celene, partly because the thought that my actions had created a ripple effect causing others to perceive Celene as an easy target bothered me and I didn't fully trust Ella. As I paced the floor length of my room the sound of the door closing alerted me of her return, without another thought I hurried after her desperate to catch a glimpse of her. The moment I reached her door, her scent enveloped me, warm and soothing as my wolf urged me to hurry, I hesitated for a moment before I knocked. “Celene.” No answer. I knocked again, louder this time, but there was still no response. “Celene. I know you are in there. Open the door we need to talk.” My hand hovered over the doorknob, as my wolf urged me to just go in. To take what was mine. I assessed
