Semua Bab Lycan Brothers Want Me: Bab 171 - Bab 180

VALERIE The silence that fell in the room made my heart race in fear. I dared not look in the direction of the Lycan king to avoid falling to the ground and losing my hard-earned confidence. I could feel his cold, striking grey eyes on me, his red, slightly cracked lips pursed out in anger at my intrusion."Who are you?" His cold voice pierced the air, causing goosebumps to appear on my skin. I gulped hard before raising my head to meet the eyes that ate me up. His beards were as white as snow with no fickle of a different color and his face glowed in the room, giving off ethereal vibes.In his right hand was a staff that I thought I had seen somewhere in the future."Who are you?" He growled again, pulling me out of the reverie that I was in."I…" my lips trembled, the words refusing to leave my mouth. "She…" I stammered, darting my eyes towards Jasmine. Disappointment flooded her eyes and she heaved loudly, staring at me in bemusement.My heart constricted as I realized that I

VALERIE We walked silently along the path, taking in the fragrance that hung in the air around the garden. Somehow, it felt like I was with Damion. That feeling was still there, that warm smile and eyes filled with longing, the only difference was that the longing in her eyes was not for me.She made me feel comfortable, just the same way Damion made me feel comfortable. I wondered why a beautiful soul like her didn't get the chance to live a longer life. What could have killed her? Sickness?My throat knotted at that thought and I heard my heart make a slight cracking sound as it tightened.I pushed the thought off and concentrated on her being alive. "I love your courage. Standing up against my father is something no one has ever done," she said, pulling her lacy sleeve down even though it didn't need the effort. "I was never born with the gift to rebel against everyone. I got it as I grew up in the darkest time of my life," I replied. She smiled lightly and tilted her head, p

VALERIE She seemed to be in even greater shock than I was. Perhaps, she never expected to find her greatest enemy in front of her door, wearing an Innocent look on her face. She shot up her head and shifted back, a sneer replacing the shock on her face. "What are you doing here?" She groused, waving her fingers at me. I threw my head back, not surprised at her reaction to my sudden appearance. "I came to talk to you," I said, sounding as calm as possible. She turned up her lips in disdain, scoffing loudly before narrowing her eyes. "If you're here to convince me to take the blame then I won't do it. Let's see how far this investigation will go," she muttered, grinning sinisterly.My eyes dimmed in suspicion at her words. I could tell she was up to something to protect herself. I knew she wouldn't go down so easily, but I had to find out about the Isle of the Blessed before digging out whatever evil plot she was crafting. "I'm not here to talk about that," I said. The smile o

VALERIE There was no lie about it. I would leave the Pack the moment the Lycan prince steps out of his chambers. What was worse and terrified me the most was the judgment he might pass on me. Perhaps, death? I slipped down to the ground and dropped my head into my wet palm, thinking of ways to escape death and also get into the Isle of the Blessed. The only idea that crept into my mind was to run off before he caught me. I bit my lips, knowing that would be the only choice even though it was a dumb idea. What would happen to the girl and Jasmine? Renee would use my disappearance as an opportunity to kill the girl and have Jasmine take the fall. A step out of the Pack will lead to uncertainty of finding the Isle of the Blessed. I scrambled to my feet and began to sneak out of the hallway, still pondering the thought of running away. I had to make up my mind as soon as possible if I wanted to survive. I made for my room, my feet shaking violently as Zelda's words echoed in my hea

VALERIE My heart skipped multiple beats and my hands began to tremble. I was doomed, I needed no one to tell me that whatever meeting the Lycan prince was calling was for me. He was going to call me out in front of all the women in the manor and have me either thrown out or killed. I shivered at the thought and gasped loudly, bringing my despair to Victoria's knowledge. Her brows raised in surprise when she darted her eyes towards me. She moved away from the window and rushed towards me then took a seat beside me. "What is wrong? Are you scared of going to the Isle of the Blessed?" She asked, her eyes filled with concern. I shook my head, still trembling in fear of what the Lycan prince could do to me. I swerved my head in Victoria's direction and gripped her hand. "Do you… do you think the Lycan prince will have me killed after finding out?" I asked. Her jaws dropped in dismay and she clasped her hand against her mouth, gasping loudly. "He knows about it, right?" She mutter
