Semua Bab Two Times Rejected, Now Desired By The Lycan King.: Bab 161 - Bab 170

Reader’s POVThe throne room reeked of the incense. Sunlight streamed through the stained glass windows, casting fractured rainbow shapes across the marble floors, but nothing could cleanse the tension that hung thickly in the air. Jake’s voice echoed through the hall as he ratted like a man who had been betrayed because in a way, he had been, but not in the way he imagined.“You killed him!” he barked, jabbing a trembling finger toward Scarlet. “You and Emma, you plotted this from the start. You poisoned him, watched him suffer for months, and now you want to sit on his throne like nothing happened?” He was on the verge of tears but mother and daughter were unfazed by his rambling.Scarlet just stood there, her arms crossed on her chest with a defiant look dancing in her eyes and pose. Her crimson gown hugged her curves like armor, and her expression was unreadable as a mask.Emma on the other hand remained composed. She was seated beside the throne, her fingers intertwined on he

Asher’s POV“Is she really an Alpha breed like she claims?" Miller said behind me whilst I was trying to bring Aurora back to the present.I was going to tell her about her father's death when she was fully recovered but Miller conveniently said it to her without mincing a word. She had sounded like it was a piece of good news that she couldn't hold back to herself and now, she was making fun of her.It took every ounce of self control I had in me not to lunge at her and snap her neck into two as I watched the steady rise and fall of Aurora’s chest. She was breathing, but her mind hadn’t returned. Her fingers twitched occasionally, as if reaching for something that wasn’t there. Seeing her this way tore me.“I told you,” Miller said from the doorway, her tone maddeningly calm, “you should have told her the truth yourself. It would have hurt, yes but not like this.”I clenched my jaw, refusing to look at her.“She needed to hear it from you and not from some random person walking int

Aurora’s POVI was spiraling. I was awake, but it felt like I had drowned in the dark blue ocean of silence.Lying on my back, I was staring at the ceiling, but I couldn’t see anything. My tears had long dried on my face so I didn't bother to wipe them off.My throat ached from the screaming, but no sound would come anymore, not even a single drop of tears. All that remained was the crushing weight inside my chest, the kind of weight that made it hard to breathe.Miller told me my father was gone, he was dead.No, he was murdered and I, his daughter who had promised to save him, wasn't there when he needed me the most.Instead, I had been unconscious and wrapped in my own pain, while Emma and Scarlet carried out their plan like a carefully choreographed dance. And now, he was in the ground, alone and without me leaving my promise pending as he was no longer alive for me to keep to my words. A silent dread crawled up my chest, the feeling of indebtedness to my father squeezing my h

Reader’s POVA month later…The moment Asher saw Miller at the entrance of his study, he shifted his gaze somewhere else, pretending to be busy but beneath the surface, he was simmering with anger.For the past few days, she had made it a point of duty to always pay him a visit and repeating the same request over and over again. It was about a party she has shown interest in and so she had been urging Asher to allow Aurora to be in attendance which he had blatantly refused to. When she brought up the topic at first, Asher was present and so without wasting time, he refused. He didn't even allow Aurora to air her mind. Ignoring the frown on his face, Miller waddled her way into the study, halting just in front of the table he was sitting behind.“Please, I know you are still mad at me. I deserve it." She mumbled, biting her lower lips.“I don't want to have this conversation with you, why don't you get it?" He snarled. Falling back on his seat, he covered his face with his palm an

Asher’s POVEarlier, I shoved it aside that I was overreacting but not anymore. I could feel it deep in my bones, it was glaring that something was wrong.For the past fifteen minutes, I had been trying to keep calm but I found myself pacing back and forth in my study, unable to concentrate on the reports in front of me. The numbers blurred together as my thoughts kept drifting back to Aurora again and again. I had told myself several times that she would be fine and that she didn’t need me hovering over her all the time but every instinct in me screamed otherwise.When I looked out the window toward the distant lights of the party venue, I clenched my jaw as a cold unease was spreading through my chest.It was sharp and unrelenting and so I couldn’t ignore it any longer.Seething, I slammed the file shut and strode out of the room.The moment I stepped outside, the night air slapped my sweaty face. “Are you going somewhere?" Talen asked behind me.“Yes," I replied and the next min
