Semua Bab BRIDE OF THE BEAST LYCAN KING: Bab 11 - Bab 20

IrisI felt a bright light hit my face, and I sat up with a grunt. It was morning, and it seemed like the sun was perched right at my window.I sat up rubbing my eyes with one hand, and rubbing my forehead with the other. A panging headache gripped me as I recalled the events of the day before.The last thing I remembered were the butler's words, “No, milady, I'm a ghoul,” before I blacked out.The first thought that came to mind at that moment was to run, but instead, I passed out. How did I get back to my room? Was it the butler that brought me here?I shivered at the thought of him picking me up. Of course, I had the right to be scared; who wouldn't be? I was face to face with a freaking ghoul and I’d have to see him probably everyday.Ghouls are creatures that rob graves and feed on dead bodies. Maybe he eats the dead bodies of Lucian's wives after he kills them.“Shit! I have to get out of here.” I muttered.I should have expected this from someone like Lucian, with the reputatio

Iris's POV My legs were rooted to the ground and I couldn't move an inch. I played the voice note over and over again but only one sentence kept replaying in my head, “If we get no report by midnight, we’ll bury her body.”I couldn't find the number of the person who sent the message. The sender was tagged anonymously without any number attachments to it.Lady Mica…why did that name sound oddly familiar?I was having a bad feeling about this. Lucian was the infamous beast king, so killing was something that should be expected of him. At this moment, I couldn't panic. I must make good my escape tonight. I need to master the nook and cranny of the mansion to make things easier. I didn't know if it was possible to do that in one day, but I just had to.Taking a deep breath, I dropped my phone on the glass table in the bathroom. I picked up a toothbrush and began brushing, looking at my reflection in the mirror.“You can do this.” I whispered to myself before spitting out the contents

Iris's POV “Lock the door immediately!” Samantha exclaimed.Eloise entered fully and locked the door with shaky hands. She stood with her back rested on the door as she breathed heavily.A surprise expression flickered in her eyes as she saw Samantha sitting on the bed.“Come sit.” I patted on the bed.Her lips pursed as she looked hesitantly from Samantha to me. I expected her to retort or disagree as Samantha had done, but she instead took careful steps and sat right beside Samantha.“How did it happen?” Samantha asked.“I went to get the Luna’s food, but I couldn't find Ivan in the kitchen. There were no maids too. I stood there trying to figure out what was going on because it was unusual. Then I heard a wobble in the kitchen’s cupboard.” She paused, fear flashing in her eyes.“I walked towards the cupboard and opened it. In it was…in it was the butchered and mutilated parts of some maids.” She closed her eyes.Samantha sighed and rubbed her arm comfortingly. That was indeed a ho

Iris's POV“Sorry, I'm so sorry. I didn't know it was you.” I panicked as I watched Ariel rub his eyes.It turned out that Ariel killed the beast immediately when the door fell down. We attacked with the pepper spray, but directed it all at Ariel in a moment of panic. I failed to notice the corpse of the beast on the floor.I had washed his eyes and asked Samantha to get ice packs as his eyes were red. Meanwhile Eloise held a mini fan, hovering it around his eyes to cool it. I sat beside him, consoling him and trying to get him to open his eyes full. It was a Miracle he hadn't gone blind as I used the spray with massive force alongside Samantha and Eloise. He had to open his eyes before his brother arrived. Looking at the relationship between Azariel and Lucian, I was sure Lucian would let Azariel deal with me.I didn't want to imagine what Azariel would do to me for doing this to his brother. With the way he acted some days back, it was obvious he loved his brother. I shivered at th

Iris's POV “The night of my escape”I stared at the ceiling with my heart racing so fast.“Lucian is back”, I whispered to myself. “Trouble is back” is added.I closed my eyes slightly and I opened it back, I tossed to and fro on the sofa but it didn't amount to bringing me to sleep.“I, Iris, don't be a fool”, I whispered to myself.My eyes were fixed to the ceiling. It seemed my mind had captured what I wanted, but my heart was still finding a way to process it.I was so dull in making the decision until it jumped out of my mouth and out of my mind, “Run away.. Run away”I gasped for air as if someone was hearing me, but it was so dark to have anyone around me to be active except for the guards.I stood up gently and went to the window, and my intuition was so right; no one was actively awake, and even some of the guards were dozing off as much they weren't seeing anything to pursue.I numbed my finger in the air, and I jumped up slightly, as if I just won a jackpot.What will this
