Lahat ng Kabanata ng BRIDE OF THE BEAST LYCAN KING: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

Iris's POV A dry laugh left my lips as I sat in the cold empty prison. I didn't regret trying to escape and given another chance, I’d make sure I succeeded. What was I thinking before? Why did I even let the thought that he was different get to me? I thanked the Light that I had listened to the thoughts that advised me to escape. I should have seen the signs, despite the fact that he had saved me and got my father whipped for me. That still didn't change anything, it still doesn't mean I was safe and wouldn't go missing like the rest of his wives. I remembered his words back in my bedroom, “Don't ever let other men lay on your bed, little mouse.”I shuddered at the thought of it. His eyes looked so cold at that moment, and his voice sounded…obsessive. At this point, I certainly didn't care. He was a jerk for putting me in here. But to be honest, I had expected something worse than just being put in prison without any food or water for days.“To hell with him.” I muttered as I laid

Iris’s POV I couldn't explain the relief I felt the moment I left his room. Inside, it was like I was standing on thin ropes that would snap at any moment. He managed to rile me up and calm me down at the same time. I didn't know if I would be able to hold back my tongue for so long.He was another different person when he was stating the rules that I wondered if he was the same person who stood up for me back home. The one who got my father whipped…for me.He wasn't someone I could understand, he was a twisted piece of shit messing with my head. He had coldly sent me to the prison and still brought me back, saving me from the shadow. Then he spoke so coldly I couldn't help but be scared.He was never direct with his answers. I wondered what to make of his answer when I asked him if he killed his wives.“Never go to my study, never attempt to unmask me, don't poke your nose in what does not concern you.” I mimicked what he told me, “Tch, bastard. Who wants to see his face.”If these

Iris's POV “I promise you it isn't what you’re thinking.” I groaned, nearly pulling my hair in frustration. “He just helped me with a change of clothes, that's all.“Hmm, I see. Why did he change your clothes if you weren't already doing something…” Samantha trailed while Eloise giggled.I paused, wondering if I should tell them what really happened last night. How I tried to escape and the events that followed. They were kind, nice and funny and they seemed trustworthy. I bit my lips hard. No, not yet. I wouldn't tell them now, I’ll watch to see how trustworthy they really are. “I just went to check up on him, and he asked me to stay the night. I guess I kind of sweated a lot, so he helped me take off the clothes.” I explained, half lies and half truths.“What? If your words are true, it means the alpha spent the whole night with a beautiful woman like you and didn't touch you? Unbelievable.” Samantha said dramatically.“If that's so, it could only mean two things. Either the king

Iris's POV“Why is the floor forbidden?” I asked.“Well, the floors from this side upwards are restricted. Maids are not allowed to cross it, only the butler is. That's what we were told when we first arrived here.” Samantha explained.“But I should be immune to it, shouldn't I?” I queried.“You should. I just panicked because we were severely warned not to cross to this floor. We had been so engaged in our chats that we lost our way.” Samantha giggled.“Would you like to see the servant’s wing?” She asked.“I’d like to.”As she led the way, my mind kept on wandering to the forbidden floor. What was there that they didn't want others to see? I hadn't really taken much notice of the place except that it was dimly lit, and there were a few paintings on the wall. Could Lucian's study be there? The normal and best thing to do was to stop being curious and avoid the place, but there was something about it that drew me. It made me want to explore it, I don't know why I was always drawn to

Iris's POV I yelped as I shifted back shifted back immediately. I rubbed my eyes to see it was playing pranks with me, but it wasn't. The creature still stood, looking at me with curious eyes.“You don't look human.” It tilted his head and stroked its jaws.“Milady what’s wrong?” Eloise asked.“There…there…there's something on the ground here.” I pointed to the thing.“Let me take a look.” She said as she stepped forward, looking at the direction I was pointing to. She darted her eyes about, looking past the creature.“I see nothing milady. What exactly did you see? A bug?” She asked.I paused, my brows raised. Is she not seeing the thing in front of her?“It's…it's right there before you.” I stuttered.“Wait let me take a look.” Samantha stepped forward, squatting and peering her eyes.“There's nothing here milady.” She rose to her face.I opened my mouth to say something but clamped it back. It dawned on me, they couldn't see the dwarf boy.“I swear something is really here…” I tr
