Semua Bab BRIDE OF THE BEAST LYCAN KING: Bab 51 - Bab 60

Iris's POV I heaved for breath inside the boot, I might pass out at any moment if I didn't inhale fresh air. Rhea and I were squeezed inside the boot, and clearly, there was someone or something else with us.“Rhea.” I called, huffing. “Let's push against the boot.” We groaned, as we tried to push open the boot but to no avail. I felt my strength depleting fast and I knew I would definitely black out soon.“Let's try, one more time.” I said, my voice barely a whisper.We pushed again with our last strength, and if it didn't open; we’d be gone. Eventually, the boot opened slightly and fresh air seeped in. I gasped, as I inhaled the air.Together, we pushed it open fully and sluggishly dragged ourselves out. There were other cars packed behind it. I stood up, walking out from behind the car. I could see a tall, large building with people walking to and fro in it.“Woww! What is this place?” I gasped.“Looks like some kind of work place.” Rhea muttered from behind.“Wait a minute, are

Lucian’s POV “That was one way to handle the issue. You were riling them up Lucian, they’d be after you.” Azariel stated.“I didn't do anything.” I looked at him innocently, “If there was any one that pissed the council members, give accolades to your brother.”“I’ll take that as a compliment, thank you Luci.” Ariel grinned which further irked Azariel.“Wait!” Someone called from the back, it was Beom.He stood in front of us, heaving.“You look like you ran several kilometres. Meanwhile you only ran from the hall to this place.” I stated.“You!” He raised his fingers. “You always find ways to annoy me.”“I'm here for you Azariel.” He crossed his arms, facing Azariel.“Since you faked your death, you didn't say anything to me. I guess that's how it is now, right? You made everyone worried.” He gritted his teeth.“Quick notice, I wasn't worried. His burial would have been an emotional one.” I said in a monotone voice.“I'm sorry.” Azariel gave a light smile, his voice unusually deeper

Huh? Did he just say Lucian? I sat on the ground as I stared at his outstretched hand. Then I remembered Dianne's words.“There are two Lucians, the mad king and the beast king.”The beast king was the one I lived with, my nightmare. Then this man in front of me would be the….mad king.The mad king…the one who Dianne said flayed one of his wives, was standing right in front of me. I gulped as my heart beat rapidly. I looked at the corpses one more time and then at his hands, which had blood stains on them. He had saved us from these men.“Oops. My hands are stained, sorry about that.” He wiped his hands and stretched it forth at me again.I gulped as I slowly took his hand and he lifted me up.“Can you walk by yourself or do you need me to carry you?” He asked.“No, thanks. I’ll be fine.” I rejected immediately with an awkward smile.“Thank you for saving us.” I muttered with a slight bow.“It's nothing. It's just my gentle manliness that's slowly coming back, I thought I lost it.”

“Well, well, well. Look who we have here, what a coincidence.” She smiled. “Aren't you meant to be at your pack now?”“It's a long story.” I muttered as I explained everything to her, from how the cab driver brought us here to how he attacked us with his men, and finally Lucian, the mad king coming to save us and how we got to the hospital.“It's understandable that Lucian killed those men, he can't stand the likes of them. But he let his driver bring you and your friend to his hospital? That's new.” She looked surprised.“He has definitely caught interest in one of you, or both of you; maybe.” She laughed lightly but I wasn't finding it funny.He was interested in who?I subconsciously imagined the scene of him flaying his wife, and it was enough to send shivers down my spine.“Thank you for the information. I’ll immediately leave with Rhea.” I muttered quickly and she burst out laughing.“You really are as quick as a horse. Is that how much you're scared of him? Don't worry, he won'

Iris's POV My heart thumped rapidly, that I feared those in the room could hear it. I sat, glued to the seat without being able to make any movement. Lucian stood by the door, staring into my soul with those cold blue eyes.The mad king on the other hand, didn't seem ready to leave. I was screwed, he had definitely misunderstood and with the way he was looking at me, he looked like he would tear me apart at any moment soon.The plan was to explain everything to the mad king, so that if the search party got here, Lucian would understand. But instead, Lucian had found me first.“I can explain.” The words jumped out from my mouth as Lucian took a step forward.Still locking gazes with me, each step was like a death sentence to me. He stood in front of me, his height towering. Then he withdrew his gaze and now faced Lucian, the mad king.I was in between them, feeling so damn uncomfortable. Looking at them up close, they were the same height. But Lucian, my nightmare seems to be slightly
