Alle Kapitel von When My Mate Chose Another, the Lycan King Chose Me: Kapitel 171 – Kapitel 179

Lucien’s POV"What do you have to say?" The volume of my voice increased Her eyes widened. “That... That's a lie.""Where did you get those?""Does it matter?" I snapped back at her in anger. "Did it, or did it not happen?""Lucien, he was the one who kissed me, that has nothing to do with me. I was drowning and then... Everything happened so fast.""Why were you and Damon in the pool together in the first place?"She rolled her eyes at me in frustration. "Lucien, that was a mistake, or whatever that is. Nothing is going on between Damon and I!""It's hard to believe that!" I said, disappointed.I stepped back, shaking my head. I couldn’t believe what I’d just heard. Before I knew it, I was out of the room, the door shutting behind me with a thud that echoed down the hall. Her words kept on replaying in my head. The more I thought of it, the more my anger rose. I pushed the door of my room open and slammed it shut, harder than I meant to. The room felt like it was closing in on me,

Lucien’s POV“No, no, no...”“This can’t be true!”I mutter in disbelief as I continuously stare at the files before me. I told myself I needed to verify, make sure that Michelle was not lying to me. Make sure she wasn’t just trying to justify her evil.But it was all true.Everything matched, every part of the puzzle coming to further explain the bigger picture.If Natasha finds out about this...No, I can’t let her.It was around 3:16am but I was still in my office because for days, sleep never came. It was like I was now begging for it, so I decided that I would rather just use it to cover more of my work, and also do some secret researches that I didn’t want anyone to find out about.I truly signed this decree, I remember vividly, but this is really messed up, how did fate manage to bring us back together?This can’t be a coincidence, or is it?No Goddess please.This decree means that Natasha should equally be dead, like every other member of her family. But how am I expected to

Michelle’s POVNo matter how many nights I spent here, the air never got better. Still the same suffocating atmosphere. The walls were cracked, the roof half-collapsed in places, and moonlight slipped through some of the holes. Perfect.Dead places were always safest. No one would think to find me here. No one would even think humanity could survive it here.Michelle’s dead.That was the story now.And stories, when told well, had a way of becoming truth.My phone vibrated.I didn’t rush to answer. I already knew who it was, by the way.When I finally picked it up, I didn’t bother softening my voice. “Go on, what do you have?”Hadrek exhaled on the other end.“She has started her search,” he said.I leaned back against the wall, the cold penetrating through the fabric. “Natasha.”“Yes.”“How far?” I asked.“She knows Korah was her sister,” he replied. “She knows their mom fled with Korah during the war. She knows the maid took her in the chaos. She’s been digging through sealed record

Lucien’s POVI tried to tell myself it wasn’t about me.But the truth didn’t care what I told myself.Every line she presented to the Elders felt like an indictment. Every woman she spoke for sounded like an echo of her. And every silence she left where my name should have been was louder than any accusation ever could.She didn’t need to say Lucien.I heard it anyway.The Women who reasonated with her in the Kingdom praised her restraint. Her growth. Her vision. They whispered about how impressive she’d become.The blueprint she submitted earlier kept replaying in my mind through a dinner I barely tasted. By nightfall, I couldn’t hold back my restlessness.I went to her room.I didn’t knock.She was seated at the desk near the window, hair loose down her back, sleeves pushed up, fingers moving quickly across the keys of her laptop.She didn’t look up when I entered.“You’re busy,” I said.“Mmm,” she replied, eyes still locked on the screen.That sound... It was casual, dismissive eve

EPILOGUEDamon filled Natasha with wrong information about who she was and why Lucien had brought her to the Kingdom. Fuelled by anger, Natasha trains for months as she plans to take down Lucien.The plan is set in motion, and just like a bomb set on a timer, everything around Lucien begins to fall apart, one after the other.To avenge Michelle’s death, Louis Draven (Draven SNR) kidnaps Natasha and tries to kill her. This disrupts Michelle’s grand plan, but she immediately comes up with a new plan.Lucien arrives to save Natasha. But soon, everyone realises they were just a pawn in a bigger play. Michelle reveals herself, knowing that no one else was going to leave that warehouse alive.“The Dravens should have known that they were playing a dangerous game when they mounted the throne that was meant for my lineage.” Michelle started.It was a case that could be traced back to ancestors, and Michelle had carefully planned for years to turn the Dravens against themselves.And now, she ha
