All Chapters of Lycan King's Rebel Bride : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

 Lucia I went straight to mom's room without using any of the main hallways. I didn't want either Alpha Herod or Mario to see that I was here. At least not yet. When I went to her room, I knocked on the door but there was no response at first. I tried again and there still wasn't one. She wasn't here. I tried to open her door but it didn't budge which confirmed it. There was only one other place she could be in, the kitchen. She loved cooking. I went through the less busy hallways as well to get to the kitchen. I didn't want to have any mistakes bumping into Alpha Herod. As I expected, I found her baking something whistling to herself. The cook, Maria, who knew me well and was close to me, spotted me first. Her mouth opened, she was about to speak in surprise but I quickly shushed her, placing a hand on my lips to indicate for her to stop.

 Lucia In a way, it meant he cared and somehow I liked that he did. My stupid heart began to beat a little faster and my eyes roamed his face. I shook my head, “You could have killed him though and as king you don't want your subjects to learn that you could just kill anyone for anything" I said. Besides the fact that Mario was wrong and deserved the beating, because I couldn't find it in me to pity him, the consequences would have been bad had Rhein killed him. They would lose their trust in him and I didn't want that. If he wasn't a great partner, one thing I learnt was that he was a good king. His face clouded with anger again but before it could explode, I held his hands, rubbing them softly as a way of placating him. He looked at me, his tense body untensing and sighed. “Well, I didn't kill him right now but it doesn't mean I can

 Lucia I opened the door and stepped out, Huda behind me. She bowed to greet him before leaving both of us alone. I took some time to look at him. I wanted to see what mood he was in and if he had dealt with the issue as best as he could and felt better. His face was serene, blank like this afternoon hadn't happened at all. He smiled when he took my hand and began to lead us to the lift. Once we were inside, he spoke to me, “You look beautiful again. Just as you always do" he said. I felt my cheeks turn red due to my blushing. I hated that he had his way of making me feel like this. With the butterflies and everything. "You don't look bad either yourself. You clean up pretty well,” I added my compliment because he did look well put together. The way he carried himself and what he wore, those two factors made him look like a very smart

 Lucia And it wasn't because someone had caught or stopped me. It was none of that, just a pull that turned me back around. I wanted to see both mom and Alpha Herod. It felt like the right thing to do even though I hadn't come here with their knowledge or permission. I couldn't hear any movement and I knew they were in their room. I wondered if maybe checking Mario's office as well would be worth it. Maybe the secret plan was somewhere there, who knew? I turned around and went towards his office. He had trusted me with so much so I knew the passwords to most of his devices. It wouldn't be difficult to access them. He didn't lock his office door because he believed he was beyond touching and that nobody would dare to go in without his permission. I stared at the door in intense dislike before murmuring, “Well, I'm coming in now Mario and wit

 Lucia A few days had gone by with me trying to hack into the files and app and nothing had changed, yet at least. It was so encrypted, I would need more. I would need at least two other people helping me to hold down certain aspects while I worked on hacking the rest of it. It was draining. I decided I would have to get help somehow. I couldn't just sit around and let the files stay without being used. Everyday that passed by, the allegations became stronger. Nobody except Andrew and Jason had left home in days. We were all back here just in case the media decided to hound us or appear suddenly. Rhein had been advised severally to give a press meet to clarify a few things but hadn't done that. He didn't want to have to explain himself. I supported that decision although from the tension between his father and him, his father did not agree with i
