Semua Bab MARKED BY THE ALPHA'S ROYAL BLOOD : Bab 71 - Bab 80

Alpha Alfonso’s POVShe leaves. I feel my heart breakI run my hands through my hair and try to think. An hour ago, I was in control. In charge. Right now, I can barely even control my emotions properly The kiss. That was when everything started going south I think back to what happened before Danika walked in. Nubian had come to my room uninvited, as usual. She does this sometimes, just shows up with stupid excuses to back it up. Like being betrothed gives her some kind of free pass to invade my space. She was going to talk about some public event. Some gathering where she wanted us to appear together as a "couple." I hated the way she made it sound. We are no Bonnie and Clyde power couple, we are just people living together and tolerating each other. I am trapped, but she feels she is not. She seemed to be enjoying the betrothed more than necessary. Sometimes I think to myself if she was the one that suggested to her father to be betrothed to me.Nubian seems to have chosen thi

Lucan’s POV I raise up my hand but I can feel my heart pounding so hard. My throat is so dry that when I swallow it hurts. I pause for a minute, contemplating if I am going to continue as I have planned. I whisper the words that I memorised softly just to be sure that I still got it in my head. Right now, I think I hear noises from inside. Wait. I lean closer to the door, to make sure that I am actually hearing correctly. But one moment I am hearing noises, the other I am not hearing anything. It is hard. I admit to myself that it is hard to face Alfonso. I know that one day I will conquer him, and I will be greater than him. But I am not yet ready. Right now, I wish that the ground would just open and swallow me. But checking whether Danika is here is very necessary. One day I will conquer Alfonso and that day will be very great. ButToday is not that great day I allow my hand to descend on the door. My heart gives a great leap. I am knocking so feebly, quietly, so that I will not

Lucan’s POV"You fool!" I scream at him. "You worthless idiot! You are a bastard! I would have cut off your balls, but you are castrated already! bastard! How dare you talk to me like that!"The other guards shift beside us nervously, some already shifting their weight from leg to leg. It is obviously a tensed up situation, but nobody moves to help me. Nobody tells the chief guard to shut up. It is like they fear the both of us-me and the chief guard - but they fear the chief guard more. They just stand there watchingI had told Elaina that I wanted to be crowned immediately, it was her idea that I wait a while so that it looks as if I am mourning Holland. Now see what it has caused? This bastard does not respect me!"I am the alpha of this pack!" I shout. "I am your leader! You will respect me!"The chief guard shakes his head. "You killed Alpha Holland. You are just a coward and a mother. I am sure that you think nobody knows, but everybody knows"“ I don’t care if anybody knows!” I

Lucan’s POVThey look in my direction and see my beaten face. I can swear that I see them smile in victory before they roll their eyes and kiss their teeth to make a very loud sighing sound. They continue walking in as if nobody just said anything to them. They do not even discuss about me, they just move.“You must help your alpha this minute!” I try to put fury in my voice.They still act like nobody is saying anything. They keep moving, not uttering a word to me “Your aloha is talking!” I said again, just called their attention But one of the women just looks at me and she starts laughing. I know her. She is Lady Marie, the woman who used to deliver groceries to my mother. My family, I’ve given her a life, a job and yet she sees me and refuses to help me? She has always been so ungrateful. I knew she didn’t like me, but I never knew that she would look at me in my vulnerable state and just walk away. “You look so bad. Maybe your weakness, cowardice and cruelty is finally catchin

Lucan’s POVThe person lying down there is a woman. As I point my flashlight closer to her face, I see herIt's Elaina. My mother.The way she says my name is not very clear. Her voice sounds broken and weak. Like her throat is trapped in a kind of underworld. But as she makes the sound, I know that it is my name that she is calling. “Lucan,” her voice sounds so strange as she calls my name again. It makes me wonder what happened. Even though she is weak, something is wrong with her voice. Something that I cannot figure outImmediately I see her, I forget that I am weak. I forget that I am tired and my own body is screaming for help too. I don’t know where I find the strength. I rush towards her and I bend to feel her in my arms, scared that she would die and this will be the last moment of us together I forget my pain for the time being, and I hold my mother in my armsHow is this possible? I had personally made sure that my mother was locked up in her room because she kept throwing
