Semua Bab The Lycan Princess' Revenge : Bab 61 - Bab 70

Lucianne~One could have been able to cut the tension at the table with a blunt knife. That was how thick it was. Just like at the parlour a few minutes ago, everyone pretended to be focused on everything else but on each other. But that could not have been further from the case. Not a sound could be heard, except for cutlery. Even the sound of breathing was tuned out that it was like everybody had held their breath. I nervously glanced around at everyone but, for the first time, little attention was on me. This time the attention was on someone else-Jameson. But if Jameson noticed the scrutiny of everyone at the table, he did not show it. He looked glad to eat even when the food tasted like ash on my tongue. He was devouring and savouring every single bite. It was weird. He was acting like he had not eaten well in a minute. There were other things that I noticed, like the way his cheeks were sunken in and there was a shadow under his eyes, as though he had not been sleeping well. E

Raphael~"She is running an alarmingly high fever, and it seems like nothing is helping," the delta reported to me as I watched Lucianne murmur words in her sleep. She had her brows scrunched up in agony, and her body was dripping with sweat. She looked like she was having a horrible nightmare."What does that fucking mean? Nothing is helping?" I barked, harsher than I had intended.Logan clasped my shoulder. "You have to calm down. The healer is not at fault."I faltered. Of course, the healer was not at fault. I was. I was the one who kept placing her at the precipice of death. I ran my hand through my hair, breathing deeply through my nose, trying to keep myself from snapping like an agitated fool. "Tell me exactly what is going on with her," I asked the delta in a calmer tone."She has been given everything that could relieve her of whatever pain she is going through, but it has had no effect. It is not her body that is in pain, Alpha. It is her mind," I gulped."With what happen

Raphael~It was like a dream, one that had seemed unattainable. I could not bring myself to let her go. She froze in my arms, as if she was shocked. I did not let her go, partly out of relief and partly out of fear that it was truly a dream."Lucianne..." I whispered, emotion choking me so that I could barely speak.She said nothing.I heard the sound of the door to the infirmary opening and a gasp."Lucianne?!" Jules ran forward as I reluctantly let her go. It was her turn.She cradled Lucianne's face, her eyes searching, whether from disbelief or from a desperate need to confirm that Lucianne was really there, alive and breathing. I could see the conflict in Jules’s eyes—the hope and fear warring within her as she tried to make sense of this impossible moment.Lucianne blinked, her expression still dazed, as if she was struggling to fully return to the present. The weight of whatever she had been through clung to her, a shadow that I could feel even without knowing the details.“Luc

Lucianne~"We will be married as soon as possible," I stated with little emotion. The silence that followed weighed a ton, settling heavily on everyone like a thick shroud.I did not need to raise my head to see the shock plastered on all of their faces. I drummed my finger on the mahogany table as I waited for their reaction."Dear..." My father spoke up first, a slight tremor in his voice. I raised my head so our eyes met. Something akin to sadness crossed over his face at the sight of my neutral expression. It must have been cold, though it had not been my intention, but I had to make them understand that there was no stopping. We had wasted time, energy, and resources only for us to have the Silent Reaper and his henchmen in our clutches. It was simply not enough."Yes, Father," I answered."Are you sure? You woke up just yesterday," he said, his concern plain in the sweat forming on his brow. The last thing I wanted was for him to worry. He had lost weight, and a lot of it. The l

Raphael~I watched her crumble, her face in her hands as she held back tears. I knew Lucianne more than she could ever know. Maybe I knew her too late in this saga, but I knew her now, and I could see through the determination in her gaze that she was holding on by a thread.My instincts screamed at me to reach out, to pull her into my arms and whisper the apologies that would never be enough. But I stayed rooted in place, a coward in the face of my own feelings. What good would my words do now? I had failed her, not once, but repeatedly, each failure a dagger to my chest.I recalled how I had been so cruel to her, acting as if I had been the only one who lost everything. In my stupidity, I had ripped one more thing away from myself. The look Jules gave me right after Reiner escaped my grasp the first time haunted my memory, and the words scorched my soul."You are the second man in her life who has failed her."The truth of that statement hit me like a sledgehammer. I wasn’t just any
