Semua Bab Return Of The Lost Lycan Princess: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Alexander stared at Emilia for a few seconds, his expression raw and vulnerable in a way she'd never seen before. The silence between them stretched, heavy with unspoken words and years of accumulated hurt. Then, as if his body was moving of its own accord, his hands reached out to hold her.His fingers found hers first, warm and slightly trembling as they wrapped around her smaller hands. The touch was gentle, almost hesitant, like he was afraid she might pull away or disappear if he gripped too tightly. His thumbs brushed across her knuckles in a gesture that was both comforting and pleading."The only thing I have ever wanted is to be with you, Emilia," Alexander said, his voice breaking on her name.As he spoke, a single tear dropped from his eye, rolling slowly down his cheek. It caught the chandelier light as it fell, glistening like a diamond before disappearing into the collar of his ruined shirt. Emilia paused, her breath catching in her throat. She stared into his eyes, rea

Tired of the party and its endless drama, Emilia walked through the palace corridors with her silver dress trailing behind her. The sounds of the ballroom gradually faded as she moved deeper into the private wing of the palace, the music and conversation becoming a distant murmur that barely reached her ears. Her feet ached from standing in heels for so long, and her face felt tight from the dried tears that had streaked down her cheeks.She needed space. Needed quiet. Needed somewhere she could breathe without feeling like the walls were closing in on her. Her mind was still reeling from the confrontation with Alexander, from Mia's cruel words, from the lie she'd told about losing the baby. Her hand moved unconsciously to her stomach, a protective gesture that was becoming automatic.The study was at the end of a long hallway lined with portraits of past lycan kings and queens. Emilia had been in there once before, a few days ago when Mason had shown her around the palace. This was h

A soft chuckle escaped her lips, the sound light and dismissive. She shook her head slightly, a small smile playing at the corners of her mouth as she looked at Caleb's serious face."No one worth mentioning," Emilia replied, her voice carrying just the right amount of casual indifference.She was proud of how steady her voice sounded, how unbothered she managed to appear even though her heart was still aching from the confrontation in the ballroom. Alexander wasn't worth mentioning, she told herself. Not to this stranger, not in this moment. Whatever had been between them was over, dead and buried along with the baby she'd claimed to have lost.Caleb's expression shifted, understanding dawning in his eyes. His jaw tightened slightly, and a look of disgust crossed his features so briefly that Emilia almost missed it. When he spoke again, his tone was matter of fact, like he was stating an obvious truth."Got it. A real dickhead then," Caleb said.The crude word sounded almost funny co

"The new chief healer starts today and I heard she's super young," Jane said, her voice carrying clearly down the hospital corridor despite her attempt to whisper.She was a young nurse, probably in her mid twenties, with blonde hair pulled back into a practical ponytail and scrubs that looked slightly too big for her thin frame. She leaned against the nurses' station, one hip cocked, arms crossed over her chest in a posture of casual judgment."Thirty bucks says she's all looks and no skills," Jane continued, her tone dripping with skepticism.She turned to look at her companion, eyebrows raised in that knowing way people have when they're absolutely certain they're right about something. The fluorescent lights overhead cast harsh shadows across her face, emphasizing the slight sneer on her lips.The hospital's main entrance was just visible from where they stood. Morning sunlight streamed through the glass doors, creating a bright rectangle on the polished linoleum floor. A few earl

Emilia paused at the door of her new office for a brief second, her hand resting on the cool metal of the doorknob. She could feel her heart beating slightly faster than normal, a flutter of anticipation mixed with nervous energy that made her fingers tremble just a little. This was it. Her office. Her own space in a place where she would be working, helping people, and using her newly found abilities for something meaningful.Taking a deep breath, she turned the knob and stepped her foot into the office. The door swung open smoothly, well oiled hinges making no sound. As she crossed the threshold, Emilia felt a small surge of accomplishment, of pride in what she'd achieved. It had only been three nights ago when Caleb had told her about the job opportunity, his voice warm and encouraging as he'd explained about the hospital network and the position that needed filling.She had received a call the very next day, a Saturday, she'd spent anxiously checking her phone every five minutes.
