Semua Bab A Forbidden Love: The Lycan Prince Hybrid Mate : Bab 21 - Bab 30

“What do you mean Liam and your boss are friends?” Isabella asked, frowning slightly. “I don’t know anything about that. Maybe it’s business-related. You know I don’t ask about his work. All I know is that he works in his family's big company.”“That was what I also thought,” I said, shrugging. “I was just asking.” I said and no matter how much I tried to brush it off, something about seeing Liam in Marcus’s office felt wrong, like a puzzle piece that didn’t fit no matter how hard I pushed.“Mm-hmm, now forget that and give me the main gist,” she said, shifting forward like she was ready to absorb every detail.So I started with my parents’ issue first, everything from the fight, to the divorce papers, to Mom finally deciding to leave the city for a while.“Now Mom has gone out of the city to clear her head,” I said quietly. “And honestly, I know she needs it. That man already did enough damage to her mental health.” Isabella reached out and squeezed my hand, not saying anything at fi

It has been one month since I started working at Lycaon Enterprise, and three weeks since Marcus and I finally stopped suppressing our feelings. Time doesn't wait for anyone, it keeps moving fast with every breath we take in and out. These weeks have been the most exciting, mysterious, dangerous, overwhelming, full-of-new-discovery moments of my life.But through it all, there is one thing I’m grateful for, and that is meeting Marcus. Even though he is one of the reasons these weeks have been so difficult, he is also the reason I enjoyed every single moment. Everyone already knows we are together, even though neither of us has said or announced anything officially. We just go with the flow. He picks me up from home and drops me back. We go on different lunch and dinner dates. The caring. The pampering. So many things I can’t even mention. He made me feel like one of the happiest people alive.Within these three weeks, we became best friends. We joke around. We became more comfortabl

Today is Sunday and it’s finally Zara’s birthday. Since morning, everything has been a whirlwind. We’ve barely even sat down because the decorators have been working nonstop on the rooftop. The moment I stepped outside and saw what they had done, I swear my mouth almost dropped. The place was already beautiful before, but now? Now it looked breathtaking. Elegant, classy, glowing, like something out of a luxury magazine. Even the air felt different up there.Right now, though, we’re in the spa room, lying on warm tables while two masseuses work on our backs. The whole house is fully equipped, gym, sauna, massage room, everything and today we are taking advantage of every single thing.“My body feels really relaxed, gosh, these past few days have been so stressful,” Zara said with a sleepy sigh.“Yeah, all this planning has really taken a toll on us,” another friend said from her table. “Planning a party is not easy at all.”“Yeah, but it’s also enjoyable,” I added. And it was. Even wi

MARCUS POV I stood up so fast the chair behind me nearly flipped. My heart was pounding so hard it almost drowned out my own thoughts. I felt like I couldn’t breathe, like the walls were closing in on me. I couldn’t lose her. Not Selena. Not after everything.“What did you find?” My voice came out too sharp, too desperate, but I didn’t care.He took a breath. “Physically, she is perfectly healthy. All tests are normal. No abnormalities in her vitals, no brain trauma, no blood issues, nothing that explains why she lost consciousness.”My heart sank. “Then why is she still unconscious?” Rylan whimpered inside me, a sound I had never heard from him in my entire life. It only made the dread in my chest heavier. If even Rylan was scared, then something was terribly wrong.The doctor hesitated. That never happened. My stomach tightened.“Well, that is the strange part,” he finally said. “While her physical body is stable, her internal energy is unstable.”Rylan froze inside me. “What do yo

MARCUS POVHere we are, finally arriving at the border of our empire. Once we cross this barrier, the territory outside is human land and other races, and everything inside belongs to us. It is already the evening of the second day, proof of how far and hidden our empire is from the human world. Our lands stretch across mountains and ancient forests, untouched, protected, and enchanted.There is an airport inside our territory too, built only for us, but planes coming from the outside world can never enter. The magic shielding our empire would tear them apart. So we landed outside, switched to our own transportation, and now we are driving through the silent stone arches that mark the beginning of Lycan lands.It has been almost a year since I last returned, but for shifters, a year is nothing. Our lifespans are long, our youth stretches far, and time rarely presses on us the way it presses on humans.But right now, none of that mattered.All I could think about.All that sat on my ch
