All Chapters of The Lycan King's Secret Heirs : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Daisy A part of me had thought that the council was only pulling my legs when they said the next trial started immediately, but apparently, they weren't. Barely one hour after our little discussion, I was being escorted out of the palace with guards by my side. Without Caspian's knowledge by the way. Last time I checked, he was out for some meeting, and no matter how much I insisted, I wasn't able to get through to him.Yeah, convincing. By the time the carriage stopped outside the venue, I was fairly certain I was going to be sick, not because the building wasn't beautiful.It was. The estate rose from the darkness like something out of a painting, every window glowing gold beneath the evening sky while music drifted faintly through the open entrance.It was elegant, expensive and fucking terrifying. My fingers tightened around the small clutch resting in my lap.I looked down at them and they were still shaking.Wonderful. The council had somehow managed to ruin elegant buildi

Daisy Every single alarm bell in my head was screaming at me to pull away. He was lying to me, keeping secrets, and trying to handle me like a piece of property he could protect by keeping in the dark. I should have shoved his chest, I should have screamed at him. Instead, my hands moved entirely on their own, my fingers wrapping tightly around the warm, thick column of his neck, and pulling him down harder against me as I parted my lips and aggressively deepened the kiss.A dark, gravelly vibration rolled through Caspian’s chest, his tongue instantly thrusting deep into my mouth, tangling with mine in a bruising, desperate rhythm. He tasted like pure possessiveness, and it sent a sudden, white hot spike of heat straight between my thighs.Another groan slid past him as he tore his lips an inch away from mine, both of us panting heavily, his bloodshot eyes boring directly into my soul. “You’re supposed to be mad at me, princess,” he rasped filthily, his thumbs digging into my jaw

Daisy The waiting was worse than the trial.That was the thought that kept repeating in my head as I sat alone in our room, staring at absolutely nothing while my mind imagined every possible disaster.Caspian had left furious, not angry, but furious and was a difference.Anger burned quickly. It exploded and disappeared, while fury was quiet.Fury was deliberate, fury walked into a room, smiled politely, and made everyone realize too late that they should have been afraid.And considering he had gone to speak with the very people responsible for my trials, I wasn't entirely convinced the council chamber was still standing.I was beginning to consider sending someone to check when the door finally opened.My body reacted immediately and I stood. "Caspian." The name left me in relief, but the feeling died almost as quickly as it arrived, because something was wrong.Not because he was angry. I knew what his anger looked like.His eyes would be dark, his shoulders would be tense. Hi

Daisy The moment the guard said Caspian was going to do something bad, I ran. I didn't ask permission.I didn't wait for the council to dismiss me and I didn't care that five of the most powerful people in the room were staring after me.For once, they could wait.My feet pounded against the marble floors as I hurried through the corridors, my heartbeat matching every frantic step.Something had happened.Something had happened while I was sitting in that chamber arguing over families and agreements and proving I could make impossible choices.Something involving me. I just knew it.I could feel it."Wait." The guard struggled to keep pace behind me. "My lady, please slow down.""What happened?" I asked and the silence that greeted me only made my chest tighten. "What happened?""My lady…" I spun around so suddenly he almost crashed into me."Tell me." My voice echoed through the hallway and several servants stopped moving.A few lowered their heads immediately and if there was anyth

Daisy The walk back to Caspian's study felt different. Not easier, because nothing about today had been easy, not one thing. The old me would have walked back into that room terrified of what decision he had made.The old me would have pleaded.“Please don't do this.” I could already imagine the words playing out in my head. “Please don't hurt him.Please let this go.”But the girl who had sat in front of the council only an hour ago and made a decision knowing someone would hate her for it understood something now.Sometimes, you didn't get the luxury of choosing between good and bad.Sometimes, you chose between two terrible things and carried the consequences afterward, and I was tired of being the only person in my own life who wasn't trusted with the truth.So when I pushed open the study doors again, I did not beg. Caspian was exactly where I had left him.He was still near the window, silent and dangerous like some mafioso on the verge of murdering someone. His eyes moved t
