Semua Bab The Lycan King Stolen Heirs: Bab 21 - Bab 30

IrinaIf I hadn’t already perceived his scent on the pillow,on my body and the weight of him, which had pressed my bed down, I would have said it was a fever dream.The king was here last night, holding me while I slept.The feeling this realization brought to my heart was unreal. I was both lost for words and full of things to say. Like, why?Our last real encounter, he had yelled at me and told me to get out and that I was grounded, and then he came to my bed. Does this mean he now feels I am worth sharing a bed with?He accepted me.My mate accepted me!Overwhelmed by joy, I stood from my bed and twirled around in the room. I wanted to scream, to leap and dance.Maybe my wolf would see this and she would come back to me. The possibilities were insane. With Xander’s rejection and the king’s acceptance, I could go back to being normal.Or close to it.I didn’t want to wait for Greta to bring my clothes before I entered the bathroom, took my bath, and toweled myself dry.I was going t

Irina.My day was officially ruined, and I didn't even feel the lightest urge to stand. I just wanted to sit there and cry, but I felt too tired to even do that.Dragging my heavy body off the dining seat, I moved toward the west wing of the palace where Greta had told me to meet her, but as I approached her work spot, she wasn't there.Instead, I saw the other palace workers huddled together, talking excitedly among themselves. The moment they saw me coming through, they straightened up like I had torn their conversation apart."Don't do that, I just came to see Greta.""Good morning, my lady." One of the helpers said with an exaggerated smile and a bow."Good morning," I responded, then took the closest seat I could find and slumped into it. I might have had the most terrible morning, but bailing on Greta for the second time would be bad."Are you alright? You don't look so good." Another lady came forward. "I could call the pack doctors if you need them.""Oh I am fine, just a bad

IrinaI got on my knees just as she said, and it only made it harder. My knees started to ache even a minute into it. I pushed my head forward while trying to move with the rhythm.Two minutes in, my jaw started to hurt.“I can’t do it anymore, Greta.”“Oh no, no, try a little bit more.” She bobbed my head forward, and for the first time I choked, gagged, and spat the vegetable onto the floor.“I am done. I don’t want to do it, it’s too stressful.” Pushing myself up, I went back to the bed, annoyed that I was even trying.“This won’t make me pregnant, would it? Then I don’t want it anymore. Just teach me something less stressful. I am tired.”“Well, you asked, and that’s what I am doing. But if you know it won’t result in pregnancy, it might increase intimacy, but oh well.” She picked up the cucumber and shoved it back into the bag.“I will leave this here in case you change your mind.”“I won’t, trust me. I am not that suicidal, and I don’t think I want to do it anymore. Just leave.”

IrinaWithout that locket, my mood went sour, and I couldn’t leave the palace, so like a useless being, I sat by the window, watching the wind dance with the grass and the birds chirping.All I could think about was a life where I wouldn’t have to feel like this anymore.A life without packs and hierarchy, and I found comfort in that thought for the entire afternoon. I missed lunch and hoped to miss dinner too if it meant I wouldn’t be sitting with anyone and trying to pretend I liked being there.My door opened behind me. At first I thought it was Greta trying to prepare me for dinner.“I won’t be attending dinner, if it’s possible I would like to skip breakfast.” I said, but when she didn’t answer, I turned and I saw Prince Alden sitting on my bed.His presence both surprised and angered me. “Are you here to sweet talk me or lure me to your bed?” I asked.He didn’t raise his head, just kept looking at his hand. That was when I noticed he wasn’t particularly looking like himself, rat

IrinaI never had a brother.I never thought I would ever find one either, and the prince just offered to be one, and I didn’t know how to feel about it, what to say. Should I fall on my knees and thank him for being so nice?“Say it.” He said.“Say what?”“Call me your brother.” He added, and my heart skittered.“Brother Alden.” I said, teasing the words as they came out. My cheek fluttered with heat, and I felt the thrill down to my toes.“Now that is better. With this newly found knowledge, I just want to tell you that Amelia isn’t just a regular woman, she’s ruthless and she is possessive over my brother. They are like a pair. And she’s back I don’t know how long but she doesn’t seem like she’s going anytime soon.” He said.I thought about how much they were in sync on the table. “They dated?” I asked, like Greta hadn’t already told me about her.She’s trouble, I know.But who am I to think I deserve anything more?“More than dated, they were supposed to get married.”Of course.“
