All Chapters of THE LYCAN KING’S STOLEN MATE.: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

THIRD PERSON'S POV“I'm not trying to be a party popper but, isn't it too early to get our hopes up?”“Yes, you're right, Your Grace. If it's okay with you, Alpha, can I see her?”Kairen hesitated. “I haven't even told her about you yet. Wouldn't she misunderstand?”Caelys stared at Valios before looking at the King again. He was very different from the last time she met him.She sighed and gave him a smile. “I'll explain it to her, so don't worry, Your Majesty.”Kairen had sought out the help of the young priestess just to confirm whether Merilyn was his mate or not. Not that the answer would change the way he felt about her.He just wanted to know if it was a matter of a suppressed bond or not.He'd been hoping he could tell her beforehand and then bring in the priestess, but now all his plans had been thrown out the window.Kairen led Caelys to his bedroom, where Merilyn was still deep asleep. Valios followed behind. Whatever this second prophecy was, neither of them knew if it wa

MERILYNOkay, so maybe Kairen did manage to distract me from demanding answers, but that didn't mean the question or the curiosity suddenly evaporated from my mind.Now, I was even more curious. If he wouldn't tell me what was bothering him, how would I help him?I promised to love him, and that also included carrying his burdens, to lighten the weight on his shoulders, but I was starting to realize Kairen was more closed off than I thought, always wanting to handle his problems alone.Sighing for the umpteenth time, I rounded the corner and came to a slow halt as I saw Beta Valios walking ahead. Then a thought suddenly occurred to me.I grabbed the sides of my gown and hurried after him. If the Alpha won't talk, his best friend should.“Beta Valios!” I called out to him, waving when he turned around. He stopped, staring at me as I ran up to meet him. I dropped my gown as I stood in front of him.“Merilyn, how nice to see you again. Is everything okay?” he asked, his soft green eyes s

MERILYN“I don't think you'd come.” Lorelei wore a small smile, one that didn't reach her eyes. Her fingers faintly held the handle of the tea cup, raising the edge of the cup to her red-coated lips.“What do you want?”She took a small sip, lowering the china cup back onto its saucer. “Have a seat, at least. I invited you here to have tea with me.”When I didn't sit, she grinned. “Don't worry. I won't think of poisoning you right now. It'll be too public.”“So you do want to poison me,” I stated, pulling out the empty chair and sitting on it.“No, I'm just saying. Besides, I don't think I have to go to such an extreme level.” She took an empty cup, poured in two spoons of tea powder before adding the boiled water, some sugar, and cream.The maid from earlier came forward, took the cup of tea from her, and placed it on the saucer in front of me.I stared at the steaming cup and looked back at her.“I heard some rumors, and I was hoping you'd deny them. People have been going around c

MERILYN“My lady!” Gwen’s voice rang through the walls of my bedroom. “My lady!!”I turned as I heard her footsteps approaching. Jiggling in her hands were many shopping bags. She dropped them on the bedside table and curtsied.“His…” she heaved, trying to catch her breath, “His Majesty sent this…”I'd already reached for the box and began looking through it.“…sent this for your date.”My eyes lit up, a grin spreading over my face as I pulled out the dresses he bought, the shoes and makeup.Giggling like a little child, I couldn't help but grab the dresses and hold them to my body, checking them out in the mirror.It's been three days since the nightmare incident. Kairen had sent a message to the priestess, and he told me she wouldn't be available until a few months later.Heira made me herbal concoctions that would help me sleep better. They worked, but what neither of them knew was that the nightmares never came frequently.But thanks to the concoctions, I didn't sleep better nowad

MERILYN“Where are we going?” I asked, staring at the world drifting past us in a blur.Kairen’s thumb brushed over the back of my palm, sending me a smile. “Somewhere I know you'll enjoy.”Ever since we left the palace gates, Kairen’s hand hadn't left mine for even a moment. He drove through the busy road with one hand and touched me with the other.Little innocent touches that made my heart flutter.“How many cars do you have?” I asked out of nowhere.“That's an odd question. Why?”I chuckled. “Just curious,” I said as I admired the open-roof car, loving the feeling of the wind on my skin.It's almost as if he drove a different car every other day.Kairen shrugged. “I don't know. Too many to count? Each one has its purpose. Do you want one?”I stared at him with an arched brow. “You made me leave my car behind when you abducted me from my hotel.”“Ah.” He nodded, with a chuckle. “I forgot. Do you think your husband found it?”“Maybe, maybe not,” I said absentmindedly as I brushed my
