Semua Bab VENGEFUL TIES: Bonds formed from Revenge : Bab 121 - Bab 129

LUCIAN'S POV “This is really frustrating.” Rowan barged into my study. “How are we supposed to find someone we don't even recognise?” I was standing by my window, staring outside. A sigh escaped my lips as I turned to him. “I'm not sure what to do anymore.”“I'm very pissed at this whole situation,” he continued. “She could even be in front of us and we won't know it's her because we never got to see what she looks like. We only knew her with Elira's face.”“So what do we do? Give up?” My eyes bored into his. “Caius is still under her control. We have no idea what she might make him do. I have to kill one of them to break the bond and it's definitely not my brother.”He sat down in front of my desk. “I understand you, Prince Lucian. But there's no hope in finding the witch since we don't know what she looks like and if Caius remains in this state, the only solution is for you to take the throne and lead the people of Lunaroria.”“No, I can't let that happen.” I shook my head. “Caius

SELENA'S POVAs soon as we alighted from the plane in Lunaroria airport, the only thing running through my mind was seeing Caius.Though I was still battling with the guilt of kissing Lucian and I didn't know if I would have the courage to tell Caius the truth.I shook my head as I sat in car with Darcy while the priestess was in another car behind ours. I should focus on Caius first. He must have had a hard time taking care of the situation in Lunaroria.My mind would only be calm when I see that he's okay.The car stopped at the main entrance of the palace and I didn't wait before opening the door and stepping out.I ignored the guards and servants greeting me as I rushed inside."Selena, wait," Darcy's voice reached my ears but I didn't stop.Rowan was walking toward me as soon as I crossed the threshold. “Selena, be careful. You shouldn't be running like that in your condition.” “Where's Caius? Is he okay?” I asked as I stopped in front of him. “I need to see him.”“Selena, relax

LUCIAN'S POVI stormed up the stairs, my blood boiling and my fists clenched at my sides.To say I was pissed was an understatement but I couldn't bring myself to be angry at her. It wasn't her fault that she lost her memory and doesn't remember me. It was a result of my carelessness and I was suffering the consequences.I was so lost in my thoughts that I almost collided with Xavier as he rounded the corner."Lucian." He stopped, taking in my expression. "What happened? You look like you're about to kill someone.""It's Selena's." I breathed heavily. "She's back and she's demanding to see Caius. She won't listen to anyone."Xavier's brow furrowed. "Didn't you say you would explain everything to her?""I was planning to but she doesn't want to hear anything from me." I ran a hand through my hair, tugging at the roots. "Ever since the kiss, she's been avoiding me like I'm a plague. I'm her mate for God's sake. Why did she have to remember only Caius?” I raised my voice.Xavier was quie

LUCIAN'S POVI stormed down the corridor, my vision red with rage. My fists were clenched so tight my nails bit into my palms. Every step I took echoed off the stone walls like a drumbeat of fury.I couldn't believe she looked me in the eyes and chose him.She believes every lie he fed her."Lucian! Lucian, wait!"Xavier's voice followed me, but I didn't slow down. I didn't want to hear anything. I just wanted to get as far away from that room as possible."Lucian, stop!"His hand grabbed my arm, yanking me to a halt. I spun around, my wolf surging to the surface."This is your fault!" I shouted, my voice cracking. "You suggested this! You said Caius would tell her the truth! You convinced me to trust him!"Xavier's face went pale. "Lucian, I didn't know…""You knew! You knew what he was capable of! You knew he would never do anything that would benefit me! But you insisted, and now Selena thinks I'm the villain!" I shoved him back, my chest heaving. "She hates me, Xavier. She looked

LUCIAN'S POVThe door to Elira's chambers creaked open, and I stepped aside to let the Priestess enter first.Her sharp eyes scanned the environment with a small satchel over her shoulder as she walked in.I stood by the door, watching her trace her fingers in the air, her lips moving in a low chant I couldn't quite hear and the temperature in the room seemed to drop.After a long moment, she turned to me. "This place is filled with dark magic," she said, her voice calm but serious. I nodded, keeping my face neutral. "I suspected as much."She continued her walk, sprinkling water from a small vial as she went. The water sizzled when it touched certain spots, evaporating into thin wisps of smoke.I kept a close watch on her, waiting for when she would notice the painting. After some moments, she stopped beside the bed and stared at the painting. "The dark magic is thickest here," she said, gesturing toward the painting. "More powerful than anywhere else in the room. It's more focused
