Semua Bab The Lycan King And His Mate: Bab 11 - Bab 20

I didn't move, my eyes wide in disbelief. Ronan was kissing me. His mouth claimed mine exactly as I imagined he would. Dominant, ruthless, demanding. There was nothing gentle about him, nothing hesitant. He kissed like he was conquering. My heartbeat slammed against my ribs, wild and frantic. Then, to my horror… My body answered him, and a warmth spread through me, chasing away every coherent thought. My eyes fluttered shut as I kissed him back, gripping his shirt. He shoved his tongue in my mouth, exploring me with intensity. I matched his intensity without thinking, oh, to be dominated by him. I put my trembling hand against his chest to feel the beat of his heart; his heartbeat was just as fast as mine. Slowly, almost against my own will, my fingers slid upward, tracing the powerful muscles and feeling the warmth of his skin beneath them. A soft, helpless sound escaped me. "Ah…" The moment the moan reached his ears. Everything stopped. Ronan jerked away as if I had burned him.

Ronan POV My claws extended without noticing, and the glass in my hand shattered. My lycan paced and snarled beneath my skin, still furious at the memory of another man's hand around her waist. That human male dared to sneak into my pack and planned to kidnap my wife. The bastard even wrapped an arm around her waist. Rafe was going to rip that hand off her, but Josie had been traumatized enough. "Does the fucking human chancellor really want war with us again?" I asked. Jalen sighed and cupped my shoulder. "That man was drunk and reckless, not grounds to end our alliance with the humans for that," he reasoned. He is always the reasonable one. Always thinking before taking action, that was why we were a good team. "You need to tell the human chancellor of this. Next time, I'm sending the heads of any human who encroaches on my territory," I growled. "I will send the message." he gulped his drink. That man came here with hooligans because fucking Josie called him crying. From

Ronan POV The doctor’s examination felt endless. Every second I remained in this room was another second Josie stood outside waiting for me. Finally, he straightened and released a weary sigh. “Your Majesty… I’ve done every examination I could.” “And?” “There is nothing wrong with her.” “She fainted.” “Her pulse is normal. Her breathing is steady. Blood work shows nothing unusual.” He hesitated under my stare. “To be honest… she’s only asleep.” “You want me to believe that?!" I growled. He shrugged his shoulder casually, “Perhaps… she experienced a sudden fright. Stress can-” “Enough.” The doctor bowed and hurried from the room. I looked at Sadie lying peacefully against the pillows. She was only asleep, nothing more. My jaw tightened in thought. The moment I was expected to spend the afternoon with Josie, Sadie had collapsed. My mind drifted unwillingly to the past few weeks. The tears whenever Josie was mentioned, and the sharp remarks disguised as harmless jokes

Ronan Pov The words left my mouth before I could stop them, and everyone went silent. I looked around at my men, and none of them moved or spoke. Rafe stirred again within me. They had all heard it. I had called her my mate, not my wife or the human I was forced to marry, not the Luna I was obligated to protect. "Spread out and search every inch of this territory." They didn't move immediately, they were still watching me, their king who had spent weeks claiming he wanted nothing to do with the human woman and had just called her his mate. My claws dug into my palms. "Now," I ordered, and it snapped them out of their hesitation. Josie was really taking over my mind and body, and I needed to stop it before I fucked everything up. She was human, and I hated her like I did all her kind. They were traitors and couldn't be trusted. Suddenly, Rafe went still within me. He lifted his head, sniffing something. Then I caught it too. Her scent- she's closer. "She's close!" I growled I

Everyone was already gathered, drinking and chatting. The moment I stepped inside the room, everyone went quiet, and all eyes came to me. My breath shuddered. I wanted to turn back and leave, but instead I swallowed and held my head high. Ronan gazed at me, and I shivered under his watch. They moved over me, but there was something different this time, not hunger but relief. Like he was still convincing himself I was standing in front of him. "Ladies and gentlemen, the Luna Queen, Josephine Atwood," Gigi announced. There was a proud smile on her lovely face. One by one, the important delegates introduced themselves to me. I felt eyes on me, hot, and out of my eye, I saw Tobias and Sadie glaring daggers at me. I only smirked, and Sadie gasped, her expression turning dark. The human ambassador kissed my cheek in greeting, and a low growl sounded. I knew it well, it belonged to my dear husband. The ambassador murmured something I couldn't catch and excused himself before we could spe
