All Chapters of The Lycan King’s Arranged Bride: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Everything went silent, and slowly, terrifyingly slowly, the enormous white lycan turned toward us. My breath caught in my throat; Ronan looked monstrous and violent. His massive body trembled with barely restrained fury, muscles quivering beneath fur. He looked at me, and then the knife pressed against my throat. His gaze darkened with pure rage.“He actually stopped,” the rogue said, shocked. The blade dug deeper into my skin, and I felt warm blood trickle down my neck. A low growl rumbled from Ronan’s chest, and the rogues glanced at each other with unease.“Now kneel,” the rogue leader ordered, but my husband didn't move, and he cautiously started to approach. “I said kneel, or I'll kill her!” he growled. Ronan would never kneel, he is the lycan king, and kings don't bow to anyone. It's either he'd let them kill me or tear them all apart, but he did something I didn't expect. Ronan didn’t move, and every muscle in his enormous body locked. The forest seemed to hold its breath.

Ronan POV When a female goes into heat, the discomfort continues until she has mated and conceived. The mating process can take several hours, and the likelihood of pregnancy is quite high. Josie lay in bed, breathless and restless, while a female doctor examined her. The older doctor appeared concerned. "Explain". She glanced toward Josie, who lay there, still breathing unevenly and muttering incoherent sentences. "She's in heat." "Humans don't experience heat," I replied. Humans didn't go into heat, they simply didn't, as it was a condition reserved for lycans… So why was my human wife burning alive? "They don't," the doctor stated, folding her arms. "Not unless something extraordinary is happening." My jaw clenched as I recalled the bond I felt with Josie in the woods. Everything about this was unnatural, and it was driving me crazy. Where was this bond coming from? "A bond." "I believe so," she said, nodding slowly. "This strange bond is forcing her body to adapt t

Josie POV The first thing I became aware of when I woke up was the warmth. It's not the unbearable fire that had consumed me before. A different warmth. It was steady and safe. My lashes fluttered, and I opened my eyes slowly, stretching. Every muscle ached in the sweetest, strangest way, and for a second, I didn't remember what happened, but then the memories crashed into me, and I gasped. The bath, Ronan's hands on my hot skin, cooling and gentle. His voice and kisses. My cheeks burned, and I buried my face beneath the sheets. I was freaking naked, too! What did I do? I practically forced him to be with me. I felt horrified in this moment. Did he hate me? But it wasn't my fault; I was just too horny, it hurt. Every word Ronan whispered, his kiss was embedded in my head. I wanted the ground to open and swallow me whole. My heart stopped when I felt movement in the room, and I removed the blanket from my face and slowly sat up. Ronan. He was already dressed in dark trousers and a

Ronan POV“There is someone I want you to meet.”I gritted my teeth. I knew it was only a matter of time; Flora hadn't told me about her boyfriend, but I assumed she would sooner or later. The thought alone made every protective instinct rise.“Who?” I asked even though I already knew.“My boyfriend.”I stared at her.“You have a boyfriend?”She rolled her eyes. "Don't act dumb. I know Josie or Grandma told you about it." They did, but I wasn't going to rat out my sources, so I didn't confirm.“How long?”“A few months.”“Why hasn't he been introduced formally to us?” I gasped exaggeratedly. She shrugged. “I just wanted to be sure.”I nodded and took another sip of my drink, forcing myself to swallow.“Are you sure now?”Her eyes brightened "Yes! And he's ready to meet all of you now." "When?"“Next week.”"Please don't be too mean to him. Sometimes he says or does quirky things." "He's a weirdo?" "He's so cuteeeeeee..." I could see hearts in her eyes, and I shook my head; there w

Josie POVI found Liam in the library hallway, sitting on the floor with a book open in his lap. Since coming to the castle, he had discovered the library and decided it was his favorite place.“Liam?” I called, and his head lifted toward me; his eyes lit up.“Jo!”He jumped up, the book nearly falling from his hands.“I found this. It has stories and pictures of cartoons fighting.”“A comic book," I told him.He nodded excitedly. "Yes, a comic.""And I found a book full of Lycan kings, and Ronan was there too." He ran to the shelf and picked it out, showing me a picture of Ronan being crowned as king. In the picture, Ronan looked sad, though.“Was Ronan always a king?” Liam asked, with a frown on his face. “No.”“What was he before?”I smiled softly.“He was a boy just like you." I touched his nose, and he giggled, nodding. Before I could say anything else, a voice interrupted.“Liam.”The smile disappeared from his face, and I turned to see Sadie standing at the entrance.“Hello, M
