All Chapters of The Lycan King’s Arranged Bride: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Ronan POV I had attended many important dinners, yet somehow my sister introducing her boyfriend made me feel more prepared for a battle than for a meal. Flora had been impossible to deal with all afternoon. "Try to be nice." "I am always nice." I gritted my teeth, and she stared at me, deadpan. "No, you're not. You literally killed someone in this very room last year," she reminded me, and I smirked. Alpha Arthur from the Yellow Moon pack. "He belittled Autumn and insulted our pack." I glanced around the room again; my wife wasn't back yet. After we left the headmistress's office, we separated and went back to our work, we didn't speak again. Rafe was desperate to see her again, as always. But she was taking her sweet time to come here. Someone coughed near me, and I glanced that way; Sadie was staring at me, her eyes sad. After what she did in the library, I've been keeping a distance from her. "Let me introduce you..." my sister said, rolling her eyes and pulling me aw

Josie POV I couldn't sleep tonight, my mind refused to stop replaying the way Ronan had looked at me during dinner. We were in the same house, married, yet I missed him. I slipped quietly into the hallway and went to Liam's room. As I reached closer, voices drifted toward me. At first, I panicked until I recognized Ronan's voice. Liam's bedroom door was slightly open, a thin strip of light spilling into the corridor. I knew I should leave instead, I stood there. "I promise." Ronan's voice was quiet and gentle. I'd never heard him sound like that. There was another long silence before I heard the mattress shift. When Ronan finally stepped out of the room, he closed the door with such care it barely made a sound. He turned, and found me standing there. For a heartbeat, neither of us spoke, our gaze locked. His expression didn't change, but something softened in his eyes. "How long have you been standing there?" "Long enough." A faint crease appeared between his brows. "

Josie POVI was home, it should feel safe, and for a moment it did, but when my father asked if we could talk, it didn't feel safe anymore. My heart was pounding, and my nerves were going to make me throw up. Why was I feeling this way? This is why I was here, to find answers. I needed to know if my father was involved in the death of lycans those years ago, I had to in order to know how my relationship with Ronan would carry on.For several minutes we didn't speak, just enjoying the view of the property. “Tell me what happened.” My voice came out as a whisper. His eyes found me, they were soft but exhausted. My father had changed in the few months I was away. His eyes were always sharp and stern, but now they were gentle.“Josie.”“Please,” I begged, voice softened.“I need to know.”For a moment, he looked away, and I got scared. My father was not a man who avoided difficult conversations.“You want to know about the treaty.”I swallowed and nodded.“The day the Lycan King and Quee

Josie POV I struggled to breathe, I was too close to him. Ronan was staring at me, his gaze not filled with anger but rather something gentler, which unsettled me after what I had learned. I lowered my eyes and stood silently. "I'll be back." No one seemed to pay much attention, except for him. I felt his gaze follow me all the way to the door. I went outside, and the cool evening air enveloped me. I kept walking until I was beyond the property. The streetlights glowed around me, and it felt safe; this town had always felt familiar and secure.Earlier, my mother had mentioned something innocent happening that night, and somehow, my feet led me there. I hadn’t consciously planned to go, it just happened. The church bells rang, causing my heart to stop. The chapel doors opened, and cheers erupted as a bride stepped outside, laughing. And beside her...Was my fiancé, Jonathan.Time seemed to freeze for me. I knew he was marrying her, but I never thought he would actually stop fightin

Josie POVSadie called him, and anger boiled in my blood. I felt stupid for feeling this way, so I got out of bed and went to sleep in the guest bedroom.Sleep didn't come easily. I thought about what had happened before his mate called. I realized I wanted him, and I would have let him have me. I forced myself to close my eyes and eventually drifted into sleep.I had a dream that I was in a forest. It was alive and beautiful. Moonlight poured between the trees, and I stood barefoot in the grass, wearing a short, puffy white dress.Suddenly, I heard a sound coming from between the trees, but I wasn't afraid. I heard movement, and then a deer appeared. Before I could blink, dozens of deer quietly stepped out, surrounding me.They were magnificent, with big, gentle eyes, and they seemed comfortable in my presence. But why were they here?Among them, one deer moved forward, a young one smaller than the others. It was different and walked directly to me, standing right in front of me. I sl
