Semua Bab The Lycan King’s Arranged Bride: Bab 71 - Bab 80

We arrived at the border in ten minutes. A few guards stood near the entrance, and the moment they noticed us, one hurried over. “Alpha, beta,” he said. “What happened?” Jalen asked. The guard hesitated, and I could see Jalen's expression harden beside me. “Start talking,” he ordered. “There was an incident, sir,” the guard replied, brushing the back of his head with his hand, his cheeks flushed slightly. "I'm aware. That's why I'm here," Jalen said sarcastically, and I couldn't help but chuckle. What was the guard's problem? The guard glanced scornfully at the building behind him. “A woman crossed the border without authorization. She resisted when the guards tried to stop her, and a fight broke out. She injured one of my men, but we managed to hold her down,” he explained. We followed him through the entrance, and the moment I stepped into the reception area, we saw her. She was sitting in one of the chairs near the desk, her body angled toward a little girl sleeping against

Ronan POV The garden was quiet and cool tonight. I found my wife there, and the moment I saw her, I finally felt like I could breathe again. I hadn’t even realized I was struggling until that moment. Even Rafe seemed unusually content. A breeze passed between us, carrying Josie’s scent to me, and I inhaled her scent. It was sweet, familiar, and intoxicating. She was standing near the edge of the garden with her back turned to me, wearing a cream silk robe, and my gaze lingered on her. The thin material clung softly to her body perfectly, and her hair fell loose down her back. She looked serene, but deep down she wasn't. Her shoulders were tense, and was in deep thought. I slipped my hand into my pocket, feeling the small box, and walking toward her. She heard me before I spoke. “Thought you'd stand there all night.” she said softly. “You knew I was here?” My mouth curved into a faint smile, I was pleased that she felt my presence. Josie turned her head slightly. “I saw you

Josie POV"Who is she?" Flora's voice was quiet, hurt. A low growl resounded beside me. Ronan. Raphael's eyes flashed, and Mia's confidence faltered. She winced and left. Raphael looked at Flora, and his face fell. "Mia," he replied. "You have another woman?" Ronan growled,  voice was calm with a danger to it."Mia. She used to be on my team." Raphael explained."That doesn't explain why she just kissed you," I said, a little pissed on behalf of Flora. Raphael sighed. "She's an ex.""An ex?" Flora's voice was hoarse, and she looked surprised, so he didn't tell her.  Raphael instantly turned toward her."Flora, I-""It's fine." She smiled, but it was small and clearly forced. "You don't have to explain, Raph."She let go of his hand, and from the look on his face, it bothered him deeply. "No. I do."He reached for her hand again, but she pulled it behind her back. "Not

Josie POVI woke up with Ronan’s arms still wrapped around me. My eyes adjusted to the light spilling from the windows. I didn't move, just lay there and watched him, listening to his breathing and feeling his warmth against mine. Last night had been perfect. I smiled as my fingers found the necklace around my neck.R.O. His initials.I pressed the pendant against my chest, unable to stop the silly smile spreading across my face. This time, I wasn’t wondering whether Ronan wanted me.Last night, he had shown me, and tonight, I would tell him I was pregnant.I had been terrified that telling him would change everything. Maybe it would. Maybe it would destroy the fragile happiness we’d finally found, but as I said, I didn’t care anymore.I buried my face into the pillow, trying to hide my excitement, but I had a fun idea.I lifted my head once again, and before I could stop myself due to embarrassment at what I was doing, I got over him, straddling him. He stirred, and bit, and slowl

Ronan POV Darkness. I tried to open my eyes, but I couldn't. What the fuck was happening to me right now? I tried to open my mouth to speak, but no sound came out. I reached for Rafe, but I couldn't feel him. "Doctor, it's been two days. Are you sure he's alright?" I heard a distant voice ask. Gigi. “Yes. She gave him a heavy dose of sedatives. Otherwise, the king would have woken up by now." That was Doctor Blake. What were they talking about? "He's going to freak out when he wakes up," I heard Jalen say. I forced my body to move, counting slowly and willing it to. I didn’t understand what was happening. And why the fuck couldn’t I feel my Lycan? “What the fuck...” I managed to get my body to finally work, but it felt heavy, but I could feel Rafe again, slowly. Suddenly, the memories hit me, and I jolted, a growl slipping from my chest. "Josie!" I remembered getting ready for our dinner with Josie when Sadie entered. She’d complained, and later poured me a drink, and
