บททั้งหมดของ The Lycan King's Forbidden Human Mate: บทที่ 71 - บทที่ 79

“We have company.” His words rang in my ears like a death toll. I spun around in my seat, my heart leaping into my throat as I saw multiple sets of headlights cutting through the darkness behind us. There were at least four cars, coming at us at full speed, their engines roaring in the night. “Are they yours?” I asked nervously. My mind was racing—I didn't know if he had secretly changed his mind and sent someone to take me away to a cell. “No. They are not,” he answered, his voice tight with restraint. It was foolish of me to doubt him after everything, but our history was built on secrets; I couldn't help the spike of paranoia. “Hold on tight,” he said. Before I could even blink, he stepped on the gas. The car lurched forward, the tires screaming against the asphalt as we shot down the highway. But the extra speed didn't stop them; the cars behind us just accelerated, pursuing

"Lucien, what do you mean my mother is a patient here?” I asked him, hoping it was a lie. But he just looked away, saying nothing. His silence was the loudest answer he could have given me. How? How could my mother be in a mental asylum? How did she even get here? What happened to make her get admitted into a place like this? My mind was swirling with questions I couldn't find the answers to. “Let’s head inside,” he said, letting go of my hand and stepping outside of the car into the cool breeze. “Lucien, you still haven’t answered my question!” I demanded, opening the door and chasing after him. I needed answers right now. “What is my mother doing here?” “Let’s just head inside, Seraphina,” he said, reaching out to pull my hand, trying to usher me toward the heavy metal doors of the building. “No!”

"Aurelien?” she asked, her voice dropping as she was trying to make sense of the words she had just heard. “Like Eugene Aurelien?” She questioned him directly, her eyes wide as she tried to clarify if she had heard the name correctly. Lucien gave her a firm nod at her words. “Yes, ma'am—” Before Lucien could even finish speaking, my mother moved with a sudden speed. She was right in front of me, throwing her small frame forward to block his view of me. “You demon!” she shouted at the top of her lungs. The sheer volume of her voice startled us both, echoing loudly off the bare walls of the room. “You came here to kill my daughter just like you had done to my husband! All of you from that family are demons!” ‘Very true. Couldn't have said it better myself,’ Serene hummed in agreement. “Ma'am, you are misunderstanding—” Lucien tried to explain again, keeping his

I woke up to a white, stark light. It was blinding that I had to snap my eyes closed again instantly to prevent myself from going blind. The glare burned straight through my eyelids, making my head throb It took me a long moment to realize where I even was. I tried to move my arms, but my body felt heavy, like I was buried under sand. I just groaned out loud from how tired I was, my voice sounding flat in the empty space. “You are finally awake,” I heard a voice say. It was the unmistakable voice of Serena. It sounded right next to me, close by. I forced my eyes open against the glare, turning my head to where the sound came from. I saw her sitting right beside me on the white floor. She was looking down at me and smiling. Smiling? The sight shook me. I stood up abruptly, scrambling backward to get some distance between us. My chest was heaving. Why the f*ck was she smiling at me? “Calm down,” she said. She moved toward me smoothly, reaching out and pressing her palm flat against

I knelt down on the damp gravel, the small stones biting into my knees. Earlier during my stay at the manor, I had asked Madame Vivienne to clean up the old headstones behind the house. Now, the moss and grime were gone, leaving the names more clearer. I reached out, my fingers gently tracing the letters etched into the stone that belonged to Serene. Sitting here in the graveyard, I couldn't help but reminisce about the past two years. So much had changed. The world we lived in today looked different from the one I had been dragged into. "Hey," I whispered, biting back the surge of emotion that tightened my throat as I stared at the marker. "How are you? I know, that's a dumb question. You're dead, so you can't exactly feel anything." A chuckle escaped my lips, echoing softly in the open air. "I'm sure you're already familiar with everything that's been going on," I continued, leaning closer to the stone. "Lucien... Lucien and I finally did what you always wanted. We broke the cy
