All Chapters of Married to the Cursed Alpha Mage : Chapter 21 - Chapter 28

The door opened, and a male servant walked into the office. He took a few careful steps until he was standing right in front of me, across the table, before lowering his head.“Alpha Lucien,” he greeted me with a bow.I dropped the file onto the table and leaned my back against the chair, resting one hand against my jaw as I stared at the servant standing before me. He looked as though he was waiting for permission to speak, so I gave him exactly what he needed.“Speak,” I said coldly.“Your Majesty, there is a letter from Prince Ezekiel Vane of the Velmora Kingdom. He wishes to attend the festival,” the man said as he placed the sealed letter on my desk.The moment I heard the name, a deep frown settled across my face, and my eyes slowly dropped to the letter sitting in front of me. For several seconds, I simply stared at it, feeling my patience disappear before I had even opened the damn thing. I already knew whatever was written inside would be nothing I wanted to read. Without bot

After changing back into my dress, Freya helped me put the new dress in the wardrobe. She also reminded me that the festival would be held in a few days. The royal dressmaker never came back to check whether the dress needed any adjustments, but I was almost certain Lucien had given her strict instructions not to return to my chamber. Not that I was surprised. That man seemed to have a problem with everything I did, even something as simple as breathing comfortably in a dress.Not wanting to remain trapped inside my room for the rest of the day, I decided to leave and take a walk around the castle, just as I had been doing almost every day. Walking around was practically the only thing I could do here, and sometimes I wished Lucien would at least allow me to leave the castle grounds and explore the kingdom. But I already knew asking him would be a waste of time. He would never allow it. The thought reminded me of my father, who had never allowed me to leave our palace either because h

For what felt like forever, I forgot how to blink. His fingers were still wrapped around my wrist, holding me firmly in place, while his face remained only inches away from mine. The entire hallway seemed to disappear around us, and for those few seconds, it felt as though there was nothing else in the world except Lucien and me standing there. “Stand on your feet,” his cold voice interrupted my thoughts, and I blinked at him several times. Only then did I realize that one of his hands was still holding my waist, keeping me from falling. The realization sent heat rushing to my face, and I immediately pulled away from him, then lowered my head, hoping he wouldn't notice how embarrassed I was. “Are you intentionally bumping into me? Huh?” he asked, and I could feel his eyes fixed on me. I quickly shook my head, but before I could explain myself, he stretched his hand toward me. “Your hand.” I looked at him in surprise. For a moment, I thought he was going to hit me for walking i

The moment I heard what Lucien had just said, I quickly turned to him in complete shock, my eyes widening as I tried to process his words. Did he really just say Ezekiel could have me? Was he being serious right now, or was this some cruel joke? My mind refused to believe what I had just heard. I was his wife... wasn't I? Even if he didn't love me, how could he simply give me away to another man as though I were some worthless object?No. I couldn't go with him. Not now. Not when I had already made plans to escape from this castle.Just as tears began gathering in my eyes, threatening to spill down my cheeks in front of everyone, I suddenly saw Lucien slowly rise from his throne. His face remained cold and unreadable, but there was something different about the way he carried himself. Without saying a single word, he began walking toward me with long, steady steps. I didn't know what he was planning to do, but I remained frozen where I stood. I quickly blinked back my tears, refusing
