All Chapters of THE LYCAN PRINCE'S BREEDER: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Arianna’s POV I sat at the far end of the small room, watching as the stranger munched on his food. The silence between us was unbearable. It felt awkward being in the same room as a stranger I had met only hours ago. The same man I had discovered might be my mate. The same man who had confidently told me that I would eventually become his Queen. He didn't seem affected by the silence because he was happily devouring his food. And that made me feel like the odd one. Unexpectedly, his head shifted in my direction. “Aren't you eating?” he asked, staring at the plate of food before me before shifting his gaze back to my face. I glanced down at the plate. “I am.” His eyebrows rose. “Really? Because the plate of food before you is saying otherwise." I looked at the plate before him. He was right. I hadn't touched the food in front of me. “I’m not hungry,” I lied. His eyes narrowed slightly. “Not hungry?” I nodded. He placed his spoon on the plate and leaned back in his cha

Arianna’s POV Dawn came faster than usual, and at the first crow of the rooster, we continued our journey. We passed villages, towns, and forests, and after spending two more days on the road, we finally reached the borders of Dravaryn. The closer we got, the more restless I became. Dravaryn... the kingdom that held the fate of Valtheris in its hands. The kingdom where my mother’s life, and possibly Cassian’s depended on my arrival. I sat behind the stranger on the horse, my fingers lightly gripping the back of the saddle. For two days, I had travelled with him. Two days of sleeping in small inns, sharing meals, and riding through unfamiliar lands. And despite my initial suspicions, I had grown accustomed to his presence. He was still irritating, secretive, and far too confident for my liking. But he had never mistreated me. He had made sure I ate, allowed me to sleep on the bed whenever we stopped at an inn, and remained alert whenever we travelled through dangerous areas. He

Arianna’s POV Crown Prince? Which Kingdom Crown Prince? Was that Cassian? Had he come to save me? Thinking about that, relief flooded my heart, and a soft smile curved up my lips amid my tears. Suddenly, one of the men holding me stiffened beside me. I looked at him and saw that his face had gone pale as though he had been struck by lightning. “Crown Prince?” he whispered under his breath, his eyes fixed on the man standing before us. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead as his eyes scanned the room in panic. Then, he suddenly let go of me, his trembling hand dropping to his side. “That voice…” he whispered, pointing toward the stranger. “It’s the Crown Prince. Prince Lucian has returned!” he announced before falling to his knees and bowing his head. The moment the last word escaped his lips, the hall erupted into an uproar. “Crown Prince Lucian?” “He has returned after disappearing for three years?” “That’s true! That voice sounds like his.” I stood fixated on one spot

For a moment, I just stared blankly into space, hoping I had heard wrong.An heir?They wanted me to give Lucian a child so he could survive?My eyes slowly moved from Elder Marcus to Lucian.“You mean...” My voice came out barely above a whisper. “You want me to have his child?”Nobody answered immediately. But their silence was enough of an answer.My stomach knotted painfully.“No,” I shook my head and instinctively took a step backward. “No, that's impossible.”Lucian's expression changed.“Arianna...”“No,” I pulled my hand away from his. “I can't marry you.”The entire hall went silent.I looked at Lucian, my heart pounding painfully against my ribs.“I'm already mated and marked,” my fingers instinctively touched the mark on my neck. “I'm already married to Cassian.”Even saying his name made my chest ache.Cassian was my husband. My mate. The man I had promised to return to.The man who had given me his ring and told me I was not going to give Dravaryn what they wanted.Could

Arianna's POVHis words hit me hard like a slap to the face. Love? I wasn’t even sure whether I loved Cassian. He never said he loved me and I never said that too. I just felt safe around him. I always looked forward to seeing him. Could that count as love?“Shut up! You don't know anything,” my voice echoed through the room.Lucian didn't respond immediately. He simply stared at me, his expression unreadable.I turned away from him, refusing to let him see the tears gathering in my eyes.Why did he have to ask me that? Why did he have to put that question in my head?I didn't want to think about it.I didn't want to question what I felt for Cassian and didn't want to question the relationship I had with him.Because despite everything that had happened between us, Cassian was still the person I had chosen to trust. And we were both happy together. And now, Lucian was making me question all of it.“I don't need you to tell me what I feel.”“I wasn't trying to,” his voice was low
