All Chapters of The Lycan King's Redemption : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Seated on his throne, Lucian observed the long line of commoners before him, men and women, who had come to lodge their grievances with the king.Lately, the commoners' complaints had been growing with each passing day. The culprit was the werewolves. They have been doing everything within their power to breach the treaty deal that brought peace to the Shifters clan decades ago.Bluemoon and Lowfell had long since severed their allegiance to the Lycans. Bluemoon pack in particular had poisoned the minds of the Riverine pack, renowned city of the sweet lake and the second most fertile on the continent of Telestai. Riverine is known for its bountiful harvests, particularly the high-quality wheat it produced. It was the largest supplier of grain to both werewolves and surviving Lycan packs.The werewolves have ensured that trade between Riverine and Lycans ceased, thus severing all ties. The blockade was a major problem, leading to widespread discontent among the common people. Prices so

She fell unconscious in his arms. Her long hair flowing over the ground as her face tilted to the sky.Lucian lifted her off the ground like she weighed nothing. He waited a few minutes before Gabriel showed up with a carriage."Your Majesty," Gabriel alighted from the carriage and extended his hand to carry the princess. "Who would want her dead? Every Lycan accepted the deal of you getting married to her. Even if they changed their mind, they would consult you first and not just attempt to kill her," Gabriel said."Her father beats every other suspicious threat. He wasn't happy that I took her. But that man has no nerve to send wolves that are not my prisoners into my territory. Assemble the prisoners and fish out the spies within them. An exemplary punishment must be given to anyone who dares to cross me."Lucian looked down at Plum, who was growling so hard and hovering around them. The huge wolf's face was etched with worry. Thanks to her and the sudden unsettling feeling in his

Seven days laterThe yellow hue of the sunlight illuminated the room when Viola's eyes opened. She blinked once to behold a blurry white ceiling. By the time she had blinked the fourth time, her retina was able to focus on the images.A nurse walked in with a tray filled with medicine and injections.Viola sat up immediately, throwing the sheet off her body as the nurse approached her."You need to calm down, ma'am. Your heart is beating faster, and besides, I'm wearing a hospital scrub. I won't hurt you," the nurse assured her before taking a syringe and plunging it into her vein.The hospital door opened again, and Viola's eyes went from King Lucian to an older woman who was smiling with teary eyes.The similarities in their features suggested the woman was his mother."You are finally awake, my darling daughter," Queen Esther kissed Viola on her forehead. Her hand swept the hair from Viola's face before wrapping her in an embrace "I'm glad you are out of trouble.""How long have I

Lucian walked toward her, his boots crunching against the blood-soaked earth. His face was a mask of controlled fury, but beneath it, she caught a flicker of bewilderment, perhaps. Or irritation. With him, it was always hard to tell."You should be in the hospital. Resting like you wanted. Or at the castle to resume your duty. Why are you here of all places? Do you know how easy it is to kill you?" he said flatly.Viola opened her mouth. Closed it. Opened it again, but no words came to her rescue."I'm really sorry, Your Majesty," she finally squeaked, gesturing vaguely at the dead rogue. "I was heading back to the castle before the horse diverted."The silence stretched between them, punctuated only by the heavy breathing of the horse and the distant cry of the tied men.His brows suddenly furrowed as he walked closely around the horse, looking at her face structure, and then his hands began to run down the body of the horse. When he saw the scar he was searching for, the corner of h

Viola's cheek turned pink because of how embarrassed she was. All her life she had been groomed to be a proper princess, and throwing up in front of people was definitely an attitude her mother would have frowned upon...called uncouth or bad manners.Regardless of how embarrassed she was, Lucian coaxed her back with a hand against her forehead.He was quiet as he leaned over the saddle and drew something from the saddlebag. A water skin. He unscrewed it and gave it to her.Viola took a mouthful of water and rolled it across her mouth before spitting it out. She then gulped down a good quantity to regain her strength."How far do we have to go, your majesty?""We will be home in the nearest hour. You diverted to a longer route with the horse," Lucian replied.Her shoulders slumped. They would be on that horse all that long. It was worse because she was not alone and could not even look at her surroundings without feeling the urge to hurl.Rummaging in the saddlebag, he drew out a small
