All Chapters of Seven Ways To Kill Your Lycan Mate: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

That afternoon, with fewer chores in the kitchen, I retired to the breeders' room. My exploration of the room led me to the wardrobe, and when I opened it, I found it filled with white gowns and bonnets.Underneath my name tag there was two gowns of different weights hanging there. One was heavier, lined with fur, and made for winter. The other was lighter, paired with a bonnet. Staring at them stirred a rage inside me. I wanted to run. I wished I could disappear somewhere, anywhere, right now.Scanning the room, my eyes landed on the door. After a moment of fighting through my thoughts and emotions, I hesitated and went to the bathroom instead.When I came out, I saw the girl I'd met earlier. She was a chubby girl with wide, curvy hips and a full chest. Her long ginger hair was curly and reached her shoulders. Her eyes were like the ocean, and her cheeks carried a permanent deep flush."I heard what happened to you in the Princess's room," she murmured, stepping closer. "I'm sorry."

A thought began to take root in my mind as he leaned closer, his hand reaching for my face. Of course he was going to wrap his hand around my neck and strangle me to death. It was the way of Lycans. They were only familiar with violence.However, as I started thinking of ways to defend myself against him, he reached for the wall behind me and took something.A sharp breath unfurled from my mouth when he took the towel hanging on the wall and slowly started to dry his body.Standing this close, I could feel the mate bond pulling and tugging between us, as if it wanted us together, to seal the bond with a mark on both of us. It coerced me to lean into Lucian and take in more of his fresh scent.Quickly looking away, I buried the rising thoughts in my mind and took a deep breath. I could feel his eyes on me, watching me as though he were feeling the same pull from the bond. But why would the goddess even pair me with a Lycan? It was a question I found myself asking every time since I'd d

Sylvia strolled past me, stepping outside the room. Turning around, I followed her. The sound of the bell must have drawn everyone's attention because the hallway was now filled with servants, breeders, and higher officials. I spotted Lyra and the other girls walking toward the sound of the bell ringing. "What's happening?" I asked Lyra. "For the bell to ring thrice means something terrible has happened and everyone has been summoned." I followed Lyra down the stairs. I kept my head down as the officials passed. We reached the square where everyone had gathered. Up ahead near the cannon, I caught sight of a male bound in silver wires. A guard shoved him to his knees, forcing him down. Blood oozed from different parts of his body. The male had been beaten and bruised, and he looked very weak. Two guards stood at his side. "A Lycan," Lyra murmured. I returned my gaze to the male, and as I looked at him clearly, I caught sight of his dark red eyes. He was a Lycan, not a werewo

Arriving at Lucian's room, I tapped on the door softly. When I heard his voice telling me to come in, I opened the door and stepped inside. His nostrils flared, a judgmental look settling on his face when his eyes found me. "Why do you look unprepared?" "Unprepared? For what?" "Didn't you overhear the discussion I had with my father last night?" I swallowed hard. I had forgotten. "You forgot,” he said. “Or did you do it intentionally so you wouldn't have to go? You know the King hates tardiness." "I know. I have actually been busy all day," I murmured. I'd thought Lucian had forgotten about me, so I wouldn't have to worry about facing the King tonight. But I guess I was wrong. "Then you shouldn't still be standing there staring at me. Get prepared. We're leaving together." I turned around and started to head towards the door when he stopped me. "Where do you think you're going? Come back here." "To take my bath." Just as the words left my mouth, I felt his cold presence behi

Arriving at the room, I tried to maneuver my way out, but Lucian caught my arm and dragged me into his. Slamming the door shut, he pushed me forward.His eyes darkened as he looked into mine. "What was the meaning of that?""Of what?" The corner of my lips curled softly."I gave you clear instructions on what to do at dinner, yet you went against my orders and disrespected my father, the King, in front of me?""I don't see what I did wrong. Your father—""His Highness," he cut in."What?""You will address my father by his title. Who gave you the right to refer to him as you please? Is this because of the freedom I've granted you?""What freedom have you offered me?" I scoffed. "By locking me up in this castle, making me dress in a uniform like your breeding mate? Is that freedom?""You should be grateful my father spared you from death. Being offered as a breed mate should be the greatest honor you could ever think of."I chuckled, fighting back the tears threatening to spill from my
