Arranged Bride For The Lycan King 18
ELINNAThe hospital was in the far end of town.It was a hospital that was very popular and was often visited but with money, you can make things go your way.They kept her in a very private room, away from every other patient and only special doctors and nurses were assigned to her. They were made to sign a contract that if they ever spoke a word about who was in the ward or anything of that sort, they could be liable to prison time.I knew it was a lot but I had to keep my mother away from those evil people. Lizzy had already called the security guard outside beforehand that I would be coming over so when I came, they just asked for my ID and let me enter.Once inside, reality hit me.My mother was a few feet away from me on a bed just as she had been the last time I saw her. She was sleeping, I could hear her squeaky snore.She looked better than the last time I'd been here. She has been so thin and sickly that it made me wonder if my mother was going to be alive by the time I got

ELINNAI left the hospital about two hours after that. I didn't want to.leave my mother but when I told her that I had promised my son that I'm would be back early, she agreed to let me go. “You have to promise to bring him with you next time.”“Oh, I do. It's just because of the whole situation right now that I haven't let him outside since we got back.”But at least, now that she knew about him, it was more of an encouragement to let me bring him out. “Mum, I'll see you later okay? I love you. If you need anything, you have my number. Just call right away, okay?” She nodded as I closed the door. It was refreshing to see my mother again and I couldn't help the smile that was plastered on my face as I made my way to the car. It was a little past nine pm. Chase should still be awake. He knew that on the weekends, he could extend his curfew till however long he wanted to stay up. I didn't force him to sleep early during the weekends. I decided to stop by a fast food joint, probably

ELINNA“Make the announcement, Lizzy.”We were sitting at the table that morning and she had been on a work call since six am. I wasn't sure she heard me because she was knee deep in the work she was doing on her laptop but when she raised her head and looked at me with a frown, talking off her glasses and almost dropping them into her bowl of cereal. “What did you say?” “Tell them I'm back.” She looked at Chase first.“Really? Why the sudden change? What's going on? Did something happen?” I didn't think so. I just felt that the whole point of me coming back was to take over. Id been back for over a month and it think it's time for me to do what I came to do. I didn't care if my family or Carlisle heard about it. “Nothing happened. I just want to get to work. There's a lot to be done.”She looked at me for a while before picking up her phone and typing away from it. They couldn't get me or do anything to me anymore. If they tried it, I would be able to fight for myself. I wa

ELINNAI should have known that today was going to be the most eventful day of my life.As soon as we got down from the car, the first thing that hit me was the bright light from the cameras.There were so many news crews and the way they were pushing each other with the microphones and cameras was so crazy.“Mrs Evergreen, look here!”“Elinna, how did you make your money before this?”“What school did you attend?!”“Are you single?”We finally managed to push past the crowd and go in. I was presented with a bouquet when I walked in.“Mrs Evergreen, my name is Raj Gupta and I'm the Head of HR. It's a pleasure to finally have you visit us.”All I could do was smile as they all introduced themselves.“I can not thank you all enough for working in their company since its inception. You have all believed in the dream that we had and today, we can happily say that we have built something beautiful. During my time abroad, I heard of how hard you worked and I'm grateful. Now that I'm back, y

ELINNAI looked at the crowd, hoping to find the person who had asked the question.“What did you say?”The man stood to his feet.“Are you related to Carlisle Evergreen, Textile business Mogul?”Was that a trick question or what?I stared at the man, hoping to figure out whether I had seen him before or if he was one of Carlisle's men. It had been so long. Even if I had seen him before, I would have forgotten anyone I met back then.I took a deep breath and leaned into the microphone.“No, no relation.”“So how do you explain your title and your surname?”Why was he so particular about my name?“I would not be commenting about my personal life at this time. If you have any other questions, please refrain from certain personal topics.”Thankfully, till the end of the whole thing, no one asked me any questions that threw me off guard.“Thank you all so much, it's been a wonderful time.”As we left the room, I wondered what else they wanted to ask me because there was still so much pand

ELINNA“You know, you surprise me. My mother got sick and you abandoned her at the hospital to die. You marry some other good digger who treated me like trash. Before your very eyes, I was turned to a slave and you let them do what they wanted to me. As if that was not enough, you gave me out to a man I didn't know. A man who turned me into a sex doll. Are you not my father? Were you not supposed to look out for me?”He was crying and I was trying to stop myself from doing so too because these people didn't deserve a tear.Lizzy had come back into the room and she was standing in the corner listening to everything.“I’m sorry. I don't know what happened. I take responsibility for everything. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for the way I treated you. I should have done better. I failed you as a father, I failed your mother. I'm so sorry.”His tears and appeals weren't doing anything. I thought that I would be happy when I saw them begging but right now, it just seems numb.But I guess some things

ELINNA“Guess what just happened!”I looked up from my phone and looked at Lizzy. She was standing at the door with a big smile on her face and I couldn't imagine what would make her smile like that.“I don't know. I didn't see you at the house this morning so I don't know what could possibly be making you this happy. Why did you leave so early?”She closed the door and cane in to sit.“Its linked to my surprise. Just guess! Ugh, you're so boring.”I feigned hurt.“That is so not true. I am a fun person!”“Tell me the last time you did something fun. Something that made you feel alive!”I thought about it for a good minute.“The time I took those shot people to the hospital.”She had a look of disgust.“Something tells me that you are dead inside.”She was right. That was pretty dark. I needed to go out and do something fun. Maybe this weekend. Chase had been in the house too much as well, he needed some fresh air too.“So will you finally tell me what it's about?”“Okay! I managed to

ELINNA“I have something to do, Mrs Evergreen. I'll see you later. Trust me, we will see each other very soon.”He stood up and straightened his shirt, tugging at his tie. That time looked a bit too tight in this heat. Did he always dress like this?As he was about to leave, I stretched out my hand.“Mr Evergreen, let us shake to our future partnership.”He looked at my heart snd my heart beat in my chest as he contemplated taking him.He eventually took my hand and I felt that zap. I bit my tongue hard and forced myself to smile.Carlisle winked at me as he walked out of the room.As the door closed on us, I fell back on my chair trying to make sense of what happened.Lizzy crossed the room to meet me.“What the hell just happened? What did he say to you?”I stared at my hand that had shook his.“Lizzy, that man…that man isn't Carlisle.”I don't know what happened. My head was feeling dizzy.“Lizzy, let's go home. I don't feel so good. I think I want to throw up.”As soon as I stood

ELINNAAs I guessed, the table was very full. So full that they even had to bring in another table and add to it so that they could put all the dishes. “Woah, seems like a buffet. Now I'm beginning to think it's too much. We could have put all this to better use.”I didnt want to to seem like I was a glutton and if it was left to just me, I would order as much as I could because I liked food nd I liked to eat a lot but he might not like that and I didn't want to give a wrong first impression. “Oh, don't worry about that. Every drop of food that's left over from the restaurant gets given to the shelter and people on the streets. I'm all about charity work.”Well, I guess that made me feel a whole lot more better. We dug in and started eating and as I tasted every dish, I loved them more. The food tasted very good and I had little to no complaints about the presentation, dressing and all that. “So tell me Mrs Elinna, why's a married woman like you going on a date with a man like me?

ELINNA With the amount of things I'd been dealing with in the past month, it was only allowed that I would forget things I don't seem Imoortant at the time.Things like the stranger who I had met in the hospital that night after the shoot out. Mark Luxembourg. I'd been coming down the elevator, my whole mind wanting to go to my car so I can get home as quickly as possible. When I got to the ground floor, my phone started buzzing and as I searched through my bag for it, I bumped into someone and my bag fell from my hand.“I’m so sorry. I didn't realize where I was going. Forgive me if I hurt you.”I was too busy packing the things that fell from my bag that I didn't even look up at who was in front of me. I heard a scoff. “Elinna? Mrs Elinna?”I recognied his voice right away and I looked up to see him with a smile.“I’m right, it is you.” I felt more at ease knowing that it was him and I returned the smile, taking his hand and letting him help me rise to my feet. “What on ear

CARLISLEGomez had reached out to her. He had called her in front of me and as the phone rang, my heart beat in my chest, wondering what she was going to say when she picked up. “Hello? Who's this?”I gave Gomez a go ahead. “Is this Elinna Evergreen?”She didn't answer immediately. “Yes, this is she. Who is this, again?”“This is Gomez. I'm Carlisle's right hand man.”She burst out laughing. “Did he send you to me? He said he wanted to kill me. Has he asked you to lure me back to the pack?”Gosh, from the way she was talking, I could tell that she was very mad. I really want to know what he had said to her that day he went to her office and the day that he had called her here. “Elinna, please hear me out. That's far from what happened. Listen, he wants to explain what happened to you. Carlisle is not the same anymore. But he's fine now and he heard everything that happened. He wants to apologise for everything the other guy did.”If she was running away from me, it was a valid r

ELINNA“What? What do you mean you're coming to New York?” Brad smiled into the phone. “I mean I'm coming to New York. I have a deal to close and also an excuse to see you and Chase! I've missed you guys so much!”Chase would be so happy when I tell him about this. He didn't get to see Brad before we left back here and he was so close to Brad. “You don't seen as happy as I thought you would. Don't you want to see me?”I gave him a look. “What? How can you say that? Of course I'm happy that you want to come. Hurry up, when is your flight?” I knew that he was going to check his planner. Brad had a very terrible memory and I had to make him buy a planner and sticky notes so that he would remember everything that he needed to do. “Oh, it's this Saturday. I should be with you by Monday morning. It's going to be a very long flight.”Well, we didn't really feel the stress of the flight because we used the private jet so there was a lot of comfortability. “Well, I would be very honored

CARLISLEHe was back.After all these years, he came back.He ruined my life back then and now, just when I thought I could finally have my life back, that bastard was back.“Gomez, why didn't you tell me? Did you think I wouldn't find out?”Gomez kept staring at his feet.“My King, I couldn't bear to tell you the truth. I mean, after all these years that we thought that we had won against him, I couldn't bring myself to tell you that he was back. You would be so disappointed.”I could understand that but what if hebhad gone ahead to do something that didn't want to? I would have to take responsibility for it.“Let’s leave that. I don't know when he's going to be back so we have to hurry up and find out what he wants this time around. Did he go anywhere with me?”From the way Gomez recoiled, I could tell that he had done something he wasn't supposed to.“He went to see her.”My heart sank to the bottom of my feet.I stood up from my chair and crossed the room to meet him, hoping that

ELINNA“Are you okay? What's wrong?”I gathered myself together and forced a smile, not liking the pain that was shooting through mybhead. I had warned Ice not to shout in my head but I guess the pain I felt didn't matter.The pain didn't last for long though.“Yes, I'm fine. Let's get going. I just thought I forgot something.”As she walked ahead of me, I tried to wonder what the hell had just happened.“Ice, what the hell was that? Why did you shout at me like that?”Helen entered the car before me.“I’m sorry for the way I raised my voice but I did it to warn you. I mean, you couldn't let you talk about Chase. I don't want you telling anyone about Chase until I'm sure that they're clean. You'd be surprised how good demons are at hiding themselves.”What? Helen? Possessed? That was crazy to even imagine.But I couldn't imagine it too until I saw the demon in Carlisle.“Do you think she's possessed too?”I mean, her coming to look for me out of nowhere was a very suspicious thing but

ELINNA“What did you say about the new investor? I was on a call when you came in the other time and I was distracted.” Lizzy rolled her eyes at me. “I said he came in to see the place and he said he was looking forward to meeting you the next time he came.”Mmm, at least this time, there was no funny story about our investor being possessed. I wondered if Lizzy would believe it if I told her. I highly doubted it. The way she hated Carlisle, you'd think he was the one who created the devil. “Why didn't he just wait till I was back before coming? Now he had to make a double trip.” She thought about it for a moment then shrugged. “He had already made plans and he had a trip for Japan the next day so I'm guessing he wanted to finish up business in this part of the world.”That made sense…it was lunch time and my stomach was actually very hungry. My body was so tired and I was sleepy. When the bell rang, I just put my pen down and rested my head beteeen my hands because I couldn't

CARLISLEBy the time I woke up, the moon was in the sky.My whole body felt like it had been beating to it's ends with a very big stick and I could barely move. My throat was so parched and it hurt so much when I swallowed.I managed to reach for the bell on my nightstand and rang it. I don't remember the last time I used that bell because I liked doing things myself.The bell was to call for maids or guard when I needed help.Gosh, why couldn't I remember what I had done to make me feel like this?The door opened and Gomez ran in.“My Liege, you're awake. You took a long nap.”“Gomez, get me water and some food. Also some pain killers. Now.”He looked up at me and froze, staring right at me like I had just spoken some foreign language.“Why are you still standing there? Go!”He uses his legs, running out of the room..I managed to gather myself and get out of bed, setting my eyes on the couch beside the window..“What the hell is going on?” I whispered as I sat down.Gomez walked pac

Do you think that if he had decided to harm you or kill you, he won't have succeeded?”Since I got home and called for Ice, I'd been getting an earfull..“And who will be blamed for this? Who do you think will have to take the fall for your irresponsible actions, Elinna?! I will. Because I was supposed to be watching you but you put yourself in harm's way!”The fact that she was in my head and she was shouting just made things worse. I had a very bad headache and I had to deal with it. I knew that I shouldn't have gone to smart talk him but I couldn't help it.There was just something about him that made me so angry.“Ice please stop shouting. I didn't mean to. He asked to see you,.I panicked. I thought he wouldn't be able to sense you since you left.”I just laid down on the bed and let the cool breeze hit me. I'd been through
