Lucian's POV

I walked into the council, with Azariel and Ariel by my side. All gazes were on me, to be precise; the book in my hands. I intentionally raised it up slightly, and ran my fingers on it.

“You're enjoying this aren't you? You sure have a knack for trouble.” Azariel shook his head slightly.

“I lovee the attention.” Ariel grinned, as he eyed the book.

“Can I hold it too? So all eyes would be on me.” He requested, and I handed it over to him.

Whispers flew here and there, as the people passing had shocked expressions on their faces. Giving Ariel the book was a wrong decision to anyone as he would do too much, but it was for that reason I gave it to him.

“Yayyy, I’ve got my hands on the book of illusions.” He looked like a child who had been given a piece of sweet.

“I should have just choked him when he was born.” Azariel sighed as he threw a glance at Ariel.

Ariel's behaviour drew more attention as we walked into the main building where the meeting was to be held.

    Iris's POV I heaved for breath inside the boot, I might pass out at any moment if I didn't inhale fresh air. Rhea and I were squeezed inside the boot, and clearly, there was someone or something else with us.“Rhea.” I called, huffing. “Let's push against the boot.” We groaned, as we tried to push open the boot but to no avail. I felt my strength depleting fast and I knew I would definitely black out soon.“Let's try, one more time.” I said, my voice barely a whisper.We pushed again with our last strength, and if it didn't open; we’d be gone. Eventually, the boot opened slightly and fresh air seeped in. I gasped, as I inhaled the air.Together, we pushed it open fully and sluggishly dragged ourselves out. There were other cars packed behind it. I stood up, walking out from behind the car. I could see a tall, large building with people walking to and fro in it.“Woww! What is this place?” I gasped.“Looks like some kind of work place.” Rhea muttered from behind.“Wait a minute, are

    Iris's POV So there was another Lucian with a bad, infamous reputation. Maybe any man bearing Lucian, would definitely have atrocities accompanying his name.This kind woman had helped up, but there was a problem; we didn't have any money for a cab. The right thing a normal person would do in this situation was to wait for Lucian and explain everything to him, but I had seen and heard quite enough to know what he was capable of.“Kind ma’am.” I began.“You can call me Dianne.” She smiled.“Do you know where the beast king might be?” I asked.“Hmm, I guess he must be in a meeting if he is here.” She replied.“And…take this. You’ll need it for a cab.” She fished out a ward of cash and handed it over to us.I was bewildered, and surprised at the same time. Did she read my mind? Just now, I was thinking of how I would ask her for some money without looking awkward. But instead, she had helped me out.No matter how expensive the cab drivers charged, I doubted that it would be up to the am

    Lucian’s POV “That was one way to handle the issue. You were riling them up Lucian, they’d be after you.” Azariel stated.“I didn't do anything.” I looked at him innocently, “If there was any one that pissed the council members, give accolades to your brother.”“I’ll take that as a compliment, thank you Luci.” Ariel grinned which further irked Azariel.“Wait!” Someone called from the back, it was Beom.He stood in front of us, heaving.“You look like you ran several kilometres. Meanwhile you only ran from the hall to this place.” I stated.“You!” He raised his fingers. “You always find ways to annoy me.”“I'm here for you Azariel.” He crossed his arms, facing Azariel.“Since you faked your death, you didn't say anything to me. I guess that's how it is now, right? You made everyone worried.” He gritted his teeth.“Quick notice, I wasn't worried. His burial would have been an emotional one.” I said in a monotone voice.“I'm sorry.” Azariel gave a light smile, his voice unusually deeper

    Iris's POV “You definitely said Blood rune, now that we are here; you're telling me that it's blood moon. Come off it bitches!” The cab driver yelled, his voice rough.I clenched my fist, I was pissed. I clearly mentioned the blood moon pack to him, and here he was denying it. I took a deep breath, calming myself before I said someone that might cause a fight.“She clearly said blood moon. If there's something wrong with your ear, you should have said so earlier. You don't get to speak to her like that.” Rhea, who had been quiet, snapped.“That might rile him up and he might get violent, we wouldn't stand a chance against him. Let's talk to him amicably.” I whispered in her ears.“Wow! Now you have the guts to speak that way, two eyed bitch.” He spat,.facing Rhea. “Now get the hell out of my car. Now!”He got down from the car, yelling at us to get down.“Please mister, we can settle this without you being violent.” I said as we got out of the car.He paused as he stopped yelling. He

    Huh? Did he just say Lucian? I sat on the ground as I stared at his outstretched hand. Then I remembered Dianne's words.“There are two Lucians, the mad king and the beast king.”The beast king was the one I lived with, my nightmare. Then this man in front of me would be the….mad king.The mad king…the one who Dianne said flayed one of his wives, was standing right in front of me. I gulped as my heart beat rapidly. I looked at the corpses one more time and then at his hands, which had blood stains on them. He had saved us from these men.“Oops. My hands are stained, sorry about that.” He wiped his hands and stretched it forth at me again.I gulped as I slowly took his hand and he lifted me up.“Can you walk by yourself or do you need me to carry you?” He asked.“No, thanks. I’ll be fine.” I rejected immediately with an awkward smile.“Thank you for saving us.” I muttered with a slight bow.“It's nothing. It's just my gentle manliness that's slowly coming back, I thought I lost it.”

    Lucian's POV We got to the hideout of the witch, Kaiza. She couldn't afford to stray out in the open as a bounty was placed on her head, she was being hunted.“Eew, I can't believe I’m going to enter this shack.” Ariel's face was scrunched up, as he stared at the wooden shack disgustingly.“Keep shut, like you didn't live in one before.” Azariel glared at him.“Do you seriously want to bring that up now? You make me keep having plans on how to sell you off, Azariel.” His lips curled.“Now you've revealed your true intentions, we’ll see who would end up missing; watch your back Ariel. And stop calling me that.” Azariel warned.“Stop calling you what? You mean Aza? Aza, aza, aza.” Ariel called out intentionally, irking Azariel.Ignored them both as I broke into the wooden shack. Kaiza was seated on the bare floor, with her eyes closed and her leg crossed. Her hands were also raised up like she was meditating, her long, black hair floated with a blue hue encasing it.“You're here.” She

    “Well, well, well. Look who we have here, what a coincidence.” She smiled. “Aren't you meant to be at your pack now?”“It's a long story.” I muttered as I explained everything to her, from how the cab driver brought us here to how he attacked us with his men, and finally Lucian, the mad king coming to save us and how we got to the hospital.“It's understandable that Lucian killed those men, he can't stand the likes of them. But he let his driver bring you and your friend to his hospital? That's new.” She looked surprised.“He has definitely caught interest in one of you, or both of you; maybe.” She laughed lightly but I wasn't finding it funny.He was interested in who?I subconsciously imagined the scene of him flaying his wife, and it was enough to send shivers down my spine.“Thank you for the information. I’ll immediately leave with Rhea.” I muttered quickly and she burst out laughing.“You really are as quick as a horse. Is that how much you're scared of him? Don't worry, he won'

    Lucian’s POV My brows furrowed, as I clenched my fists. Her scent that I perceived in the car boot earlier, wasn't a mistake or a coincidence, she was indeed in the boot. Which meant she had probably tried to escape along with her new friend.“What's wrong Lucian? What did Ivan tell you?” Azariel asked upon noticing my quietness.“Let's go back to the council, now.” I muttered.I would visit Konstantin later, but now; finding Iris was more important. Maybe it was because I went a little easy on her the last time she attempted to escape, and now she thought she could do it freely.If only she knows….When I find her, I’d have to teach her a good lesson so she wouldn't dare assume for once that I was a good girl. That's the thing with people, you show them a little leniency, and they’d take it for granted.I dashed out of the shack, walking to the car with Ariel and Azariel behind me. This time, I drove by myself, rage coursing through my veins. I was sure she didn't escape to her home

    Lucian’s POV Punching Lucian was the only way I could vent my anger and frustration. He enjoyed the beating as the mad person he was. He knew who Iris was, yet he had put on the perfect facade.I had asked her to strip not because I was angry at her or anything, but because I knew she'd be hurt. With what she explained to me, the cab driver would definitely have hurt her. The red lines on her face told it all, and I knew Lucian didn't hurt her.If only I had met him alive, he’d have preferred to be sent to hell. Iris said Lucian saved them, and I knew he’d have definitely killed the men.My blood boiled that they had the audacity to touch and hit her, and they got away with it by dying before I got to them. Maybe I shouldn't have asked her to strip, because when she did, it took a lot of fucking control to hold myself. I couldn't lie I felt sexually attracted to her, I had let her get to me.I had never been affected by any woman this way. I had known it would get to something like

    Iris’s POV I rubbed my ears to see if I had heard wrong, but from the look in his eyes, he wasn't joking.“I won’t repeat my words, and if I do, I promise you'll hate me more than you do.” I heard him say, and I gritted my teeth.“You're kidding me.” I seethed.Who the hell did he think he was to order me around? Do I look like some kind of stripper? If he needed one, he should go to a club; I don't care.I’d had enough, taking one deep breath, I rose from the bed and made my way towards the door. But on getting to the door, I halted, turning to face him.“Look, I’ve explained everything to you. I don't get why you're still…pissed or whatever. What else do you want? I’m sorry if….I made you worry, that's if you even did.” I muttered.“I didn't try to escape.” I added, but he still said nothing, his cold eyes watching me.I sighed, before reaching out for the door handle to unlock it.“If you dare step out of that door…I’m afraid your parents' life would not remain the same.” He said

    Iris's POV My heart thumped rapidly, that I feared those in the room could hear it. I sat, glued to the seat without being able to make any movement. Lucian stood by the door, staring into my soul with those cold blue eyes.The mad king on the other hand, didn't seem ready to leave. I was screwed, he had definitely misunderstood and with the way he was looking at me, he looked like he would tear me apart at any moment soon.The plan was to explain everything to the mad king, so that if the search party got here, Lucian would understand. But instead, Lucian had found me first.“I can explain.” The words jumped out from my mouth as Lucian took a step forward.Still locking gazes with me, each step was like a death sentence to me. He stood in front of me, his height towering. Then he withdrew his gaze and now faced Lucian, the mad king.I was in between them, feeling so damn uncomfortable. Looking at them up close, they were the same height. But Lucian, my nightmare seems to be slightly
