BRIDE OF THE BEAST LYCAN KING Dungeon
Lucian’s POV The scents didn't linger long which meant that they didn't stay long. The maids must have mistakenly crossed over and hurriedly pulled her away after discovering that this place was restricted.This place was off limits to literally everybody. Only those who entered were those whom I allowed such as Ivan as he helped with the cleaning. Knowing the little mouse, I was sure she would definitely try to snoop around here again. Her green eyes were always filled with curiosity, stubbornness, determination and defiance which she never seemed to hide.My lips curled in remembrance of her cautiousness when she was around me. Her expression when she saw she wasn't in her clothes was something else.I walked towards my study door and placed my thumb on the door to unlock it. There was loads of work to be done. I had piles of papers on the table, waiting to be signed. I would have been done with this, but Nikolai and his stupid schemes were taking much of my time.My eyes shut as

Iris's POV I yelped as I shifted back shifted back immediately. I rubbed my eyes to see it was playing pranks with me, but it wasn't. The creature still stood, looking at me with curious eyes.“You don't look human.” It tilted his head and stroked its jaws.“Milady what’s wrong?” Eloise asked.“There…there…there's something on the ground here.” I pointed to the thing.“Let me take a look.” She said as she stepped forward, looking at the direction I was pointing to. She darted her eyes about, looking past the creature.“I see nothing milady. What exactly did you see? A bug?” She asked.I paused, my brows raised. Is she not seeing the thing in front of her?“It's…it's right there before you.” I stuttered.“Wait let me take a look.” Samantha stepped forward, squatting and peering her eyes.“There's nothing here milady.” She rose to her face.I opened my mouth to say something but clamped it back. It dawned on me, they couldn't see the dwarf boy.“I swear something is really here…” I tr

Lucian’s POV “You should have seen Nikolai, he could barely even walk. The elders nearly beat him to death. You pushed him directly into the trap.” Azariel laughed.“Be careful child, you might choke on your meal. Table manners.” Ivana scolded him.“Nmm, I don't think I want to ever leave. The food here is simply delicious or I should take one of the maids who cooks these dishes along with me.” Michael said in between mouthfuls of food.“Keep quiet Michael and eat.” Ivana warned.“Ughh. You're so obsessed with being quie—” A fork flung at him stopped his words.“Hey! What did you do that for? You're as brutal as ever, Ivana.” He complained.“Any news from Landonsville?” Gaius who had been quiet asked.“Nm, it is as Lucian speculated. Some of the higher-ups knew about your imprisonment and some might even have a hand in it.” Azariel commented and the dining room went silent except for the clinking of forks against the plate.It was as I had expected, they would certainly feel betraye

Iris's POV “Kael.” I called but got no response. “If you're hiding show yourself immediately, I don't play kids games.” I taunted but still no response.I guess he was gone. I looked up at the book and sighed, I really wanted to read it. Maybe when I see him next time, he’ll get it for me.“The guardian’s name is Kael? Coolll.” Eloise chuckled.After giving the book one last look, I walked away from the shelf deciding to pick another book.I felt a whoosh above my head. I looked up and a book landed on my head before hitting the ground.“Aww.” I yelped, rubbing my head.“Are you alright milady?” Sntha asked with concern.“Yeah, it's just some book.” I said as I bent to pick up the book.I turned to its front cover, lo and behold, it was the same book that I was yearning to read. My instinct tells me that Kael had a hand in this.Swiftly, I ducked to the other shelf and peer led at the back but found nothing. Maybe the earth knew how much I wanted to read it and here it was.“I’ll tak

Lucian’s POV I watched Azariel fall to the ground with a thud with no emotions.“Quite dead, as a doornail.” I muttered.“Azarielll!.” Beom cried as he bent, holding Azariel's heartless body.With a yell, he sliced up the rogue that had pulled out Azariel's heart before looking at me with many emotions flickering in his eyes; confusion, fear, sadness, and a hint of rage.“You seem so unbothered…” He muttered.I sighed, before bending. “You are more flustered and sad about this than me, despite the fact that we are closer. Is there something you're not telling me?” My lips curled.“I can't believe you, Lucian. Your friend is dead and you're so…” He shook his head.“Now, I won't watch you call him dead. We have kids to save, leave him, he’d be fine.” I patted his shoulder.Beom darted his eyes from the lifeless Azariel to me. Then he rose to his feet, during his knees.“You bastards.” His lips trembled as he glared at me.“Let's go now. There's no time to waste, lead the way.” I smirk

Iris's POV I froze on my seat, my eyes widening as my breath came to a halt. Then the dagger dropped to the ground with a clicking sound. If it had moved a bit, my eyes would have been damaged.“Oh my! Thank goodness.” Samantha exclaimed as she stood by my side.She and Eloise had both jumped from their seats and rushed to my side when they sighted the dagger.“Let's move away from here, this place isn't safe for you, milady. It seemed like someone threw it intentionally. I’ll report this to Ivan.” Samantha said, looking at those surrounding us suspiciously.I stood to leave, but glanced at the mysterious people sitting. I stared at the man with dark hair and he swiftly turned, as if feeling my gaze on him. I looked away immediately with my heart beating fast. Who were they?“I guess that's enough for today's tour.” Eloise sighed.They both escorted me to my room and I let them go as they might have things to do as well. I dropped on my bed with a sigh, shutting my eyes momentarily.

Lucian's POV Beom carried the two boys on his shoulders as we walked through the forest. Some children's corpses were hung up on a tree with their stomach slit. I bet this was the mutants' way of warning whoever dares to follow them.Beom hadn't noticed this, so did the boys. I gripped his shoulders and turned him to the other side.“Lucian what are yo—” “Shh. Just keep quiet and move.”“But we are going the wrong way.” He protested.“Alright. Let's see who’ll traumatise the boys now.” My lips curled.He stared at me skeptically before slowly dropping the boys.“Stay near him and don't look back okay?” He said to the boys who nodded slowly.He glanced at me once more before taking a step forward. “Oh shit!” He cursed as he stumbled to a side of the forest, vomiting.I knew he would react this way, typical Beom. Even if I had told him to forget about it, he certainly wouldn't agree but would insist on knowing why I had changed the route.“Why? Why the fuck are they doing thisss??!!

Lucian’s POV “Wow.” I heard Roman whisper beside me, Uriel was astonished as well.“Scary uncle, how did you do that?” Uriel asked, his eyes widening.“I have it in me.” I chuckled.Beom was still surprised as he stared at me, saying nothing. Then he bent, calling the boys over.“Don't go telling others about what scary uncle did okay? This is our own little secret. Pinky promise?” He stretched out his finger which Uriel hurriedly clung up to.“That's childish, even after doing that doesn't mean a secret would be kept. I give you my word, I won't say a thing. And if I do, behead me.” Roman said with a serious look.Beom looked at him bewildered. “Come here Roman.” “Look at me, whether you say it out loud or not, nobody is going to behead you, okay? Don't bear such thoughts in mind.” He ruffled his hair playfully.Beom rose up, casting me a worried glance. I was sure it was about Roman. The boy was saying and doing things that weren't expected from a child his age. Now come to think

BRIDE OF THE BEAST LYCAN KING Book of Illusion IV
Lucian's POV I jumped into the hole in the book, ignoring Ariel's scream. The only thing on my mind was seeing Iris safe. After falling for a long time, I landed on flowers. I hadn't been to this realm before, but the seer at the council had been able to peel into what it looked like. A place filled with flowers, trees and colourful butterflies which was the perfect illusion in contrast to what was actually going on here.I looked around, but there was no sign of anybody. The mansion where the prisoners were kept should be nearby. Iris must have been taken by the floweries.I hopped from tree to tree, advancing forward but I found no mansion. There was no route and that made it harder. Everywhere was just covered by silly, annoying flowers that irked me. The place was too bright to my liking.As I hopped on another tree, I felt something pierced me from my back. I reached out for it and pulled it out, it was an arrow. I guess my presence has been noticed.I continued hopping from tr
BRIDE OF THE BEAST LYCAN KING Book of Illusion III
Iris's POV I rummaged through his pockets, and I found a bunch of keys. I picked it up, rushing towards the man.“Don't worry mister, you'll be free soon.” I said as I inserted one of the keys into the lock of the chain to which he was bound.It didn't work. There were numerous keys, and I didn't know which one was for his lock. “Please, please, please.” I muttered as I kept on trying different keys.I had to set him free before someone catches me. If I were caught, I’d be as good as dead and I didn't even want to think about what they would do to me.“Don't bother about it. Even if you managed to get the lock open, I wouldn't still be free.” The man said, shaking his head with a small smile.“Huh? What do you mean mister?” I paused.“You see, I’ve been here for a long time and they've extracted so much pain from me that I’m just not moved by it. I bet my pains must have broken a great deal of the realm.” He chuckled dryly.“I don't understand…” I looked at him, confused.“First of

Iris's POVI was surrounded by more creatures, both male and female that looked like Barbrooke.“Who are you? And what do you want?” I asked, as I tried to keep my gazes on each one of them.There were about five of them, plus Barbrooke making them six.“Ah, she's a new one.” One exclaimed and the others began repeating the words, guwaffing.“Yes, a stupid one at that. She called flowers boring!” Barbrooke yelled.The others' eyes widened, like they had just heard a taboo.“She called flowers what?” One of the females shouted.“Boring!” Barbrooke exclaimed.“How dare she?” Another howled.“Let’s deal with her immediately.” One said.“I wish we could, but the madam is not back yet. She's busy.” Barbrooke shook his head solemnly.“Wait! But we could have some fun with her, a little designs and carving on her skin doesn't sound bad. And besides we aren't going deep, the madam would love it!” The woman from earlier shouted.“Yes!”“Yes!”“Yes!”The others chanted repeatedly, and I could s
BRIDE OF THE BEAST LYCAN KING Book of Illision I
Lucian’s POV Azariel had dropped the kids at the council, where their fates would be decided as most of their parents were dead. But surviving ones could come to identify if their kids were among the rescued kids. Roman and Uriel were dropped at my friend, Lance’s house. He was a doctor that specialises in many areas. I knew he would be able to handle them.Beom went back to the council after cursing at Azariel several times for making him worry by faking his death. The ride home was silent, the day had been tiring and I shut my eyes, taking a nap. One of the guild assassins did the driving, while Azariel laid on the back seat, exhausted.All I wanted now was to go to sleep, despite the nightmares. After some minutes, the car slowly came to a halt and my eyes snapped open.“My lord, we’ve arrived.” The assassin said as he opened the door. “I’ll be taking my leave now.”I nodded, as I glanced at Azariel who sluggishly rose up before stepping out of the car with a mumble. Ivan sighted
BRIDE OF THE BEAST LYCAN KING Flowers
Iris's POV I rose up from the flower bed, dusting off the little flowers from my dress. Was this what the afterlife looked like? This place was beautiful, which meant I had done good deeds when I was alive or I was a good person. Personally, I wouldn't call myself a good person nor would I call myself a bad person.Well…maybe the goddess had seen how I suffered on earth so she decided to take pity on me. I guess I died by hitting my head on a rock or something but I didn't remember anything. The book…I remembered the book. This wasn't the afterlife, this was a place in the book. I bit my lips in realization. What was that book? Why did it bring me here?All these questions were useless because there was no one to answer them. The main one was, how do I get out of here?I looked around, but there was no sign of any living person, just butterflies and birds. Well…I wouldn't know if there were people if I didn't check it out.I took steady steps, observing my surroundings. There were

Lucian's POV “Where did the things go?” Beom asked the boy.“They went to attend to something important before they changed our location.” Another boy answered.“I see. Don't worry, we'll get you boys to safety.” Beom said as he branded his claws. He them snapped off the chains that bounded the boys one by boy. All the boys eyes brightened as they caressed their wrist which were red as a result of the chains.“Where did the things pass when they were leaving?” Beom asked.“They said some words and the ground open, over there.” The boy from earlier answered, pointing at a corner in the room.“Do you remember the word?” “No.” He shook his head slowly.“Do any of you remember the word?” Beom faced the rest of the boys.They shook their head, meaning they didn't know what the word was.“Well…the rest of the boys were asleep when they left. They sprinkled a kind of dust, which made them asleep. I didn't inhale the dust, but I pretended to be asleep like the rest.” The boy revealed.“If

Lucian’s POV I wondered if Nikolai had an idea of what their boss was doing. I doubted it because if it were so, Baran would have informed him even if Nikolai was still a bit suspicious of him.“Your master would be very mad to know he has subordinates that are very dumb with the brain of a chicken. What a pity.” I shook my head slowly.“I promise you, your death would be slow and painful. You have been rambling for the past few minutes.” He growled.“Ah, you're mistaken. It's the other way round, it's you who has been rambling. Let's get this over with, shall we? Your disgusting smell is making me lose brain cells.” I sighed.“Lucian, what the hell are you doing? You're making him more riled up, he might hurt the boys!” Beom whispered in my ear, panicking.“Shh. Don't be a mosquito.”Beastmen were known for their awful smell, and they always get tense and angry if someone mentions it. They sometimes kill or harm those who make fun of them. Knowing how powerful they were, people knew
