Even though they were in same room, Lucien slept separately as Lucien took the couch. Isabella noticed the discomfort that he felt laying in the couch. His legs were long and couldn't be fit in the couch. That made his sleeping position uncomfortable and Isabella wandered what could be done for him.But he was a fast sleeper. Before her slow brain could come up with a decent reason, he fell asleep under her hesitant eyes. Having no choice, Isabella had to give up on that night. After a short discussion, she assured him that she would go to meet the people from his realm tomorrow.****Mrs. Mitchell wasn't happy with Lucien's decision. Ikaya who just knew about the queen's meeting, she burnt in jealousy but heavy workload of Lucien's office kept her busy around four walls.Lucien made her an enchanting v neck long black gown. She was looking elegant and breathtaking at the same time. Her long black silky hairs were cascaded down, clung onto her skin as she made her way outside.Lucien
Isabella furrowed her brows together, tried to get through his words but Draco appeared like having an inner battle in spouting the last part of his words. Then his lips parted once again with a frustrated sigh," The council house won't approve you. Therefore he can't even be a ..."" I never knew that my cousin has so much free time at this hour.", Lucien's voice rang from their back, starling both of them from back. Isabella whipped her head back to see Lucien walking over to them.His one hand fisted inside his pocket, he was speaking with a mysterious smile. Draco hung his head low after his arrival and no longer continued his speaking." Your Majesty! ", Draco greeted before tilting his head up to glance at Lucien. His gaze were calm and composed which made it hard to detect what was going on inside his mind.Realizing the silent glare from Lucien, Draco cleared his throat awkwardly before saying," I was just chatting with Isabella. She is new here and is feeling bored. Nothing
Hedy clicked out her tongue hardly. She badly wished that she could keep her words buried but the crime had been committed already. Isabella's track slightly halted before touching the ground.She whipped her head aside. Brows tightening together,she blurted out shockingly," What??? What..did you just say?"She heard crystal clear but a part of her wished that she heard it wrong. It was already bad enough for her to marry a creature like werewolf. Now, hearing out from Hedy that how ill reputated person Lucien was only reminding her that how screwed up she was here.Hedy pressed her lips together silently. Isabella held her gaze on Hedy, wished to know more about the man that she married but an yelling tone echoed out from the indoor area of Castle," Hedy... Your pup is missing..Come to find her.."Hedy's eyes widened apart slightly. Panicking, she apologised to Isabella before scurrying away," Hold on a second, My Lady. I think that my daughter has run out from the castle again."
|| RECOMMENDED SONG: Lips On You By Maroon 5 ||In her entire lifetime, Isabella didn't expect that she would actually kiss someone from her own initiative. The idea seemed utterly stupid but his lips on her didn't feel awkward in reality. Lucien was yet to proceed what just happened but she disengaged their lips too fast when reality hit her. But the feeling was amazing. His lips were soft, more likely a piece of butter slice with a little mix of strawberry fragnance. Though she had her doubt on its naturality, she wouldn't have minded if it continued a bit longer. For a woman like her who just lost her first kiss, Isabella was burning in shame fever. All the wished that the ground could swallow her whole.As the kiss lasted more than seconds, Lucien had gotten back to reality quite fast. His wolf huffed in excitement after their first proximity. All it wanted to come in surface and made his eternal claim on her.Lucien swallowed dropping his blank gaze on her emb
Isabella was stupified for a few moments. Lucien was so close to her face that one single movement,their lips would crash against each others.Was he being serious here? Would he really tell her everything if she kissed him?Isabella's brows drew together tightly. Taking a glimpse of his alcohol, she exhaled a soft sigh and muttered frowning at his demanding face," You are drunk, Lucien. You shouldn't speak like that."God knows how many glass that he had devoured so far! Lucien was frustrated ever since they had their meeting with those Alphas. They reminded him of his painful memories that haunted him even in sleep. He was depressed and didn't even bother to count how many glasses he had devoured so far.As the time passed away, its aftermath effect had began terrible slowly. Isabella figured it out fast. As a proud man like Lucien, he would never ask a kiss from her like this. Besides why would he tell that? He had someone else in his heart, isn't it?Lucien mumbled,his conscious
RECOMMENDED SONG: Lie To Me By TaTa McRae & Alie GatieQuinton had the best evening sight that one could ever see in her life time. That's how Isabella felt witnessing her first sunset here in Quinton. Her memories drifted away to the moment when she pushed Lucien away from her. It was not like she didn't like being cuddled by her hot smoky husband. A part of her heart feared that if they shared more moment, she would fall into this relationship deeper. Prevention is better than cure. But she noticed something during that moment. Once she refused his touch, a look of hurt flashed across his heated eyes.Why did he look so pained? Did he expect something else from her?Isabella's thoughts snapped when she heard Hedy's ringing voice behind her. Turning around, she found her holding her purple short gown for the evening. Hedy gestured with a smile," My Lady, it's ready."Isabella looked at her reflection into the mirror unblinkingly. She appeared more civilized today in comp
All the Alphas eyes were stuck on Isabella who definitely asked for a good beating. As a werewolf, they obviously knew how possessive an Alpha could be over his mate. Kissing someone else in front of Lucien had only one meaning to dig your own grave.Damon was too pleased with the outcome. Now if Isabella made a repulsive move, their truth would be coming out in front light. The news of Isabella being the claimed mate of Lucien was still a secret to other Alphas. In werewolf realm, claimed mate and fated mate had two other literal meaning. A fated mated was someone with whom a werewolf couldn't break his bond ever but in regards of claimed mate, that particular werewolf would have always the chance of breaking his bond.Damon wanted to prove their truth in front of everyone wisely that they weren't actual fated mate. If they were truly fated, Lucien would surely loose his temper and create havoc here. Madeline blinked her eyes and held her breath in anticipation. She was eager to know
Everyone focused their attention on the doorway once the voice reverberated throughout the hallway. Isabella was the first one to whip her head back surprisingly. She wondered who was so generous to speak for her in werewolves relam.Her eyes were little surprised to find a beauty in skyblue gown. Her posture was elegant. With her hairs tied into a bun behind her head, her collarbone was much more highlighted which increased her beauty two times higher. She was smiling at the crowd but her sharp words cut like dagger into Ikaya's heart whose expression paled after spotting the woman on the doorway.Lucien called out a name shockingly," Elena!!"Elena Xander Mitchell, the first cousin of Lucien had come to visit the castle after a decade of her husband's demise. After Lucien having a human mate news had spreaded throughout the kingdom, Elena found it necessary to make an appearance. After all, she knew what could be possibly going on in the castle. She was so busy in handling her own
Lisa didn't turn her face back to ensure her assumptions. She continued walking without turning back and stopped only after she found Ronica's Prison.Ronica grinned at her widely when she saw Lisa coming in and assured with a smile," Come faster, Lisa. They aren't here anymore."Lisa nodded her head hurriedly and went up to unlock the gate hastily. Her mind went wildly when the thought of being caught came across her mind.She opened the prison door cautiously and tiptoed over Ronica who was chained badly. A sympathy flashed across her eyes as she bent down to unwrap her chain and spoke in a sorry voice," It must be very hard for you! Look at you! They are so cruel."Ronica gave her a half smile and breathed in her first heir of freedom after Lisa removed the chain from her body. Ronica stood up holding her palms together and spoke out with gratitude for saving her life," I don't know how to thank you, Lisa. If you didn't let me out, perhaps I would have died in this prison one da
It was evening time when she came down to inform her parents that she would be heading off for Caroline's house today. Caroline assured her to send off soon. After that trumatised incident, she began to spend more and more time with others to erase such fearsome thoughts from her mind.His dad stared at her flying back blankly. His old wrinkled face contoured in worry. A helpless sigh came out from his lips. Hanging his head down lowly, he fell in dillemma untill Mrs. Adams tapped on his shoulders. Glancing up at her husband worryingly, she asked in a low voice," Have you told her yet? I..I am sure that she will understand us."Mr.Adams shook his head denying. He knew his daughter too well. Apart from being sensitive, she was too stubborn and adamant to focus on her perfect career only. There was no way out that she would agree to get married with him so soon.Things had happened according to Lucien's plan. Just a day ago, he met Isabella's father personally and showed his intention
" Do you take Lucien Xander Mitchell as your lawfully wedded husband, Miss Isabella Adams?", the priest chanted the last question of their vows.Isabella stood there absentmindedly. The day of their wedding had come sooner than she expected. As soon as her father sent the message to Lucien that they were agreed with his proposal more likely a business deal, Lucien made no delay in marriage. Right after two days later on, their wedding venue were arranged simply outside of Isabella's house. Her parents wandered why did Lucien wanted to keep the wedding a secret. Appearently he was the infamous CEO of town right away. His followers would have gone insane in happiness that their honourable CEO was finally married. But they had no other choice but to follow Lucien's order. Except Caroline and Mia, only few neighbors were present as the audience of their wedding.Drapped in a long transparent milk-white veil, Isabella was looking like a fairy from tales. The blue diamond necklace around he
Her chest tightened in pain. She just wanted to yell at her own fate that why was she destined to marry a creature. On the contrary, Lucien was having the exact opposite reaction. His wolf howled in joy, purred in extreme happiness when his mate finally agreed to become his officially. Not much Lucien's human side cared too much since he had inserted the thought inside his mind that everything was happening just because they had a faithful mate bond.Cheers of clap thundered around when the event came to an end. Isabella forced a smile for the audience out there. Caroline and Mia were extremely happy for their best friend. Coming over to greet the newly wedded couple, Caroline couldn't help but shamelessly taking her credit," Look, Look! I just did a perfect match. Come on, brother-in-law. You both should give me a treat."Lucien pulled his lips into a smile. Indeed if Caroline didn't invite Isabella in her home party, nothing would have happened between them. To show respect to his
The position made her body stiffening in embarrassment eternally. He was standing between her parted thighs. His shoulders tensed up as he trapped her between his two slender arms. His eyes gleamed in unknown anger, ready to brust out but for some reason, he was taking slow pace.His order rang in her ears, enough to feel a shiver running through her spine. Isabella cursed herself for forgetting the fact that she was dealing with a beast not a human. From the scornful heat of his eyes, she could assume that how much her words angered him.Lucien demanded for another command again, getting impatient over this weeping silence between them," REPEAT! "His hoarse voice shook her body lightly. Her feet shuffled together uncomfortably. A part of her wanted to yell back at him but it would only bring dangers upon her. Isabella muttered after taking a lungful breath as her encouragement," I just spitted the truth. We..we aren't meant for each others."She spoke before lifting her head up t
The aftereffect of her dream left her breathless. Isabella's eyes flew open widely, terror flushed on her expression. Out of her consciousness, a shine layer of thin sweat formed on her forehead.Isabella sat up breathlessly. Her breathing turned erratic as she tried to process what she saw in her dream. The dream felt so real as if she was transformed into another world, into another person. The satisfaction that she felt for stabbing Lucien was definitely weird. She never believed in killing people or seeking revenge on someone.Was it all just a bad dream or a hint of her future?As the thoughts clouded her mind, Isabella looked outside at the sky blankly. A loneliness creepted through her mind when she found herself all alone after waking up from a nightmare. Until yesterday, she was imagining of having someone in her life who would wake up by her side each morning. But now everything was nothing but a wishful thought only. In the end,she was all alone in this marriage.After putt
The entire ride towards her university was silent. Ever since she learnt from Lucien that Ikaya wasn't his girlfriend but fiancee, Isabella had the feeling of running back to her house. All the while, she felt like a home wrecker who suddenly barged in their blissful life.Lucien was driving the car personally. From time to time, he noticed how absentminded she was. Isabella was snapped back to reality once she heard his car horning. Swiping her gaze around, she found that they had nearly arrived at her university.Isabella kept unbuckling her seatbelt then heard Lucien's cold voice," Keep our marriage secret from public. I don't want to get you into trouble."His careless voice reminded her once again that they were in a contract marriage literally. Without meeting his eyes, Isabella responded mumbling on her words," Yes, Your Highness! "Lucien snapped his head back to narrow his gaze on her slightly. Though everyone addressed him with respect, such respective words from her sound
Lucien strode through the elevator with a stern face. One hand holding the tablet, he was scrolling through the latest news of capital where the news of his marriage with Isabella made several headlines. His jaw clenched and eyes snapped behind to glare at Vincent who was as surprised as he was," How did all happen?"Lucien tried to conceal the news for the sake of Isabella's safety. Though he was living in mortal world, his enemies were everywhere. If Isabella was just another werewolf, it wouldn't have been a issue for him. But she was human and weak by nature. His enemies would definitely make her as their sole target. He wanted to keep her secret as long as possible. Letting others know about his human mate would definitely invite unnecessary troubles. Nevertheless to save that his relam was still unware about their new queen.Vincent replied shaking his head unknowingly," I don't know, Milord. I have closed all the way of leaking this news. There is only one possiblity left tha
Lucien entered into the scene right after the car had taken her away. Stepping out of the car,he could hear his mate bond getting weakened for no reason. His scornful eyes swiped across the surrounding but there was no proximity of Isabella nearby. His wolf spatted inside his mind.Mate. Help. Danger! His jaw clenched in anger when Vincent searched around and learnt the news that Isabella had came out of the lesson very first. She should be waiting for him outside of University but she was gone from there.Tensed contoured his face not long after. Seeking for her location one more time, Lucien reconfirmed that she had gone missing. His biggest fear had finally come true.Ikaya stood away from them with a tight frown. She hated to see that Lucien was all worried for that human girl. Her jaw clenched but she had nothing to do rather than tolerating.Vincent looked up at his lord worryingly. His expression was stormy as if he was so ready to kill someone. Taking a deep breath to stable
