Half an hour, they spent in awkward silence. Lucien's anger kept rising up and she appeared like some hungry, angry beast who would pounce at you anytime soon. Such feeling was suffocating But Isabella was being patience with him. She assumed that he needed moments like this to control his emotions or feelings.During this short time, her hands streched out countless times to grab his hands but she just couldn't do it. There was an invisible wall between them which made her feeling like she shouldn't do certain things with him. Taking another close attention of his pale face, Isabella couldn't just stay normal anymore.Isabella streched out her hand to place it on his shoulders. Lucien's body relaxed under her touch. Like water in the fire, his muscles relaxed and she could tell that his breathing was getting normal.Lucien finally parted his lips to speak. Turning his head aside, he looked into her astounded eyes before saying," The calligraphy explains a scene that happened in the
Two days had passed in Quinton since the attack had happened. Vincent had appointed his best spies to look for the murderer but nothing was found so far as if the man had disappeared in air. As they had no witness to clarify the situation, it was hard to detect the man who came to kill Isabella. But their investigation went on in full spirit.Isabella wasn't doing well. The guilt and remorse were engulfing not her body but soul too. Hedy was gone because of her. She should be the one to be killed like that way but an innocent life was gone. Lucien was being extra careful with his behavior. He made sure that Isabella ate and slept well. In night, he would hold her in his arms to make sure that he felt safe. He enjoyed this harmonious feeling between them but at the same time, he feared that it wouldn't last long.That night, he placed Isabella to sleep before coming out of their room. Vincent had just returned from his investigation trails and met Lucien outside of his study. Lucien sp
Uneasiness occupied his soul when he returned to his own empty room. As if the silence was killing him, he walked over to pour few glass of red wine for his restless mind. The kiss with Ikaya was an accident and he never inteneded to cheat on this marriage. With the chaos happening inside his head, he nearly forgot to pay attention on the main disturbance. Though Isabella knew nothing of it, he slapped Ikaya right after she kissed him. His mind drifted back to the moment when Ikaya held her chin and ran away crying with a broken heart. Whatever happened between them, he shouldn't have slapped Ikaya that way. More importantly, he shouldn't have let her kiss him. It made him disgusted on himself.Warm liquid followed down to his stomach and relaxed his tensed muscles. Right after he devoured two glasses, Vincent knocked on his door. Permitting him to enter lowly, Lucien turned around groggily to know what had gone wrong again.Vincent seemed to ponder in deep thoughts. Showing respect t
I heard that you have injured my mother?", Lucien's voice echoed out a bit coldly. Isabella had just gotten rid of her dirty clothes when he appeared behind her back without any noise. She wasn't startled like before and being his wife after months, she had already gotten used of his superpowers.Isabella shrugged, turning and not wanting to hide the scoff on her face," It wasn't intentional. She did it first and attacked me knowingly. I was just protecting myself. Why, are you mad, your Highness?"Lucien didn't reply to her questions immediately. Staring deep into her eyes for a while, he let out a heavy exhale before approaching her slowly. Isabella knitted her eyebrows nervously. His eyes were dark and mysterious, defined that he wasn't happy with her action. Before few more words could roll out of her voice, Lucien gripped her arms before turning her around.Her lips parted, letting out a loud gasp. Ever since they had their sex, his touches always felt magical on her. So magical
Elena nodded walking around numbly," Yes, each year all the unmated werewolves joined the ball in order to find their fated mate by the moon Goddess. After turning 18, everyone must need to join the ball every year until they find their soulmate. I joined the ball for the first time after turning 18."Elena's eyes moistened as emotions overpowered her soul and was making her emotional," I still remember the day when I was standing near the edge of river. The ball had started and my wolf was restless when Moon Goddess was shining right above our heads. I heard Vincent's footsteps in my back. When I gave up and thought that my mate wouldn't appeare in this mate ball, everything changed in my life. Once our eyes connected, we both recognized each others as mate."Elena paused between her words with a smile as if she was relieving those moment. Isabella frowned strangely at her words. Her curiosity sparked more as she questioned her," Then..how did you marry someone else? I heard that
Her tears fell down relentlessly. As a normal human being, it was hard for her to accept that her body was evaporating unnatural powers. She was scared to figure out that something was wrong with her. Lucien glanced at her lovingly. Pulling her into a hug, he coaxed her gently," Hush! There is nothing wrong with you. Whatever you are, I will be always there for you. Do you believe that?"He promised and at the same time clutched the hairclip in his grip tightly. It belonged to Ikaya undoubtedly. He had seen on her hairs many times before. Things were getting much clearer but he needed more solid evidences to prove them guilty.His hug comforted her soul and mind. Wiping the corner of her eyes, she questioned him worryingly," What are you going to do with Ikaya?"This had always been a question in his mind. Regardless of their feeling, Ikaya was his best friend. For once at least, he cared for her but he had to keep up with the justice. Isabella could have died if she wasn't that muc
Lucien dropped his eyes over the scattered papers. Taking a moment to stable his emotions, he muttered slowly," I..I don't.. know.. Elena.. It's just..I am gradually feeling something to her..She..she gives me comfort.. But you know..I can't ruin her life.."He felt a squeeze in his palms. Elena spoke caressing the back of his thumb to transfer a little comfort," Have you heard from her, Lucien? What if she wants to work on this marriage with you? What if she finds you worthy of being husband? Love requires nothing but mutual understanding, brother. If your heart is yearning for her but not Ikaya, you should follow your heart. No one can forces your heart."Lucien remained quite after her suggestions. Letting out an exhausted sigh, he assured mustering up the courage to speak with Isabella," I understand, Elena. I will speak to her today."Elena smiled contentedly on his face. She was glad that she decided to make a trip. If she arrived few months later, the queen mother would have
Lucien wondered before sitting up to bring out the first aid from a nearby drawer. Isabella watched in daze as he applied some soothing ointment on her little scars. She couldn't deny that warm feeling coursing from her heart.Feeling the warmth between them, Isabella mustered up the courage to ask him softly as much as possible," Your mother.. She isn't happy with you because of today's accident..I..I feel guilty.."Lucien looked up at her strangely. Her eyes were hanging low thus she failed to notice the sudden emotions blazing from his hooded eyes. Lucien responseded softly, going slow on her scars," You don't have to because I did everything willingly like you said.."Lucien took a pause between his words abruptly before resuming in a husky voice," I should take responsibility of my wife."Isabella's eyes shot up to fell on him strangely. She didn't expect that Lucien someone so docile like him would take on her words so seriously.Isabella exhaled a blissful sigh. He was in m
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
