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
That tight slap left Lucien speechless. In his decades of life, no one had ever raised his hand against him let alone a woman. Lucien whipped his head back, eyes glowed in rage as he growled at Isabella who was still in state of anger," What is this behavior of yours, Mate? Do not forget that I am your husband and your king."Isabella let out a hilarious laughter. His words only incited her anger. Gritting her teeth together, she streched out her hand to slap for the second time but this time, it was gripped by Lucien fiercely.Talking about his werewolf strength, it was unbelievable. Isabella flinched in pain from his tight gripping but didn't let her spirit down. Looking back into his eyes with ferocity, she replied sneering at him coldly," You are no king to me, Lucien. You are the king of those beasts but not mine. In regards of slapping you, I did the right thing. As long as you won't learn to take responsibility of your wife, I won't hesitate to slap you again. Since you are s
Mrs. Mitchell grimaced before retorting sharply," She isn't your fated mate. You claimed her, Lucien. Why do you have to put yourself in danger for her? Why.. must.."Lucien's voice cut off putting an end on their baseless argument," I did what felt right to me. I make law, mother. I am the king and I know my packs the best. So please stop interfering into my decision always."Lucien left after giving his final words. Mrs. Mitchell parted her lips open in disbelief. Lucien never went against her words. All this happened because of that useless human who invaded into their life from nowhere.****Late night fell down over the city quickly. Lucien was busy with his papers, played some cool music to relive his fresh mind. His mother had gone too far today, talking like he should have left Isabella to them. This statement annoyed him and his wolf for no particular reason absolutely.He wasn't in love with her but she was his mate even it's for quite sometime!Vincent knocked on his stud
The man took a delibaret pause between his talking. Rubbing on his thigh slowly, he resumed turning his eyes darker in shade," If you insist on behaving tricky with me, I will show you hell. So behave untill your dearest hubby appeares in my sight."If she had the chance of shooting her own head, Isabella would have done it already. Not only she had to marry a beast, bow she was kidnapped by another rogue for becoming his wife.But what was he talking about? What did he mean giving his wolf back? Wasn't he a werewolf like Lucien?Isabella began to wonder inside her mind and solemnly prayed that Lucien would appear on time. Though her kidnapper didn't make any move, she was still feeling like a prey under his heated eyes.Fortunately her wish had become true not long after. Right after the man had spoken his empty words, the door once again flew open bangingly. Shook by the sudden thunderous sound, Isabella trembled lightly before peering her head at the sight.Lucien's handsome face
Isabella was always sharp with her words when it came to speak truthfully. Watching his face turning grimace, she wanted to get down from his car fast. But this time, she was pulled back by her head from back.A painful gasp came through her lips.Lucien had grabbed her from back by her silky hairs roughly. The impact was so painful that she let out a whine. Her face turned and made sure that her hazel eyes were glaring into his ruthless one deeply.Lucien stressed on his words angrily," You better keep your mind when you talk to me, Isabella. If I ask you to call me by my name, you should do it without arguing back with me. You know what? I don't give a damn on your little logics".Tears gathered up in Isabella's eyes. No one absolutely ever treated her so badly. Lucien was like a volcano, ready to brust out anytime. Her eyes battled with the tears as she spoke through her parted lips," Even if.. you.. don't..tell me...Your action speaks more than your words, King Lucien."As if rea
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
