The Lycan King's Cold-hearted Mate CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE
Milan gritted his teeth at the revelation from his sister. That little twat! How could she have spilled this to his sister without an iota thought to its consequences? It was supposed to be strictly between them but trust the brat to rat him out."Brother...?""Since when did you start chattering with my women behind my back without my approval, Emma?" He inquired wryly and set to attend to the ledgers in front of him which he wasn't prone to initially before she waltzed in."I merely encountered her in the..."He lifted his eyes slowly to meet her similar ones which were crinkling now with something he couldn't decipher, his suspicion further proven when she bit into her lower lip and looked down her hand below his sight down the table. He knew her well to know that was how she acted when she did something she wasn't supposed to."Encountered her where?" He knew Emilia and learned she might have ventured out of her room and gone in a direction she knew would irk him, just to spite hi

They arrived sooner in the palace and the maid literally dragged Emilia upstairs to her room, not allowing her to catch her breath.Emilia was fuming, unable to discern why this damned girl would want to deprive her of her teeth or her body parts because their blasted King was back from wherever he has been to for the past three days. According to Betty-which Emilia wasn't interested in anyways-she said the King went on a summit with his Beta for the upcoming blood moon.Emilia didn't believe any of that as those might be his form of going to see his mistress, After all, she hasn't seen the lady she came upon with him the other day, so what a coincidence!Now, out of the blues like he left, he has reemerged. And her maid wants to decapitate her for that.They soon entered her chamber and Emilia finally breathed fine. The way the girl described he was furiously searching for her, she had envisaged coming here to meet the entire palace upside down with their King raving mad as he looked

"What are you doing here, Emma?' Milan rounded on his sister whose face maintained its sly gleam as if meeting her brother here didn't make her feel nervous. Milan cocked his brow, displaying to her that he wasn't finding any of this amusing."I-I.." Emma indicated herself and then slowly thrust her finger towards Emilia ransacking her head for what to say."I summoned her," Emilia finished, and took a step forward, garnering Milan's brief skeptical glance. "We have... girl's talk." She beamed, the act sending a bout of feeling shooting through Milan. If she smiled often at him like that, he might finally develop a heart attack."You see?"His sister reeled theatrically, "I told you we are now companions.""Why couldn't you just wait a while, Emma?" Milan gritted his teeth, needles piercing his skin as his sister showed no remorse and proceeded into the room to bounce on the cushion by the window, without giving ear to his bid or showing him mercy."As you can see your time is up, King

They spent quite a lot of time in that room after the Omega came to clean it up for their usage. By the time she was done, the stifling air was replaced with a refreshed one and enough ventilation was welcomed back to the room."I think I had the best levity of my life today with you, Ms," Emma quipped as they neared the foot of that step that would lead to their different chambers.Emilia agreed with her. She did too. In fact, apart from the days she snuck off to the lake with Betty, today's level of enjoyment was beyond what she imagined and now as they reached the foot of the stairs, she knew she was going to miss the little hellion."Perchance, we should do this more often, what do you think?" the girl whipped around with hope in her eyes."Well, as far as we get to wreak havoc in the castle, then I am in!" Emilia concurred, bouncing her flamy tendrils side by side. "But on one condition..."The girl's tentacles stood. "What?""That you stop calling me Ms, and call me by my name."

"Uh...Betty?" Emilia called coming out from the washroom with the white towel wrapped around her form, using a part of it to clean beneath her ears."Yes, Ms," Betty replied, eyeing her, from arranging the new lotions and ointment the chief Omega produced from the garden floras specifically for her mistress. She handed one of the containers to Emilia who took it and started massaging through her skin as she flicked her eyes to Betty expectantly."I have been meaning to ask, where is the dungeon located?""Ms, pardon me for asking but why would such matters trouble you?"Emilia's eyes lifted in contemplation hence she shrugged casually, "If I am going to be living here for such a time as I might not know, don't you think I should know every hair and breath of this castle?"The maid seemed to be swayed and nodded quickly in comprehension, taking a napkin to wipe her hands. "It's on the Northern part of the palatial grounds. Strictly out of bounds to anyone but the King, his Beta and his

The rosebush was more like a sacred part of the palace that was rarely used by anyone in the palace except the royal family and even now while they meandered into it, Betty was more or less looking like a lost ghost. She couldn't seem to lace her hand on the sin she committed to land her with someone as audacious and brash as her mistress."Ms, it isn't too late to change our mind. The King would not be receptive to this idea at all..." She tried again.Emilia snorted nonchalantly. "Hold this!" She stashed her shawl and bonnet on the girl's arm and looked around. "Look around to make sure we are the only ones here and trust me Betty I will never hurt you, so when I transform do not be frightened by what you see, okay?""Why should I be? I am also a werewolf even if I am an omega and my wolf makes me ashamed at times.""Just don't panic, Betty." Emilia huffed and started taking off her dress, somewhat delighted that unlike every other part of the castle, the guards were exempted from p

The moment Milan said her name, Emilia's wolf went still, though still baring her fangs in fury, but her body became stiff. He knew she was the one. How? Perhaps because he read through her defense of him?So many thoughts whirled in her head as they stared at each, man to wolf. And by now, his eye color was starting to go back to normal and her body was beginning to relax. Then she stuck out her tongue and licked his face once. She didn't even know why she did that.He patted her by her side and then his eyes went behind. Only then did she start coming back to her senses. She slowly pushed away from him and turned about and to her chagrin, the lady from before was sprawled on the ground in a faint.Her ears perked in agitation. Could it be that she has killed another?"Camila?" Milan rushed to the girl and as a matter of fact, it irked Emilia seeing him so disturbed about another woman like that despite knowing that the said woman might more or less be dead by now because of her. And
The Lycan King's Cold-hearted Mate CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT
That night, ten years ago, when Emilia left her father's mansion, it rained heavily. It was under that rain, she ran, crying, shaking with nowhere in mind as she ran deep into the forest. The only thing her young mind was thinking at that moment was of her mother. The woman was crying as she ordered her to run to safety. And even after three days without food or water, only sleeping under the shed of a giant tree back then, Emilia didn't think of anything else, not even sustenance. Her father's face, her mother's smiles, it was like a torment that crushed her heart and like life was heckling her, it made her sleepless. This night as night fell and the night halls fell silent, she looked through her window at the dark clouds, counting the moment when she would make her exit. and just like that night, it happened at once, a mighty thunder shattered the quiet of the night and at its wake, the heavens opened and rain came down. She wasn't expecting it. There was no sign of it. Yet, Emi

57Emilia starts to fume. “What do you mean, and why the hell are you arrogant?” She asks Milan.“I am just so sure that you are reasonable, Emilia. I saw that in you a long time ago, most especially when we were both in the woods together, and I told you that you could be in so much danger if you stayed in the woods on your own.” Milan says.Emilia glares at him and shakes her head internally. This guy does not even know shit about her; he does not know half of what she is capable of.Well, it is a good thing that he does not- it will make him definitely let his guard down just when she needs it to be down.“Fine.” She says.“Good girl,” Milan mutters under his breath.“What did you just say?” Emilia asks.“Nothing. I said, ‘thank you’.” Milan says.They both keep riding, and although this is the first time Emilia is riding a horse, she seems proficient at it. Milan is very surprised.“Are you sure this is your first time on a horse?” He asks as they ride side by side.“Yup,” Emilia

The two of them say nothing to each other. Instead, they just stare at the lake. Minute after minute, hour after hour passes, and they are silent.After a while, Emilia looks at Milan. “Don’t you have something else to do besides sitting here with me?” She asks.“I cleared my schedule.” Milan tells her.“I see.” Emilia says and looks away.“I really want us to go horseriding together, why are you punishing me by refusing?” Milan asks.Emilia says nothing.“You are clearly still mad at me.” Milan points out. “I can see that you are punishing me for my actions.” He says.“I am glad you can see that.” Emilia replies.“So, the daffodils are not even going to save me?” He asks with a smile.“No.” Emilia says and keeps atring at the lake. “Why do you want to go horseriding with me?” She asks Milan.‘Because I want you to be free.” Milan answers.Emilia scoffs. “Free? Free?” She asks incredulously.“Yes, free.” Milan replies.“You are so funny. How could I be free while horseriding in this p

"As a guest of the palace irrespective of your peerage, it's expected that your carriage should introduce you before you say a word to another," Mrs. Worthington went on saying, with Emilia slouched in her seat, counting her fingers to the time when their blasted lesson would end."I thought by today we would be gone past your wrong posture," The woman sighed, tapping her temples dramatically. "But from what I see, it seems to have worsened from the past."No word from Emilia. In fact, the only word she had said in this class was to greet Mrs. Worthington when she came into the room."You might need a ladies ' pamphlet to aid you.""What!" The first word Emilia was uttering. "Why do I need a pup's pamphlet? I am an adult!""Then behave like one, Young Ms. You hardly show any motivation for wanting to learn, demanding I do all I can to make sure you are on point with my admonitions.""Well, why not quit?" Emilia mumbled under her breath."I beg your pardon?""Nothing, Ma'am." Emilia sl
The Lycan King's Cold-hearted Mate 53
After playing their games of chess and constituting nuisance that even made the maids to come to inform Emma that her mother sought her presence, Emilia was finally escorted back to her chambers.She envisaged the presence of Milan more than she wanted to believe, and even planned to confront him about his trick that morning in deceiving her into believing that he was sincerely repentant.But, when she got to the room, he wasn't there. She went into her room and went into the washroom to quickly soak herself there for a few minutes, coming out only when the water had gone cold.She went back to her room wrapped in a clean white towel, sat on the chair in front of her vanity table rubbing the new rose oil that Betty brought in for her, when the door opened and slammed loudly.Emilia's eyes impulsively flicked to the adjoining door which she left open when she came in initially-without knowing why-and saw no one.But from the way the hairs at the nape of her neck rose, and her nose pick

“You are right.” Milan says as they continue fencing. “I have to stop breathing down her neck.” He adds.“A woman like that needs her space.” Zane says. “I have no idea why you both are always at loggerheads, because as complex as Emilia seems, she is very easy to understand.”“I understand what you are trying to say, Zane, but I must confess that it is not as easy as you are making it seem.” Milan says. “As much as I try, I just end up annoying her.” He adds.“You just have to be patient with her.” Zane says and they finish fencing. “If you leave her alone, she will learn to trust you, and I can assure you that she will most likely fall in love with this place and not run away again.” He adds.“I will do this, and I really hope that it works.” Milan says with a deep sigh.“So, we’ll see tomorrow, yeah?” Zane asks as they are about tro part ways.“Yeah, tomorrow.” Milan says and goes back into the Mansion. As he walks back to his suite, he asks one of the guards to go inform Emma that

50“Emilia, you did really well today.” Mrs. Worthington says to Emilia as soon as the class is over. “I am glad that I am beginning to rob off on you.” She adds.Emilia sighs softly. “When is my next class?” She asks.“It is in two days, Emilia, and I really hope to see you.” Her teacher says.“Fine,” Emilia says and waltzes out of the room. She has been listening to that uptight woman for a long two hours, and all she needs now is a glass of milk, some cookies, and a great deal of sleep.Thus, she goes into the kitchen to get some cookies and milk that she is craving.“Hello, Betty!” Emilia says immediately she sees Betty in the kitchen.“Emilia!” Betty says and hugs her. “How was your class?” She asks.“What do you think?” Emilia rolls her eyes and starts to put some of the recently-baked chocolate cookies on a plate.“From the look of things, the class did not go well,” Betty says with a smile on her round face.Emilia scoffs. “Tell me about it. It was as boring as hell. It took e

49“Not again,” Emilia mutters to herself.“Did I hear you say something?” Penelope asks.“No.” Emilia says.“Good.” Penelope says. “Now, back to my question, why are you still talking to Emma?” She asked.“Because I like to talk to her,” Emilia replies.“I see. Milan, did you hear that?” She asks.“Yes, I did.” Milan replies to his mother.“And what do you have to say about it?” She asks.“Nothing.” Milan says. “Who am I to control who she talks to?”Emilia looks at him in surprise. She knows that he has promised to do better by her, but she had no idea he would stand up to his mother. She sends him a grateful glance, and he smiles softly.Dinner continues without any hitch, and Emilia is glad. As soon as she is done, Emilia steps out of the dining hall and into her room. Just a few minutes after settling down in her room, ther eis a knock on her door. Emilia assumes that it is Emma, so she does not even ask who it is.She is however surprised to see McMilan.“Milan?” She calls out.
