Chapter 31HopeI woke up to a headache. My entire body ached. I sat up on my bed with a sigh. I turned to look through the window and saw that it was already dawn. I suddenly became alert. What time was it? Why didn't Kyle wake me up for training?As I was about to stand up from the bed, I noticed that my shoulders were heavy. I threw my head down to check and saw that I was wearing a jacket. A heavy one that did not belong to me.Darius.I pulled the jacket off of me in an instant as memories of what happened last night replayed inside my head. I facepalmed myself at the thought. "I can't believe that I did all of that." I said to myself with a shameful tone.I wondered what he was going to do to me today. I called him out so ruthlessly. Was he going to finally send me away or maybe even kill me me? I shook the thought from my head. If he wanted to do either of the two, he would have done them already.What was he waiting for? What did he even want? I stopped to think. Did it even ma

Chapter 32HopeOnce we got to my room, Gwendolyn and I fell Kyle onto my bed. Ignoring the blood on my sheets, I walked over to my dresser to take out the first-aid kit in there that had been put when I had injuries on my feet."Help me turn him around," I said to Gwendolyn. Not needing to be told twice, she held onto Kyle's other side and we both flipped him around so that his front was against the bed, and his back facing us. As I got a good look at his injuries, my stomach churned in disgust. His back was designed in slash marks with no exception of any part. Monsters. Those people that did this were monsters. The ones who watched it happen were even bigger monsters. And my husband who ordered it all was the worst of them all.I poured the entire bottle of alcohol on his back and Kyle screamed in pain. I flinched, somehow being able to feel his pain as well. After that, I helped clean the wounds and wrapped the entire thing with bandages.Kyle fell asleep sometime while I was cle

Chapter 33Hope"What do you want?" I asked Darius, pushing out my chest to seem unafraid of him. Unfortunately, I was actually afraid but I hoped that he couldn't tell.His eyes darted to Kyle, who suddenly became alert and wanted to stand up. I pressed my hand on one of his shoulder, holding him down from standing up."What are you doing here? Why aren't you at the training grounds?" Darius asked Kyle with an agitated tone, totally ignoring me.I frowned. "He's not going back there," I said to Darius.Darius didn't even glance my way as he marched into the room and attempted to pull Kyle up. "Get to the training grounds, right now." Darius ordered. I took a step in front of Kyle, blocking him. "I said, he's not going back there. And what are you even doing here? Nobody invited you in." I mentally gave myself a pat on the back for being able to stand my ground against Darius like this.For the first time since he walked into the room, he met my eyes. "Are you fucking him?" Darius a

Chapter 34HopeI was wrong. It was stupid of me in the first place to think that Commander would ever change. After her whole apology that day, I walked into the training grounds a week after when Kyle was all better and it was like the apology never happened at all. Commander still treated me the same way.The only difference was that this time, I didn't swallow down all her antiques. She thought that she would be able to push me to the wall and I wouldn't do anything. That was before. Now I knew that no matter how badly everyone wanted me out of this place, they couldn't get me out. And I was going to use that piece of information to my advantage.Right now, I was practicing with a dummy. A moving one which I had to block the attacks of. And one which was set at full speed, courtesy of the commander. On a normal day, I shouldn't even be sparring with a dummy at full speed but since I happened to piss Darius off at dinner last night, I didn't need anyone to tell me that Commander wa

Chapter 35KyleI hated this. I thought I had escaped this life of war when I had been assigned as my lady's guard. But I was back to it. After a hard day of training, there was ale and forgetting all the worries of the day.Things were a bit different. Now, I wasn't friends with everyone and wasn't allowed to lose myself in the safety of my friends. As I took a swig of ale from my glass, I noticed a few of the men in the barhouse were staring at me with malicious intent clearly written behind their eyes."Don't pay them any mind, my friend," Soren threw an arm over my shoulder, laughing a bit. I used my free hand to pull his sweat-soaked arm off my shoulder, all while he was still laughing, along with the other guys who had noticed our interaction. "Why are you in such a sour mood?" Kirk asked, raising brow as he took a swig of his ale."I am supposed to be on duty." I said with a gruff tone.It took them all three seconds to burst into a unified laughter at my expense. I didn't kn

Chapter 36Hope"Look here, princess. It is too late and I am too tired to deal with your antiques for today. If you really want to raise up this matter this night, take it up with your husband." Orion said to me with a hint of tiredness in his tone."You look well and able to answer my question. So please do." I stretched my lips wide.Orion sighed heavily, then pinched his nose, as though he were thinking of a quick and efficient way to get rid of me. Like he shook all those thoughts out from his head, he dropped down his hand and pressed his palms against each other."Good night, princess." He said quickly, sidestepped me and attempted to go up the stairs. I quickly jumped two steps ahead of him and pitched right in front of him, blocking his way.He sidestepped me once again, I closed the gap and blocked his way. We did this a few more times till he got the hint that I wasn't going anywhere till he answered my question."All this time that you've been spending to throw me off, you

Chapter 37HopeI ground my teeth in anger as I watched Annalise crawl off my husband's body naked. Darius, himself, seemed to be naked as well but luckily for my eyes, the second Annalise crawled off him, he covered his lower half with the sheets.I felt like any moment from now, my teeth would crack because of how hard I was grinding them. My fists were clenched so hard with my nails digging deep into my palms. With any luck, I would soon start bleeding."I have to talk to you." I said to Darius, blatantly ignoring Annalise who was sitting on the other side of his bed with her legs crossed, wearing nothing but shamelessness.Darius frowned at me. "You want to talk at this time of the night?""Yes, I do," I replied immediately. I felt like if I didn't confront him now, all my rage and confidence would elude me and I wouldn't be able to confront him another day."That would be considered rude, my dear Hope. As you can see, Darius and I were in the middle of something." Annalise spoke

Chapter 38HopeThe last time I saw Darius like this was the other day when he had been upset with me about Kyle. But this time there was no one here to tell me to run or bear the brunt of Darius' aggressiveness but me."Let go of me!" I tried to wrestle myself free from his rough hold but he didn't budge one inch."I said try again, princess. It seems I've been too lenient on you which is why you have the audacity to slap me twice in the span of a month." Darius' voice sounded husky and harsh. Like he was not himself.I wasn't a fool not to know that his Lycan side had taken over. What I didn't know what how much time I had till the beast cut my head off my body. "Just let go of me. I've said all I wanted to say to you so leave me be." I lowered the pitch of my voice, hoping that it would somehow tune down Darius' anger. It didn't. "That is not what I said you should do, princess! You've been acting all high and mighty these days, parading around with that lover of yours, and now yo

The Lycan King's Substitute Wife Epilogue
An excerpt from the diary of the last Vitalis Princess to ever marry a Lycan King:My name is Hope Vitalis-Moratis. I am the last Vitalis princess to get married to a Lycan King. Hundreds of years ago, humans were the only superior species on Earth. However, Lycans suddenly invaded the earth and dominated humans—this is what is written in the history books.The truth is that, more than thousands of years ago, humans and Lycans lived in peace. But humans grew afraid and envious of Lycans who were more talented, stronger, and powerful than them. They all put out their hands to drive away Lycans and surpress them within a hidden kingdom known as Moratia. Many years after, a Lycan King decided to change history by coming out of the shadows and breaking out from the hidden Kingdom, making it known to everyone.The king did this with the help of a powerful witch who only appeared when the situation suited her. Thus, this particular Lycan King and his descendants punished humans for drivin

HopeI could sense everything and nothing at the same time. I could hear everything and nothing. I could feel everything and nothing. All this without opening my eyes.As I finally pried my eyes open, I saw a little crack on the ceiling above my head. I have been living in this chamber for months, but this was my first time seeing this crack. Every single morning when I woke up and looked at this ceiling, I have never seen the crack before. Where did it come from?I turned my head around. I could hear thousands of footsteps from outside. I felt like I could hear the footsteps of people outside the castle as well.My entire body felt light, as I thought I could rise up and fly. At the same it was hard for me to lift my body up. But once I managed to do just that, I realized something."I should be dead." I said out loud.I looked down to my stomach. I was wearing a blue night dress. I rolled it up to check my stomach, and there was no mark of the stab wound that Light had designed on

Hope "What are you doing?" I asked Light, trying my best to keep my voice leveled and hide the fear I felt in my chest."You are not ready to join me. Without you being with me, I can't let other people have you and use you against me." Light explained with a detached tone."Are you crazy?! You want to kill me just because I don't believe in your nonsense and cruel actions!? Light, what is wrong with you?!" I exploded at her, but she wasn't fazed by my words."You are a disappointment to all Vitalis princesses." With that said, Light lunged for me. The angle she used was well thought out, and I wouldn't have enough time to dodge the knife even if I attempted to move.I closed my eyes and waited for the impact. However, it did not come. But I heard a clank and a thud sound. I opened my eyes to see that Light was on the floor, and that the Morati knife was at the far corner of the kitchen. This scene was not as surprising as seeing Thaddeus in front of me, standing like a shield."Wh-w

Hope "A way to redeem myself?" I asked Light slowly.Light nodded, the light in her eyes brightening even further. "Your child... The child you have with that monster. It could guarantee peace forever. After you give birth to it, we will work to permanently separate his human and beast side, killing the latter off. Then follow through to do the same with every other surviving Lycan to exterminate all beasts."My eyes widened in surprise as I didn't bother to hide the shock in my expression whilst staring at Light."Light, are you listening to yourself? What do you think you're talking about? Even without the child and this lunatic idea of yours, there would have been peace forever! That was what the treaty was for! You-""Oh, stop that! Don't talk as though that nonsense treaty was fair to humans. We basically became a different type of slaves to these monsters because of that treaty!" Light exclaimed."A treaty that we, humans, came up with!" I fired at Light.If she wanted to prete

Hope After receiving the report from Orion, everything happened so fast that I didn't get a chance to understand anything. One second, Darius and I were sitting next together, the next, he was locking me inside my room for protection and leaving the castle with a large army of soldiers.My heart was in my mouth, I couldn't breathe. Badum. Badum. Badum. Badum.I could feel my heartbeat in every part of my body. Why was I so afraid? Why did I feel there was something terrible waiting for me? I managed to get myself a glass of water but it did not calm me down a single bit. I looked out the window. The army who had been waiting around the castle on standby were no longer there.They had been moved to the scene of action. As for the few soldiers remaining to protect the castle's gates, I couldn't make them out as they were too far away from my line of vision.I knew that this castle was safe, but I still felt like there was trouble lurking around. "Darius isn't here anymore." I told m

HopeToday was the day of the Blood Moon. But everything was weird. Things were too peaceful. It was like the calm before the storm. From morning till this very evening, there have been no reports of rebels, attacks, riots, or anything.However, that didn't mean that things were fine. Light might as well be bidding her time until the Blood Moon was fully out. From the room's window, I stared at the red moon hanging on the dark night sky that was shrouded with dark clouds.It was seriously ominous, to the point where I got chills just by looking at it. However, if things went according to plan, I would be fine. And I would also carry out a personal plan of mine.Soldiers and guards were stationed all round the kingdom and this very castle. We were prepared for anything. Yet, I still felt like we were missing something.I couldn't place my finger on what exactly it was, but I knew that something was wrong somewhere. If I could bring this to Darius' attention, maybe he would do something

Kyle "This is all your fault!" I accused Thomas, cutting off his air supply.To this, he smiled maniacally, but there was a hint of regret and guilt in his eyes. He didn't hide them well."You're a fool. Did you expect me to blindly follow your commands and help that queen of yours?" Thomas spat.I tightened my grip on his throat. "Don't you dare!"Thomas coughed and said, "I did my best. She wanted to be stabbed. So I stabbed her. What are you getting so worked up about?" I wanted to kill the fool right now. But I couldn't. At the end of the day, it was all my fault. I flung him away and turned my back to him.I shouldn't have asked him to be the one to fake stab the queen. I should've done so myself. I should've obeyed and sealed my feelings to myself. Instead, I'd done something stupid—placed my trust on a fool and betrayed the trust of someone dear to me.Fuck!I kicked the air, not knowing what to vent on. I heard a mocking scoff from behind me. I was forced to turn around and

Hope The baby was fine? How could the baby be fine? I had taken an abortion tonic. I had also gotten stabbed in the stomach. How could the baby still be fine after all of that??"The baby's fine? Did a physician check me and-" "Don't worry, Hope." Darius said with soothing tone, placing a hand on my shoulder to comfort me. "The physician checked. I even had other renowned physicians check as well. The baby is fine. Everything is in order. You shouldn't worry so much."This child is a royal Lycan. Nothing can harm him. Everything will be fine." A royal Lycan. The kid growing inside of me was a royal Lycan. I had forgotten about that. How could that important fact slip from my mind?This child was not a regular child. It had the Moratis blood. The only thing that could end its life was the Morati knife.And that was in Light's hands! Shit!"What happened? What's wrong? Are you hurt?" Darius quickly came closer, questioning me with a worried tone.I must have worn my disappointment an

Hope I was still alive. Barely. Surprisingly. But still alive. As soon as I opened my eyes, I let out a sigh of relief. Pain was not fun at all."Your Majesty, you're awake!" I heard someone say.I didn't have the strength to sit up from the bed yet and look at the person. I could only shift my eyes. I saw Kyle already down on his knees on the side of my bed. I instantly managed to find a way to frown."Did you plan to kill me?" I asked, my voice was void of anger and sadness. My intent was to show annoyance and anger, but I didn't have the strength to portray those emotions. "Of course not, your Majesty. The person I hired to... do it, did more than I instructed. But I've disciplined him very well and ensured never to-" "Are you mad?" I cut Kyle off.His throat bobbed, he didn't respond."I ask again, are you mad, Kyle Arsen?!" "... No, your Majesty." Kyle said after a beat."Then why did you let another person in on the plan!? Weren't you supposed to be the one to stab me?! Why
