Semua Bab The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride : Bab 41 - Bab 48

“I reject your mate bond. I can't be your mate.”These words replayed in Derrick's head for the hundred time. It had only been an hour he left her quarters. He stood up and walked to the wine shelf. As he made to pick out one, he stopped and his thought wandered. Again. He forfeited the wine and returned to his seat. He released a huge sigh and abruptly stood up again. He was furious and he didn't know why. Wasn't it a good thing she refused their mate bond. She was originally never should have been in the same space with him? Why would he be getting affected by her rejection? Also Ethan had gone to pick up Laura whom he was supposed to marry. He could just switch her with Laura and life would go on as if nothing ever happened. But even as he was making those plans internally, he knew that he was lying to himself. Once Lia said those words she had gone back in and shut the door. He'd been speechless to utter a word. What woman wouldn't be happy to be mated to him? Except Lia Smit

“What's up with your sweet wife?” Damian began. His face held a smirk. Derrick shot him a glare. “Well, I'm open to offering some of my magnanimous wisdom and knowledge of women if you want,” he added, still smirking. Derrick shuddered a sigh. “What do you suggest I do? She won't accept to be my mate and—” he paused and felt his heart tighten. It had been happening recently ever since he found out Lia was his mate. The mere thought of her made his heart race and his wolf excited. Suddenly she was a part of him he didn't want to lose. That he was afraid of not having. “Be nice to her,” Damian said softly. He looked at him. “Nice? I am very nice to her. I mean, I have been these days.” At least he was trying. “Not that. Be nicer to her and why don't you court her properly?”“Court?” He almost screamed in shock. “Yeah, I know you have never courted any woman before. Your heart is probably harder than a rock.” Derrick’s face reddened. “I have courted lots of women,” he countered s

LIA’S POV Carlos and I would be breaking Dad out of jail today. So far, our plan was halfway ready but the other half was the problem. Carlos had to enter the house. Derrick must never see him. “Where are you—” Clara tried to ask me as I was leaving. I brushed past her without a word. Since that day I had not said a single word to her. I was yet to figure out what she was but this was the time I really needed to be careful. I was going to visit Ma'am Lucy and inquire about Clara from her but Ma'am Lucy was on leave. And there was no one else to ask. I didn't trust anyone else enough to ask. Carlos would be waiting at the gate where I would pick him up from. I made sure to take a tag Ethan had given me. It was proof that I was the Luna. I didn't have to show my face if I had it. I had secretly met Ethan and got it. I really hoped he never mentioned it to Damian. I was allowed out of the gate where I picked up Carlos. “So what's the plan?” He asked as we walked back into the house

“That bastard…he is suspecting us,” Alpha Dante said. He, Beta Carlos and Alpha Greg were in his sitting room. They had decided to not use their usual hideout which Alpha Blake knew. Privacy was important and whatever that would link them to Alpha Blake should be avoided. The maid servant served the drinks. Alpha Dante ordered her to leave and also make sure to extend the instructions to the other servants. “You think Blake will speak? I don't trust that bastard,” he started. Alpha Gregory uncorked the drink and began to pour into the various drinking glasses. “He would not. Not when he wants his dear daughter alive. What do you think the king would do when he finds out his wife is Alpha Blake's daughter?”“I think his daughter is in it too. She is deceiving the king. If not, why would the king get married to her? He has no idea she has no lycan blood.”Alpha Dante lifted his own glass. “We need a plan B. Just in case. I have a bad feeling. Blake is a cunning man.”The three men fe
