All Chapters of Bride of the Lycan King: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

She lived in the castle. I was stunned by that revelation, making me wonder what her position was in the hierarchy. The building was a medieval structured kind, situated behind the main palace. Lily told me that all officials were subjected to live within the castle walls and it was true since her home wasn't the only one on the ground. There were several others too, some smaller than the others, "Those houses belong to the castle workers although some choose to live outside," She told me when I asked who owned the smaller units.I shut the door carefully behind me and then kicked off my shoes before walking inside. The interior was not like I imagined, in contrast to the splendor of the other parts of the castle, Lily's home maintained a homey feel without being too extravagant."Your home is beautiful," I said as I settled on one of the smaller couches. Lilly offered me a smile, walking in the direction of an open kitchen,"Oh, I and my husband make do with what we have," She repli

"Where are you taking me to?"I looked away from the window to Theo who was seated beside me. He had his gaze fixed on the phone in his hold, rapidly tapping at the screen."If I tell you now, it won't be much of a surprise now, would it?" I huffed, turning away from him and back to the window, watching the main city from here didn't justify the beauty of it but at least it was better. All my encounters at the square was nothing short of exciting and for now, I'd rather be a spectator than a partaker."Did you know that they city could be so gruel?" I questioned without looking at him, my face still pressed to the window. I heard him shift, the sound of his material rustling against the leather chair. "What do you mean?"This time, I did shift to face him, "Beggars, thiefs and kidnappers. They walk amongst those people and you never know who is who."He exhaled deeply and then dropped his phone in the space between us, "No matter how hard you try or how much good you do, they'll alw

"What?""The dowager wants to see me?"I blinked rapidly, my mouth parted in disbelief as I gawked at Carissa. She simply nodded, her face a blank sheet.I leaned against the edge of the opened door, folding my arms across my chest, "Why? Does she wants to play another game of chess again? I thought I made it clear that I was a horrible player the last time." I muttered the last part to myself but Carissa must've caught it because her lips twitched,"She's not requesting or you alone," She answered smoothly and I frowned."Who else, then?"Carissa's lips twitched again and I wondered if she was trying to fight back a smile, "She wants to see the two finalist, you and Miss Simpson."My brows fell and my mouth instantly glued back together, I could only watch star-struck as Carissa gave me one last bow before sauntering off. One question rang clear in my head;Why did the Queen want to see us both?It turned out that my question was sooner answered because after I dressed up, another co

There was silence on the other end of the line so I thought she'd hung up but her voice came up again,"What do you want?" She bit out irritatingly and I suppressed a low sigh,I switched the phone to my other ear, balancing firmly against the wall, "I called to warn you, everyone is in danger."She scoffed and I heard some shuffling before she responded again, "So they found out your secret after all? What did they say the punishment is; beheading? Banishment? or lancing by silver?""That's not what I'm talking about, Dahlia," I huffed in aggravation and she scoffed again,"You do not get to use that tone on me," She yelled, taking me by surprise and continued but in a much softer voice, "You were the one who abandoned the family-""I was never part of the family, was I?" I cut in brusquely, my temper slowly flaring. "You act as if you all didn't push me here to be the sacrificial lamb. You never cared about me, not once."She fell silent at that, only the sound of her laborer breath

I slid down on the chair across from him, placing his interlocked fingers atop the table between us. His head snapped up, a corner of his mouth curling upward,"You look fine," He crooned, eyeing me up and down, "That's surprising."I smiled forcibly, looking down on my fingers, carefully picking each one. I contemplated how best to continue the conversation but thankfully, he picked it up from there,"Today is your deadline, love," He grinned menacingly, leaning closer to the table, "I assume you have the answer I want." I huffed, looking down and back up again, "I do," His lips was beginning to climb up, "But I'm not sure that's the answer you want."The smile fell from his face almost immediately and I took that opportunity to grin, "I'm going to participate in this contest and I will win." He scoffed, disdain filling his eyes. A muscle was starting to tick and I had to swallow down the fear. I put up a bold front, tipping my chin upward,"You've forgotten, your family is under-"
