All Chapters of Bride of the Lycan King: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Thump, Thump, Thump.The rhythmic beating of my heart pounded like drums in my ears. It was difficult to keep standing and I'd been standing for long. My legs and neck ached plus my eyes were beginning to droop. After I'd been brought to the throne room, Lady Calloway left to seek the dowager but she hadn't returned yet. So I was left to stand alone in the cold and empty room, trepidation gnawing at my chest. I already knew what was going to happen. What I didn't know was how? A loud groaning sound echoed from behind me and I turned to see the do wager approaching with Lady Calloway in tow. There was another person with them, a man and when he got closer, I could see his bright white hair. Why was the assistant supreme advisor here? Where was Theo?I quickly bowed my head when they neared but they walked past me without a word. Lady Calloway stopped a few feet ahead of me, she had changed her attire now, dressed in suit pants and a white button-up."Dahlia Winchester." The Queen's

It was the next day and the knot in my stomach only grew worse. Somehow, I knew that it was going to be today. As usual, Leslie brought my meal that consisted of half-baked potato and a fruit juice and as always, I munched on it it silence but the unsettling feeling in my gut didn't allow the food to stay down. I threw up on the corner of the room, ignoring Leslie's hard glare. I braced myself with the wall, leaning tiredly against the grimy metal gates."Hey!" Leslie slammed her baton against metal but this time I didn't flinch, my eyes were closed and my fist clenched on my chest, "Hey!" She did it again and this time I turned to look at her.She staggered slightly when she saw the depleted look in my eyes, I thought she was going to say something but she just cleared her throat, crossing her arms behind her back, "Stop puking, it smells!"I opened my mouth to apologize but the sound of the entrance doors opening cut me short. Our head simultaneously swivelled in that direction and

I slowly trace my fingers at the back of his palm, taking note of every raised bump and faded scars. My back was pressed to his chest and his face nuzzled into my neck, we had been staying like this for the past ten minutes, neither of us had said a word. The buzz of our desire satiated and the throbbing ache in between my legs had dulled down completely. My cheeks heated when I remembered what he did with his tongue and teeth, the memory still vivid in my head causing me to clench my thighs together,"Mhmm," Theo rumbled from behind me, rubbing his nose along the skin on my neck, "You're getting aroused again," He continued the action and I stifled a giggle.I peered down at him, my lips pursed together, "Theo?"His head slowly rose up but instead of looking at me, he pressed his head against mine, a gesture I was beginning to love."What's wrong, little wolf?" He mumbled and I breathed in deeply before continuing,"What's going to happen to me?"The question hung in the air, he stop

"This is nice."I twisted my head to look at Paige, her face was tipped towards the sky, eyes closed and there was a relaxed smile on her mouth. I smiled gently, taking another sip from the bottle in our middle.I welcomed the burn and swallowed it down, taking another sip before dropping it back. The warm buzz from the alcohol soothed my system and I relaxed against the bench."It really is," I whispered and she chuckled. I could feel her reaching for the bottle, then I heard the sloshing of the liquid.My eyes popped open just as she dropped the bottle back. The two of us had snuck out after dinner to the courtyard, I'd proposed we get some air but hadn't thought she would bring booze along. When I questioned about the illegal item, she just winked and told me to enjoy the moment. And I was doing just that,"You know, there's something I've been meaning to ask you," She said again, breaking the silence, "I just -" She broke off chuckling and took a big gulp from the bottle, "I was j

"Time up!"Those words were like music to my ears, my chest pumped up and down, droplets of sweat pouring down my forehead. The needles retracted from my skin and almost immediately the box unlocked. I shakily withdrew my hands from the device, a small choked noise escaping my mouth when I saw the battered state of my palms,"Congratulations," Carissa continued, a smile lighting her face this time, "All thirteen of you made it to the third part of this contest."Thirteen?The number shocked me and I looked around, true enough most of the girls had fled the area leaving me and few others. I spotted Cora who was looking pale and sweaty, Jessica remained as well and her head hung limp, I feared she had fainted from the overwhelming pain. A few of the others girls I recognized, Paige was nowhere to be found so I guessed she must have left earlier."Now, the nurses will tend to your wounds," She clapped her hands and people materialized from nowhere, a young girl my age knelt in front of m
