All Chapters of A Second Chance For My Lycan King : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Eve’s POVThe council room was suffocating, not because it was occupied by the influential elites in the entire realm, but because of who sat there. My eyes landed on Vesper, and every muscle in my body tensed. Rage flowed through my system. I wish I could lurch on him at this moment and dive my claws into his throat, killing him instantly. His eyes met mine from across the room, and I could see that there was no shock in them. No flicker of surprise, no hesitation, nothing. It was as if he knew that I had been here all along. He smirked, the kind of his smile that always sent chills down my spine. And then, he casually turned away again.Motherfucker. A hush suddenly fell over the room. Everyone around me slowly got to their feet and bowed their heads in unison. I followed their lead, keeping my head low. Stefan was here. He entered with his guards flanking him, dressed in his royal regalia, with every inch of him looking like the King he was born to be. The room seemed to shift w

Eve’s POVA day before the Full Moon Festival, luxury cars pulled up to the packhouse grounds one after the other, signaling the arrival of the realm's most powerful Lunas and queens. Luna Jessica had sent them all an invitation to spend the day together to bond before the festival. From my window, I watched as Lunas and Queens dressed in designer silks and custom gowns stepped out of their convoys, welcomed by Luna Jessica who accepted them air kisses and over-exaggerated compliments.But I wasn’t part of them. I hadn’t been invited.The lack of an invitation didn’t sting as much as I thought it would. If anything, it gave me an excuse to avoid the suffocating gathering. I didn’t belong in their world anymore because for now, I was no longer a Luna.I made up my mind to avoid everyone today by spending my time at Aiden’s company and it took me a few minutes to get ready. Once I was ready to leave, I grabbed my bag and headed toward the door. Stepping out into the hallway, I nearly ra

Eve’s POVI sat there, staring at Emilia’s stomach, barely hearing the laughter and the chatterings around me. The only thought that played in my mind over and over again was Emilia’s fake baby bump. I still couldn’t believe it, even though I had seen it with my own eyes. This crazy woman had been deceiving everyone, including Stefan and Luna Jessica. I always knew Emilia was a liar, and a manipulative person but this was entirely something else. The thought of it alone made my stomach churn.I glanced around the room, wondering how many of them had fallen for her perfect lie. Everybody had fallen for it, obviously. Disgust welled up in me, but I tried my best to keep my face as neutral as possible. From where she was seated, Emilia giggled with her friends, their heads bent together as they whispered and laughed. What a con artist!“Let’s play a game, everyone.” One of the women said and the others clapped excitedly.“I have the perfect idea of a game that we can play.” Another chi

Eve’s POVWe lay on the bed beside each other, tangled under the bedsheets, with my head resting my head on Stefan’s chest. My fingers absentmindedly traced the lines of his muscles as his hand found its way into my hair, gently twirling a strand.We lay there quietly for long minutes, the silence altered only by the gentle sound of our breaths. And in this moment, I realized that I had wanted this all along. For the past eight years, I had missed him badly. Terribly. And now, we were naked and in each other’s arms. Like a far fetched dream. Only that it was real this time. Despite everything, despite all the mistakes and the barriers that separated us from each other, lying here with him felt easy. Like we belonged beside each other.“I know I have said this to you many times before, but…” Stefan finally broke the silence between us, his voice low. “I’ve screwed up a lot. I know I’ve hurt you in the process of me being stupid and all. Fuck, I’ve hurt myself too.”Then, tilting his he

Eve’s POVAs the festival began, a quiet ceremonial reverence started first, where one by one, everyone moved forward to pay their respects to Stefan. the Lycan king. When my turn came, I took Jameson's hand and we made our way to Stefan. As we bowed, I could feel Stefan’s gaze fixed on me, and it remained that way for longer than it should. Longer than he would with anyone else. I flicked my eyes up at him and lifted a brow in a silent reminder that we were not alone. Thankfully, he seemed to understand this and he snapped back to reality, finally turning to acknowledge Jameson with a warm nod and a small smile. My heart tightened in my chest knowing that he had no idea he was looking into his own son’s eyes.The thought of telling him crossed my mind but I immediately pushed it aside. Tonight wasn’t the night to open up old secrets. Tonight, I just wanted to live in the moment and be happy. The festival continued, and as we sat down enjoying the event and clapping at couples who
