All Chapters of The Lycan King's Substitute Wife : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Chapter 52 Hope Life here in Moratia has been peaceful in the absence of my husband and his comrades. Or should I say too peaceful? That was if such a thing existed. The goons still hadn't returned from their travels even though two weeks had passed. I have been living too freely that I was always scared that while doing something I wasn't supposed to do, Darius would pop up and catch me in the act. But that didn't make me act any less carefree. I visited Amara more frequently than I ought to by giving Gwendolyn impossible tasks to keep her away. I got on with my training and hung around Kyle's friends, who might've been wary of me when the commander was around but treated me fairly now in her absence. I also got to sneak out of the castle a lot after that day Kyle and I went to the festival. He had eased up on shielding me from the outside world after letting me have a sweet taste of it. I appreciated him so much. I have visited bars, plays, markets, eaten street food, so on. Dar

Chapter 54Hope"And he said, 'Will you take your sister's place?' I was so surprised! I-I wanted to say no but how could I have said no to such a scary person? I foolishly nodded my head. That, my friends, is why I stand before you today!" I explained to the soldiers. "I remember that day. You even cried when it was time to seal the bond with blood," a soldier, who I couldn't remember the name of, spoke up and I nodded in agreement."Whaddya mean?! Of course I cried. Did you see how sharp that knife was. I never want to do such a thing again! Never!" I emphasized, then jumped on one of the empty logs of wood and started to walk on it while tilting uncontrollably since the world was spinning a bit.Ever since I drank that sweet ale, the world has been spinning and a lot of soldiers became twins and triplets. How wonderful that so many of them were here and listening to my stories. Whereas, Kyle was sitting at the far back behind the soldiers, exactly where I had told him to sit a fe

Chapter 56Hope"... And so I told him that the only way I would ever sleep with him was if he was to coronate me and make me queen." "My lady, I don't think this is something you should be sharing with me," Kyle forced out from his mouth and attempted to stand up from the bed. I pressed one of my hands on his shoulders to stop him."If I don't tell you, who am I supposed to tell?" He didn't have any comebacks for that question so I went on."Of course he ignored me and acted like I had asked for the most ridiculous thing in existence. I knew that chances of him saying, 'sure, why not', to that demand were slim to none, so I dropped the matter and moved on.""Can I go now?" Kyle asked.I glowered at him while saying, "No, you can't. I'm not done yet." Kyle let out an exasperated breath though his nose after I said those words, but I ignored his frustration and continued talking to him."He left for the trip after that. Yesterday, he told me that he was going to get me coronated. And

Chapter 58Darius"I can't believe you. You're acting like you've been possessed!" Orion slammed his hands against my desk as he shouted. Talia's reaction was not too far from her husband's as she watched me with angry eyes."Get on with the report," I ground out, ignoring their unnecessary agitation. Whatever I was doing was not under the influence of anyone's charm or persuasion but of my own decision. I might have been steered to take this path but it was all my choice at the end of the day. "Really? You're interested in an unimportant daily report when we're stuck in such a serious crisis?!" Talia fumed.I puffed out a sharp breath. The two of them were just finding out about the coronation ceremony that was going to take place in two days time. This was because they had just returned to the castle today. I was supposed to be with them, arriving today as well, but I had cut the trip short for myself when something came up and had them look after the things I was supposed to.I ha

Chapter 60HopeThis was my coronation party but I wasn't feeling very elated. I was uneasy. Ever since the crown sat on my head, I've been having this feeling. Like I was being pulled to be somewhere. Like I wasn't supposed to be here, like my place was someplace else.I couldn't understand the feeling. And it was annoying. I wanted to chase it, let it lead me, but I couldn't do that right now. I had just become queen, the least that I could do was attend to my current responsibilities which was making small talk with the distinguished guests today.I wasn't a very good conversationalist but I've been researching on how to behave like a certified diplomat. On Amara's instructions, I've been reading more and more books in the library about politics and the history of Moratia, but I was wary about the informations that I've been acquiring from them. The things in the history books about India and the things I had known about her from her diary were drastically different. That led me i
