All Chapters of The Lycan King's Substitute Wife : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Chapter 61Hope"Light... What are you...""Breathe, sister. I can't have you passing out from shock, can I? We've only just reunited." Light spoke with an easygoing tone. I marched right over to where she was standing to check if she was real or not. Once I got close enough, I touched her arm which was covered with a long sleeve. She was dressed in all-black, from her head down to her feet which were covered in big black boots."How are you.. what are you... you are... how..." I couldn't form proper words because of the shocked state I was in.Light smiled at my plight and threw her arms over my shoulders. I didn't react as she hugged me tightly. After a while when she was satisfied, she let go of me and took two steps backward to stare at me."Look at you. You're a queen now." She remarked. I couldn't decipher if she was speaking out of jealousy, surprise, or pride.My hand unconsciously travelled up to touch the crown that was still sitting prettily on top of my head. Light began

Chapter 63HopeAfter taking care of the traces that would show I went into the forbidden wing of the castle and met with a criminal, I strolled back into the hall to resume the celebration of my coronation. Everyone had noticed that the star of the celebration had been gone for a while. I lied and said I went to pick something from my room that I had forgotten and ended up taking a stroll in the garden.Thankfully, no one suspected that there was a possibility that I could lying. It was especially nice to see that the Lycans who would openly stare at me with disdain in their expressions were now bending their backs to please me. How the tables have changed.Speaking of tables changing, Darius was seated next to me on this long table, facing the main dance floor of the hall. Beside me was a councilman whom I couldn't remember the name of, and beside him were other important people of the Lycan high society. Behind me was Kyle, standing as my loyal guard. Beside Darius was Orion and ha

Chapter 65 Hope "Might I ask, what gave you the idea to present such a 'gift' to me?" I asked Kyle, not hiding my sheer curiosity for the creature which was gifted to me. "She'll be a very good companion in the case of protection." Kyle replied. I almost said "what case of protection" but I quickly clamped my mouth shut and continued to stare at the dragon. It wasn't a very big one. It was about my height. From legends, I knew that dragons could grow up to twenty times my size. It seemed like this one was just a child. But that was the confusing part. Dragons were supposed to be extinct creatures. So where was it possible to get one? A child at that. As though Kyke could see the gears turning in my head, he spoke up. "It's not a real one, though." I raised my brow in curiosity. "What?" "It was made from half a bone of a long dead one by a small-time witch. It might be disappointing to hear but the dragon won't grow past this height. But its firepower is incredible as it was o

Chapter 67Hope"I'm still in possession of the Morati knife. It will take me nothing to march straight into that hall, stab your husband with it, and flee the scene before anyone is able to do anything. But I will not do that now. I will do it on the day the moon dies. And on that day, I pray you will either not to be around to face my wrath or you will join my side and beg for my forgiveness and mercy." I could vividly remember the words Light said to me. I haven't had the time to ponder deeply on them, but every now and then, her words would replay inside my head. Even though I had pretended to be confident and unfazed in front of her, within me, I was truly afraid. Afraid that she would destroy everything that our ancestors had died trying to achieve.And the most frightening part was that I didn't know when she would strike.The day the moon dies...When would that be? I had thought of seeking Amara's help concerning this but she still hadn't returned from wherever she disappea

Chapter 69HopeAnother council meeting was being held today. Instead of a council meeting, it was just a gathering for complaints. The rebels have been stirring trouble more fiercely than before. Their reach has extended from the borders and over to the Kingdom's center.More civilians were now aware of the rebels than before, protesting that the King does something to take care of them. The councilmen are here to plead with Darius to take proper action.Some are here to discuss the identity of the leader of the rebels. Talk of Light being the leader has been making its way into people's heads. I wouldn't blame them for leaning towards that.She was the one with the Morati knife. She was talented in politics and warfare. Who else, other than her, could stir up so much amount of trouble in such little time?Though everyone knew the identity of the leader of the rebels in the back of their heads, no one dared to say it out loud in front of me and Darius.It would indirectly be blasphem
