All Chapters of Lycan King's Jaded Mate: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Chase "Make sure you pay attention when using a knife, or you'll chop your finger off," I told the class as I skilfully diced the garlic on the chopping board.The boys watched, wide-eyed, as the pieces fell neatly onto the chopping board. When I was done, I wiped my hand with a kitchen rag and walked around the room, paying attention to what the other boys were doing. Some diced slowly and precisely, and others cut the garlic into jagged pieces. "Don't worry; with time and practice, you all will learn how to do it," I assured, adjusting my glasses.It was my second-day visiting Ruernia, and I'd decided to spend my last and final day here teaching a cooking class for boys. I hadn't done something like this in a while and was slowly settling back into my humanitarian and royal duties. I had hoped to be back home yesterday, but the meetings stretched out longer than I thought they would, so I had to postpone the class I had promised the boys to today.Zara and I exchanged calls and t

We had light chatter as the car pulled out of the driveway and headed toward the restaurant. We spoke about safe topics like his time away and the upcoming events, but we never deviated from those topics to discuss the issue lingering in the air. The night at his family home. It was obvious he didn't want to talk about it, and I didn't want to sound like a desperate lady eager for some attention. I mean, he initiated the kiss, and he pulled away on his own accord. Not because I was a terrible kisser, because I know I wasn't. Or was I? Now I'm not sure anymore.So I did the reasonable thing anyone in my situation would. I completely pushed the conversation to the back burner and didn't worry about it anymore. Now, I could notice the tension between us, but I didn't want to spoil our evening by bringing up a topic that could dampen the mood. 'He likes you,' Nia said. 'Isn't it obvious?''He's just being nice,' I countered.I had a history of latching on to men who were just being ni

"... and Betnerd High School is officially open!" Chase announced as we both cut the blue ribbon with the enormous scissors we were holding. Scattered applause and cheers filled the air as the new high school in Betnerd was officially open to the public. It's been four weeks since I arrived at the kingdom and two weeks since our date. The past two weeks have been pretty busy for Chase and I, from attending numerous conferences and events to traveling around different states and performing our royal duties. It was also a way for me to be introduced to the people of Betnerd as their queen.Chase's position as king and me being queen meant that we were always invited to dine at exclusive restaurants and visit different business places. Our presence always meant a stamp of approval and a promise of success. Restaurants, cafes, and businesses all sought patronage, knowing that the influence could lead to a surge in popularity and a lot of sales. After unveiling the new school, the crowd

ZARA.I stirred on the bed, extremely uncomfortable, and blinked as my eyes opened. I instantly recognised that I was in my room. The lights were dim, and Pamela and Bella were not beside me. Instead, Chase was beside me, his head resting on the bed and my hand clasped tightly in his.I felt lighter, the headache fully disappearing as well as the queasiness. It was stress, I knew that much. And I needed a rest before I ended up throwing up on actual important people.My eyes drifted back to Chase, and I watched him for a bit, breathing in and out. I realized that I didn't want this small moment between us to ever end. I felt safe and comfortable with him, and I'd never felt that way toward anyone. 'Just admit what you really feel,' Nia said within me, quickly keeping me in check. I moved slightly on the bed to sit up, and Chase's eyes flew open instantly at my movement. His senses always seemed to be super heightened, and it made him hotter to me.'Oh, my Lumus. What's wrong with me

I wore a light blue dress that seemed to hug my curves, a rose sewed in just above my right breast. I liked it. I left my hair in a fro, leaving two stands dangling on either side of my face. I also did my make up. Chase wore light blue slacks and a silk shirt, his hair in a man bun, which seemed to make my entire body heat up with another image. An image of him pressing down on me. Doing sinful acts. It was the one thing taking the edge off of me. The nervousness of seeing Asher and Lina. I am afraid they'd see through this game of ours. See through my shits and call me out."I have the last documents you need to sign in your office, Your majesty," Shane was saying as Chase and I walked to the dining hall. "I'll work on them in the morning. Any news from Geolfield yet?""No, your majesty. Both parties are refusing to settle so I think you'll have to go there."Chase made a sound in his throat, his hold on my hand tightening as we reached the door. "Let's talk tomorrow, Shane. Time
