Semua Bab The Lycan King's Forbidden Fruit.: Bab 91 - Bab 100

[Diego’s POV]I wait while Giddeon plops down in a chair with a look of curiosity on his face. Once I’m certain that I have everyone’s full attention, I let out a breath.“Do you remember that bastard Bernard?” I ask, letting his fucking face flash in my mind. “The one who was in the same year as Annemarie?”“The one that worshipped the very floor that she walked on?” Giddeon asks. “Vaguely. Are you saying he is the one who has been keeping her hidden for the past five years?”“That’s right.” I confirm. “So does that mean that he had something to do with the plague that found its way to Moon Storm?”Growing quiet, I try to find a way that the two could possibly be connected. Back at the academy, Bernard and I were rivals. Our grades and strength were on par with one another, although in the end I was the one who usually came out victorious.If he were responsible for the darkness, wouldn’t he have attacked Moon Storm during that time, or was there something that changed during that ti

[Rosalie’s POV]When we arrive at the ice cream shop, the street just outside of it is empty, aside from children eating ice cream cones.“Where?” I gasp, my heart rate kicking up. “Where did they...”Moving forward, I feel my panic building as I picture Diego taking off with Geo in tow.“No.” I whisper, continuing to take in the street around me. “He wouldn’t. He definitely wouldn’t…”“Rosalie.”Gil’s voice is soft and comforting, as is the hand that touches my shoulder.“Look.”Swallowing down the knot that has formed in my throat, I shift my gaze in the direction that Gil is pointing so that I can see Diego standing at the counter with Geo and Landon cradled in each arm. To my surprise, Geo even has his arm wrapped around Diego’s neck, and if I look closely enough, he wears a small smile.Instantly, I feel my heart squeeze as I realize that if Diego and I weren’t from such different worlds, what I was seeing would have already been a regular thing.‘Don’t start to feel bad for your

[Diego’s POV]I head out of the bathroom while anger slowly begins to bubble up in me. That scar. That fucking scar marring Rosalie’s porcelain skin was definitely not there five years ago. So how the fuck did she get it?As this single question races around in my mind, I feel something beginning to awaken in me—something dark and dangerous. I was certain that it was my lycan trying to show that he too was furious over the woman we loved being injured, but what I was feeling terrified me.“Fuck.” I hiss, shaking it off and beelining for Giddeon’s room, where he sat in bed reading a bedtime story to Landon. “Hey!” I call when his gaze lifts to mine. “Let’s go get a drink.”“Now?” He asks, looking at Landon, who is already asleep. “But what about...”“Now.” I growl, turning just in time to see Rosalie and Geo coming out of the bathroom.Remaining silent, I take them both in as my anger and sorrow begin to war with one another. It was still so hard to believe that after five years of sea

[Rosalie’s POV]I sit on a lounge chair, staring up at the full moon while sipping on a warm cup of tea, while waiting for Diego to finish bathing. When he finally shows up, he is wrapped in a robe, and as he moves toward me, I can see his bare thighs peeking from underneath.“Feel better?” I ask, ignoring the sudden desire that is awakening in me. “Shouldn’t you have gotten dressed?”“Why?” He asks, giving me a look that screams danger. “Does it bother you that I’m not wearing anything underneath?”‘Cocky bastard.’ Hana huffs, though she doesn’t bother to hide her appreciation. ‘So much for not falling into his trap again.’Rolling my eyes, Ignore her quip, as I realize that is exactly what I’m doing, but I wasn’t doing this because I wanted to jump his bone. There were things that couldn’t be taken care of if we were at odds. We had a common enemy, and that enemy was lying dormant in Diego as we spoke.Shifting my gaze from the man in question’s exposed chest, I meet his steady gaze

[Rosalie’s POV]“Now.”Chanel’s voice echoes around us as her hands grip my wrists, pulling me down on the bed beside her. Although I was extremely happy to see her, since she was one of the few friends that I actually had, I was also nervous about having to explain to her what happened.Would she still see me as a friend if she knew of my cowardice in the face of Diego’s mother, or would she understand? After all, Anthrose basically did the same thing as me when Diego’s father banished him, and she still accepted him.“What the hell happened?” She continues, snapping me out of my head.There it was. The very question I knew was to come.“I’m a chicken.” I sigh, slumping forward. “Instead of trusting that someone would help me, I ran away.”“Help you.” Chanel repeats, raising a brow. “What the hell is that supposed to mean?”“That…” I begin, wondering if Diego would be fine with me telling Chanel about what happened. “Diego’s mother found my mom.” I continue, deciding it was fine.
