Chapter 25
I slept like a baby. I slept with smiles on my face, joy in my heart, and ecstasy waving through my soul. I had a good dream. that revolved all around him. In my dream, he was all over me, cherishing and adoring me like I was his life.
It was so blissful and sweet that I didn’t want to wake up to realize it was just a dream. The way he cared for me and his baby. was out of the world, and with the crown in my head as the Lycan queen, I held so much authority.
It was amazing that I almost cried when I woke up the next day to see that it was
st a dream and hadn’t come to reality yet.
I was still that weak, useless girl who would be attending school and getting bullied again.
Yesterday night, he gave me hope of actually having feelings for me, but I don’t know if that was just for the moment. At least I am glad he accepted that the baby was his own and that his personal guard was the liar.
I was already late for school again, but for some reason that I can’t explain, I wasn’t afraid at all and was so confident that no one would punish me. Maybe it was the dream that was messing with my head and making me think I had reached that height of being highly respected by this kingdom.
Why was I so sure Lucian had accepted me as his mate and mother to his child? It all drives me back to my dream last night. It felt so real and was like a revelation of what my life was about to become.
I took my bath and cleaned up with so much ease and smiles all over my face, rubbing my stomach, which was yet to have an obvious bump. I knew soon the world would know, and as Lucian had accepted that his guard was lying about the fake charm. I’m sure he doesn’t doubt the child is ours.
I stepped out of the bathroom after I was done with the towel still around my breasts and down to my thighs. It was quite short, so almost my entire thighs were bare, and my wet hair slicked down my back.
My eyes moved to the mirror, and a little smile crept up my l*ps. I was actually beautiful, but the reason for my smile was that I was seeing Lucian behind me in my head, and we were a good match. Our children will be the cutest babies out there, I must say.
A knock sounded on my door at that moment, and before I could tell whoever it was to wait that I was coming just so I would get the time to wear something, the door was pushed open.
“Wow….” I clearly heard him say as he barged in, and we were both facing each other. Lucian was standing right there, gazing at my body like it was magic or something out of the world.
“You look good.” He complimented me, leaving me stunned, as I never expected him to say that. Does it mean he also sees me attractive now!
“I was coming to open the door, but you….”
“I thought you would be in the bathroom and couldn’t wait since I am only here to pick up what I forgot last night.” He shrugged, but didn’t move an inch. Instead, he was feeding his eyes with my body.
“Oh, I see. You can take it and leave.” I smiled and moved to the large mirror to comb my hair and rub the lotion there.
“You won’t be wearing that stup i d uniform today.” He said that, and I turned my face to him.
“Why? Isn’t that what your people offered to me?” I frowned on recalling how I really looked yesterday with the attire. For real, it made me look like a fool.
“Yes, but not anymore. Your body is too good to wear such.” He shrugged and moved to the cupboard beside my bed.
“You are really making me blush. You keep complimenting my body stylishly.” I couldn’t hold back from letting him know.
“You can wear any clothes for today while I take your uniform size ready. And you can show me the girls that bullied yesterday: I want to use them as an example. He said, looking up to me without picking anything from the cupboard.
“What? Are you serious right now?” I gasped, unsure if I heard him clearly.
you
“You are my mate, and you have my child. No one hurt you; go scot-free. They need to know that! His eyes locked with mine, and for a moment we were lost in each other’s stares.
He came closer, covering the space between us, and we were now less than an inch away, feeling each other’s breath and the tension buildup.
“I don’t know how to love anymore. How to show a girl that she is all I think of and wants to be beside me all day. I don’t care about the mate bond, but about how my heart feels. I realized I was hurting myself by hurting you.” He spoke lowly, and the way he took every word seriously showed it all came from his heart.
“You are beautiful, but not like other girls I have met. You aren’t even classy or sophisticated like them, yet I am literally forcing myself to hate and stay away from you. When I saw my mother bring you in, I was very excited because I was disturbed and restless about what my denial would cause. I prayed you shouldn’t die because I will never recover
His hand held my check, and his thumb wiped out the tears I didn’t even know were falling freely down my ch*eks.
I was overwhelmed and was hoping I wouldn’t wake up to realize I was in a deep sleep. It was actually Lucian confessing all these to me, saying sweet words of love from his heart.
I couldn’t hold back my tears.
“I am sorry for every time I made you and the baby sad and pained. Forgive me as I start to make it up for the both of you. I am ready to learn how to love again. I will always be right beside both of you. He said that and let out a smile that was so cute-so adorable in a special way. He looked so handsome, and that coldness that had always masked his face washed away.
He really has that se x y, grasping smile that is contagious and enough to make you melt to the knees.
“You are going to accept me as I am. I am still weak, wolfless, rejected and abandoned by my family, and rejected by my first mate. I am not capable of being the queen with this weak self.” I sighed, my eyes to the ground.
“You are right, and that’s why I am here-to train you.” He said it softly, and I looked up at him quickly.
“Are you serious? You will personally train me to become strong like others.” I was almost screaming.
“Yes, and you will learn faster with my way of teaching. Now go cover those thighs. I am getting hard with just a glance at them.” He deadpanned, chuckling. This time it wasn’t deep and menacing, but it was really soft and calm.
“You are mine, and my body is yours. I whispered to him.
“If you are craving me, just spill it. Or you sneak into my room any night. It’s not that hard.” He said it with soft laughter as he lay on the bed.
I couldn’t hold back my laughter.
“Are you for real?”
“Yes, now get prepared for school before s p a n k you for constant lateness.” He teased.
“If spa n k i n g from you is the punishment, I will never be punctual.”
Stan’s POV
“No, this can’t be happening. My sister, Ria, muttered with heavy breaths, her eyes filled with tears, as we both leaned our

ears against the door, listening to every one of the discussions with our hearts broken into pieces.
It was actually happening right under our nose and had gone this far without us realizing it. Hearing all that Lucian was saying to her really made my heart bleed as I tried hard to control the urge to kick the door open, storm in, and kill Selene.
“I can’t stay anymore…” Ria sobbed and scurried away, her face buried in her palm. I know how bad she would be feeling to hear it all. She was just knowing Selene had not only captured the king’s heart but was also carrying his baby while she was just there, having no chance to even be with Lucian for a minute.
She had been waiting for the right moment to meet him, thinking of what he loved most to get for him, and trying to find the right attitudes to use when with him-all that so she would be able to get the cold-hearted Lucian to finally see her the way he did in the past when he was still normal.
She was actually so confident that she was the woman his heart would fall for because she had been his friend for years. I also believed that, especially when Lucian accepted that she should be brought to live with us after I requested it.
My heart burns in rage as I place my ears to the door again to listen to what they were saying, only to hear that intense sound of a k*ss, deep once with l*ps over the other.
I pulled away, growling with my fists clenched on both sides. It was so shocking and something hard to believe, but really evident enough that I would be stup i d to think until now that Selene was nothing to Lucian.
For real, the mate bond had created an emotion that bound their souls together in a way neither of them could withstand, and it seemed like it was getting stronger by the day until now that Lucian couldn’t hold on.
There was only one thing that must have made Lucian’s heart melt, and that is clearly the baby in Selene’s womb, so if I want to tear them apart, the first is to get the baby killed, and I have to do that as soon n as possible.
After losing the baby, I will plan with my sister how to get Selene killed or thrown far away from this kingdom. In whatever way, Selene has to be flung far away from Lucian’s life, and all this should happen faster before he gets drowned deep and deep into her ocean.
If we aren’t fast and he totally gets caught in the web of her love, then he is going to protect her at all costs, even if the baby is no more. I will end up putting my life in danger by trying to hurt her.
G o d, but how did he suddenly get convinced that it wasn’t a fake mate bond? Does it mean he termed me a liar and began to
believe Selene?
Gosh! I have to be really fast, and I know one person who can help me. Diana is Selene’s stepmother. It’s time she knew that Selene wasn’t dead and was on the verge of becoming the threat we were avoiding.
