LUCIEN'S POV

Time had moved without my permission.

I looked up from the desk and the light through the window had shifted entirely from where it had been when I sat down, and somewhere between Tairn's last word and now, hours had passed that I had no clear accounting for.

A knock.

I already knew before the door opened.

Terak stepped in. "It's time."

"Yes," I said.

He held the door. Seraphine came in behind him, composed as always, her case at her side. She looked at me when she entered.

    The door burst open before I could reach it.Kaelen stood in the frame, hand still raised mid-knock, grinning like he'd won something. "Hello, ladies."I stared at him. "Kaelen? What are you doing here?""Am I not allowed to visit?" He stepped inside, glancing between us. "I heard there's a ball to prepare for."“ You should have at least waited for me to answer the door” I said glaring at him" And Yes, and I'm handling that," Seraphine said, arms crossing. "What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be making preparations too?""I am making preparations." He dropped into the chair by my desk like he owned it. "This counts."I looked from him to Seraphine, then back again. "What is going on?"Seraphine opened her mouth to explain, but Kaelen got there first, squinting at her face. "Wait. What is that on your face?""What?""Why are you wearing glasses? Since when do you wear something humans wear?""How is that any of your business?" Seraphine shot back."Kaelen, leave her be."

  • Bound To The Lycan King    CHAPTER 56: One's Confidant

    AYLIN'S POV The water was still dripping from my hair when I caught myself thinking about him again.No nightmares last night. No voices clawing at the inside of my skull. Just sleep....deep, dreamless, the kind I hadn't had since I arrived at this palace. I told myself it was coincidence. I told myself a lot of things lately that I didn't quite believe.Deep down I knew that in some way Lucien had something to do with it.My mind found it's was back to the encounter. How we were this close to kissing, how I wanted to kiss him badly, how I needed him close to me.I shouldn't be having these thoughts but it felt like Lucien had an invisible string attached to my wrist pulling me towards him and a couldn't resist him.I knew i shouldn't get this close to him,he was still my captor but deep down I was beginning to grow accustomed to it.I pulled a towel tighter around my shoulders and crossed to the wardrobe, pushing the thoughts away before it could take root. "Stop it, Aylin. You know

    LUCIEN'S POV Kaelen broke the silence first."So." He leaned forward, elbows on his knees. "We all know he's not just coming for the Fall Ball."Seraphine looked up. "Then what does he want?""That piece of filth...." Kaelen caught himself, glanced between Seraphine and me, "....no offense to you two, but that man is the most obnoxious, self-serving narcissist I have encountered in my entire life. And I have encountered many.""He has most definitely heard about the attacks," Terak said quietly from the window.Everyone looked at him.He didn't elaborate. He rarely did.Seraphine nodded slowly. "That. And possibly...." she paused, ".....because of Aylin."The room continued moving around me. Voices, opinions, concerns layering on top of each other. I heard all of it and said none of it.I knew why Roderick was coming.I had known the moment I read the letter. The Fall Ball was a convenient excuse....it always was with him. Roderick Valerius had wanted the crown since before he had be

  • Bound To The Lycan King    CHAPTER 54: The Cousin

    LUCIEN'S POVI hated that every dot connected back to humans.I had always hated them. Not without reason. Not without history. I felt it in the part of me that had walked into my father's study at eighteen and found what I found. Their hands in things. Their quiet, deliberate, calculated interference in matters that cost my kind everything.And yet.One human had walked into this palace and changed the shape of something I hadn't known could be changed.I pressed my fingers against the desk.Just because one human was kind did not mean they were all kind at heart. I knew that. I had always known that. One exception did not rewrite centuries of evidence. One person did not determine how every other person thought.I believed that.I was finding it increasingly difficult to hold onto now that everything kept pointing toward the humans.A knock.I already knew before the door opened. My guard. He must have walked with urgency, because I could hear how out of breath he was before he'd ev

She looked at me when she entered."Hi, Lucien."I looked at her and nodded once.She accepted that without comment, which told me she understood exactly what it meant and was choosing not to push it. Good. That was the right choice.Deep down....in a place I had no intention of acknowledging out loud or to anyone.... something in my chest had loosened the moment she walked through that door. She was here. She was safe. Four years and she was standing in my study looking older and steadier and more like our mother than I remembered, an

  • Bound To The Lycan King    CHAPTER 52: What's Right in Front of You

    LUCIEN'S POV Tairn."Did you just call megrumpy."I'll call you whatever I decide to call you.I leaned back slowly. "You barely speak to me. Weeks of silence and you come back with grumpy one."I speak when I have something worth saying. And mind you, you are grumpy. In all my years of living I've never met someone as uptight as you."And today you have something worth saying and I'm going to ignore every other thing you said"I do and may I remind you that I do not care if you ignore what I say, it has already been said.I waited.You are not seeing what is directly in front of you."You're going to need to be more specific."No I don't.I exhaled through my nose. "Tairn."The clues have been there. I have been placing them in front of you one by one and you have been walking past every single one without stopping to look."What clues." I sat forward. "You told me your name. You told me you liked Aylin and that there was something wrong with her.That is the complete sum of everyth
