Semua Bab The Cursed King’s Captive: A Mate In Disguise: Bab 91 - Bab 100

Lucian’s POV“I came to tell you that I’ll be taking a walk with Elena later, so you don’t have to worry about me,” Jules said quietly before walking out of my office.Her voice was too calm. She didn’t shout or slam the door like she sometimes did when she was upset. That silence hurt more than anger ever could.“Please, you have to leave now. I have important work to attend to,” I said, pretending to sound busy, pretending not to notice the disappointment in her eyes.She lifted her hands in the air, forcing a small smile. “Okay, Lucian. I’ll see you later then. Let me keep myself busy.”And then she was gone.I leaned back in my chair, running a hand through my hair. I hadn’t let Ravienna kiss me, but still, I knew Jules had seen enough to make her doubt me.Why did it bother me so much? I didn’t do anything wrong, yet my chest felt heavy. The thought of her walking away like that…quiet, distant…cut deeper than any words could.I tried to focus on the papers on my desk, but the let

Jules POVI was so tired I could barely keep my eyes open. The mating ceremony was only a week away, and every day felt heavier than the last. Today had been my final fitting for the dress, and it had drained what little energy I had left. Still, even though I was tired, I wanted to see Lucian. I hadn’t seen him all day. He’d been busy with the ceremony and pack matters, but I missed him.When I walked into his office, he was sitting behind his desk, looking as worn out as I felt. His jacket was off, his shirt sleeves rolled up, and his hair was a little messy, which made him look more human than Alpha. The moment his eyes met mine, his face softened.“Hey baby… come here,” he said, his voice low and rough from the long day. I walked over to him slowly and smiled before giving him a tight hug that felt like I didn’t want to let go. “I’m so tired from all this wedding planning. When does it end?” I asked, half-joking, half-serious. He laughed quietly, pulling me onto his lap. “It ends

Jules POVI woke up with a heavy heart that morning. All I could feel was sadness and confusion. I hadn’t seen Lucian since yesterday, and I needed to talk to him about the book and those horrible rules. But the pack had traditions, and one of them was that the bride and groom couldn’t see each other the night before the mating ceremony. My stomach was tight, my mind restless. I sat there, staring at my hands until the door opened and people flooded into the room…makeup artists, hairstylists, and maids carrying dresses and jewelry. Everyone was smiling and chattering, but I felt empty inside.“Congratulations, Luna,” one of them said with excitement as she placed the white and gold dress on the bed. “Today’s your big day.”I forced a smile. “Yeah… I know.”They worked on me for hours…styling my hair, brushing shimmer across my cheeks, tightening the lace of my dress. I barely looked at myself in the mirror. My thoughts kept drifting to Lucian. Did he really not read those rules? Di

Jules POVMy eyes fluttered open, and the ceiling above me looked strange…smooth and carved with gold edges. I blinked a few times, trying to remember where I was, but nothing looked familiar. My body felt weak, like I had been asleep for days.“Oh, she’s awake, Luna,” a soft voice said from somewhere nearby. I turned my head slowly and saw a woman standing a few feet away from me. She wore a crown that glimmered even in the dim light, and her long dark hair flowed down her back in waves streaked with silver. Her eyes were calm, like they saw everything. She looked to be in her late forties, yet there was something powerful about her beauty. “Hi, dear. How are you feeling?” she asked with a warm smile that somehow made me feel even more uneasy.I didn’t answer right away. My eyes darted around the room. Every corner shone with gold…curtains, vases, even the legs of the furniture. The air smelled of roses and burning candles. It was the most beautiful room I had ever seen, but it did

Jules POV“And the submissive crap?” I asked, crossing my arms and watching him closely. Lucian’s lips curved into a faint smile. “Oh that? Fuck that,” he said with a low growl that almost made me laugh. “I’ll do anything for you, Jules. When we get back, I’m abolishing that law, and no one can stop me.” His tone was sharp, confident, full of that Alpha fire I once fell in love with.I couldn’t help it…I smiled and threw my arms around him. The moment I felt his warmth, my chest ached. I had missed him so much. “I’ve missed you, Lucian,” I whispered, my voice shaking as tears filled my eyes.He pressed his lips against my hair. “I’ve missed you too, Jules,” he murmured. Then he lifted my chin, and before I could say another word, his mouth met mine.The kiss was deep and desperate, full of everything we hadn’t said for weeks. His hands pulled me closer, his breath warm against my lips, and my fingers tangled in his hair. The world outside didn’t matter; it felt like time had stopped
