Chapter 17
After Lyna left, Julian rose from his bed and pared. His body was excited, yearning for her Again. He ran his hand through his hair in frustration. What the hell was she doing to him?
She had alrady left, but she could as well still be in the room. Her scent was everywhere, and he could still hear her moans and shimpers and cries of pleasure in his ears. She was gone, but
“You should just make her queen-”
he interrupted must before he could complete his sentence.
Turi sighed in annoyance. “Whether you admit it or not, you will never have an experience like that with anyone else. She is our mare, made for us. Who cares whether she is an Omega? she in the perfect fit for you.”
itious,” Julian scoffed can’t have an Omega queen. This kingdom cannot have an Omega queen
“And yet the Goddess fated he to you, Yurk pointed out. “Or doesn’t that matter to you anymore?
ulian grunted in displeasure and moved to the wind. Outside, it was still dark Had she made her way
way back in the dormitory safely?
–“Divon’t get rid of her,” he tally sid. “That’s all I can do!!
Should I thank you or someth
Yori asked angrily. “Don’t act like you are not doing it for yourself to avoid the curse.”
“I’m the Lycan King. I need to think about the good of the kingdom. If you cannot understand that, then I have nothing more to say to you,” Juliam said firmly.
Later that day, Thea approached t the banquet hall. The delegation from the Backsword Pack was arriving shortly, and all preparations were finished “Your Majesty,” she greeted, her hands clasped in front of her body formally. “I asked a maid with preparing your room, I believe it’s done?”
“Is that not your duty?” Julian asked her, annoyance burwing up inside him. After working in the palace for so many years. The had full authority on housekeeping matters. She was las charge of allocating chores and supervising “Shouldn’t you know better than me whether it’s been done or not?”
“I’m sorry, Your Majesty,” she said, sounding concite. “Lonly wanted to check whether you were satisfied. It’s because I haven’t seen Lyca, the maid allocated the task to, and Alpha Zero called to ask for leave on her behalf. I’m afraid she might have neglected her duty.”
Julian had been ready to walk away, but on hearing Lyra’s name, then Zenu’s, he stopped and focused on Thea. “What? What do you mean Alpha Zex asked for leave for he
bet homor sit, I clos
“He called me early this morning.” Thea explained. “I was surprisedtos. I have no idea why Alpha Zero would do something like that, or why she would be in his company. To be not think she belongs in the palace. Since she got here, she has been…”
The rambled on and on about the things she did not like about Lyra, but Julian had stopped listening Zero, uh? As soon as she left his bed, the ran straight to another male What did I expect?
your Majesty, if it will please you, I would like to have her transferred out of the palace,” Thea’s voice penetrated through his thoughts.
“What?” Julian asked sharply
“I mean, she does not work well with others, and she does not seem to realise that this is the palace, not whatever backwood she came from. There are better trained servants that can take her place.” Thea explained
‘s not going anywhere.
“I brought her, I’ll decide when she leaves,” he said curtly.
“Of course.” Thea said, even though she looked dissatisfied. “I’ll take my leave.”
After Thea left, Julian kept thinking about Zero and his intentions. He thought after telling his cousin that Lyra was his mate, Zero would leave her alone. Clearly, that was not happening. What if Zeen was planning on taking her away? He was an Alpha male, after all, if he really wanted her, why wouldn’t he try to take her, especially when she was throwing herself at him? *Your Majesty, the Blacksword are almost here,” Asher informed him through mindlink.
After that, Julian prepared himself to greet the guests. Blacksword was the strongest pack outside of the royal pack, and they had always been trying to challenge the royal family. Even though they tried to hide their true intentions, Julian was well aware of their ambitions
But without concrete evidence that they were trying to curaten the kingdom’s stability, he could not do anything. Getting engaged with Crystal was his way of disarming Alpha Black if he thought his daughter would be quen, he would definitely be less vigilant, and it would be easier for Julian to uncover his scheming
“Are you really going ahead with this?” Yuri questioned. He was still unsatisfied after their conversation earlier that morning. “This will break Lyra’s heart. You don’t even Crystal. “
“It don’t matter whether it’s Crystal or anyone else, but it definitely cannot be Lyra,” Julian told him. “And what makes you think it would break her heart? Weren’t you listening to what The calderline? She is busy cosying up to Zero.”
“Who knows what happened to her when you threw her out of your room in the middle of the night?” Yuri asked. “You just want to assume the wor about her.”
ot assuming anything.” Julian argued. “She has shown me enough prost that she is just a prostitute who loves flisting with male everywhere. I’d die before allow her to be roy
Before Yuri could say anything else, Crystal walked into the vicinity. She was wearing a skintight strapless blue gown, with her long black halt swept over one shoulder. She was tall and beautiful and looked exactly like what a queen should, down to the way she carried herself
Not an Omega tramp who couldn’t even act decend to make up for her lack of strength or dependable background.
Julian’s lips strenched in a welcoming smile as he held his arm out to her. “Good alleinoon, Crystal. You look as breathtaking as ever
Crystal hooked her arm through his and smiled up at him. “You too, Your Majesty, Shall do this?”
