Those eyes looked dangerous and I could feel it down my heart that whoever that man was, he doesn't like me one bit. Furthermore, he looked dangerous. I wondered why he had such a look on his face. I bit hard on my lips, my hands gripping Maverick tighter than before.He must have noticed my uneasiness because he gave me a reassuring smile that seem to calm my nerves. Deep down something tells me the man was up to no good but who was he?"It's been many years, nephew," the man said, his voice strict and powerful. I could see Maverick trying to control himself. If the man called him nephew, it means he was Maverick's uncle, right? But why does it look like there was tension between the two of them?"And I am surprised you care to visit the castle today of all days? Suspicious, right? Your birdies must be very efficient in relaying messages," Maverick said, smirking. After replying to his uncle, he gently pulled out a chair for me to sit on. I was grateful because the tension in the
Why was Maverick's uncle looking so creepy? Was he the creature I saw just now? What exactly was he planning to do?"Uncle Berth?" I asked, my guard heightened up against him."What do we have here? The human mated to the fearsome lycan king?" He replied, mockingly.I was angry at the way he addressed me but even angrier when he mentioned that my sweet Maverick was fearsome."Oh! It seems you don't agree with me? You were scared just now, weren't you?" He asked, looking at me disgustingly."I was scared because you decided to be creepy!" I retorted, wishing I could roll my eyes. But he was Maverick's uncle, he deserved some respect."Creepy? We all are creepy, if that's what humans calls us. Your so-called mate is the creepiest, buttercup," he mocked again, his tone filled with hatred."You have no right to call me that, Uncle Berth," I said, controlling my anger. " Oops! Sorry, it's just funny how someone like him could call you that. Don't you find it weird?" He asked, walking clos
Maverick PovI was very angry at the way my uncle spoke to my mate. Was he undermining my authority? How dare he question my decision in the presence of others? Was I too lenient towards him? I was only being considerate because he was my father's brother and ever since my father went missing, he was the only father figure. Not that he was a good father figure. I know of all his plots and ploys. But I was looking for the right time and the perfect evidence to trap him. I can tolerate every other thing but not his attitude toward my mate. That's a no-go area even for him. I suppressed my annoyance so as not to scare my mate. I can see she was trying so hard to adapt to the new environment and although she was trying so hard to act brave, I don't want her to get scared seeing my scary side. I don't want her hating me. So I decided to stay and watch my mate more before I left for the training ground. I already sent a message to Loren and the warriors through the general mindlink abou
I got a mindlink that a rogue was trying to escape from the dungeon. Why would all this happen when I wanted to stay out of violence for the time being because of my mate? "Another problem, your majesty. The rogue killed five of the guards," the person continued.I stopped moving for a second. If there was any rogue that could kill five of my guards while escaping, it must be one of Alpha Jasper's men that I captured recently.Alpha Jasper wasn't a rogue king but he trains rogues into deadly weapons to fight his battles. The last encounter was when more than a dozen broke into my border and killed three of my men. In anger, I had gone there and slaughtered them all except for the leader who I kept to get information."Get him to the silent room and make sure the instruments are ready," I instructed, clenching my jaw. I bit down my anger to its limit so as not to affect the people that are few distances away from me."I will dispatch the training for today," Loren said, sending a mind
Brynlee Pov"You… got hurt? There… there is blood on your hands" Those were the words that I could squeeze from my mouth after seeing the blood on his hands. I was afraid that my thoughts might be true. I was even more frightened that maybe it wasn't true and my mate was in danger.At first, I struggled with the fact that his uncle was right. He was right that I was not fit to be here. Although Maverick had explained a lot about their kind to me, it was hard to process the fact that they were like the creature I saw not long ago.Deep down, I wasn't afraid of him, rather I wanted to see him in his true form. I don't wish to be left in the dark. I wanted him to show me the truth he had been telling me since I met him.I want to see the lycan who married me. Was that possible?I waited for him to explain the blood in his hands but I rather saw a complicated look on his face. He was looking away, his eyes locked elsewhere from mine. That was the first time I have seen him struggle to an
Brynlee PovI was glad that Maverick came and the uncle was gone. But I was still confused about the whole scenario. I was wondering if I was having a daydream while standing. How could such a creature exist? And why does it look so damn scary?Another thing that baffled me was the fact that the creature and Uncle Berth to vanish just like that. That was also impossible! It wasn't a movie. Although I didn't want to be influenced by his uncle's words, I was determined to know who these people really were. Who exactly were the lycans? What is their true form and are they as scary as the creature I saw? Was I in danger? These thoughts haunted my mind as I followed Maverick to the room. I could feel his concern for me but then and my eyes caught the bloodstains in his hands or claws. I remembered the creature I saw earlier. It has claws too and the most dangerous pair of eyes. Were they all like that? Although I was frightened, I ask him about the blood and he explained to me but I want
" I told you, I will never hurt you. I can't afford to do that. You are my wife and my life. How could I hurt myself?"Maverick replied seriously, his hands cupping my face.Yes, I knew he wouldn't. I believe he wouldn't but I was just too afraid every time the image of the creature surfaced before me. "I am sorry. I know I shouldn't doubt you but I am just…"" You don't have to apologize, buttercup. I don't blame you. I took you to a world that existed only in your nightmares," he responded, biting his lips in regret. "I should trust you, still. Besides, you exist only in my deepest fantasy. I don't mind a little nightmare to get to it. I would always choose this nightmare over a million fantasies," I said, drawing closer to him. Maverick smiled and touched my head, "Did I tell you that you are such a sweet talker?" I smiled. I don't care if I was a sweet talker or if I was in love with a monster. All I wanted was my Lycan, loving me with all his heart. "I will show you…" he said
I looked up to see Maverick who was smiling faintly. I could see he was tired. Maybe it was from his busy schedule as well as him checking up on me."She would like me in the future. Don't you know how charming your uncle is, Elise?" He asked, looking at Elise who just shrugged cutely."I know you are handsome, uncle. But Aunt Lee is very gorgeous and some other man can take her away if you don't win her heart very soon," she said, sighing.Maverick bit on his lower lip, his hands making a signal to the maid in the room." Take this brat out of here. She has overstayed her welcome."I wanted to protest but little Elise shook her head as she glared at her uncle." I came to meet my Aunt Lee and since you are here, it would be boring so there is no need for me to stay.""Aunt Lee? Who told you to call her that?" Maverick asked, frowning."My aunt told me I can call her that!""You little…"But he didn't finish his statement before little Elise ran out with the maid running after her. I sh
