Fated Bonds; The Lycan Chosen Queen
“I can only be the villain for you. Never to you” “I don't care…because I would do the same” Althea said with a slight smirk on her lips. *** All her life, Althea wanted a simple life. She had the love of her life and she would have his kids. But everything changed when he broke her heart. The King of Elodonia is now looking for a mate. One to be his queen and wife. Althea prays she would not be chosen but unfortunately fate wasn't on her side. But who said the king was looking for a queen? No, he was looking for his next plaything and he may have found his victim in the heart of a young woman. Life wasn't a bed of roses, so don't expect fluffiness in the castle.
Chapter 39
Valentine's offer of an evening walk hung in the air, and Althea couldn't help but feel a flutter of surprise. Her mind had been occupied with the recent nightmares and her baffling experience. She looked at Valentine, her brown eyes locked with his deep blue ones, and let out a soft chuckle.
"Oh, you're asking me out," Althea said with a playful grin, her attempt at levity to break the lingering tension that clung to her like a phantom of the past.
Valentine raised an eyebrow, offering a small, amused smile in return. "Well, yes, I suppose I am," he replied, his voice tinged with a hint of humor. "After all, an evening walk in good company can be quite refreshing, don't you think?"
Althea nodded, and her expression softened as she considered the idea. She had always been one to appreciate the simple pleasures of life, and a tranquil walk sounded like an inviting way to step away from the chaos and confusion that had been plaguing her thoughts.
