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 41
Darian's explanation was far from satisfying, leaving Althea in a state of anger and disbelief. She couldn't understand why he would use such brutal methods to "check" something. Althea glared at him, her wounded hand still throbbing.
"Check? By whipping me? That's abuse, Darian," she snapped, her tone filled with indignation.
Darian's response was far from remorseful. He chuckled at her outrage, remembering the dining incident. "I liked it when you were more scared of me, Althea. Like that day in the dining room; you were like a scaredy cat. It was funny," he confessed, his laughter echoing through the chamber.
Rolling her eyes at his amusement, Althea couldn't help but scoff. "I'm glad I provided you with some entertainment."
Darian's expression shifted, and he ran a hand through his hair as if contemplating his next words. "I needed to be sure I wasn't training you for nothing," he finally explained.
