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 55
In the private room, the atmosphere was one of subdued luxury. Soft candlelight flickered, casting a warm glow on the ornate furnishings.
Deep hues of red and gold adorned the walls, creating a regal ambiance. Darian's mother, occupied a chair at a polished wooden table, her legs crossed with an air of nonchalance.
Her silver hair cascaded in waves, a stark contrast to the deep lines etched on her face.
Despite the wrinkles, there was an undeniable strength in her gaze. Darian entered the room, wearing a mix of regal attire and an air of vulnerability.
"You look beautiful as ever," Darian said kissing her cheek.
"Beautiful? Don't try to sweet-talk me, Darian. You know better than that," she retorted, her eyes narrowing in mock suspicion.
Darian chuckled at his mother's response. "I'm serious, Mother. You're as elegant as ever."
