Love Me If You Dare

CHAPTER 4

LYCAN KING POV

THE ANNOUNCEMENT

“Everywhere is filled to the brim your highness… it’s like a carnival out there and they are all curious about this … the new girl” my sister's husband was saying to me, his voice came out with a hint of displeasure.

“What’s wrong with the pack people happy that I found love and peace… you know how much I had struggled to find peace of mind since my wife died!” I shot back at Andrea, how dare he look at my woman with such disdain in his eye.

“I know you think she’s not worth me … or she should be my slave but this woman here… sleeping in my bed… she’s not like those other whores… I met her as a virgin and her spirit helped in cleansing and healing me…

“I feel like living again after meeting her …Andrea, I feel Refreshed!” I was trying to explain to him but my voice came out too loud and filled with excitement and too much emotion.

I stopped myself at once, because he was as well staring at me quizzically from where he stood at the far end of my door, straining his neck to see lovisa but he couldn’t because she had wrapped herself in my duvet.

I had been grinning about how she snuggled herself so like a baby In my duvet, the sight alone brought me happiness. “I want her in my bed everyday … like this” I found myself telling Andrea again. I couldn’t seem to stop talking about lovisa.

“Your people outside want to know how you were able to overcome your wife's death and allow another woman in your bed… and … and house .. they think she’s a messiah or something” Andrea informed me, trying so hard to not sound angry, his voice filled with disinterest.

“I don’t know why you are pissed off, instead of being happy for me … your wife is over the moon about this development” I responded, finally getting out of the couch where I had been sitting and staring at lovisa all through the night as she slept.

Andrea went on to inform me about how my pack people wanted to meet with lovisa and thank her for helping me find myself again and I almost blushed at the information.

“I must have stressed them…a lot with my overbearing and domineering attitude when I was mourning my late wife, I didn’t perceive that I was putting my frustration and anger on them all these while …. They can’t see her now, tell them to come back.. she’s sleeping and I don’t want to scare her” with those words I sent Andrea off.

Lovisa woke up a few moments later with a startle, the fear and panic in her face felt like a thousand needles in my heart, “I’m Sorry … please forgive me lovisa… please!” Those were the first things I said to her.

She opens her mouth in amazement, probably shocked that I’m begging her … the Lycan kings she knew would never beg, but I’m no longer the same …

“I know I hurt you… it’s all my darkness and rage, I’m past that now and I will make it up to you…” I promised her.

She wrapped her naked body with my duvet tighter around her body and sighed In relief even though she didn’t know I noticed it. I didn’t want to scare her so I stood far from her, but my eyes were following hee every movement.

“I…. I… don’t know what’s happening… all the noise outside .. They are calling and shouting my name …” she croaked, her tired voice responding to me, she noticed the large crowd outside, I hissed loudly and cursed under my breath, walked briskly to the call centre in my bedroom.

“Didn’t Andrea disperse the people yet… she need to rest and all the noise is getting to her damn it!” I barked at my Beta through the phone, the fact that she wasn’t feeling comfortable felt like a deep cut in my intestine. I wanted her to be relaxed and happy with me.

My beta was saying something about Andrea not saying anything about dispersing the people and I made a mental note to give him the piece of my mind once I went downstairs. He’s been acting weird since the beginning of this whole incident.

Just then his wife; Alister bursted into my room , with three young ladies walking behind her… brother! It’s time to let the cat out of the bag… let’s take care of her and send her straight to you after that..” she drawled, rolling her eyes playfully at me.

Before I could respond, lovisa was standing by her side, beaming at her, she seemed to be relaxed around my sister, “take your time and show her around … please don’t hurt her … and ughhhh tell mother to give lovisa the key to the penthouse closest to your own building … it’s her personal space henceforth” I found myself gifting lovisa a building just like that.

Everyone in the room including my self were amazed, “I know all these has a back story to it… why are you being so nice and calm with me … you r***d me last nigh, you hurt me and bruised me.. just like my father and mate… you all take and take until there’s nothing to give … please your highness stop all these acts in front of your people '' lovisa rushed out all her thoughts and emotions at me.

To my shock and my sisters’ i didn’t get angry that she shouted at me or disrespected me, all I wanted to do next was to show her how much she has affected me and changed me. Without responding to her, I grabbed her hand and tugged her along with me.

“I will be getting married to lovisa… our wedding date will be announced very soon, please take note that she’s your luna to be and treat her with respect and love…thank you” the noise and expression that came as a response from my people after I announced our incoming wedding was deafening.

Lovisa was staring at me with her mouth wide open, my mother and sister were hugging her with too much happiness, everywhere was happy and at peace, lovisa had brought happiness and joy into my once gloomy pack and I intend to keep that.

Even if it meant burning down all the bridges to get into her heart. I will take my time and be patient with her, “after everything you’ve gone through… it’s understandable that you don’t want me… but I won’t stop trying… I want you to freshen up and get dressed as soon as possible… we are going somewhere” I whispered seductively into her ear.
