CONTRACT WITH THE LYCAN KING

Chapter 6

Diana POV

He walked passed and reached out to me and my heart throbbed faster as he approaches. With every steps that he takes, it seemed as if it was a must that I was going to be attracted to him.

I felt that if he was going to kill me by his own hand, I will not be able to feel the pain of death. It was my fate and I have already seen it with my own eyes.

He faced looking down at me, he was so tall, handsome. His hair was made as if he was on a war front.

His hand reached out to me and touched my chin, raising my face slowly to his. Immediately all my thoughts flushed away as he gazed upon me

I was now filled with fear, shivering in front of him. It seemed that he was quietly inspecting me.

'Maybe his thinking of different was I could die' I thought.

Narrowing his eyes, he stared into mine and my wolf gasped. It was the first time ivy has done this. She would not talked as she had remained speechless.

From my chin, he notices my red swollen eyes that was a result of the many nights that I had cried as days wentby while I watched my mate show love to another wolf.

Marcus sighed. his face remained still and at last, he spoke, "I will decide what to do with her," his voice was cold and deep yet soft sending shock waves through me.

"But for now…" he moved away from me and faced Henry. "She is mine!"

Henry stood still, gulping his own saliva. He looked away as he squeezed his face in anger. "Yes, Alpha Marcus," he said raising his head. "For now… I am sure I will explain this misconception very soon enough, lycan king."

Marcus nodded as he signalled to his gamma, Berbos to take me away.

I watched as Henry looked on with acute determination as if that he cares. My heart was already broken because of him. Moving further away from my mate kept me in heart aches but it seemed strange as this hurtful feeling was being healed up by the fact that I was able to see the lycan king.

I could not even notice when I was finally brought into the room in the quarters where Alpha Marcus was being lodged in the Mystic valley pack while Berbos locked the door behind him forcefully.

I looked around the room, it was partially decorected and at the same time, empty. I looked at myself as I could not help feel betrayed.

My thoughts lined up in assumptions

'Henry had caused all this!'

'What is the Lycan King going to do to me now?'

Walking to the window, I watched out from it and looked at the pack house in which I stayed all the lovely nights with Henry. Reminding myself of the memories before our marriage, tears welled up in my eyes.

……….

I opened my eyes, lo ad behold, it was already evening as I pushed myself from the bare floor and I saw myself in the same sets of clothes.

The room was dark and then when I looked around, I noticed that there was a figure in the dark space. I was not sure of for the figure was but I was frightened at the sight of it that I retraced back a bit and the figure growled lowly.

The figure did not charge at me but it was difficult to know it instincts.

It was as if it had been watching me throughout the whole day. Within seconds, I watched as the figure stood up from the dark and it was then that I had relaxed that I was faced with a terrifying face of the lycan King, Marcus.

He stood above me staring right at my eyes. he strolled nearer and he perceived my scent the more.

All this while, he had not spoken a word and it was strange as he always cling around me like a meal about to be feasted upon.

"What are you going to do to me?" I said to him, my voice trembling.

I waited for him to respond to my words but he did not respond and then I said again, "I am prepared to die or you can have me as your prisoner," and then, he narrowed his eyes and bent down looking up at me perceiving my scent the more.

"Why do you want to die?" he asked. "or don't you also know that I can free you and let you live and then, you are going to return to your husband and mate?"

I signed sorrowfully. it was of no use, my voice became weak and he notices it. Trying to bring up my courage I say to him, " it is better you let me die than for me to go back to my marriage. I don't consider that a marriage even if he is my mate"

Ivy, my wolf was hurt at my words. He knew that I didn't mean them. But I could no longer long to see my mate with another wolf and he totally understands that.

He stood up back again and then he walked down to the sofa and relaxed. he asked, " what do you want?"

I was surprised at his words and I was also shocked at the same time. I did not think he's going to ask me of that and even if he was going to free me, I am still going to be hated especially in the werewolf lands for summoning the lycan King to the pack.

Bowing my head slightly. I thought and said to him, "I don't want my marriage again even if it means that I'm going to die. it will be better to die than stay with the man that wouldn't want anything to do with me than to hurt me and betray me for the fun of it"

My words irritated me but I was used to now. this time around, even if he is not going to kill me or going to take me as a prisoner, still, I felt something different around him as I felt his eyes all over me as if he was watching me and anyone that goes close to me.

"So you want to stay away from your marriage?" he asked again. hi voice deep this time as it pierced my soul.

"No," I answered him. I would not like to stay away from my marriage, i would like to end it because it's not something that I wished that I would return to.

I watched him as he listened to my words. But he was still reserved as he had spoken no words.

I still sat on the floor and he stretched out his hand to me. I was afraid as it showed in my reflexes in reaction to him stretching out his hand. I slowly put my hand in his. and at that moment, my heart throbbed faster.

I have never had this type of feeling before even with my mate. my hands trembled in his hand while his was firm.

He did not show any sign of emotion towards me but I was all into him. "I am going to save you from your marriage, as I've seen and I am sure that alpha Henry does not consider you his luna because the woman, Veronica is carrying his child and the pack is in support of her." He said.

At that moment, I was glad that he had understood why I was willing to die but I was sure that I was going to offer something in return. But I would never know what he was going to ask in return. I shivered as he draw closer to me.

"As you can see, no one recognizes you and even your father has been thrown into sadness at what had happened. But I don't stand in their little affairs."

he angled the neck at me and spoke softly into my ears, "you belong to me now and I am going to use you as I please."

My eyes widened with fear. I could not make eyes contact again with him and as he notices this, he tried consoling me.

"Don't be afraid. you're going to be a free very soon but you would have to be my contract Luna for 2 years and then after that, you are going to be free. you are just going to have to follow my orders."

I looked back at him steadily but now, not with fear but at the verge of falling for him.

I gasped as He let me go and went towards the door. "I would have the servants attends to you but you have to know that I am not going to force you to accept this contract but you have to choose between going back to your marriage with Alpha Henry or coming with me to become my contract Luna." He said.

"I am sure my father would be pleased," he added as he walked pass the door.
