Chapter One
Chapter 1: FIGHTING THE BEAST.
LUCIEN POV.
I could feel the light of the day turning dark, a quick fear surged through me, the night always reminds me of the pain that awaits me.
I felt the beast within me struggling to emerge; it was time. The dark wolf power in me rises, a dark thick shadow starts like a whirlwind around my throne.
Strong heat like fire filled everywhere. I could feel my eyes going bloodshot. It had turned to fire.
Boooom I sped up to my awaiting dark large room. I found my way through the door, and it shut immediately when I entered.
I growled loudly, and three huge black beasts jumped out of me with great force, each of them moving backwards with a mighty speed towards the edge of the wall.
It was really dark here, but that's never a problem. I have the ability to see in the dark.
They pressed their tails towards the wall, their bloody eyes piercing me.
I sensed they were ready to devour anything in a few seconds. My dark energy took over me and I turned into a beast also.
Three huge devouring black beasts surrounded me while I stood in the middle, no longer in flesh.
The entire bricks of the room turned pure red like iron in a fire. I knew the heat was coming from me. Thunder fire wolf Alpha.
I remember what the queen mother said, fight the beast very hard, you will become strong, and you will definitely kill them one day.
This is a curse I've been trying to break for 1000 years. Wrauuuuh, a beast scratched me. I jumped on him, and the rest came to fight me.
I strove so hard to kill them, but I only ended up wounding them. Loud scary noises filled everywhere.
After hours, as the daylight prepares to show up. The beast all vanishes. Tomorrow night is the next.
Slowly I turned to the man I used to be as they vanished, and I fell to the ground tired.
I dripped water as if I were coming from the pool, and sweating profusely.
Different scratches were all over my body with blood lined in it. Hot tears dripped down my face. When will this be over?
This is the agony I go through all night. Nobody knows I turned into a beast at night. They only know that noise comes from my room at night.
I managed to stand up with a little strength in me. I need to shower, I'm feeling hot as if a fire is burning me.
I dragged my feet to the fridge, packed a full bowl of ice blocks, and poured them into the bathtub. I lay there.
Within 1mins it all melted into water, but I knew it helped a little. I continued the process of lying in ice blocks until I fell asleep.
“Wait my prince, please stop running? ” I heard the chief maid's fearful voice, but who cares it looks so fun?
“If you can get me, I will give you my throne when it's my turn to be Alpha,” I laughed and ran more.
“You are too playful, my prince, please don't wound yourself as you run. If you get hurt, I will be in trouble,” the chief maid added again.
I laughed as the other maids tried to catch me. I heard my mother's voice from afar:“ Lucien … Lucien.”
I opened my eyes wide. I just had a dream. Memories of years back when I was young come as a dream.
I stood up gently and moved closer to the mirror. I touched my face. I'm still 23 years old. Nothing changed. My handsome face is still the same.
“How do you feel today?” I heard a soft feminine voice behind me.
I didn't bother to look from my power. I can figure out who speaks without seeing the person, even if it's in a crowd. That's one of the special abilities I have.
Who else is the female that dares come to my chamber if not Queen Mother Jessica?
“Painful as usual,” my masculine voice came out low , she is the only one I can open up to. She knows my secret, my pains, and fears.
Queen Mother Jessica is a stepmother to me. She was my late father's first and real mate.
Her inability to conceive made my father get another mate, which is my mother. I never get to see my mother because she didn't survive birth.
After years, that I was birthed. Queen Mother Jessica and also conceived Beta Romeo.
My father titled me Crown Prince because I was his first son, and he loved my mother so much.
He enthroned me before his death.
Queen Mother Jessica has been watching over me since then.
A soft finger trailed down my back wound. The pain brought me back from my deep thoughts.
“Hurrggh,” a soft painful moan left my mouth. Slowly the wound closed, she used her power to heal the wound.
I can also heal myself, but not after an exhausting fight with the beast.
“Go dress up, you're getting married today.”
My eyes open wide, and I can't identify if it's out of shock, surprise, or anxiety.
“You're teasing me, who will ever agree to marry a beast like me?” I chuckled.
“ You haven't turned a beast yet, you just have them in you,” sounds like she wants to comfort me.
“ But I will eventually turn to….. A cursed beast," I turned to see a face.
“ That can only happen if you don't get a moon ice wolf. ”
I laughed out loudly, “Queen Mother.” I touched her cheek gently. “You and I know that moon ice wolves don't exist anymore."
She maintained silence immediately after she heard my words.
She moved around the room. “ Get dressed, you are getting married today. ” She sounded serious as she left my room.
I looked at my huge family bed, and she had arranged a pair of black suit dresses, which looked shiny from smooth ironing.
Black cute pairs of shoes were also arranged neatly with a beautiful fragrance all over the dress.
I had no idea if I should be happy or sad. I know this marriage has nothing to do with helping me erase this curse on me.
I want
To know the lady who decided to marry me after he had heard a lot about me already.
