Broken bonds: Loving the Lycan King

004

My mind went blank as disbelief washed through me. My mind then wandered to the words Asher told me last night.

By nobody saving me from him, did he mean attacking my pack and enslaving me? The mere thought sends shivers down my spine.

Alpha Asher's cruel methods are known throughout the pack. Known as the rogue Alpha, his pack consists mostly of rogues and survivors of a tragedy that happened eighteen years ago. I wasn't born yet and the people who were around back then were forbidden from saying anything about it.

It's said that he built his pack from nothing. Although people don't like talking about his past, rumour has it that his parents were killed when he was young and forced to flee his home. He lived as a rogue until he came back five years ago and built the most formidable pack, Blood moon pack.

Just like the name suggests, they live to shed blood.

When I realised that he was my mate, I stupidly believed that by showing him true love, he would revert to being a normal person.

It worked at first or maybe, that's what he wanted to show me until that night.

A lone tear slipped past my cheek.

I didn't need anyone to tell me the fate of the pack if Asher decided to attack.

We had managed to live in harmony with his pack, even shared borders so why was he planning to attack us? I shook my head into denial when I realised that it was all my fault he turned against us.

Looking at my father, I could see the helpless look on his face. He was aware of the disaster ahead of us.

Looking at his handsome face, he seemed to have aged ten years.

Taking a deep breath, I made up my mind.

“ Can I have a word with you? In private.” I asked and Julian nodded before stepping outside. Giving one last look at my father, I smiled at him.

He has done so much for me and the pack, as the next alpha, it was my time to do something for him and the pack and make amends.

I know that my father would never blame me but that doesn't mean I don't blame myself.

“ Shall we go to your room?” The Lycan king asked, giving me a smile.

I frowned. What gave him the impression that I wanted to go to my room with him?

“You wanted to talk to me in private. Well, I'm just making sure it's to your satisfaction. Why? Are you afraid I will try something inappropriate?” The man asked with c****d brows and I looked away in embarrassment.

I can't deny that's what I was thinking.

I heard the man beside me chuckle.

“ Don't worry, I'm not in a hurry to claim your body and soul.” He added and I don't know why his words didn't sound gross coming from him.

I led him to our house and inside my room. With everyone around, I doubt he would try something funny.

After sitting on the sofa and the man shamelessly taking my bed, I took a deep breath.

“ You don't need to act like you are going to war. It's just me and I think you should get used to your husband.” He declared and I found myself glaring at him. God, he was so full of himself!

“ I never said yes.” I retorted hoping to shut him up but only managed to provoke him.

I watched with widened eyes as he covered the distance between us with a single step.

I leaned on the sofa when he hovered above me, his hands trapping me between them.

His eyes scanned my face, his hot breath tickling my skin.

“ You didn't say yes but the fact that we are here, inside your room is an answer enough for me. I need you and you need me, it's a fair deal. Marry me and I will help you teach your enemies a lesson.”He whispered into my ears and I shuddered. His musky body scent invaded my nostrils and my wolf purred in delight. The fact that his face was dangerously near and his lips almost kissing me had me pressing my legs together, a wave of arousal washing through me.

“ Can you move away?” The words came out weaker than I intended them. His close proximity was really messing with my mind and body.

Julian chuckled before straightening himself.

“I will have my Beta draft the papers. After you sign them, you will move to our home.” Julian said.

The word home sounded… warm coming from him. It tickled my heart.

“ I have a condition.” Seeing that he was prepared to leave, I knew it was now or never.

“I'm listening.” He said without turning my way.

“ You should know why I'm married to you. Don't ask me more than I can offer.” I negotiated.

My words finally made him turn around as he gave me a serious scrutiny.

“ What do you mean?” He asked in his deep masculine voice.

There was a hint of danger in his voice that should have scared me but why did it only serve to turn me on? Was that crazy? Definitely yes, yet I had to press my legs together as a sweet sensation washed through.

I cursed Mars, my wolf, for reacting that to zero stimulation. Was she that horny? Julian was watching me with amusement, probably smelling my arousal.

I cleared my throat to hide my embarrassment.

“Since we will be husband and wife, I will fulfil my duties as your mate but you have to promise to not force me into anything.” I explained and he nodded.

“ That sounds okay. I really don't care about anything as long as you are mine!” He declared.

“Anything else?” He asked and I shook my head.

“ Stay away from other men. You are mine now.I don't like how that boy looks at you.”
