Tokia’s POV
“You can only benve after I fall asleep. I will be generous enough to let you sit on the bed” He said, bing on the bed
“What?” Texclaimed in shock What the heck Woold 1 have to wait until he fell asleep? Is he insane, or what? Am La watchdog?
“You are making noise, please. I guess you don’t want to leave on time.” He said and closed his eyes. His head was facing the ceiling, but I could tell he was not asleep at first glance
-that bastard
Icouldn’t stand for too long and decided to sit on the bed with him
1 sat on the soft HD and had the urge to sleep immediately. The herbs were so inviting and soft. Lalmost slept on it.
I shook my head to drive away the sleepiness that did not want to let me be. He would I even know if the man was asleep?
“Are you asleep,” Lasked, and a varen followed.
- o. Five minutes had
“Not yet, he replied without opening his eyes. 1 widened my eyes in horror. What the heck? almost screwed it lood, but I retrained myself from doing so. passed, and he had yet to fall asleep. I was already tired, and I needed to sleep
I was exhausted and desperate to rest
Ten more minutes they were ticked by..
“Lucian, are you—
“I’m not asleep yet.”
„he interrupted, his eyes still shot.
My frustration grew
Was he doing this on purpose?
Would he ever fall asleep?
I glanced around the room, searching for a clock.
Time, Teemed to cast God. Tran my hands through my hair in frustration. I am very sime I will wake up with big dark circles under my eyes tomorrow morning. That one is
I decided to get fully on the HD1 will wait until falls asleep while Trest here
I did not know how I drifted to sleep afterward. The bed is so inviting,
The next day. The morning sunlight peeped through the curtain and cast on my beautital face. I opened my eyes study, and a yawn escaped.
I was surprised to feel a strong a wrapped around me
Who is this?
The familiar scent of Lucian enveloped me. My instinct kicked in, and I opened my eyes instantly. I was shocked to the bone to see his face this close to mine. Our lips were almost touching. He was sleeping peacefully with no care in the world.
He looks even more breathtaking with his face this close, Goodness, the moon goddess really took her time when creating this man. How can a man be this handsome?
That was when I noticed he had long lashes- en longer than mine. He looks like a character from a comic book.
He looks peaceful now that he is asleep. I wish he would sleep forever instead.
I don’t know how I ended up falling asleep in his room. And we were em hugging each other tightly. He can kill me for that if he finds out I need to get out of this place before the sleeping Lion wakes up
I tried to get out of his arms, but I couldn’t. His grip on me was so tight that I could not even move an inch, What if I wake up? Him up again with my struggle. I should pretend to be asleep as well
My eyes fell on his red send plump lips, and 1 gulped down my saliva nervously. I had the urge to loss him. I moved my face closer to his. Just as I was about to kiss him, he opened his eyes immediately.
I widened my eyes in horror and quickly closed my eyes. But it was already
by late. I’m sure he saw me trying to kiss him.
I hope he will let this slide and not make things awkward for me. I was only trying to steal a kiss from the Greek pod. Who could have thought he would wake up?
He suddenly let go of me. He was freeing me from his grip
You can open your eyes. I know you are awake.” I heard his soft voice behind my ear, and my face timed red instantly out of barrassment. He should have just pretended he saw nothing and let it go.
Topened my eyes slowly and sad hi staring right at me. Laverted any gaze away from him. Unable to. Make eye contact with him. My face wasted like that of a tomato. They were showing how barrassed I was
“Go good morning your majnay.” My voice trailed off I couldn’t help but stutter.
The corner of his lips curved upward_forming an evil smirk. 111. The usual cold aura teturned.
“What were you trying to do matter?” He questioned. He was narrowing his gaze.
I gulped down the lump in my tant, and I qui kly sat straight on the bed. At the same time, I was using the duct to cover my body.
“The thing is, I was trying to get out of your embrace, but you were holding onto me tightly.” I said, trying my best to sound as sincere as possible
A cold chuckle suddenly forced self out of as throat is that why you wanted to kiss me?” He asked with a raised brow. Grabbing my chin to look at him
“Of course not,” Treplied through my gritted teeth. “Me? Are you trying to kiss me? When what? You’ve got the wrong person?” I said, trying to feign ignorance. I forcefully removed my chin from his grasp, massaged it gently, and resisted the urge to coll my eyes at hin
“Are you saying my eyes are playing tricks on me or what?”
“Exactly my point ” I said hastily. I was trying to prove my innocence.
You are very bad at lying. You wanted to kiss me and you have the nerve to lie to me” He started coldly.
“Well I know you won’t believe it but regardless, I am sorry. Such will never happen again. And I’m sorry for sleeping on your bed as well. Lapologized and bowed my head
immediately.
“Well, I will let this slide because I had a good night’s sleep,” he said, and I nodded.
“Thank you so much, sir. I’m grateful for your KIND HART intentionally emphasized the kind heart to show my sarcasm.
I did not wait for him to reply to me before nanning out of his room.
1 slammed the door shut, and I greeted the guards.
“Good morning guys.” I greeted and forced out a smile.
Morning “They replied politely with a big smile on their faces
This took me off guard, though. I thought all the guards here were rode jerks, just like the Alpha Rude and bossy, I never expected any of them to be this nice.
“Have a nice day wished them and prepared to walk away, but a pitched voice made me stop in my tracks inmediately
“Where the bell are you coming from?”
I turned around immediately to see the owner of the voice. I was s
surprised to see the so–called Luna standing some feet away from me. Her eyes were shooting daggers at me
