Chapter 40: Did you do it?
Tricia’s POV
I swallowed hard, and 1 lowered my gare instantly. Lucian can be scary sometimes,
“Should I sleep on the couch?” I asked with a raised brow
“No, we are sleeping on the bed.”
He did not wait for it. Me to reply and pick me up. He carried me in a bridal style.
I widened my eyes in shock and quickly wrapped my hands around his neck so I would not fall..
“Put me down this instant.” I yelled at him. With the hope that he would put me down. “Just keep shut and let’s sleep in prace”
I seethed, my face burning with anger.
“I said you should put me down,” I shouted, struggling in his a
Lucian’s grip tightened.
“Stop wriggling, line witch,” he warned.
1 glared at him.
“This is ridiculous,” Ispat I was tuning in anger. I am trying to understand why the moon goddess put me in this annoying pack. Being with a human is much preferable.
Lucian’s expression remained calm. “I need rest,” he said,
“And how is that my concern? What does that have to do with me? You can rest, no one is stopping you,” I yelled. This handsome freak was really getting on my nerves, and it was now becoming frustrating.
As he laid me on the bed, 1 quickly hurried away.
“Don’t touch me,” Thissed, my eyes shooting daggers at him. If look could kill, then he would probably be dead by now.
Lucian’s eyes narrowed. “We’re sharing this bed,” he reminded me.
1 shot him a cold glare, “As if I did not know. You have said it more than ten times today.” I said through my gritted teeth.
Lucian’s smirk returned
“That was because you keep disturbing me.”
He settled beside me, his proximity unsettling.
I turned me back to him.
“Goodnight, little witch” be whispered.
I did not need to look at him before I knew he was smirking at me.
Lucian is really unbelievable. I believe he was cold and terrifying, just as everyone thought,
But this playful side of him is so frustrating. Or should I say this annoying side of him?
They
y are forcing a maid to spend a night with him. How ridiculous
“Goodnight,” I muttered.
The silence was tense.
Suddenly, Lucian’s hand brushed against mine.
I jerked away.
“What are you doing?” I demanded.
“Ensuring you don’t escape,” he replied, the usual annoying smirk on his lips never leaving for once.
My eyes widened.
“You think I would run? And how would I escape when you are right beside me?” I said in disbelief. Lucian’s par locked onto mine.
“I know you would. This is not your first time anyway. I don’t trust you,”
I buffed, turning my back to him once more.
“You’re suffocating me,” Immuttered, trying to create some distance,
Lucian’s low chuckle sent unsettling shivers down my spline.
“I’m just getting started,” he whispered, his breath dancing across my ear
Chapter 40 Did you d
His words echoed in my mind, filling me with unease and apprehension.
I attempted to divert my attention to my surroundings, taking in the lavish decor
Velvet curtains draped elegantly, and a majestic four–poster bed dominated the room.
Yet, Lucian’s presence eclipsed everything
His captivating scent, his warmth, and his unsettling gaze enveloped me.
I felt trapped, captive to his whims
Suddenly, Lucian’s arm wrapped around me, pulling me close
“Let go!” I demanded, struggling against his grasp
“Sleep, little witch,” he whispered.
His warm breath caressed my ear, sending tremors through my body.
I closed my eyes, msure what to make of Lucian’s whispered claim.
As I drifted off to sleep, Lucian’s warmth wrapped around me
His steady heartbeat hulled me into a restless slumber.
Morning light crept through the curtains.
I woke to find Lucian’s arm still wrapped around me.
His chest rose and fell with each steady breath
Tranebily extricated myself.
Lucian’s eyes flickered open.
“Where are you going?” He demanded.
A deep frown settled on my face. “Of course I’m leaving this room. I can’t stay in bed forever, “I said as a matter of fact, rolling my eyes at him inwardly,
He suddenly looked down at my body and scoffed. You will go out dressed like this? To seduce the guards or what?” he scoffed
was not
I looked down at my body and widened my eyes in horror. The towel I used to cover my body was nowhere to be found, and the dress I wore was helping the matter.
But I could swear I used the towel to cover my body last night. Where is it now
I used my hand to cover my body and shoot him a cold glare-
“Do you also know the dress you gave me was inappropriate? What if someone walked in on us and met me in this state. I don’t want the rumor that I am your mistress spread around the palace.. I can’t deal with it” I said through my gritted teeth.
A soft chuckle suddenly escaped his lips. His eyes glinted with amusement.
“Stay in bed. I will get someone to bring you your uniform.”
He rose to his feet and made his way to the door.
Fortunately, he did not bother to come in again.
Asigh of relief crossed my eyes. Finally, I can breathe without worrying about anything
That bastard. I wish him a miserable life.
His sister is the opposite of him. She is not annoying and overbearing like this jerk.
The door suddenly burst open, and Lyra entered.
She widened her eyes in shock when she saw me on the Alpha’s bed.
She slammed the door shut and walked further into the room.
“Tricia?” She whispered. It was as if she wanted to confirm if I was the one or nut.
“Lyre” I called
She quickly came to sit in
to sit on the bed beside me. She gave me a knowing smile.
I thought Ave was didding, when she said you were unable to come because my brother said you should come to his room. “She said with a big smile on her face, and I nodded.
“Yeah, your brother said I should come here”
Her eyes scanned my body, and she widened them in shock
xer dit. Did you do if
She pointed her index finger at me. “This.” You were dressed in this. Don’t tell me you spent the right here.
“Yes, I did. I spent the night here. The Alpha said this would be any room from today onwards. We even shared the same bed.” Agroan escaped my lips a
Emy as Ispoke What! You shared the same bed? “she suddenly grabbed my hand.
“Tell me. What happened between you guys last night? Did you do it? “she asked, switching to her gossipy mode. Her eyes beamed with excitement.
“What,” I exclaimed and smacked her head playfully.
I
“What do you mean by what we do? I only accompany him to sleep and that’s all” I replied, shrugging my shoulders.
“And did he sleep?” She asked. She was furrowing her brow.
“Yeah, he did.” I state, “This was where I spent my night on the day I was beaten as well. We shared the bed, and he slept soundly.” “Really? That’s great news. my brother is battling severe insomnia and will barely sleep”
