Dangerous Lycan: Claim Betrayed Luna’s Second Chance Mate

Why I hadn’t pulled away from his lips was even much more mysterious than why he had kissed me in the first place. I wouldn’t say everything happened so fast because I had seen him move closer. I had every second to yell a stop at him or pull away from his hold but instead I just wanted to look into his eyes a bit longer. It’s like they charmed me. I pulled away from him as soon as he let go of my neck.

“Why did you do that?”

“I… I” he stuttered.

I didn’t know if I would understand whatever reason that he would have said nor wait any longer to hear his words. I backed away and walked out of his chambers. Nothing made sense, one minute we were in an argument were he just proclaimed me his personal maid. The next, his lips rested on mine and it was perfect.

As I laid back on the bed the image of Kieran’s eyes flashed on my mind. Even when I tried to think of something else, the thought always somehow managed to get in my head again. The incident was on repeat. Replaying in my mind every time I tried to close my eyes. I loved that he had kissed me and at the same time, it felt weird.

I trailed my hand on my body as I thought about the moment he held my neck. From the strong grip and then the cold look in his eyes. It just kept going like a circle. I turned towards the window and watched as the wind made the curtains dance gradually, a smile crept to my lips and slowly, my eyelid fell close to sleep.

The several bangs on the door pulled me out of sleep. I rushed out of bed. The sun wasn’t up yet and the sky till held its darkness. I pulled the door open without even thinking and I found a guard and Magdalene standing right in front of me.

“Magdalene.”

“Yes, Clara.”

“Why are you here this early? Is everything okay?”

“Yes of course.”

“Then why are you here?”

I scrubbed my eyes with the back of my palm.

“I have been instructed to give you this?” She handed me a box.

“What is in it?”

“It contains your maid uniform and a list of what the king wants.”

Oh shit! He really wasn’t bluffing. But the kiss! How would I face him after the kiss?

Facing Kieran again after what happened was something I really hadn’t thought about. I just wanted to lock myself up in my room for the next few days until everything dies down before I would be able to face him again. But Kieran seemed to have other plans. He always knows what next to do to put me in a daring position. I didn’t know how to look at him. But now I didn’t just have to face him but be with him and attend to every of his needs. It was more than torture.

Shits just got worse.

I opened the box, there was a dress in it but it didn’t look like the dress most of the maids wore. It was different, a blue dress. In a different scenario, I would say that it was pretty. There was noteand a key in the box with a head scarf. The note was a list. More like a schedule for Kieran including what he would have for breakfast.

“Apple pie and a cup of coffee,” I scoffed, “At least its not a whole menu. I’ll just have to avoid his eyes and everything would be just fine.”

By the time I got to his chambers, he wasn’t there.From NôvelDrama.Org.

“Oh thank God, I’ll just get this water warm and his breakfast. Then I’ll be out of here.”

By the time I set his bath, I left to the kitchen to get his breakfast but when I returned, the door wasn’t locked.

“You look good in that?” I heard his voice from behind.

“I guess you picked a right fit. Good morning. Your bath is ready,” I didn’t turn to face him just yet.

“Oh, I have had my bath already. I just need to eat.”

“Okay, the instruction from the note said that you would have your breakfast in your chambers so I was just setting the table for you,” and then I finally turned to face him. My eyes met his solid chest right in front of me. Beads of water droplets rolled down on his golden skin that sparkled as the lights from the bulbs reflected on them. His nipples were dark brown and pointy. And his pants laid a bit below his waist. I couldn’t control my breaths as I turned away sharply.

“You didn’t leave a clean robe for me,” he said.

“I am sorry,” I gasped as I hurried to get it where I had forgotten it on his bed.

“Here you go,” I handed it to him avoiding his face and the rest of his body.

“You seem tensed,” he noticed.

“I am fine, I am just here to do my job and leave.”

“Then do it.” His bossy and arrogant tone sent waves of anger through my mind. Normally, I would have lashed off at him and we would go on and on again. But instead, I only managed a smile and took up the tray to his table. As he settled in, I turned to leave.

“Clara,” His voice suddenly sent the spark again but yet again, I didn’t say anything. I only turned back and faced him.

“This was the only way I knew you would agree to see me. And about last night…”

“Stop. I don’t want to talk about that. Look Kieran, enjoy your meal. Call me if you need me,” I made to leave again.

“Hey,” as I heard his voice, I lost every cool that I had managed to secure. How dare he?

“What?!” I yelled and turned towards him. He had set the other pieat the other end of the table where I stood.

“I can only eat one pie.”

“But the instruction on the note stated that you needed two.”

“The other one is for you.”

“For me? Why?”

“I don’t want to eat alone. At least not today.”

“Look Kieran I have to go.”

“And if I say please.”

“Still doesn’t change anything. You assigned me a task and I must carry it out.”

“Please stay and eat with me.” And for the first time since I ever heard him speak at that meeting, he sounded very much polite. I wondered what had changed and refused to believe that the kiss could change anything between us. I couldn’t fall for him, not a ruthless man who might just be like Ryan again. I just couldn’t risk my heart being shattered and even if I knew that I had to avoid him as much as I can, I couldn’t say no. Not after how he sounded.

Somehow, I felt honoured to be served with such politeness and so I pulled out the chair and settled in front of him. But I didn’t eat, I just couldn’t. I just sat there wondering what could be in his head.

“Why are just staring at me? Eat,” he smiled.

I frowned at him, “Why are you suddenly being so nice? What are you up to?”

I looked at the pie in front of me.

“Wait? You actually think it is poisoned?” He chuckled, “come on, if I wanted to kill you, I would have done that a long time ago.”

“Well, I didn’t ruin your perfect speech then.”

“I am the Lycan King, Clara. Poisoning you is a petty way to kill you.”

“Now that sounds more like you,” I folded my arms leaning to the chair.

“I just want us to talk.”

“If it is about last night, I don’t want to talk about it.”

“Well, that was one of it but I also wanted to…”

We were distracted by the presence of a guard.

“What is it?”

“There is someone here to see you. He said it is a matter of urgency.”

“And who might this person be disrupting my breakfast.” Kieran asked almost furious.

“He called himself the Alpha King.”
