Absolute Possession Of The Alpha King

from me and I said; I don need her. She is useless to me and I had already chosen my own mate, who is more beautiful and smarter than her. ” Those were all lies and Lucian didn seem to care whether Lyra realized it or not, since he was not really into telling her the truth about what was actually happening. ”Are you satisfied now? ”

Lyra didn seem to believe him, but his words implying he chose her over Yara, really sounded great in her ears, thus sullenly she repeated her question. ”Why did the king want to keep Yara? ”

Lucian shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.

”I don know. ”

”I met Yara at the main gates and she said that you know the real reason why the king chose her. ” Lyra wouldn be satisfied until she found out the truth of it.

At least the words that she wanted to hear…

”She was just a plaything, Lyra … it just happened that the king saw her. ” Lucian sighed. ”I can say that he is probably tired of her, thats why he let her out of his room. Maybe the king doesn want her anymore now. ”

He beckoned Lyra to sit on his lap and the girl obeyed him like the good girl she was. ”You know right, the king can get any woman that he wants. He must be so bored of her that he let her out.. ”

To stop Lyra from asking any more questions that could hurt his head in return, Lucian simply sealed her lips with his and this was efficient enough to distract her.

Yet, Lucian didn find joy in kissing Lyra, since there was no spark between them like how it did with Yara …

If touching Yara could excite him, he couldn imagine how it felt to go further with her.

It was something that Lyra couldn offer…

***

Yara enjoyed her walk in the city and bought a few things that she liked with the money the king gave her to spend. At first, she rejected it, but the king had his ways to make her yield.

Well, actually the only thing that the king did to make Yara accept the money was stared down at her and that alone already made her falter.

But then again, it was nice to have someone to take care of you … it had been a long time for Yara to have someone looking after her.

Ever since the word useless was stuck with her name, no one in the castle would give her the attention and affection that she needed as a little child. Though she was already used to it now, it felt great when you have someone to rely on.

Yara halted in her steps when she noticed the sky was almost dark, but she could already see the main gates, so she wouldn be late like what she had promised to the king.

Because at this moment, she was already considering it ….

Be it the king wanted her by his side because of the mysterious ability that she possessed, or he just wanted a servant to serve him. Yara found herself wanting to give it a try … she wanted to go out of this place…

Away from people who hurt her and away from the mate that didn want her. Maybe because Yara didn have any expectations of Lucian or the mate bond they shared, she did not hurt that much when she thought about leaving him ….

Yes, the mate bond started to fade away, just like a flower, it could be withered if it wasn nurtured properly.

With that thought, a smile appeared on Yaras lips. She remembered those peaceful days when she was in the kings chambers.

Although it made her anxious, if she thought about it again, those days were the most peaceful days of her life…

And when she walked toward the main gates of the castle, Yara could feel her steps turn very light. There was a hope for her to live a decent life.

However, like any other plan, this one also did not want to go smoothly…

Because the moment Yara walked past an alley, someone pulled her rather harshly into that narrow space and covered her mouth to prevent her from screaming.

…

The sun had set, but the girl had not yet returned from the city as she promised.

The guards at the main gates had been inquired, but they also didn know about Yaras whereabouts.

Where the hell did she go?

”Maybe she ran away, ” Lucian said as the night had fallen and they had been waiting for Yara for almost two hours since the sun disappeared behind the horizon.

Julius gave the Alpha an incredulous look. There was no way Yara could have gathered such courage to run away at this moment. If she could, she would have run off from this castle the moment her fellow healers or other people started mistreating her.

Not only that, Julius knew his daughter very well that she wouldn break the promise that she made, especially to the king.

”No way, ” Julius said in a low voice, but it was enough for the king to hear.

Dageus didn know the girl well, but he trusted her fathers words more than the Alphas, therefore when he heard the soft affirmation, he ordered Alarick to bring all the warriors with him and find the girl in the city.

What he meant by finding her in the city was that they must check every house and every alley to find her. No matter what it took, he wanted her now.

”Yes, My King, ” Alarick said, obliging to the direct order from the great king. He knew that the girl was important to the king.

Just like what Dageus had thought of Yara, Alarick also had the same thoughts about her.

And with that order, he took half of the royal warriors with him to find Yara, turning the city upside down just to catch a whiff of her whereabouts.
