I'm in a bad correction the worst mood today. It has nothing to do with the fact that I had to go to sleep with the prince, aka Lucien. His father trapped my aunt and the son is after me. I will kill them both. I know it, even though I'm not stronger than them. I sure was a smart girl, and I had the blessings of my parents. I zombie walked to my bedroom after we were reshuffled back to our respective bedrooms.
These bedrooms were not ours. We weren't supposed to sleep on it unless we are requested. Is there any kind of insult less than that, as if we want to sleep there? I don't even want to spend a second with him. But I will defy his rules, if he didn't want me to sleep in his bed I would definitely do it. I was still wearing slippers while climbing on the bed, which smelt like him. Generally, all the lycans smelled courtesy of their water abomination. But Lucien might be bathing at least once a day. He wasn't walking stench, at least. I felt much better now that I was defying some rules instead of obeying everything and every one.
"Why are you wearing slippers on my bed"?, a voice thundered above me. I jumped at his voice, I didn't hear any noise of him entering that quiet bastard. "I thought this was my room as well ", I said, giving him a fake smile. I could see a glimmer of amusement in his eyes. It was a blink and miss thing. My mind was playing games. I'm sure he hates me. I hate him with equal passion. "I don't want you dirtying my bed. You are welcome to sleep on it. I know the couch is uncomfortable ", he said seriously. "Oh yeah! To what do I owe this pleasure? Moreover, where will you sleep?", I asked him.
"In my bed where else", he said, climbing on the other side. I was immediately on my alert. I shot up and cast a dry look on his direction. "No. I won't sleep with you. You can shove your shitty idea of seducing me", I said. "Believe me darling seducing you is the last thing I have on my mind", he said, a little distracted at the sight of my dress hiked up to my knee. I immediately draw it down. This wasn't going to work. The idea of breaking the rules have come to bite me on my ass. "Fuck. What have I gotten myself into", I muttered? "It's a fine deal considering how you are sleeping in my bed without even lifting a finger to please me", he said smugly.
"Maybe I should be with the king. It sounds way more comfortable and luxurious than a lowly prince ", I told him. The anger flickered in his eyes, I was afraid he is going to kill me in a second. He took a deep breath in an attempt to control himself.
"I would never allow you to go within ten feet of my father", he said, anger still evident in his voice. "You are afraid for the life of your father. You the mighty lycans afraid of a slip of a human like me", I told him. He looked surprised at my words but didn't say anything.
"You can sleep here comfortably, but for that, I have to do a body check up on you. Just to make sure you are not hiding any knives to slit my throat in sleep", he said. "Over my dead body. I will not allow you to feel me up. You can forget about that. Bloody creep", I said scathing. He shrugged his shoulders. I huffed at him.
"The alternative would be to tie you up", he said. "But you slept last night", I said. "No I didn't. I'm not a fool", he said with laughter. I slept last night with him. Likewise, I know I was a fool without him telling me.
"You can let me go and sleep peacefully ", I told him. "No, I want to make sure you aren't up to anything", he said. "I can hide the weapon, you know", I told him. "Yes that's also possible, but the room has no candle, and it's going to take forever stumbling to find it, not to mention there's no moonlight to aid you. Plus, I can see in the dark very well", he said.
I know he is baiting me. I won't be falling for his words. I need to get his trust. He is helping me though unknowingly about lycans. I can very well use him for my plan. I only have to act as though I was smitten by him. Then he will give me free rein and I can hunt down his father.
But I can't just take an u turn and suddenly become friendly. He will be no doubt but become suspicious of me. I have to earn his trust. For that, I should play well. He has some doubts regarding my goals,, but he has no clue how dangerous were they.
"If you have any humanity left, you won't touch me inappropriately. Here tie my wrists", I raised my hands to him. He looked astonished by that. I was smiling inside. Perhaps the new plan is undoubtedly what I need to achieve my goals.
"No. I guess it's ok. After all I have super hearing skills, something's you should be aware of before you try anything. I won't hesitate or ask any explanation. One wrong move, and you will be going down", he said menacingly. I nodded my head. I'm going to sleep tonight and make some new plans in order to make the prince fall in love with me. But it's not for any happily ever after but for some badass killings starting his father.
I didn't know how to make anyone fall in love. I was never that kind of girl. I was the girl who runs while hearing the words boys, not of shyness but of fear. I was afraid of falling in love. I lost too many loved ones to count. But Lucien was only a ploy, not a real love interest. I think I can manage just fine.
