Chapter 2
Chapter Two
Lucian
“The Duke is paying special attention to my daughter.” King Robert murmurs, his eyes trained on them, and I can’t help but do the same thing because it’s like nothing I have felt before, “I want you to keep an eye on him. I don’t know what his intentions are with her, but I know how much he craves power and I’m not going to let him hurt my daughter.”
My eyes are trained on her, feeling this possessive desire building inside of me like it is nothing that I have felt before. She is absolutely beautiful, that is the first thing that I ever noticed about the princess. With her long, flowing black hair and beautiful blue eyes, she is the epitome of perfection. She’s not very tall, that much I had noticed in the very beginning, and she does have really nice curves that are shown off by her clothing.
The Duke’s hands are on her waist, and it makes me sick to my stomach, tempted to yell at him to stop touching her. I have never felt so possessive before, a craving within me that is desperate for a lot more. I have no idea what is going to come from it, the temptations of so much more but it’s like something else that I need to do.
The Beast inside of me is growling, desperate to move closer and it’s like nothing I have ever felt before. I want to do so much more to her, wanting to cart her away and not dare let anyone touch her because she is mine. I have never felt like that in my entire life, and I’m tempted to do a lot more.
I just need to follow them.
Noticing how the Duke is guiding her away, it is making me feel a little sick to my stomach. I have no idea what is going to come from it, but I’m tempted to do a lot more, licking my bottom lip. I don’t know what he is going to do but I want to do a lot more. When I look at him, it’s a temptation filling me on the inside that is going to make me crave a lot more.
I guess I better figure out what is going to come from it.
I just want to be close to her.
I just need to make sure that she is safe.
He is leading her out of the ballroom and that is a red flag immediately, making my stomach churn. I have no idea what is going to come from it, but it is definitely like nothing I have ever felt before, needing so much more to protect her. I don’t know what he is going to do but I keep to the shadows.
I can tell what he is doing, seeing the malicious gleam in his eyes when he looks at her. It makes me sick to my stomach, longing to rip his head off but I’m also worried that I might end up upsetting her in the process. I don’t want to think about that because I don’t want her worrying about him. I just want her to see what is going on.
“Why do you not have a mate?” Duke Steven asks her, making my stomach churn because why does he think he can ask the Princess that.
“I don’t know, it’s just what happened.” She explains to him, bowing her head slightly, “I mean truthfully, I think that they are afraid to be with me because I’m not what they would have ended up expecting. I wish that I could have done a bit more and found someone to be with, but I don’t know if it would end up coming to that. It’s like nothing I have experienced before, and I highly doubt they are going to want to be with me while dealing with my overpowering parents.”
“The King and Queen can definitely be a little much, but I don’t believe that is the right way for them to be hiding you from being with anyone.” Duke Stevens explains, making me watch him carefully because why in the world would he end up saying something like that, “I mean truthfully, I was a little nervous to approach you, but I figured that maybe you’re feeling the same way.”
His words make my heart soar and it’s like nothing I have felt before. I don’t know what is going to come from it, but I do long for a lot more and I wish that maybe I will be able to do something about it. I’m not entirely certain what is going to come from it but it’s like nothing else that I have experienced before. I have been with numerous women but nothing serious. It’s the life of a wolf who lives in the shadows, you can’t settle down.
“Would you be interested in someone who is not high up in society?” Duke Steven murmurs and I should have known that he was going to end up asking this, “I mean truthfully, you should have known that someone would be interested in you, but you also have to give them the chance. I’m not of lower class but I doubt that your parents would like me so much.”
I don’t know if I believe him because there’s no reason for him to do anything like that. He is just looking at her like he is going to end up being much scarier and I have never experienced something like that before. When I look at him, it makes me a little nervous because this situation could end up biting me in the butt.
That it could end up hurting her in the process.
I don’t want that to happen because it would be the worst thing that could come from it.
I guess something needs to tell me whether he can be trusted.
“I don’t know, I’m not looking to just jump right into a relationship.” She finally tells him, pursing her lips as she is trying to put space between them, “I’m sorry if you’re wanting to jump into a relationship but I want to live in the moment. If I meet someone that I want to be with, then I will come to that conclusion, but I don’t want to worry about it right now.”
I don’t think that he is listening to her, and it is making my blood boil. Unfortunately, I doubt that they even care and he is just thinking about what HE wants. I wish that I could have done a lot more for Princess Fiona but when I gaze at the Duke, I notice that he is not happy with what she is saying. It’s like he wants her to bow down to him.
Don’t be weak, Fiona.
Show him what kind of person that you truthfully are.
I have no idea what is going to come from it but it’s pretty clear that he thinks that he can make her bow down to him and she should never do that. She is the Princess, and she needs to make sure that he knows it. She can’t end up bowing down to him because it would end up biting him in the butt and it would be much more dangerous. It is a terrible thought, but I have no idea what is going to come from it.
“I mean, how about we kiss and then we can see if we are fated?” Duke Steven decides to ask, making Princess Fiona freeze and look at him like he is crazy, “I feel a connection to you, and I think that maybe our relationship could end up being a lot more. I don’t know if you’re feeling the same way but I…”
“I’m sorry, I don’t feel the same way.” She apologizes to him, making me smile because that’s my girl, “and I don’t want to give my first kiss to someone I just met. I…”
I’m immediately on alert when he suddenly grabs her, pressing her against the wall. I think Princess Fiona is too stunned to move, staring at him with surprise. I saw that he is going to force a kiss onto her, and it makes my blood boil, my heart pounding in my chest and I’m tempted to just rip his head off. Rushing forward, I can just see red as I’m going to end up killing him and I’m not going to be so kind.
If he thinks that he can touch her, he is going to have to face the consequences.
And I will not let him get away with this at all.
He is dead meat.
