Chapter 73

• Lycus's pov
• Soft music flowed throughout the castle awakening me from my state of slumber. It was expected. It was how I had woken up every morning on my birthdays, it was how other kings before me had awoken and how the ones after me will be roused. But this time, it was different. This time I had the pleasure of waking up to the most beautiful person I had ever laid my eyes on.
• My hand was wrapped around her slender waist as I peered down at her, blonde locs framed her delicate facial features, her long lashes casting light shadows beneath her eyes and she looked very peaceful and vulnerable. The longing to draw her closer to me and protect her from any evil roused through me and my hand tightened around her. At least today, most of her worries shall be gone. After my party in the evening, we shall proceed to the hearing of that dolt Titan and the treacherous Laya.
