Bride of the Cursed Alpha (Auren and Lucien) novel Chapter 117

Chapter 117

Auren POV

I didn’t make much out of it, and resumed talking to others. When it was lunch, Vivi announced it louilly. “Come on, arrange the tables, girlst

Belle rushed toward Vivi to help her in arranging it. I noticed how Tarian watched her like a hawk as she came toward us. I couldn’t help smiling seeing his protective behavior. Was she his mate? If she was, then why was she so hesitant around him? It seemed like she wanted to run away from him. Maybe because Tarian was a herce Beta. He was stronger than several Alphas

Vivi was instructing all the girls to lay out the food on the table. Other women accompanied me to the table. I sat at the head of the table and watched them with pure joy. I couldn’t help thinking about Bram and Maris. They had married and they were rather lowkey these days. There was a rumor that Bram had lost his wolf. Though I wished that happened, I was sure that they were just rumors. Maris wasn’t the type who would marry a wolf–less Alpha

“Did you hear about Mary?” I overheard a conversation between two women.

“No, what happened to her?” asked the other one in a lushed voice

The first one chuckled. “She went to the human town to get herself checked. It’s been three months but she hasn’t become pregnant yet. Alpha Bram is on his edget”

The second one let out a low laugh. “She is a ville bitch! Her father was on the verge of expelling her from the pack. But she was saved in time when she named Alpha Kram

Belle came over with an assortment of pastries. “Luna Auren,” she said with a soft smile. “I made some special pastries for you.” She kept the plate in front of me. “Would love it if you would eat them”

My mouth watered the moment my eyes landed on them. There was a red velvet pastry, chocolate pastry, fresh pineapple pastries and several others. “That’s really nice of you, Belle,” I said, wondering if I was drooling visibly, Just as I was about to pick up one, Vivi stopped me.

“Wait, Luna“” she rasped and hurried toward us.

My brows drew in a frown. “What’s it, Vivi?” I asked, not liking her interference

Vivi glanced at Belle and said, “Alpha Lucien has asked me to get your food tasted before you consume it.”

My mouth dropped in shock. “What?”

Vivi pursed her lips nervously. “He wants me to test all the food before you consume it.”

Goddess. Lucien had really gone too far. Clenching my jaw, I muttered. “And how will you do it?”

Vivi looked at Belle who had for some reason paled. “You eat it first. Once you’ve eaten, and we have waited for ten minutes, only after that, Luna

“This is absolute nonsense!” I shouted.

Vivi shifted on her feet, but didn’t dare say a word. Tarian also joined us in the commotion “If Alpha Lucien has ordered it, then we will comply with his order. He looked at Belle and said. “With a spoon take a bite of each of these.” I could sense his anxiety as he said those words to Belle

Belle nodded. She picked up a spoon from the side, carved a small slice from each cake and ate them. There was tense silence for the next ten minutes as we all watched Belle. When nothing happened, Vivi said, “Now you can eat these, Luna”

There were tears in Belle’s eyes. I felt so horrible that I wanted to shout at Lucien for his stupid orders, Who would have the audacity to potson me? my Alpha mate was always on the edge when it came to my safety. Seriously, it was getting a bit too much and I intended to talk to him about it.

But

“Thanks Belle,” I said as I ate the red velvet pastry: “It is the most delicious pastry I’ve ever had in my life!”

I think my words lifted her mood. She grinned and blinked away her tears. I heard an audible sigh of relief from Tarian. Ah yes, I had to talk to

Tariat as well

The rest of the day went by so beautifully. In the evening, I was totally tired when I returned home. Lucien had arrived from his tour. And when I was alone with him, I addressed the issue. “You are being paranoid about my safety, Lucien, Why did you order the omegas to taste food before my

consumption!”

Lucien was extremely tired. He let out a rough exhale. “I ordered is for your safety, he replied.

“But who would dare to posun me?”
