Bride of the Cursed Alpha (Auren and Lucien) novel Chapter 75

Chapter 75

The sadness that slammed me two days ago had vanished. Instead, my life seemed bright and sunny. I felt more active and jubilant, Lucien seemed

be spending more time around me and I loved his attention. It was like we were both waiting for the inevitable.

He was keeping a keen eye on my diet. Vivi had started giving me juices that smelled like herbal solutions “For your health,” she said, winking, the pient day when I asked about them.

I furrowed my brows and she laughed. “It’s nothing Luna Auren. Just drink it”

Isaled and drank it. Just as I put the glass on the table, an omega came to me. “Lady Auren, Julie is here to see you.”

Telenched my jaw. What did she want from me? Tho

Though I had no intention of meeting her, I said. “Ask her to come to the main hall”

“You don’t have to talk to her. Vivi said in a low voice. “I don’t like her at all!”

I went to the main hall where I saw julie sitting and fidgeting with her dress nervously. As soon as she saw me, she got up and bowed to me. I pursed my lips in suspicion at her sudden change in behavior. Two days ago she disrespected me with her friends. And now this!

“What do you want, Julie?” I asked directly instead of getting into greetings.

“Luna Auren,” she said as I said on the sofa opposite her. “You must be very upset with me, but She covered her face with her hands and started crying. “I was forced to act like that in the arena that night with you.”

My lips lifted into a frown. “What do you mean?”

She wiped her tears and hiccupped. “All my friends thought that I could beat you easily, but then you defeated me. I won’t deny saying that I was upset. When I talked to Sable about it, she said that next time when a chance comes by, I should challenge you and defeat you. However, I wasn’t prepared for what Sable did to you. She offered herself to fight you instead of me. I wanted to protest, but she stopped me using the mind link. saying that it was only appropriate that she fights with you.”

Shock wasn’t even the word that described my feelings at that time. I was puzzled and surprised. “Why did she stop you?” I asked, tilting my head

Julie shook her head as more tears began falling from her eyes. “I don’t know. She just wanted to fight with you. My friends also stopped me because Sable’s father is a high–ranking wolf in the counsel. I was scared that if I went against her order, she would exact her revenge on me in some other horrible manner.

My eyes widened in shock. “Has she done that earlier?”

Julie shook her head. “No,

but we all know what she is capable of.”

I let out a rough breath. “So why are you saying

ng this to me?”

She dropped on her knees and clasped her hands in front of me. “I beg you to forgive me, Luna Auren. It wasn’t me. It was my friends who pushed me into doing it And Sable. I promise I’ll never go against you all my life. Please, Luna Auren.”

I felt overwhelmed by her admission. Her face was streaked with tears and my heart went out for her. “It’s okay, Julie. Thanks for letting me know”

She immediately wiped her tears and smile lit her face. Thank you, Luna. I knew that you had a big heart. Can I tell you a secret!”

I cocked my eyebrow as my lips curled

“I loved the way you defeated Sable. She really deserved it. She is such a proud wench

Though I should have stopped Julie from speaking like this about Sable openly, I barked a laugh. Shaking my

“No,” she said. She got up and wiped her tears. “Just that you really are the best person I’ve met in my life. Very kind and very strong.”

I was flattered. A blush crept on my cheeks “Thank you!”

She bowed to me again. “I won’t take more of your time, and take my leas

my leave”

After she left, I found Vivi with a flabbergasted expression on her face staring at her back. She shook her head when I grinned and went back in the kitchen, muttering–pups these days.”
