Lycan King's Regret: Punished The Wrong Daughter novel Chapter 130

Chapter 130: 130- In His Arms

Arabella:

When I opened my eyes again, it took me a few seconds to remember where I was. I was still in Lucien’s office, curled in his lap with one side of my face pressed against his chest. Lucien was asleep too, his back resting against the wall and his arms still wrapped around me.

I stayed still and studied his face.

He looked different in his sleep. The usual hardness was gone, leaving him looking more relaxed... and a little vulnerable. My gaze moved over his closed eyes, then stopped at the faint dried trail of a tear on his cheek. Something stirred inside me.

I raised my hand and gently wiped my thumb over it. A low groan escaped him, and the corner of his mouth lifted slightly.

"You’re awake?" I asked him with a frown.

He shook his head without opening his eyes. "No. I’m still sleeping."

Clicking my tongue inside my cheek, I slapped his chest lightly. "Let me go." His arms only tightened around me.

"Never." He said lazily, making my heart skip a beat.

Three years ago, he had said the same thing, and at that time, all I had wanted was to run as far away from him as possible.

Today, it felt different. Today, some foolish part of me wanted him to hold on.

You were born to be with him. Remember, you are his mate? A small voice in my head reminded me.

I looked at his face again. His eyes were still closed, but there was a subtle trace of a smile on his lips.

"Let me go, my king." I tried to get up but then landed back on his lap. Yeah. I was back to the titles, and my legs felt numb.

His smile deepened before he finally opened those golden eyes and looked at me. "You can call me Lucien if you want."

I rolled my eyes. "No, thanks."

Placing both hands on his shoulders, I tried to push myself up, but his arms remained firmly around my waist.

Before I could complain again, Lucien leaned forward and pressed a kiss to my cheek... then another near my temple.

"Lucien." I tried to warn him. We were in his royal office, and Goddess knew what someone would think if they walked in and caught us like that.

He ignored my silent plea and kissed the other cheek. I immediately put my palm over his mouth. "Stop it."

His lips pressed against my palm instead and kissed it too. I tried not to smile but failed. "I said stop."

Apparently, the Lycan King had suddenly forgotten how to understand simple words. He caught my wrist and moved my hand aside just long enough to kiss the tip of my nose.
