The Secret Heirs of the Lycan King (Bella and scott) novel Chapter 150

Chapter 150

Julie

I was terrified when Lunderstood what my parents were planning.

They spoke about Millie marrying Troy. They had already decided, as if it was only a matter of time before Millie would marry him.

My mother said, “Your father would find the right moment to speak to Troy because such matters needed patience and careful handling. Millie is growing into such a fine young woman,” my mother continued, glancing fondly toward my sister. “She is the most beautiful girl in the pack and she has been in love with Troy. Even Alpha Troy has shown the same interest toward her.”

Her words shocked me and I felt the blood drain from my face. Alpha Troy was interested in Millie? But the kiss I shared with him said something else. I sat there listening to them, my hands clenched in my lap, my heart beating so fast that it made me feel dizzy. Every word they spoke felt heavy, and I wanted to disappear from that room.

Inside me, everything was in chaos. I did not understand what was happening to me. But I knew that whatever was happening to me was not normal. All I knew w was that being near Troy made me feel happy. I told myself I was being foolish. that it was just infatuation, but the pain in my chest remained.

At the same time, I had not yet shifted into my wolf, and so I thought that this was just a foolish episode. When I would find my mate, I’d be better. Then why being near him made my world tilt, and my emotions felt too strong to handle.

I was trapped between my heart and my family. I ran upstairs to my room, closing the door behind me. Guilt followed me everywhere. I cried silently in my room, covering my mouth so no one would hear me. I felt ashamed for having feelings for the same wolf my sister adored so openly.

Millie was beautiful in a way that drew attention effortlessly. She had fair skin, light eyes, and hair that caught the light wherever she went. People noticed her without trying. I, on the other hand, had an olive complexion, dark hair, and dark eyes that blended into the background. I had always been the quieter one, the one who stayed back while Millie shone. I told myself that Troy would never choose me over her, and that made the pain feel even worse.

To protect myself and to protect Millie, I withdrew. I stopped going out unless it was necessary. I avoided pack gatherings, and I found excuses to stay busy with house chores or studying. Keeping myself inside felt safer. I could lock my emotions away along with my body. I was sure that if I stayed hidden inside, away from him, my feelings would fade, and everything would return to normal.

The following months were difficult. I avoided Troy at all costs, even when I knew he wanted to see me. I could feel his presence sometimes, could sense that he was nearby. He tried to contact me more than once, sending messages through others or stopping by at my home. Each time, I refused to see or speak to him. I was scared that if I saw him, I would break. I was scared that I would hurt Millie beyond repair. I was also afraid of my parents. They would be so disappointed and angry if they saw I was standing in Millie’s way.

But I wasn’t prepared for what happened on my eighteenth birthday

That night, I shifted for the first time. My wolf, Lucere, finally emerged. The transformation was painful, but I was overjoyed. And then she lifted her head and howled in pure joy, ‘Mate!‘

My chest blasted with disbelief.

Can’t you smell our mate?‘ She chided me. ‘His scent is unmistakable!‘ she said with excitement.

For a moment, happiness flooded me. I thought that this was the answer to all my suffering. I knew I would finally understand everything. I would go to my mate, and everything would fall into place. I imagined that once I was with him, Millie would no longer look at me with accusation in her eyes. Thanking the goddess, I thought this was how things were meant to be resolved.

Chapter 130

My wolf did not slow down. She ran through the night, driven by instinct and certainty Inside her, my heart pounded harder with every step. However, when she finally stopped, my fear caught up with me.

We were standing in front of Alpha Troy’s house.

Horror washed over me as I realized the truth. Troy was my mate. The knowledge brought a fresh wave of panic. Everything turned worse. I thought of Millie, her crazy love for him, her excitement at the idea of marrying him. I thought of my parents and their plans. Choosing Troy would shatter my family beyond repair..

Before I could move, a deep, dangerous growl came from inside the house. I felt it in my bones. Troy’s wolf had recognized me too. The bond tightened instantly, and it scared me more than anything else ever had.

“We have to go!‘ I ordered Lucere.

‘No!‘ she whined. ‘I want my mate.

I forced her to turn and ran.

I ran as fast as my legs would carry me, ignoring the pain in my chest and the pull that begged me to turn back. Until I reached home, I didn’t stop. I shifted and locked myself inside my room.

My mother knocked, asking how I was feeling after my first shift.

I choked, “I’m not well. My wolf needs time to adjust.” It wasn’t a lie, but it wasn’t the full truth either.

“That’s fine, Julie,” mother said. “Take your time.”

I spent the night fighting my emotions, trying to push them down, to silence the connection that burned inside me. I prayed that Troy would not come after me, that he would not force me to face what I was so desperately trying to avoid.

But Troy did come past midnight when everyone was sleeping. He was in his wolf form. From my room, I saw his wolf standing beneath my window, looking at me with intense eyes. I hid myself immediately.

I sensed him circling the house slowly, marking the walls of the house as if he was marking his territory. The message was clear. My heart ached as I lay awake, staring at the ceiling, crying, knowing that there was no running from the truth

anymore.

That night, I realized that some bonds could not be ignored, and decided to face Millie and my parents in the morning.
