The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 89

Kyle's POV:

I was heartbroken to see Lucy crying.

Obviously, I loved her. But fate always liked to play tricks on lovers. We were both victims of politics.

Prince Richard was not a kind lycan at all. If we dared to ruin his plan, he would not let us get away with it so easily.

Lucy and I planned to elope out of desperation. But on the day before we were supposed to elope, I received a letter stating that I had gotten appointed as the director of teaching affairs department of the Royal Military School. It was the job of my dreams. Having this position meant that my life was about to change for the better.

I thought about it the whole night, weighing my options. In the end, my career ambitions outweighed whatever Lucy and I had. I hid in a corner the next day, watching Lucy as she waited for me. No matter how many times I scolded myself for being a coward, I still couldn't give it up.

I chose to betray Lucy and abandon our love.

Surprisingly, Lucy didn't even blame me, which just made me feel even guiltier. She was actually happy for me and proud that I got appointed.

Ever since then, I had been suffering from insomnia every night. And when I could finally manage to fall asleep, Lucy would haunt me in my dreams as a rabid cannibal, trying to eat me alive. I had pitched myself into a pit of endless pain, the conflicting feelings for love and career violently fighting for my heart.

Yesterday was the day Prince Richard and Lucy formally accepted each other as mates. That was primarily the reason we agreed to make passionate love for the last time before officially rejecting and never contacting each other again. We just didn't expect for someone to catch us in the act.

"Oh, hush now, Lucy." I stretched out a hand to comfort her. "It shouldn't be that serious. Romantic affairs are inevitable before one finds their destined mate."
