His Miracle Luna-the Forsaken Lycan Queen

The Abandoned Lycan Queen 116 Chapter 116 Elena's POV I laughed it off, thinking he was joking. I simply set my utensils down and finished my water. Leaning back in my seat, I looked at him seriously. "You're really the one criticising them first?" "You're being too kind. I'm being serious. They'll be living with us. For how long, I don't know. But what I'm sure of is that they could be challenging to handle," he explained The gears in my head started moving as I tried to process his words. Seeing the seriousness in his face, I knew he was really worried.

But how bad could they really be? I managed to handle Courtney, and I don't think anyone could suppress her rudeness and greediness.

Besides, Deacon's mother was the Duchess, and his cousin was technically a princess. They were of royalty. With those titles, it's no surprise if they had sattitude, considering they literally had a crown on their heads.

Seeing how down-to-earth and kind Deacon was a real surprising fact.

Feeling his worried gaze lingering on my face, I decided to finally free him from his inner turmoil of guilt.

Instead, I clasped my hands together and rested them on the table, leaning forward. Staring into his eyes, I teased in a serious yet intrigued manner, "So, is this why you don't want to marry anyone else? You know no woman can survive them." I joked instead, hoping to ease his tension, which I immediately succeeded in doing.

Once again, I heard his laughter. Nodding his head, he played along, "more or less." Shrugging, he continued, "I won't deny it. My Mom is a bit of a handful, and she managed to scare off more women than I can count." "But you?" he said, eyes gazing from my head to toe before nodding with approval. "I'm sure you'll be fine. You can handle yourself." I raised my brow at how much confidence he bestowed upon me. "And if I can't?" Sitting up straight, he knocked his knuckles on his muscular chest and vowed, "I won't let them trouble you." "Damn, right, you better not." I nodded before the playful tone vanished from my voice as I seriously uttered, Because if you won't, I'll handle them myself." LL "Don't worry, we'll make this work." With that, he stood up, motioning to his wristwatch to say that he still had sother matters to do.

We had small talk as I walked him to the gate.

"See you soon," I bid farewell.

With his hand on the opened door of his car, he stared atand gaveanother sweet smile. "See you soon, my fiance." Right after he left, I felt the emptiness of the room as the surroundings went back to being surrounded with silence.

"So, you agreed to marry Prince Deacon?" I was greeted by Jayden's casual question as soon as I entered the pack house, almost startling me.

1/2 Chapter 116 I hadn't even replied yet when Zara giggled from the other side of the room and looked at Jayden with boastfulness. "See, I told you she'd say yes." Rolling my eyes and lazily nodding my head, I walked toward the couch and sat down. Crossing my legs, I looked at them pointedly and firmly said, "Yes, I am.” "Just like that?" Jayden asked with concern as he walked towardand sat on the other seat.

I knew what he was worried about. I just got back from a bad marriage, not to mention we just started getting the Ironpaw Pack back to its former glory.

"You do realize what this means, don't you? If you marry Deacon, his O influence increases. The King will see him as a bigger threat," he added before I could reply, voicing out the sworry I had earlier. I shrugged my shoulders, nonchalantly leaning forward to grab a piece of candy. "Deacon is handling that. He'll talk to the king."

"Besides..." I immediately added when I saw his worry intensifying by how his face scrunched up. "This is the best option. We talked about it. It's pure business, which is way better than marrying the King and getting sandwiched in political or marrying a random nobleman | know nothing about." "But... what about later?" Waking up from her excitement and seeing the bigger picture, Zara cforward with sadness in her eyes.

Looking down, she fidgeted with her fingers. "What if Prince Deacon falls for someone else? What if he wants to back out? What if he pushes you away and hurts you?" My heart both warmed and ached to see Zara affected by the pain inflicted by my marriage with Bryson.

But Bryson and Deacon had a huge gap between them. I had full trust with Deacon, and we've talked about it. It's nothing emotional.

Hence, I simply shrugged my shoulders, uncaringly replying. "He can take a concubine for all I care." Zara and Jayde exchanged glances, surprised.

"You're really fine with that?" Zara quietly asked, and I nodded without hesitation.. "Yeah, I am. Why won't I?"

As soon as those words cout of my mouth, something small twinged inside of me. Okay, I'm still a being. I NO would probably care a little, but I'm sure it won't affectin any way, much less leaveheartbroken. Taking a deep breath, I looked at both of them and gave them a determined stare. "This marriage is just to solve a problem. There doesn't need to be any emotions involved. It's just business."
