Lucus’ POV.
After Amelia went, I was still for a moment. It took all in me to stop my Lycan from marking and mating her. No matter what I knew she was not ready for that. Because my marking is different from another normal werewolf.
In marking I will shift into my wolf and mark her while mating with her at the same time. It drains most of the female’s energy. But the dangerous part is after that. I will shift further into my Lycan form and will demand respect and authority while mating with her again. It’s like restarting the mating ritual all over again. And in Lycan form it becomes more and more rough and intensified.
It will finish only when my wolf an ancient Lycan soul is satisfied that his seeds are planted in the warm womb of my mate.
This whole ritual takes two nights.
But not the daytime.
Only when the moon is present to witness the ancient royal ritual.
So, I know that I should give her more time to relax around me. It will help with the ritual.
I dressed myself with a black silk fitted shirt with crystal cufflinks and a black dress pant with my royal crimson coat.
There are many things that need my attention as I am the King.
And I am sure that by now my high beta must be exhausted.
There's a reason why I am the King. No one can handle that kind of power except me.

Amelia’s POV.
I had my breakfast which consisted of some delicious beacons with cheese, fresh bread and warm milk with juicy fruits.
After that I thought about the things I need for my escape.
But first of all, where are my maids...
“Hey, you there...Come here for a moment."
"Yes, My Queen...Do you need anything.”
"Yes. Bring me my personal maids. And clean the table too."
"As you wish, My Queen.”
After the servant went, I planned my escape. First, I will need to get some information about the layout of the castle. And for that its better if I can change my appearance whenever I need. Hmm…sounds like a good plan.
I was thinking about my plan that I didn't notice the three maids who were bowing.
"Where have you been? I had to send another servant to fetch you all."
"We beg your forgiveness your grace. We were arranging a room for your Grace.”
"And for what is that??"
"A room for your entertainment your Grace. It is there for you to do anything with it. It is a personal gift from his Majesty.”
"Hmm...I see. Well, I need few things and you are going to provide me with that.
Understood?
First, I want some beautiful hair wigs and a full set of makeup. Most of the time I change my hair color and its style. I don't like to keep the same style. Also, I need some maid uniforms to make something out of it. It’s a personal thing.
Now hurry up and bring these things to my chambers."
"Of course, My Queen. We will. But we have to inform our King about the things you required Your Grace. We are instructed to do so."
"That's fine by me. And Barbara takes me to the King."
With that my head maid Ann and my other maid Katrina went to fetch my requirements.
I turned to Barbara, and she was afraid and shaking with fright. Waiting for my order.
"Show me the way Barbara."
"Of course, your Grace.”
My maid hesitantly led me to a dark hall with guards lining along it. The hall gave me chilling feelings, but I continued. The maid paused before dark large oak doors and asked the two guards to announce my presence.
"You can enter my Queen.”
I think the bastard mind linked.
The guards pushed open the double doors and I went inside. The chamber I entered was like a Thorne room and in the middle of the Thorne room my supposed mate was sitting and reading a scroll.
I strolled down the length and reached to his Thorne. Then I climbed the stairs and stood in front of him.
He was still reading, and I knew he was waiting for me.
Instead of replying I pushed his hands away and sat on his lap.
Only then he looked at me.
“Do you want anything My Mate?". He asked while placing the scroll down and facing me.
"Yes. Actually, I was wondering whether you will allow me to get few things. You see I was used to change my hair styles and color whenever I felt. It gave me a sense of confidence and happiness.
I know as my mate you like to provide me things I want and that you will keep me happy. So would you give me what I want My King?"
"You can have anything you want Mi Amor...We will be happy to provide for you...
But why do I smell a lie there my Sweet little mate?"
"Why should I lie Lucus??
What can I do with hair wigs other than use them to style my hair???"
I asked faking angry, and the Kings eyes became darker When have I addressed him by his name?
"Very well. You may go now"
"But...Remember Amelia, you can't fool me or escape from me!"
"Because I can sense everything of you...And you can't lie to me!!"
He growled out and I was sure that I saw his honey brown eyes become slightly golden.
I hurriedly stood up brushing my breasts accidentally on his face.
Curse this stupid front opening dress.! I mentally face palmed.
But...Lucus seems to be having different kind of thoughts because the next thing I know is his slight golden eyes becoming melting gold orbs.
Barbara was waiting for me outside when I ran out of the Thorne room followed by a thundering growl.
That was close!
She escorted me to my bed chambers. Where I found my head maid Ann and my other maid waiting for me.
I made a list and asked them to collect everything thing I listed.
After two hours they returned with my stuff, and I dismissed them for the day.
I need some alone time to figure out my plan. And to prepare my disguise. With that in my mind I retired to my chambers and locked the room asking that no one to disturb me.
The King usually comes around the dinner time. So, plenty of time for plan A.
Time to be the smart ass!
