Lucien materialized right behind Nyx as he stared at her, with a calm expression. When she had screamed his name, he was checking out the garden behind the house.
Seeing how traumatized she looked, he knew something was wrong and it had scared her.
"Lucien, a voice. I-it spoke to me and then I looked into the mirror. I looked-" Nyx didn't know how to explain. After Lucien had appeared, her reflection in the mirror had switched back to normal.
"Calm down, explain to me what happened this time and in details" Lucien said, because by what she was saying someone had slipped into the room. Monsters or spirits he didn't care.
Nyx took a deep breath trying to calm herself down as she explained to Lucien what had happened, in brief details. Lucien looked serious as he thought about what she had just said.
Could this be the handiwork of Kael? Lucien thought but he wasn't sure. He didn't like Nyx being this scared and he had decided to talk some sense into Kael by tomorrow morning. After all he would be staying in the castle by the day after tomorrow.
Lucien pulled nyx into his arms as he kissed her forehead. "Everything's going to be fine, little dragon. I think it's a figment of your imagination due to the tea. I'd stay here tonight if want" Lucien said as Nyx thought about it for a while. She didn't want to stay here alone, because she was too scared of whatever or whoever was after her.
"I-i'd like that" she looked up at Lucien who nodded at her before breaking the hug. "I would just take a bath and be back out" kissing her on the cheek he slipped into the bathroom.
As nyx laid in bed, facing with ceiling, she heard the water running and couldn't help but think of how Lucien would look naked. His body physique was probably really hot, she clenched her thighs thinking about it but she soon cautioned herself as she laid there just thinking of random things.
Lucien soon stepped out of the shower, a tower wrapped around his waist as he grabbed a small towel, drying his shoulder length hair. Nyx turned to look at him as she took in the look of his body, from his strong arms down to his toned abs, as she saw water drip down his hair as they disappeared through the towel wrapped around his waist, she swallowed looking away immediately.
Lucien shook his head as he grabbed his night wear before going back to the bathroom to change, as he walked back out, he met Nyx laying stiffly on the bed as she shut her eyes.
"I know you aren't sleeping little dragon, why pretend?" he shook his head as he slipped into bed, he soon turned on the night, making Nyx gasp.
"Turn the lights back on!" She said urgently as Lucien groaned in irritation switching the lights on.
"I can't sleep with the light's on, nyx" Lucien said as he got out of bed.
"W-where are you going? We can find a solution for that" nyx said as Lucien stared at her with a frown, he stroded out of the room, heading to one of the door by the corner of the room. She had found out earlier was locked, why was he going in there?
She tossed and turned for a while before she finally fell asleep. She had a feeling she had offended Lucien but she didn't know what exactly she had done.
The next day was very busy and hectic. Lucien was busy signing documents and getting the hotel ready for the guests that were arriving by tomorrow. Nyx was busy with sizing her dress, picking her bridesmaid and tasting the various cake options.
The wedding was meant to be extravagant and the talk of the down for a while. Nyx had just finished her last task as she stood in front of Lucien's study.
She needed to apologize to him for whatever she had said. As she took a deep breath, she knocked on the large door. Guards were positioned outside but they didn't stop her from going through.
"My king, it's me" nyx said, she didn't m ow whether to call him by his name but seeing the guards outside it would be wise to call him by his title.
"Come in" Lucien answered coldly as he continued doing his work. He wasn't angry with her, when he had left yesterday was because she didn't feel comfortable sleeping with him and he felt it. As she walked into the study, her scent over took every other thing that was in his mind.
"Good morning Lucien" she said with a small smile as she walked closer to him. Lucien stopped working as he looked up at her. It felt as if she was getting prettier as time went by and it was driving him crazy.
"Morning, is anything the problem? I didn't expect anyone to come in here" Lucien's eyes trailed down her body as he looked away almost immediately.
"I-i just wanted to apologize for whatever I did wrong that's making you ignore me. I don't like it when I'm ignored" Nyx said looking at her hand. Lucien smiled at her innocence as he stood up, walking around his desk.
"And who told you I was upset?" Lucien pulled her into his arms as he spoke into her ear. Nyx blushed as she pulled herself off his body.
"B-but you, you ignored me and left me alone" Nyx pouted as Lucien laughed. This time his laugh was genuine and whole heartedly but Nyx noticed something. His canine's were also long, just like hers.
Could that mean?
She didn't even want to think about it. But she knew he was some sort of monster but what exactly?
"Are you even listening to me?" Lucien flicked Nyx's forehead to bring her back to reality.
"What type of monster are you?" Nyx suddenly blurted out.
