Chapter 88 The Fruitless Love
Lucy's POV:
I slammed the piano lid shut, and the loud bang resonated across the room. I was too annoyed and frustrated.
The sunlight shone into the piano room. Tiny dust particles floated into the room through the beam like my agitated mood.
Three hours had passed.
I sprang to my feet and walked to the window. No one was outside. The dense woods rustled in the wind. I closed the curtain cautiously and turned to look at the piano. When I was about to light a cigarette, the one I had been waiting for finally came.
"You are finally here!"
I threw the cigarette on the lid of the piano and anxiously walked over to him. "Have you found that person?"
Kyle locked the door and held me in his arms. "No. I looked everywhere but didn't find anyone hiding snacks in the dormitory."
I pushed him away. The emotions I had been trying so hard to control seemed to gush out. I couldn't take it anymore. "How could you not find that person?"
Kyle shook his head, frowning. "It was too dark, so I couldn't see their face. But judging from the speed and agility, I infer that person is pretty strong."
I anxiously paced across the room. His words irked me. I wasn't in the mood to listen to Kyle's analysis. I only wanted the result.
"There is no point talking about it. I just want to find that person right away!" I grabbed his sleeves and looked into his eyes. "Kyle, our relationship should remain a secret. Otherwise, it will cause big trouble."
Although I loved him, we were star-crossed lovers. Our precious love was destined to get lost in the wind.
"I know, Lucy." Kyle shrugged. After a moment's silence, he looked up at me and asked, "Do we really have no chance?"
The persistence and love burning in his eyes made me quiver. Tears filled my eyes. We didn't have a chance to be together. The fact that we didn't have a future together broke my heart. Life was cruel at times.
I slumped to the floor as tears streamed down my cheeks.
As the daughter of the Alpha of Blue Moon Pack, I didn't even have the freedom to choose my partner and be with the one I loved. Everyone envied my noble origin of birth, but no one knew I was a caged bird.
My father doted on me and trained me ever since I was a child. Later, I understood I was a mere tool that he used to fulfill his ambitions and farfetched dreams. Everyone was a pawn in his plan, including his mate and daughter.
Recently, he had joined hands with Prince Richard and followed him like a puppy. I didn't know what they had planned to do, but my father told me to pretend like I was Richard's destined mate.
It was ridiculous and disgusting. I couldn't believe they used the sacred mate bond the Moon Goddess blessed us with. That was when I understood my father would go to any lengths to fulfill his dreams.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
But regardless of how much I hated his plan, I had to follow my father's orders. Although it might seem like I was a happy-go-lucky girl, I was, in fact, sitting on a high pedestal made of sharp swords; one wrong move could kill me. I could either die or continue to live without dignity.
I chose the latter because I wanted to live. After all, death was too painful. I had never been a bold she-wolf.
I pretended to be an elegant, noble lady in public. But I paralyzed myself with luxury when I was alone. Since I couldn't live the life I wanted, I started buying happiness through money and power.
Gradually, I got used to the luxury and fell in love with my lifestyle.
I didn't feel guilty or ashamed about it. I tried hypnotizing myself over and over again.
It was my father who arranged for me to go to the Royal Military School. He asked me to play along and fake an encounter with Richard in front of the lycan king and recognize each other as mates in an extravagant way to make things believable.
But before I could execute the plan, I met my real mate, Kyle, at school and we instantly fell in love with each other.
Kyle was like the wildfire that warmed my cold, colorless life. His love melted my heart into a puddle; he was the reason for my existence. The moment I met him, I could see sparks of passion and desire between us. I abandoned all my inhibitions as a noble she-wolf and had sex with him, and even got pregnant with his child.
