Schuyler's P. O. V.When I woke up, I was already home and Anne was preparing a meal for me at the table on the balcony. She was so busy that she didn't notice me so I carefully stood up before going out of the room. Anne knew nothing when I locked the door from outside. It's strange actually. There was completely no one around. The maids that used to scatter here are out of sight, but that's not a problem to me. I was glad, actually. They can't fool me anymore. If the last time it happened, they managed to play me, not anymore. I shouldn't have trusted Ezekiel! H-He… He's a monster. I saw a maid carrying a tray of juice so I quickly ran to the side and hid from her sight. When she silently walked past me, I covered my face in fear before leaning on the wall. I took a deep breath as I decided to go now, but my feet froze on the floor as I came face to face with all of them.Ezekiel, his family, and even Hunter were there and watching me with mixed emotions in their faces. For the fi

Schuyler's P. O. V.I woke up when someone threw cold water on me with small cubes of ice mixed with it. It hit my wound so I tightly closed my eyes to relieve the pain."Wake up, Schuyler!" I heard a woman's voice in front of me.I slowly lifted my head and saw Alana, but I was shocked to see her face. It was as if she had been beaten by someone and her eyes were so deep that I almost did not recognize her. She also has a lot of stitches in her face, jawline, and neck and a still visible bruise on her left eye.Who did that to her?Wait… Is that what they're pinning on me? Is it because Alana and I were the last one who had a fight? But I know nothing, they're mistaken!"Alana, let go of me! You know I didn't do anything to you." I desperately told her. "I can't even afford small things, what more than having someone to hurt you?"Alana looked at her cousin with a smirk on her face before she bursted out laughing like a mad maniac. She was even clapping her hands and would sometimes

Schuyler's P. O. V.When we got home, there was a commotion inside and Anne was trying to control everyone, but they wouldn't calm down even if she's there and helping."What the fuck is going on here?!" Ezekiel asked in a deep voice. Everyone stopped from arguing and they glanced at us."Lycan King!" They greeted as they directly looked at him. Ezekiel held my hand when one of the maids spoke to him, "I saw her wearing one of your polo shirts and when I asked her to remove it, she went mad and tried to take it away from me, until she ripped your polo!""Stop pretending! You're doing the same thing when they're not home." The woman she's blaming suddenly said while crying. "You just want everything for yourself, even the jewelries that the Lycan King bought, you also took some of them before delivering it to their room.""This is crazy…" I faced Ezekiel. "I'll go upstairs now, fix this."He nodded at me and I turned my back on them. It's a matter between them so I'm not going to ste

Schuyler's P. O. V.Well… That was fast. I didn't expect that Ezekiel would find me within an hour of leaving his house without anyone with me and despite knowing what kind of danger might come to me.A bitter smile appeared on my lips. 'I only wanted some time alone, and away from his… kind and life. Just a little time to think clearly…'When I decided to accept and stay beside Ezekiel after knowing that he's a mafia, and on top of that, their conqueror, I thought that I can completely deal with everything he's involved with, including his rivals and dangerous life. But after I found out that other than being a mafia, he's also a Lycan King, my mind got twisted and I can't understand anymore if my decisions are right.Is it worth it to stay beside Ezekiel, while knowing that he can end me anytime I want or the people around him? What if I do something that they don't like? What will they do to me?Or maybe… What if other humans will know about them? Surely, they will pin it on me and

Schuyler's P. O. V."What?" I turned my back on Ezekiel. "I said it already."I didn't hear him say anything else, but I can still feel Ezekiel's eyes on me and stabbing me from my back. I sighed before I turned around to face him again."Ezekiel, I never signed up to be the 'Lycan Queen', just because you are their King and we're married." I pointed at the door. "I don't even know how to treat them!""You can treat them normally, Schuyler." He raised his brow on me. "They're don't have much difference with humans—""Oh, of course, you all are different from us!" I quickly cut her off. "Ezekiel, you… You transform or shift—Whatever you call the process is, you can be a Lycan anytime you want. And I'm merely a human! Do you really think that all the Lycans out there are going to respect and accept me as their Queen?" I shake my head at him. "No, they won't..""What made you think so?" Ezekiel asked in a calm voice."Oh, please!" I washed my hands in my face. "Ezekiel, it's too obvious.
