Chapter: Chapter 4: OwnedNYRA’S POVI sat on the edge of the couch in the grand chamber they had given me, my back straight and my eyes fixed on the heavy wooden door. Sleep never came. Every creak in the old fortress made my heart slam against my ribs. I waited for Valerian to storm in, for his cold fury to finally break after the deception at the altar. Hours passed. He never appeared. That silence terrified me more than any outburst could have.The bed behind me remained untouched, its silk sheets smooth and perfect. It felt wrong to lie there, as if claiming even that small comfort would make this nightmare more real. Instead I stayed on the couch, knees drawn up, replaying every moment of the day. Arabella’s note. Kieran’s calm voice telling me he loved her. My parents pushing me forward like a spare tool. And then their lies at the altar, blaming me for the switch while I stood there in her gown and veil.Why did they do that? I had agreed to save them. I had stepped into this marriage so Valerian would

Chapter: Chapter 3:The Wrong BrideVALERIAN’S POVI lifted the veil and looked into the face of a stranger.The clearing fell into absolute silence. The blood moon continued to bathe everything in red, but the sacred flames seemed to flicker lower as if they too held their breath. This was not Arabella. The woman standing before me had softer features, wider eyes filled with raw fear, and a scent that hit me like a storm rolling through the pines.Wild jasmine. Fresh rain. Something uniquely hers.My wolf, Kaelor, surged forward inside me, restless and alert in a way I had never felt before. He paced and pushed, demanding I pull her closer. I kept my expression blank. Years of rule had taught me that silence carried more weight than any roar.Her parents rushed forward. Her mother’s face had gone deathly pale while the father trembled as he stepped between us.“Alpha King Valerian,” the father began, his voice cracking. “This is a terrible misunderstanding. We had no idea Arabella would do something so reckless. Nyra h

Chapter: Chapter 2: The substitute BrideNYRA’S POVI sat motionless in the bridal chamber that should have belonged to Arabella. Servants moved around me in a blur of silk and frantic hands. They slipped the heavy red gown over my shoulders, fastened the corset ropes at my back, and arranged the long veil over my face. I said nothing. I had not spoken a single word since my parents made their demand.My mind remained trapped in that phone call. Kieran’s calm voice still echoed in my ears. The way he said he loved her. The relief in his tone when he chose my sister over me. Everything inside me felt hollow, as if someone had scooped out my heart and left only a cold space behind.Mother adjusted the veil again, her fingers trembling. “You must keep your head down. Do not speak unless he asks you a direct question. Arabella’s voice is brighter than yours. He might notice the difference, just try to pretend to be her till the ceremony is over.”Father stood near the door, checking his watch every few seconds. “Walk slowly. Smi

Chapter: Chapter 1: Where Is My sisterNYRA’S POV“She’s not answering.” Mother’s voice cut through the mansion like broken glass.I stood frozen in the center of the living room, my phone pressed hard against my ear. My thumb kept jabbing the redial button. Each unanswered ring twisted the knot in my stomach tighter. Servants gathered near the doorway, their whispers sharp and nervous. Father paced in front of the grand fireplace, his face pale and drawn. The heavy velvet curtains did little to hold back the deepening dusk outside.The blood moon would rise tonight. Weeks of preparation, flowers, silks, and the sacred clearing all waited for Arabella to bind herself to Alpha King Valerian. Now the entire house smelled of fear and panic.I tried the number again but it went straight to voicemail.“Nyra, stop that and come here,” Father ordered. He gripped Mother’s arm. “We have to fix this before Valerian arrives. If he discovers the bride has vanished, we will all pay the price.”Mother’s eyes widened with raw terror. “Wh

Claimed By The Monster King
"I don't want a mate. I want a slave who knows her place."
Bailey was used to the cruelty. As the unwanted stepsister to the pack’s most vicious triplets, she spent her days scrubbing floors and avoiding their heavy-handed "lessons." But when her eighteenth birthday arrives, she expects the one thing that could save her: a fated mate.
Instead, she gets Hudson. Her stepbrother. Her primary bully. And the man who rejects her in front of the entire pack before the bond can even settle.
Broken and cast out to the servant quarters, Bailey thinks her life is over until the arrival of Hade, the Lycan King. He is cold, ruthless, and looking for a woman who disappeared from his bed months ago after a nameless, moonlit encounter.
He claims her as his Queen in front of the men who broke her, but his touch is a golden cage. When Bailey discovers a horrifying secret—that the King she is starting to love might be the man who ordered her parents' execution—she realizes she can’t stay.
She isn’t just running for her life anymore. She’s running for the two heartbeats growing inside her.
The Lycan King is coming to reclaim his throne, his woman, and the heirs she took from him. And this time, he won’t be asking.

Chapter: Chapter 4:The Scent Of HimBailey's Pov: The freezing rain turned into a downpour, mixing with the blood trickling into my eyes. Every step away from the pack house felt like my heart was being physically shredded. The rejection mark on my soul burned, a raw, pulsing agony that made me want to curl up in the dirt and never get back up. I could still hear Hudson’s voice ringing in my ears. I reject you. "Please, Moon Goddess," I whispered, my voice cracking. "Just let me die out here. Don't make me feel this." I stumbled over a thick root and went down hard. My knees hit the jagged rocks, but I didn't even cry out. Compared to the bond snapping, the physical pain was nothing. I crawled toward the shelter of a massive rock overhang, my lungs gasping for air that felt like needles. The scent hit me then. It wasn't pine or cedar like the triplets. It was something darker. Something ancient. It smelled like a thunderstorm and expensive tobacco. I looked up and saw a small, stone cabin tucked into t

Chapter: Chapter 3: Alpha’s BanquetBailey's Pov: Bailey stepped into the packhouse. Her clothes were still damp from the rain. The foyer was empty. The rest of the pack was busy preparing for the Alpha’s banquet. She hurried toward the servant staircase. She just needed to change her clothes before the head maid found her. "Hey, stray." Bailey froze. The voice came from the second-floor landing. Zayn leaned over the banister. His shirt was completely unbuttoned. His dark hair was a messy, chaotic halo around his face. He held a half-empty glass of amber liquor. "Come up here," Zayn commanded. His voice was thick and raspy. Bailey’s wolf whimpered. "I have chores, Zayn." "I said come here." The Alpha tone slipped into his words. It left her no choice. Her feet moved against her will. She climbed the stairs slowly. Her heart hammered a frantic rhythm in her chest. She reached the landing. Zayn did not move back. He stood blocking the hallway. A high-pitched giggle echoed from his open bedroom door.

Chapter: Chapter 2: Freezing WindHudson's Pov: Hudson shoved himself away from her desk. The metal legs of his chair scraped loudly against the linoleum floor. The entire History class went dead silent again. "Don't look at me," Hudson snapped. His chest heaved as if he could not get enough air. He wiped his hand across his mouth in pure disgust. Bailey shrank back in her seat. Her heart pounded violently against her ribs. The scent of pine and mint was overwhelming now. It made her stomach clench with a terrifying realization. The Moon Goddess was going to pair her with the monster who made her life a living hell. But she hoped all of this wasn't true, perhaps it was just her hormones changing. "I said look away from me, Omega," Hudson roared. The Alpha command in his voice forced Bailey to drop her chin instantly. Her neck ached from the sheer force of his power. Mr. Harrison stood at the front of the classroom. He held a piece of chalk but did not dare intervene. No one crossed the Alpha's sons.

Chapter: Chapter 1: The Cruel SmileBailey's Pov: "Wait. Please wait," Bailey yelled. Her lungs burned as the yellow school bus pulled away from the curb. Exhaust fumes hit her face. She stopped and rested her hands on her knees, gasping for air. The morning air was freezing. A light drizzle had just started to fall, soaking through her thin cotton jacket. A sleek black Porsche slowed down next to her. The tinted passenger window rolled down smoothly. Hudson leaned over from the driver's seat. His dark hair was perfectly styled. His eyes were cold blue ice. He wore a designer leather jacket that cost more than Bailey would make in a year. "Run faster, Omega," Hudson smirked. "Or did you forget how to use your legs?" Zayn laughed from the passenger seat. "Let her walk, Hud. It builds character." "You could give me a ride," Bailey said. Her voice shook from the cold. "We live in the same house." Hudson's eyes darkened instantly. All traces of amusement vanished. "We sleep under the same roof," Hudson
