Accidentally Marked By The Lycan King
After being betrayed and publicly humiliated by her Alpha fiancé, Alara is cast out of the only home she has ever known. Stripped of her title, her future, and her place within the pack, she flees into the wilderness—broken, banished, and utterly alone.
But Alara carries a secret even she doesn’t yet know: she is pregnant with the child of the mysterious stranger who rescued her on the night her world collapsed.
That stranger is Xavier—the ruthless, feared, and all-powerful Lycan King—whose life has been consumed by a single, maddening obsession: finding his fated mate. For years he has scoured realms, torn through territories, and chased whispers of her scent, driven by an instinct he can no longer ignore.
What he doesn’t know is that the woman he’s been desperately searching for is the very one fate has already placed in his arms… and bound to him far more deeply than either can imagine.

Chapter: Chapter 44: The Crescent Must BreakXavier’s POVThe storm clouds rolled low over the palace as I descended the grand steps toward the council courtyard. A familiar scent — dark pine, steel, and wolf — cut through the wind long before his silhouette appeared.Ronan. Alpha of the Midnight Pack. Former battle brother. Once the closest thing I had to a brother besides my own blood.We hadn’t spoken in months. Not since the border wars, not since everything began shifting, twisting into something darker that neither of us could fully name.But today he was here. And I already knew it wasn’t for pleasantries.Ronan stood tall in the courtyard, his cloak whipping behind him. The moment our eyes locked, something tight in my chest loosened, but just as quickly twisted again because the look in his eyes wasn’t the one I remembered.It wasn’t camaraderie. It wasn’t relief. And it was a grim warning.“Xavier.” He clasped my forearm, his grip firm, but the tension in his jaw robbed the gesture of comfort.“Ronan.” I steadied mysel

Chapter: Chapter 43: What The Moon AwakenedAlara’s POVThe morning after my argument with Xavier passed in a suffocating haze of silence.The palace was quieter than usual. As if the walls themselves were holding their breath after the assassin’s intrusion. Guards rotated past my door at regular intervals, their footsteps echoing down the corridor like distant drums. Even without looking, I could feel the change in their posture whenever they neared my room.Wary. Alert. On edge because of me.Or maybe because of what hunted me.Astrid was restless. She paced inside my mind like a caged ember that refused to dim. Xavier’s absence gnawed at her, but she kept her comments to herself after last night. The bond between us hummed faintly, tender and bruised, like we had both been holding knives by the blade.But today, I refused to sit and drown in the aftermath.I needed answers. I needed control. I needed to do something.Even if Xavier didn’t want me wandering around, there was one person who would help me anyway.Just after dawn

Chapter: Chapter 42: Caged Under MoonlightAlara’s POVThe palace felt smaller the next morning.Narrower halls, tighter rooms, shadows that seemed to press in on all sides. It wasn’t the walls that trapped me, Xavier had sealed every corridor leading out of my quarters, posted more guards at my door, and stationed two more inside my sitting room.All of it because of what happened last night. Because of the intruder. Because the rogue had whispered that I belonged to something ancient. And because Xavier was terrified.I should have felt safe.Instead, I felt watched. Contained. Controlled.I paced in front of the balcony doors, the crescent mark beneath my wrist tingling with a faint pulse. The silver shimmer had grown more visibl

Chapter: Chapter 41: The Whisper Before DeathXavier’s POVThe scent hit me first — wrong, oily, metallic, and slithering through the corridors like a smear of rot. It didn’t belong anywhere in my wing, not in the guarded heart of the palace, not within twenty steps of where Alara slept.My Lycan surged to the surface before my mind could fully catch up. ‘Intruder. Close.’I moved swiftly, silently, the marble beneath my boots absorbing each step like the palace itself understood the danger creeping through its spine. I followed the stench down the private hallway leading to my chambers — a place where no warrior dared to step without permission.A low growl rumbled in my chest as the shadow ahead shifted.The rogue stepped into view.Except… this was not like any rogue I had encountered in the field or near the borders. His eyes were black — not just dark — but void-like. Empty. As if something had scooped out the soul inside him.He turned his head unnaturally slow, like a puppet being dragged by strings.My claws burst through

Chapter: Chapter 40: The Weight of a Waning MoonAlara’s POVI felt like a ghost moving through the palace.Every hallway seemed longer than before. Every murmur felt sharper, directed at me even when I couldn’t hear the actual words. Eyes followed me and each one carved deeper into the hollow stretching inside my chest.The air carried the same question everywhere I went: What are you?And I didn’t have an answer.Astrid tried to soothe me, her presence curling around the frayed edges of my thoughts like warm silver smoke. ‘You are you,’ she murmured. ‘You are his. That is enough.’But her reassurance didn’t stick. Not when sparks flickered over my palms like they were remembering something I had never learned. Not when Xavier looked at me with those eyes that said more than he could.Rylan trailed behind me as I walked across the west wing, but I stopped him with a raised hand. “Please,” I whispered. “Give me space.”He didn’t budge. “My duty—”“Your King didn’t order you to hover,” I snapped, sharper than I intended. “And I’m not

Chapter: Chapter 39: The Hidden ArchivesXavier’s POVI felt the bond strain the moment Alara walked away from me in the courtyard — her shoulders tight, her breath uneven, her scent tangled in fear and a kind of distant resignation that made something inside me snap. She had never looked at me that way before. Not even when she’d first arrived… broken, trembling, fighting for her life. Back then she had looked at me with defiance, fire.This was different. This was withdrawal. A quiet pulling away that scared me more than any rogue threat ever had.Marcus paced inside me, claws digging into the edges of my control. ‘You let her fear herself,’ he snarled. ‘Fix it. Fix her scent. Fix everything.’But I couldn’t — not when I didn’t even understand what the hell was happening to her.Not when the corrupted rogue had whispered, half-rotting and possessed: “The Master wants the Crescent…” Right before he turned into ash.Not when shadows bent around her palms. Not when her power made the air itself shift. And especially not when

Chapter: Epilogue [Three years later…]"Breathe in… breathe out…" Ayla was mumbling to herself as she tried to calm down her jittery nerves.She was standing before a floor length mirror, her eyes focused on her own reflection as her dress glinted under the warm lighting of her new room. Bringing her palms to the front of the dress, she ran them down in attempts to smoothen down the nonexisting creases. She couldn't help the worrying thoughts resonating at the back of her mind, her frown only deepening. But before she could delve down further, a knock at the door brought her out."Is anyone inside?"The voice was so familiar to her that a sigh of relief left her lips unconsciously."It's just me in here." Ayla breathed out as a soft smile tugged at the corners of her lips. She had sent everyone out including the make-up artist and her team once they had

Chapter: 191: Desires (II)*[The following chapter includes mention of R-18 content. Kindly read at your own discretion.] Claude sucked onto the soft spot as his finger moved inside her, earning her moans in return which were not less than a siren's call for him, luring him to continue. He felt her insides tightening around his finger as he moved it relentlessly. He knew that she was close to finding her release and deliberately slowed down his movements. Ayla could feel her orgasm building up, inching closer to the edge. She let out a frustrated groan when Claude slowed down his movements. "D-don't st-op." She managed to say in between her gasps for air. "Oh! I am not planning to, my love, not tonight." Claude murmured against her skin and moved his lips to her cleavage, biting and sucking on her fair, smooth skin. "This might hurt a bit." He said as he inserted

She managed to mutter out as she held Claude's gaze. "You must have hit your brain if that's what's going through your brain." Claude scoffed as he leaned down to capture her lips in a passionate kiss. This time she didn't push him away but responded with the same passion. It wasn't until both of them ran out of their breaths did they pull back. "Do you understand now how much you mean to me?" Claude flicked her forehead as if he was reprimanding a small child. "I do… you mean no less to me." She smiled for the first time today and it was enough for Claude to know that everything was going to be just fine. All she needed was a little time and his love. "I love you." Claude mumbled

"Are you done, love?" He made sure that he was loud enough for his voice to go through the thick door. It had already been an hour. But she hadn't come out yet. Claude was starting to get worried. "Ayla?" He called out her name again only to be met with the same reply—silence. Though he could hear the water running constantly, he wasn't able to hear her voice. "Ayla?" He tried it one more time before making his way to the other side of the room. Claude searched through a drawer and then moved to another one. If only he could remember where he kept it. "Found it." He mumbled under his breath as soon as his eyes landed on a golden key. It was the master key

He didn't waste another second and rushed to her, not paying any attention to the culprit. He would have plenty of time for him later. At the moment, the only thing which mattered to her was the wellbeing of his girl.With hurried steps, Claude walked to where she was and started to untie the ropes which were holding her in place."How the hell are you here? Where are my men?" Gavin kept babbling but even then, Claude paid him no attention. He was so busy sheeting with rage that he didn't bother paying attention to anything else. Not the men, who were dressed in black from head to

Chapter: 187: The Culprit (I)*[The following chapter includes mention of sexual assault. Kindly read at your own discretion.] "Let me tell you a story, kitten." He pushed himself off the wall, dusting his coat in the process. Gavin walked to the other side of the room to pick a chair and dragged it to the centre of the room. He settled down on it so that he was facing Ayla. "What story?" Despite the fact that she was scared for her life, she didn't show it on her face. She knew that she had to put up a brave front until Claude could reach her. He would realize sooner or later that she was missing. With a smile, Gavin began.

Chapter: Chapter 47Alaris***"Hello, Marcus…." I watched her through the eyes of my beast. The way her eyes flickered across mine might have someone believing that she was scared of my wolf. But that was far from the truth. The trust that swirled in those stormy gray orbs of hers for Marcus was too obvious even for me to ignore. She knew that no harm would come to her as long as he was present there. I hoped that she held the same thoughts when it came to me. As much as I might find her annoying, I would never let her get harmed in any way. She was our little one after all. As much as I found the idea frustrating, I had come to terms with it. Sera was someone Marcus was too fond of to let go. She might not be our moon blessed, but she was now a part of our lives; she was someone I wouldn't mind having around. "I wish I could understand you." I stared down at her and realized that she was referring to the low whines Marcus was creating. It was his attempt at conversing with her. He nudged the side

Chapter: Chapter 46Seraphine***I have been pacing across my room since I returned. I wanted to run away from all of it. My family. My new life. The pack and the wolves. And… Alaris.The last one was most likely the only one that had me going against my flight response. I wanted to stay and fight against whoever it was after me. It was one of the reasons why I wanted an escape from my life. Why would someone come after? What did they want from me? Why go to such lengths of sending a bunch of rogues into another pack's borders just to get me—someone who didn't even have her own wolf? There were too many questions and no answers to any of them. 'How are you holding up?' A voice pulled me out of my reverie, and had me replying to myself as I was too lost to figure out the source of it. "Thanks for asking, Mom. I am doing good." I turned halfway around to look over my shoulder to find the door to my room shut. There was no one standing in the doorway either, or on the other side. "What the heck?" I mu

Chapter: Chapter 45 Seraphine***After roaming along rows after rows of tall wooden shelves, each of which was stacked with books of all kinds, I found myself yawning. Though I could easily pass for a nerd back in college, it wasn't as exciting to go through a big, thick history book as it was studying science. Even when it was about some mythical creatures, history had always bored me. "I guess this should be enough for today." I flipped to the next page and slid in a threaded bookmark in between the pages to keep a track on where I ended. I knew I needed to continue with my research if I were to do anything about my wolf. Yes, Alaris was of great help, but there were certain things which were out of his control. And unless I had a better understanding of them, all of our efforts would be for nothing. I pushed myself up from the wooden chair and groaned internally as I stretched my upper body. One thing was for sure, the pack could do with better—and more comfortable—chairs in the library.
