The Cursed King’s Captive: A Mate In Disguise
“Julian was born to lead. An Alpha’s daughter, fierce and untamed, destined to inherit power and command. But fate is cruel. In one blood-soaked night, her entire pack is slaughtered, her name erased, her legacy burned to ash. Forced into the shadows, she binds her breasts, silences her rage, and becomes a phantom hiding behind a boy’s name to survive the hunt.
Until she’s captured by him.
Lucian. The infamous Alpha King. A brutal warlord feared across the realm, dominant, unyielding and devastatingly lethal. He mistakes her for an assassin. She knows better. He is her fated mate and the one man her body burns for, the one soul she must never touch. Desire coils between them like a live wire, tempting fate with every stolen glance, every forbidden thought.
But Lucian is cursed, dark magic coils through his veins, and Julian harbors secrets that could destroy them both. As lust ignites into obsession and deception turns deadly, ancient prophecies stir, and enemies circle like wolves in heat.
Julian wasn’t born to run.
She was born to conquer.
And the Alpha King will either kneel at her side…
or be brought to his knees beneath her.”

Chapter: Chapter 100Jules POVThe evening was bright with laughter and warm light from the candles. The table was filled with roasted meat, fresh bread, and glasses of sweet red wine. Lucian, Aegon, Elena, and I sat around it, celebrating their engagement. Elena’s face glowed with happiness as Aegon held her hand tightly, and I couldn’t stop smiling at the sight of them. “I’m so happy for you, brother,” Lucian said, raising his glass. “Marriage duties soon, and then you’ll forget you’re the Beta of this pack.” Aegon grinned. “Just like you’ve forgotten your role as Alpha since you got married, leaving all the work to me.”Everyone laughed. The sound filled the room, soft and easy. For the first time in a long while, everything felt perfect..peaceful, almost too perfect.But then I felt it. A sudden twist deep in my stomach. At first, I thought it was nothing, but the sharp taste of bile rose up my throat so fast I barely had time to breathe.I pushed back my chair and ran out, holding my mouth. I barel

Chapter: Chapter 99Jules POV“And the submissive crap?” I asked, crossing my arms and watching him closely. Lucian’s lips curved into a faint smile. “Oh that? Fuck that,” he said with a low growl that almost made me laugh. “I’ll do anything for you, Jules. When we get back, I’m abolishing that law, and no one can stop me.” His tone was sharp, confident, full of that Alpha fire I once fell in love with.I couldn’t help it…I smiled and threw my arms around him. The moment I felt his warmth, my chest ached. I had missed him so much. “I’ve missed you, Lucian,” I whispered, my voice shaking as tears filled my eyes.He pressed his lips against my hair. “I’ve missed you too, Jules,” he murmured. Then he lifted my chin, and before I could say another word, his mouth met mine.The kiss was deep and desperate, full of everything we hadn’t said for weeks. His hands pulled me closer, his breath warm against my lips, and my fingers tangled in his hair. The world outside didn’t matter; it felt like time had stopped

Chapter: Chapter 98Jules POVThis was too much to bear. My whole body felt heavy, and my chest burned with pain. My childhood had been a lie, every memory twisted by secrets no one cared to tell me. I covered my face with my hands, but the tears still slipped through.“Why are you telling me all this?” I sobbed, my voice breaking. Queen Nyx stood tall in front of me, her crown catching the golden light from the chandeliers. Her face stayed calm, too calm, like my pain didn’t mean a thing. “Because you deserve to know,” she said. “And because the Moon Goddess brought you here for a reason.”Her tone was cold, and that made me cry even harder. “You need to go back to the Ironhowl pack,” she said after a moment. “You can stay here for as long as you want, but you must return eventually. Staying here weakens Lucian.”I shook my head, wiping my tears. “I’m not going back. Lucian doesn’t want me, and they’ll kill me if I return.” She turned to face me slowly, her gaze sharp.“You’re still scared of them with

Chapter: Chapter 97Jules POVMy eyes fluttered open, and the ceiling above me looked strange…smooth and carved with gold edges. I blinked a few times, trying to remember where I was, but nothing looked familiar. My body felt weak, like I had been asleep for days.“Oh, she’s awake, Luna,” a soft voice said from somewhere nearby. I turned my head slowly and saw a woman standing a few feet away from me. She wore a crown that glimmered even in the dim light, and her long dark hair flowed down her back in waves streaked with silver. Her eyes were calm, like they saw everything. She looked to be in her late forties, yet there was something powerful about her beauty. “Hi, dear. How are you feeling?” she asked with a warm smile that somehow made me feel even more uneasy.I didn’t answer right away. My eyes darted around the room. Every corner shone with gold…curtains, vases, even the legs of the furniture. The air smelled of roses and burning candles. It was the most beautiful room I had ever seen, but it did

Chapter: Chapter 96Jules POVLucian walked off the stage without looking back. His steps were fast and heavy, and before I could think, I ran after him. My heart was pounding so loud I could barely hear the crowd shouting behind me. “Lucian! Wait!” I called out, but he didn’t stop. The guards blocked my way as we got close to the pack house. “You can’t follow the Alpha now,” one of them said.“Who gave you the right to tell me what to do?” I snapped, my voice shaking with anger. I stepped close to him, and he dropped his gaze. “Don’t ever talk to me again unless you want to beg for your life,” I warned.He stepped aside quickly, and I rushed into the pack house. Lucian was standing in the middle of the living room, his back turned to me. His shoulders were tense, and I could feel the anger rolling off him.“Lucian, can we talk?” I said softly, stepping closer. He turned around, and the look in his eyes made my stomach twist. His jaw was tight, his lips pressed together. “Why didn’t you tell me, Jules?

Chapter: Chapter 95Jules POVI woke up with a heavy heart that morning. All I could feel was sadness and confusion. I hadn’t seen Lucian since yesterday, and I needed to talk to him about the book and those horrible rules. But the pack had traditions, and one of them was that the bride and groom couldn’t see each other the night before the mating ceremony. My stomach was tight, my mind restless. I sat there, staring at my hands until the door opened and people flooded into the room…makeup artists, hairstylists, and maids carrying dresses and jewelry. Everyone was smiling and chattering, but I felt empty inside.“Congratulations, Luna,” one of them said with excitement as she placed the white and gold dress on the bed. “Today’s your big day.”I forced a smile. “Yeah… I know.”They worked on me for hours…styling my hair, brushing shimmer across my cheeks, tightening the lace of my dress. I barely looked at myself in the mirror. My thoughts kept drifting to Lucian. Did he really not read those rules? Di

Chapter: Chapter 106CALLISTER'S POVThe silence in the western tower made it the only place accommodative enough to think. I drowned in the peace as I paced from one pillar to another, thinking of my next line of action. Odessa was somewhere in the mansion, receiving treatment. When she wakes up, she'll obviously spill everything she knows. My father will come to know that I was the driving force to this disaster. The reason why the earth cried blood, why there were skeletons lying around, and why the once glorious estate has fallen to shambles. I cared less about the corpses I was walking past and the blood I was walking through. I barely noticed any of them unless I stopped to look at the floor. Someone had taped the western tower to keep people away, which is why I became curious when the door clicked. I found the shadows close to a wall and hid, waiting for the intruder. Shoes clicked slowly against the floor, each step sending a warning to me. My claws extended while I fed on the last drop of pa

Chapter: Chapter 105PENELOPE'S POV The stairs felt endless as Hayley guided me down. My hands stayed locked together in front of me, a shield against the nerves clawing inside my chest. The gown they gave me felt too heavy, too strange on my body. I tried to keep my breathing steady, but each step sent my heart racing harder.The sound of voices reached me before I saw the room. A low hum of chittering and laughter floated from below, rich and casual, the kind of noise made by people who felt too powerful to fear anything. My wolf curled in unease at the sound.When we reached the final step, the hall revealed itself.It was vast, pillars carved from dark stone stretched high toward a ceiling decorated with golden lamps. A long table filled the center, and around it sat men and women in fine clothes. Their faces were proud, sharp, eyes glinting with something dangerous. Wine cups clinked, silver plates gleamed, and laughter spilled across the hall.They looked nothing like rogues. No, they looked like r

Chapter: Chapter 104MALIA'S POVThe ride back to Ironclad felt endless, but for once, I didn’t mind the silence. My body ached from every cut, every bruise, but leaning against Lucas’s side numbed it all. His warmth wrapped around me, his arm never once letting go as if I might vanish again if he loosened his grip. The night air bit cold against my skin as we moved through the woods. Lucas and I chose to use the cars, while the wolves raced ahead of us. A few of them were behind, keeping to the pace of the car and those ahead. The moon was slowly losing its light, getting swallowed by the clouds of day. The warmth it brought was supposed to feel refreshing, or at least give me a sense of relief. But it only doubled my curiosity and fear for what lay ahead, waiting for us in the pack. I closed my eyes for a moment, surrendering to the small heaven Lucas's presence created. The world outside was chaos, smoke, and blood but here, pressed into him, I felt safe. His fingers brushed against mine occasional

Chapter: Chapter 103MALIA'S POVLight returned to the room as the door slid open. The noise stirred me from slumber, pushing my heart to the edge. Every hour I spent tied to this chair made me wonder how much time the Ironclad pack had left, and how things were going on the outside. I blinked the tears blurring my vision away, finally getting a glimpse of the woman approaching. Bianca. Her hand was stained with blood, a little of it smeared on her dress and shoes. She wore an expression I've never seen on her face before, reeking of strength. “I believe you're here to save me,” I stated right before she began working her way with the ropes around my wrist. She got them off quickly and moved to my legs. “Where's Rhaegal?” I asked. “In Ironclad, I believe,” she responded as she cut the ropes off my legs. Freedom….at last. I've never been stringed up to a chair as long as this. Even the air began to smell different as I stood up. “Which means it has started?” “Yes,” she answered. “But we brought on

Chapter: Chapter 102PENELOPE'S POVThe silence surrounding the western tower was enough make me one assume that it was safe–untouched by the madness spreading in the other parts of the pack. For one second, I felt happiness course through me. If Daemon is safe, then the rest of the pack would be safe as well. All we needed to do was let him know the pack is under siege. But like someone always says in one of my father's meetings when I was young, ”there's no telling an alpha his duties,” We went up to the door and I was about to push it open when Ezra grabbed my hand. “Listen,” he whispered, same time, leading me away from the door. We crouched behind a pillar. “What?” “There's more than one heart beat in there. They're here already,” “You can't be so sure,” I pulled away and tried to return to the door, but he grasped my arm.“You're staying behind me all through. Don't forget,” “Daemon needs to know what's going on,” I persisted. Ezra pulled me back to the darkness with a force that threw me

Chapter: Chapter 101CALLISTER’S POV“Alpha Duncan,” A lie that stuck at the back of my head the moment I remembered that they were not on good terms. Their heads snapped to my direction, my father's bearing the most questionable stern. “Duncan? Duncan was at the party?” “I saw when he arrived with a few council members,” I kept the lie going. “I doubt he wanted to create a scene. But….A rumor was spread in this hall, and I watched him lash out on a guard who tried stopping him from attacking Penelope,” “What role did she have to play in this?” He interrupted. I swallowed, narrating the exact statement she made. Which means…he hadn't heard it, and I am the one bringing it to his hearing first. His eyes twitched as he turned away. I noticed the way his hands trembled, like he was putting so much effort to hold back his anger. “So…Duncan lashed out on a wolf. And he decided to spread that anger to the rest of the guest,” “I wasn't here to see it all to the end. But….that's what I believe,” “That's
