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 14Jules POVI couldn’t stop staring at Lucian. He lay still, pale, lips parted just slightly. Fear coiled in my chest, but something deeper tugged at me—an invisible force drawing me close, even as my instincts urged me to flee.I stepped back, thoughts racing. I needed to breathe. The room felt tight, pressing in from all sides. My fingers fumbled at the doorknob, desperate to get out.It wouldn’t move. I twisted harder. Nothing. Sealed tight. I leaned close, catching the sharp scent of scorched metal. The lock wasn’t normal. He’d done something. I was trapped.My heartbeat roared in my ears. The air felt heavier. I wanted to run, but my limbs wouldn’t obey.Lucian hadn’t moved, but that strange feeling wouldn’t let go. I hovered in place, stuck between logic and something I couldn’t name. Every part of me warned to escape but I didn’t.I studied him—the shape of his face, the way his hair brushed his brow, his quiet breaths. I told myself none of it mattered. But it did. And the pull

Chapter: Chapter 13Jules POVI didn't spare a second for thought as I heard the door bang violently behind me. Before I had time to react, Lucian ran toward me, his eyes red, his claws sharp in the dark. Lucian had a power and intensity I had never before felt, and everything about him felt dangerous.He didn’t stop. He marched forward, locking the door with steady hands, making sure no one could come in—and that I couldn’t get out. His footsteps were slow and strong, his breath uneven, but not from being tired. It came from something darker. Something I couldn’t name, but it filled the space, thick and heavy.Before I moved, his hand grabbed my throat, squeezing tight. He lifted me like I weighed nothing. My fingers clawed at his arm, trying to loosen his hold.“Stop—let me go!” I sobbed, fingers trembling with rage and fear. I pounded his chest with both fists, but his chest felt like a tree. Lucian's eyes shifted, and then his face twisted with a wild expression beyond description.His teeth clenche

Chapter: Chapter 12Lucian’s POVHe didn’t understand.Not the room that had gone quiet at my command.Not the weight of my fury, nor the restraint it took not to tear Gunner limb from limb.And certainly not the way his trembling defiance made something inside me fracture dangerously.I should have been satisfied. I’d won. No price, no threat, no king could take him from me. He was mine.But his voiceThat cracked whisper, “I’m not a possession.”It echoed in my skull like a curse I couldn’t silence.And for the first time in years, I felt something other than rage.It wasn’t mercy. It wasn’t pity.It was something darker. Something uncontrollable.Because the bond had snapped into place the moment I saw him.The mate pull—unmistakable. Violent.But it didn’t make sense.He was supposed to be a boy. A slave. Nothing.And yet, everything in me screamed mine.Every breath he took burned in my lungs.Every word out of his mouth made my control slip further.And that scent—gods, that scent—it was driving me

Chapter: Chapter 11Jules POVHis eyes were cold, unblinking, as if he were staring through Gunner, seeing not the alpha of the Ravenstone Pack but merely a man unworthy of his time.Gunner, however, didn’t flinch. He met Lucian’s eyes with a calculating smile, seemingly unbothered by the refusal. He was used to having everything at his disposal, used to being in control. His hands were clasped tightly together, his fingers intertwined as he stood lost in thought.“You misunderstand, Lucian,” Gunner said smoothly, his tone laced with mock sympathy. “This is not a matter of buying or selling. This is a business proposition. You get what you want, and I get what I want.”He leaned forward slightly, the gleam in his eyes growing sharper. “Ten thousand talons is a fair price for a slave like him. You know the value of such things. But for you… I’m willing to make it better.”He waved his hand dismissively as he stepped back clearly not expecting Lucian to back down. “Fifty thousand talons,” Gunner said, his

Chapter: Chapter 10Jules POVI closed my eyes. Not out of surrender but trust. A trembling, dangerous trust that this stranger would hold my secret, cradle my fear.Gale’s hands slid to the waistband of my trousers but he didn’t move further. He simply stayed there, warm and steady, his fingers pressing into the fabric with quiet reassurance.Around us, the room was wild with hunger and noise.But between us, there was silence.A pact.And as I pressed closer to him, leaning into the only refuge I had in this hell, one thought burned through my mind like wildfire:If the king suspected something, I was dead.But Gale… Gale was shielding me with his body, his performance, his unexpected mercy.And so, I clung to him, letting the lie live because it was the only thing keeping me alive.Gale’s hands moved lower, slow and deliberate, slipping just inside my trousers but he didn’t go further. He paused there, the heat of his palms grounding me, not pushing. Just holding."You're so wet," he murmured against

Chapter: Chapter 9Jules POVI swallowed hard.This wasn’t just survival now. This was a game of fire, and I had no choice but to play.The room was heavy with anticipation as I met Gale’s eyes, his sharp jawline and piercing stare commanding attention. The floor beneath us glowed dimly, casting flickers of gold across bare skin and eager eyes. Around us, shadows danced to the rhythm of lust and wine-soaked laughter, the air thick with want.This was no longer just a party. It was a spectacle.And I was the centerpiece.Gale’s gaze lingered on me with that crooked grin, his voice low enough to make my skin crawl. He reached out, and I let him. His fingers brushed my wrist, his touch deceptively gentle. He didn’t pull. He didn’t need to. The moment I stepped forward, the crowd responded with a chorus of hushed laughter and slow, delighted claps.The scent of sandalwood and smoke lingered on Gale’s skin as he led me to the center. My feet felt heavy against the polished floor, my heart hammering loud eno

In His Arms: The Alpha’s Temptress
Penelope was the girl they broke. Now, she’s the woman who’ll destroy them all.
She once thought love would save her. Julian the golden boy of the Callister Pack was supposed to be her forever. But one night shattered everything. Drugged. Humiliated. Framed.
Her best friend and her mate betrayed her in the most brutal way imaginable, and the pack she once called home cast her out like filth.
Whipped. Starved. Left to rot in the Ashborne Pack dungeons. Her innocence was replaced by something colder and sharper. A year later, the world thinks she’s forgotten. Forgiven.
They couldn’t be more wrong.
But when her father strikes a deal with Alpha Daemon Callister’s father, Penelope is forced to move into the mansion of her enemy. She swore she’d make Callister pay.
Her plan was simple: seduce Alpha Daemon, destroy Callister, and take back everything she lost. Make Callister jealous. Make her watch as she sank her claws into Alpha Daemon, Callister’s father. Cold. Dangerous. Untouchable.
She would seduce him. Use him and then walk away, satisfied.
But revenge turned into obsession.
Not hers. His.
Daemon wasn’t supposed to fall.
Wasn’t supposed to crave her like a sickness.
Now, he watches her every move.
Marks her skin with his mouth.
Kills any man who dares to look at her twice.
He knows about the age gap.
But he doesn’t care, he doesn’t just want her love.
He wants her submission.
Because now that she’s in his bed,
he’ll ruin anyone who tries to take her away even if it means destroying his own blood.

Chapter: Chapter 15Penelope’s POVHe settled into the chair like a king settling into her own seat on stage and spreading out, legs apart, knuckles hooked under the arms of the chair as if the chair might splinter under his fingers. Only his eyes never left mine. I strode toward him slowly, my hips moving in a deliberate way.The air between us felt hot with intangible tension as if it would combust at any moment. When I reached him, I didn’t climb into his lap. Not yet.I leaned down and placed my hands on the arms of the chair, my lips close to his ear, my voice intentionally light and teasing. “Tell me something, Daemon…”His breath caught. “What?”I ran a fingertip from his jaw down the center of his throat, pausing above the pounding pulse in his neck.“How many women have begged to have you like this?” I whispered. “On their knees. Whispering your name like a prayer?”His eyes darkened.“Too many,” he said.“And how many,” I continued, brushing my lips against his cheek, “have ever made you sit

Chapter: Chapter 14Daemon’s POVSilence.Then that voice, smooth and dark like silk soaked in venom.“Gentle?” he purred. “She wants the storm, Daemon. She wants to be broken open. Filled. Claimed.”I couldn’t help it. I let out a groan, thick with need. Pictures currently clouded my mind, so real I felt. I could see Penelope arching beneath me, eyes glazed with lust, her mouth parted as she whispered my name. Her thighs trembling around me. Her claws raking into my back, nails digging deeper into my skin. Desperate for more.I swallowed. I almost buckled to my knees.“Stop,” I said, barely audible. I held onto the table as if it would hold me in place. “Stop doing this to me.”“She’s wet for us right now,” Zephyr hissed inside me. “She’s thinking of us. Her body’s calling to us and she doesn’t even know she’s mine yet.”I stared into the mirror. My reflection wasn’t my own anymore.Flushed. Wild. Possessed.My eyes glowed, his glow.I looked insane.I was insane.And still, I smirked. A haunted, broken

Chapter: Chapter 13Daemon’s POVI held her tight. Tighter than I should’ve, like if I let go she might disappear again. Callister buried her face into my chest, her shoulders trembling with the kind of fear she didn’t want me to see.“I’m here now,” I murmured. “I’ve got you, baby girl.”She pulled back, just enough to look up at me. Her eyes were red but steady.“I didn’t mean for it to go this far,” she whispered.“What happened?” I asked gently, brushing a lock of hair behind her ear. “How the hell did this even start?”She bit her lip, glancing away like she was ashamed. “It was just supposed to be a party. Julian said it was harmless, just nobles and wine. Nothing serious.”I was tense. “That’s never just a party in this place, Callister. You should know that.”“I know,” she said softly. “But I got into it with Elira. She said something about Mom. Something disgusting. I hit her. She hit back. And I..” her voice cracked. “I shifted. In front of everyone.”My jaw clenched.Of course she fought back.

Chapter: Chapter 12Daemon’s POVThe door clicked shut behind me as I entered the chamber assigned to me.Dim, quiet, and colder than expected but that didn’t matter. I wasn’t here to rest.I scanned the room with sharp eyes, noting every detail: the narrow window to the north, the tapestry along the far wall, the heavy oak chest in the corner. No hidden threats. Not yet.I took off the soaked shirt clinging to my skin and dropped it to the floor. Blood-streaked and torn, it was useless now. My shoulder still ached from the river swim, but I’d had worse. Much worse.Crossing to the bathroom, I shut the door behind me and turned on the vintage shower faucet, letting cold water slap against my chest. I needed to clear my head. Fast. Duncan could be back any hour now, and I had too many moves to make before he returned.Penelope was locked away safely for now. But this mission was bigger than her. Bigger than vengeance. It was about Callister. And I didn’t have time to…A sound.A shift of breath. The faint

Chapter: Chapter 11Penelope’s POVDaemon’s eyes dropped for a fraction of a second.But then he looked away, jaw locking and his throat shifting as he swallowed.He wasn’t unaffected. He just wouldn’t let himself be.“Freshen up,” he said tightly. “Someone will be sent to tend to your needs.”He turned to leave, hand already on the door handle.“And Penelope…” His voice dropped, almost gravel now. “Don’t come out. Not unless I tell you to.”The door slammed shut behind him.And I was left alone, half-naked, steaming from my own skin, and breathless with the sound of my heartbeat pounding in my ears.The warmth of the fire crackled faintly, but it did nothing to stop the cold that still danced over my skin.I was still half-naked. Still wet. Still shivering.I wrapped my arms around myself and stood, bare feet pressing against the wooden floor as I made my way slowly toward the door. My body was stiff, sore, and exhausted, but curiosity buzzed louder than my aches.I heard them, muffled voices just beyon

Even Daemon.One by one, bodies hit the water with loud splashes, swallowed by the dark river.But me?I froze.My whole body locked up. My fingers gripped the edge of the boat like it was the only thing keeping me alive. The arrows were still coming, raining from the sky like fire sent from angry gods.And still… I couldn’t move.“Penelope!” Daemon’s voice ripped through the air, sharp and commanding.I looked upAnd that’s when I saw it.An arrow. On fire. Coming straight for my face.My breath caught. My legs moved.I jumped and the boat tipped over.The cold hit me like a punch. The river wasn’t just water, it was ice. A living, breathing glacier that swallowed me whole. I gasped the second I went under, the cold stealing the air from my lungs.But I knew how to swim. That was what saved me.So I kicked hard, pushing through the water. I surfaced, spitting out a mout
