Banished By The Alpha King:Claimed By The Cursed Lycan Beast

Banished By The Alpha King:Claimed By The Cursed Lycan Beast

Elara never imagined her quiet life as a wolfless handmaid would end in public humiliation and banishment. Traded by fate and framed by the golden princess who stole her identity at age twelve, Elara is rejected by the ruthless Alpha King Darius Thornwood in front of the entire realm. When Darius secretly offers her the position of hidden mistress and she refuses, Liora Kane frames her for poisoning and forces a “merciful” banishment only to send rogues to finish the job. In the blood-soaked Shadow Wilds, the legendary Cursed Lycan King, a feral beast chained by a thousand-year curse slaughters the rogues and claims Elara as his second-chance mate. Her suppressed hybrid powers awaken, revealing her as the last White Witch-Werewolf, the only being capable of breaking his curse. Now living in the Lycan King’s forbidden palace, Elara must prove she is far from weak while two kings wage war for her heart: one who discarded her and now hunts her with obsessive regret, and one who fights his own beast to court the woman who calms his curse. As ancient blood-witch wars erupt and Liora’s deadly secret threatens to destroy everything, Elara must choose, destroy the Alpha who broke her, or rule eternity beside the cursed beast who was always meant to be hers. Banished by the Alpha King: Claimed by the Cursed Lycan Beast is a fast-paced, steamy paranormal romance of rejected mates, hidden identities, explosive power awakenings, and a love strong enough to shatter curses and kingdoms.

Chapter: Chapter 201
Elara's POV – Happily Ever After Three years later. The garden was in full bloom. White roses climbed the trellises. Lavender swayed in the warm breeze. The sun was golden, warm on my skin, and the sound of laughter drifted through the air. I sat on the stone bench beneath the old oak tree, a cup of tea in my hands, and watched my family. Arthur was three years old now. His dark hair was a riot of curls, his gold eyes bright with mischief. He ran through the garden with a wooden sword in his hand, chasing butterflies that were too fast for him. His laugh was the most beautiful sound I had ever heard. Dana sat on the grass nearby, her belly round with her first child, her hand resting on it protectively. Kylan was sprawled beside her, his head in her lap, his eyes closed. He was pretending to be asleep, but I saw the smile tugging at his lips. Arthur ran to them, his wooden sword raised. "Uncle Kylan! Wake up! I am going to defeat you!" Kylan opened one eye. "Defeat me? You are

Chapter: Chapter 200
Elara's POVThe great hall was transformed once again.But this time, there was no crown. No formal ceremony. No weight of expectation. This was a celebration, pure and simple. A gathering to honor the newest life in the Lycan Kingdom.Arthur.The hall was filled with laughter and music. Tables groaned under the weight of roasted meats and fresh bread and sweet cakes. Flowers cascaded from every surface. Children ran between the legs of adults, their giggles echoing off the stone walls. Warriors who had once fought side by side now clapped each other on the back and shared tankards of ale.I stood at the center of it all, Arthur in my arms, his tiny face peeking out from the white linen blanket. His gold eyes were wide, taking in the crowd, the lights, the noise. He did not cry. He simply watched, his small fingers curling and uncurling against my chest."He is not afraid," Lucian said, appearing at my side. His hand found my waist, warm and steady."He is not afraid of anything," I s

Lucian's POVThe ceremony was forgotten.The crown slipped from my hands. The music stopped. The crowd gasped. I did not see any of it. I only saw Elara's face, pale and strained, her hand pressed to her belly."The baby is coming," she said again.I caught her as her knees buckled. She was trembling, her body already tensing with the first real contraction of labor. I lifted her into my arms and carried her through the great hall, past the stunned nobles, past the elders, past everyone who had gathered to celebrate. I did not care about the ceremony or the crown. I only cared about her."Get Gaius!" I shouted. "Get Gwen! Now!"The midwives were already waiting in our chambers, the ones I had personally chosen for their skill and their calm demeanors. They had delivered dozens of babies in the Lycan Kingdom, and they had assured me that everything would go smoothly. But nothing could have prepared me for the reality of watching Elara in pain.I laid her on the bed. She was already pan

Chapter: Chapter 198
Lucian's POV The weeks that followed were a blur of rebuilding. The great hall was restored. The shattered chandeliers were replaced. The tapestries were rewoven, depicting scenes of peace instead of war. The bodies were buried. The wounded were healed. The kingdom slowly, painfully, began to put itself back together. I spent most of my time in meetings—with elders, with pack leaders, with the few alphas who had survived Darius's assault. We replaced the fallen alphas with those who had proven their loyalty. We redistributed lands that had been seized by Darius's allies. We retrieved the Orb of the Earth from where Darius had hidden it and returned it to the vault beneath Alpha Lancelot's territory. The human world had been sealed again. The barrier was restored. The scientists of the United State of Arcadia had retreated, their portal closed, their magic gone. They would not be back. Not for a long time. Not while I was alive. And through it all, Elara was by my side. Her pregn

Elara's POVI woke with a gasp.The world came back in fragments. Stone ceiling. Flickering torchlight. The smell of incense and herbs. The circle of salt. The cold floor beneath my back.I sat up so fast my head spun. My hand immediately flew to my stomach. The warmth was still there. The tiny, familiar spark. Arthur was still there. Still alive. Still fighting.I let out a breath I had not realized I was holding.Then I looked beside me.Lucian was still lying in the circle, his eyes closed, his face pale. His chest was rising and falling, but barely. "Lucian." I shook his shoulder. "Lucian, wake up."He did not move."No." I shook him harder. "No, no, no. Please. Wake up."Gaius appeared at my side. "Elara, you need to—""I need him to wake up." My voice cracked. "The ritual did not work. It did not—""Give it time." Gwen was on my other side, his hand on my shoulder. "The mind is not always—""It worked."I looked up. Lucian's eyes were open. They were gold and warm. "Lucian!"I

Elara's POVThe forest swallowed me whole.The moment I stepped past the tree line, the moonlight vanished. The warmth of the city, the sounds of the night, everything I had grown accustomed to—it all disappeared. There was only darkness. Only cold. Only the pressing weight of ancient trees and the silence that felt alive.I walked deeper.My feet moved on their own, carrying me forward. I did not know where I was going. I did not know what I was looking for. But something was pulling me. Something was calling.The darkness thickened. The air grew colder. I could see my breath misting in front of my face.The sound tore through the silence. A growl, scarier than anything I had ever heard before. It came from everywhere and nowhere, vibrating through the ground, through my bones.Fear froze me in place. Two red eyes gleamed in the darkness. Massive. Hungry.The beast stepped forward.It was bigger than before. More terrifying. Its body was twisted, covered in matted fur that dripped w

Heart On Ice, Puck The Rules

Heart On Ice, Puck The Rules

Nova Reyes didn't come to Crestwood Academy to fall in love. She came to find out who drove Lily Chen to her death. The official story is that Lily fell from a school balcony. Nova knows better — the heart that saved her life came from Lily, and it's been sending her memories ever since: a hockey rink, a phone full of unsent texts, a balcony at night that jolts her awake gasping. So Nova does what it takes to get answers. She studies hard enough to secure a scholarship, rents a wardrobe she can't afford, and walks into Crestwood as someone she's not — close enough to Harper Caldwell, the girl she's certain destroyed Lily, to tear her apart from the inside. The plan doesn't survive contact with Ryker Lennox. He's Harper's oldest friend, Crestwood's hockey star, and the one person Nova never researched — because nothing about him should have mattered to her plan. Her heart skips the moment she sees him, and it doesn't stop. When Ryker catches her moonlighting at a job no Crestwood girl is supposed to need, he doesn't expose her — he strikes a deal. But Harper is watching too, collecting secrets of her own, and the closer Nova gets to the truth, the more she has to lose. I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER, Nova writes in red letters across Harper's locker. It's the first move in a war neither girl is ready to lose. Will Nova complete her mission or will she abandon it at the slightest appearance of adversary?

Chapter: 55 - The Deal
Ryker's POV Her name lit up my phone for the fifth time before I silenced it completely. Nova had been calling and texting since six-thirty. Short messages at first. Then longer ones. Where are you? Did something happen? Please just tell me you're okay. I stared at the last one until the screen went dark and locked the phone in the center console. I pulled up to Harper's house at seven on the dot in the new car. She came out already dressed like the morning belonged to her, slid into the passenger seat, and shut the door with a soft, satisfied click. "Smile, Ryker," she said, checking her reflection in the visor mirror. "Or people are going to think you're not happy being with me." "Isn't it obvious?" I kept my eyes on the road ahead. "I'm not happy being with you. You literally blackmailed me into this." She was quiet for a stretch of road. When she spoke again, her voice was calm and measured, like she had already won and was simply waiting for me to accept it. "It do

Chapter: 54 - Leverage
Harper's POV I held the paper up between us and watched his face change.The recognition hit first. Then the calculation. He recovered faster than most people would have.“That doesn’t prove anything.”I laughed. The sound came out bright and sharp in the dark driveway.Deep down I knew he was right. A handwritten list of rules wasn’t a signed confession. It wouldn’t hold up if anyone actually examined it. But leverage wasn’t always about airtight proof. Sometimes it was about the story you could make other people believe.“You’re right,” I said, still smiling. “By itself it doesn’t prove much. But it’s not just about proving your little arrangement with her. It’s about showing your grandfather the kind of person you’ve been meddling with. A girl who sleeps with teachers for grades. A girl who already cost one man his job and is working her way through the next opportunity.”Ryker moved fast. One second he was standing still, the next he had closed most of the distance. I stepped bac

Chapter: 53 - The Paper
Ryker's POV I was already in bed with the lights off when the knock came. Twenty minutes earlier I had told my mother I wasn’t coming down for dinner. I meant it. After the day at school, the equipment room, and everything Nova had finally told me, the last thing I wanted was to sit at that table and pretend my life was still the neat version my grandfather preferred. “Mom, I told you I wasn’t hungry.” Her voice came through the door, careful. “I know, dear. But we have a guest, and your grandpa insists you come down.” I stared at the ceiling. “A guest? Who is it?” “It’ll be best if you just come down on your own. Wouldn’t want him to come up here. You know how he can get.” Yeah. I knew exactly how he could get when someone ignored a direct request. The lectures. The cold silence. The reminders about the family name and the future that had been decided for me before I could walk. I dragged myself up, pulled a shirt on, and went downstairs with the kind of heavy steps that m

Chapter: 52 - Not Ready
Nova's POV I followed him all the way to the faculty lot. Mr. Grey moved fast, box of personal things under one arm, keys already in his hand. He popped the trunk of a plain gray sedan and set the box inside like he had done this before. When he turned and saw me still standing there, his face tightened. “You shouldn’t be out here.” “Why did you take the blame?” My voice came out rougher than I wanted. “You didn’t do anything. You saved me. Why stay quiet?” He shut the trunk harder than necessary. “Leave Crestwood, Ms. Reyes.” I stared at him. “What?” “Get out while you still can. This place isn’t worth dying for.” He unlocked the driver’s door. “Watch your back. And watch who you trust. There are people here you cannot cross.” “What does that mean? Who are you talking about?” He didn’t answer. He got in, started the engine, and pulled away without looking at me again. I took a few steps after the car like an idiot, still calling after him, when a familiar voice cut across t

Chapter: 51 - Pack Up And Leave!
Nova's POV The last day of the trip had been Friday. That gave me the entire weekend to pull myself together before school started again. I spent most of it in my room with the door closed. My mom asked once if I was coming down for dinner. I told her I wasn’t hungry and left it at that. I didn’t mention Mr. Grey. I didn’t mention the river or the jacket or the way the whole camp had looked at me. She had enough to worry about without adding this. The weekend moved too fast. Monday morning I stared at the ceiling and seriously considered staying in bed. Disappearing for the day felt easier than walking into Crestwood with that story already waiting for me. But not showing up would only make it worse. People would say I was guilty. Or broken. Or both. I sat up and called Ryker. He answered on the second ring, voice still rough from sleep but already carrying that lazy playfulness he used when he wanted to pretend nothing was heavy. “Reyes. To what do I owe the pleasure th

Chapter: 50 - Not Like This
Ryker's POV I woke up to noise outside the cabin and a bad feeling in my gut. One of the guys on the team was talking near the door about the river and Nova and a teacher. I sat up fast. “What did you just say?” He repeated it. Nova in the water. Top missing. Mr. Grey. The whole camp already deciding what it meant. I was on my feet and pulling on a shirt before he finished the sentence. I didn’t knock when I reached the nurse’s cabin. The door was half open. Priya stood outside like she was guarding it. She saw my face and just nodded toward the inside. Nova was alone on the cot, still wrapped in a jacket that wasn’t hers. Her hair was damp. Her eyes were red. When she looked up and saw me, she broke. I crossed the room in two steps and she was already reaching for me. I sat on the edge of the cot and pulled her in. She buried her face in my chest and cried hard enough that my shirt went wet almost immediately. I didn’t say anything at first. There was nothing useful
