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 51
Chapter 51 Elara’s POVLucian cursed under his breath, low and rough, the sound vibrating against my chest.Dana covered her eyes with her palm, cheeks flushing pink. “I’m sorry, I didn’t see anything. I’ll come back later.”“You and Kylan have such terrible timing,” Lucian said, voice still thick with frustration.I was still sitting on his lap, face buried in his chest from pure embarrassment. My heart hammered so loud I was sure Dana could hear it. I tried to stand, but his arm tightened around my waist, holding me right where I was.“What are you doing?” I whispered through gritted teeth. “Let me go.”Dana shifted awkwardly, peeking through her fingers. “Uhhh… I can come back later, you know.”“Go ahead with your message,” Lucian said, calm as ever. “I’m listening.”This was worse than the morning Kylan knocked on my door. This was torture. Apparently I wasn’t the only one. Dana looked like she wanted the floor to swallow her whole. She cleared her throat and started talking abou

Chapter: Chapter 50
Elara’s POVI woke up well rested, even after yesterday’s events.The bed felt more comfortable than usual, the sheets warm from the morning sun. Lucian’s scent still lingered on the pillow beside me, faint but comforting. The candy incident at the restaurant had been terrifying, but the rest of the evening, the quiet conversation, the way he had held my hand the entire drive back — had made everything else fade. I stretched, smiling to myself. For the first time in weeks, I felt light.I waited for breakfast, but none came.The usual knock from the maids never sounded. No tray, no cheerful greeting. What was keeping them?Curiosity won. I slipped on a simple robe and padded barefoot down the corridor toward the dining hall.The smell hit me first — warm butter, fresh herbs, eggs scrambled with a hint of cheese and chives, thick slices of toasted bread, and the rich aroma of coffee. My stomach growled in approval.I pushed open the heavy double doors.Lucian was already there, seated

Chapter: Chapter 49
Lucian’s POVI pushed through the restaurant doors just as the crowd gathered.The place had gone from quiet elegance to chaos in minutes. Humans clustered around a table near the center, voices overlapping in panic. My eyes found Elara immediately — she was kneeling on the floor, holding a small child in her arms, her face pale but determined.I rushed to her side, heart slamming against my ribs. I dropped to one knee and gently helped her up, one arm around her waist to steady her. The little girl was breathing again, color returning to her cheeks, but Elara looked shaken.Women in the crowd were visibly fawning over me — whispers, wide eyes, a few even biting their lips as they stared. I didn’t care. My focus was only on Elara.The mother of the child rushed forward, tears streaming down her face. “Thank you so much for saving my baby,” she sobbed, clutching Elara’s hand. “She’s allergic to chocolate. I only left her for a minute…”I wondered what she meant by “saved,” but right no

Chapter: Chapter 48
Elara’s POV We spoke in soft voices, sipping wine and enjoying the evening. The restaurant hummed with quiet conversation around us, but it felt like we were the only two people in the room. Lucian’s hand rested on the table, fingers occasionally brushing mine. Every time they did, warmth spread through me. We talked about silly things — the way the lanterns outside looked like floating stars, how the human waiters moved so gracefully, how the food tasted like magic even though it was just steak and sauce. For a few precious minutes, the palace, the curse, Darius, Liora — all of it felt far away. Then Lucian’s expression shifted. His eyes unfocused for a second, the way they did when someone mind-linked him. They barely did that in the palace since everyone was always in the same place. He squeezed my hand gently. “I need to take care of something, it won't take time I promise. I’ll be right back.” I nodded, understanding. Talking to them here would make him look crazy to the h

Chapter: Chapter 47
Elara’s POVI had just finished the last bite of breakfast when the maid knocked and stepped in, carrying a large silk bag.“The king had this dress custom-made for you, my lady,” she said with a bright smile. “For your date this afternoon.”I froze mid-sip of tea. “Date?”She nodded, eyes sparkling with excitement. “Yes, my lady. You’re going on a date. Outside the palace.”Outside the palace.The words hit me like a spark. I had barely left these walls since Lucian brought me here. Now we were going on an actual date? My heart did a ridiculous flip. I was suddenly counting every minute until it was time to leave, pacing my room, trying on shoes, changing my hairstyle three times, and smiling at myself in the mirror like an idiot.When the clock finally struck the hour, I took a deep breath and headed for the grand staircase.Lucian was already waiting at the bottom.The moment he saw me, his golden eyes locked on me like I was the only thing in the entire palace. He stared as if I w

Chapter: Chapter 46
Lucian’s POVI could barely sleep the entire night.Every time I closed my eyes I saw Elara’s face — flushed, lips swollen from our kiss, eyes wide with surprise and want. Then the memory of her words would crash in. She had been mated to Darius first. He had rejected her. Liora had tried to have her killed. The anger in my chest refused to settle, twisting and burning until the first light of dawn crept through the windows.I woke up feeling tired, the kind of bone-deep exhaustion that no amount of rest could fix. I hadn’t had a good night’s sleep since the day Darius walked into my palace unannounced. I dragged myself out of bed, washed up quickly with cold water to shock my system awake, and headed straight to my study.The moment I sat down, one of the head servants knocked and entered, bowing low.“Good morning, my lord. Everything is set for your date with Lady Elara this afternoon. We’ve also delivered the custom-made dress you requested for her.”I blinked. “Date?”“Yes, my lo
