Rejecting Fate: Lycan Prince’s Mate
Meeting one’s mate was supposed to be a wonderful thing
For Aurora however, it was hate at first sight.
Attending Twilight Academy had always been her dream. But that dream quickly turns into a nightmare when she discovers she’s mated to the Lycan Prince. Theron Grey.
Theron Grey would stop at nothing to make her life miserable. His life's mission, have her kicked out of Twilight Academy.
Lycan’s, dominant ones with royal bloodlines, don’t get mated to mutts.
Or do they?
Because Theron, it seemed, was the exception.

******
“Mates?” I whispered.
It couldn’t be.
“You’re my mate?” I asked again, my voice barely above a whisper.
His expression darkened more.
“Don’t ever say those words again,” he growled.
Being his mate was disgraceful.
A fact he was desperate to keep hidden.
What exactly was the Moon Goddess high on when she made this ridiculous match?!
“Well then, reject me!” I snapped. I was tired of being treated like I was nothing.
“I can’t! That’s the thing!” he roared back.
For some odd reason, rejection wasn’t an option.
We were stuck with each other.
Now, I was trapped in a school with a mate who loathed my very existence and wanted me gone.
“This school cannot contain the both of us
Leave!” he ordered.
I met his gaze head-on. “Over my dead body.”
********
Aurora had been shielded her whole life like a secret. But Twilight Academy would force her to uncover the truth
She belonged here more than she ever imagined.
And beneath Theron’s cold, cruel exterior, maybe there was something else. A reason he needed her gone.
Maybe pushing her away wasn’t just about who she was.
Maybe it was about what he was afraid would be uncovered.

Chapter: Chapter 19: Mates? Theron Mate?My senses were pricked at an attention as I sniffed through the air. A strange anxiety had been gnawing at me for days. Plus I hadn’t slept much. Couldn’t.I was anxious and restless. “She will come at twilight.” that was what was expected. The pattern that had been that way for years. And I hoped it would be wrong. But here we were.The moon had begun its slow rise, and suddenly the air changed.Different.Sharper.Alive.I resisted the overwhelming urge to shift. My body was on edge, my Lycan prowling beneath my skin, ears twitching, teeth bared, demanding to find her.She was here. I slipped away from the others, who thought they were being subtle. They weren’t. I knew I was being monitored. At first, I had dreaded this moment. Hated it and didn't want it. The idea of being bound to someone, of fate deciding for me. But now, now that the scent was closer...Excitement throbbed low in my chest.She’d be perfect, I imagined.Refined. Powerful.Like the current L

Chapter: Chapter 18: First shift Arabella “Well, kids,” the instructor began, her tone warm but no-nonsense, “it’s completely normal that some of you may not find your mates right away.”“The next Lunar Moon rises tomorrow night,” she continued, her eyes sweeping across the large hall where we were all gathered. “And I know the anticipation is high, but I want to remind you, it affects everyone differently.”We were seated in the grand multipurpose hall—shifters and healers alike, lined in orderly rows. It was one of the few classes we all took together, meant to unify us before the biggest spiritual event of our lives. A general orientation, but also a mental and emotional preparation.Tomorrow night was when the moon would hang highest and fullest in the sky, pulsing with energy that reached into our very bones. I chewed lightly on my lip as I stared down at my hands. By this time tomorrow, I would no longer just be me. I would be we.I’d finally meet my wolf. Hopefully. This was basically my last year. If I d

Chapter: Chapter 17: Hunts Squad Invitation Aurora “I wonder why those girls were sent away,” Meghan said. “Yes, immediate expulsion,” Sarah added with a scowl. “And now we’re being breathed down on by forces we can’t even see.”Annabelle bit into her food calmly, her eyes thoughtful.“They were found snooping around the West Wing section,” she said, like she’d been waiting for the question.“Last night.”I paused. “The West Wing?”She nodded. “The two girls that were sent off. That’s where they were caught.”My eyebrows shot up.“That’s one of the places that’s strictly off-limits, right?”“But isn’t that kind of harsh?” I asked slowly, trying to understand. “I mean… maybe they got curious or just—wandered?”Sarah nodded beside me. “Exactly. We’ve all been tempted to poke around a bit, especially with how mysterious this place is.”“Oh no, no, no,” Annabelle said, her voice dropping a little. “It’s not just what they did. It's the question of why. " The table went quiet..Annabelle let out a slow breath. “Twilight is in po

Chapter: Chapter 16:Watched Aurora I finally reached my dorm much later, after classes and dinner. Every step up the staircase felt heavier than the last, the elevators, for some weird reason were out of service.At the door of I room, I paused.Something felt off. Wrong.The hairs on my neck stood up as I pushed the door open.Inside, the room was a mess. My things were scattered, overturned, tossed aside without care. Matrons moved about briskly, rifling through drawers, upending clothes, searching for… something.“Hey!” I called out, frozen in the doorway. My voice was more confused than angry.What were they looking for?They didn’t answer. They didn’t even stop.Before I could demand an explanation, Mirabelle appeared behind me, her heels clicking softly against the floor.“Oh no. It’s happening again,” she said under her breath, almost like she wasn’t surprised.“Come on.” She gently took my arm and began to lead me away from the chaos.“You didn’t bring anything… odd, did you?” she asked quietly. “Nothi

Chapter: Chapter 15: Hypocrite TheronThe king sat at the head, the queen beside him, looking every bit the polished, regal pair they wanted the world to believe they were. I could imagine we looked like a perfect family, framed neatly among the other important guests who had come for the dinner and the interview.I understood exactly what this was.A well crafted illusion.Strength. Warmth. Family and unity. A tight-knit royal circle, sharing a meal while the world watched.Perfection. I scowled under my breath. I took small, barely-there bites of my food, unsure if I could swallow past the bile clawing its way up my throat. My chest felt tight as my gaze swept across the room, catching every perfectly timed smile. “And about the benefit program,” someone said lightly from across the table, “I heard new attendees arrived at the academy just this week.”“Ah, yes,” the king replied with a pleasant nod. “A promising batch this year.”“It’s a beautiful thing, what you’ve done,” the woman continued. “Keeping the prog

Chapter: Chapter 14: Disgust Aurora"It was our king,” Chrissy said flatly. “Well… former king, technically.”“She had a baby… and died?” Sarah murmured, frowning. “That’s tragic.”I nodded in agreement. “Is it though?” Chrissy asked, arching a brow.Her voice turned sharp, bitter. “She wasn’t even a proper werewolf. Some kind of freak—something no one could ever really explain.”Confusion rippled across the room.“Don't you guys get it? She wasn’t fully wolf. Not a shifter either. Just… something else.” Chrissy’s lip curled. “An abomination.”The word dropped like a stone.“Imagine—just imagine—if she really was pregnant, and that thing survived. If it’s still out there somewhere…” Chrissy’s voice trembled now, but with rage, not fear. “Our world would fall apart.”“But it was just a baby,” someone whispered. “Innocent…”“Innocent?” Chrissy let out a cold laugh. “That child was never meant to exist. She and the king were never meant to meet.”“She was rumored to be part hunter and also a witch. A weird mutation

Devil's Bidding
He should have been satisfied.
Lucas had dismantled the Montage Empire, reduced its legacy to ash. Arabella Montage had nothing left: no power, no family, no future. Just her name and a heartbeat he hadn’t yet taken.
But when he saw her on that auction stage, trembling under harsh lights, something inside him shifted.
She was being sold like livestock. A girl once untouchable, now displayed for the highest bidder.
He was the architect of her ruin.
And still... he bought her.
She was the last remaining piece of the empire he had destroyed. And he needed to possess it. To possess her. To own the symbol of everything he had conquered. To fill the aching void that victory hadn't satisfied.
She used to be a free bird. Until he clipped her wings.
Now, he would remake her. Mold her. Give her purpose again, just so he could tear it all away.
Break her.
Destroy her, all over again.
He didn’t want her dead. Anything was acceptable, as long as her heart kept beating.
To her, he’s just another powerful man playing God.
But one thing becomes terrifyingly clear:
Lucas will keep her heart beating, just so he can be the one to crush it. Again and again

Chapter: Chapter 83: Tense Arabella That evening, Lucas was there at dinner.He had kept his promise, and the moment I walked in and saw him, a smile tugged at my lips.I sat quietly by myself, simply basking in his presence.Would he demand I come sit on his thighs tonight? I wondered.Those little gestures he once used to make me uncomfortable had become the very things I craved.I hadn’t said a word, hadn’t asked, hadn’t even dared to glance at his lap—but somehow Lucas knew. He always knew. His chair shifted back with a soft scrape, his gaze locking on me. Then, with a quiet authority that curled heat low in my stomach, he beckoned.“Come,” he said simply.I froze, lips parting in shock, my heart slamming against my ribs. Had he really…?Before I could think, my legs carried me to him, and I settled onto his lap. His arm wrapped around my waist almost absently, anchoring me there, while he continued eating as though nothing were out of the ordinary.I tried to hide it, but I liked it. God, I liked it too m

Chapter: Chapter 82: ProgressArabella. True to his words, Lucas was right there when I woke up.My eyes blinked open slowly, the blur of sleep clearing until his face came into focus—handsome in a way that made my chest tighten. His jaw was sharp, lips pressed into a faint line, eyes steady even in the quiet of morning. For a moment, it almost didn’t feel real, that someone like him could be sitting there, watching over me.It was clear—I had Stockholm.I pushed the thought away as quickly as it came, the same way I always shoved away anything too dark, too heavy. I tried not to think about the other nights… about Don Antonio. All of it I kept buried, shoved into a deep, dark corner where I didn’t have to face it. So far, it was working.Mona would have scolded me if she saw me like this. She always said my habit of living in a bubble, pretending things weren’t as bad as they were, was annoying. That I avoided reality instead of confronting it.Mona. The thought of her made my heart twist. A pang of longing, of

Chapter: Chapter 81: Undone Her body twisted against the sheets, small whimpers slipping from her throat, fragile and broken. The dream had her caught in its cruel grip, dragging her back into that night. Her hands clawed at the blanket, nails scraping, as though fighting shadows only she could see.“No… stop…” her voice cracked, strangled and breathless, trapped between sleep and memory.Lucas’s brow furrowed where he sat at the edge of the bed. He had carried her here after she’d collapsed in his arms, tucked her beneath the covers with a care she hadn’t even noticed. But now he leaned forward, his hand settling firm and steady against her shoulder.“Arabella.” His voice cut through—low, commanding, a tether pulling her back.For a split second, the weight of his hand blurred with the phantom one that had once pinned her down. Her body tensed, recoiling from the echo of it.Her eyes flew open. Terror clung to them—wild, unmoored, her chest heaving as though she expected someone else’s face to be hovering above

Chapter: Chapter 80: Exclusively Lucas's “You said I’m exclusively meant for you,” she whispered, her voice breaking on the words.“It hurt when you did that, Lucas.” Her tone was small, fragile, the kind that slipped through the cracks of his defenses. The horror of what she’d endured seemed to have stripped everything else away, leaving her with one truth—that she would rather belong to him than to anyone else.He probably wanted that once. To dominate her. To own her, completely. To mold her into something that was his and his alone. But hearing it now, hearing her say it with those tear-filled eyes, it sounded wrong.“But Lucas…” she whispered at last, her voice so faint he almost missed it. Her lashes trembled, and tears clung stubbornly to them. “Do you hate me?”The question pierced deeper than she could have known. She had felt such searing hate from Don Antonio—cruel, calculated, unrelenting. And Lucas was tied to him, wasn’t he? Didn’t that mean Lucas shared the same disdain? She had wondered, at one point, if he

Chapter: Chapter 79: Breaking Point Arabella was still sitting in her dark room when Lucas found her.She hadn’t moved. Not for hours.Her hands kept brushing absently against the bruises on her knee as though the motion alone could soothe her.With Don Antonio, she had experienced what true hatred was.Hatred so sharp, so cold, it seemed to seep into her bones and root itself there.It froze her from the inside out.For the first time in a long time, she felt paralyzing fear.Not the kind that faded when the danger passed—no, this one lingered, coiling through her veins, making her whole body tremble in a way she couldn’t control.His words still echoed. They wouldn’t leave.Have you ever watched your whole family burn alive right in front of you? I have. He had asked her that. His mouth close to her ear. His breath crawling down her skin.Her body had gone rigid then.And before she could even breathe again, he leaned closer.Want me to give you a little snippet of what it feels like? What it smells like? The things

Chapter: Chapter 78: The VisitArabella was sitting there—small, hunched, and almost invisible—when Lucas arrived.Her eyes were hollow, her hair falling in tangled strands around her face, her hands limp in her lap.Her eyes weren’t blank by accident. They were hollow because of him.Lucas’s jaw tightened, the muscles ticking beneath his skin. “Antonio.”He had hurried home the moment word reached him that the older man had appeared in his house unannounced. The sight before him confirmed every dread that had clawed at his chest on the way.His gaze swept over Arabella, sharp and searching. She was disheveled, shaken—but whole. Still physically untouched.“She’s fine,” Don Antonio said with chilling calm, as though sensing Lucas’s inspection. He leaned back slightly in his chair, his hands folded over the head of his cane. “I didn’t tear her limb from limb.” A smile crept across his mouth, unhurried, amused. “She’s quite an interesting young lady.”Lucas’s breath came sharp through his nose, his body vibrating wit

The Lycan’s Captive
Emma would never be good enough for the pack. She knew that.
But none of that mattered as long as she had her mate, Anthony, by her side. Until he betrayed her, announcing another woman as his mate instead.
Branded as a raving madwoman, scorned, Emma finally realizes the truth. She was never more than a tool to them, doomed to spend her life slaving away for an ungrateful pack that would never accept or acknowledge her.
So, she does what any crazy woman would.
***** She sets the pack on fire.*****
If Anthony was going to reject her, he might as well reject everything that came with her.
But leaving isn’t that simple. The pack refuses to let her go, hunting her down with orders to kill.
That night, her world ends. She thinks she died.
Until she opens her eyes... and finds herself in an even bigger nightmare.
And she thinks for a moment “maybe dying would have been better.“
She had fallen straight into the trap of the dreaded fourth Lycan prince.
Now, she is his property, one he has no intention of letting go.
This strange man with an even stranger aura leaves her questioning everything she thought she knew.
Why does he act as if he’s known her forever? And why is he so obsessed with keeping her by his side—like she belongs to him?
Worse, she soon finds herself caught in a dangerous game between the other Lycan princes.
There, in the arms of the Lycan, she begins to question everything she thought she knew about herself… and her fate.

Chapter: Chapter 4: Run!EmmaPoor, poor little girl who cannot move an inch because her bones have failed her. Oh! What would she do now that she can’t move on her own? She’s totally at our mercy isn’t she? She needs our help to clean herself up, walk, talk, or even eat. There’s no way she will be able to escape here. Right? I chuckled at the thought. Right. That’s exactly what I wanted them to think, and I made sure I displayed every necessary theatric to make sure I didn’t show any sign of strength or ability. That was the only way I could make sure they wouldn’t be wary of me. So, I remained curled up in my bed like a sick little thing, too weak to move, too many broken bones to put up a fight. Every time they came to check up on me, I made sure to leave the impression that I had accepted that whatever fate awaited me was the best choice for me.As if. As an orphan, the most important attribute I had was the ability to run when needed. I displayed it at my pack, how much more the enemy’s territory? Lu

Chapter: Chapter 3: DreadEMMA My body felt hot—too hot. A sharp headache hit me immediately I dared to part my eyelids. My gaze rested on a ceiling. Not familiar, but that wasn’t the reason my heart skipped ten beats at once, nor was it the reason my throat suddenly went dry when the rays of sunlight from the window kissed my face. Only one question continued to echo in my mind. Was this the afterlife? The room was so pretty, I was convinced it would was. It had to be. I had never heard of anyone surviving such poison, especially not a wolfless one like me.The last thing I remembered was hitting the water and, feeling myself slowly let go of my consciousness. I couldn’t keep much of what happened after in my mind, but I knew when my body kissed the sea. I knew I didn’t fight when water engulfed my body. My heart was thumping, loudly, I was alive?How was this even possible? I survived that hit? Roots mixed with nightshade? That was deadly for a wolf—how much more for someone like me, who didn’t even

Chapter: Chapter 2. Is this how I die?EMMA I nodded, a small smile plastered on my lips. I understood it all very well. Looking away from Anthony, I turned to the crowd and quietly studied the faces that looked down on me with a sneer.These people whose lives I had saved at different times…Them, or one of their loved ones, kids, or mates, held no pity for me in their cruel gazes. Only discontent, only disdain. Crazy bitch! Someone yelled out. Ungrateful lots. All of them! They felt what was happening was well deserved, that I couldn't be their Luna despite everything. Anthony would never accept me. The worst that would happen was me being forced to remain here as the pack’s healer while someone else ruled by his side as his mate and Luna. I understood how this would play out. How they expected my life to go on from this point, I would live the rest of my life in contempt continuing as the pack scorned healer. I threw my head backwards as laughter erupted from my throat. Dumb, silly girl. How could someone like me

Chapter: Chapter 1. UnwantedEMMAThe night that should have been the best night of my life almost sent me back to the goddess. I was so excited that day; tonight would be the night I would officially be announced as Anthony's mate and Luna. I could barely keep my excitement within me waltzing and humming to myself that evening. As I walked past the hall, a group of high-ranking she wolves brushed shoulders with me."Out of the way, nitwit." The blonde one hollered at me shoving me. I muttered an apology as I pushed past them. No one could ruin my mood. I was the happiest I had ever been in my entire life. "I wonder what Anthony sees in her." Another one snickered. "She thinks she'll become Luna and get to boss us around. She’s delusional," Their laughter echoed through the halls even as the distance between us grew. They didn't care that I could hear them. In fact, they wanted me to."Just wait till tonight,” I said to myself.“You'll see, I will become your Luna." I wanted to yell back at them to gloat, bu
