CLAIMED BY THE DEMON KING: DARK ROMANCE

CLAIMED BY THE DEMON KING: DARK ROMANCE

She thought she had everything. A fated mate. A future. A home. Until it all came crashing down. He came back with another woman. A baby in her belly. And just like that, Elara was nothing. Framed for a crime she didn't commit, the only end for her was death. But fate isn’t done with her yet. A stranger steps out of the shadows. Not just any man—the Lycan King. Feared. Hated. Untouchable. Part demon. Part vampire. Part wolf. He doesn't save her, he claims her. Offers her a deal she can’t afford to refuse: Be his Luna for one year. She should’ve said no. But he’s cold fire and temptation wrapped in darkness. And when he touches her, it’s not just her body that trembles—it’s her soul. Now, she’s trapped between two monsters: The mate who wants her back… And the king who never plans to let her go. 🔥 Sneak Peek – Elara’s POV: “Tell me to stop,” he growled, his breath hot against my lips. “One-word, little wolf, and I’ll Walk away.” My heart pounded so hard I thought it might crack my ribs. I should say it. I should. But then he touched me—just a whisper of skin against skin—and the air vanished from my lungs. My mind screamed this is a mistake. But my body… my body had already decided. I leaned in, drawn to him like gravity itself had shifted. “I hate you,” I breathed, and it came out too soft, too broken. He gave me a look that made my knees weak. Dangerous. Hungry. “Then hate me,” he murmured, brushing his lips over mine, “while I make you forget every reason you ever did.”

Chapter: 218| The Night Before Everything Changes
~Elara~I don't turn to him, rather I keep watching the guards. “You came back late.”“I tried to wrap things early, but some things are out of my control.”“Things are always within your control Dravon.” I reply.I can hear the sound of the cloak dropping on the couch. “I apologize for coming back late, My Queen.”Mia's words return back to my head. Indeed I've been living in delusion. I'm actively trying to put aside the impending storm coming, going about my daily activities while beneath me I know a war is coming. Not like the one in Winterwood, but a more serious one. Whoever is backing Anita is powerful and dangerous, the battle will be bloody. I'm trying to live in the moment, but my heart is not still.“You’re quiet.” Dravon says, breaking through my thoughts.“Am I?”“Yes, you are. Did something happen?” He asks, stepping closer. I can feel his presence before his hand even reaches me. It's a ripple in the air, that primal energy that always reminds me who he truly is. Not ju

Chapter: 217| His Gaze, My weakness
ELARA'S POVI sit on Mia's bed as I watch her show me a night gown. The silk nightgown is beautiful on her, subtly accentuating her curves. I raise my thumb in approval.“Finally!” She exhales. “It was beginning to feel like I have nothing good in my closet.”“This one is nice.” I say honestly. “I’m guessing you're spending the night in Thorne's room?”She nods, then slightly frowns. “Is this weird? Talking about your Beta in this regard?” “You mean knowing my Beta's personal life through you?” I confirm.She nods again. I think about it for a while before responding. “I don't think it's weird. Thorne and I have a cool relationship and you're my friend. We did talk about Dravon the same way, did it feel weird?”“No, it just felt like two friends gisting.”“Same here.”She proceeds to hang the remaining nightgown in the closet.“Mia,” I call out. “I have a very intrusive question.”“As long as you're not asking for a very detailed breakdown of Thorne's and I act behind closed doors,

Chapter: 218| Never Underestimate Mia
~Mia~But here I am, almost sweating under the early morning sun, staring at Thorne like he’s lost his mind. The reality that I'm about to face a very experienced fighter is dawning on me. His muscles flex under the sun, almost making me drool but also bringing reality that Thorne is no ordinary werewolf. He's the Beta for a reason.‎‎“Don’t look at me like that,” he says, arms crossed, smirking. “You agreed to this.”‎‎“I agreed to learn, not die,” I shoot back. My voice echoes across the training ground, and a few warriors passing by chuckle under their breath.‎‎Thorne grins wider. “Learning and dying are sometimes cousins, sweetheart.”‎‎I roll my eyes. “If I die, I’m haunting you.”‎‎“I’d like to see you try.” He tosses me his wooden sword. I nearly drop it, it’s heavier than it looks. “Use that, I'll use your former sword.”My fingers wrap awkwardly around the smooth wood as he circles me like a predator assessing prey.‎‎His dark hair glints in the light, his shoulders b

Chapter: 217| Lesson One- Don't get Distracted
MIA'S POVThe sun sits low over the Demon’s Pack training field, spilling gold across the sand and steel. With recent events, I've thought it wise to learn how to fight. In the Lycan kingdom, self defense is the best defense. Anything can happen at any time and it's best to be prepared. ‎I spot Thorne, he's already here.‎ Of course he is. He just stands there, tall, broad shoulders gleaming beneath the faint light, dark hair damp with the morning mist as he instructs a person that's training. As though sensing me, he tilts his head to me, his eyes finding mine, sharp and unreadable. And I swear my heart skips. “Why do you keep standing there? Come in.” Thorne says through the mate link.I look around and realize that I'm still at the entrance. I quickly walk towards Thorne, while still trying to take in the new environment.‎‎“You’re late,” he says, voice rough but annoyingly calm.‎‎“I’m five minutes early,” I mutter, glancing at the sky.‎‎“Then you’re ten minutes late,” he r

Chapter: 216| Try Harder Anita
~Elara~‎‎‎‎I rise slowly, scanning the shadows. A flicker catches my eye, movement along the rafters.‎‎I don’t think. I move.‎‎A knife whistles through the air where my head was seconds ago, embedding itself into the stone.‎‎“Coward!” I snarl.‎‎A shadow leaps from the beams above. I spin, claws half-shifted, catching the glint of metal as another dagger slashes for my throat. I duck, twist, and slam my elbow into the attacker’s ribs. The impact sends him stumbling, but he recovers fast, rolling and coming up with both blades drawn.‎‎He’s tall, cloaked and masked. His scent, human mixed with wolfsbane. My eyes narrow.‎‎“Who sent you?” I growl.‎‎He doesn’t answer. He lunges.‎‎The first blade grazes my arm. Pain burns sharp and hot, but I barely feel it. Ney surges forward, power rolling through my veins. I grab his wrist mid-swing, twist hard, and hear the satisfying crack of bone. He shouts in pain.‎‎With one motion, I kick his legs out from under him and pin him to

Chapter: 215| Dart in the Dark
~Elara~I turn to Dravon to protest but he stops me. “You've been awake before dawn planning this feast. You need sleep, the rest of us will handle it.”His voice is stern, carrying a commanding tone. At this point I know it's useless arguing with him so I agree. “Fine, I'll be a dutiful wife and obey my husband.”“I'll join you later.” He says before leaving with everyone.Mia comes to stand by my side, as we both watch them split up to search the palace. “You're not really going to be a dutiful wife, are you?”I smirk. “I should put more effort in my acting, you're reading me too well.”“I'll be waiting for you in your former room. If it passes an hour, I'm alerting the King.”“Deal!”“And for the love of the Goddess, don't put yourself in harm way else the King will have my head. He entrusted you into my hands.”“Stop worrying Mia.” I wave her off. “I'm trained and even if anything happens, Thorne won't allow Dravon to touch you.”She sighs. “Good luck.”“I won't be needing it, rat

Chapter: 021| THE PUNISHMENT KISS
~RAVENNA~“Excuse me?” I stared at him in shock, wondering if I heard him wrong.He ignored me, leaving the room.When he returned, he had a first aid box in hand.“Remove your clothes.” He said again, gently lowering the box on the nightstand.I swallowed. “That won’t be necessary, King Kaelion. I can take care of myself.”His eyes met mine then, cold, searching. For a moment, I almost forgot to breathe.“Don’t make me repeat myself.” he whispered calmly.I looked away, “I don’t want you to touch me. et me a doctor instead.”He didn’t respond, instead, he sat down before me.Then he dragged me closer. I gasped in shock when his cold hand brushed against my skin.Then he began unbuttoning my shirt.My eyes widened and I tried to turn away from him.“What are you—?”He glared at me sharply, and that was enough to shut me up.He unbuttoned my shirt and then turning me around as though to avoid seeing my front, he slowly slid the shirt off my shoulder.I winced in pain.Then, slowly, he

Chapter: 020| The PRICE OF DEFIANCE
~RAVENNA~For some strange reason, the anger in his voice made me move away from Luis immediately.I could feel Luis tense up beside me.King Kaelion stepped further into the room, every step feeling like a storm was brewing.But recalling how maltreated and starved Luis was, my anger took over.I got up to meet him halfway, anger filling my heart.“Why is he bound like that? What did he ever do to you for you to starve and treat him badly?” I asked in anger.He paused in front of me, eyes hard, then grabbed my shoulders roughly.“I get to ask the questions. Why are you here? Who let you in here?”I scoffed, but before I could respond two women rushed forward—Madame Brown and the other malicious lady.“My king,” they said, bowing.I stared at them in confusion. Why were they even here to begin with?“I am sorry for this. My second-in-command overheard her planning to come here to free the prisoner. By the time I arrived, it was already too late.” Madame Brown said in a rush.I frowne

Chapter: 019| THE CHAINS BETWEEN US
~RAVENNA~“Rave… is that you?” The voice was painfully familiar.I turned slowly to get a better view at the figure.“Luis?” I muttered painfully. I couldn’t be sure.“Yes,” he sounded like he was smiling now. “It’s me, Ravenna.”I let out a choked sound of joy and rushed toward him. But when I saw him, I stopped.He was bound, his two hands stretched on both sides with chains, and his legs bound together.I swallowed the painful lump forming in my throat.“Who did this to you?” I managed, my voice betraying my fake composure.Luis look pale—cold, maybe. And the thought of him being kept in this dark room, while I was given the luxury of a bed and warm room, made me feel even more terribly guilty.He smiled warmly at me. “I am fine now, Princess. I am so happy to see you are well.”I could see his face clearly now. I rushed forward to him, tugging roughly at the chains to free him.“Princess, stop—” he called out weakly, but that only made me want to get him out of there.I pulled, th

Chapter: 018| The Betrayal of the King’s Order
~RAVENNA~My whole body was practically shaking. I had never been overworked in my entire life.From washing countless plates and utensils used by the warriors to mopping the entire hall. I needed rest more than anything now.But that wish was cut short when one of the girls came and dumped a heavy box beside me.She wore an arrogant expression. “Madame Brown ordered you to take these documents to the storage in the other building.”I stared at the heavy boxes, anger rushing through me.“Why do I have to do it? Shouldn’t this be done by men?”She scoffed, rolling her eyes. “Our men are busy, so the task falls to you. Do you defy Madame Brown’s orders?I clenched my fist on both sides, biting hard on my lower lip.“I’ve had enough of your bullying, all of you. I won’t do it. You may as well kill me right here.”I couldn’t stop the angry words from flowing out. But she leaned in, a smirk on her face.“Let me tell you, she has the king’s order to punish you if you disobey.”I frowned,

Chapter: 017| THE SHADOW BRIDE'S WARNING
~KING KAELION~The courtroom felt too tight and uncomfortable. With the elders gathered all around, I felt everything but calm at this time.“My king, we have to act fast. Last night, there was a strange attack in our subsidiaries. Several deaths were recorded.” Elder Joan, the head of the elders reported, his eyes grim with fear.I pursed my lips. “What happened?”The elders exchanged glances, uneasy ones.“No one knows for sure, my king,” Elder Hans responded lowly, “it just happened at the same time during midnight. It was like a plague.”Gasps echoed through the room.My stomach clenched uneasily. What was really going on?“Investigate it further, I need answers by sunset.”They all nodded, but Elder Joan kept mute.“King Kaelion,” he began after a while, “we were wondering if this is one of the works of the shadow bride.”Everyone fell silent, some exchanging glances.“What if she has begun her mission? We will all be in danger if we wait any longer.”I swallowed hard, thinking h

Chapter: 016| THE NIGHT THE SHADOW CHOOSE ME
~RAVENNA~I stood by the roadside, clutching my jacket tightly to keep out the cold.Dad stood not far away with another man; they were speaking in hushed tones.I couldn’t understand how my 18th birthday we had all waited for, suddenly turned into horror.“No one must know about this.” Dad sounded scared for the first time since I knew him.He looked at me then, his eyes sad, misty, like he had a lot he wanted to say but dare not say it.“Dad, is everything all right?” I asked. But I knew everything was not.He forced a smile onto his face. Suddenly, he seemed to have aged a lot.He caressed my cheeks softly. “Everything is fine, Rave. But I need you to go with this uncle for now. Stay there until I send for you.”I frowned, the fear in my heart. I stole a glance at the man who stood waiting, almost impatiently.“Dad, I don’t want to go with him. I want to stay with you.” The thought of being away from him was a nightmare.Pain flashed through dad’s eyes for a moment. He pulled me in
