When My Mate Chose Another, the Lycan King Chose Me

When My Mate Chose Another, the Lycan King Chose Me

I thought Jace was it for me. My best friend. My first love. My mate. He promised me prom night. Promised me forever. But all it took was one moment— For everything to fall apart. Rejected and broken, I was still forced to serve as the maid nobody noticed. Not even the boy who once swore he loved me. How stupid was I… To think I could ever be enough for the new Alpha. But Fate? She doesn’t knock. She kicks the damn door down. "— and you, gather your things, you're coming with me!" The Lycan King said, his eyes locked on mine. Cold and frightening like the stories that were being told of him. He didn’t even blink. Why me? I was merely doing my maid duties, serving the Lycan King who was being hosted by Alpha Jace. How did I become the subject of their conversation? How did I go from Jace’s nothing— To the Lycan King’s next target? What now, oh Goddess? From heartbreak to something worse? Or maybe… just maybe… something I never saw coming.

Chapter: 86: Leadership
Natasha’s POVMy palms had grown clammy, though the room wasn’t hot. The silence between us pressed against me like stone, and I wanted nothing more than a second, just one, to breathe and clear my head.“Your Majesty,” I started, my voice thinner than I intended, “perhaps I should go and change first. I’m not exactly dressed for… for something like this.”His gaze flicked briefly to my gown. My strap sleeves suddenly felt like chains on my shoulders, too bare, too open, as though the fabric that had seemed perfectly fine a moment ago was now scandalous.“There will be no need for that,” he said flatly.I shifted on my feet. “It’s just—this is a strap-hand gown. I thought perhaps—”“If you find it comfortable enough to walk around in,” he cut me off, his tone steady, “then why does it matter now?”His eyes moved then, and I felt them travel. Not a careless glance. Not one of those dismissive looks he often gave, skimming over things as though they hardly mattered. This one lingered.I

Chapter: 85: Council Meeting
Natasha’s POV“Mom, at least eat something, please.”I pushed the bowl a little closer to her, the steam rising in soft curls from the porridge the maid had just brought. It smelt warm, faintly sweet, something that should have tempted her, but she only shifted on the bed and turned her face away.“I’m not hungry,” she muttered, her voice hoarse, carrying the same resistance it had carried for the past week.I sat on the edge of the mattress, looking at her, fighting the urge to snap. My patience had been stretched so thin that I felt it vibrating in me like a thread about to break. But this was my mother. I couldn’t break.“If you don’t eat, how then do you expect to get better?” I tried again, softer this time, almost pleading. “Your body needs food, you’ve been like this for days. Please, Mom.”Her eyes lifted to mine then, tired but sharp, the frustration there cutting deeper than I expected. “Food is not the solution to my problem, Natasha.”The words hit me like a weight. I look

Chapter: 84: Re-announce
Lucien’s POVThe night had been long, longer than any council meeting I had ever sat through, longer than the endless hours of writing decrees or listening to voices drone about problems they could never fix. The darkness itself had become a restless companion, refusing to grant me the mercy of sleep.I lay there, eyes fixed on the ceiling, listening to the faint hum of the wind as it clawed against the edges of the palace walls. The candles had burned out long ago, yet the night carried enough light from the moon to etch shadows across the chamber. They twisted, stretched, and bent like they had a mind of their own, reminding me of every thought I was trying to push away but couldn’t.Yesterday’s scene replayed without pause. Natasha’s face when she looked at me. Her wide eyes, her fidgeting hands, the way her words broke before they even left her lips. She had been scared of my voice, not of Damon. And that disturbed me more than anything Damon could have said.I had not meant to ra

Chapter: 83: Finished man
Lucien’s POVThe papers in front of me blurred until they became nothing more than smudges of ink. I had been trying to go through them since morning, the usual council requests, the endless signatures, repairs that needed immediate approval, names of men who demanded an audience they hadn’t earned. My desk had become a battlefield of parchments, yet my focus broke with the vibration of my phone.I reached for it without thought, intending to dismiss whatever it was, but when the screen lit up, my hand froze. Gavril.The message was short, sharp, not one of his usual detailed reports. Just a photograph. Natasha and Damon standing together. Her posture rigid, his expression leaning too close to her comfort. And below it, only a line: I don’t know what Damon is planning now.My heart gave a heavy thud, and before I realized what I was doing, I had pushed my chair back so hard it scraped the floor. The council documents scattered, ignored. Nothing mattered. I was already moving, abandoni

Chapter: 82: Can never be trusted
Gavril’s POVThe King’s voice still lingered in my ears as I stepped out of his study. His orders were clear—he wanted me to oversee the work being done on the southern wing, where repairs had slowed after the last storm. Lucien had that way of speaking that left no room for debate, no gap for hesitation. He trusted me, and that trust was heavier than any chain. I carried it everywhere, in the way I walked, the way I stood, even in the way others looked at me when I passed.I left the study, nodding briefly to the guards stationed along the hall, and descended the steps that led out into the courtyard. The sun was warm but not harsh, sitting lazily in the sky as if it too had grown used to the rhythms of the palace. The driver was already waiting by the car, the engine humming low, the door held open for me.I was halfway to it when movement caught my eye.At first it was nothing unusual—just two figures standing further along the terrace, their voices low, their heads tilted toward e

Chapter: 81: Ladies First
Natasha’s POVMy fingers hovered over the knob, though I never touched it. The knock still echoed inside me, stirring an unease I couldn’t quite shake off. My phone was warm in my hand, but Lani’s voice had already faded into nothing. The line was still alive, her muffled words somewhere in the background, but I couldn’t register them anymore. My entire focus was on the door and the presence standing behind it. Damon.I drew in a shallow breath, my throat tight. My voice wavered as I spoke, low and sharp enough to sound guarded. “What do you want from me?”For a moment, there was nothing. Just silence, broken only by the faint hum of air passing through the hall. Then his voice came, steady, warm in that way he always managed to make it, like he was speaking to calm a child rather than a woman caught between dread and suspicion.“I just wanted to talk,” he said. “It’s harmless, Natasha. That’s all. I don’t know what Lucien might have filled your head with, but I’m not your enemy. I wo

Lycan King's Rebel Bride

Lycan King's Rebel Bride

My heart felt like it had been ripped from my chest, my world shattered into a million and one pieces. I couldn’t breathe, couldn’t move, couldn’t speak. All I could do was stare, my eyes fixed on the unreasonable scene before me. “L...Lucia...” my father stuttered, his face flushed with embarrassment and guilt as he immediately lifted his underwear. “It’s not what it seems...” But I didn’t want to hear it. I didn’t want to hear their excuses. “Lucia!” Beta Mario called out, his heart pounding heavily as he swallowed a heavy lump. “Mate?” I said and a pained chuckle escaped my lips. Goddess! How could you let this realisation come to me now— my cheating asshole boyfriend is— my mate. My lifelong wish had come to pass… I found my mate. And he happened to be my childhood lover, same guy who had been my boyfriend for two years. It should have been fun, this should have been a happy moment. But there was a painful twist. My dad and my mate were secret lovers, or would I rather say ‘fuck buddies’. What could be worse than this? I turned, ready to run off. My heart was already split and I knew that any more second there could make me even more furious, but there was still one thing I was yet to do. “One more thing...” “No, please Lucia... you can’t take decisions in haste. I swear I really like you...” “I Lucia Herod of Crescent land pack reject you Beta Mario of Crescent land pack.” I'm glad I rejected him— that cheating asshole. But then, the goddess wasn't done with her surprises. "I want you to become my wife!" The Lycan King said, causing everyone's jaw to drop.

Chapter: 54: You're not alone
LuciaI clung to her shoulders longer than I should have, the tears wetting the fabric of her gown before I finally pulled away. My face felt warm, raw from crying, and when I looked at her, she still had that calm expression, like she had expected this all along.“I don’t know how to explain it,” I said quietly, my voice almost breaking again. “I’m happy, I’m grateful, but sometimes I feel like I’m just here alone, watching everything move too fast, and I don’t even know if I’m doing the right thing. It’s like one wrong step and I’ll lose all of it. I don’t have anyone here except Rhein, and even with him I don’t want to appear weak. But inside, I am weak. I’m tired, and I’m scared, and sometimes I just want to run back to where life was simple.”She listened without interruption, her head tilted slightly, her hands folded on her lap as though she was storing every word carefully. Her silence gave me courage to continue.“I don’t have my family, my friends, nothing familiar anymore.

Chapter: 53: Three weeks
LuciaWe went into the room and directly to our chairs. I didn't know where I had gotten the energy from but I was all smiles to everyone, greeting politely.This time instead of Rhein's father to be seated with Victoria just as usual, he was with Alexia instead. Victoria was seated a seat away from Alexia.Maybe it was a routine although I had never seen both of them sitting away from each other. It made me wonder if they had an argument.I couldn't know anyway since he looked pretty normal and Victoria seemed to be all smiles as usual but maybe I should have realized then. I couldn't be blamed for not though.Rhein helped pull my chair out and waited until I had sat down to sit down himself. It was when we had settled that food was usually served.The servants went round placing the dishes properly so we could all take whatever portion we wanted. I was happy with this style, it let me have enough.I dished my food, watching as Rhein did his and as usual we waited until he ate before

Chapter: 52: Kiss Him
LuciaWe went back to the office, riding up and going our separate ways. It felt like a weird separation from someone you loved. It was funny.As soon as I was in the office, I sat down and just a few minutes later, Beth walked in with two files in her hands. Work again.“Good afternoon ma'am, these documents were sent to you to modify the contract between the Mills and us" she handed it to me.I picked it up, “Thank you Beth. I'll do just do that” I waited until she had left the room to open the document. I began to read through again.There had been some minor details I had missed earlier on and now it gave me the chance to fix it. It felt as I read through the clauses like they had wanted to cheat us.Some had been ridiculously tightened and given to just benefit them, no thought for us. It made me wonder if I should do the same.Make them to our benefit or make them equal like most of ours had been. I thought about it for a while about what Rhein would think and did just that.Whe

Chapter: 51: Why do I do this to myself?
LuciaHe smiled at me as if he could sense something. “I can clearly see you don't want to talk about it though. So I don't know" he sounded hesitant.That was the first time I had heard him hesitant, ever and it made me feel somehow. I knew that this conversation would have to be held.I could stall for as long as I could but it would have to happen. Unless somehow he ended the wedding or I successfully ran away, it would happen.So I released a breath, accepting my faith that this conversation would happen today, even if my mind fought to run away.“We'll talk about it today but I would like to eat first" I told him which was true. I could feel my stomach rumble, I would have to eat before discussing something so important.He shrugged, his face had brightened a little that we would still talk about it, “That's fine with me. We can do it after eating" he agreed.I felt grateful for that. I needed to gather my wits for it and prepare my mind to start on the path of acceptance. All th

Chapter: 50: Keep it together
LuciaFinally it seemed Rhein was done with what he had been doing. He called in his assistant who took what he had been working with before leaving.He came up to me smiling. “I'm sorry about the delay, beautiful, some urgent work had to be done first” he gave me his hand to take which I did.Then he took us to the lift and while we were on our way down to the garage he asked some questions about work. How it had been so far.“Has anybody been a trouble? Any unnecessary entry to your office?” He asked. He sounded concerned, he wasn't just asking for the sake of it.I shrugged, I didn't have much to say about it. Work had been what work usually is, stressful and hectic. I ended each day tired but somehow yearning for the next one.“Well, it's been good I guess. We've been busy, and nobody is being a trouble. It's all perfect actually” I told him and of course I had excepted the incident with John.We both know that had been unfortunate but strangely, so far we had not had any other is

Chapter: 49: Jeremiah Mills
LuciaI took a sip of water, clearing my throat and after taking a deep breath I began to tell him the dream. I told him everything I remembered.I told him from waking up feeling like someone was trying to break into the room, I wasn't wrong and so before they were inside, I went to hide somewhere.I hid in the wardrobe, watched this person move around the room and then stop. Then he turned around and opened the wardrobe door.Even as I told the story, I was very far from where it had happened but the fear was still there. I could feel my heart racing as I remembered it again.He stood in front of me, I couldn't see his face because there wasn't anything there but I told Rhein what the man had said. About the truth that I had no idea about.I knew the next thing that happened was a surprise, suddenly he was dead and on the floor, I never got to see the face of who killed him either.Suddenly I wasn't there anymore. I was in a while different house, I was in this huge room where there
