Chapter: 33: Because of her Ashley’s POVThe banging on my door wasn’t normal. It wasn’t the kind of knock you ignore and hope they go away. It was loud, urgent, like they were trying to break the door down with their fists. I froze where I stood, eyes locked on the wooden frame as it shuddered again under another hit. My heart was already beating faster, thudding in my chest like a warning I didn’t want to hear.I walked towards it, slowly, my hands smoothing down my dress like that could somehow settle the unease crawling up my spine. By the time I reached the door, I had already braced myself for bad news. But I wasn’t prepared for how cold their eyes would be.Two guards stood there, dressed in their usual dark uniforms, but tonight, they looked different. Like they weren’t here to escort. They were here to collect.“His Majesty wants to see you,” one of them said. No greeting. No explanation. Just that. Like it was enough.It wasn’t.I tried to hold his gaze, tried to find something in his face that would t

Chapter: 32: It was CraftedLucien’s POVThe morning came too fast, dragging me out of the restless haze of sleep full of nightmares I barely survived.Standing in front of the mirror, I buttoned up a clean shirt, the fabric crisp and cold against my skin, but it didn’t make me feel fresh. The heaviness from last night clung to me, like smoke that refused to clear. My reflection stared back, hollow-eyed, jaw tight. I ran a hand through my hair, forcing it into place, fixing my face into something that resembled control. A King didn’t get the luxury of showing cracks. A King didn’t get to look like he spent the night wrestling shadows.The halls were silent as I walked, but it wasn’t peace. It was the kind of quiet that watched you, waiting for you to slip. My boots echoed against the polished stone, each step deliberate, measured. The guards along the way didn’t move, didn’t speak, but their eyes followed. I kept my back straight, my expression unreadable, even as my mind wasn’t. Natasha. Her fever. The way her

Chapter: 31: SlippingLucien's POVThe room was quiet now. Not the tense kind of quiet that suffocates you, but a stillness that wrapped itself around everything, soft and slow. Natasha was asleep, her breathing calm, her lips slightly parted as if even in her dreams she needed to fight for air. The fever had eased. Her skin wasn’t as flushed, but there was a frailty in her face that hadn’t been there before. Like a candle that had flickered too long against the wind.I sat beside her, elbows on my knees, my eyes tracing the curve of her cheek, the way her lashes trembled now and then. My fingers moved before I knew it, brushing a loose strand of hair from her forehead. I didn’t plan to touch her. But once I did, I couldn’t stop. My hand stayed there, fingertips gliding lightly through her hair, slow and steady.My wolf stirred.“What now, Lucien? You’re becoming soft for a woman.”I didn’t answer.“You pretend she’s nothing but a pawn in your little play, but look at you.”He wasn’t wrong. But he wasn’t r

Chapter: 30: I'll be hereNatasha’s POV“What are you doing out of bed?”His voice wasn’t loud. It didn’t need to be. The weight in it was enough to make me freeze. But his arms—his arms didn’t match the sharpness of his words. They were steady, firm and careful, like he knew I was slipping and had no intention of letting me fall. His hand settled against my waist, not gripping, but anchoring me. Like if he took it away, I’d drift off.The cold that had been crawling under my skin was losing space. It was being pushed out by something warmer now. Something fierce. But it wasn’t normal. It wasn’t the kind of fever that came with coughs and aches. This felt different. Like my body was burning from the inside out, but I wasn’t sure if it was from sickness or from him.“What’s wrong with me?” I barely heard my own words, but he did.“You’re burning up,” King Lucien said, his tone sharp but not frantic. He caught my wrist, his thumb pressing lightly, testing the heat, and something in his expression hardened. “The

Chapter: 29: PneumoniaNatasha’s POVThe night was colder than it should be. Not outside. Inside me. Like the water had carved a home beneath my skin and refused to leave. I was shivering again. My body trembling in slow, uneven waves that no amount of blankets could stop. I had felt this before. The coughs that wouldn’t stop. The fever that came and went like it had a mind of its own. Pneumonia. My mother had battled it with me so many times that I lost count. She used to say my lungs were too proud to ask for help until they were drowning. And now, they were doing it again.But she wasn’t here now.The thick robe wrapped around me felt useless. I had thrown it over two other layers of clothes, but still, the cold found its way in. It felt like I was sitting outside, in the rain, with nothing but my own breath to keep me alive. My hands were shaking as I reached for the bell rope beside the bed. It took more strength than I had to pull it, but I did. The chime echoed through the room, soft but urgent, lik

Chapter: 28: Release the maidLucien's POV I didn’t say anything. I just stood there, staring at her like the answer I needed was somewhere buried in her face. But it wasn’t. It was in her words, in that tired, breaking voice that didn’t have the strength to fight but still kept pushing. She wasn’t begging me with noise. She was doing it with a quiet that felt heavier than any scream. And that silence... it scraped at something deep, something I’d buried a long time ago and never wanted to dig up.“Fine.” The word slipped out of me, but it didn’t feel like a decision. It felt like surrender. My throat tightened when I said it, like the weight of it was too much. “She’s free. No punishment.”Natasha’s head moved, barely. A slow nod, but it was the way her shoulders eased just a little that got to me. Like she’d been holding a boulder in her chest, and now it was shifting, even if it hadn’t been lifted. She didn’t smile. She didn’t thank me. She just sank back into those hospital pillows like every breath was an ef

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: Guilt Lucia’s POVThe door closed with a soft thud behind me, but the tension in the air didn’t go anywhere. My bare feet padded against the cold hallway floor as Alpha Herod and Beta Mario walked ahead of me, not saying a word, not even sparing me a glance. Their silence made everything feel heavier, like something thick was stuck in my throat and I couldn't swallow it down. My father's gait was brisk, like a man desperate to escape the shame of what he had just witnessed. Mario’s, though... his steps were slower, more uncertain. And even though he hadn't said a word yet, I could feel his eyes on me. That jealous, conflicted gaze of his burned into my skin like a quiet brand.We turned a corner and stopped abruptly. My father finally glanced back at me, his lips pressed into a tight line like he was forcing himself not to yell. But why the fuck should I care about him yelling? He’d done far worse than this for all I care."Mario," he said, his voice firm but flat. "Make sure she gets to he

Chapter: Damn I'm trippingLucia’s POVThe events of the night made it so uneasy for me to sleep, the more I tried, the more I failed miserably. I envisioned myself and what my life would probably turn into after I got married to him.I mean, this is a man who divorced and dethroned two queens already. I ain't gonna be the third, No way!Yeah, I know he saved me...And I know he's handsome as hell.A man like him is every woman's dream man.I couldn’t stop thinking about his muscular body, light grey eyes, hair that always looks messy yet cute, his voice, his lips...Damn! I'm tripping.This is not happening! I couldn't have caught feelings for him already.I threw myself off the bed, picking up a coat from the hanger. "What the heck are you doing looking out the window?" Lara, my wolf questioned like it wasn't obvious."I can't let his crazy charm lure me into marrying him!"I threw one leg out the window and then the other. The night was silent and cold, but I knew there were guards mounting several strategic

Chapter: Marry me! Lucia's POV "All rise!" Rhein commanded. This wasn't the voice he used to talk to me the other day. He sounded too Romantic then, but now his tone was the most intimidating thing I had ever heard. I can't believe I spent a night with the man I hated and feared the most. Not like he had wronged me in any way, I just hated his ruthless nature and then those stories about how he treats women like they are worth nothing. I've always wanted to meet him just to correct that motion, but here I was cuddled up in his arm, unable to say a thing. "Welcome, Your Majesty!" Alpha Herod's voice scared me out of my frozen state. "I see that you two already met." "Ki..King Rhein..." I stuttered, trying to pull his hands off my waist.He simply ignored my plea as he continued with Alpha Herod. "Not our first meeting," he explained and I could feel everyone's eyes on me. Oh, Goddess!

Chapter: Lycan KingLucia's POV It's been two weeks since the crazy incident and I have remained totally silent about the Alpha and Beta's secret affair. Of course, my mom kept pleading to know what happened that night, but I had to come up with lies upon lies to feed her. She didn't believe me at first cause she knew how much I loved Mario and that I would never want to do anything to hurt him. But after she noticed the strained relationship between Mario and me, she had no other choice than to believe my half true story. I told her that I caught Mario cheating and I got so upset about it and hooked up with someone else while I was drunk. Of course, she was disappointed in me. She was one of the biggest shippers of LUMAR, (Lucia and Mario). And she was really heartbroken when we broke up."Lucia, I think you and Mario are still very much in love with each other. Why not you two act like adults and talk things through?" Mom suggested, making the food in my mouth instantly turn sour. I picked up a nap

Chapter: Stranger Lucia's POV I expected to find myself in the afterlife or maybe if I was lucky enough, I could be in the hospital. But what I didn't expect was to wake up in bed, beside a shirtless man. I blinked severally, rubbing my eyes to make sure I wasn't in a dream or even imagining things. But then, this was as real as the hair on my head.I scrambled to sit up, my heart racing. The stranger's chest was bare, but I was more concerned about my own attire.I looked down and gasped. I was wearing a big white button shirt, and my clothes were nowhere to be seen.What the fuck happened last night? I'm sure I was drowning just then, but now —this? How do they even relate? Did I really drown, or was I just imagining the whole thing in my drunken state? My memory was failing me big time, not to mention the serious throbbing in my head. I threw off the covers and swung my legs over the side of the bed. As much as I wanted to know what happened between us, I also knew that I had to get out of there

But the visitor for room 109 already arrived.”My heart skipped a beat. “Are you sure , please check your records again. My boyfriend and I are supposed to meet here.”“Ma, I’m sure of what I’m saying.” She confirmed. I felt a pang of worry and confusion. Why would Mario have someone else in the room and still call for me?“Isn’t it Beta Mario in room 109?”“Yes ma’am, he is the one,” she confirmed, making me grow even more anxious.Is this some kind of late birthday surprise or what? I thought, almost feeling excited. But then again, none of it felt right.“I’m sorry miss, but I think there is some kind of mix-up. He wouldn’t have asked me to come if he was going to meet with some other person.” I queried. “I advise that you give him a call...” The lady suggested calmly.
