Chapter: Chapter 173Sloane’s POV“Nolan has got to be kidding me!”Olivia’s voice came from behind me, loud enough to make me turn slightly from the window and look at her.She had been complaining for what felt like forever, and honestly, I was beginning to get tired of hearing the same thing over and over again. But I understood why she was upset. I was upset too.Nolan had changed.That was the only way I could describe it.Ever since Ronnie returned to the palace, my son had been behaving like a completely different person, even worse than the first time she had come. The same man who had once been so cold towards marriage and women was suddenly going out of his way to make sure she was comfortable.He had defended her in front of the entire family, exposed what Olivia and I had done, threatened us, and now he was practically treating Ronnie like she was the most precious thing in the world.The transition is so crazy.“This Ronnie girl has him trapped in her webs,” Olivia continued, pacing around my

Chapter: Chapter 172Ronnie’s POVI stared at Reuben for another few seconds, still trying to understand why he was standing outside my door with a gift bag in his hand.Of all the people I expected to see after hearing that knock, Reuben was definitely not one of them.“What are you doing here?” I finally asked, my eyes moving from his face to the gift bag and then back to his face again.He seemed to hesitate for a moment before speaking.“Calm down, I just want to...”“I’m not interested in whatever reason you're here,” I cut him off immediately.I had already had enough of awkward encounters in this palace, and I honestly wasn't in the mood to add another one to the list.I reached for the door, ready to shut it in his face, but before I could do that, Reuben pushed it back with his hand.I immediately looked at him in disbelief.“Excuse me?”“You have to give me a chance and listen to me,” he said.I stared at him as though he had suddenly grown another head.“You're not entitled to my time, Reuben.”

Chapter: Chapter 171Ronnie’s POVWhen I got to the dining room, I greeted everyone all at once and sat down without even waiting for their reply.Then my eyes found their way to Nolan's seat almost instinctively, but his usual seat was empty.I guess he is back to his unending Kingly duties.Yesterday must have just been a welcome parade after all.I almost smiled at the thought.Of course.What else had I expected?Nolan was the King. He had an entire kingdom to run, which meant he couldn't spend every waking moment following me around or making sure I was comfortable.As much as I enjoyed that version of him, I knew it wasn't realistic.I took my seat and began eating breakfast with the rest of his family.For a while, everything seemed normal enough.Well, normal by palace standards.I focused on my food and tried not to pay too much attention to everyone around the table. I had already learned that the less I involved myself in the strange atmosphere of this family, the better.Besides, the baby in m

Chapter: Chapter 170Ronnie's POVNolan’s hands paused for a moment after my question, and I couldn't help but watch the expression that slowly appeared on his face. There was something almost amusing about seeing him look shy.This was Nolan we were talking about, the same man who could make an entire room go silent simply by walking into it, the same man who could make even the strongest Lycans think twice before speaking.Yet here he was, kneeling in front of me and looking almost embarrassed because I had asked him to show me what else he had learned.He let out a quiet breath, and that small smile remained on his lips.“Let's take it one at a time,” he said.I raised my brows.He continued rubbing my foot. “If I show you everything I learned tonight, you might start thinking I spent my entire day studying pregnancy care.”I couldn't help the little laugh that escaped me. “Didn't you?”His eyes met mine, and for a second, he looked like he was actually considering how to answer that.“Maybe,” he admit

Chapter: Chapter 169Ronnie’s POVDinner ended in painful silence.After Nolan’s speech, Olivia barely touched her food. I didn’t intend to watch her, but somehow I couldn’t just ignore the embarrassment in her eyes.I wanted to meet her gaze so badly, but she refused to lift her head the whole time.Madame Sloane on the other hand, surprised me.She cleared her plate completely.I watched her eat like she hadn’t had food in days, and for some reason, that unsettled me.For a moment, when Nolan began to speak, I thought she had actually gotten scared or something, but the way her emotions changed quickly, like she was already plotting something else right there in front of us all.I tried to act tough, and maybe shake off the thought, but it just wasn’t going.I had already made a promise to myself before coming here that I was leaving this place alive and unharmed. I don’t know how that will happen, but I know it will, and I’m willing to go to any lengths to make sure they don’t get under my skin as they

Chapter: Chapter 168Nolan’s POV“I can't express enough how ashamed I am of you both,” I continued, allowing my eyes to move from Olivia to my mother.Neither of them said anything.The entire dining room had gone silent, and I could feel Ronita's eyes on me from where she sat.“You are members of the Royal Lycan family. You both carry the name of this family, yet you chose to use your positions and influence to harm someone who was supposed to be a part of this family.” Olivia's expression darkened, but she remained quiet.“I have known what you both did for a while now, and with the expression on everyone's face, I see that everyone knew as well.”Mom tried to put up that carefree look once again, but I had already seen through it.Ronita turned toward me as well, surprise flashing across her face.I could understand why.She probably couldn't understand why I had remained silent despite knowing.I leaned back in my chair. “I was waiting for the right moment,” I continued. “And I wanted Ronita to be

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: 91: Do you like it?LuciaMom walked me up to him, giving me a kiss on my cheeks before she let my hand go softly into his. He took my hands and helped me come up to the altar.He smiled directly at me, murmuring something so low that if I hadn't been able to read his lips I wouldn't have known what he said.“You look breathtaking" he had said.I wasn't able to make a reply because the priest began to speak. I noticed then that both Dylan and Andrew were behind Rhein, his groomsmen.“Welcome to the marriage and holy matrimony of both Lucia and Rhein, the king and queen of this kingdom. As we bring these two together, we pray that the goddess bless them both” he started.There was a small agreement behind us and he continued. He stated the standard vows of his, making sure we repeated after him.After that, to seal the deal, he

Chapter: 90: You are in LoveLuciaBack at the hotel, mom and I reached faster than Daisy so she met us up at the room. Mom and I had begun to arrange everything we had bought when she arrived.“I just had to check into my room, a floor below yours, so I'm here to help for tonight" she announced when she waltzed in and took a seat.Mom and I exchanged a glance, shaking our heads at her happiness. It felt like she was the one getting married instead. There wasn't much to do except arrange and make sure we did everything in time.She was the one who had the plans for how the day would go. She had it on her tablet which she opened to show the both of us.“It's quite easy actually. But then you're the bride, you'll be spending the whole day doing this” Daisy told me as we both read through it.The first thing on the list was going to the church where Rhein wou

Mom gave me one last hug before letting me go.Daisy gave one last look at the dress before asking me to go ahead. I went to the changing room and put on the second gown.This one was one of my favorites and I was happy to put it on. I knew it would be exactly what I was looking for. The girl that had followed me helped me zip up.When she was finished, I looked in the mirror, seeing how elegant the dress made me look and loving it so much. It was flowing, the way I had always thought my wedding dress would be.I went out back into the main room where mom and Daisy were. They both let a gasp out when they saw what I had on. Mom stood up to come closer.Daisy grinned, “I don't even think you need to try anything else. Seriously, this is too beautiful." She gus

Chapter: 88: Everything was ChangingLuciaOnce they were there. He left and I rushed to go eat. The food was good but somehow, I couldn't stop thinking about the food at home.It was strange how I was missing it. When I finished eating, I took the trolley with the dirty plates to the front of the lift, covering it so the dirty plates weren't on display.I went back to the bed, picking my phone up so I could call mom. She was late again and we had so much to do today, we couldn't waste time.My phone had just sent a call across when I heard a beep. I looked around, wanting to see what it was. It was from the phone in the room.I went to it and picked it up, “Good morning ma'am. Someone says she's here to see you." It was the receptionist's voice and she gave me mom's name.I told her she was my mother, to let her come up with a card of hers. After that the call ended and I st

Chapter: 87: In LoveLuciaWe went down and into the dining room to get dinner. I felt a happiness I didn't think I would in anticipation for the day that was coming.It was strange because I had spent so long running away and wishing it didn't happen. It had been a while but slowly, I had been getting over it.“Or maybe you're just in love" Lara told me, she had been pushing that idea on me for a while but I refused to believe it.I wasn't in love, I was just comfortable with him. I had learnt so much about him that he and I had grown a closeness I hadn't thought possible.Dinner was great, the food tasted a little different, in a good way because it was beyond delicious. Maybe it was a gift for the upcoming wedding.When we finished eating, I left the room much earlier than everyone else. I needed to pack because tomorrow morning, I would be leaving here.

Chapter: 86: At least FiveLuciaA week had gone by since the press conference and since then, everything had died out. The media had run with a story against Alpha Herod.It took intervention from Rhein for them to let it go and for everything to slowly die down. Now, we were able to move freely without any scrutiny.The wedding was in two days and that meant that I had to leave the house by morning. I was supposed to go back to the pack house but I couldn't go any more.I couldn't go back to where Alpha Herod was, I knew he would be far from welcoming. Rhein hadn't said how he had gotten the evidence to the public but I'm sure he had guessed it.He wasn't stupid and he knew the only possible way would have to be someone who knew the INS and outs of the house quite well.Mom had contacted me a few days ago to talk about it.

Chapter: 178: Who is he?Natasha’s POV“We really shouldn’t be doing this,” he said the moment I reached him.I kept walking. “You didn’t drag me out here to scold me.”He followed, steps echoing. “I dragged you out here because I’ve been trying to tell you this for the past month, but you just wouldn’t hear it.”“I heard you,” I said. “I just didn’t believe you.”“That’s because Lucien trained you not to.”I stopped, then turned slowly.“Be careful.”“I am being careful,” Damon snapped. “With you. With the truth. With the fact that if I don’t say this now, I may not get another chance.”I studied his face.“You think Lucien brainwashed me,” I said flatly.“I know he did,” Damon replied.“What do you mean?” I asked as we moved further into the dark stairwell.“You asked me once,” Damon continued, “why Korah changed so fast. Why did she give up fighting?My chest tightened.“You said grief,” I replied.“That’s what you were led to believe,” Damon said. “It wasn’t grief. It was suppression.”The stairs ended at

Chapter: 177: RebellionLucien’s POVI tried to tell myself it wasn’t about me.But the truth didn’t care what I told myself.Every line she presented to the Elders felt like an indictment. Every woman she spoke for sounded like an echo of her. And every silence she left where my name should have been was louder than any accusation ever could.She didn’t need to say Lucien.I heard it anyway.The Women who reasonated with her in the Kingdom praised her restraint. Her growth. Her vision. They whispered about how impressive she’d become.The blueprint she submitted earlier kept replaying in my mind through a dinner I barely tasted. By nightfall, I couldn’t hold back my restlessness.I went to her room.I didn’t knock.She was seated at the desk near the window, hair loose down her back, sleeves pushed up, fingers moving quickly across the keys of her laptop.She didn’t look up when I entered.“You’re busy,” I said.“Mmm,” she replied, eyes still locked on the screen.That sound... It was casual, dismissive eve

Chapter: 176: Why here?Natasha’s POVThroughout the past month, since I got my wolf, I've been learning new things about myself every single day.And one of my biggest lessons was that I wasn’t fragile anymore.The palace still carried that familiar chill. Everything remained the same. Same rules dressed up as tradition. But I moved differently inside it now. I noticed things I used to excuse. I noticed how the dreams of many died because they didn't have the power to push for it, either suppressed by their mates or even the restrictions of the Kingdom.I started taking notes. This wasn't something to be treated as less.To think I'm also a victim.At first, it was just a page. Anonymously written. Words typed late at night when sleep refused to come. Stories I’d heard but never seen written down. Women whose goals were being strangled by partners who loved them “too much.” Women trapped by absence, by lack of access, by systems that punished vision instead of nurturing it.I called it The Unbroken Line.B

Chapter: 175: The ConceptMichelle’s POVNo matter how many nights I spent here, the air never got better. Still the same suffocating atmosphere. The walls were cracked, the roof half-collapsed in places, and moonlight slipped through some of the holes. Perfect.Dead places were always safest. No one would think to find me here. No one would even think humanity could survive it here.Michelle’s dead.That was the story now.And stories, when told well, had a way of becoming truth.My phone vibrated.I didn’t rush to answer. I already knew who it was, by the way.When I finally picked it up, I didn’t bother softening my voice. “Go on, what do you have?”Hadrek exhaled on the other end.“She has started her search,” he said.I leaned back against the wall, the cold penetrating through the fabric. “Natasha.”“Yes.”“How far?” I asked.“She knows Korah was her sister,” he replied. “She knows their mom fled with Korah during the war. She knows the maid took her in the chaos. She’s been digging through sealed record

And spoke only when I felt like. But my mind stayed elsewhere.When the meeting finally came to an end, I left without ceremony. I didn’t need any of that right now. I just needed air.My route home cut straight through Abram’s pack territory.I hadn’t planned to see him, but now that I’m around, it’s better to stop by. He was the only one I could talk to after all.“Stop here!” I said to the driver before pulling out my phone.He answered on the third ring.“What a surprise, the Lycan King is calling,” Abram said, light-toned.“Are you in town?” I asked directly.“Yes.”“Are you free?”A pause. Then, “For you? Or for the mess you’ve made?” He said knowingly.Abram knew me too well. And of course, he must have heard, cause rumours fly so fast around here.I exhaled through my nose. “Both.”“I’m available,” he said. “Meet me at the usual spot.”The
