Chapter: CHAPTER 200Asher’s POVThe day Dante walked across the stage and accepted his diploma, I swear my chest swelled more than his mother’s.He’d done it. Despite everything, the bullying, the cruelty, the way the world tried to make him feel small, he had risen above it.His eyes found mine in the crowd, and in that moment, I saw more than the shy boy I once met. I saw the man who would one day rule beside me.Afterward, when the cheers died down and the caps had been tossed into the air, he came straight to me. No hesitation, no glance over his shoulder.Just him, my mate, my equal. He didn’t even ask. He just laced his fingers through mine, in front of everyone, and said, “I’m ready to come home.”And so he did.***The first weeks in the pack house were…a storm. Whispers followed him in every hall. Some bowed too quickly, others refused to bow at all. Some called him Asher’s boy, others called him dangerous.But then came the training.When Dante shifted fully for the first time before the counci

Chapter: CHAPTER 199Dante’s POVLife in the pack house was even more weird than the first few weeks I spent here. When Asher insisted I moved in after finals, I thought maybe, just maybe, it would be easier now. And that killing Elijah had put an end to the whispers, the suspicion. That the pack would see me as Asher’s mate and nothing else.But I was wrong.Everywhere I went, I still felt their eyes on me. Some were cautious, some hostile, most just…uncertain. I wasn’t one of them. Not born here. Not bonded the way they all believed fated mates should be. I was an outsider who had somehow caught the Alpha’s heart, and no one knew what to do with that.One night, I overheard two Omegas in the kitchen.“He can’t be his mate,” one hissed, voice low but sharp. “The Moon Goddess doesn’t make mistakes, but this… this feels like one.”“Keep your voice down,” the other muttered. “If the Alpha hears… ”“He should hear! How can we follow someone who mates outside the bond? It’s unnatural.”I didn’t wait to hea

Chapter: CHAPTER 198Dante’s POVThe first time Asher showed up at school, I wanted the ground to swallow me whole.It was a Tuesday morning, gray and dull, and I was half-asleep walking toward the gates when the roar of an engine shattered the air. Heads whipped toward the street as a sleek car slid into view, the kind of luxury that did not belong anywhere near our cracked pavement and rusting bikes.The car stopped directly in front of me. The door swung open, and there he was.Asher.Dressed in black, his injuries barely visible beneath his clothes. His eyes locked onto me, burning with that unwavering intensity I’d come to know too well.Murmurs spread like wildfire. “Who is that?” “Damn, look at the car.” “Is that Asher, damn! and he is waiting for Dante?”My stomach flipped.“Asher,” I hissed under my breath, stepping toward him before anyone else could. “What the hell are you doing here?”He leaned casually against the car, his grin smug, confident. “Picking you up.”I wanted to strangle him. “Yo

Chapter: CHAPTER 197Dante’s POVI’d never seen so much blood on Asher's body before. Asher was limp in the arms of the guards as they carried him back to the pack house, his fur matted crimson, his breathing shallow. I walked beside them, numb, every step felt like an eternity. My hands shook, and I kept them clenched tight at my sides so no one would see. I had to hold it together. But inside, I was unraveling.I could not erase the image of him collapsing, and I could not forget the way his eyes dimmed right after Elijah’s body fell still. For a moment, I had thought I’d lost him. The terror of that thought had not left me, and I wasn’t sure it ever would.“Set him down,” the healer ordered as we reached the infirmary. The guards obeyed, lowering Asher onto the wide bed. His wolf form shimmered, breaking apart until his human body lay bloodied and broken before us.I sucked in a shaky breath. Cuts tore jagged lines across his chest and arms, bruises darkened his skin, and his side looked caved in.

Chapter: CHAPTER 196Asher’s POVThe smoke curled thick in the air, swallowing the trees, twisting them into what looked like monstrous shadows.My lungs burned with every breath I drew. Here, in the heart of the forest, it was me, Elijah, and the weight of everything that had led us to this moment.He stood across from me, his eyes glowing a sickening gold in the smoke. Anna trembled behind him, she was struggling to stay alive and it was too evident, her face streaked with ash and terror.Elijah had dragged her here like some trophy. My chest ached when I saw her flinch as his claws hovered close to her throat.“This has no reason to drag on beyond now Lowell,” Elijah snarled, his voice cutting through the night like broken glass. “Let's go one on one. You versus me, Asher. The great Alpha against an aspiring one, a fight to the death. Whoever lives, rules.”I felt Dante’s hand brush against my arm, the faintest touch grounding me in the storm. His voice cracked when he whispered, “Don’t. Please, Ashe

Chapter: CHAPTER 195Dante’s POVThe night had been quiet before it broke. I was sitting near the porch steps of the pack house, thinking of how strange it still felt to call this land ours, when the silence fractured with a crack like splitting bone. Flames licked the edge of the woods before I even understood what I was seeing. One tree lit, then there was another, and soon the horizon was smeared with angry red.The first scream tore through the darkness, a sound that made every wolf jerk to attention. I stood frozen for a heartbeat, watching shadows dart between the trees, figures moving too fast, too fluid to be anything human. It was not a hunt. It was more of an invasion.“Asher!” I called out, spinning toward the door. He was already there, pushing it open, his eyes sharp, his body half-shifted as if instinct had dragged the wolf out before thought could catch up.“Elijah,” he said flatly, as though the name itself explained everything. His gaze raked over me once, firm and unyielding. “You are

Chapter: CHAPTER 90Velyana’s POV I heard Damien’s words, but my mind raced to my mate, so I sprinted in the direction that I had left him.Damien swore loudly behind me before he, too, ran in my direction. I don't know what that sound means, I don't care to know, I needed to see my mate safe and sound first.When I burst through the area that I had left him, I found him surrounded by the men who were training with him earlier. He looked shaken up, but somehow he was on his feet with one of the training sticks firmly clutched in his grip. I sighed in relief as I reached him.The circle resumed as I wrapped my arms around him. Bradley hugged me back almost immediately. Then he spoke.“I'm okay, they kept me safe, and I'll not sit by as anyone tries to snatch me from me," Bradley said to me in a low tone, and I nodded my head. He has never spoken to me with such confidence before. I liked it very much.Damien was at the door, scanning the place. Once his eyes landed on us, he gave a sharp nod before he tu

Chapter: CHAPTER 89Alpha Enzo’s POVIt was Darrell on the phone. The tension that filled my body instantly ebbed away. I know I was expecting some form of response from Athena, but something keeps telling me that the message was sent from the Lycan Alpha's phone.There was no need to face the man if I knew nothing about him.So I answered the call and waited for him to say whatever it is that he wanted to say.“Alpha! We have a major problem! Like, ‘royally screwed’ type of problem!" Darrell said as soon as I answered the call." What is it?” I asked him as I sat up. I didn't want to assume anything just yet.“I just left the isolation center, it's filling up fast and everything that the healer was holding on to keeping things afloat has all failed! Nothing is working! Three people have slipped into a coma since I got there an hour ago!" Darrell said to me and I sighed deeply.As if I needed the day to go anymore horribly.“How much time do I have before shit hits the roof?" I asked Darrell.“A week at

Chapter: CHAPTER 88Athena's POV“I wanted to, but something tells me that it is a bad idea," I said to Zephyr who laughed in his usual way.“You have a point, I'm only a lover in bed and not a lover in the training fields. Velyana will do a good job, but if you still need me all you have to do is ask. In case you haven't noticed, I'm not on the list of trainers," Zephyr said to me smugly. I rolled my eyes.“Yeah, you train lethal killing machines. I saw them the other day and it was clear that they weren't to be messed with," I said to Zephyr conversationally. His eyes darkened and a weariness overcame me.“You were looking at other men and talking about it?" Zephyr said to me and I felt the weariness grow. He wasn't going to hurt me, but I also wasn't sure what he was going to do to me to remind me who I belonged to.Zephyr yanked me into his arms and knocked the breath out of my lungs by kissing me deeply and shoving his hands into my pants. It didn't take long for everything about him to overshadow m

Chapter: CHAPTER 87Athena's POVIt was the evening of the next day that we decided to come out of the mating cabin. I was dreading the return to the pack. This place was a world of our own that I feared would shatter when it collided with the reality of our pack.“Hey, whatever happens, remember that you have me. Even if you don't feel it or don't see it. I am here for you all the time. If anything happens, I don't want to read your thoughts to find out, I want you to tell me,” Zephyr said to me and I nodded my head.When we drew close to the pack I tried to take my hand out of Zephyr's. He turned to look at me with a raised eyebrow.“The pack members will see," I said to him lamely. Zephyr turned to face me fully. At this time some pack members had seen us and more were gathering.“They will see the Alpha with his Luna who just returned from the mating cabin. There's nothing to hide here, love, they know it all and if precautions were not taken they would have heard it all as well," Zephyr said to me a

Chapter: CHAPTER 86Athena's POVI stirred the meal that I had woken up so hungry for in the pot. Zephyr was still fast asleep which I found really weird. Like he was currently in a deep sleep.I looked over my shoulders to see that he was still the way I left him an hour ago. Maybe it was because I placed the pillow that my head was on where he could grab it. But whatever the reason, I was just glad that he was sleeping like this.The mating rut had been everything that he said it would be and then some. I had a vague recollection of what transpired between us, and every memory was etched in my mind as something to not be discussed in public.The thought of it had me hit and bothered already.I gently and quietly began to plate the meal, wondering how I was going to wake Zephyr to eat. I hope he wakes up though, he looks like he was zapped of whatever energy it was that he had after the mating rut.I moved a little too quickly and caught myself from screaming. Parts of my body that I didn't know could h

Chapter: CHAPTER 85Ginny's POVI sighed with irritation as I sat in the hotel room waiting for my companion.Today was just a rotten day! Ugh!The keypad beeped before the door was opened and my companion came in. I sighed deeply, I needed this distraction badly.“Luna, you know better than to spring up meet ups like this. Alpha Enzo is obviously stressed with everything that is going on and he might have a need for me! We need to be careful!” Darrel Octavia said to me and I rolled my eyes.It's always the same nonsense from his mouth whenever I interrupt his evening activities.“Shut up and undress, I am quite mad as it is and I would hate to take it out on you in a way that wouldn't benefit either of us," I said to him as I took off my clothes. I was suddenly in need of a hot bath. Maybe he could wash my back while I was at it.I could hear him sighing from behind me but I could also hear his clothes being shrugged off his body.I turned around and fed my eyes on this beautiful male specimen in front o

That Was No Prince: She fooled the Lycanis
For twenty-four years, Alpha Draegon longed for a son, but the Moon Goddess had other plans. When his wife bore a daughter, he defied fate and raised her as a boy, hiding her true identity from the world.
On Valen’s eighteenth birthday, the feared Lycanis warriors descend upon their kingdom, demanding a male from every family—or war will follow. To protect her secret, Draegon prepares to offer himself in her place. But before dawn breaks, Valen is gone. She has surrendered herself to the Lycanis.
Taken to the High Dark Mountain—a cursed land where no man has ever survived—Valen learns the terrifying truth. The Lycanis are on the brink of extinction, and the men taken captive are meant for one thing: to breed. The strongest among them will become warriors, the weakest will become slaves. To her horror, Valen is both strong and dangerously beautiful, making her the most desired among the Lycanis females.
But one man’s attention is deadlier than all their King. A monstrous warrior feared by all, he chooses Valen as his personal guard, unwittingly drawn to the one person who holds his fate in her hands. Valen struggles to conceal the truth because he is bound by duty, tormented by forbidden dreams, and forced to endure his darkest indulgences.
Yet, secrets have a way of unraveling. And when war erupts, a single spear thrust reveals the one truth that could change everything—Valen is no man.
Now, the King must decide: will he cast her aside as a traitor, or will he claim the only soul that can soothe his madness?

Chapter: THE ENDWhat Valen met on her arrival was unexpected. The palace had become nothing but a shadow of itself. She transformed from her wolf form into her human form.She hoped that Rhydian would see her and recognize her. Multiple times she fell. She cried out for help but these werewolves and Lycanis were busy beating each other. The Lycanis were gaining the upper hand. They were tearing the werewolves, killing them like chickens. Every side she turned to, she couldn't see the light She cried her eyes out. Her screams were overpowered by the growls of war. "Please listen to me! Listen to me! You don't have to fight! The main aim was to solve this issue. We wanted to create an alliance. Let's stop fighting!" She shouted, but despite how loud her shouts were, they also affected her vocals; they wouldn't listen. She got into the palace with scratches, but there was no one inside the palace. It was totally empty. There were blood stains on the ground. She didn't know who it belonged to.

Chapter: A FEW HOURS EARLIER "Raphael." "It must be nice seeing me again." The man shrugged, "At least I think so. My dear foolish brother." Raphael was Rhydian's older brother, the one who had been cast out by their father. They were of the same father but different mothers, and Raphael had never once hidden the fact that he hated Rhydian so much. He had been after life and well-being right from childhood He pushed him into the water when their parents were looking. He sent snakes to his room and he got bitten by them when he was asleepDuring a fight practice, Raphael had once tried to strangle him, shouting that the palace and the Lycanis blood had no place for an imbecile like him. That he was a taint to their growth as Lycanis. All of his behaviors got to the King, and when he attained the age of eighteen and would not give up, he was banished, and the King passed on the title to him. Ever since then, he has been the King. He tried his best to look for his brother and reconcile with him becaus

Chapter: WAR "Thank you for keeping my secrets," Valen said to Star as they awkwardly met that evening. Star, after hearing the rumors about Valen's arrival quickly came over as soon as she could. "It was...it was the least I could do after what has happened between us. I wanted to speak with you the last time and tell you how sorry I was but by the time I came here, you were gone. I hated myself. I...For a few days, I couldn't behave like myself anymore. I hated that. I am so sorry, Valen. I feel so ashamed even imagining that we were once best friends. I wasn't there for you when you needed me. I didn't support you. I didn't..."Star began to sob. Valen pulled her in for a hug. "I understand you, Star. I have always understood your stand on this issue. I just thought that there could have been a better way to handle it than creating a scene or fighting like we did but I am glad that we are now on good terms with each other." "Does this mean that you have forgiven me?" "Of cou

Chapter: LEAVE THE THRONEUpon getting to the people, the fight ceased and the guards stepped away. "Oh, what a misfortune that has befallen the people. You even have your guards against us! Oh, the great Lycanis Kingdom has fallen. Waging war against its own people." The faint-looking man lamented. "My people, what is happening? Why the sudden gathering?" Rhydian asked gently. He had never had his people come over to him. Even if they did have a few problems that needed solutions, they sent representatives. They didn't come with the intention of waging war against him. "Who are you to go to the werewolves and beg?" Someone shouted. "How dare you even make decisions on our behalf, huh? You have been the king for so long, and now you're getting power drunk, isn't it?" The faint-looking man chuckled sarcastically. He was talking and behaving as if he had been intoxicated. "Watch the way you speak. This is the King. " "Hey, shut up!" The man rebutted Aldridge, "Who made him one? Who

Chapter: RHYDIAN'S BACKSTORY Knock. "Come in." Draegon's voice sounded, his voice a bit louder, complementing the chilled air surrounding the pack house. The door was pushed open and Valen showed herself. "Father." She called out softly. "Can I please speak with you?" "Valen, I am not in the mood to discuss this issue with you, okay?" Valen entered the room fully and closed the door. She played with her fingers behind her back as a way of relieving her tension. Draegon just finished cleaning up his wounds and was in the middle of tying his bandage. Valen moved closer to him and held his hand, stopping him from continuing with what he was doing. Draegon looked into her eyes. "Here, let me help you with it." She kept her voice low and soft. Draegon couldn't refuse her, at least not when she was pulling this trick on him. He knew how down he could be when she decided to act this way. But he still tried to maintain his cool. He sighed and looked away, leaving the bandage to her. She hel

Chapter: BROKEN HEARTSThat night, Valen didn't go back to meet her parents. She was too tired and unbothered to do so. It was like someone took her only piece of happiness and smashed it to the ground. This wasn't the life she wanted. This was not the result. She folded her legs while sitting on her bed. There was a knock on her door but she didn't respond. The door crept open and her mother's face popped in. She was carrying a tray of food. For a few seconds, she stared at her distracted daughter before entering the room. "I thought I should bring you dinner." She spoke up and walked over to the opposite side of the bed to put it down. After that, she turned to leave but then stopped.She fidgeted with her clothes for a few minutes before asking her daughter. "What kind of relationship do you have with the King?"Only then did Valen pay her attention. "What other kinds of relationships am I supposed to have with the King?" "Valen, don't pretend like you don't know what I'm talk
