Alara’s POV

Warmth lingered on the sheets long after I woke, soft and comforting against my skin. For a few seconds, I didn’t move. I simply breathed, letting the unfamiliar peace settle inside me.

Then my eyes fluttered open—only to find the bed empty.

Xavier’s scent still clung to the pillow beside me, crisp, dark, and unmistakably his. Heat rushed up my neck as memories from the previous night flashed through me—my restless tossing, slipping through the connecting door, the shocked look in his eyes, the way he’d lifted me as though I weighed nothing. The way sleep had finally claimed me in his arms.

And the realization that this was his bed—the Lycan King’s bed—hit me all at once.

“Oh moon…” I whispered, covering my face with both hands.

A soft breeze slipped through the curtains. The chamber was quiet, much larger than mine, warm but intimidatingly regal. I sat up slowly, tugging the blanket closer to my chest, uncertain if I should flee or pretend this never happened.

That’s when

I am swooning over them. Are you guys too? Looks like the ruthless Lycan King already has a soft corner for Alara.

  • Accidentally Marked By The Lycan King   Chapter 56: First Steps Into Strength

    Alara’s POVDays had begun to blur together — not in the hollow, suffocating way they once had, but in a soft, rhythmic pattern that made life feel… livable again.Morning walks. Light training. Meditation with Sage Telitha. Check-ins with Dr. Ella Vane. Evening meals with Ronan’s small circle.Nothing overwhelming. Nothing sharp. Just steady steps toward something I hadn’t experienced in a long time — stability.Astrid approved. Almost aggressively.‘You’re eating again,’ she said smugly one morning as I walked the perimeter trail. ‘Your aura isn’t flickering like a dying lantern.’‘Functional,’ I echoed dryly.She huffed. ‘It’s better than shattered.’And she wasn’t wrong.Under Dr. Ella’s careful supervision and tonics, my body felt stronger each day. Sage Telitha’s weekly sessions had steadied the erratic swell of lunar energy inside me. My crescent mark no longer burned randomly or pulsed like a warning; it hummed, warm and sure, responding gently to my emotions instead of explod

  • Accidentally Marked By The Lycan King   Chapter 55: The Alpha’s Word

    Alara’s POVRonan kept his promise — every word of it — and in doing so, he unknowingly began stitching order into the chaos I had been carrying inside.By the next morning, a routine waited for me. Not forced. Not demanded. Just… offered.I woke to find a neatly folded schedule placed on the bedside table. Ronan’s handwriting was precise, clean — no flourishes, no pressure. Just clarity.Morning – Light TrainingMidday – Meditation / Crescent Power Stabilization followed by Tonics from Dr. VaneAfternoon – RestEvening – Pack Bonding (Optional)At the bottom, in smaller letters:“If anything feels too much, tell me. We’ll adjust it.”Astrid snorted in my subconscious reading it. ‘He schedules like an anxious mother hen.’But I couldn’t help smiling. I needed structure. I needed something that didn’t crumble beneath my feet. And though I didn’t want to admit it out loud, Ronan sensed that before I did.As per the routine sche

  • Accidentally Marked By The Lycan King   Chapter 54: A New Rhythm

    Alara’s POVI blinked awake in the room Ronan had offered, swallowed whole by its quiet warmth. But the moment my hand drifted to my abdomen, resting on the gentle curve that held my unborn babies, the calm shattered.Twins.The word still felt unreal. Heavy. Terrifying. Beautiful.My breath trembled as I pushed up on the mattress.‘You’re safe,’ Astrid whispered inside me, her voice softer than it had been in weeks. Safe, but… not whole. We missed him.A crack sliced through my chest, sharp and cruel. “I know,” I whispered back. My wolf whimpered but didn’t push further. She knew we couldn’t afford to be fragile today.A soft knock came just as I swung my legs down.“Alara?” Ronan’s voice drifted through the door — deep, warm, gentle in a way very few Alpha voices ever were. “May I come in?”I hesitated only for a second. “Yes.”The door opened, revealing him — tall, composed, dressed in dark training clothes as if he’d already been up for hours. His dark eyes swept over me with a co

  • Accidentally Marked By The Lycan King   Chapter 53: In the Quiet Between Shadows

    Alara’s POVThe Midnight Pack woke slowly each morning, not with the harsh, immediate clang of palace bells or the roar of military drills, but like a vast, ancient forest stretching its limbs. I learned this rhythm from the window of my new room — cedar-framed, soft-lit by the muted dawn. Here, life breathed. Wolves shifted lazily in the courtyard below, laughing easily, carrying baskets of fresh-cut wood or morning food. Their chatter rose like distant, comforting birdsong, a stark, necessary contrast to the dead silence of the Lycan palace.I pressed my forehead to the cool glass and fought — again — to push down the agonizing ache inside my chest.I missed him.Even after everything — after the betrayal my own eyes had witnessed, after the suffocating, soul-deep heartbreak that had driven me across territories, forests and borders — the Mate Bond still tugged at me mercilessly. It wasn't just desire; it was a physical, internal pull.Astrid whimpered softly in my mind, a ghost of

  • Accidentally Marked By The Lycan King   Chapter 52: In the Shelter of Midnight Shadows

    Alara’s POVThe Midnight Packhouse was an architecturally stark contrast to the cold, echoing white marble of the Lycan palace halls I’d fled. This place was warm, built entirely of dark cedar and heavy stone, humming with an undercurrent of contained, ancient life but quiet enough that the silence didn’t claw hysterically at my shattered nerves.Alpha Ronan, guided me through the shadowed entrance with a measured, polite distance. He never breached the fragile bubble of my personal space; he never pushed for more acknowledgment or conversation than I was willing to offer. He was a perfect, unsettling host.“Your room,” he said, his voice a low, resonant rumble as he opened a door near the western, most secluded wing, “faces the forest. It’s where the moonlight hits first every night. We find that wolves, particularly those connected to the lunar energy, sleep better with the sky on their side.”I managed a faint, strained smile, my fingers instinctively brushing the warm wooden door f

  • Accidentally Marked By The Lycan King   Chapter 51: Where Fate Stood Waiting

    Alara’s POVI’d been driving all night. No radio. No stops. No thoughts I was willing to face. Just the endless road unraveling beneath the headlights and the knot in my throat growing tighter with every mile between me and the palace.Between me and… him.Astrid had gone silent for most of the drive — hurt, grieving, confused. ‘We should turn back.’ She whispered it once, maybe twice, but even she didn’t sound like she believed it.My hands ached around the steering wheel. My eyes burned. The bond burned too, a raw, blistering thread pulled too tight — but the farther I went, the more muffled it felt, like something inside me was shielding itself.I didn’t know if it was me. Or the pup.All I knew was that when the car finally crossed the outer border — past the last faint tendrils of Xavier’s territory — something inside my spine loosened.The pressure I hadn’t realized was crushing my lungs… eased.Only for the car to jolt violently.“Shit—!”The world pitched forward as the vehicle
