DOMINIC

Something was wrong.

I could tell from the way the world seemed to slow down, from the way the hair on my arms stood on end. But the biggest tell was the surge of, almost murderous, protectiveness that filled my chest.

I stepped away from the Alpha I'd been discussing with, my eyes snapping to the spot where I'd asked the Omega to remain standing. And there she was, staggering backwards, her eyes wide as she stared at a spot in the crowd.

She looked terrified.

Without thinking, I darted through the crowd, my movements a blur. I reached her just in time to wrap my arms around her waist and save her from stumbling to the ground.

Trying not to focus on the fact that her body was pressing against mine right now, I forced my thoughts away from the false effects of the mate bond.

“What is wrong with you,” I hissed under my breath, grabbing her by the shoulders. “Are you trying to embarrass me? Stop this nonsense immediately before you attract unnecessary attention!”

  • Accidentally Mated To The Ruthless Lycan King   Chapter 27: A Moment Of Weakness

    DOMINIC I took a sip of champagne, my eyes roaming the hall in search of Adeline. When I didn't see her in the spot where she'd been standing last, I straightened up with a jolt, my senses on full alert.Although I sent her off to mingle with the crowd, my eyes had been trailing her discreetly, following wherever she moved. At some point, I regretted sending her off. She looked so overwhelmed and alone, and it might have been easier if she was with me. But I'd forced those thoughts out of my mind. She wasn't my responsibility. She was my Luna only in name, and the one thing that tied me to her was a bond I was eager to break. That was it. Nothing else. Even at that, I couldn't stop my eyes from roaming the hall. When I finally found her, I nearly spat out the drink in my mouth. She was standing in the middle of the hall, dancing with a random man I had never set eyes on. I couldn't be sure but she looked to be enjoying herself, smiling and chatting with him.My fingers tightened

  • Accidentally Mated To The Ruthless Lycan King   Chapter 26: The Result Of Mingling 

    ADELINEI glanced around the hall awkwardly, wondering what I was supposed to do with myself. I wanted to yell at Alpha Dominic to come back, beg him to stay by my side instead of leaving me alone in this crowded hall, but he was already walking away as though he'd arrived solo. A streak of annoyance pricked my chest. I didn't ask to be at this party. The least he could do was let me stick by his side till it was all over. But no. Instead, he was giving me strict instructions on what to do and what not to do, what to say and what not to say. Why couldn't he just let me stay at the palace instead? By now I would be chatting with Giselle or doing something else that wouldn't make my heart skip. Anything was better than this. I rubbed my arms lightly and forced myself to take steps forward. I had no idea where I was going, but this was my lame attempt at mingling. Everywhere I looked, there was a sea of faces. Suddenly, I realized something. Was I hallucinating or were most of them

  • Accidentally Mated To The Ruthless Lycan King   Chapter 25: An Unreasonable Jealousy 

    DOMINIC I was almost running by the time I reached the training field, my chest heaving. But when I neared the spot where the two of them were standing, my movements came to an abrupt halt. I'd barged out here without thinking it through. But now that I thought about it, I had no idea why I was here at all. One sight of the woman I was supposedly indifferent about with my Beta, and I came charging like a wild horse. What the hell was I even doing here? Why did I feel this unreasonable jealousy hammering in my chest?This was ridiculous.‘She is our mate, goddamn it,’ Draco’s voice echoed in my head. “She is not deserving of that title. And she's not my type,” I hissed back. Draco rumbled with laughter. ‘Interesting. Yes, that makes sense. It's probably why you are having such a violent reaction to seeing her with another man, because she's not your type.’I looked away, refusing to acknowledge his words. I took a step back, suddenly aware of how ridiculous I probably looked stand

  • Accidentally Mated To The Ruthless Lycan King   Chapter 24: Combat Trousers And A Warmup

    ADELINEI stretched my legs out on the couch, placing a hand over my mouth to stifle a yawn. Slowly, I pulled myself up to a sitting position and glanced around the room, taking in the pleasant sight of streaks of sunlight spilling through the curtains. It had been two days since Giselle returned, and things were back to normal again. At least, some of them. I was still trying to get used to sharing a chamber with Alpha Dominic; staying out of his way as much as possible, trying not to gape at him whenever I caught a glimpse of his shirtless back, timing my showers for when I knew he wouldn't be here to avoid any awkwardness, and searching for a solution to my morning sickness. I'd learned that taking a lemongrass mint tea first thing in the morning was tremendously helpful. But the goddess help me, it was so nasty I wasn't sure how much longer I could keep it up for.Maybe I could try a ginger mix next. The important thing though, was that my baby was safe and sound. The fear of m

  • Accidentally Mated To The Ruthless Lycan King   Chapter 23: Annoyed Or Impressed

    DOMINIC Up until this very moment, I had harbored a festering irritation and resentment against Adeline for how she wormed her way into becoming my Luna. Yes, there had been times when her actions strongly contradicted the gold-digging opportunist I'd imagined her to be, but I'd brushed it off, convinced that she was only putting on an act. But now, I knew beyond reasonable doubt that she was telling the truth. No one in her position would risk their life for a maid, a friend. Her words from earlier were still resounding in my head. She was willing to be rejected and executed, losing not only her title as Luna, but her life as well. That was definitely not the attitude of an opportunist. As I drove back to my estate, my mind whirled with thoughts. All this time, I had blamed Adeline for the mix-up of the mating ceremony, but realizing now that she was a victim in a conspiracy created a bigger problem. It meant that someone under my roof, in my very own pack, had dared to sabotage

  • Accidentally Mated To The Ruthless Lycan King   Chapter 22: Such A Protector 

    ADELINE“Behind me, now!”I pulled myself to my feet at the Alpha's command and ducked a few feet behind him, my heart hammering in my chest.When he began to attack the rogues, I watched on, my emotions a mix of awe and disbelief. He was the last person I expected to see here, especially not after I'd disobeyed and walked out on him barely thirty minutes ago.But my eyes weren't playing tricks on me. Not only had he just saved me, he was also slashing his way through the rogues to rescue Giselle.I was so transfixed by the sight I couldn't take my eyes off him. He was a beast in battle, and I was only now truly beginning to understand how he'd gotten that reputation. Of course I'd heard rumors of how vicious the Lycan King was in combat, but this was my first time experiencing it.He was s
