Lycan King Logan's POV

Sitting in the midst of the council of elders, I struggled to stifle a yawn. Bored out of my fucking mind but no choice than to hear them out as the meeting dragged on. As the Lycan King, I had no choice but to hear them out, respecting their position and tradition. Their position in the pack can't be abolished yet they all knew that my word was law. My decisions, though sometimes might be influenced by their counsel, were always final. They knew how strong headed, unyiel

  • Claimed By The Lycan King   48. Meeting Sage

    Lyra’s POV My first few days at Stormbringer were almost deceptively easy. There were chores, of course. Endless ones at that. Cleaning of the servants' quarters. Carrying laundry from one side of the enormous packhouse to another. Sorting clothes. Scrubbing floors. Helping prepare meals when the kitchen was short-handed.Compared to everything I had endured before, the work didn't frighten me. At least, no one had physically abused me or threatened to kill me.For the first time in what felt like forever, I could breathe without wondering when the next blow would come. That peace lasted exactly a week.I was going back to my room to take a short break after a long hour of working when a woman stepped into my path. She was beautiful.Her long, golden-brown hair fell in perfect waves down her back, and her clothes were elegant. She stopped right in front of me, bringing me to an abrupt stop. She looked me over from head to toe. Then she smiled."So you're Lyra."My eyebrow furrowed.

  • Claimed By The Lycan King   47. The Lycan's Claim

    Lyra’s POV The journey to Stormbringer was painfully quiet. I sat in the back seat, my forehead resting against the cool glass as the landscape outside blurred into streaks of green and grey. The road seemed endless, winding through thick forests and unfamiliar territories.I had stopped checking the time displaying on the car's headboard. There was nothing else to do.My wrists were free, but I felt more trapped than I had ever been. Maybe because I knew who was taking me there.The Lycan King. My supposed mate. The man who had once stood at an altar waiting for me to mark him, only to discover that I couldn't shift. The man who had walked away promising war. And now he had come back for me.I swallowed hard.“Do you think we'll be okay?” I asked Nyx.“I don't know.” She sighed. I sighed too and turned my face toward the window. Every now and then, I caught glimpses of mountains in the distance, their peaks disappearing behind mist.I wondered how far we were from Lunar Legion. How

  • Claimed By The Lycan King   46. The Price of a Lie

    Lyra’s POV“Please…”He didn't answer.The noise from the banquet hall gradually disappeared behind us. We passed through a corridor, then another, until he pushed open a side door that led into a secluded courtyard.The moment the door slammed shut behind us, he released me. I rubbed my wrist and looked at him. His chest rose and fell heavily.He turned toward me. “Who are you?”My stomach dropped and I swallowed.“I already told you…”“Don't.” His voice was dangerously calm.I stopped.Cormac stepped closer.“I want the truth this time, Lyra.”“I've told you the truth.” I blinked. “No, you haven't.” He sneered. “Are you a spy?”My heart began pounding.“No.”“Did Logan send you here?” he asked.“No.”“Then who sent you?” He yelled.“No one.”His jaw tightened. “You expect me to believe that?”“Yes.”He laughed bitterly. “You appeared on my territory without warning. You lied about your identity. You lied about your pack. Your wolf can manifest without you shifting, and you resisted

  • Claimed By The Lycan King   45. The Challenge

    Lyra’s POV“You.”The single word struck me harder than any slap I had ever received. I stood still frozen. My fingers tightened around the fabric of my dress as I stared at him. He was still exactly as terrifying as I remembered. My heart hammered violently against my ribs.He has finally found me.After everything that had happened, after all the nights I had spent wondering whether I would ever escape this place, he was standing in front of me. And the first thought that entered my mind was absurdly simple.How am I going to get away from him this time?My feet shifted backward. He noticed.His lips curled slightly. “Still trying to run?”I swallowed. I wanted to deny it. I wanted to tell him he had mistaken me for someone else.Before I could respond, Logan turned his attention to Cormac.“I am taking her.”The words echoed through the banquet hall. A murmur swept through the gathered wolves.Cormac stepped forward. “No.” “You don't get to say no.” Logan's expression hardened.C

  • Claimed By The Lycan King   44. The Shadow Behind Him

    Lyra’s POVMy heart jumped. It was one of Eileen's attendants. She looked at me with a blank expression."Lyra."I immediately became cautious. "Yes?""The Luna summoned you."My stomach tightened. "Now?""Yes."I looked toward my room."What does she want?"The woman merely turned around. "Follow me."I didn't move immediately.Nyx stirred. "I don't like this.""Neither do I."But refusing wasn't an option so I followed blindly.The walk to Eileen's quarters felt longer than usual and every step made my stomach twist tighter. When we reached the Luna's room, the attendant knocked.A voice came from inside. "Come in."The door opened. And the attendant gestured to me to go in. I stepped inside.Eileen was seated near the window, dressed in an elegant robe that probably cost more than everything I had owned in my entire life. She was brushing her hair slowly.She didn't acknowledge me at first. I stood quietly.Eventually, she looked at me through the mirror. "You're late."I frowned.

  • Claimed By The Lycan King   43. Cracks in the Cage

    Lyra’s POVI jerked awake to the sound of the door flying open, my breath caught in my throat in the little cot that was barely my length. Matilda stood at the entrance and whispered two words. "Follow me." She led me back to the same route that led to my old room.Just like that I was back to my room. I wondered what had caused the change. I sat on the edge of the bed and stared at the wall until my eyes burned.The days that followed became harder. I had thought that being moved back to the guest wing would mean a return to the status I had held before Eileen's intervention. Restricted movement, yes. Mia bringing meals, yes. But a certain baseline of being left alone.I was wrong.The omegas knew where I had been. Word traveled fast in the working quarters of a packhouse. They had seen me in the laundry hall. They had watched Matilda assign me to Harper's group. And now, seeing me returned to the guest wing with no explanation, they had drawn their own conclusions about what I was
