Claimed By The Lycan King 41. Rumors and Laundry
Lyra’s POVThe place reeked of sweat and despair, thick with the crushed spirits of Omegas who had been ground down by their own lives. It was nothing like the room and the rest of the wings I’ve been to in the packhouse. The atmosphere was entirely different. “This will be your room,” she gestured at me to follow her once more as she spoke. I followed her, trying to look steadier than I felt, my cheek still carrying the pain of Eileen's slap.The laundry hall was large and almost stifling. Women worked in pairs and threes, their sleeves rolled to their elbows. A few glanced at me. Most did not.Matilda stopped near the far end of the hall and turned to face me.“You will be joining the omegas on laundry duty today," she said..I looked at the stacked clothes waiting to be sorted. "Okay," I said, already resigned to fate. Back to being treated like a slave I once was.Matilda studied me for a moment with that same measuring look she always gave, like she was filing something away.
Claimed By The Lycan King 40. When The Storm Has A Face
Lyra’s POVBack to being confined once more. Just when I thought I was free. Alpha Cormac had asked the guards to be posted outside my door. This felt different compared to before. I sat on the edge of the bed and stared at the window. Outside, the omegas were spreading clothes on the line. A small figure caught my attention. She watched the rest of the omegas shattering from the corner of eyes. She reminds me of myself back at the Frostbite pack. I took a deep breath in and tried to focus on the present. I have to talk to Alpha Cormac to let me go. Is there really a way out of here? Has my father figured out I'm in this pack? I shook my head in an attempt to shake off the thought in my head. My father is the least person I want to rescue me. I can't count on him.A shiver ran down my spine. I had to think clearly without the fog of fear of trepidation clouding everything. I can tell Cormac was not a man who makes idle declarations but there has to be a way to reason with him to le
Claimed By The Lycan King 39. The Mate I Never Asked For
Lyra’s POVMy head felt foggy all of a sudden. I closed my eyes and saw fireworks bouncing around. I rubbed my temple hard to bring me back to the present. I slowly enunciate the words in my head just to be certain that I didn’t misheard him. HAS. A. CHOSEN. LUNAThe words settled in my head like ashes from a burning bush. He had said it plainly while watching me with those dark eyes. “Her name is Eileen and she is nothing like you.” He added, like it would calm the turmoil roaring in my head. Eileen.The name sat in my chest like a stone."You have a Luna," I said at last, my voice barely above a whisper.It wasn't a question. It was the only thing I could say. The only thing that made sense to repeat, because nothing else in this moment did.Cormac leaned back now completely unbothered like he could finally breathe freely since he dropped the bomb. He had the composure of someone who had rehearsed this conversation a hundred times and found it beneath him."I do," he said.The fi
Claimed By The Lycan King 38. The Truth Beneath the Bond
Lyra’s POVI sat across from him, my fingers lightly gripping the edge of the table as I tried to steady myself. His gaze on my cleavages, churning like molten gold. I swallowed hard and tried to take in my environment instead. Everything looked perfect. The quietness of the space screamed intimacy and perfection but I was beginning to realize it doesn't seem right.Cormac leaned back slightly in his chair, studying me, just clearly written all over his face. I looked down and I couldn't help but wonder if the gown was too revealing. He noticed me squirm due to uneasiness.“What do you think?” he asked, trying to lighten the mood. I blinked, caught off guard with his question. “About…?”“The setting.”My eyes drifted around again like I hadn't taken in the carefully arranged flowers, the warm glow of the lights and the elegant table between us.“It’s…” I hesitated, searching for the right words. “It’s beautiful.”He tilted his head slightly. “Do I sense a but?”I exhaled softly. “It
Claimed By The Lycan King 37. Expectation and Reality
Lyra’s POVBy the time we left the shopping mall, it was evening already. I leaned my head lightly against the window as the car moved, watching unfamiliar roads pass by. I've never seen such a busy city before. I have never left the pack back home before. I don't even have a reason to. Even days when Calantha had begged Dad to allow me to follow her on some trips he never approved it. The driver at first drove towards the same route we came in the afternoon. Thrn suddenly took a sharp turn in another direction. I jolted up and eyed Mia from the corner of my eye. She didn't move, kept looking ahead in a relaxed manner. When the car finally slowed and turned into a long driveway, my breath caught.The house that came into view was…“Wow,” I whispered before I could stop myself.It wasn’t just a house. It was a small house with a breathtaking view. Elegant but quiet. Its tall windows reflected the fading sky. The driver parked smoothly and Mia stepped out.I followed, still taking ever
Claimed By The Lycan King 36. A Date Deferred
Lyra’s POV Evening came with a strange kind of overwhelming restlessness then all of the sudden voices drifting through the hallway, footsteps passing by my door, the distant hum of life in a place I was still not allowed to be part of. I had grown used to silence, to the stillness of confinement of this secluded part of the packhouse. When suddenly, something hit me.Cormac.His scent reached me before anything else as it wrapped around my senses like it's what I have been craving for a long while. It was understandable. I had no freedom and the only faces I get to see were that of Mia and Cormac’s. My heart skipped.Nyx perked up instantly, excitement bubbling through our bond. “He’s here.”The door opened before I could even take another breath. Cormac stepped in, and for a moment, he looked… different. There was satisfaction and happiness radiating from the way he smiled at me.“Lyra,” his face melted into another buttery smile.The way he said my name made my chest tighten.“Al
