Alpha Cormac’s POV

Tapping on my table as I patiently dialed Alpha Thane’s number, the air thick with anticipation as I sat in my office. It had been months since we last spoke, and our relationship had always been one of mutual respect and friendship. Alpha Thane wasn’t the kind of man who made friends easily, nor was I, but he was rational and loyal to those who aligned with his interests.

He was the Alpha of the Ironclaw Pack. A pack known for their fearless warriors, the pack's reputation was built on their ferocity. Their wealth and influence were founded on conquering smaller packs and secret illegal business dealings.

They also had established relationships with powerful humans. They offered them services as high-stakes protectors, bodyguards, and mercenaries.

The call connected after a few rings.

“Cormac,” Thane’s deep voice greeted me. “To what do I owe the honor?”

“I need a favor,” I replied. “It’s a matter of urgency.”

Thane let out a low hum, clearly intrigued. “What ki

  • Claimed By The Lycan King   19. A Step Forward

    Lyra’s POV My breath hitched when I saw Alpha Cormac step inside. His presence filled the room instantly, commanding attention even in silence. I sat up straighter on the bed, unsure of what to expect and why he was here. “What are you doing here?” I blurted out in shock.Alpha Cormac’s expression remained unreadable as he stepped closer, his dark eyes meeting mine with an intensity that made my pulse quicken, but he had a warm look. His intoxicating smell filled the air, making my hormones stirred up. He didn’t answer my question right away. Instead, he walked over to the edge of the bed and, to my surprise, sat down beside me. The mattress dipped under his weight, the proximity making it impossible to ignore the pull of the mate bond between us. He turned to face me, his gaze softening and warmer than usual. “Relax, I'm not here to hurt you or do anything you don't like,” he answered.“I wanted to see if you’d made a decision,” he added. I hesitated, my fingers twisting the

  • Claimed By The Lycan King   18. Undecided Fate

    Lyra’s POV Alpha Cormac’s words echoed in my mind. I could not think of anything else since I was taken back to the room I was locked up in after the talk in his office yesterday. “We are mates. The Moon Goddess brought us together for a reason,” he added, not waiting for my response to his first question. At first, I thought I had misheard him. The declaration was so unexpected that I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Of all the things he could have said, this was the last thing I imagined. My heart was racing. I could barely manage to respond to him back in his office, stumbling through words about how I thought he would reject me, and I had braced myself for it.I had assumed it would be an easy decision for him. After all, who was I? A nobody. An unwanted daughter with a cruel stepmother from the story I had cooked up. A runaway with no name, no power, and no purpose. Why would an Alpha like him, a man who seemed ruthless and calculated, want anything to do with me? All o

  • Claimed By The Lycan King   17. Unmasking the truth

    Lyra’s POV “Tell me what you want.” Alpha Cormac’s words hung in the air like a storm cloud, heavy and threatening to burst. I sat frozen in my chair, trying to understand the sudden shift in his behavior towards me. Since have been brought to this pack, he had been nothing but cold and calculating. Threatening to torture me, locking me away like a criminal. And now, here he was, sitting across from me, his piercing gaze softening just enough to make me question whether this was the same man I met days back. What brought about the change?“It could be the mate bond.” Nyx’s voice echoed in my head.Being so close to him and sitting across, I couldn't help but feel an intense urge to be closer. I couldn't give in to the mate bond. My heart pounded in my chest. I could smell his scent and it was driving both I and Nyx crazy.“Could I trust him?” I asked Nyx“What is the worst thing that could happen?” She answered me.“Taking me back to my pack,” I snapped back at Nyx in my head, “You

  • Claimed By The Lycan King   16. Unraveling Intentions

    Alpha Cormac’s POV I swirled the whiskey in the cup gently. The whiskey has been the only thing relieving me of my worries for a while now. I felt a faint hint of relief settle in my chest. The shipment had been successfully delivered to Alpha Thane’s warehouse two days ago, and the buyer had to be rushed to complete the transaction without delay yesterday.This wasn’t how I had hoped to handle this shipment. I’d hope to take my time, scout for the highest bidders, or sell it off in a smaller ratio which would also maximize my profit. But time was a luxury I couldn’t afford at the moment. Not when the Lycan King had already raided, some of my warehouses two months ago and he was still out there sniffing around my business. If he discovered this shipment too, there wouldn’t be much left for me to salvage. I was running out of personal funds and including pack funds that have been diverting.I was forced to make quick decisions, something which I detested. Yet, the deal had gone throu

  • Claimed By The Lycan King   15. Shackled Thought

    Lyra’s POVIt's been three fucking days.Three long, excruciating days. Three days of being locked up in this room. The soft light filtering through the window in the corner of the room gave me a sense of time, though it felt more like a curse than a blessing. Each hour that passed stretched into eternity, leaving me trapped in my thoughts with no escape or attempt at it. The walls around me were suffocating, no matter how luxurious this room was compared to the dungeon.It was way better than the dungeon by all means. I had access to a small bed, bathroom and food but I was getting sick. I stared at the ceiling, my mind wandering to Calantha. Was she safe? Did she manage to flee after she diverted the guards attention away or had they caught her too? My stomach churned at the thought of her being tortured or worse. She had been my only true companion, my confidante, and my protector when no one else had cared. She could only do little when I'm being punished or abused but she
