Maxwell

“Your Majesty, I am overjoyed that we have finally sealed the deal. You should have seen the investors, they were ecstatic to be part of these projects. It’s not just about the oil company; it’s also the bridge that will connect our region to the magical palace. This is a monumental step forward,”

Cross exclaimed, his voice brimming with enthusiasm as he recounted the day’s success.

The magical palace has always been a place of fascination for humans, a realm of wonder and power that many have longed to access. My late parents had initiated these projects, dreaming of a future where our people could thrive alongside the magic of that realm. But their dreams were cut short.

They perished in a brutal war against the Lycans, who sought to claim the palace for themselves. Since their deaths, the project had been abandoned, left to gather dust and fade into memory. But I made a vow to finish what they started, to honor their legacy and bring their vision to life.

    Maxwell My blood ran cold. “What are you talking about?” I asked sharply. “I got confirmation that she was brought here. How can she just disappear?” James looked uncomfortable. He hesitated before answering, like he didn’t want to make things worse. “Your Majesty… maybe the warriors who brought her can explain,” he said softly. “Do you remember who they were?” I opened my mouth to answer—but nothing came out. My mind was… blank. I couldn’t remember their faces. I couldn’t even remember their names. How could this happen? I never forget important things. I am a King. My memory is strong. This should not be happening. I looked at Cross. He looked just as worried and confused as I was. I could tell he didn’t understand either. “Forget it,” I muttered, feeling the frustration burn in my chest. “I must be wrong.” James nodded, but I saw the fear in his eyes. He didn’t believe that I was just “mistaken.” I turned and left the dungeons quickly, my steps heavy. Cross followed be

  • DESTINED TO BE QUEEN: LYCAN KING UNEXPECTED MATE    050. FIGHTING FOR SURVIVAL

    The kingdom was in chaos. The Shadow Claws Pack, the largest and most powerful pack in the region, was fighting for survival. Their Alpha and King, Maxwell, was locked in a brutal internal battle, not with an enemy, but with his own beast. This was no ordinary struggle. It was a fight for dominance, a fight that arose when the beast sensed betrayal. Such battles were rare, but when they occurred, they were catastrophic. The beast, if unleashed, could slaughter hundreds within minutes, leaving destruction in its wake. Yet, King Maxwell was determined to resist its fury. He refused to let his beast harm his people. His goal was clear: to root out the traitors and protect his kingdom, even if it meant risking his own life. Meanwhile, Beta Cross, the King’s most trusted, was doing everything in his power to carry out his Alpha’s orders. His mission was to ensure the safety of the pack and anyone within their territory. But the situation was far from simple. A group of human investor

    Delilah’s jaw dropped as she took in the eerie emptiness of the Shadow Claws pack territory. The streets, usually bustling with life, were now deserted. Not a single Lycan was in sight. Her heart pounded violently in her chest, the rhythm of her fear echoing in her ears. Something was terribly wrong. The silence was unnatural, almost suffocating, and it sent a shiver down her spine. She inhaled deeply, her senses sharpening as she caught a strange, unfamiliar scent lingering in the air. It was faint but unmistakable…a tinge of magic that made her skin crawl. “This is weird,” she thought, her mind racing as she tried to make sense of the situation. Beta Cross, followed closely behind her, his presence a small comfort in the unsettling atmosphere. “Is something the matter?” he asked, his voice low and cautious. He could see the tension in her posture, the way her eyes darted around, searching for answers that weren’t there. Delilah hesitated before responding. “There’s a strange s

    The scene was one of utter devastation. Bodies lay scattered across the ground, torn apart as if by a wild beast. Blood stained the grass, its metallic scent mixing with the strange magical energy in the air. The wounded cried out in pain, their voices a haunting chorus of despair. It was a nightmare come to life. “Goddess,” Delilah whispered, her hand flying to her mouth as she took in the carnage. “What happened here?” Beta Cross shouted, his voice filled with anger and disbelief as he confronted the survivors. “It was the King,” one of them replied, their voice trembling with fear. “He did this to his own people.” “No!” Delilah screamed, her voice breaking. “He would never do this. This isn’t his scent. I’m sure of it!” She refused to believe it, her loyalty to her mate unshakable. “What do you know?” Elder Zane interjected, his voice cold and accusing as he stepped forward. “Do you know him like we do? He grew up before our eyes. We know what he’s capable of.” His gaze shift

    The situation was utterly confusing. Beta Cross couldn’t comprehend how those monstrous rogues had managed to infiltrate their territory. Their pack had always been the safest, the most secure. No threat had ever survived an encounter with them, let alone breached their defenses. Yet here they were, trapped and vulnerable, surrounded by enemies who had somehow outsmarted them. His mind raced with possibilities, each more troubling than the last. One thought stood out above the rest: there was a traitor among them. But who? And more importantly, how many? He knew it couldn’t be just one person. The scale of this betrayal was too vast, too calculated. As he stood in the cage, his eyes locked onto the rogues celebrating their capture. Their laughter and jeers fueled his anger, and his wolf stirred within him, ready to fight, to tear them apart. As the Beta of the pack and the second-in-command to their Alpha, his instincts screamed at him to protect his pack, especially the Alpha’s L

  • DESTINED TO BE QUEEN: LYCAN KING UNEXPECTED MATE    054. THE ACCUSATION

    Delilah The Assembly Hall was full. Every seat was taken. The room felt heavy, like the walls were holding in all the tension and fear. The Elders sat in straight rows, wearing long robes and blank faces. It was hard to tell what they were thinking. Around them stood the strongest warriors of the pack. Their arms were crossed, their eyes alert. They didn’t smile. They didn’t blink. Something big was coming, and we all knew it. Among the crowd, I saw Rosa. She was the pack’s healer. She looked calm as always, but I didn’t trust her calmness anymore. Beside her stood Zod, the Gamma, quiet and watchful. There were also new faces, wolves I didn’t recognize. Strangers. And their presence made the air even thicker. I sat beside King Maxwell on his high throne. A royal robe rested over my shoulders. It was heavy, warm, and a little stiff, but it reminded me of my place beside him. I had chosen to sit here today, not because I had to, but because I wanted to. I wanted to show the king I

    Delilah The air in the grand hall was heavy. Not just with silence, but with secrets. Many eyes were on me. Some were watching with care. Some were waiting to see me fail. But I stood strong. Even if I didn’t know everything yet, I was sure of one thing, the people who planned this betrayal were right here in this very hall. They were watching. Pretending to be loyal. But I knew. I could feel it deep inside my heart. Elder Kade was not the real enemy. He was just a puppet. Someone they pushed forward to take the blame. A shield to protect their true faces. They used him like a pawn in a big, dangerous game. I may look young, and I may have come from a humble background. But I was not a fool. No. I had seen behind their fake smiles and sweet voices. I had seen through their tricks. I knew what this was…and I was ready to fight back. I was going to beat them at their own game. They dared to accuse my King? My mate? The one who gave everything for this pack? How dare they try t

    THE MAGIC KINGDOM Far away, beyond a dense forest and across an island near New York City, lies a hidden, magical realm. This enchanted place is home to a unique community of hybrids-beings born with extraordinary powers. Known as the Magic Kingdom, it is a land where wonder and power intertwine. At its heart stands the majestic Magic Palace, a symbol of the kingdom's strength and the home of its rulers. The hybrids were naturally gifted with magic, and their abilities were originally intended to bring joy and entertainment to humans. According to ancient tales, the kingdom’s origins trace back to a divine blessing. A human man and a Lycan woman, deeply in love, were granted a miraculous gift by the Moon Goddess. Their union produced the first hybrid, a magical princess named Delula. She was destined to lead her people and bring prosperity to their land. As the kingdom grew in power and influence, it became a beacon of magic and strength. The hybrids’ abilities were not just for s

    Farrell "I need to take Delilah home," I said again, louder this time, standing firm in front of the King. The moment the words left my mouth, the entire atmosphere changed. King Maxwell's smile disappeared. His body stiffened, his eyes flashing with something raw and dangerous. "No," he growled. "You will not." A low rumble rolled from his chest, the room trembling with the weight of his anger. "This is her home," he said sharply. "She belongs here, with her King. With her pups." I matched his anger, stepping closer, refusing to back down. "I’m her mate," I said, my voice rough with the possessiveness surging through me. "I have just as much right." Maxwell's eyes darkened further, his muscles bunching as if ready for a fight. It would have exploded between us if not for Delilah. She stepped between us, calm but firm. "Rosa," she said over her shoulder, never taking her eyes off us. "Please take the pups inside." Rosa, sensing the tension, quickly ushered the children

    Delilah The moment our steps hit the training ground, everything stopped. I could feel their eyes on us, stunned, wide-eyed, filled with disbelief and then something deeper... something like hope. And then…He moved. King Maxwell broke into a run, faster than I had ever seen him move before. "Delilah!" he cried out, his voice rough and broken. I barely had time to catch my breath before he scooped me into his arms, holding me so tightly I could hardly breathe. His hands roamed my back, my arms, my face, checking, desperate to make sure I was real, that I was whole. Tears shone in his eyes, and without hesitation, he kissed me, once on my forehead, once on my cheek, once on my lips. Fast, frantic, overflowing with relief. "My goddess... Delilah," he whispered against my skin. "You’re here. You’re alive." I clung to him just as tightly, feeling his heart hammer against mine. He pulled back, cupping my cheeks, his thumbs brushing away tears that spilled from his own eyes. "I

    Maxwell The sun rose slowly over the palace, casting golden light over the training fields. The warriors had already gathered, both werewolves and Lycans, standing tall and ready. Today was not just another day. Today, we prepared for war. I stood before them, my hands behind my back, my eyes sweeping over the hundreds of warriors who had come from every corner of our land. Their faces were filled with determination. They knew what was coming. The council of elders and the Alphas of the five main zones were waiting inside the grand hall for the meeting to begin. I took one last look at the training ground, then turned and walked into the palace. Inside, the room was buzzing with quiet conversation. When I entered, silence fell. Everyone rose to their feet, bowing their heads in respect. "Please," I said, lifting my hand. "Sit." They obeyed, and I took my place at the head of the long stone table. "This war is no longer a rumor," I said firmly, meeting each pair of eyes.

    Delilah The room was warm and quiet, lit by the soft glow of candles. Farrell and I sat on the large bed, facing each other, almost afraid to blink. It felt unreal. After everything… after all the pain and loss… Here we were, together again. I reached out with trembling fingers and touched his face, tracing the sharp line of his jaw, the familiar curve of his lips. He caught my hand and pressed a kiss into my palm, closing his eyes. "I missed you," he said, his voice raw. "Gods, Delilah, I missed you so much I thought I won't be able to see you again.” Tears blurred my vision. "I missed you too," I whispered. "Every second. Every heartbeat. I missed you." Without another word, he pulled me into his arms. His mouth found mine in a kiss so deep, so desperate, that it stole all the air from my lungs. I melted into him, clutching his shirt, feeling the steady beat of his heart. Farrell lifted me gently, laying me down on the soft mattress as if I were the most precious thing i

    Delilah The morning came slowly. The sky was still gray when I opened my eyes. I hadn't really slept. All night, I stayed by my mother’s side, watching her sleep. I watched how her chest rose and fell with each breath. Maybe… maybe I was just scared. Scared to lose her again. The pain of losing her once almost destroyed me, especially when I was told that her brother was responsible for her death. I couldn't bear it happening a second time. But now… Now she was here. She was alive. The Moon Goddess had brought her back to me. Tears welled up in my eyes as I reached out and gently brushed her hair away from her face. She looked so peaceful… so fragile… but alive. I whispered a prayer of thanks under my breath. Aunt Kala entered quietly, carrying a wooden tray filled with a small bowl of porridge and a cup of steaming herbal drink. "Good morning, child," she said softly, giving me a warm smile. "Good morning, Aunt Kala," I whispered back. She placed the tray on the sm

    Maxwell "Mama... Mama... please come back." That was all they kept saying. Over and over again, all through the night. I couldn’t sleep. They refused to sleep too. They cried and cried, calling for their mother. I was so helpless. I didn’t know what to do anymore. "They need her… They miss her so much…" I whispered to myself, rubbing my tired face.Their tiny voices broke my heart. It was not just them. I was suffering too. Without Delilah, I was only half a man. I couldn’t eat properly. I couldn’t think straight. I couldn’t even lead my people the way I should. Last night, something happened. Beka and Amanok opened another portal. This time, it was clearer, brighter than before. And there… standing in the light… was Delilah. She looked so beautiful, yet so tired. I wanted to reach out and touch her, hold her, tell her how much I missed her. But I couldn’t. Because just then, the pups cried louder, calling for her. I saw the way her face softened when she heard them. I knew s

  • DESTINED TO BE QUEEN: LYCAN KING UNEXPECTED MATE    111. REUNION

    Delilah The sky outside the cave was beginning to darken. The sun was slipping behind the hills, painting the clouds with the colours of pink and gold. I stayed close to my mother, gently holding her hand as we walked through the woods. Aunt Kala stayed by her other side, ready to catch her, if she stumbled. Each of her steps was slow, Each of the breaths she took was shallow. It hurt me to see her like this, fragile and tired. However, at the same time, I am happy that my mother is alive. And she was finally here with me. We didn't speak much as we moved towards a small cottage, hidden deep, in the forest. Aunt Kala had prepared it long ago, hoping that one day, this day would come. It was a quiet place, surrounded by wildflowers and grass, a place of peace. Inside the cottage, the air smelled fresh herbs and burning wood. Aunt Kala quickly made a bed by the burning fire and helped my mother lie down carefully. She pulled a soft blanket over her. I sat down on the floor, next

    Delilah As I walked out of the temple. I knew that I was no longer the woman I used to be. But it is my destiny Aunt Kala sat down under a huge tree. She looked like someone in deep thought. “I am back.” I said. She felt startled. But quickly got up and straightened her robe. “Delilah, you're back.” She said with a cheerful smile. “Yes, I am back. And we need a lot to do. Can we proceed” I said, and she nodded. The air was cold as we walked through the quiet woods and Aunt Kala walked beside me without saying a word. Even the trees around us seem to know that something important was about to happen. There are branches really slowly, whispering secrets. I couldn’t understand the ground was soft with fallen leaves, and each step I took felt easier than the last. My heart beats loudly in my chest. I could feel it echoing in my ears. I was about to see my mother. The woman I had had so many stories about, but never truly knew she had been asleep for more than 20 years. As we

    Delilah The air was quiet as we walked. But inside me, something powerful stirred, making me feel stronger with every step. Slowly, I began to understand who I truly was. All my questions were finally being answered. The words I had heard earlier repeated in my mind: “You are not just a werewolf. And you are not just a Lycan. You are both. You are the first of your kind. The one born to bring peace.” “You are the first of your kind.” These words echoed in my head over and over. With each step, it felt like the earth was guiding me, leading me to where I needed to go. Aunt Kala walked beside me, silent. She didn’t speak, but I could tell she sensed the change in me. After walking through the forest for a while, I turned to her. “Aunt Kala,” I said softly. “Where is the Ancient Temple? How do we find it?” She smiled gently. “You don’t need to find the temple, Delilah. The temple will find you,” Her eyes moved to the golden key in my hand. “This key led you here. I’
