DESTINED TO BE QUEEN: LYCAN KING UNEXPECTED MATE 129. THE HEAT OF SHADOW
The thick velvet curtains of Zod’s private chamber blocked out all light from the magical kingdom beyond, casting the room in a dim, simmering haze. A slow-burning fire crackled in the hearth, but it was nothing compared to the storm that raged inside Sandra. Her body burned. The heat had worsened, much faster than either of them anticipated. Zod returned moments ago with food and drinks from the enchanted market, but as soon as he stepped inside and caught the thick scent of Sandra’s heat laced in the air, every instinct in his body flared like a spark catching dry kindling. He locked the door behind him, enchanted it with blood magic, and sealed every window. No one else would come near her. No other male would even catch her scent. Because if they did, she wouldn’t survive what followed. Sandra sat slumped on the edge of the bed, her body trembling with need and pain, her eyes glassy and wild. Her blonde hair clung to her skin, damp with sweat, and her voice…when she spoke…

The moon was high and glowing blood-red through the enchanted windows, casting streaks of crimson across Zod’s chamber. The fire had long since dimmed, reduced to glowing embers, but the heat in the room hadn’t lessened. It had only grown stronger. Sandra stirred beneath the sheets, her skin damp with sweat, her limbs aching with both pleasure and need. She thought the first wave had passed. She was wrong. A low growl escaped her throat as the second stage of her heat crept in like poison in her veins. Her body pulsed with hunger again, this time deeper, darker, more consuming than before. It wasn’t just a craving…it was a demand. Zod sat at the edge of the bed, shirtless, hair tousled, a thick scar running across his back like a mark of wars past. He had been sharpening a blade to pass the time, his muscles rippling with every controlled movement. But the second her scent changed, he dropped the dagger. He didn’t need to look back to know. She was burning again. “Zod...” Her

Sandra’s words lingered in the air, soft and raw. “I think I love you.” Zod didn’t speak. He didn’t blink. His golden eyes stared down at her, unreadable, like the surface of a deep lake hiding a thousand monsters underneath. The fire’s glow lit up half of his face while the other was cast in shadow, a reflection of the storm twisting inside him. He moved suddenly, not away from her, but toward the edge of the bed, rising to his feet without a word. Sandra watched him with her heart hammering in her chest. She expected rejection. Or silence. Or for him to walk out. But instead, Zod bent and scooped her up in his powerful arms. Her body, marked by the night’s frenzy, melted into his chest. She let out a small gasp as her legs curled naturally around his waist, her arms resting around his thick neck. She could feel his pulse, slow and steady, beneath his warm skin. He didn’t look at her as he carried her into the adjoining bathroom, where a wide stone tub filled with warm, steam

The air was thick with tension as King Alexander stood upon a raised obsidian platform, cloaked in his usual regal black and gold Royal robe, his silver hair swept back, and his sharp eyes gleaming with cruelty and ambition. Before him stretched a sea of warriors, thousands of them, from every corner of the realms. Some were former rogues, others seasoned battle-hardened soldiers from long-forgotten kingdoms. Many were mercenaries hungry for power, riches, or the promise of a new life. But the rest... were dark creatures touched by magic…warlocks, twisted hybrids, cursed seers, and shadow-wielding assassins who owed allegiance only to power. At Alexander’s side stood Rowan, his mate and co-conspirator. Her red robes flowed like fire, and her eyes sparkled with malicious excitement. Behind her hovered three dark witches, cloaked in smoke and shadow, their faces veiled. They had built this army for one reason: to tear apart Delilah’s legacy before it could fully rise. Alexander ste

The sound of chanting echoed through the mountains. At the far end of the camp, hidden beneath a dome of shimmering dark energy, Rowan stood in the center of a rune-marked circle surrounded by thirteen witches. The air crackled with raw power, the ground trembling beneath their feet as they linked hands, casting a spiraling vortex of dark flame above their heads. Rowan's long hair was unbound, flowing wildly in the wind stirred by the enchantments. Her voice rang clear over the chants, weaving ancient curses into the threads of magic. "Strength from blood… chaos from order… may the fire obey." The vortex burst outward, sending streams of crimson light across the dome. Each witch caught a stream and twisted it into something new, blades made of fire, shields of smoke, arrows of frozen lightning. They were being trained not to merely use magic, but to weaponize it in chaos. "Again!" Rowan commanded, eyes gleaming. "You must do it without words. Without weakness. A warrior’s magic

Delilah “Excuse me, have you seen Sandra around?” I asked one of the girls I often saw nearby. “No, Luna. I’m looking for her too,” she replied. I left them and headed toward the group gathered under the big tree, preparing the girls for tonight’s event. “Luna,” they greeted me with respectful bows. “Thank you. Has anyone here seen Sandra?” They all shook their heads. Where could she be? Of all days, she knows I can’t handle this alone. I need her to prepare me for tonight. She’s the only one who knows what to do. This is uncharted territory for me. I married my husband just a few weeks ago, but we haven’t mated yet. I’ve been postponing it ever since the wedding. I’m human, and he’s the Alpha of the Blue Moon Pack. I’ve heard stories about how intense Alphas can be during mating. I’m scared because I’ve never done anything like this before. Sandra warned me that Farrell would likely mate with me repeatedly for an entire week after marking me. She also told me that a were

Delilah My heart pounded in my chest. I wasn’t running a marathon, yet I was breathless. Beads of sweat formed on my forehead. What kind of joke was this? How could someone become another person’s mate in just a few hours? Three hours ago, we were all together, and she wasn’t his mate then. How could things change so suddenly? The heat rising inside me grew unbearable, making my heart race uncontrollably. It felt as though the pills I had taken were kicking in sooner than expected. I stepped closer to my husband and stood in front of him, my heart thundering as my trembling hands cupped his handsome face. His gray eyes locked on mine as I opened my mouth. “Farrell! Tell me this is a joke. You can’t be married to me and talk about another mate. This has to be a lie, right?” His expression darkened into a frown as he removed my hands from his face. “This is no joke, Delilah. She is my mate. I feel the mate bond, and I can smell her intoxicating scent.” He shoved me aside, and I

Maxwell I had been attending meetings non-stop since morning, and they had drained every ounce of my energy. I left Milton yesterday after a long journey. As soon as my jet landed, my Beta, Cross, who is also my closest friend, informed me that I had five meetings to attend. Now, it’s almost eleven at night, and this last meeting is still dragging on. I might not even make it back to my pack tonight. I raised my hand, signaling to Vale, my PA. He approached swiftly. “Yes, my king?” “Book me a presidential suite. I won’t make it to the pack tonight.” “Yes, my king. I’ll handle it right away.” He scurried out, disappearing through the door. The meeting continued, but I had already lost interest. This last session involved me and other Alphas from the surrounding zones. They had been at each other’s throats since the moment the meeting began. I could have left and let them sort out their mess, but as the King ruling over these territories, it was my duty to mediate.

DESTINED TO BE QUEEN: LYCAN KING UNEXPECTED MATE 128. SHADOWS OF HEAT AND DECEIT
The Magic Kingdom, hidden behind layers of enchantment and centuries of secrecy, was alive with whispered secrets and veiled intentions. Deep within its polished marble halls and golden domes, two dark hearts beat in rhythm, Zod and Sandra. Zod’s quarters were unlike any other in the palace. Draped in obsidian silks and embroidered gold, his chamber exuded a false warmth, a luxurious mask over the danger that lived within. Polished stones reflected the dancing lights of floating lanterns, and the sweet scent of burning sandalwood clung to every surface. The room, lavish and isolated, was fit for royalty, though Zod wore no crown, yet. He was the favoured shadow. The most loyal to Rowan was handpicked for his ruthlessness and his bloodline. His father had once been the Beta of the powerful Shadow Claws Pack, back when Queen Arabella and King Kael, King Maxwell's parents…still ruled. But betrayal had tainted those golden years. Rowan had plotted their fall, and Zod's father, torn b
DESTINED TO BE QUEEN: LYCAN KING UNEXPECTED MATE 127. HER MISSION
Under a dark city skyline, the Blue Moon Pack’s estate bloomed with light. Enormous holographic screens floated above the open-air hall, shimmering with silver wolves and the pack’s crest. Wireless lanterns drifted in formation overhead, stitched into the night sky by tiny drones that painted constellations of blue and white. Guests drifted through lush gardens and along glass walkways, their fashions a mix of formal couture and subtle pack symbolism, sapphire-blue lapels, dresses embroidered with moon sigils, and bracelets of woven silver fur. Supernatural guards stood at every entrance: some human in gleaming body armour bristling with runes, others shapeshifted into massive wolves whose augmented eyes glowed softly. The atmosphere thrummed with expectation…everyone knew tonight was not just any celebration. As the quarter moon crested overhead, a hush fell. A low mechanical hum announced the arrival of the honoured guests. Alpha Farrell, believed lost to the winds of
DESTINED TO BE QUEEN: LYCAN KING UNEXPECTED MATE 126. AFTER THE STORM
Delilah lay in the large bed, wrapped in soft white sheets. Her body ached in ways she couldn’t describe. The heat was over now, but what remained was the pain, deep, throbbing, and all over. Her muscles trembled even when she tried to sit up. She had never gone through something so intense in her life. Her body had been shared, loved, and claimed by two powerful men, King Maxwell and Alpha Farrell. They were both strong, passionate, and dominant. And yet, they had both shown her a softer side afterwards, something she never expected. Maxwell sat by her side, brushing her hair away from her face. Farrell stood near the window, preparing a tray of food with fruits, warm soup, and herbal tea. There was no servant around. The two men insisted on doing everything for her themselves. “You need to eat,” Farrell said softly, placing the tray gently in front of her. Delilah gave him a tired smile. “I’ll try.” Maxwell helped her sit up while Farrell carefully fed her a spoonful of warm b
DESTINED TO BE QUEEN: LYCAN KING UNEXPECTED MATE 125. ANOTHER HEAT WAVE
Delilah woke up between warm bodies. Her skin, still flushed and tingling, her heat hadn't subsided, if anything, it had grown stronger, spreading like fire beneath her skin. Her body ached with needs, and hunger, not for food, but for the two males who made love to her all through the night. She turned her head to the right, and found Alpha Farrell, still asleep, his arm still wrapped around her waist, protectively. To her right, King Maxwell was already awake, watching her with eyes filled with lust and something deeper…adoration. “Good morning,” his voice, husky and low. He leaned forward and kissed her forehead. “Or should I say good heat?” Delilah let out a laugh, but it was soon replaced by a moan as another heat wave pulsed through her. Her thighs clenched, involuntarily. Maxwell's eyes darkened at the sound, and Farrell stirred beside her. “You're still burning,” Farrell murmured, sleepily, brushing his hand over her belly. “She needs us again, Max.” Maxwell positioned
