Silence.

That was all there was. The soft hum of the air purifier and the distant clinking of cutlery from the estate staff were the only sounds breaking the still morning. Inside the large dining room, the atmosphere felt heavier than the air itself.

“Can I come in?” Her voice was soft but clear, finally breaking the silence between them.

He turned slowly, his expression unreadable. “Please,” he said, gesturing toward the dining table with a gentle nod.

Without another word, he walked ahead, his tall figure calm and commanding. She followed, her steps quiet against the polished floor. When they reached the table, he pulled out a chair for her, an unexpected act of gentleness from a man who radiated power. She sat down, sinking into the plush velvet chair and exhaling deeply, as though she had been holding her breath for far too long.

He took the seat across from her, composed as always. On the outside, he looked like a man in control. But inside, he was anything but. There w

  • DESTINED TO BE QUEEN: LYCAN KING UNEXPECTED MATE    176. THE STORM BETWEEN THEM

    The restaurant was quiet. Soft jazz music played in the background. The candles on the table flickered gently, casting warm shadows across their faces. Shola Taylor sat with her hands resting on her lap, fingers twisting the hem of her dress. She hadn’t touched her wine. Across from her, Chris, her boyfriend, looked just as tense. He was dressed in his usual clean shirt and jacket, but his eyes looked tired. Guilty. His jaw clenched and relaxed every few seconds, like he was preparing to speak and then stopping himself again. Shola couldn’t take it anymore. Her heart was heavy, but not because of him. No, Chris had never hurt her. He had been kind, faithful, and loving for the most part. But her body no longer responded to him. Her mind wasn’t his anymore. And her soul… her soul belonged to someone else. She could still feel the wet ache between her thighs, even now. It had started again the moment she caught the scent of Alec in her thoughts. The Alpha. The stranger who had kis

  • DESTINED TO BE QUEEN: LYCAN KING UNEXPECTED MATE    175. THE KING'S NEEDS AND THE QUEEN'S BURDENS

    “Alright, that’s enough talk about Alec’s new mate,” King Maxwell said firmly, yet with a grin tugging at his lips. His deep voice echoed across the marble courtroom as his children broke into another round of teasing laughter. Alec chuckled too, rubbing the back of his neck. He had been the target of his siblings’ jokes all morning since the news of him finding a mate in the human world broke out. But he didn’t mind, not really. There was a glow in his eyes that hadn’t been there before. Then his expression shifted slightly, thoughtful. “Where is Father Farrell?” he asked, casually, yet the weight of the question made the room fall silent. It was a good question. They all knew Alpha Farrell was supposed to accompany King Maxwell to the Magic Kingdom today. The two rarely made appearances apart unless something had happened. Now, curiosity and concern swept through the children like a sudden breeze. King Maxwell’s smile faded just a little. “He should be on his way,” he replie

  • DESTINED TO BE QUEEN: LYCAN KING UNEXPECTED MATE    174. FAMILY COUNCIL

    THE MAGIC KINGDOM The grand courtroom had just emptied. The heavy wooden doors closed one after another as the council members, warriors, advisors, and nobles filed out. The echo of footsteps faded into silence, leaving behind only the royal family. Queen Delilah rose slowly from her throne. Her shoulders dropped a little as if carrying the weight of many responsibilities. Her long flowing gown trailed behind her as she stepped down and walked toward the royal family table, where her children were already seated. Prince Amanok and Princess Sinai sat side by side. Across from them, Princess Diana sat between Rhea and Beka, all of them in quiet conversation until their mother joined them. The air was heavy with a mix of formality and anticipation. They had been waiting for this meeting to begin ever since the court was adjourned. Each of them had been given unique assignments by their mother, tasks that were crucial to the safety of the Magic Kingdom and the human world alike. “A

  • DESTINED TO BE QUEEN: LYCAN KING UNEXPECTED MATE    172 THE MORNING STORM

    Alec stepped out of the elevator and entered the long, marble-floored hallway of his estate. The cold tiles kissed the soles of his bare feet as he walked, dressed only in grey sweatpants. No shoes. No shirt. Just sweat and heat clinging to his skin after a restless night. Two maids, who were busy dusting the furniture and mopping the floor, froze the moment they saw him. Their eyes widened in shock. They had never seen their master like this before. He never stayed the night at home. Usually, Alec brought meetings to the estate, discussed numbers and deals, and then left again, like a ghost. The house was cold and quiet, always clean, always prepared for a master who rarely lived in it. But this morning was different. He saw the fear on their faces and spoke softly as he passed them, “Good morning to you too.” His voice startled them. They bowed quickly, murmuring greetings, but he had already walked past. In the kitchen, the scent of fresh bread and eggs hung in the air. A m

  • DESTINED TO BE QUEEN: LYCAN KING UNEXPECTED MATE    171. THE NIGHT AFTER THE BOND

    Shola sat on her bed, staring at the wall. Her body was still. Her heart was not. She had turned off the lights, hoping the darkness would help calm her mind. But nothing worked. Not even the cool breeze from the open window. The scent of the night air brought no peace. Her lips still tingled, remembering Alec’s kiss. And her heart… her heart refused to slow down. Her phone buzzed again. Thomas. Her boyfriend of two years. The man who had always been there. Gentle. Safe. Kind. She ignored the call. Tears gathered in her eyes. “What’s wrong with me?” she whispered. She touched her lips, then pulled her hand away quickly as if they burned. She felt dirty. Weak. Guilty. Alec had kissed her. She had let him. No, worse, she had kissed him back. And it felt like her soul was on fire. Her body had responded in ways she didn’t understand. Like it already knew him. Like it belonged to him. And now, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t forget the way he made her feel. She cl
