Loved By The Lycan King 0021: It's Complicated
KAREN’S POVThe scream tore from my throat before I even realized I was awake.My fingers twisted in the sheets, damp with sweat, my lungs heaving like I’d been running for miles. The dream—his face, his touch—still burned behind my eyelids, seared into me like a brand.Alex.His name slithered through my mind, unwanted, aching.I could still feel him—his breath hot against my lips, his fingers tracing my jaw with a tenderness that made my stomach knot. The dream had been too real.The lake, the moonlight, the way his voice had dropped to a rough whisper—"Karen." Just my name. And for one horrifying second, I had leaned into it. Into him.I gagged, scrambling upright, my skin crawling.No. No, no, no.The room spun. My heartbeat was a wild, erratic drum against my ribs, so loud I could hear it in my skull. I pressed a trembling hand to my chest, as if I could physically claw the feeling out.What the hell is wrong with me?The floor was icy under my bare feet, but it didn’t help. The

KAREN’S POVI was still battling with my feelings when the first wave of my heat crashed into me like a wildfire—sudden and all-consuming. My skin burned, feverish and slick with sweat, every nerve ending alive with a desperate, aching need.My muscles trembled—not from exhaustion, but from the sheer effort of not collapsing, not giving in. No. Not now. Not like this. My nails dug into my palms, the sharp sting of pain a fleeting distraction from the storm inside me. But my wolf was already pacing beneath my skin, restless, wild, her instincts clawing at my control like a caged beast.And Jackson—oh gods, Jackson—was the last person I could face in this state.Yet fate had a cruel sense of humor. That same evening, his parents had invited me to dinner—a gesture of gratitude for healing their sick pack members. The irony was almost laughable. Here I was, barely holding myself together, expected to sit through a meal as if my body wasn’t screaming for release, as if my blood wasn’t molt

KAREN’S POVThe world swayed beneath me as I stumbled toward the pack house, each step a battle against the firestorm raging inside my veins. My legs trembled—weak, unsteady—as if my bones had turned to liquid.The cold night air should have soothed me, but it only made the heat under my skin burn fiercer, sharper. Every breath came in shallow gasps, my lungs too tight, too raw. My clothes clung to me, damp with sweat, the fabric chafing against my overheated skin. The weight of my own body was too much. Just a little farther.I slipped through the side entrance, praying to the Moon Goddess that no one would see me like this—weak, unraveling, barely holding myself together. I couldn’t face Jackson. Not now. Not when my body ached with need, when my thoughts were thick with the fog of my heat. The memory of his scent—warm cedar and wild earth—flashed through my mind, and I bit my lip hard enough to taste blood.No. Not him. Not yet.I dragged myself toward my doorstep, my fingers scrap

JACKSON’S POVShe ran. Again.Every damn time I reached for her, she flinched away like my touch burned. But this—this was worse. The scent of her heat clung to the air, thick and intoxicating, wrapping around my lungs like a noose.She should have been trembling for me, begging for me. Instead, she was running. And then she had the nerve to throw his name in my face.Alex.The name slithered through my skull, venomous. Who the hell was he? Some past lover? A mate? The thought sent a violent pulse of heat through my veins. My claws dug into my palms, the sharp sting doing nothing to dull the fire in my chest.Too many questions. No answers.A snarl ripped from my throat as I kicked a rotted log, splintering it into jagged pieces. The frustration was a living thing inside me, gnawing at my ribs, demanding release. Karen was the only one who could give me the truth—but she was too busy running.Yet, even through the fury, instinct roared louder. She was vulnerable. Exposed.An unmated s

KAREN’S POVThe days after Jackson’s ultimatum blurred together—a haze of restless nights, clenched fists, and the suffocating weight of unspoken words. I kept to myself, locked away in my room like a wounded animal, licking invisible wounds.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw him. Jackson. The way his jaw had tightened when I hesitated, the coldness in his gaze when he walked away.And then there was her. That doe-eyed Sarah.She crawled into every space I wasn’t, her laughter too bright, her touches too lingering. I’d catch glimpses of them—her fingers brushing his arm, her lips curving into a smirk when she noticed me watching. She wasn’t just flirting. She was staking a claim.And the worst part? Jackson let her. Maybe to punish me. Maybe because he was done waiting. Either way, it burned.I told myself I didn’t care. That this aching in my chest wasn’t jealousy, wasn’t hurt—just frustration. But the lie tasted bitter on my tongue.I hadn’t spoken to him in two days. Two days of s

LAILA’S POVThe air shifts when Karen enters the room.It’s subtle—a quiet disturbance, like the hush before a storm. She moves differently now, shoulders hunched, eyes darting but never landing. That fire she used to carry, the one that made her stand tall even when the world tried to break her? Gone. Snuffed out.And Jackson? God, my brother is worse.He’s always been steady—unshakable, like stone. But now? Now, he’s snapping at people for no reason, pacing around like he’s ready to explode. He used to be calm, in control. Now? He’s restless. Unsettled. And I know it’s because of her.I don’t know what’s going on between them, but I know something is. You don’t look at someone the way my brother looks at Karen unless you really care. And whatever’s happening now, it’s hurting him.The night I found Karen outside, stumbling and barely able to stand, I didn’t ask questions. I just got her inside, helped her to bed, gave her some water. She looked… broken. And that scared me more than

KAREN’S POVIt had been a few days since things had started to spiral out of control. Each day, it was getting harder to push away the overwhelming desire to give in. The pull toward Alex was so strong that I could feel it in my bones—a constant ache deep within me that no tonic, no distraction, seemed to ease.I had tried everything to fight it—keeping my distance from Jackson, burying myself in work, forcing myself to focus on anything that wasn’t the burning need to be with Alex. But it wasn’t enough. The spell, the magic—it was too strong. It was all-consuming.One night, when I couldn’t take it anymore, I slipped out of the pack house. The moonlight bathed the land in an ethereal glow as I walked away, each step pulling me closer to our meeting point. To Alex.I should’ve known better. I should’ve stayed. But I couldn’t help it. The thought of being with him again… it was like a siren’s call, and I was powerless to resist.I grabbed my phone, hands trembling, and dialed the numbe

Karen’s POVBefore I could react, he pulled me into his chest, holding me tightly. For a brief moment, I wanted to resist, to fight him off, but in his arms, I felt safe. I felt the pull toward Alex warring with Jackson’s arms around me. All I could focus on was Jackson’s warmth, his breath against my skin, and the way his presence seemed to surround me, making everything else fade away.He lowered his head, and before I could protest, his lips crashed against mine. It wasn’t soft or gentle; it wasn’t a comforting kiss. It was fierce and desperate, as if he were trying to anchor me to him, to drag me away from whatever spell had been cast over me.I tried to push him away, but my body didn’t listen. My hands clung to his shoulders, pulling him closer, as if I were the one giving in. His tongue swept over my lips, and I opened to him without thinking. The moment our mouths met fully, it was like a floodgate opened. All the pent-up feelings, confusion, and frustration poured out. It was

JACKSON’S POVThe second Karen walked out, the room felt too small. I couldn’t breathe right. My feet started moving before my brain caught up, pacing like a trapped animal, my boots scraping against the old wood floors. The door hadn’t fully closed—a thin line of light from the hallway cut through the dark.Maybe she’ll come back when she cools off. But it was a dumb thought because she never did. I stood there and watched her storm away, thinking, Maybe she’d turn around, burst back in, and tell me she found another way. That she didn’t have to go back to him.Alex.Just his name lit a fire in my blood. My hands clenched so tight my nails dug into my palms. I could still see the way he looked at her at the border—like she was his to take back. Like he still owned her.Not while I’m breathing.But then, my father. The strongest man I knew. The one who’d led us through every fight without flinching. Now? His hands shook when no one was looking. His voice cracked when Silas’ name came

KAREN’S POVXavier didn’t speak at first. He just stood there by the window, his massive frame tense, staring at the darkening sky like it held all the answers. The study smelled like old books and the coming storm, heavy with things neither of us wanted to say out loud.When he finally turned to me, his dark eyes weren’t just tired—they were haunted. The kind of worry that sinks deep into a person’s bones and stays there."My brother being back... it changes everything," he said, his voice rough like he’d been shouting for hours.A chill ran down my spine. Silas. Just thinking his name made my heart skip.Xavier clenched his fists, the muscles in his arms standing out sharply. "He’s dangerous, Karen. More than you realize." His voice dropped to a growl. "I’ve kept this from the pack—even from my own kids—because I thought we had more time. But now..."He let out a heavy breath, his shoulders sagging like the weight of the world was crushing him. "I need my Lycan back. I need to be st

LAILA’S POVThe afternoon sun beat down on the training arena, baking the sand under my bare feet until it burned. My knuckles were raw, my muscles screaming, but I didn’t stop. Couldn’t stop. Marcus—one of our best fighters—circled me, his dark eyes locked on mine as we traded blows.Every punch I blocked, every hit I landed, proved what I already knew—I belonged here just as much as any of them.Then I felt it. That icy crawl down my spine.Silas.I didn’t need to look to know he’d shown up. His presence was like oil in water—slick, unnatural, impossible to ignore. I kept my focus on Marcus, but my next block came half a second too slow, sending me stumbling back."Well, well," came that smooth, mocking voice from the sidelines. "Look at the little she-wolf playing soldier. How... adorable."My teeth ground together so hard I tasted copper.Marcus hesitated, his eyes flicking past me. I didn’t turn. Wouldn’t give him the satisfaction.Silas’s laugh was like nails on a chalkboard. "N

KAREN’S POVThe house was too quiet—not the comfortable kind of quiet, but the kind that made my ears ring. Like everyone was holding their breath, waiting for something bad to happen. I sat curled up in Jackson’s armchair, a book open in my lap, but I hadn’t read a single word in the last twenty minutes. My fingers kept tracing the edge of the page, restless.Silas.Just thinking his name made my skin crawl. That man—it wasn’t just the way he watched everyone with those sharp, knowing eyes, or how he walked around like he already owned the place. It was the way the air turned cold when he entered a room.I swallowed hard and forced my eyes back to the book. Focus, Karen. You’re safe here. But the thought didn’t help. The pack was strong. Jackson’s family had wrapped me in warmth and protection—Luna Hannah’s kind smiles, Alpha Xavier’s steady presence. But underneath it all, something ugly slithered through the cracks, like the first frost warning of winter.The door creaked open.My

LAILA’S POVDinner used to be warm. Loud. Filled with laughter, teasing, and the occasional scolding when Jackson or Liam tried to sneak an extra dessert before finishing their veggies. But tonight? Tonight, dinner was cold—despite the food being hot.I sat stiffly at the end of the table, picking at my potatoes like they had personally offended me. My eyes flicked around the room, noting the tension in every set of shoulders, the silence that weighed heavier than any words could. And then there was him.Silas.He was seated directly across from me, already on his third helping, eating like he hadn’t had a meal in years—which, to be fair, might not have been too far from the truth. Still, the way he shoveled food into his mouth with so little shame made my stomach turn."Mmm!" he said between bites, slapping the table like this was the best restaurant in town. “Now this is what I missed! A good home-cooked meal. Not that processed crap they serve in exile.”No one responded.Jackson k

XAVIER’S POVThe study door closed behind me with a quiet click, but nothing could quiet the storm raging inside my head. My heart pounded so hard I could feel it in my throat, each beat screaming one name: Silas.After twenty years of nightmares, after decades praying to forget him—he was back. And this time, he was staying.I ran a shaky hand through my hair, gripping it tight. My study usually calmed me—the smell of old books and leather—but now the air felt too thick to breathe. My heart pounded inside me, restless and angry. The fire crackled like it sensed danger too.Then I heard the door open softly.Hannah.She stood there in her robe, gripping it so tight her knuckles were white. Her face was pale, but her eyes… her blue eyes burned with quiet fury."He can't stay, Xavier."No begging. No questions. Just steel in her voice.I braced myself against the desk, my fingers digging into the wood. "I know," I rasped.She stepped closer. Normally, her strawberry scent soothed me. No

JACKSON’S POVThe door clicked shut behind us, sealing away the warmth of the evening sun. Karen’s fingers slipped between mine, her skin humming with the lingering thrill of our time in town. She swayed slightly, her laughter still fresh in the air between us—sweet and light, like the scent of wildflowers clinging to her hair.We’d barely taken three steps into the house when I felt it—that shift in the air.Karen stilled beside me. “Jackson…” she whispered.My eyes snapped toward the living room.That’s when I saw him.A man stood there, right in the center of the room like he fucking belonged here—like this was his house and we were the guests. His presence was wrong. Not rogue-wrong. Not Alpha-wrong. Something older. His aura curled around the room, heavy and dark, sending a ripple through my wolf.Tall. Lean. Silver threads streaked through his black hair, but his back was straight, and his presence screamed danger. His eyes, though—those eyes were the same deep green as my fathe

KAREN’S POVThe dress fit me like it was made just for me—soft as clouds, light as air, the fabric swirling around my knees when I moved. It wasn’t just clothes. It felt like becoming someone new. Or maybe... finally becoming myself.I stepped out of the dressing room, smoothing the fabric with shaky hands. My heart pounded so hard I could hear it. Would Jackson like it? Did I care? Yeah. I cared way too much—more than I was willing to admit.Jackson’s head snapped up the second I walked out. His lips parted slightly. For a long moment, he didn’t move or speak—just stared at me with those dark eyes growing even darker.“Damn.” The word came out rough, like it got stuck in his throat. He shook his head slowly. “You look...” He took a step closer. “Perfect.”My face burned. “You have to say that—you’re my mate,” I teased, but my voice cracked.His fingers brushed my cheek as he tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear, so gentle it made my chest ache. “I’m saying it because it’s true

KAREN’S POVThe sound of heavy footsteps faded upstairs as the boys disappeared to shower. I wrapped my hands around my coffee mug, letting the warmth soak into my skin while Luna Hannah worked at the stove. The smell of sizzling bacon mixed with the rich coffee aroma, the fat popping like little firecrackers in the pan.Just as I was relaxing into the cozy kitchen atmosphere, Laila's voice cut through the air—sharp and full of attitude."Ugh, boys."She marched in, her long braid swinging behind her like a whip. Her workout clothes were covered in dirt and grass stains, like she'd just come from war—though knowing Laila, a simple training session might as well be a battlefield.She flopped onto the stool next to me with an exaggerated sigh and grabbed a cookie."You'd think Jackson would learn by now not to steal someone's victory cookie just because he got the last hit in," she grumbled, taking a big bite.I hid my smile behind my coffee cup.
