KAREN’S POV

I 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

  • Loved By The Lycan King    0076: Protective Panic

    ALEX’S POVThe moment I stepped into the Alpha’s chamber, the air itself seemed to recoil—thick with the metallic tang of blood and the suffocating weight of my father’s rage.Alpha Grayson sat like a storm in human flesh, his massive frame hunched over his desk, fingers curled into claws against the wood. Blood smeared across his collar and knuckles—no doubt from the interrogation of some poor bastard who had failed him tonight. He looked ready to kill, and for a brief second, I wondered if he might just go for me.Still, I bowed. You summoned me, Father.He rose from his chair, fury blazing in his eyes. “How dare you,” he snarled. “How dare you let those Shadow Moon filth invade my pack, make a mess of my guards—and worse, allow that girl to escape under our noses!”I kept my expression unreadable, but the sting of his accusation lanced straight through my chest.“I take full responsibility,” I said smoothly, despite the storm churning in my gut. “Our perimeter was compromised. I’ll

  • Loved By The Lycan King    0075: Unraveling Alpha And Unwanted Flutters

    LAILA’S POVI woke with a start, the ache in my head pulsing behind my eyes. The room was dim, only a weak ray of light filtering through. The mattress beneath me was soft—too soft. This wasn’t a cell. The last thing I remembered was going toe-to-toe with Alex, but waking up here only heightened my confusion.It took a moment for my vision to adjust, but when it did, I realized I wasn’t alone. Someone stood by the window, half-hidden in the shadows.I bolted upright, heart thudding."Relax," a voice said, deep and composed.Alex?My breath caught in my throat as I stared at him. He looked nothing like the ruthless Alpha I’d faced earlier in the hallway. His arms were crossed, his posture relaxed—but his eyes… his eyes were a storm of conflict.“Where am I?” I demanded, swinging my legs off the bed, ready to bolt if I had to.“You’re in my room,” he replied quietly, his gaze never leaving mine.I looked around. It was true. The room wasn’t lavish, but it was lived-in—books on the shelf

  • Loved By The Lycan King    0074: The Blame Game

    JACKSON’S POVThe forest swallowed us whole as we moved—silent, swift, shadows among shadows. Every breath I drew was sharp, controlled, but my heart… my heart was a drumbeat of desperation, each thud louder than the last.Laila. Just hold on. Please.The warriors flanked me, Lycans and wolves alike, their rage a living thing, pulsing in the air. We slipped past their security like ghosts, undetected, fanning out toward the eastern wing—where the scout had last seen her. But by the time we breached the perimeter and descended into the dungeons beneath the pack house, Laila was gone.We tore through cell doors, ripped off chains, but every cage was empty. No sign of her. Not even a trace of her scent. It was like she had vanished into thin air.My heart sank. If she wasn’t here, then where was she? What had they done to her? A growl erupted deep in my throat as I paced the place. Now is not the time to panic. We have to make a decision fast.We couldn’t leave without Laila—not tonight.

  • Loved By The Lycan King    0073: Saved

    KAREN’S POVJackson wasn’t alone.From the trees, shadows moved—big, fast, and lethal. Dozens of wolves burst through the underbrush, and with them came Lycans. I recognized them instantly, their sheer size and strength impossible to miss. They weren’t just any warriors—they were Shadow Moon’s elite.And they came for blood.The six Blue Cross Pack wolves that had surrounded me barely had time to react before they were overpowered. One by one, they were taken down—ruthlessly, efficiently. Blood splattered the ground, paws tore through flesh, and the snarls of Shadow Moon’s warriors drowned out everything else.I couldn’t take my eyes off the silver-and-black Lycan tearing through the enemies with terrifying precision. It wasn’t just his strength—it was the rage in his movements. Controlled, focused, deadly.When he finally shifted back to his human form, my breath caught.Liam. Laila’s twin and Jackson’s brother.He stood tall, blood streaked across his bare chest, his expression unre

  • Loved By The Lycan King    0072: Sprinting Towards Salvation

    KAREN’S POVMy heart pounded in my chest as the blaring alarm echoed through the pack house, cutting through the night like a knife. I knew that sound wasn’t meant for me—it was bigger, louder. A full-scale alert. Something was terribly wrong.Laila. Her name tore through my mouth as panic surged through me like a tidal wave. She was still inside. My brave, reckless, selfless Laila, who had come all this way alone just to help me escape.My stomach twisted painfully as a memory of Salma’s lifeless body flashed before my eyes. What if Grayson got to her too? What if… what if she was already—No! I forced the thought out of my head. Laila was strong. She was fast. She had the blood of an Alpha and a warrior’s heart. She had to be okay. She had to.I crouched in the brush, hidden in the shadows like she had taught me, watching the chaos unfold. The scent of fear was thick in the air. I could hear voices shouting, footsteps thundering through the compound. Then, the pack house door burst

  • Loved By The Lycan King    0071: Accidental Babysitter

    ALEX’S POVThe room reeked of sweat and frustration—Laila's sharp, angry scent mixing with my own confusion. My muscles screamed with every block, every dodge, but the burn felt good. Right.She moved like a damn ghost—fast, silent, deadly—but I could feel her wearing down. That slight stumble in her step. The way her breathing hitched just a second too long between strikes.She's getting tired.Her next punch came flying at my face—but there it was again. That tiny hesitation.My body moved before my brain caught up. I caught her wrist mid-air, twisting hard."Ah—!" Her gasp cut through the air like a knife.I yanked her arm behind her back, using her own momentum to slam her into the mats. The impact rattled through her—I felt it in my bones—and a choked sound escaped her lips.I didn’t let up.Before she could twist free, my knee pinned her chest down. Her pulse jackhammered under my grip, her breath coming in ragged bursts. For one frozen second, our eyes locked—hers wide with sho

  • Loved By The Lycan King    0070:Meet The New Problem

    ALEX’S POVThe moment I stepped into the hall, something felt off. I couldn’t put my finger on it, but the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. The packhouse, usually filled with the scent of my father’s plans and the faint, tangy undertones of the magic he so often used, felt unnaturally quiet.I paused in front of Karen’s room, my hand tightening around the doorframe.The guards should’ve been there, watching over her. But the hallway was eerily empty.I cursed under my breath. I’d left them specifically for this—so she wouldn’t try anything stupid. So she wouldn’t think she could escape.I reached for the door, pushing it open with force, only to find the room empty. The bed, untouched. The window, wide open.My heart dropped into my stomach, my chest tightening in an instant.No. No, no, no.I stormed into the room, fists clenched. My wolf was howling in panic, the urgency in his voice echoing in my head. She’s gone.“Damn it,” I muttered, turning and slamming my fist into the w

  • Loved By The Lycan King    0069: My Blood Is Extra

    KAREN’S POVThe air in the dimly lit room was thick with the scent of damp earth and burning herbs—the kind that clung to the back of my throat like smoke. Alpha Grayson loomed before me, his shadow stretching across the stone floor, swallowing the flickering torchlight.His lips curled into a slow, predatory smile, revealing teeth that seemed too sharp, too eager. "Use your blood," he murmured, his voice like gravel dragged over ice. "To complete the potion. With your blood, Karen, I will gain immortality."The moment the words left his mouth, my heart stuttered. A cold, creeping dread slithered down my spine, turning my limbs to lead. My blood—my blood—was the key to his twisted ritual.I swallowed hard, forcing steel into my voice. "Over my dead body." My fingers curled into fists, nails biting into my palms. "You want immortality? Then go to hell and take your dark magic with you."For a heartbeat, he said nothing—just stared at me in silence. Then—His expression twisted, a grote

  • Loved By The Lycan King    0068: Don't Get Caught

    LAILA’S POVI clung to the shadows, my fingers brushing the rough brick as I edged closer to the training grounds. The voices of two guards reached me, their words sharp, laced with something ugly."She’s not going to last long in there."The first guard spat on the ground, his boot scuffing dirt as he leaned against a crate of rusted weapons. His face was hard, unfeeling. "You saw what Alpha Grayson did to the last girl who tried to run."The second guard—taller, with a jagged scar running down his jaw—let out a low, humorless laugh. "She’s not just any girl. She’s the one from Shadow Moon. The white wolf." He lowered his voice, but I caught every word, each one like ice sliding down my spine. "Grayson has plans for her—dark ones."My breath hitched.Karen. She was really here—and in trouble. And she wasn’t just a prisoner. She was prey.The guards moved off, their laughter grating against my skull. I waited until their footsteps faded before slipping deeper into the heart of the com
