KAREN’S POV

It 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

    KAREN’S POVThe request hit me like a wave, knocking the breath from my lungs. I knew, deep down, this was part of what would seal the bond between us—what would solidify us as mates, not just in the magic that had drawn us together, but in our hearts.I took a step closer to him, feeling the weight of his words and the heaviness of what I was about to do. His gaze was steady, unwavering, and I could sense his need, his own struggle with the pull between us.I reached for the collar of his shirt, fingers trembling slightly as I pulled it aside, exposing the skin of his neck. He closed his eyes, almost as if surrendering to the moment, to the connection we had both been fighting for.With a deep breath, I leaned in, my lips brushing over the spot where I knew his mark would go. My heart pounded in my chest as I felt the bond between us tug forward, the connection deepening in ways I hadn’t expected.I let my wolf surge forward, my mouth reshaping as teeth shifted into sharp fangs.

    KAREN’S POVThe hard forest floor was cool beneath my bare skin, unlike the fire Jackson was stoking inside me. My breath hitched as he yanked his shirt over his head, muscles flexing with the motion, and tossed it aside without care.For a fleeting second, I drank in the sight of him—the hard planes of his abdomen, the powerful curve of his arms—before he was on me again, his body pressing me into the floor.His lips crashed against mine, hot and demanding, before trailing down my jaw, his teeth grazing my earlobe. A shiver tore through me, my fingers digging into his shoulders as I arched against him. Gods, his touch. Every brush of his skin against mine sent electric sparks dancing along my nerves, setting my blood ablaze.“Jackson—” His name spilled from my lips in a breathless moan as his mouth moved lower, sucking and nipping at my throat. My nails scraped down his back, earning a low growl from him that vibrated against my skin.His tongue flicked over his mark—my mark—and a sh

    ALEX’S POVThe room felt like a prison—too small, too suffocating, the walls pressing in as I paced like a beast trapped in a cage. The wooden floor groaned under the weight of my boots, each creak a sharp echo of my fury. Outside, the sky was still a void of black, but dawn would bleed through soon. And still, no sign of Karen.Where the hell is she?My jaw locked so tight my teeth ached. I dragged a hand through my hair, gripping until the pain shot through my scalp. She was supposed to be here. Mine. Under my control, away from him—that bastard who thought he could steal what belonged to me. Alpha King or not, he had no fucking right to be near what’s mine.I stopped mid-step when I heard it—footsteps. Familiar, hesitant, coming down the hall toward my door.Finally, I thought to myself, a smile pulling at the corner of my lips.The knock came, soft. Too soft. Like the bastard already knew he was about to deliver bad news."Enter," I growled.The door creaked open, and there he sto

    JACKSON’S POVThe first thing I noticed when I opened my eyes was her fiery red hair spread across my chest. For a second, I just lay there, soaking it in. Last night felt almost like a dream. After I marked and claimed her in the forest, we came back to her place, and I couldn’t bear to leave her side, so I stayed.She’s really mine. After everything—after the fight, the chase, the fear that Alex would take her from me—she was right here in my arms, where she belonged.I reached out, brushing her hair back from her face, my fingers trailing softly over her freckled cheek. She stirred slightly but didn’t wake. I couldn’t keep my hands off her, not even if I tried. I was like a moth drawn to a flame. That’s when I saw them—scars. Faded bruises. Thin, angry lines crisscrossing her skin, as if she’d been whipped over and over.My stomach twisted. What the hell did those people do to her?Suddenly, it all made sense—why she flinched at loud noises, why she hesitated before speaking, why s

    JACKSON’S POVThe soft drip-drip of water from Karen’s hair filled the quiet room as she towel-dried it, the scent of lavender soap clinging to her skin. I sifted through her small pile of clothes, wanting to pick something soft, something pretty for her to wear. But the moment my fingers brushed against the fabric, my chest tightened.Everything was worn.Faded colors, threads fraying at the edges, a sweater with a hole near the seam—stitched back together with clumsy, determined hands. My fingers curled around a thin cotton dress, the fabric so delicate it threatened to tear under my grip. The hem had been carefully mended, the stitches uneven but stubborn.This was all she had.A sharp ache cut through me, raw and furious. Karen had been treated like an afterthought in her old pack—given scraps, ignored, hurt. And yet, she’d survived. She was here, with me, still standing despite everything.“Are you sure it’s okay for you to be here right now? I mean, what if your parents are worr

    LAILA’S POV“Sarah, wait!” My voice cracked, raw with desperation, but she didn’t stop. She just kept running—faster, harder—as if she could outrun the pain if she moved quickly enough.I finally caught her behind the training shed, where the scent of sweat and the sound of groans clung to the air. Her back was turned to me, shoulders hunched, fingers digging into her own arms like she was trying to hold herself together. The soft, broken sounds of her sobs tore at something deep inside me.“Hey…” I whispered, stepping closer, my voice as gentle as a summer breeze. I reached out, fingertips barely grazing her arm.She turned, and my chest ached at the sight of her. Tears streaked down her cheeks. Her eyes—usually so bright and full of mischief—were red-rimmed and swollen. Her bottom lip trembled, and she bit down on it, as if that could stop the tears.“I know,” I murmured, pulling her into me before she could crumble completely. Her arms wound around my waist, clutching me like I was

    JACKSON’S POVThe rest of the day slipped by rather slowly—like sunlight filtering through an autumn sky. Karen stayed by my side, her fingers occasionally brushing against mine, as if she needed the constant reassurance that this moment between us was real and not some dream she might be forced to wake up from.Every time someone called her sister or daughter, her eyes flickered with something fragile—wonder, disbelief, a quiet ache for all the years she’d been denied this. It made my chest tighten.Dinner was the usual chaos—plates clattering, voices overlapping, laughter ringing off the walls. Laila had returned from training without Sarah. I’m guessing she went home. Whatever happened earlier with her was still a mystery to me, but I sure as hell had every intention of finding out what went down with Laila. Much later, though. For the moment, I had to focus on dinner.Laila, ever the mischievous one, kept sneaking pieces of steak from Liam’s plate, her smirk sharp as a blade. He p

    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

  • Loved By The Lycan King    0047:Bad Vibes

    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. "So you let him win?"Her grin turned wi
