JACKSON’S POV

The 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

  • Loved By The Lycan King    0064: Dinner And Destruction

    JACKSON’S POVThe walls of my room felt like they were closing in, pressing against my ribs with every ragged breath I took. My boots thudded against the hardwood floor—back and forth, back and forth—the rhythm of a predator trapped in a cage.My wolf snarled beneath my skin, claws raking against my insides, demanding blood, demanding her. Karen.The moment she stepped foot back into Blue Cross territory, something inside me snapped. I told her not to go. I begged her. But she had that stubborn set to her jaw, that fire in her eyes—the same fire that made me fall for her in the first damn place."I have to do this, Jackson." Her voice echoed in my skull, soft but unyielding. "For your father. For the cure."And now she was gone.My phone was in my hand before I even realized I’d grabbed it. I hit her number—again—knowing full well what would happen.One ring. Two. Then—"The person you are trying to reach—"I crushed the phone in my grip, the plastic casing cracking under the pressure.

  • Loved By The Lycan King    0063: That Escalated Quickly

    KAREN’S POVThe second Alpha Grayson’s voice cut through the darkness, my blood turned to ice in my veins.No. No no no—He stood silhouetted in the moonlight, his massive frame blocking our escape path. But he wasn’t alone. From the shadows beside him, Alex materialized like a nightmare I couldn’t wake up from. His face was blank, empty—like he was just waiting for orders.Then I saw the third figure step forward.Noah.My stomach dropped straight to my feet.Please, please not him."Please," I begged, my voice cracking as I shoved Salma behind me. My hands were shaking so badly I could barely keep them raised. "Just let us go. Whatever you want—money, information, anything—I’ll give it to you. Just don’t—"Grayson’s laugh was like gravel in a steel drum. "Let you go?" His obsidian eyes gleamed under the moonlight, completely unmoved by my terror. "Karen, darling, we’re just getting started. How could I possibly let you leave now?"Salma’s fingers dug into my wrist hard enough to bru

  • Loved By The Lycan King    0062: Speak Of The Devil

    KAREN’S POVTime blurred. Seconds or minutes—I couldn’t tell. My body still trembled, my fingers digging into the edge of the bed like it was the only thing anchoring me to reality. The walls pressed in, the air thick with the scent of old wood and something metallic—fear, maybe. My own.I swallowed hard, forcing my gaze toward the journal—the one I’d risked everything for.This is it. The cure. The reason I came.My fingers brushed the worn leather cover, the texture familiar beneath my touch. It still carried the faintest trace of lavender and ink—Mom’s scent. A wave of grief hit me so hard my chest ached. I clutched it to me, squeezing my eyes shut for just a second before forcing them open again.No time. No time for this.I flipped through the pages, my pulse roaring in my ears. Her handwriting—so precise, so her—filled every line. Notes on herbs, moon cycles, healing rituals. And then, there it was.The Cure.A shaky breath escaped me. I found it. Xavier can be saved. But as I t

  • Loved By The Lycan King    0061: Escape Room

    KAREN’S POVThe silence after Alex left was deafening—thick, suffocating, pressing against my eardrums like a living thing. The sharp click of the door locking behind him echoed in my skull, each reverberation a cruel reminder of how trapped I was.I pressed my back harder into the cold stone wall, the rough surface biting into my skin even through my clothes. My knees were pulled tight against my chest, arms wrapped around them like a shield. As if I could protect myself from what was coming.Thud. Thud. Thud.His footsteps faded down the hall, slow and deliberate, like he wanted me to hear him leave. Wanted me to know I was alone.And then—nothing.Just the sound of my own ragged breathing, too loud in the suffocating quiet. I lifted my head, eyes scanning the room again. Four walls. One door. No windows. No escape. The dim light from the flickering bulb overhead cast long, jagged shadows, stretching like claws across the floor.What does his father want with me?The thought slither

  • Loved By The Lycan King    0060: Hostage Situation

    ALEX’S POVThe chair groaned beneath me as I leaned back, the old wood creaking like a warning. My fingers drummed against the armrest, slow and deliberate, matching the steady thrum of my pulse.Across the dimly lit room, Karen sat bound to a metal chair, her wrists raw from struggling against the ropes. The scent of sweat and iron clung to the air—her defiance, her fear.Her head was high, though. Always high. Even now.I smirked, tilting my chin as I studied her. The flickering overhead light cast shadows across her face, highlighting the bruise forming on her cheekbone. Her chest rose and fell too fast, her breaths shallow, but her eyes—those damn eyes—still burned with the same fire.Still fighting. Still refusing to break.“You really thought you could sneak in and out of my territory without me knowing?” My voice was smooth, almost amused.She didn’t flinch. Just lifted her chin higher, lips pressing into a thin, bloody line. “Jackson will come for me.”A laugh rumbled deep in

  • Loved By The Lycan King    0059: Things Just Got Wolfy

    JACKSON’S POVMy heart was a wild animal trapped in my chest, pounding against my ribs like it wanted to break free. Each frantic beat screamed the same thing: Move. Find her. Now.Laila kept pace beside me, her breathing sharp and uneven. I could smell the adrenaline rolling off her—that bitter, electric scent of barely contained rage. Her fingers kept flexing at her sides, the way they always did before a fight. I knew exactly what she was imagining—her hands around Alex’s throat, squeezing until that smug smile faded forever.We nearly crashed into Dad at the bottom of the porch steps. He stood like an immovable boulder in the fading evening light, arms crossed over his broad chest. The setting sun behind him cast his face in shadow, but I didn’t need to see his expression to know what was coming."Where are you two going in such a damn hurry?" His voice cut through the thick summer air like a knife.I skidded to a stop, my boots kicking up gravel. Every muscle in my body screamed

  • Loved By The Lycan King    0058: She Promised

    JACKSON’S POVSomething was wrong.I’d been staring at the same damn patrol report for ten minutes when the feeling hit me—that twisting in my gut, the one that always comes right before shit hits the fan. My pen snapped between my fingers.Where’s Karen?The house was too quiet. Normally, by now, she’d have brought me coffee or at least poked her head in to ask when I’d be done. But nothing. Just this… silence.I was out of my chair before I realized I’d moved. Our bedroom door creaked when I shoved it open.“Karen?”It was empty.The bed was made too neatly—the way she only does when she’s anxious. My chest tightened as I checked the bathroom. Still empty. The closet—half her clothes gone.No. No no no.My hands shook as I pulled out my phone. Straight to voicemail. Of course. That’s when the fear turned to anger. Hot, bitter anger that burned my throat.She promised. She fucking promised she wouldn’t do this.I was moving before I could think, storming out of the house like a man p

  • Loved By The Lycan King    0057: Snitch And Ditch

    KAREN’S POVThe minutes dragged by so slowly, it felt like time had stopped. Every tiny sound made me jump—the groan of the floorboards, the wind tapping against the shutters—it all had my nerves fraying at the edges. I crouched behind the old cabinet, clutching my mother’s journal to my chest like it was the only thing keeping me grounded. I couldn’t let myself imagine what would happen if I got caught. I just had to keep still… wait for Salma to come back.But then—something changed.It wasn’t footsteps I heard next. It was a voice. Low. Calm. Too calm. And way too familiar.“I know you’re here, Karen.”I froze. My stomach twisted into knots.Alex.I slapped a hand over my mouth before the gasp could escape. He wasn’t yelling. He wasn’t barking out orders like he used to when he was angry. No—his voice was calm. Controlled. That was worse. It meant he didn’t think I was here.He knew I was.“I could smell you the second I stepped into the hall,” he said, getting closer. “You never d

  • Loved By The Lycan King    0056: Secret Mission

    It had been three days.Three painfully long days where every second felt like it dragged me deeper into helplessness. I couldn’t just sit around doing nothing—not while the people I loved were falling apart. Not when the answer might be hidden somewhere in the past I’d tried so hard to escape.Jackson wouldn’t approve. I already knew that. He’d never let me walk into danger, not willingly. He loved me too much. But this wasn’t about me anymore. It was about his father—about saving a man who had always put his family and pack first. A man who didn’t have much time left.So I made up my mind.That morning, I kissed Jackson goodbye like everything was fine, like I was just heading to my office to sort through some work. The truth? I was trying to throw him off my trail. I needed him not to worry, not to ask questions.Once the sun started setting, I doubled back to our room and packed a small bag—just the basics. No note. No goodbye. If he found out what I was planning, he’d try to stop
