JACKSON’S POV

She 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.

  • Loved By The Lycan King    0177: Unpacking Our Trauma

    ALEX’S POVI took a good look at Noah standing there now that we were face to face. His hair was longer than I remembered, tied messily at the back. Same arrogant stance, same twisted smirk on his face. Like he was proud of what he’d done, like he was ready to finish what he started months ago.“You came back,” he sneered, shrugging off his jacket. “Didn’t think you had it in you, brother.”I took a slow step forward, my claws already out, my wolf scratching just beneath the surface. I didn’t come back. I came to end this.He laughed. “End what, exactly? Your miserable existence once and for all?”I didn’t reply. Talking to him was like talking to poison.“You should’ve stayed gone,” he said, circling me now like a predator. “Father was going to let you rot, but you just had to crawl your way back into our lives. Thought you could be some hero?”“No,” I said, stepping into his path. “I don’t need to be a hero. I just need to stop a monster.”Claws clashed with a screech of metal again

    KAREN’SThe sting on my cheek burned hot, and my vision blurred as I spat out blood onto the freezing floor. My whole body trembled—not from fear, but from rage.Alpha Grayson loomed in front of me, cold eyes locked on mine as he repeated the demand I’d heard too many times already.My cheek stung from the slap, my vision blurry as I spat blood on the cold floor. My body trembled, but it wasn’t fear—it was fury.“If you don’t give me what I want,” he said with cold eyes, “I’ll kill you before your precious mate Jackson even gets a whiff of where you are.”“I’d rather die than help you,” I spat back.The back of Noah’s hand struck me so hard my head whipped to the side. Pain burst across my face as I dropped to my knees. Grayson didn’t even flinch.“If she continues this attitude,” Grayson muttered as he turned to Noah, “end her.”Then he walked out like I was nothing more than trash.Noah crouched in front of me, eyes glinting with something dark and twisted. “You heard the man. I hav

  • Loved By The Lycan King    0175:My New Family

    ALEX’S POVThe snapping of dry wood filled the air as warriors gathered more logs for the fire, the sharp cracks echoing through the silent night. Each sound was steady, rhythmic—unnervingly normal. But my thoughts were anything but.I sat on the hood of my car, the cold metal biting into my thighs, my fingers curled into fists so tight my knuckles ached. The darkness stretched ahead of us, swallowing the road like a gaping maw, endless and suffocating. The deeper the night grew, the heavier the weight in my chest became, pressing down until I could barely breathe.I was going back.Back to the place I once called home. Back to the two monsters who shared my blood but had never once treated me like a son. Like a brother. Alpha Grayson and Noah. My father. My brother. By blood? Maybe. By choice? Never.Blood doesn’t make you family. Family doesn’t carve wounds into one son just to lift another. Family doesn’t sneer at you for being different, for daring to question their cruelty. Famil

    LAILA’S POVThe moment the strategy meeting ended, the group dispersed like shadows melting into the dusk. My pulse thrummed in my throat as my gaze swept over the parked trucks, searching—until I found him.Alex.He stood beside his truck, the fading sunlight painting his face in streaks of gold and shadow. His fingers twisted the cap off a water bottle with slow, deliberate movements, his shoulders tense beneath the weight of unspoken memories.The sight of him—so outwardly composed, yet so clearly at war inside—sent a sharp ache through my chest. I swallowed hard and stepped forward, the crunch of gravel beneath my boots the only sound between us.He turned before I even spoke, his dark eyes flickering with something raw before softening at the sight of me."Hey," he murmured, holding out the water bottle without a word.My fingers brushed his as I took it, lingering just a second too long—just enough to feel the warmth of his skin, the roughness of his knuckles. A silent reassuran

    Jackson’s POVI couldn’t speak at first. My throat locked up. I might’ve been Alpha now, but in that moment, I was just a son—a son standing in the shadow of the man who always showed up when it mattered.I stepped forward and hugged him. Hard. "Thank you," I whispered into his shoulder. "For everything."He gripped my shoulder when we pulled apart. "Let’s go get your girl."Then another voice, softer but strong in its own way, called from behind."I hope you’re not all leaving without saying goodbye to me."Mom stood in the doorway of the pack house, hands clasped in front of her. There were tears in her eyes, but her chin didn’t tremble. Not even once."Bring my daughter-in-law home," she said. "And all of you—come back to me. Safe."One by one, we went to her. She kissed our foreheads like she was sealing a blessing over each of us. Even Alex and Logan. She brushed away her tears before they could fall.And as I looked at the people standing around me—our fiercest warriors, our clo

  • Loved By The Lycan King    0172: The More, The Merrier

    JACKSON’S POVThe pack house courtyard felt like a storm brewing in real time—boots pounding the dirt, the sharp slide of steel being drawn, wolves growling low under their breath. The air reeked of sweat, guns loaded with silver and wolfsbane, and something sharper: adrenaline.My pulse matched the chaos around me, thundering like war drums in my chest. Ryan, my Beta and the one guy who’d been through every ugly corner of life with me, appeared at my side. His face was hard, focused—all business.“We’re ready,” he said, voice low but clipped with tension. “Just waiting on your word.”I didn’t even get a chance to answer before Liam jogged up, tugging on his leather jacket like it owed him money. His eyes were locked in, jaw clenched with the same barely contained fury I felt clawing at my insides.“I’m coming,” he said, leaving no room for debate.I blew out a breath through my nose. Figured you would.Then I heard her—quick footsteps, all fire and stubborn pride.Laila.She came str
