MAYA

By the time Finn turned into the driveway that led to the Ashbourne Wolves’ Pack house, the place I used to call home, the sun had started to set. I bit back a pang in my chest at the familiar sight of the stone manor stretching below.

I sat paralyzed in the passenger seat with fisted hands on my lap. The burden of returning was so heavy on my shoulders that I could barely move.

Finn looked me in the eye, and his warm, chestnut-coloured gaze caught the hesitation in my gaze. He placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder. “Do you want me to go in with you?”

I nodded, thinking I would be dead by now if not for him. “Please,” I forced a whisper.

The gravel crunched beneath my feet as we got out and walked up to the front door. My heart pounded with fear, and my hand shook as I grasped the door handle. Finn put his hand over mine and smiled gently at me. “You ready?” he asked, although we both knew I wasn’t.

Do I look like I’m ready? Oh Goddess, how am I going to face them? I shouldn’

  • Lycan King's Cursed and Rejected Mate   Chapter#87

    MAYAAs I made my way back to the car, my steps were slower than usual, and my mind was tangled in a knot of conflicting emotions. Should I be happy that Kael still thinks about me, or angry that he dared to send a message through Tobias after everything he'd done? The words Tobias had relayed echoed in my head, stirring up a mix of old hurt and resentment. I didn't want to give Kael the satisfaction of knowing he'd gotten under my skin… again.When I reached the car, Finn was exactly where I'd left him, pacing back and forth along the gravel path. His broad shoulders were tense, and he kept glancing toward the council hall as if expecting trouble to come bursting out at any moment. The sight of him like that, worried for me, made something warm unfold in my chest, pushing back the lingering sting from Tobias's encounter.As soon as I looked up and met his eyes, that deep, genuine concern shining in them was enough to soothe the storm raging inside me. It reminded me why I was here

    MAYAEven after all these years, Tobias was still the same. Panic surged through me. Without thinking, I ducked low, practically diving into Finn's lap to hide."Beta Tobias," Beta Alaric called from the driver's seat, rolling down his window. "To what do we owe this visit from the Obsidian Throne? You're a long way from home. A report could've sufficed.""I know," Tobias replied with an easy chuckle. "But Luna Seraphina personally requested the Lycan Leader's presence. After Alpha Darius's sacrifice, saving Elder Thorne Ashvale, Kael feels obliged, especially given the debt owed.""I see," Alaric said in a neutral tone.Why would Mom request Kael? I pressed closer to Finn, willing Tobias to leave.Finn stirred awake, blinking groggily at my awkward position. "Maya? What's wrong? Why are you—""Shh," I whispered urgently.Tobias's voice cut in smoothly. "Alpha Heir, you’re looking quite well. It’s nearly hard to believe you've seen the inside of a dungeon. I should know your secret?"

    MAYA"I can't believe I'm back here," I murmured as we crossed the long bridge that marked the border between the human world and Ashbourne Pack territory. The familiar pine trees rose on either side, unchanged after all these years. "Everything looks… the same."Finn reached over from the driver's seat, squeezing my hand gently. "Welcome home, Maya."We drove in silence for a while. I stared out the window, trying to focus on the passing scenery instead of the sadness creeping into my chest. This time, Dad wouldn't be here, and the thought hit harder than I expected."We're here," Finn said softly, pulling me from my thoughts.I looked up. The packhouse loomed ahead. Outside stood Beta Alaric, flanked by several pack guards. I checked my reflection in the side mirror one last time, smoothing my hair, before stepping out. Finn was at my side in an instant. His arm was steady around my waist as if he sensed my legs might give way.Beta Alaric approached immediately with that familiar

    SELENEThe room spun violently around me.My fingers dug into the edge of the wooden table. For one agonizing moment, I couldn’t breathe. Couldn’t think. Couldn’t even move.Then the emotions crashed over me like a tidal wave: shock freezing my lungs solid, fear turning my blood to ice, and finally a searing anger that coursed through every vein, pooling into a dark, burning hatred deep in my heart.Four years. Four fucking years I spent clawing my way back from the humiliation of that deviant’s disappearance. Four years of scheming, seducing, pretending, convincing myself I could make Kael forget her. And now she’s back?After a long, trembling pause, I drew in a shaky breath and turned to the guard. I forced my face into perfect neutrality, masking the storm raging inside.“When?” I asked, voice steady as glass. “Where did you see her?”“I overheard Beta Tobias informing the Lycan Leader this morning,” the guard replied, keeping his voice low. “She arrived with the Alpha Heir of Ash

    SELENEI sat at the long, polished dining table in the Silvermere Packhouse, absentmindedly chewing on my perfectly manicured nails. It was a nervous habit my mother had spent years scolding me for, but right now I couldn’t stop. The late afternoon sun poured through the tall arched windows, gilding everything in warm gold, yet it did nothing to thaw the ice in my veins.My mother paced the length of the room like a caged predator. Her heels clicked sharply against the marble floor. Her voice rose and fell in that familiar rhythm of disapproval I’d grown up with. My father stood in his usual corner with his arms crossed. He rarely spoke when she was like this. I wished, just once, he’d step in.“Have you no shame, Selene?” Mother snapped, whirling to face me. Her eyes glinted with frustration. “You’re not doing enough. That’s why Alpha Kael still hasn’t made you his Luna. Do you even understand why?”I stared at my hands, silent.“Because you’re failing at the most basic duty of a w

    MAYA“Hey,” Finn murmured, pressing me closer against his chest. “Are you alright? Can I get you anything?”“No,” I shook my head slowly. “H-How did he die? Was he sick?”Finn hesitated just a fraction, but I felt it in the way his arms tightened.“He wasn’t sick,” he said quietly. “They were returning from the Annual Moon Goddess Worship Ceremony when Ferals attacked. A dozen of them, maybe more. They killed a hundred warriors, Alphas, six elders, and injured others badly.”“Kael’s grandfather?” I asked.“Yes. Elder Eldric. He’s the only high-ranking survivor they’ve confirmed so far. A few Alphas ran when it started, but your father… he stayed, and fought. He took wounds meant for Eldric.”A faint, bittersweet smile tugged at my lips despite everything. “That sounds like Dad. Always the sense of duty, and loyalty above everything.”Finn nodded against my hair. “How are Mom and Isla?” I asked.“They’re… not good,” he admitted, sighing. “Especially Luna Seraphina. She’s barely holdin
