MATED TO THE CURSED LYCAN KING

SIMONE .My hands became shaky, and tears brewed up in my eyes. I refused to believe what fate had in store for me. The reality became way too harsh to handle, and I swallowed hard. My heart was racing in my chest while my eyes remained pinned on the text message on the phone.“I'm pregnant. Let's meet at the usual spot. We have a lot to plan away from your barren mate, of course.” The text read, my heart shattering into a thousand pieces while my eyes glanced over the contents repeatedly.I always knew something was wrong. It's been through my marriage to Marcel; the first two years were blissful, but then he became cold. I'm in my third year, and I wasn't sure what had caused it. I believed it was one of the burdens that came with being alpha.He had spent a few nights out for several months still keeping things away from me. I didn't question his reasons; he was alpha, and more still, I knew my marriage to him had begun teetering at the edge. I couldn't bear to lose him, so I kept

SIMONE.A heavy migraine coupled with the soreness between my thighs was the first feeling that reeled into me. I yawned lazily, pulling myself slowly from the bed.Panic struck me as my hand had brushed over something...hairlike. A loud gasp eased through my lips. Hastily, I blocked my mouth with my palms as a sudden realization dawned on me... I slept with someone, and it wasn't Marcel.I studied the man carefully; he was fast asleep, his thick brows complimenting his squared jaws and point noise, those plump lips of his...I really must have gone mad. Having such audacity to sleep and fantasize about a man that wasn't my husband...Husband,I was brought back to reality. I reached for my phone to see that I had gotten fourteen calls from my father and two from Marcel.“Crap!” I needed to meet with the king today. Slowly yet hastily, I wiggled into my clothes, grabbed my phone, and sprinted across the room towards the main entrance. My heart ached as I took a long and lasting glan

GIOVANNI'S POV.Not once, twice, or thrice had she stolen secret glances at me. I smacked my lips together hungrily. The mere thought of being alone with her made andrelaline pump through my veine, she tensed up after all I had blurted out what came to my mind.The car pulled over, and a sigh eased across my lips as I helped her out of the car; slowly she set her palms into mine.“This is your home now, our new home.” I announced, gloating imwardly with an air of pride,her eyes sparkled with joy—or was it a reflection of being gone from the pack which had basically destroyed her?I grimmaced at the mere thought of it. Each one of them would pay; I'll make them regret setting a finger on her skin; every inch of her body belonged to me alone.“I need rest. We wouldn't stand here all day, would we?” She asked, trying to keep her sarcasm although I had seen her face turn red when I asked that she put me on a leash."Simone,” I called out to her, reaching for her hair and coiling my fing

GIOVANNI'S POV.“Stay away from me!” I retorted, pulling away from her lingering gaze.” Please Simone, not now..I can't I'll! Hurt you” I explained pushing further away .“You want me to have you on a leash, you promised to be my doh!” She snarled back, stopping !e grabbing me by the arms once again,Her touch melted down my spine and I felt so possessive about her, thankfully no one was home, or I would have gauged out any eyes that could see her at this moment.“Please princess, let me leave," I pleaded, but She pushed closer to me, pressing her lips against mine, her eyes staring directly into me.“I'm yours to claim, so go ahead, don't shy away from me Giovanni, I want you just as much as you want me.” She asserted making a town.“ but..”“I won't break, I'm quite strong.” She added in , I glanced at her, hair to toe, grinning before shoving her into my arms, kissing her ,pure hunger engulfing me .She wrapped her arms firmly around my neck as I devoured her lips into mine, kissin

MARCELS POV.Pacing back and forth in the office, sweat trickled down my temples. I wanted to know why he was coming around, but I didn't want him here.“Alpha Marcel, he is here,” my beta Edmond asserted in haste, pushing open the doors.“You can leave now,” I ordered, curtly clearing my throat before relaxing back into the chair. Just as I expected, the door flung open, and Giovanni made his way in with a scowl on his face.“Why are you here on curt notice, aren't you busy being Lycan king?” I asked, not bothering to hide the bitterness of sarcasm in my words.“Isn't it right that I pay my in-laws a visit?“ He responded, a scoff quick to ease across my lips on hearing his response. Who was he fooling with such an irritating response?“The alpha king is away on business; I'm sorry to disappoint you, but its best you return before the day gets dark.” I asserted blindly once again, heading towards the door.“I'm be spending the night here; my men had been worn out from the drive." he
