Mira POV

I was in my chamber, sitting on the edge of my bed, unable to steady my thoughts. Everything that Councilman Ryker revealed kept swirling in my mind like a raging storm.

I thought that after his return, after hearing what he found out, I would have a sense of clarity. But all I had was more confusion.

I folded my arms around myself and leaned against the bedpost, staring blankly at the opposite wall.

Everything pointed to witches. All the signs — the strange magic, the explosions without gunpowder or other explosives, the way the lycans disappeared without a trace and had their memories wiped — all of it pointed to something unnatural. Something powerful.

Something that only witches were once capable of.

I found myself gnawing at my bottom lip, a nervous habit I hadn’t been able to break since I was a little girl.

If witches were truly extinct, if Ryker was right about what he saw and heard in Darkfire clan, then who, or what, was responsible for everything happenin

  • Mated To My Enemies! Lycan Kings Obsession    Among the witches

    Mira’s POVThe moment I stepped across the threshold of the manor, I felt it—the pulse of magic beneath my feet. It wasn’t violent or overwhelming. It was subtle, almost calming. Like the house itself was breathing.The three women who had brought me here moved ahead without speaking. I followed them into a wide parlour draped in deep forest greens and silver-stitched curtains. Soft lanterns floated midair, casting warm light across bookshelves, cauldrons, and what looked like potted herbs glowing faintly from within.Two more women were waiting inside.They looked up as I entered, smiles spreading on both their faces.“Welcome,” said the elder of the two, her silver hair braided down her back like a vine. “We’ve waited so long for this day.”I nodded politely. My heart was still pounding from everything I’d just experienced outside—the shadows, the magic, the guards, the illusion of the hidden manor. I felt like I’d stepped into a dream. One I wasn’t sure I wanted to stay in.One of

  • Mated To My Enemies! Lycan Kings Obsession    The cloaked world

    Mira’s POVFive days.It had been five long, winding days since I left Blackwood.Five days of rocky paths, forested silence, and a growing pulse in my chest that guided me onward like a string tugging softly at my soul.I hadn’t seen a single bandit, nor had I been hunted by any wild beasts—not that I didn’t expect them. In fact, the absence of danger had begun to make me uneasy. The quiet was too perfect. Too expectant.But I couldn’t afford to question it.I was being led—by something ancient, powerful, and now more familiar to me than even the bond with my mates. It wasn’t a voice or a vision. It was energy. A subtle pull I felt deep beneath my skin. The closer I got to it, the stronger it became.And tonight… it burned.I arrived at dusk.The sky bled orange and violet behind jagged hills, and the trees gave way to a narrow path that spilled into a clearing. At the center of it, a small shadowy settlement flickered beneath the pale moonlight. Not a village exactly—there were no s

    Kai’s POVMy fingers tightened around the scrolls.The parchment crinkled slightly under my grip as I stared at the harsh words inked across them. Words no daughter should ever receive from a father. And yet… there they were. Cold commands. Threats. A mission. A demand to act.A betrayal.I turned to Serena, who stood watching me like a cat that had just dropped a dead bird at my feet—proud and expectant.“Where did you get these?” I asked again, slower this time.She shrugged, far too casual. “Does it matter?”“It does to me.”She tilted her head. “Fine. I stole them.”My eyes narrowed.“I took them from her chamber,” she said smoothly. “After she left. They were there, just waiting. Maybe she forgot them, or maybe someone else brought them there for her. Who knows?”“You realize that’s a punishable offense.”“I’m sure you’ll think of something clever,” she replied, not the least bit afraid. “But maybe we should focus less on the theft and more on the content, Kai.”I hated the way s

    Kai’s POVThe meeting hall was louder than it had been in moons.Dozens of voices rose and fell—agitated, stubborn, full of doubt. Councilmen sat at the long obsidian table, slamming palms, shaking heads, and offering half-thought-out retorts to my proposal. I stood at the head of the table, arms crossed behind my back, jaw locked.“You want us to walk into the den of vipers and ask for peace?” Councilman Helmar barked. “They’ve already sent spies. They’ve already broken border codes. Why should we show them courtesy?”“Because war isn’t a game of pride,” I snapped.Councilman Geras scoffed. “So instead, we serve ourselves on a silver platter?”Murmurs of agreement rippled through the room.It was exhausting.I had tried logic. Tried diplomacy. Tried leading them through the benefits of a peaceful overture. But they refused to see beyond their fury—beyond their thirst for vengeance. I couldn’t blame them. The council had seen too much blood in the past few moons.But still, they weren

  • Mated To My Enemies! Lycan Kings Obsession    Into the unknown

    Mira’s POVThe further my carriage pulled away from Blackwood, the quieter the world became.It was unsettling.No royal guards. No castle bells ringing in the distance. No comforting weight of my mates’ presence beside me.Just me… and the road.We crossed the final border of Blackwood territory by noon, and I instructed the driver—an older man with no interest in conversation—to stop near a lake nestled between two low hills.The air here was fresher, tinged with the scent of pine and wildflowers. The lake’s surface was smooth as glass, reflecting the pale blue sky like a painting. I stepped down from the carriage slowly, careful not to twist my ankle on the uneven grass.I clutched the parchment tightly in one hand.This was where I would try again.This was where I would call to them—the witches.I knelt by the water’s edge, pulling out the small pouch of incense the High Priestess had given me back at the shrine. My fingers trembled as I lit the tip, the flame licking upward befo

    Kai’s POVThe moment Serena stepped inside, the air shifted.It was like a cold, unwanted draft had seeped into the war room. Her expression was polished and unreadable, but I knew better than to mistake that calm for innocence.I didn’t bother hiding the edge in my voice.“You’re not welcome here.”Serena stopped halfway to the table and tilted her head, that infuriating smile tugging at the corner of her lips. “That’s not very diplomatic of you, Kai.”“Leave.”But she didn’t.“I came to ask a simple question,” she said. “Will the orphanage home still be renovated? Or has Mira’s plan died with her departure?”That caught me off guard for a second.Of all the things I expected her to bring up—schemes, leverage, veiled insults—that wasn’t one of them.I narrowed my eyes. “Why do you care?”“I’m the one who built it,” she said, her tone gentle now. Almost sincere. “It was my vision before Mira ever stepped foot in Blackwood. I care about those children… the ones still alive, at least.”
