Theorone

Searching the forests surrounding my kingdom didn't seem to do anything.

Staring up at the skies, I was painfully aware of the fact that I might still not be able to find her. I had been searching for hours, and the sight of the slowly shifting clouds above me was enough reason to know that time was slipping through my fingers. If I wasn't careful, if I wasted even a single moment more, I might never find her.

And that thought alone was enough to make something dark twist painfully in

  • Once Rejected, Now Claimed By The Lycan King   Chapter 39

    TheoroneI stood there for a moment longer than I should have, my breath slow, heavy, uneven—like the calm before something catastrophic. It dragged through my chest, each inhale deliberate, each exhale controlled, yet failing to steady the storm beneath. My fingers tightened around nothing, curling into empty air, because Bella was no longer in my arms… yet I could still feel the ghost of her weight there.It lingered.The imprint of her presence clung to me like something alive, like a mark I could not see but could not ignore. The strange pull she had over me still coiled tight in my chest, wrapping around my ribs, pressing inward—like a curse I did not understand, one that had chosen me without permission.But this… this was not about her.This was about him.My brother.The last piece of something human I had once held onto… the last fragment of a past that had not been drenched in blood, betrayal, and silence.And he was standing there—Drenched in blood that was not his.Wearin

    Theorone I arrived at my path with Bella in my hand, carrying her as she was still unconscious. We had been in the bushes for a few days now, and I had long since lost count of how long I had been there. She seemed to have lost all her strength, and so had I after the recent attack. Also cautious, I realized how much I had been drained; the fight I once had left me weak, barely able to move, yet my shop—she was beside me—gorgeous, delicate, and seeming like someone who should have been killed, but she was still breathing.I did not know how many days had passed since your hair, but all I knew was that I needed to get back to my pack. I was late. I wasn’t supposed to be missing this long, and even if I was, my men should have already started looking for me, yet I had seen none of them. This made me agitated, and I stood, ready to leave. Kade couldn’t become the lycan king—it was impossible. The people wouldn’t allow it. If he became that, he would become a tyrant, and everyone knew

    Jaxon's POV The air in the room was still thick with my anger when my Beta cleared his throat again, more urgently this time.“My Alpha… there’s something else.”I didn’t turn immediately. My jaw was still tight, my chest still rising and falling as I tried to contain the storm raging inside me. “What now?” I asked, my voice low, already edged with irritation.“There are rogues at the borders,” he said. “They’ve started invading the eastern territory. The patrol guards are holding them off, but—”“I don’t care.”The words came out cold. Immediate. Final.Silence followed.I finally turned, my gaze locking onto him, sharp and unforgiving. “Did they find her?”My Beta blinked, caught off guard. “My Alpha, the rogues—”“Did. They. Find. Her?” I repeated, slower this time, each word laced with something far more dangerous than anger.“No,” he admitted after a brief pause.Something dark twisted deeper inside me.“Then why are you here?” I snapped, my voice rising. “Why are you talking to

    JaxonI was in my chambers, yet it felt like a cage—tight, suffocating, closing in on me with every passing second. The silence should have been peaceful, but instead, it clawed at my nerves, feeding the storm already brewing inside me. My jaw was clenched so hard it ached, my fists tight at my sides as I tried—failed—to rein in the irritation simmering beneath my skin.The door creaked open, and Peony walked in like she had every right to be there.I didn’t even try to hide my irritation. My gaze snapped to her, sharp and cold. “What are you doing here?” My voice came out low, laced with impatience. I wasn’t in the mood for her presence, not tonight—not when my mind was already consumed by something far worse.Before she could answer, the door opened again.My Beta stepped in, his expression tense, like he already knew this wouldn’t go well. That alone was enough to set my nerves further on edge.“What is it?” I snapped, my patience already hanging by a thread.He hesitated—just for

    BellaThe moment his body fell, something inside me shattered.“Theorone…” his name left my lips in a broken whisper as I dragged myself toward him, my entire body trembling, weak, barely holding itself together. Every movement felt like I was tearing myself apart from the inside, like my bones could give way at any second, but I didn’t stop.I couldn’t stop.Not when he had fallen because of me.I reached him just as his body swayed, his strength finally giving in. My hands found him before he could hit the ground fully, wrapping around him, pulling him toward me as I struggled to keep both of us upright.“You can’t… you can’t die,” I muttered under my breath, my voice shaking, uneven, as if saying the words would somehow force him to stay. “Not now… not like this…”His blood was everywhere.Warm.Too warm.It stained my hands, my arms, my clothes, soaking into me like a reminder of everything I had done… everything I had dragged him into.For a moment, I froze.My mind went blank, c

    TheoroneI opened my eyes to find her fighting. I hadn’t expected her to, nor had I expected her to bring me here with her—into the forests, into danger, into the middle of rogues, trying to escape with me. The sight alone felt unreal, like something my mind had created to fill the gaps of my fading consciousness.Was I right to believe that she had wanted to escape with me? Was I right to believe that she hadn’t wanted to run away by herself? Or had she fed me something… something to weaken me, to make me dependent, to make me unable to fight back? The questions came all at once, heavy and suffocating, clouding my already unstable thoughts.I couldn’t believe that she would want to help me.“Bella…” I whispered, trying to call her, but my voice was far too low for her to hear. It came out broken, almost nonexistent, as if my strength had been completely drained from my body. Even breathing felt like a task I had to force myself to do.I didn’t know whether it was because of the drink

When I first realized, through the mate bond, that she had tried to run from me, I had rushed to the

    Bella's POV Right at the edge he pulled out. Hot ropes of cum splashed across my back and ass, thick and warm, painting my skin in messy streaks. “Perfect,” he muttered, voice rough and satisfied. His hands moved to the heavy crossbar of the stocks that still framed the head of the bed—he flipped

    Bella's POV I stood reluctantly in front of Theoreon’s chambers, exactly where Kade had directed me after he opened the door to my own room and told me to leave. The evening had settled thick over the castle, shadows pooling in the corridors, and I could not find a single servant anywhere. Part of
