KAEL

I jerked up from the bed, my breath coming quickly, and my chest felt heavy.

I looked around; it was dark and silent and I was in my room.

Stormclaw Pack.

But my heart was pounding as I had just run.

“What was that..." I whispered, pressing my hand to my chest as my wolf stirred inside me, restless and angry.

It hadn't been calm for days, so I swung my legs off the bed and stood up.

I didn’t even remember lying down, and sleep no longer stayed with me. Every time I close my eyes, I see her

  • Rejected and Banished: Claimed by the Lycan King   Queen of Ashes

    Serena.People always make the mistake when they think about me.They think that when you lose the game is over.They think that when you are defeated it is forever.They think that when you are humiliated you are broken.That is not true.I am not broken.I am stronger because of what happened to me.It made me sharper more focused.I stood on the balcony looking out at the camp below me.There were thousands of soldiers row after row of tents fires burning through the night.It was a sight my army waiting for me to tell them what to do.The same people who laughed at me when Kael sent me away now they are afraid of me.It is funny how quickly things can change.I wrapped my cloak around me feeling the cold night air.I was not cold because I was thinking about victory and that always feels warm.Then I heard a knock at the door.I did not turn around I just said "come in".The door opened, I heard boots walking across the floor.It was Raze, my lover, the commander in the Syndicate.

  • Rejected and Banished: Claimed by the Lycan King   The Calm Before The Storm (Part 2)

    LYRAThree days.That was all it took for Stormclaw to change completely.Three days after the scout arrived with Serena’s threat.Three days after Kael met his sons.Three days after we learned a new war was coming.The kingdom no longer felt peaceful.It felt like everyone was watching.Like an animal sensing danger in the forest.Everyone could feel it.The guards.The servants.The citizens.Even the twins.Especially the twins.Kids are often smarter than grown-ups think.They notice tension.Fear.Changes in behavior.There have been plenty of changes lately.The castle was always busy.Soldiers trained from sunrise to night.Blacksmiths worked all the time.Messengers kept arriving.Commanders rarely left the war room.The whole kingdom was getting ready for battle.Somehow I found myself thinking about Kael.Again.It was frustrating.I had convinced myself that part of my life was over.Finished.Buried.Then he showed up looking like a man with a lot of guilt.Now I couldn’t

  • Rejected and Banished: Claimed by the Lycan King   The Calm Before The Storm

    LYRAIf someone had told me a year ago that Kael would show up at my gates looking nervous and unsure of himself, I would not have believed them.Here we were.Life has a way of surprising us all.Even kings are not immune to this.The night after the scout brought me Serena's message, I could not sleep.The whole kingdom was on edge.The guards were patrolling often.Messengers were going up and down all night.The commanders were meeting in the war rooms.They were spreading out maps on tables, discussing strategies.Preparations were starting away.Through all of this, one thought kept going through my mind.Kael had finally met his sons.I still could not believe it.I sat by the nursery window. Watched as the sun came up.The twins were sleeping.This was a new thing.One of them was down in his bed.The other was wrapped up in his blanket like a bug.I smiled despite everything that was going on.Then my thoughts went back to the dayI thought about the look on Kaels' face when

  • Rejected and Banished: Claimed by the Lycan King   A Reunion

    KAELI was hiding behind the trees.I should have come out and introduced myself.I should have ridden up to the gate and asked to see them.I should have acted like a king.I just stood there watching the life I used to be a part of.The twins were. Having a great time.One of them was sitting on Ares's shoulders. The other was holding his arm, asking to be picked up too.Ares looked like he was at his wits' end."I only have two shoulders," he said.The little boy looked unhappy with that answer.Lyra was laughing.It sounded beautiful.It was a sound that made everything feel better.When I opened my eyes again, she was still smiling at Ares.It hit me that I wasn't feeling jealous.I just felt sad.Because I knew that smile.It meant she trusted him.Maybe she even loved him.I couldn't blame her for that.I watched Ares. I saw how the twins loved him.No love wasn't the word.They depended on him.They trusted him completely.One of the boys almost fell, but Ares caught him befor

  • Rejected and Banished: Claimed by the Lycan King   The Things I Broke

    KAELI could not sleep.I had my kingdom back. That did not make a difference.Serena was gone with the poison had. The voices had disappeared.I should have been relieved, I should have felt victorious.I did not.I sat alone in my chambers staring at the fire feeling emptier than I had in months.The silence was real. It was unbearable.There was nothing to distract me from my thoughts now.No hallucinations, no confusion, no lies, memories.The memories were cruel.I remembered everything every moment of madness every time I had mistaken Serena for Lyra.I remembered every time I cried because I thought Lyra had left me every time I begged for someone who was not there.I remembered it all. It was painful.The embarrassment should have been the part, but it wasn't.The worst part was realizing that even when I was poisoned and broken my heart had still searched for Lyra, not Serena, Lyra.I closed my eyes. Immediately I saw her, her silver eyes, her stubborn expression, the little

  • Rejected and Banished: Claimed by the Lycan King   My Throne Not Yours

    KAELI had thought about this moment times.In some versions I exposed Serena in front of everyone.In others I made her confess all her lies in the throne room.Sometimes I imagined her begging.Sometimes I imagined her running.But standing in that hall watching her face turn white as she finally understood I felt something unexpected.The satisfaction was way more than revenge.Because for the time in months Serena was scared.Not just careful.Not suspicious.Scared.The woman who had poisoned me.Manipulated me.Turned my kingdom into her playground.The woman who had watched me lose my mind. Smiled while it happened.She was terrified.I hadn’t even started.I kept smiling at the nobles.Kept laughing.Kept talking.All while Serena stood nearby trying to calm down.It was almost impressive.Almost.Anyone else would have missed it.The slight shake in her fingers.The stiffness in her posture.The way she kept looking at me when she thought I wasn’t paying attention.She was tr

  • Rejected and Banished: Claimed by the Lycan King   Ash Beneath a Steady hand

    LYRAThe smoke never really left my lungs anymore. It was always there a reminder of what I had been through.When I was standing on the battlefield, when I was behind walls that were falling apart, even when I closed my eyes at night the smoke stayed with me. It was like a ghost inside my chest a

  • Rejected and Banished: Claimed by the Lycan King   The Sound of Collapse

    KAELThe war started before the sun came up.It did not start with an announcement.It did not start cleanly.There was no message from the royal family.No group of people sat around a fancy table to discuss the problems between our lands.War came quickly and quietly like a knife to the throat.I

  • Rejected and Banished: Claimed by the Lycan King   The Queen at the Border

    LYRAWar is not what I thought it would be. I mean people always talk about how loud it is.. The truth is, it is really quiet. That is the part. Everyone says that battle is about screaming and fighting.. Real war is not like that. It starts with silence.. Waiting. It is the time before someone dec

  • Rejected and Banished: Claimed by the Lycan King   What The Night Allowed

    ARESThe fortress never truly slept anymore.Not since Lyra opened the gates.Not since silver banners rose beside Lycan Stormclaw grey. It was like a declaration.War breathed through these halls now.I could feel it in the stone beneath my boots.Guards were tense.Soldiers trained late at night.
