Rejected, then Claimed by the Lycan King.

JoyeMy hopes had been crushed even before they could begin, just on the night of the mating ball. “Crazy! Come over asshole,” I heard Aurelia chuckle and I knew my troubles were just a step away from me. Still scared about all that was to come, and if she was going to throw dirt on my face like she did just last week when I had ignored her call, in an attempt to avoid more bullying, I raised my face to her. She stood in front of me wearing a beige colored dress which I would have agreed fit her perfectly well if she was not a thorn in my life. “Is there any problem, Aurelia?” The last thing I wanted was for Aurelia to see my weakness, as it was her strength and I did not want her depriving joy from bullying me, not on this day. “Ohh, you now call me by my name. So much to expect from a weakling that loves to be reminded of her place.” She was starting with the taunts again, and even as this was not just the day for it, not when I felt invigorated and positive about the ball t

JoyeSuffocating. It felt like I was suffocating in this dark room that seemed to close in on me with each passing minute. Rushing towards the door, I screamed and kicked at the door over and over again, to the point that one of the guards growled and warned me to move away or he would come in to teach me a lesson, but I didn't stop. I would take hundreds of beatings if it meant that I was going to get out of this room. But the more I banged on the door, the more it seemed like there was no help coming for me. My mother had been chased away by the guards and even her voice that had been distracting me from the panic that had been incited by my presence in this tiny space was no longer there. There was nothing to focus on. And so I kept banging on the door with my hands until they felt raw and kept kicking at the door until my feet hurt. When I was so exhausted, my body hurt all over, I fell to the ground and closed my eyes tight, trying to regulate my breathing and think positi

Joye "Mate?" I wondered in my head. Surely this man had mistaken me for someone else. Just yesterday I had confirmed that Ethan was my mate, and now this? A lowly omega like myself couldn't probably be able to pull two mates. Or could I?"Stop it!" I yelled at myself mentally. I was head over heels for myself and was losing touch with reality. This was all just one clumsy mistake. Very soon this man will see me for what I'm truly worth, and in no distant time will disregard me, just like everybody else. "Mate? That's impossible." It was Ethan who spoke this time. If I didn't know better, I would have said he was being defensive about this whole thing. Why the hell would he care? He never wanted me to be his mate, so why on earth was he trying to go against this stranger's claims? Although I had no idea who this man was, and my eyes were far too weak to comprehend his looks clearly, I wanted him to take me away from this place. Don't judge me, I understood he was a stranger, and fro

KaelanMy lips curled up in a smile after Joye had finished her sentence. It wasn't like I hadn't expected it, the joy of hearing her say it herself was just superior to that of just knowing. "I guess that settles the argument. She is now my mate and I'd love for everyone to please accord her the respect she deserves." I announced as though they hadn't heard Joye's words at first. I was happy to be blessed with a mate. And a fine one at that. One look at her and I could tell that Joye was a good woman. Under the dirt on her face was a beautiful young lady that needed nothing but love. At first, I had been scared, yesterday was the first full moon of the month. And a mate selection ball was held for unmated wolves to find their partners. Mine was unsuccessful, and it had me worried for a bit. But thank goodness that I came to Nightfall Pack. The moon goddess was on my side, and she led me straight to my mate. I was grateful to the moon goddess for her guidance. And the same time gr

KaelanI watched as her eyes widened expressively at the sight of the mansion before her. I didn't blame her, not only was it twice the size of the Nightfall Pack fortress, but it was also far more luxurious than her average house. I smiled mildly at her expression before leading her into the main building. Upon arrival, the guards and servants were already situated at their designated posts and were making efforts to make everything about today perfect.I wasn't cruel or anything, one might think differently because of the stiff atmosphere. I just liked to make sure that my dominance was established. Unlike ordinary werewolves who had a grading system that allowed the masses to judge their strengths, Lycans didn't care about that. There was nothing like Alpha, omega, beta, or whatever. The Lycan king was the pinnacle of authority, and everybody else was equal. If I didn't exert my dominance and show off my strength as the prime being, one crazed individual might try to challenge me
