Anika’s POV

I placed my hand on my cheek. I could not believe that Queen Ashlyn could raise her hands on me, and it was because of this swine sprawled on the floor.

“You slapped me?” I asked her, seething in anger.

She slapped me again. This time with the back of her palm. “Never in your life ask me such questions. You lack manners. How dare you shove someone coming to say her greetings to me?”

“She used the main entrance.”

“And so what?”

“She’s a fucking slave!”

  • Rise of the Cursed Lycan   Revelation of The Curse

    Lightning’s POVI walked into the alpha meeting with Zane at my side and stopped.My father.Four years. I hadn’t seen him in four years.How could I forget he was the Supreme Laird? Of course he would be here. Of course this meeting was his doing.The way he looked at me confirmed it.I shouldn’t have come. I never honor their invitations.I took the seat reserved for me. Zane sat beside me. His father, Kill, was already present.“Welcome, Alpha Lightning,” the three alphas greeted. “Beta Zane.”“We’re glad you finally honored our invitation.”“Zane has been attending in my stead,” I said flatly.“Nothing replaces the presence of a legendary alpha,” Alpha Jasper replied.My father remained silent. Watching.Enough.“To the point. Why did you insist I come? And what does it have to do with my pack?”His gaze didn’t waver. “The minor clans are diminishing, Lightning. We are meant to protect them. Your pack has been doing the opposite.”“And?”“Your wolves have been raiding them. Tortur

  • Rise of the Cursed Lycan   Possession without Love

    Lightning’s POVWhat if I made a mistake by touching her? I don’t do virgins. But I finally did one last night.“It’s no mistake. She’s ours,” Blaze reminded me as I walked down the stairs.Raven had still been sleeping when I left her room.He was right. Besides, it wasn’t bad at all. Despite being inexperienced, she was good in her own way.I got to the foot of the stairs when I met Zane.He had an angry look on his face.“Is it not too early to be in a grouchy mood?” I asked him as I walked towards the bar.“And you look way too pleased this morning.”“Is there a reason why I shouldn’t be?” I got to the bar and poured some whiskey into my flask.“Yes, Alpha. Not when Anika lays starving in the dungeon,” he said through clenched teeth.I paused and turned around. “And why is that?”“Because the Luna asked for her to be thrown there. She’s been there since yesterday.”I turned away and filled my flask. “You should meet the one who placed her there. This is none of my business.”“The

  • Rise of the Cursed Lycan   Not to Love, But to Own

    Lightning’s POVAll day, I had sworn to get her off my mind, even though with each passing minute I couldn’t. At the sight of any female, I strained my neck to see if it was her.How was she in my room one minute and gone for hours the next?I heard the sound of a car revving in and got out of the house, only to be greeted with a ravishing beauty in the arms of my best friend.And that ravishing beauty was my slave, Raven. My Raven.I felt anger taking over me and I clenched my jaw. It was just as I had thought. No other person would be able to take Raven out of the pack house if not Ace.I walked towards them, my eyes fixed on hers. The emerald green dress that clung to her body was quite expensive. It was like something pierced my heart. Was that jealousy?I didn’t know what it was. What I knew was I was getting her away from him.I reached them, grabbed her hand and pulled her away.Ace held her other hand, refraining her from going with me. “Where do you think you’re taking her?”

  • Rise of the Cursed Lycan   Hope kills Faster than a Curse

    Lightning’s POVI walked down the stairs and, true to Raven’s words, my mother was seated with Roselia by her side. I inhaled deeply, bracing up for the heated conversation I knew would occur.“Hello, mother,” I walked towards her.Her usual smile was replaced with a stern expression. “You did not honor your father’s letter. Why?” she demanded.I sat in a seat across from hers with a stoic look on my face. “Because I do not buy the idea of manipulating me home.”“Manipulating you? What is wrong with you?” Her brows were etched in worry.I leaned back in my seat. “I believe you know. That’s why you’re here,” I replied sarcastically.“This is not a thing to be joked about, Lightning. You’re doomed if we don’t break this curse.”I stared at her and did not dare utter another word.“Your father found the answers to most of his questions. You know you inherited his curse. But that’s not all, Lightning. That same witch cursed you never to feel the mate bond. This is why you don’t know who y

You can’t do this. The alpha won’t let you do this to me!” I screamed

  • Rise of the Cursed Lycan   Unwanted

    Raven’s POVMy whole body lit up with the fire he was skillfully creating in me, but then he stopped abruptly.My eyes flew open as he stared hard at me. Without a word, he walked out of the river.“Why do you keep rejecting me? Am I not attractive enough like the other women you bed?” I asked him.I knew I rejected him yesterday and vowed not to forgive him. But then I had another thought. What if he was after the other women because he was yet to experience me? What if it was in this way he would feel the mate bond I had been talking about?He paused in his tracks and turned to me. “You are a virgin. An inexperienced woman.”My heart thundered against my chest as a lump filled my throat. “You knew?” I stuttered.“That very same night.”His eyes were fixed on mine.I had been scared that if he found out I was a virgin, he would have me killed, but the urge for him to know I was his mate was deeper. And now, with the realization that he knew and didn’t hang me, frightened me.“What do
