CALANTHA

That evening at dinner, I couldn’t stop watching Kaiden as he ate at the center of the grand dining table. Queen Adeline and I sat on either side of him, but my mind was elsewhere.

“Calantha… Lysandra and Kaiden dated two years ago.”

Eloise’s words echoed in my head over and over, making it hard to focus on my food. My appetite had almost disappeared entirely.

Jealousy. That was exactly what I was feeling. Strong, irrational jealousy, even though I had no right to.

Lysandra and Kaiden had dated.

The thought alone made my chest tighten. They were both perfect —attractive, elite, and from prestigious families. A flawless match, if you’d ask me. So why did they break up? What could have possibly gone wrong?

As Kaiden calmly ate, my gaze drifted to his lips. More jealousy washed over me.

Did they kiss?

Of course, they did. Duh! They were a couple, after all.

But… did they do more than that? Something like sex…

"Calantha."

Queen Adeline’s voice jolted me back to reality. I quickl

    CALANTHA“The myths and legends painted me as the villain,” this goddess—Hera, if that was truly her name—spoke, her voice laced with honey and velvet, warm and terrifying all at once. It wasn’t a voice made for mortal ears. It coiled like a siren’s song. Seductive, deadly, dragging your soul deeper into her depths before you realized you were drowning.“They say I betrayed my sister. That I lusted after the same lowly werewolf she loved.”That story… it sounded familiar.Hera leaned toward Tara, her eyes gleaming with cruel amusement as she studied the priestess trembling before her.“But they’ve all got it wrong,” she murmured, “At least... some parts of it. Shall I tell you what really happened? About how the Moon Goddess; own sister, stole the man I loved and tried to have me destroyed?”My body stiffened behind the curtain, my breath caught in my throat.Holy fuck. She was the moon goddess’s twin? The stories about them weren’t wrong after all? I couldn’t believe what I was see

  • Stealing the Heart of the Lycan King   Hide and See

    CALANTHAA MOMENT LATERI followed Chief Priestess Tara into her cottage deep in the woods.When we arrived, she paused near the doorway to take off her cloak and shoes. I lingered behind her, letting my eyes scan the space. As usual, the house smelled thick of incense and herbs, a blend of dried roots and burning sage. Strange objects hung on the walls—old scrolls, celestial symbols, animal horns, and crystals that shimmered faintly in the low light.A wave of nostalgia hit me hard, stirring up memories. My hand moved to my shoulder, right where Kaiden had marked me. This was the very place we’d sealed our deal. Where everything between us had begun.Now it could be the place that ends us.“You want a drink, my Luna?” Tara asked, her voice soft behind me. She was mixing herbs into a cup.I turned to her and shook my head with a tight-lipped smile. “I’ll pass, thank you.”She shrugged and took a sip herself. Then she came closer, slower, her eyes scanning my face with quiet concern.“

  • Stealing the Heart of the Lycan King   Revelations and Decisions

    CALANTHA Through the small opening of the door, I peeked into Kaiden’s study, quietly listening to what was going on inside.Kaiden was there. So was Queen Adeline… and her. The strange girl who claimed to be his long-dead sister. I watched in confusion. She was seated, Tara standing nearby, examining the girl’s eyes and analyzing drops of her blood she had taken. The air in the room was heavy with tension, and no one was speaking.I couldn’t make sense of it.Back at the academy, when Lysandra and I had caught her and threatened to take her to Kaiden, I had second thoughts right after. Her response, her eagerness to be brought before the Lycan king felt too suspicious. So, I let her go. On one condition—we would keep a close watch on her.Until the event that occurred that same night. Kaiden had come into my room while I was asleep—or at least, I had been asleep until a faint noise at the window woke me. When I checked, I caught a glimpse of Kaiden chasing a shadowy figure throug

    ELOISE THE NEXT MORNING I halted my car in front of Cross’s apartment, taking a second to reconsider my decision before alighting from the car and entering into his apartment building.Once I reached the door of his apartment, I rang the doorbell, not giving myself a second to stall. Just in case I have a change of heart. I waited for the door to be attended to.For the past two days, I had been unsettled. All thanks to Cross and Nyx. After that day at the beach and my conversation with Calantha, I couldn’t help thinking deeply about those two. Thoughts like… what if Cross had actually changed into a person now? What if I was just being over protective, and the only thing standing between my best friend and the guy she wants? Although I still could not comprehend how Nyx had suddenly gotten close to Cross, enough that the both of them could be harboring feelings for each other, I would hate to appear as the friend who deprived my best friend of her desires and for no good reasons

  • Stealing the Heart of the Lycan King   Pent Up Rage

    CALANTHA“Please, just listen to me for a second, Calantha. Please!” Ivy pleaded as the guards dragged her and her family away, while I followed closely behind. We were headed for the cell. Ivy’s eyes were red and swollen from crying, and I tried my best not to look at her face. “I’m not asking you to forgive me, nor spare me.” She continued. “I hurt you and deserve every punishment that comes with it. Just give me a moment to explain things to you, Calantha.Please….”She tried to stop and reach for me but the guards pulled her away before she could make an attempt. My heart felt heavy in my chest, and I hated watching them manhandle her this way. But above all, I was hurting. Hurting from the pain of her betrayal. Intentional or not. My mind traveled back to all those times when she had handed me drinks and I had trusted her enough to drink them. Suddenly, I remembered the look of guilt in her eyes back then, and how she never really met my eyes. How could I have missed the sig

  • Stealing the Heart of the Lycan King   Mother and Daughter

    QUEEN ADELINETHAT EVENINGQueen Adeline decided that tonight, she was going to take a stroll to clear her head. With everything going on in the pack, she just needed a moment to breathe. To think deeply.So, she strolled into the woods that surrounded the private stream. As she walked, she felt a strong sense of nostalgia and a small, sad smile played on her lips. She was reminded of the late king, her mate. They always bathed and spent time together here most time, enjoying nature and letting their wolves run free. All that was before the tragedy that struck their family—Raya’s death. After that, Adeline had become a shadow of herself, although she believed she had done her best to hide her grief away from everyone else. She was the queen. Her son and the entire pack needed her. She couldn’t afford to show any form of weakness. So, after Raya’s death, she barely spent time with the late king again until his death. And she regretted that she had been so closed up and in her shell,
