CALANTHA

Moments later, Kaiden and I arrived at the ball, where two grand thrones awaited us at the center of the hall. As he held my hand and guided me toward my seat, my breath caught in my throat.

This was the first time a throne had been prepared for me, and the sight of it sent a jolt of reality through me. I was no longer just an outsider trying to fit in. I was stepping fully into my role as Luna. As Queen.

The moment we sat down, the crowd began to form a line, each person waiting their turn to bow before Kaiden. And before me.

The hall was breathtaking, glittering under the golden chandeliers. Every guest was dressed in extravagant gowns and finely tailored suits. I was relieved that my own dress held its ground among the sea of elegance. Good to know I hadn’t miscalculated my choice.

Yet, despite my outward confidence, something in me still felt... off.

No matter how beautifully I was dressed, how gracefully I held myself, deep down, I felt like an imposter. Like I didn’t

  • Stealing the Heart of the Lycan King   The Final Rites

    CROSSChief Priestess Tara’s cremation was held tonight in front of the grand hall at the town square. Almost everyone in the pack had shown up to pay their final respects. I stood quietly beside Nyx as Hera performed the last rites and lit the log coffin. My gaze drifted to Kaiden, who stood at the very front with Queen Adeline. Though he held his posture tall and proud like always, I saw the pain in his eyes—the same deep, familiar pain he’d once carried when he lost his sister. A pain he thought he could hide, but one I could always recognize.My heart ached for him. Tara was more than just a priestess. She was like a mother to him. Loyal, wise, and protective. Second only to Beta Bradley and Queen Adeline. I couldn’t begin to imagine how much her loss was hurting him now.As Kaiden stepped forward to scatter flowers over the flames, I caught the faint glint of tears in his eyes. Tears that no one else seemed to notice. The anger I carried for my father, for Ryker, for Hera, for t

  • Stealing the Heart of the Lycan King   An Oddly Behaved Mother

    KAIDENI stayed in Calantha’s cell for nearly an hour, just watching her sleep. She looked so peaceful, as if none of the chaos around her existed. Eventually, the elder physician came in to check on her. Calantha woke up then, and I quietly excused myself but not before kissing her and whispering how much I loved her. I told her I couldn’t wait for all of this to end, for us to be free and happy again.Before I left, I instructed the guards to ensure she was eating proper meals and to notify me immediately if anything unusual happened.Then I stepped out of the cell, leaving Calantha with the physician. I made my way down the hall, away from the main wing, heading to the private quarters where Raya was being cared for. Where my mother had practically moved into since Raya returned.Ever since Raya came back, my mother hadn’t left her side. She hadn’t even been to the main wing in days. And though I was still torn and confused about the whole Raya’s situation, I knew better than to i

  • Stealing the Heart of the Lycan King   A Sick Luna

    KAIDENAs soon as I finished with Cross, I stormed out of the study and made my way straight to Calantha’s cell, walking fast. I had barely been about to leave when one of the guards assigned to her had rushed in, telling me she’d been shivering all night and had thrown up multiple times.I had lost it and punched him square in the face, yelling furiously. “And why the fuck are you only telling me this now?!”He had staggered back, holding his bloody nose, but I didn’t stop to hear excuses. My heart was pounding in my chest as I rushed to the cell.When I got there, I saw her curled up on the bed, lying in a fetal position. The guards standing outside bowed their heads the moment they saw me.“Open it.” I growled an order, my eyes locked on Calantha. Her eyes, weak and groggy, slowly fluttered open at the sound of my voice.The guards obeyed immediately, unlocking the door without hesitation.I rushed inside the moment it creaked open. She was already trying to sit up but was struggli

  • Stealing the Heart of the Lycan King   The Host

    QUEEN ADELINEIn the private wing of the packhouse, where a new room had been specially arranged for Raya, Queen Adeline sat quietly by her daughter’s side. Her fingers gently stroked Raya’s hair as the girl slowly sipped from a bowl of herbal soup that had been carefully prepared by a private cook at Adeline’s request.Everything in this part of the wing was discreet. Only a single cook and one trusted maid worked here. This secrecy was intentional. Until Adeline and Kaiden decided how and when to announce Raya’s return, no one outside this space could know she was here.Adeline’s hand moved rhythmically through Raya’s hair, her eyes misty as she watched her daughter eat. A soft smile; equal parts sorrow and joy, tugged at her lips. So much time had passed. So much pain had been endured. She wanted to ask Raya everything—How she’d survived, what had happened to her, where she had been. But not now. First, she needed her daughter to recover. And judging by how thin and frail Raya loo

  • Stealing the Heart of the Lycan King   Old Friend

    KAIDENBradley stood before my desk, giving his report as I sat down and scanned through the photographs in my hands—images of the crime scene where Tara was found.“We’ve been keeping a close eye on the High Priestess and Alpha Slade, just like you instructed,” Bradley began. “But so far, we haven’t found any skeletons in their closet.”I leaned in closer to the pictures, studying them for anything that I might have missed. But nothing stood out. All that was there was the same bloody scene and the knife that she’d been stabbed with. Nothing out of the ordinary. “It’s almost like they knew we’d be watching,” Bradley continued, his voice edged with frustration. “As if they swept every track clean before we could even look.”I clenched my jaw, the muscle twitching as he spoke.“And Tara’s cremation…” he added, his voice softening into a sad tone, “It’s happening tonight. We’ve arranged a proper send-off, just as you ordered.”His words sank deep into my chest like a blade. I closed my

  • Stealing the Heart of the Lycan King   Opting Out

    CROSSI stormed straight into the meeting room the moment I arrived at the coven house. Once I reached the doors, I pushed them carelessly open, and all heads turned in my direction. Sitting at the long table were my coven members, my father, and Ryker.I let out a bitter scoff the second our eyes met. The anger burning inside me grew ten times hotter.That asshole Ryker was sitting comfortably in my chair. The bloody nerve.I had received word from a trusted source that a meeting was being held behind my back. So, the moment I dropped Nyx off at the packhouse, I drove here in a hurry. And clearly, the informant hadn’t lied.“What the hell is going on here?” I growled as I walked in, step by slow step, my eyes scanning each of their faces. None of them moved an inch. Not even Max. For once, the cowards looked like they had found their courage. Or at least, they thought they had.My gaze locked with Max’s. His eyes didn’t blink or shift. He just stared right back at me.“How dare yo
