Stealing the Heart of the Lycan Kingย ย ย Her Protector
KAIDEN I had no idea how long I had been unconscious, but when I finally woke up, it was almost noon the next day.A sharp pain throbbed in my head and my body as I groaned, forcing myself to sit up. My muscles ached, but I managed to push through."Kaiden, you're awake." My motherโs voice came and I lifted my head and saw her sitting nearby. She rushed over to help me, but I raised a hand to stop her.I wasnโt crippled and helpless. Just momentarily weak."How are you feeling?" Her eyes were filled with worry and concern as she asked me. I didnโt answer her. Instead, my mind tried to catch up, replaying the events that had led me here. The image of Calantha in the car with me flashed through my mind and my chest tightened instantly, fear wrapping around my heart.Ignoring the pounding in my head, I turned to my mother sharply. "Where is Calantha?" My throat was dry and my voice sounded raspy. "She is fine," she reassured me. "She has gone to the academy."A heavy breath of relief

CALANTHAI couldnโt focus in class at all, not even during our literature reading session.After class, Eloise and Nyx mentioned they were heading to the new cafรฉ downtown for coffee. When they asked if I wanted to join them, I agreed without hesitation. Anything to take my mind off what happened yesterday with Kaiden and his mother.But even as I sat with them at the cafรฉ, listening to their chatter about the latest gossip and fashion trends, my thoughts kept drifting back to Kaiden. No matter how hard I tried, I couldnโt shake him from my mind.A quiet voice in my head warned me that nothing about last night was normal. None of it made sense. And if I had any sense at all, I should run while I still had the chance.But I couldnโt. Foolish or not, it felt wrong to walk away from Kaiden just because of that. I mean, I didnโt even know the full story. Wouldnโt it be selfish to leave without understanding what was really going on with him?โCalantha.โ Nyxโs voice pulled me back to the m

CALANTHALysandraโs house was far bigger than I had imagined. It was even larger than Nyx and Eloiseโs. It was clear that whoever lived here was someone of great importance in the pack.โWelcome to our humble abode.โ Lysandra said warmly, flashing me a smile as we stepped inside. The guy from earlier trailed behind us. During the car ride, Lysandra had introduced him as her friend; Tate.I took in my surroundings, admiring the elegant interior. โYou have a really beautiful place.โ I mused.Lysandra chuckled. โI know, right? My mother has great taste.โAt the mention of her mother, the sound of approaching footsteps echoed from the staircase. Almost as if on cue, we all turned our heads to see who it was.Descending gracefully was a stunning older woman with long, dark hair cascading over her shoulders. A subtle red gloss coated her lips, accentuating her otherwise makeup-free face. Even though she didnโt share many facial features with Lysandra, their beauty was unmistakably the same.

CALANTHAI did not stay out late today. As evening approached, I let Lysandra and the High Priestess know that I was heading home. Deep down, I felt relieved to be leaving. Throughout lunch, I couldnโt shake the unsettling feeling of the High Priestess watching me. And each time I glanced up, I caught her staring at me, her brows slightly furrowed as if she was studying me or trying to figure something out.Lysandra offered to drive me back to the packhouse, but I politely declined, insisting I would call for a chauffeur from the packhouse. After a bit of back and forth, we agreed that Tate would drive me instead, since his house was along the same route.The car ride was quiet. And when we finally arrived at the packhouse, I stepped out and thanked him before making my way inside.As I walked toward the building, I noticed a group of men sparring in the training field nearby. Their movements were swift and experienced, the sounds of fists hitting flesh and grunts of exertion filling

CALANTHAFor the rest of the week, I did my best to avoid Kaiden. The only time we crossed paths was at dinner, where we both kept to ourselves, and he acted like I wasnโt even there. It hurt. I wonโt lie. But I had no right to be upset.He was right. The only thing tying us together was the contract, and I would be a fool to let myself fall for him. So, I spent those days trying to numb whatever I felt, mentally scolding myself whenever I caught a glimpse of him around the packhouse and my heart stupidly fluttered.To make things easier, I made sure not to ride with him to the academy that week. He didnโt seem to care, as he went in a separate car without a second thought.This stupid crush I felt towards him had done nothing but break me, but maybe that was a good thing. I needed the wake up call.A slave, crushing on the Lycan King? I almost laughed out loud.I must have lost my mind.The weekend finally arrived, and it was the day of my visit to the refugee camp.

CALANTHA The woman led us to a small tent that looked worn out and messy. Inside, my chest tightened at the sight before me. A frail little boy lay on the bare ground, his tiny body unmoving. His leg was wrapped in a filthy rag, and his face was pale, almost lifeless.The woman quietly stepped outside again, giving me space. Eloise and Nyx stayed by my side. โOh my god.โ Nyx whispered, a small sob escaping her lips. Eloise immediately pulled her into a comforting hug.I swallowed hard, forcing back my own tears. Then, walking towards the boy, I knelt beside him and carefully lifted his head into my arms. His skin was cold and his breathing was weak.Slowly, I reached for his injured leg and started unwrapping the rag.โCalantha, what are you doing?โ Eloiseโs voice rang in alarm. โYou could make it worse!โI didnโt reply to her. Instead, I kept going until the rag came loose, revealing the full extent of the injury. The wound was deep, infected, and rotting.Nyx let out another stran

KAIDEN โMy King, Ryker is here.โ Bradley announced, standing at the head of the dining table as I cut into my steak.โLet him in.โ I replied without looking up, sliding the bite into my mouth and chewing slowly.I was the one who had invited Ryker over, but now, I regretted it. Ever since my last encounter with Calantha, my mood had been off and everything else felt unimportant.I didnโt know why. Maybe it was because I hurt her when she didnโt deserve it. Still, I wouldnโt take back my words if I could. It was for her own good.A minute later, Bradley returned with Ryker trailing behind him. I lifted my gaze briefly, meeting his mischievous eyes as he bowed.โMy King.โI said nothing and focused back on my meal. Without waiting for permission, Ryker pulled out a chair and sat a few seats away from me. The servants quickly set a plate in front of him, arranging food on the table.Noticing his hesitation to eat, a smirk crossed my lips. Setting my knife and fork down, I leaned back s

RYKERTHE NEXT DAYSHADOW MOON PACK - ALPHA SLADEโS PACKHOUSEI stepped out of my car and took in the sight of my fatherโs packhouse, chewing the gum in my mouth as I leaned against the door. It had been over a year since I last came here.No matter how much my father nagged me to visit, I always found an excuse to stay away.Maybe it was because coming here reminded me of my future as the next Alpha of this pack. But I wanted more. I didnโt want to be just another Alpha. I wanted power. Real power over the entire realm.I wanted to be the Lycan King. And I had been so close to making that happen.But that bastard Kaiden kept crossing the line.I clenched my jaw at the memory of last night. The humiliation he had made me suffer. That was the only reason I was here now. Anything to make that son of a bitch pay for how much he had humiliated me last night. With a sigh, I shoved my hands into my pockets and walked into the packhouse. The guards and servants bowed the moment they saw me

Stealing the Heart of the Lycan Kingย ย ย Illusions
CALANTHA As everyone started to panic, shouting things like โWho are you?โ and โWhy are we here?โ, I took a step back and let my eyes roam around the strange room that had trapped the five of us together.The walls were tall panes of silver glass, stretching out in every direction like an endless mirror maze, reflecting our confused faces a thousand times over. A soft hum echoed through the room, and suddenly, a glowing clock appeared on one of the mirrors.00:10:59.An eleven-minute countdown.Fear climbed up my throat. What were we supposed to do?Beside me, the timid-looking boy stepped closer to the mirrors, frowning as he studied the clock.โWeโre being timed.โ He said quietly.โTimed?โ The girl with soft cherry-brown hair echoed, stepping forward to see for herself. Her forehead creased with worry.As everyone started pacing in confusion, trying to make sense of the place, I moved closer to one of the mirrors and stared into it.My breath caught in my throat.My reflection didn

CALANTHAThe rune blinked once then glowed gold. The words on it shifted and changed:Passed โ .โOh, thank the gods,โ Eloise breathed out behind me, placing a hand over her chest. She looked like she had been holding her breath the whole time. I let out a small laugh, the tension finally easing a bit. I turned to the timid boy.โWell done.โHe smiled shyly, his cheeks turning red as he looked down at his shoes. His ears were flushed too.Before we could say anything else, another door shimmered to life โthis time, the obsidian one. A second riddle echoed through the chamber:"I wear your face, but hide a knife. I smile as you bleed. Once I strike, the scent of trust never returns. What am I?"Isadora folded her arms across her chest and stepped forward with her usual smugness. โThatโs betrayal.โ She said with a slight toss of her head, her voice sharp and confident.โWait,โ I said quickly, holding up a hand. โCould it be deception? Or maybe false love?โShe let out a small snort. โI

CALANTHA"Um... I-I think I panicked and pressed the wrong runes." Isadora mumbled as the floor finally stopped tilting and the magic fog faded. We slowly picked ourselves off the ground. Eloise and I stayed close together, like something terrible might happen if we let go of each other. Isadora, on the other hand, was still trying to act calm, like nothing had shaken her."Itโll work this time.โ She said confidently and started walking toward the rune slab again, but Eloise quickly stepped in front of her."We only have one chance left, Isadora," Eloise warned. "You already messed up the first try. What makes you so sure you wonโt mess up again?""Oh really? Then why donโt you try it if you think itโs so easy!" Isadora snapped, glaring at her.Eloise scoffed. "Oh, now you admit itโs not easy? Thatโs funny coming from someone who said sheโs the best in werewolf history.""Youโre just jealous because Iโm better than you!" Isadora hissed, her face red with anger."Me? Jealous of you?"
Stealing the Heart of the Lycan Kingย ย ย The Pack Harmony Test
CALANTHAWe were all sorted into groups of five. In my group, there was me, Eloise, Isadora, a girl, and another timid looking guy whose names I didnโt know. Each group was given a name, and ours was called Group Starlight. Nyx ended up in a different group.I couldnโt help but glance over at Kaiden. He was grouped with Lysandra, Sara, Ryker, and another boy. A jealous feeling crawled up my stomach at the thought of Lysandra being in the same group as him. My jealousy only grew when Kaiden sent me a small smile from across the field. I pouted and looked away, feeling even more annoyed. Why couldnโt I have been in his group instead of her?"The gods, Iโm so nervous." Eloise said next to me, kicking her legs as she warmed up, her face serious like she was going into battle.Before I could say anything back, Mr. Fisher spoke up again."Each group will enter the portal one at a time," he said, his voice loud and clear. "Youโll each be taken to a different puzzle room. Youโll have no mor

CALANTHA"I still can't believe you're hooking up with the Lycan King again after everything he did to you!" Eloise said beside me, throwing her hands up in frustration as we walked down the academy hallway, surrounded by other students. I had just finished telling her and Nyx about what happened yesterday. About me and Kaidenโs โlittle momentโ, and Queen Adeline showing up at my doorstep. And Eloise and Nyxโs reactions were exactly what I had expected."Shhh!" I hissed quickly, glancing around to make sure no one had heard. I turned back to Eloise, shooting her a warning glare. "Someone might hear you! And remember, no oneโs supposed to know Iโm out of the packhouse yet."Eloise just rolled her eyes, and Nyx leaned in closer to ask in a quieter voice, "How did you two even make up?""I don't know," I said with a small shrug. "It just... happened."Eloise shook her head. "Well, as much as I don't want to see you get hurt again, I'm glad Queen Adeline walked in on you and Kaiden hal
Stealing the Heart of the Lycan Kingย ย ย Our Deepest Desires
CALANTHAI fell asleep in Kaidenโs arms, with his body wrapped so tightly around mine like he was afraid I would leave.His breathing was slow and steady against my back, and our naked bodies were tangled together under the warm sheets.For the first time in a long time, I slept peacefully.The heavy sadness that always clung to me at night was gone. I think I even fell asleep with a smile on my face.I didnโt know how long we slept, but when I opened my eyes, it was already late in the afternoon.As I moved a little, Kaiden pulled me even closer.He kissed my shoulder softly, his bare body still pressed against mine."Did you sleep well?" He asked in a low voice behind me.I slowly turned around to face him.His hair was messy, and his lips looked a little swollen from all the kissing we had done. His eyes were soft, so different from the cold and distant way he usually looked.I wondered if he felt the same peace I was feeling in his arms."Mmmhmm," I nodded and reached up to brush

KAIDEN"Youโre dripping wet for me, my Luna. I can smell it.โ I murmured as I set her gently down on the bed.I stood at the edge, drinking in the sight of her. Every bare, beautiful inch of her laid out before me.Slowly, I pushed my trousers down, kicking them aside until I was naked too, the cool air brushing over my heated skin.I caught the way her eyes immediately dropped to my cock, thick and straining, standing proudly between us.She swallowed hard, her cheeks flushed, and her arousal thickened in the air, so strong it made my own hunger sharpen.The look on her face; hungry, needy, starved for meโฆ was enough to make my heart flip with pure, aching pleasure.Slowly, I crawled onto the bed, parting her trembling thighs with my hands.She watched me, her chest rising and falling, her eyes wide and dark and full of what looked a hell of a lot like surrender."You look so beautiful when youโre desperate for me." I whispered, a soft smile tugging at my lips before I lowered my hea

KAIDENThe way her big, olive green eyes stared up at me told me everything. She did not believe me. She wanted to, but she couldnโt.And honestly, I didnโt blame her.I had been a complete ass to her. It made total sense that she would doubt every word coming out of my mouth now.Hell, even I had needed time to finally accept what I felt for her."Youโre mistaken, Kaiden," she whispered, her long wet lashes fluttering as she blinked up at me with glassy eyes.Her small arms were still wrapped tightly around her body, trying to hide her nakedness from me. It didnโt work. Nothing could hide how beautiful she was."You donโt love me," she said, her voice small and breaking. "You donโt know how to love."Her words cut straight into my chest. But again, I couldnโt blame her.She was right.I had locked myself away for so long. Cold, detached, untouchable and unreachable. I never let anyone get too close. I had convinced myself that love wasnโt something meant for me. That I wasnโt even ca

CALANTHA When we got back to my apartment, Kaiden kept his word and we ordered breakfast. As we ate, I couldnโt stop talking about how good he was at fighting. Even though I had stayed at the packhouse for a while before I left, I had never actually seen him fight. So, watching him handle those men at the cafรฉ was new for me and without meaning to, it made me admire him even more.โDid you see how you grabbed that first guy and elbowed him?โ I said, food still in my mouth as I waved my hand around, trying to show the move. Kaiden just ate calmly, looking a little bored, but I didnโt care.โI always heard you were a great fighter,โ I said, grinning from ear to ear. โBut I didnโt know you were this good. You fought like it was the easiest thing in the world and you didnโt even break a sweat! And Iโm sure that was just a little of what you can really do, right?โInstead of answering, Kaiden rolled his eyes and lifted some food toward my mouth with his fork. His face was blank, bored.โE
