Stealing the Heart of the Lycan King Secrets in the Packhouse pt2
CALANTHA The moment I stepped out of my room, I spotted Bradley standing in the hallway with Hana, deep in conversation.I quickly stepped back, pressing myself against the doorframe and straining to listen. Their voices were hushed, but I caught enough.“How bad is it?” Hana asked quietly.“Pretty bad,” Bradley muttered. “He couldn’t hold it in this time.”Hana exhaled sharply. “And the Queen?”“She’s restless. I’m doing my best to keep her away from him,” Bradley replied, then added, “I have to check on him now. Keep watch, okay?”“Okay.”Then, to my surprise, he pulled Hana into a quick hug before kissing her.Oh. So, they had something going on. But that wasn’t my concern right now.Their conversation had increased my fear. Kaiden wasn’t just stressed. Something serious was happening that he couldn’t control.My mind screamed at me to go back to my room, to stay out of things that weren’t meant for me. But my heart wouldn’t let me.I needed to see him.I watched as Bradley and

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 mother’s 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 wasn’t crippled and helpless. Just momentarily weak."How are you feeling?" Her eyes were filled with worry and concern as she asked me. I didn’t 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 couldn’t focus in class at all, not even during our literature reading session.After class, Eloise and Nyx mentioned they were heading to the new café 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 café, 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 couldn’t 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 couldn’t. Foolish or not, it felt wrong to walk away from Kaiden just because of that. I mean, I didn’t even know the full story. Wouldn’t it be selfish to leave without understanding what was really going on with him?“Calantha.” Nyx’s voice pulled me back to the m

CALANTHALysandra’s house was far bigger than I had imagined. It was even larger than Nyx and Eloise’s. It was clear that whoever lived here was someone of great importance in the pack.“Welcome to our humble abode.” 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. “You have a really beautiful place.” I mused.Lysandra chuckled. “I know, right? My mother has great taste.”At 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 didn’t 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 couldn’t 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 wasn’t even there. It hurt. I won’t 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 didn’t 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. “Oh my god.” 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.“Calantha, what are you doing?” Eloise’s voice rang in alarm. “You could make it worse!”I didn’t 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 “My King, Ryker is here.” Bradley announced, standing at the head of the dining table as I cut into my steak.“Let him in.” 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 didn’t know why. Maybe it was because I hurt her when she didn’t deserve it. Still, I wouldn’t 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.“My King.”I 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

Stealing the Heart of the Lycan King Unexpected Savior?
NYXMy eyes widened in shock and fear. My heart thumped wildly as I stared at the broken pieces of the vase I had just smashed against his head.He lay on the floor, groaning in pain, a small trail of blood trickling from the side of his head. At least he was still alive. For a second, I had thought I killed him.“You…” he groaned, trying to crawl toward me, reaching for my foot. But before he could get close, I turned and ran—bolting out the door and down the hallway, my torn nightie flapping behind me, barely covering my body.I didn’t stop. Not even when I passed Aunt Diane, who was sitting in the foyer, lazily smoking her pipe. She sat up fast, sensing something was wrong. But I didn’t wait for her to ask. I just kept running.Because I knew that attacking an elite meant so much trouble for me. I was so done for. Once I burst through the gates and out onto the road, barefoot and shaking, I stopped in the middle of the street, my chest heaving. My ears rang with the sound of rushi
Stealing the Heart of the Lycan King The Visitor
NYXTrigger Warning: This chapter contains scenes of attempted assault and may be distressing for some readers. Please proceed with caution.~~~~After a while, I finished showering. The cold water stung the open cuts on my back from Aunt Diane’s whip, making me flinch every time it touched my skin. I bit back the tears, trying not to cry as I washed the blood away.Once I was done, I changed into the usual lingerie I wore on nights like this—thin, see-through, and short. It stopped just above my thighs, showing the lace panties and bra I wore underneath. I hated it. But I didn’t have a choice.I sat in front of the mirror, spraying some perfume on my neck and wrists. The smell filled the air, sweet and heavy. My stomach twisted, and I felt sick. My eyes were full of tears, but I held them back. I just stared at the broken girl looking back at me in the mirror.This was when I always blamed my mother. The anger inside me burned. If she had been a real mother, none of this would be hap
Stealing the Heart of the Lycan King Aunt Diane
NYXI didn’t miss the way Eloise kept glancing at me with concern during the entire car ride from the academy. Her silence spoke louder than words. Every time I felt her eyes on me, I looked away, pretending to be interested in the scenery outside the window, pretending everything was fine.When we finally arrived at my aunt’s mansion, I opened the door and stepped out quietly, shutting it behind me. Just as I turned to leave, her voice stopped me.“Should I come in with you?” She asked through the rolled-down window, her tone gentle but filled with worry.I forced a small smile onto my face as I looked up at her. “It’s fine. You don’t have to.”But the moment our eyes met, she caught the fear behind my mask. I saw it in her face—the way her expression shifted. She opened her door and got out at once. “Come on,” she said, reaching for my hand. “Let’s go in together.”“I already said it’s fine.” I pulled my hand back softly, not harshly, but firm enough that she understood I wasn’t g

CALANTHA“I remember my name now!” The timid boy said as we lay on the ground, breathing hard and trying to recover from the adrenaline rush. A small, relieved laugh escaped his lips. “Oh, gods… I actually remember!”“I remember too!” Eloise gasped, turning her head quickly to look at me. A wide, happy smile lit up her face, just like his. “Calantha. I remember now. Damn, I thought I was going to lose my mind back there.”I laughed softly, still catching my breath. It felt so strange that just a few minutes ago, I couldn’t even recognize the girl beside me as my best friend.This trial was definitely the hardest, scariest, and most confusing thing we had ever faced. And honestly, I would give anything not to go through the main tournament after this.“Come on. Let’s go find Nyx.” Eloise said, pushing herself up and reaching a hand out to me. I took it and stood, brushing dried leaves and dirt off my clothes. The others got up too, and I looked around.Other participants were stepping
Stealing the Heart of the Lycan King Illusions
CALANTHA As everyone started to panic, shouting things like “Who are you?” and “Why are we here?”, 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.“We’re being timed.” He said quietly.“Timed?” 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 ⅓.“Oh, thank the gods,” 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.“Well done.”He 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 —this 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. “That’s betrayal.” She said with a slight toss of her head, her voice sharp and confident.“Wait,” I said quickly, holding up a hand. “Could it be deception? Or maybe false love?”She let out a small snort. “I

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."It’ll work this time.” 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 won’t mess up again?""Oh really? Then why don’t you try it if you think it’s so easy!" Isadora snapped, glaring at her.Eloise scoffed. "Oh, now you admit it’s not easy? That’s funny coming from someone who said she’s the best in werewolf history.""You’re just jealous because I’m better than you!" Isadora hissed, her face red with anger."Me? Jealous of you?"
Stealing the Heart of the Lycan King 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 didn’t know. Each group was given a name, and ours was called Group Starlight. Nyx ended up in a different group.I couldn’t 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 couldn’t I have been in his group instead of her?"The gods, I’m 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. "You’ll each be taken to a different puzzle room. You’ll 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 Kaiden’s ‘little moment’, and Queen Adeline showing up at my doorstep. And Eloise and Nyx’s 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 one’s supposed to know I’m 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
