HERA

A COUPLE HOURS LATER

“You may wrap up the body now.” Hera ordered and the guards who were also standing in the examination room bowed and quietly obeyed. They carefully covered the boy’s body.

Beside her, Tara was washing her hands in a small basin, the water tinted red from the autopsy. She had rushed back to the pack as soon as Kaiden sent word, cancelling her trip to Onyx Pack without hesitation.

Neither of them had expected what they found in the boy’s blood.

“Gothel,” Tara whispered under her breath. Her hands moved slowly in the water, her gaze fixed and distant. She was obviously still in shock. “Who would’ve imagined this.”

Hera was shaken too—but for a different reason. While the discovery disturbed her, what really unsettled her was Tara. Their tense encounter from the other day still echoed in her mind, especially Tara’s strange words that hinted she knew more than she should. Now that Tara wasn’t leaving the pack anymore, Hera didn’t see any reason to delay this confr

    CALANTHA ONE YEAR LATER ——— “I still can’t believe your mate turned out to be the same man you once trapped with your love potion. Talk about fate.” Eloise teased, her eyes sparkling as she leaned toward Lysandra, who sat before the vanity while the maids worked on her makeup. “Oh, please, Eloise,” Lysandra scoffed, clicking her tongue. “I told you already. Once I realized Ezra only liked me because of that potion, I broke it. This is real love now. And I love him too. He’s a true gentleman.” Nyx and I burst out laughing, while Eloise smirked and leaned back, exposing her bulging stomach. “Still doesn’t change the fact that you bewitched him first with your little potion.” She said stubbornly. Lysandra growled in protest, but when Eloise laughed, she couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “You let Eloise get under your skin too easily,” Nyx said, smoothing lipstick onto her lips. “She’s just a bully. You should know better by now.” As for me, I was already dressed, waiting for the

    CALANTHAA WEEK LATER———I set down the bowl of water I’d just used to wipe Kaiden’s body, then adjusted the pillow beneath his head and pulled the blanket neatly over him.“We can’t have you looking anything less than the hot, handsome king you are when you finally wake up,” I whispered, blushing as I smoothed the blanket, pretending he could hear me. “You need to look presentable, even to yourself. Oh, and guess what?”A grin tugged at my lips as I studied his peaceful, beautiful face.“Your people aren’t angry with you. If anything, they’re angry with themselves for not realizing their king was carrying such a heavy burden.” My grin widened. “So you see? You were worried for nothing.”The door creaked softly behind me. I turned to see Aria slipping into the chamber, a faint smile on her lips.“Hey, you. How’s it going?” She asked.“Fairly well,” I said with a small nod before turning back to Kaiden.Aria pulled up a chair beside me, her eyes resting on Kaiden’s still form.“Still

  • Stealing the Heart of the Lycan King   The Chant Recital

    CALANTHABACK AT THE PACKHOUSE———We had captured Gothel at last, and now she lay chained to a massive bed in the prayer room. Iron cuffs bound her wrists and ankles, forcing her still, though her voice thundered with curses that shook the air.“Wretched, filthy mortals!” she spat, thrashing against the chains. “You think a chant will undo me? You are fools! I curse you! I curse every last one of you!”But Aria didn’t budge. She treated Gothel’s words like empty noise, not worth a glance. Instead, she focused on Lysandra and me, walking us through the dark willow chant.“This is impossible.” Lysandra dragged her hands through her hair and twisted it into a rough knot. Her lips trembled as she spoke. “I don’t know about Calantha, but I’ve never even heard of this chant, much less recited it. You’ll doom everyone in the realm if you expect us to carry out a ritual this powerful.”“She’s right.” My voice cracked, heavy from tears and exhaustion. My heart still ached over Queen Adeline’s

    CROSSA FEW HOURS AGO:———I killed the engine in front of Ryker’s apartment and leapt out, storming toward the elevator. The pounding in my head, the sting in my ankle, and the sharp stab in my side all screamed at me to stop, but I ignored them.All souvenirs from my brawl with my father. No, scratch that. I meant Slade. Not my father. Never my father. The gods could line up and I’d kiss each one on the forehead for that blessing.The elevator doors slid open, and I marched down the hall. Before I could press the bell, Ryker’s door creaked open. His brows shot up, caught between confusion and surprise. Judging by his clothes, he was headed out. Headed straight to Slade. Exactly what I feared.“What are you—”I grabbed his collar, shoved him back into the apartment, and slammed the door shut.He struggled against my grip, outrage burning in his eyes.“What the hell is your problem?!” he barked, teeth clenched as his back hit the wall. “You want a fight?”“Are you running to him? To

  • Stealing the Heart of the Lycan King   The Beloved Son

    Outside the packhouse, more chaos reigned.Kaiden’s beast was restless. He roared, ruined most of the exteriors of the packhouse. It was obvious he wanted to be let out. But that would only result in deaths, and if that happened, that would be the last straw to break the camel’s back.Soldiers moved in tight formations, struggling to keep the massive Lycan within the walls. He lunged and swiped at anyone who got too close, his claws leaving deep marks in the stone floor.“Hold the line!” one of the soldiers shouted to the others. “Don’t let him through!”Hana barked orders while deflecting a sudden charge from the beast. Her chest heaved with effort, sweat streaking her face. Despite her own fear, she refused to back down.“Are you fools blind?” Slade suddenly stepped forward from the shadows, his dark coat billowing slightly with his confident stride. It was time for him to play his manipulation cards and put an end to all these. To him, the throne was already his Ryker’s for the tak

  • Stealing the Heart of the Lycan King   Best Friends Who Fight Together

    ARIAOne thing about mortals that never ceased to amaze me was their weakness when it came to making choices. Their hearts clung so tightly to their attachments that it clouded their reason. As a goddess, I had emotions too. Yes. But I was never bound by them. I did not obsess. Not even over the daughters I once bore into this world. That was simply how I was created. Nothing personal.So watching Gothel twist her words like a dagger into Queen Adeline’s heart, playing with her mind, made my blood simmer. Yet, I knew mortals—I had learned to let their fragile hearts stumble before they learned. I had learned patience, even when it burned.“Please… save me, Mother. Don’t let them kill me,” Raya’s trembling voice whispered into Queen Adeline’s ear, soft and pitiful.I had to hand it to Gothel—her manipulation was art. She knew exactly which strings to pull. That voice might have sounded like Raya’s, but it was nothing more than a sliver of her true self. A fading echo buried under l
