LYSANDRA

“Welcome back, Miss.” Gia greeted with her usual warm smile as she helped me take off my backpack.

“How was school today?”

“Boring, like always.” I sighed, letting her take the bag from my shoulder.

Gia had been my personal maid since she was eight, and over the years, we had grown close. More like best friends than anything else.

But she never dropped the formal tone. Maybe it was because my mother never liked it when she did. Even when we were little, one disapproving look from my mother was enough to keep Gia in line.

“You know,” Gia said with a soft laugh as we walked through the entrance of the mansion, “most top students love school. But you? You're a mystery.”

I gave her a small smile. “I know, right?”

But the truth was, my grades weren’t really for me. They were for my mother. I worked hard, stayed on top, played the perfect daughter just so she would look at me with even a hint of approval. That was the way I had lived my life.

As we reached the foyer, I saw my moth

  • Stealing the Heart of the Lycan King   What Comes After a Breakup

    NYXThat night, Cross helped me pack my things from Eloise’s place, and drove me back to his apartment.As we stepped inside, I had to cover my mouth with both hands to keep from crying all over again.If someone had told me just this morning that I’d be back here—in his apartment, as his girlfriend again—I would’ve laughed in their face. Or maybe cried. Because I was sure we were done. I was sure I’d lost him.But here we were. Back. Somehow.My eyes scanned the apartment as if I hadn’t seen it in years, even though I’d only left that morning. “You missed being here, didn’t you?” Cross’s voice came from behind me, his arms wrapping around my waist. I leaned into him, my head rested on his chest. I nodded.“Yes.” My voice cracked as I looked up at him. My lips trembled with a smile. “And I missed you too.”It amazed me, how how fast and deep I’d fallen for this male. But I didn’t regret it. “I missed you too, beautiful one.” His voice was tender and full of that same ache. He leaned

  • Stealing the Heart of the Lycan King   Eloise’s Blessings

    CROSSI had two choices: either go to Nyx and tell her the good news first, or go confront my father about what I’d just found out. That he wasn’t my real dad.I chose the first. The second option felt like stepping into a storm I wasn’t ready for. Especially if what Nyx’s mother had told me was actually true.So as I got back on the road, I dialed Eloise. She answered after a few rings.“Hey,” she said, her voice soft like she had been expecting me. And from her tone, I could already tell that my hunch had been right. Nyx had gone to her. That alone brought a wave of relief over me.“Hey, El,” I began. “Is Nyx with you? I really need to see her.”She didn’t reply right away. Then after a brief pause, she spoke gently.“Cross… she said she can’t see you right now. She’s hurting, Cross. And I think you are too. Maybe some space will help you both heal…”“We’re not half siblings,” I cut in, my eyes focused on the road, one hand gripping the wheel and the other tight around the phone. I

  • Stealing the Heart of the Lycan King   The Revelation

    CROSSNyx’s mother sat across from me at the restaurant, hunched over her plate and eating like she hadn’t seen food in days. It was hard not to stare. The way she chewed, her mouth full and unapologetic, was embarrassing to watch. Yet, I couldn’t look away. I just sat there, arms folded across my chest, a quiet frustration building inside me.This woman… my mother? The heavens really did have a twisted sense of humor, didn’t they?I glanced down at my wristwatch again. She’d been eating non-stop, shoving food into her mouth as if we were at some all-you-can-eat buffet she had to win. She’d insisted we order half the menu, claiming she needed to “fill her stomach before talking.”I was starting to lose my patience.“Are you going to start talking, or do you plan to eat the entire restaurant first?” I asked, trying to keep my tone even despite the irritation that laced it.She didn’t answer immediately. Instead, she looked up at me briefly with a piece of chicken clutched in her hand

  • Stealing the Heart of the Lycan King   Reunion in Cell

    CALANTHAI was sitting on the edge of my bed while the elder physician ran his usual checks—taking my temperature, inspecting my eyes, drawing a little blood. It was the third day in a row he was doing this, always performing the same set of tests like he was trying to confirm something over and over again.I watched him as he began packing up his tools into his leather case. “What’s going on?” I asked, curiosity rising in my chest. “Is there something wrong with me?”He paused slightly, then gave a soft chuckle. “Oh, nothing to worry about, My Luna,” he said, glancing up at me while still tucking things into his bag. His eyes were sparkling with what looked like joy. A faint smile curled at the corners of his lips. “If anything, it’s good news.”“Good news?” I leaned forward a little, my heart thumping. I moved to the very edge of the bed so I could hear him better. For some reason, I felt nervous.He finally stopped packing, straightened a little, and looked directly into my eyes.

  • Stealing the Heart of the Lycan King   Shutting The Door

    CROSSI stood there, watching helplessly as Nyx stuffed her things into her bag, barely able to see through the tears streaming down her face. She was crying so hard her body trembled with each sob, and yet she kept packing, as if finishing this one act could make all the pain disappear.I wanted to help her. Wanted to hold her. But my hands felt useless. My voice had already tried—again and again—but she wouldn’t listen. She wouldn’t even look at me.Just a few hours ago, before we had picked up her things from her aunt’s place, we made promises to each other and made plans. Now all of that was in ruins, lying somewhere in the ashes of the truth we never saw coming.The truth that Nyx’s mother… was also mine.So that was it. We were half-siblings.The gods really didn’t have a better way to punish me, did they?I stood still, aching all over, as Nyx zipped up her bag and dragged it toward the door. She didn’t say a word. Just brushed past me like she was leaving my apartment—and my l

  • Stealing the Heart of the Lycan King   The Maid

    LYSANDRA“Wh-Who are you?” I asked, still gasping for air as the maid crouched beside me, her arms reaching out to help.“My name is Rose. I work here, Miss,” she said softly, slipping one hand behind my neck for support while the other steadied me by the waist.My gaze flicked to Hera’s unconscious body on the floor. She had been so unnaturally strong, yet a tray had knocked her out cold? That was quite strange.I turned back to Rose, who was now guiding me away. My confusion shifted into suspicion.“I’ve never seen you here before.” I said carefully, studying her. Her skin was smooth, her hands delicate, her scent like wildflowers in bloom. Maids didn’t smell like summer. They smelled like bleach or kitchen smoke.“Maybe because I’m new.” She answered with a light chuckle. But I stopped walking, and planted my feet to the ground. So did she.She looked into my eyes, waiting.“You’re not a maid,” I said, swallowing deeply. “So how about you tell me who the hell you really are before
