THE LYCAN KING’S STOLEN MATE.

MERILYN“LUNA!” The loud shattering of ceramic shot through the air; shards flew all over the place. I froze mid-step and stared at the broken ceramic bowls. “Oh, that’s bad.” I stared at the maid; her face had gone pale,her eyes filled with dread as sweat dotted her forehead. “I’m sorry. I didn't mean to startle you.” I smiled apologetically. Her eyes darted to the top of the staircase as if waiting for my husband to materialize and yell at her. I moved closer, my hand stroking her shoulder. “Relax. He’ll be too much in a good mood to care about some broken ceramic bowls.” That was true. Warren would be too happy to care. After all his whiny texts for three days, pleading with me to come back early, I just couldn’t stay away. “Forgive me for breaking the plates; I didn’t know you would be back this early.” The maid said, still trembling beneath my touch. I nodded, noting the way her eyes kept shifting back and forth. “Whoever you’re trying to mind-link clearly doesn’t want t

MERILYNNever in my thirty years of living did I think I’d ever have a one-night stand, and not just that, I’d woken up to him still stuck inside of me. My legs quivered as a familiar rush of sensation coursed through me at the memory. The feeling of him filling me up, his tip nudging at a part inside my body I never thought existed. My body instinctively clamped down on him as I pushed him off, sending a mini-orgasm through me. Oh Goddess.“Snap out of it!” I muttered, squeezing my thighs tightly. I just cheated on my mate. I should be mortified, horrified that I’d done something as hideous as that. Instead, I was here fantasizing about the hot, naked man I’d woken up with this morning. Warren may have cheated—no, he definitely cheated, but I wasn’t him. I refused to stoop to his level. And then there were the memories of last night. Goddess, just let the ground swallow me!It’s a one-night stand. The chances that you’d ever see him again are zero. True. I exhaled with relie

MERILYNThink carefully. Or I might kill you if I don’t like your answer.I jerked awake with a scream. My eyes darted around searching for the threat, looking for the three-headed monster that had hovered over me, threatening to kill me. My stomach churned, cramps squeezing the life out of my organs. My heart calmed as I realized it was just a dream. I sighed, flopping down on the bed. Despite the chill air from the air conditioner, my skin remained sheen with sweat. It’s been three days since my last meeting with the Lycan King, and each night, he would visit me in various forms, repeating those words, tormenting me until I screamed myself awake. Why bother giving me options when I could only pick one?! You can always pick the other option, though. Death is not as scary as—I buried my face in my pillow and screamed. Why was my fate so unlucky?! Many hours later, I woke up with my face under the pillow. I groaned, forcing myself to sit up. Perhaps death was better than this

MERILYN.The Alpha King moved closer, covering the distance between us. I refused to back away, to show my fear even though I wanted nothing more than to run far away from him. “Are you that eager to die?” “You're planning to kill me anyway.” I answered, holding his gaze. His brows lowered, his eyes peered deep into my eyes like he could see my soul. “Your defiance is starting to piss me off.” The corner of his lip tilted up in a smirk, “But rather than kill you, I'll enjoy breaking you until there's nothing left.” His eyes glinted, a dark shadow crossing them showing just how terribly close his beast was to the surface. My body trembled with rage and fear, my hands clamped down so tightly I feared my nails would break my skin. I never should have gone to that bar. That was the beginning of my doom. If I was asked to choose, I'd rather go back to Warren than be the King's prisoner. He turned and walked out of the room, the door clicked shut behind him. My legs weakened and I st

KAIREN“Avoiding her is not the answer. If you knew you were going to stay away from her, you shouldn't have brought her back.” Valios sighed. I ignored him, dipped the end of the feather in ink and neatly scribbled my signature at the end of the paper. “You look tense, your Majesty.” Flinn pointed out and I scowled. “I'm fine.” “No, you're not.” Valios shot back. “Your room is conditioned in a way to make you sleep, something no other room in this castle can do and you haven't spent a single night in there for days.” “I'm not as weak as you make me out to be, Valios. My beast was well sated from my last lay.”“You're not weak. Heaven help those who think you are. You're strong, too strong in fact that I think it's messing with your mind and making you think you're capable of doing something you can't do.” I sighed. “Can you stop nagging me? You're not my mate.” Valios scowled and Flinn chuckled. “Stop chuckling. You're supposed to help me change his mind.” “Alright.” Flinn th
