"So why did you call me down here before dinner is ready, Cameron?" The king asked as he followed Cam to the alpha's office.

"The alpha requested to see us alone before we head to the grand hall for dinner."

Kanyon was still soaring high after his amazing afternoon with Jessica. After she got dressed, they went for a walk down by the meadows.

He enjoyed listening to Jessica recite the fairytales her father used to tell her. Every moment the king spent with her, he realized Ellie and Jess only had their looks in common.

Everything was completely different. He marvelled as Jessica took her slippers off and sank her toes into the cool earth. Ellie would have never done that. She didn't like to get dirty unless she was in her beast form.

"Oh, Jessica," Kanyon murmured, forgetting that he was walking alongside Cameron.

"Holy shit, man," Cam sighed. "You better change your name to Usher because you got it bad," he laughed.

"Can we go back to the time when we didn't talk f

  • THE REJECTED OMEGA IS THE LYCAN KING’S MATE   46: THE MISTRESS

    Alpha Daniel strolled inside the grand hall with his mistress on his arm. After his mate died, he took Ariel as his companion, but he never claimed her out of respect for his late wife, his son's mother. As Ariel passed, a few of the older wolves snickered in displeasure, yet the short-haired she-wolf maintained her proud posture. She believed in the love the alpha had for her. Jessica couldn't take her eyes off the couple. She leaned over to Kanyon and whispered, "why are they looking at her like that? Don't they like their Luna?" Jessica wondered. Her thoughts returned to the Graceland pack, which was formerly known as the Venomous pack. Despite Luna Magda being the devil in wolf's clothing, her people adored her, particularly because her family has led the pack for centuries. When the Luna's mother gave birth to her and then to her sisters, her father worried that he might lose the pack to another family because he had not produced a male heir. But Magda's combative skills

    As Adam drove along the narrow road to the Graceland pack, the air felt cold and crisp. He kept the heat gauge in the car low due to the rotting corpse lying in the trunk. His wolf was in grief as the bitter taste of death crawled up his snout, making his eyes water and leaving a nasty taste in his mouth. As soon as the tires screeched near the gate, he mindlinked the Luna. 'Luna, I'm back. I have ran into trouble.' He made sure he was out of sight from the guards, knowing they would sound the alarm if they found him with Gary’s lifeless body. Adam turned the car lights off as he waited for the Luna to reply. The pack members were gathered in the main hall for supper as Alpha Conroy informed them about the disappearance of several female she-wolves. He focused his gaze on the Luna while he spoke. He realized she might be connected to the disappearances, since all of them were females he’d been intimate with, but he couldn't prove it. The Luna’s body tensed when she got Adam’s m

  • THE REJECTED OMEGA IS THE LYCAN KING’S MATE   48: ARIEL THORNTON

    Jessica found the completely empty hallways quite unsettling. She often saw the pack house alive with energy and filled with pack members engaged in their daily activities. Today, however, was an incredibly special day for the Warmblood pack, and everyone, even the omegas and school children, had been excused from their daily work. King Kanyon guided Jessica through the corridors. He couldn't resist admiring how in awed she was of everything around her. His beast was happy to see the excitement on her face. The staircase was decorated with red roses and white tulips, offering a lovely pathway for the bride. Jessica and Kanyon quickly took their seats in the front row. The ceremony was being held in the backyard out in the open under the moonlight and stars. With a deep breath, Jessica set her mind to experience the moment when two people became one. She found herself feeling emotional, this was exactly how she pictured the ceremony with her mate would be. But now that she expe

    "So our fathers were brothers," Jessica sobbed as she held the family tree in her hand. She kept staring at her father's name. He was the firstborn son to omega parents. "I guess that makes us cousins," Ariel sniffled. Her dad was Jessica's father's younger brother. Jessica's amber eyes shot up to look at the Luna. "I never had a cousin before," Jessica giggled. "Me either," Ariel laughed. "I guess we should hug now." "Yeah, I guess we should," Jessica wrapped her arms tightly around Ariel, who was also sobbing like a child. They both thought they were alone in this world and had no family left. Now that they found each other felt like a blessing. "This is the best gift anyone could have given me on my wedding day, Jessica," Ariel sniffled. "Thank you." "Alright, enough of this. I don't want you to ruin what's left of your makeup," Jessica chuckled as she pulled away from the hug. Both ladies were sitting on the bed facing each other with their feet folded beneath th

    "Vampires!" Kanyon growled as the undead creatures stormed in through the double doors. There were three of them and their eyes were red like hot lava, but had a cold look to them at the same time. He could smell their evil, but also their excitement. They found pleasure in wreaking havoc on the werewolf species. "King Tomas, what are you doing on my lands, uninvited?" Alpha Daniel snapped. "If the High Priestess hears of this, you could face decades in the underground cellars." Some of the werewolves were hiding beneath the tables, while some stood crouched and in formation beside their Alpha. The Vampire king's face didn't move, but Kanyon could have sworn his eyes lit up with some sort of emotion. His midnight black velvet coat was long with a high collar framing his elongated pale face. There were many rubies and other precious gems glinting along the fabric. Slowly, his eyeballs moves around in their sockets, soaking in the decorations around him. Kanyon found his actions

    "Ten, nine, eight, seven," King Tomas began the countdown as Alpha Daniel was flushed with panic. Kingston had his claws ready to slash Anna's throat out. "Wait!" It was King Kanyon who shouted. "I'll take you to your son." "What are you doing?" The Alpha hissed. "Trust me, I know what I'm doing," Kanyon snapped. "King Tomas, release Anna and I will take you to your son. You have my word," Kanyon slowly nodded his head. The vampire king sighed as if he was bored before instructing Kingston to unhand Anna. "Are you sure, Sire, that I can't have just a tiny drop?" Kingston begged. "You greedy bastard. I said unhand the she-wolf at once!" King Tomas barked. Kingston grunted, but then he thrust Anna forward, who ran straight into Kanyon's arms, crying her eyes out. "Shh, you're alright," Kanyon cooed. "Go with Alpha Daniel. I will be back in a while to check up on you." "Please, don't go with them," Anna begged him, looking up at his face with pleading eyes. "I hav

    Prince Theodore crept to the back of his cell and sat on the floor, hugging his knees to his chest. His back was even harder and colder than the wall he rested against. He could smell his father and a couple of other vampires making their course down to the cells. He gulped, dreading to face the creature he was so afraid of. As for Ren, she slipped into the darkest part of her cage. Her beast was on the edge as she sensed the power coming their way. The vampires, along with Kanyon marched in like they were soldiers on a raid. "Your Majesty," Cam bowed as soon as he saw his king. "Theodore, are you alright, son? Have they hurt you?" Tomas asked as he rushed up to the cell where the young boy was. "Why aren't you talking? Did they do something to you?" Theodore still did not answer. He just kept his head down, pressed to his knees. "He doesn't want to talk to you," Cam answered. The vampire king's eyeballs rolled inside their sockets like marbles as his gaze found the lyca

    "Oh Goddess!" Jessica giggled as she listened to Ariel tell her funny stories about her childhood. "I could listen to you all day everyday, but we've been gone a long time." "You're right. My husband must be getting restless. I'm going to freshen up before I return to the celebration, but you can go on ahead without me,” Ariel smiled. "Are you sure you don't want me to stay with you?" Jessica asked, wanting to make sure her cousin was alright. "I’m sure. I just need a moment to catch my breath," Ariel sighed. "In that case, I think I'll go grab some fresh air myself. I need to clear my head," Jessica stated. "See you in a bit." "OK," Ariel nodded. "And Jessica, don't be sad that you can't have any more pups. King Kanyon is still smitten with you. Look at me, I don't have a wolf and I still became Luna of this pack." "I guess you're right," Jessica smiled as she walked out of Ariel's bedroom. She practically ran down the hallways, stopping only when she saw a door. She di

    The night air was thick with mist, curling like fingers along the crooked streets. In the distance, lycans howled, but here, near the edges of the kingdom, the shadows moved differently—heavier, hungrier.The Baktu glided through the mist like smoke, her form barely visible to mortal eyes. Where she passed, streetlamps flickered and dimmed, casting long, twitching shadows over the cracked pavement.Her target stumbled out of a dingy bar, reeking of ale and regret.Cory.Once a proud man, now reduced to a shell of himself, unshaven, bloodshot eyes, clothes rumpled. He lurched forward, muttering slurred curses under his breath. Constance followed silently, savouring the desperation that rolled off him in waves."Oh Jessica," he muttered, lifting a bottle of moonshine wrapped in a brown paper bag to his head. He still obsessed over her. Still pined for what he had lost—and would never reclaim on his own.Cory kicked a broken bottle down the sidewalk, his boot scuffing the asphalt as he s

    June's hands hovered above Daniel's broken body, magic swirling at her fingertips. Her lips pressed into a hard line as she tried spell after spell. The lights flickered, danced—and fizzled out, but nothing else was happening. She felt drained and she felt like giving up. With a frustrated grunt, June finally sat back on her heels. She wiped the sweat from her brow and looked at them all."I can't summon Opal," she said heavily. "Her magic... it's too strong. It's like trying to leash a hurricane with a fishing net. She'll feel the attempt and shake it off."A heavy silence fell over the room."The only way to get her here is," June added. "To go to her and convince her to come to us. The only thing I know is she lives on Mystic Mountain."Ariel tightened her arms around herself, staring down at Daniel, whose pitiful, animalistic whimpers were growing weaker by the second."Mystic Mountain..." Jessica murmured, exchanging a worried glance with Kanyon.DJ's jaw tightened. "Then we go.

    Ariel didn't stop running until she reached the far end of the hallway. She had Dante wailing against her chest with one hand and the other holding her phone. Her hands shook so badly she almost dropped her phone as she fumbled to call DJ."Come back here. Now," she gasped the moment he answered. Her voice cracked with panic. "Please — it's Daniel. Something's wrong!"She hung up before he could say anything.Seconds later, DJ came tearing around the corner, his face pale and panicked.He skidded to a stop in front of her, reaching for Dante without hesitation."Take him to Reniece," Ariel choked out, handing the crying baby into DJ's arms. "Don't let Daniel near him. I have to get Queen Jessica and King Kanyon!"Without waiting for a response, Ariel spun and ran. The corridors blurring as she pushed herself faster.She found the King and Queen in their sitting room, hugging. It looked like they had made up after that heated argument earlier. They broke apart the second they saw Arie

    The guest suite was too quiet. The kind of silence that pressed down on Ariel's chest and made it hard to breathe.She sat stiffly on the edge of the sofa, nervously twisting the hem of her sweater. Across from her, Daniel shifted in the armchair, his movements stiff, mechanical, wrong.His eyes, which were once so warm and so full of life — now looked hollow, like windows to a house long abandoned.DJ grinned from ear to ear, then he clapped a hand on his father's shoulder."Man, it's good to have you back, Dad," he said, his voice thick with emotion.Daniel smiled weakly but said nothing. His gaze flickered between DJ and Ariel, confusion and unease poorly masked behind that ghost of a smile.Ariel's heart squeezed painfully.He didn’t remember me. Nor did he remembered their son.But worse than that — worse than the empty look in his eyes was the smell.It wasn't fully vampiric, it lacked that sickly-sweet pungency, but it was there.Lingering in the air. Just wrong and unorthodox.

  • THE REJECTED OMEGA IS THE LYCAN KING’S MATE   161: KANYON’S FURY

    The heavy doors to their quarters slammed shut behind them with a deafening boom. Jessica flinched at the sound but refused to cower. She stood her ground as Kanyon paced in front of the fireplace, the muscles in his jaw ticking furiously. Yes, he was upset when he found out that Jessica dabbled in dark magic to bring Daniel back to life. But this, finding out that Constance is now a Baktu made everything even more detrimental. The temperature in the room felt hotter than the flames licking the hearth, the fury rolling off Kanyon in suffocating waves."You went behind my back," Kanyon growled, his voice a low, dangerous rumble. "You. My Queen. The one person I should be able to trust above all others!"Jessica crossed her arms defiantly. "I did what needed to be done, Kanyon. You don't understand—""No! You don't understand!" he roared, whipping around to face her. His eyes, usually molten gold with warmth, now blazed like wildfire. "You brought back a dead Alpha using forbidden mag

    "King Kanyon!" Daniel bowed. "What is going on and why am I here?" Daniel strode over to the king while he finished buttoning his shirt. "Alpha Daniel. Is that really you?""Of course it is, Your Majesty. Is this some kind of April Fool's joke?" he scoffed. "I wish it was," Cameron mumbled. "What's the last thing you remember?" Kanyon asked. "Well, Sofia and I had just celebrated our twentieth wedding anniversary. First, we wandered through the park, then we ran a bit in wolf form, and after that, we went to bed. The next thing I knew I was waking up on that table over there," he finished, pointing to the mage's gurney-like table. "Father, that was over ten years ago," DJ spoke up. "Mom has been dead for fifteen years."Daniel's eyes landed on the tall, muscular man that just called him father. He looked like his son, but a way more mature version. "DJ, is that you? But you look so old. And Sofia is not dead. She can't be." "I'm thirty-five now, Dad, and yes, mom is dead." "How

    "Cameron, what's going on? Everything started shaking, and I thought we were having an earthquake," Ren rushed into her husband's arms the moment she laid eyes on him. His gaze wandered to Theodore, who had a terrified Falcon in his arms."No, it's not an earthquake." He kissed the top of his wife's head before spreading a viral message through the pack link, urging all castle residents to get to their bedrooms, lock their doors, and widows then fortify the entrances with Moon Petals. He instructed the guards to secure every entrance and exit in the castle with Moon Petals as well. No one should come in or go out. "Are we under attack?" Falcon asked as he sank his face into Theodore's chest. The vampire prince held his mate tightly, stroking his shoulder for comfort. "No, but someone is doing something inside the castle that they shouldn't be doing," Cam let out. "Everyone stay close together and follow me. We're going to Lucy's chambers."******"Your Majesty," one of the nannies b

    King Kanyon sat down at the head of the table while he conducted this meeting. “Cameron, is the Graceland kid still lurking around the town?” Kanyon inquired. “You mean Cory? Yes, he’s still being a creep. My informants told me he has been spending most of his time in the crafts shops,” Cam chuckled. “Why the hell was he still here?” Kanyon gritted his teeth. “I don’t know, but as long as he doesn’t come near the castle, and near Twinkle, I’m good,” Cam added. “Is there anything you’d like to add, DJ? Do you need any help with anything?” Kanyon asked DJ. “No. I cannot think of anything right now, but if I do, I’ll let you know,” he stated and the king could taste the sorrow on DJ as the young Alpha spoke, but he kept his composure. DJ's voice didn't crack once. “So Annabella is really gone?" he asked, leaning back in his seat with his palms resting flat on the table. "I'm sorry, man. I know how much she meant to you," Cameron rested a palm on DJ's shoulder. "Thank you, Master

    “You will not have either of us!” Jessica exclaimed in a fit of rage as she confronted the being possessing her cousin. "Let me help you rephrase that,” it smirked. “I cannot have you — yet," Constance put emphasis on the word ‘yet’ which made Jessica angrier. Constance felt Ariel's soul fighting for its body back. "It looks like my time here is running out. Even though I know you've been warned already Queen Jessica, but I think I will warn you again. Mistress Paloma says Alpha Daniel's soul already belongs to her, so if you do this spell and bring him back to life, then there will be grave consequences.""What kind of consequences?" June asked. "The bad kind," Constance let out. She felt Ariel pushing her out now. "I will go now, but one of you has to break the seal." June walked up to her and used her foot to break the circle. Ariel began to throw up what looked and smelt like tar. Jessica sprinted to her side and held her hair away from her face. The tar transformed into black
