"Can you believe what we saw last night?" Cameron chuckled.

"As a matter of fact, I'm not surprised. After everything I've learnt about these people, nothing is too heinous for them to do," Kanyon explained. "Lets just take a look around and get going. I would rather not stay here another night."

"Yes two nights here is enough."

King Kanyon and Cameron added another night to their visit so they could tour the pack. The high-ranked quarters were lavishly decorated, and it pissed them off to learn that the omegas didn't dine with the rest of the pack. In fact, they would get the leftover foods that the high-ranked wolves didn't eat.

“Ah, there you both are,” Alpha Conroy acknowledged. "I wish you could stay a few more days. My wife and I plan to host a celebration for our twentieth wedding anniversary in the coming days.”

Cameron and Kanyon exchanged glances before speaking to the alpha.

"I'm afraid we can't do that. We have to leave today," Kanyon answered.

    Cameron didn't feel like going to Osbourne's castle. He thought Kanyon was too lenient in offering forgiveness. A century ago, Osbourne themed up with his brother and tried to have the King overthrown. He wanted to be the king himself. But they were tried for treason where his brother was locked up for eternity, and he was exiled to this place. ‘Are you sure about this, your majesty?’ Cameron asked through the link as the guards guided them inside the castle. ‘Yes. We won't stay long. I'm going to get his signature on these documents, and then we'll make our way back to the Warmblood pack. Alpha Daniel says Jessica is doing well.’ ‘Great and have you talked to Anna?’ Cameron wanted to know. The king shrugged. ‘Come on, man, she's carrying your pup. I know you smelt the truth on her.’ ‘I tried to block that out, but I guess I'll have to face it head-on. I can't shake off the image of Jessica's reaction when Anna said she was having my child.’ ‘That girl has been through too

    "So King Kanyon now owns our pack?" Beta Vernon couldn't believe what he was hearing. "How could you let this happen, Alpha?" "Don't use that tone with me, Vernon. I'm here at your house because I need a friend right now." "But we were never friends, Alpha," Vernon let out. "You always said I'm just your beta and nothing more." "Things have changed, and I say we're friends now," Conroy slurred. He had been drinking continuously ever since he found out that the twenty million dollars weren't meant for him. In the last two days, he neither ate nor took a shower. The unpleasant scent he gave off was driving beta Vernon mad. "Well a friend would tell you that you need a shower and a shave. You look like shit," Vernon stated. "I'll get my daughters to help you," he said. The beta asked his eldest daughter, Sara, to prepare a warm bath for the Alpha. Upon entering the room, Sara greeted both her father and Conroy. The way her dark curly hair framed her cute chubby face made her lo

    The car didn't even stop when Kanyon jumped from the passenger seat and rushed towards the hospital. The past few days felt unbearable without seeing Jessica. Cameron chose not to say anything to him. He was just happy that the king found a second chance mate. Speaking of mates, he had one to go greet as well. He could smell her scent all over the field which made him upset. He gave her strict orders not to leave the bedroom. Cameron followed her essence to the dining hall. It was lunchtime and most of the pack warriors were gathered having their meals. When he stepped into the lunch zone, he saw a large assembly of powerful wolves clad in shorts and muscle shirts thumping the tables while yelling, “CHUG!' CHUG! GHUG!" He could detect his mate's scent, but he couldn't see her with his eyes as yet. Someone yelled. "Go Reniece! Go Reniece!" Cameron's muscles tensed up. What in the Moon Goddess's name was going on here? He began to grab werewolves by the shoulders and thr

    "Are you sure you're alright?" Ariel took Jessica's hand between her palms. "Is your fever gone?" she felt Jessica's forehead. "Are you hungry? Do you want something to drink?" "Sweetheart," Alpha Daniel interrupted his wife. "I'm sure Jessica is feeling better. Right, dear?" he asked Jessica. "Right, Alpha. I'm fine. Thank you for being here with me," she flinched as she struggled to sit up in the bed. "The doctor thinks you're fit for travel," Daniel beamed. Doctor Anna came into the room to check the IV bag. "She seems to be doing much better. The blood transfusion went well thanks to the Luna, and now the omega is stabilized and hydrated." "Her name is Jessica," Ariel yelled. "It's OK cousin, no need to get angry," Jessica sighed. "Cousin?" Anna raised her brow. "Isn't it wonderful, Anna, that these two found out they're related?" Alpha Daniel beamed. "I'm just happy my darling knows she still has blood out there." "This world is too small, I tell you," Anna

  • THE REJECTED OMEGA IS THE LYCAN KING’S MATE   70: ANNA’S PREGNANCY

    The news of Anna's pregnancy spread through the Warmblood pack like wildfire. Anna told the cook, who brought dinner for her while she slept in the hospital. The cook told the stable-boy who told the handmaiden, who told the butler, who told the pack hairdresser, and you know nothing stays a secret once the hairdresser learns your business. It only took two hours for the pack to be whispering and gossiping about the king of all Lycan Kings and Anna's love affair. "I heard he couldn't resist her beauty," a she-wolf said to the gardener. "Well I heard she fed him stewed peas sprinkled with blood in order to seduce him," the gardener replied. So many different stories were getting around that the truth was getting lost in the lies. ***** "What the fuck Cameron! I told you Anna is having a boy and ten minutes later, it is all over the pack," Kanyon fumed. "I didn't say anything to anybody. I was surprised when Theo mentioned it to me and that boy doesn't even leave his

    Anna thanked the lycan with a smile for assisting her in moving her belongings into her bedroom. "Thank you for your help." "My pleasure, madam. If you need anything, I'll be stationed at your door. I am Lewis, by the way," the Lycan bowed. "And I'm Annabella, but everyone calls me Anna." "Alright Anna. Enjoy the rest of your morning and welcome to our kingdom," Lewis beamed before he left the chambers. Anna's face immediately fell into a scowl. She hoped that Kanyon would have been the one to take her to her new suite, but he dismissed her as if she were his biggest inconvenience and sent a staff member to guide her instead. "I'm so fucking pissed off right now!" she grunted as she kicked her shoes off. "It's not like Jessica's child was his. Why did he have to go with her to the grave?" 'Don't be bitter, Anna. The king will be here soon. So why don't you go freshen up and wear something sexy to catch his eyes,' her wolf suggested. 'I don't think I can look sexy wit

    "Enough about mascots! I could use some sleep right now,” Reniece yawned. "OK," Cameron chuckled. He grabbed two pillows along with a blanket and flung them down on the carpet. Reniece took it upon herself to go settle on the floor. "What are you doing?" "This is me resting my head on the pillow.” She fixed her head on the pillow. "And this is me getting ready to go to sleep.” She turned her back to him and pulled the blanket under her chin. Her eyes widened when she felt the blankets being dragged from her body. "What is the meaning of this?" "Get on the bed!" Cameron gritted out. "The floor is mine." "Did you mark your territory with piss or something? You take the bed," she bit back. "I feel like I’ve been cursed. You're so stubborn," he hissed. "Just get on the damn bed." "I prefer the floor,” she spoke calmly. "OK. Sleep on the damn floor if you want. I don't care,” Cameron complained while stepping over her and heading to the bed. "See. Wasn't that easy-peas

    King Kanyon remained patient while Jessica gathered her thoughts. He told her everything about how his wife died, well, almost everything. He left out the fact that Ellie is her aunt and her mother's twin sister. "Kanyon! I'm at a loss for words," she gasped. "How can one woman be so evil?" "I was on my way to gut her when I found you," he sighed. "Call it fate or coincidence, but I was meant to find you that day." "I'm glad you did,” she beamed. "There is something else I want to tell you," he stated. "I went to the Graceland pack and had a meeting with the alpha and Luna. I also met the red-headed harlots and Cory and his wife." "So they got married," she rolled her eyes. "Figures,” she scoffed. “But how did I not know you went to see them?” "It was after the vampire almost drained your blood. You were in and out of consciousness, and recovering in the hospital, so Cam and I used that time to pay the pack a little visit." "I wish I could have come." "I'm glad you did

  • THE REJECTED OMEGA IS THE LYCAN KING’S MATE   166: THE MONSTER IN THE MIST

    The land beyond the northern ridge was unrecognizable.What once was fertile farmland had turned to ash and bone. Smoke curled from still-smoldering fields, and the wind carried the iron stench of blood. Birds no longer sang here. Even the crows kept their distance.Kanyon led the charge, his beast just beneath the surface, itching to break free. DJ rode beside him, stoic as ever, though his knuckles were white against the reins. Behind them, a hundred of the kingdom's best warriors moved in formation, senses sharp, weapons drawn. The silence of the land disturbed even the most hardened among them."Your Majesty," Cameron said, eyes scanning the horizon. "Luxair Valley's gone. Burned clean through. No survivors."Kanyon didn't speak. He couldn't. His chest was a cage of pressure, tightening with every step closer to the truth. This wasn't the work of mindless beasts or rogue packs. This... this was war. And whoever had started it, they knew the kingdom intimately.He had a sinking fee

  • THE REJECTED OMEGA IS THE LYCAN KING’S MATE   165: CORY’S POSSESSION

    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
