Lucien’s POV

The last few days had been different.

I had questioned my sanity countless times - on my way to retrieve the Moon Heart, in the thorn bushes where Selena refused to pledge her allegiance, and last night, as I trailed her along the bushy path of the den.

She shifted beside me, fist balled, the intensity of her rage burning into my skin.

As much as I refused to admit it, buried somewhere in my heart was a realization: Selena hadn’t just occupied a room in my place,she’d also taken up space in my heart.

She howled. An uproar approached from the other side. My gaze shifted, hardened, and bloodthirsty, ready to fight to the end.

Dax’s scouts carried swords and shields. I adjusted my feet in the muddy sand, Ragnar standing next to Selena, Vira next to me, and a few of our scouts geared up behind us, eyes peering into the distance.

Metal clanged. One of the scouts launched his axe at me. My hands moved swiftly to the shield lying next to a dead enemy.

I kicked him

  • The Alpha King's Captive Bride: Forbidden Desires    chapter 26: the steeper trouble

    Selena's POV**My eyes flickered, met by the rough surface of the cave top. I stared.Another presence weighed strongly in the air. My head banged.I clutched my head as I sat up. There he was at the mouth of the cave. Lucien stood, gazing into the distance.Memories of the other day flooded my head. I shrieked.A stary tear dropped from my eyes. Was I really going to kill Lucien?“You're awake.” Lucien turned. His face was expressionless.I glanced at him. His blue icy eyes were now sunken, and shoulders had been patched.I let my gaze fall to the ground as I nodded.His long legs kept pushing towards me. “Don’t come any closer. I don’t know what I might do next,” my palm spreading out to make him halt.He did halt, a foot away from me. “Look at me, Selena. I want to see your eyes.” His voice, low but firm, echoed into the room.My head shifted under my arm… then slowly pushed back up.“How do you feel?” His voice, bearing the weight of a groan, burst.I paused. I knew the question w

  • The Alpha King's Captive Bride: Forbidden Desires    Chapter 24: Chasing Shadows

    The forest swallowed me whole, its darkness thick and heavy, the air sharp with pine and wet dirt. My bare feet sank into the mud, cold and slick, each step a fight, my breath puffing white in the faint moonlight. The bag slapped against my hip, light but loaded with my choice—to run, to shield the pack, to escape the mess I’d made. But Lucien’s touch lingered, his kiss a brand on my lips, his heat tugging me back, damn him. I pushed forward, green eyes sharp, scanning the trees, their branches jagged and black, clawing at the sky like broken fingers.A twig cracked behind me, loud and sudden. My heart lurched, chest squeezing, green eyes wide as I spun, breath locked tight. Nothing—just the wind, leaves whispering, the forest alive and watching. But I felt it—someone close, stalking me, their presence heavy. I bolted, feet sliding, mud grabbing at me, pulse pounding, fear and anger churning hot in my stomach. He was coming. I knew it, his growl echoing in my head, his voice—you’re mi

  • The Alpha King's Captive Bride: Forbidden Desires    Chapter 23: Dax's Ultimatum

    The den stank of blood and fear when the scout stumbled in, his body a wreck—fur torn, one eye a swollen mess, claws scraping the stone floor as he fell hard. I froze, my bare feet cold against the dirt, green eyes wide, watching from the shadows as the hall went dead quiet. Lucien lunged forward, his boots slamming the ground, a growl tearing from his throat, low and vicious. He dropped to his knees beside the scout, scarred hands gripping the wolf’s shoulder, ice-blue eyes blazing like a storm about to break. “What happened?” he snarled, voice rough, the air thick with tension, the metallic tang of blood choking me.The scout coughed, wet and ragged, blood flecking his cracked lips. “Dax… sent a message,” he rasped, his voice barely there, shaking. “Hand over Selene… or the pack burns… by dawn.” My chest locked tight, green eyes fierce, the words hitting me like a blade, cold and sharp. Lucien’s growl deepened, his fingers digging into the scout’s shoulder, scars flexing under the t

  • The Alpha King's Captive Bride: Forbidden Desires    Chapter 22: Healing Touch

    Selene’s POVThe shack’s walls sagged, rot seeping from the wood, the air thick with damp and the sour stink of blood. Mist curled outside, gray and heavy, choking the pines, but inside, it was just us—me and Lucien, bruised and torn, the seer’s words still clawing at my skull: Break it as one, or burn as one. My bare feet stuck to the dirt floor, cold and gritty, jeans ripped at the thigh, blood streaking my skin from the scout fight—mine, theirs, his. Lucien slumped against the wall, shirt shredded, chest heaving, scars slashed open by claws, blood dripping dark and slow, pooling in the dirt. His ice-blue eyes glinted, half-lidded, pain etched deep, but alive—damn him, alive and pulling me in. I dropped to my knees beside him, mud sucking at my skin, green eyes sharp, breath tight in my chest. “You’re a mess,” I said, voice low, rough, hands shaking as I tore a strip from my sweater—already frayed, soaked with sweat and filth. He growled, low and wet, ice-blue flicking to me, his l

  • The Alpha King's Captive Bride: Forbidden Desires    Chapter 21: The Hunt for Answers

    Selene’s POVThe forest stank of wet earth and rot, mist so thick it clung to my skin like a damp shroud, cold and slimy. My bare feet sank into the muck, toes curling against the chill, jeans plastered to my legs, heavy with mud and blood from yesterday’s kill. The letter in my pocket burned against my thigh—golden wolf, blood ties, betrayal, curse—its ink bleeding into my thoughts, eating me alive. Ahead, Lucien prowled, boots squelching, his shirt soaked to his scarred chest, muscles flexing under the thin fabric, ice-blue eyes cutting through the gloom. Last night, his growl had pinned me to the wall—you’re mine, curse or not—his breath hot on my neck, stirring something dark and hungry in me. Now we chased the seer, the one who’d known my mother, who might unravel the howl tearing me apart, the curse sinking its claws deeper every damn day. The air turned sour, a wet-dog reek hitting me hard—wolves, too close, stalking us. My green eyes flared, chest tightening, every muscle coi
