Keira's pov

"We are so proud of you Maya." My mother gently caressed my sister's cheek with affection.

"You've brought great honour to this family and tomorrow we would be the envy of all the families in the kingdom." She continued.

She glanced at me for a fleeting moment and the joy in her eyes diminished.

"At least one of you are good at something." She muttered and her words pierced through me like every other time.

I should have been used to the snarky comments but they hit they're mark at me every single time.

It wasn't a secret I was a great disappointment to my parents and my family. I was everything my perfect sister was not. Beautiful, gracious and blessed with a beautiful wolf.

My parents had been worried when I was unable to transform and they tried everything within their power, including visiting seers, to nudge my wolf out . Eventually they knew it was helpless and gave up.

I watched the light and love in their eyes slowly sip away as the years passed by.

"You are about to become a queen to the entire Kingdom." My father's voice boomed with pride.

"Do I really have to marry him?" My sister asked in a tiny voice and the room went dead silent.

"How can you even ask that?" My mother's face pinched into a frown.

"We are honored that the Lycan king chose our family, it is the greatest privilege that could be bestowed upon us." My father explained, irritatedly.

"But he is crippled." My sister pointed out in a loud cry.

"You must never say that out loud again Maya." My mother dramatically slapped a hand over her lips.

"Crippled or not he is still the Lycan king and such an utterance could get our entire family killed or banished." My mother said, exasperated.

"Why can't Keira marry him?" My sister suggested and I froze as all eyes turned to me.

"Do you want to bring disgrace and shame to this family Maya, is that your plan?" My father's voice boomed angrily at the suggestion and my heart sank.

"How could you suggest such a ridiculous notion? Keira is wolfless, she's weak. The Lycan King would banish us once he discovers she is not a true wolf." My mother looked at me sadly for a moment.

I could take their anger, hate and despise but what I couldn't bear was the sickening pity in her eyes as though I was a shame she couldn't decide what to do with.

"Keira." My mother called out as she approached me from where I stood at the corner of the room.

"Tomorrow is a big day for your sister. We can't have any mistakes." She said in a firm voice as she looked at me pointedly.

"Don't do anything to embarrass this family." Her eyes pleaded with me.

"And more importantly remain in the shadows and don't draw attention to yourself." She concluded and I nodded mutely.

Her eyes searched mine and she seemed satisfied with what she saw there because she let out a breath before she walked away.

As tears pricked my eyes, I slipped out of the room and made my way to my bedroom.

"Tell me who put years in your eyes and I will make them pay peace." Asher, the rogue King, startled me and I gasped.

"I told you to stop coming in through my window Asher, anyone could have seen you." I bolted my room door behind me.

"If you really meant it you wouldn't leave your window open every single time." He grinned at me as he strolled until he stood in front of me.

"Besides everyone knows it's just a matter of time until I make you my Luna and mark you as mine for the whole world to see." He shrugged.

Despite myself I offered him a wobbly smile as his words held some truth and his life washed over me.

I couldn't help but wonder how I had gotten lucky in the midst of all the chaos around me.

Everyone in my back was as surprised as I was when Asher started paying me visits and announced he wanted to make me his mate.

My parents couldn't be happier since they had finally found a way to rid themselves of me and I was overjoyed because I had fallen in love with the charming rogue King.

Asher was the only person who had seen me for me and had loved me with all my flaws and inadequacies.

"What is wrong peach?" Asher asked, using his fingers to gently wipe away a tear from my cheek.

"It's nothing, really." I tried to turn away from him but he gripped both of my shoulders and held me in place.

"Don't do that. I told you not to hide away from me." He looked at me pointedly and I crumbled under the intensity of his stare.

He already knew how everyone treated me in my family and I thought he would be repulsed when I told him I didn't have a wolf but he was unfazed.

"They are all damn fools. They should be privileged that you would be attending their wedding." He gritted out as his eyes darkened.

"I should attend with you." He announced and my eyes bulged.

"That is not necessary. My mother already warned me about diverting the attention from my sister tomorrow and being with you always raises a few eyebrows wherever we go." I pointed out and his frown deepened but he remained silent.

"I hate seeing you cry because of them." He grunted.

"It doesn't matter, I'm used to it." I shrugged as he wrapped his arms around me and I melted into him.

"It's just a matter of time before I take you away from this place." His words vibrate against my head which is placed in his chest.

I heard the promise behind his words and my heart swelled with hope as I believed him.

    Meanwhile, back in Moonclaw, the town square was buzzing with activity, and the streets were filled with the noise of hammers as they slowly rebuilt the town. Ryk stood near a half-built restaurant, holding a hammer and a chalkboard while giving orders and directions to a group of workers, for the first time in a long time he wasn’t carrying any weapons with him, moonclaw had entered an era of peace. He coughed as he dusted his dark hair, which was covered with dust, he still felt some pain around his body, he had gotten a few burn scars while entering into that fire he had driven through to save Callum and Keira. Catherine was nearby, attending to a worker’s injury, she used to be a healer, until they got married and she had agreed to be the one to sacrifice her profession and stay home for the sake of their child Abigail. Abigail was in charge of ordering and keeping the children in check and making sure they stayed safe, she had taken the younger ones to a building that was s

    The evening sun was golden and warm over Moonclaw, its golden light spraying across the green hills in the distance, making it look like a painting, with the grasses making it look even more surreal.Two weeks had passed since the disaster, and everything was slowly changing.The town was undergoing a new team for renewal. The streets had been swept clean of all the ash, and the homes were being repaired from the ruins of the fire that had nearly consumed them. Scaffolds filled the town square, not for execution this time but for rebuilding. A bunch of men had taken the task of carpenters and were hammering away, a few had taken the task of bricklayers and were laying stone and cement. Everyone was working together to rebuild the town. Even the children contributed. The children were laughing and playing as they carried water to the workers. The ruins from Lord Conoron’s rampage were still visible, but the Moonclaw people were ready to wash everything away and start over afresh, thi

    It felt perfect.It wasn’t too hot or too cold, it was perfect.Was this what heaven felt like?It had a strange calmness that pulled her from the darkness of unconsciousness. Her eyelids slowly opened, they felt as heavy as stone, her body was aching with a deep, burning soreness that increased with every breath she took. The smell of antibiotics and herbs filled her nose. There was a third smell: it smelt like smoke.Fire.She remembered the fire, the one she and Callum had been stuck in.So they were dead.At least they died holding each other together.She smiled weakly as the smell of smoke clung to her memory. She opened her eyes slowly, expecting the blinding light of some afterlife, or a heaven where she and Callum might be reunited. But instead, she saw a low wooden ceiling. Its pillars looked cracked but sturdy, and she could also feel the softness of a mattress under her.She expected heaven to have clouds not mattresses that smelt of drugs.A fire burned nearby, it was

    The townsquare looked like a battlefield.The ground was covered with blood and ash.No one spoke or tried to break the silence.The square had been divided into three factions.One side had the people of Moonclaw who had been dragged to the square by Moonclaw soldiers.The other side had lord Conoron, Isabel, and Konan, a great deal of the rogue soldiers they had, had left them and switched allegiance to Asher.The last side was Asher’s side.Each side stayed quiet.No one said a word.The scaffold was at the center, of the square, Callum stood there silently, his hands tied as he faced execution, lord Conoron had ordered barrels of oil to be kept around the scaffold, he had planned first to hang Callum, the after he was dead, the barrels of oil would be lit. Callum’s body and the scaffold would be burnt.The surviving townsfolk, surrounded by rogue guards, watched in horror, their hopes had been crushed, most of them had begun to accept their new reality, their lives were over under

  • The Chosen Mate Of The Lycan King   Chapter 107

    The town square of Moonclaw was filled to the brim.A scaffold stood at the center, an old wooden platform hastily built under Lord Conoron’s orders, its rope swaying in the evening breeze. Callum stood under it, his hands tied, his clothes torn, his dark eyes looking calm despite the rope tied around his neck. The surviving townsfolk were all gathered by rogue guards. They stood in a semicircle, their faces pale, and their hopes crushed. Lord Conoron stood at the scaffold’s edgeSmiling. His wilful eyes were fixed on Callum, as he enjoyed the moment he had long dreamed of, a Moonclaw king’s public execution, it had to be similar to the shame his own family had suffered years ago. Isabel stood beside him, she didn’t look the same since she had heard of Asher’s survival. Konan, stood behind them, whileEdgar, Beatrice, and Maya stood nearby, they were looking around the crowd nervously.The rogue executioner tightened the rope, and the rope got tighter against Callum’s neck. Call

    Alive?That was the thought on everyone’s mind.The hall was silent. No one had said a word, no one dared to. Even the guards held their breaths, waiting for Lord Conoron to say something.Lord Conoron was silent, his eyes on the guard that had delivered the news.He had an empty look on his face.He knew how hard it had been for him when he had first gotten to rogue island, it had taken a while for the former rogue king, Usher, to trust him and when Usher had finally trusted him, he had him poisoned, and then made him change his will, handing over rulership of rogue island to him, if he wanted the antidote, Usher had done as he said, but he never gave Usher the antidote, he had made Asher, usher’s son a pawn king. At the same time, he and Isabel ruled from the shadows, because he knew the rogues would only answer to a rogue leader and now that Asher was here, his presence posed a threat to the rogue army he had assembled.Callum stood between two rogue guards, their grips bruising hi
