Keira's pov

"Good morning." I blushed as I stepped into the dining room.

I was unsure how to act or what to say to Alpha Callum as he gazed at me across the dining room.

He was back in the wheelchair and I couldn't help but quirk my brow in question.

"Good morning." He replied, his eyes followed me like a hawk as I slowly took my place at the table and was served my breakfast.

I was sore but in the most pleasant way possible. Callum was insatiable throughout the night and had woken me up for another bout of lovemaking in the middle of the night.

"Leave us." His voice boomed in the middle of our meal and the servants filed out of the room, closing the door behind them.

"How are you feeling?" He asked as he rose from his chair.

"I'm okay." I looked away from him but he gently pulled my face back towards him. With a swipe of his hand, he cleared the dishes from the table and they went crashing on the floor but Callum didn't care as he lifted me and placed me on the table, wedging himself between my legs.

His fingers found their way under my skirt and trailed up until he was at my core.

"Always so wet and responsive." He muttered as his lips captured mine, the same time his finger swept into me.

"What if someone walks in?" My voice was airy and needy and sounded foreign to my ears.

"Then they would die." He murmured against my lips as he continued his assault on my senses.

Callum was devastating to my senses and unleashed a hunger within me I never knew I possessed. He made love to me, right there on the dining table and sought me out when I was in the library for another bout of love making and then the courtyard and then the garden.

He was insatiable and I relished in the desire which clouded his eyes whenever he laid eyes on me.

"Don't look at me like that." He murmured as we laid spent on my bed, our breathing coming out ragged.

"Like what?" I asked, turning to him.

"With those tender feelings clouding your eyes." He responded and I looked at him in confusion.

"You are only my Luna because I am in need of an heir. The only reason I am in your bed is to ensure you produce an heir as soon as possible so any notions of love or such useless fantasies should elude you." He explained calmly and I ignored the squeezing of my heart at his words.

It was better this way.

My heart belonged to Asher even if my body belonged to Callum at this moment.

"I know what we are and I have no expectations of you to bear tender sentiments towards me." I replied, looking him dead in the eyes.

"What you see in my eyes is merely desire and a chase for the high which comes with my climax." I was surprised at my own blunt words.

Callum's eyes searched mine for a moment and when he was satisfied with whatever it was he saw, he dragged me under him.

"Let's make my heir then." He whispered against my lips before he took me once more.

****

"My wolves are going on a hunt." Callum informed me he tugged me down and I fell into his lap on the wheelchair. He gently nibbled my ear as apprehension filled me and I tried to push him away but he wouldn't bulge.

I was about to respond but he silenced me as his lips latched onto my nipple through my clothes and I groaned softly, gripping his hair with my fingers.

"It would be a good opportunity for you to connect with the rest of the pack and the wolves." He continued and I blinked rapidly as I tried to remember what it was he was talking about.

I pushed away from his lap.

"Wait." I held my hands out in front of me when he made to rise from his chair with a predatory look in his eyes.

"I have something to tell you." I muttered.

"You can tell me later, right now-" he rose from his chair and I panicked.

"I don't have a wolf." I announced and he stopped dead in his tracks.

"What?" He asked, his voice dangerously low

"I don't have a wolf, I've never transformed." I admitted, hugging myself as he gazed at me with an unreadable expression on his face.

"But your parents told me you have one of the most beautiful wolves in the pack." He stated, a nerve in his jaw ticking.

"That was my sister, not me." I revealed and I went on to tell him how he was meant to marry Maya and not me.

"I will banish your family for this deception." His voice was eerily low and I wondered where the man whose dark orbs had burned with desire for me, just moments ago, had gone.

"Punish me instead Callum. I was the one who insisted on fooling you. I didn't want to see my family enduring shame or worse still getting banished. If you want to banish anyone let it be me." I told him firmly.

"They gave me a wolfless mate." He growled, his eyes dark with anger.

"I would do anything, anything at all to protect my family, let me take the blame for everything." I pleaded with him as my heart beat loudly in my chest.

He eyes me for a moment before he nodded.

"Very well. I will not banish your family in the meantime while I find a befitting punishment for you." He revealed and I sagged with relief.

"Thank you." I muttered as his eyes bore into my soul.

It didn't really matter what he decided to do to me as long as my family was safe, that was all that mattered.

    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.

    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
