The Lycan King Faceless Mate Dorian
Margaux Celia’s message took two whole days to arrive on my burner phone. When the screen finally lit up in the middle of the night, I opened it with cold fingers.Three more weeks.I stared at the three words on the small screen for a long time before deleting the text. Three weeks felt like a lifetime in a palace where the King was watching every hallway and Margot was looking for any reason to destroy me. But I had survived three years alone in Ashmere, hiding in plain sight without a single person to help me. I could manage three weeks.I slipped the phone back under my mattress, pulled my uniform collar up, and got out of bed to start my morning shift.In the kitchen prep room, the air was warm and smelled of fresh bread and vegetable soup. Cherry, a young human girl with bright eyes and red hair who worked the morning shift with me, was busy scrubbing carrots at the metal sink."You're up early, Mara," Cherry said, turning around and wiping her wet hands on her apron. "I though

Lucien I sat in my beat-up car in the parking lot behind the regional pack office, staring at the message on my cracked phone screen.Margot’s text was brief, sharp, and structured like an order. She needed me at the palace immediately. She wanted me to go straight to the kitchen wing, make a scene near Margaux, and make it look like I had chased her there. She wanted the Lycan King to see us together—to see a rejected mate from a small southeastern pack claiming her before the King could figure out what the bond meant.I read the text twice. A familiar, bitter embarrassment burned in my stomach.For three years, Margot had used me as a stepping stone. She had taken every spare cent I earned from my low-level pack council job, used my connections to get her fancy clothes and introductions to wealthy pack leaders, and then walked away the second she didn't need me anymore. Now, she was under pressure at the palace, and she was using me again like a tool in her kit.I put the phone dow
The Lycan King Faceless Mate Self doubt
Margaux I sat on the edge of my narrow bed with both hands pressed flat over the side of my neck. Under my fingers, the mark pulsed with a deep, steady warmth. It was quiet now, completely satisfied after months of being starved, but the rest of my mind was a mess.I looked down at my muddy shoes resting on the small rug. I could not lie to myself about what had just happened in that hallway.For three years in Ashmere, I had survived by making cold, careful choices. I had learned to think five steps ahead of everyone else. But ten minutes ago, in the dark corridor outside his study, I had let the darkness, his closeness, and the pull of the bond push all my common sense aside.The result was sitting right here in this small room. My mark was no longer cold. My wolf was no longer wild or pacing in my head. It was lying down, happy and full, while my real situation had become ten times more dangerous than it was yesterday.The door of my room creaked open an inch.I pulled my hands do
The Lycan King Faceless Mate Right to lie in my face
DorianI stood in the dark hallway for a long time after her steps faded down the stairs. My hands hung flat at my sides.For four months, I had sat across from Margot at dinner tables, listening to her talk about our future. Her words were always polite, and her smile was always ready, but the connection between us was always flat. It played like a bad song that was almost right, but just off enough to annoy you. It was close enough to fool my eyes, but it never fooled my wolf.What had just happened in this corridor was completely different. Touch for touch, scent for scent, it was the exact same feeling from the night of Isabella Calloway’s wedding at the Calloway estate.Footsteps sounded down the hall. Garrett walked around the corner carrying a stack of papers. He stopped when he saw me standing near the wooden bench."Sire?" Garrett asked, looking around the empty hall. "What are you doing out here? I thought you were in your study.""I was on my way there," I said. My voice wa
The Lycan King Faceless Mate Found her
Dorian CHAPTER 32I could not sleep, so I left my bedroom and walked down the quiet hallway toward my private study.As I turned the corner into the carpeted corridor, I saw her.She was walking quietly, holding a folded white sheet against her chest. She had not heard me coming yet. In that split second, before her eyes lifted to mine, my wolf moved. It did not ask for permission. It surged forward with absolute certainty, recognizing her completely.Before my mind could talk me out of it, I stepped into her path. I moved slowly, keeping my hands where she could see them so I would not startle her. I reached out and gently took the heavy sheet from her hands, setting it down on the wooden bench beside us."Wait," I said softly.She froze under my touch, but she did not pull away. Her body went completely still, the kind of stillness that comes when someone has already decided not to run. I placed one hand against the side of her neck, my fingers sliding under her uniform collar.Rig

CHAPTER 31I turned away from the garden entrance and walked straight to my study. The quiet sound of steps down the hall stayed in my mind, but I needed facts, not feelings.Garrett was already standing near my desk when I opened the door. He held a thin yellow folder in his hands."The investigator just sent this through," Garrett said, setting the folder on the wooden desk. "He found a lead on the person who vouched for Mara."I sat down in my chair and pulled the paper toward me. "What did he find?""It took some digging," Garrett said, pointing to the top line. "The person who asked Celia to sign those papers isn't from a small village. She is a low-ranking woman in the southeastern pack."I looked up at him. "The southeastern pack? That's Lucien Ashby's territory.""Yes," Garrett nodded. "It is also where Margaux Voss lived before she disappeared three years ago."I stared at the name on the page. Lucien Ashby ran the southeastern pack. He came to the capital every few months fo

The Lycan King Faceless Mate Making the right decision
Margaux PovLucien looked down at me, his expression hardening into something completely unrecognizable. "You're weak, Margaux. I'm going to be the Alpha of this pack. I don't need a wolfless Luna. I need someone who actually has power. Someone like Margot."A collective murmur rippled through the

Margaux pov"I don't care what they say. If nobody accepts me, Lucien will."That was the lie I kept on loop in my head.Today was my eighteenth birthday. The big one. The day every single wolf in the pack spent their entire life waiting for because the Moon Goddess finally decided to drop your mat
