The Lycan King Faceless Mate In his den
Margaux The alarm on the small touchscreen phone cut through the dark before dawn. I rolled off the narrow mattress, the stone floor biting cold through my socks, and quickly pulled on my grey uniform. My neck still throbbed with a residual, dull heat from the night before, right where Margot's old burn mark sat. It was a lingering warning I couldn't shake.Remembering Garrett's warning about the five o'clock deadline, I left my room and navigated the dim, quiet corridors.Near the laundry wing, I ran into Cherry. She was shuffling along, her shoulders slouched and her eyes barely half-open. She let out a yawn so wide her jaw clicked."Good morning, Cherry," I said quietly.She rubbed her eye with the heel of her hand and blinked at me. "Morning, Mara.""You look exhausted.""I am." She leaned her head against the cool plaster of the wall for a second, letting out a heavy sigh. "I didn't get to sleep until past two.""That explains the yawn."Her eyes drifted down to the empty canvas
The Lycan King Faceless Mate Why does it hurt?
Margaux The door clicked shut, leaving me in the quiet of the small room. I let out a long, slow breath, my shoulders dropping as the tension of the last hour finally drained away.I knelt by my canvas bag and began pulling out my few spare shirts. Near the bottom, my fingers brushed against something hard and wrapped in soft cloth.I pulled it out. It was the phone Celia had promised.It wasn't the old, battered button-phone I was used to carrying. The front was a seamless pane of glass, wide and smooth, reflecting the light from the small window. It looked modern, expensive, and completely foreign. I turned it over in my hand, staring at the dark screen."I have no idea how to use this," I muttered, setting it carefully on the corner of the wooden washstand before going back to my clothes.A sudden, sharp knock on the door made me freeze.I stood up, smoothing down my tunic, assuming the strict housekeeper had returned to give me more rules.But when I pulled the door open, a man w
The Lycan King Faceless Mate The past stay where it belongs
Margaux Grey stone turrets rose high above manicured gravel paths, and men in dark uniforms stood at the intersections of the driveway, their eyes tracking the car as we passed. The scale of the grounds made the sedan feel small and out of place, like a beetle crawling across a massive stone terrace."It is a palace," Celia said, her voice quiet as she steered around a wide, circular fountain. "But you won't be in the main halls. Your work is strictly for the outer estate."The tightness that had been building in my throat began to ease. I looked away from the high, arched windows of the central building. If I was kept to the margins, there would be no formal dinners, no guests to look me in the eye, and no risk of a familiar face from Ashmere spotting me through a crowd. The fewer people who saw me, the longer I could keep the name Mara.Celia brought the car to a stop in front of a low-slung, stone-faced building set back against a row of high hedges.I opened the passenger door an
The Lycan King Faceless Mate Journey
Margaux I stepped inside the hut, pulling the wooden door shut behind me. Another day of searching the forest floor had yielded little more than a handful of wild greens. This place was isolated, a crumbling shelter deep in an unfamiliar territory where nobody knew my face. I had been surviving here on whatever the bush offered, keeping to myself, but I kept my old phone line active. It was my only link to anything.On the table, the small screen showed a single missed call..it was celia She was the one who had pointed me to this forest, offering up the old hut she used to live in before she went back to Ashmere. It was because of her that I had a place to hide when the alternative was far worse.I hit the call back button and held the receiver to my ear.She picked up on the very first ring. "Where have you been? I’ve been trying to reach you, Margaux.""I am so sorry," I said, leaning my back against the wall. "I went into the bush to see if I could find a rabbit or something els
The Lycan King Faceless Mate Inside the palace
Margot The back seat of the Mercedes was quiet, but my mind was loud.Through the tinted glass, the trees along the road blurred into a dark green wall. We were getting closer to the Lycan King’s palace, and every mile made my throat feel tighter.What would happen once we went through those gates? What if Dorian asked me about Ashmere? What if he expected me to know things only my twin sister, Margaux , would know?I only had small pieces of the truth. I did not know enough about how Margaux had lived during the last three years.I took out the phone Dorian had given me. My fingers pressed the screen as I typed a message to Lucien. I did not need to look up his number; I had memorized it years ago.I am okay. For now, I will be away on business. Do not worry. When I return, I will have investors and sponsors to help silverwood pack grow. But I need a favor. Tell me everything you can about Ashmere. The people, the daily life, the local politics. Anything I should know.Lucien replie
The Lycan King Faceless Mate The palace
Margot A sharp itch hit the back of my nose, and I sneezed before I could stop myself. Dorian didn't hesitate, pulling a folded linen handkerchief from his pocket and sliding it across the wood toward me. “Thank you,” I said, keeping my head down as I pressed the cloth to my face. The linen was smooth, completely blank without any monograms. I used the small delay to steady my breathing, forcing the tension out of my jaw before I looked back up at him. “Wait… what were you asking again? If I am the one?” Dorian’s fingers locked over the edge of his phone, his thumb freezing above the dark screen. Then his shoulders dropped, and he shook his head quickly. “No, no, no. I’m not talking about that. I’m so, so sorry. I was trying to send a message to someone and I accidentally said it to you.” My lungs finally expanded, a long, quiet breath slipping past my teeth. For a split second, the whole game had felt like it was crashing down around my ears. I squeezed the handkerchief in my l

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

Luciens’ povThe truck engine cut out, leaving the front yard in complete shadow. I stepped onto the gravel, staring up at the unlit windows of the house. Not a single light filtered through the glass."Where is she?" I adjusted my jacket, keeping my eyes fixed on the porch. "Do you think Margot is

MargotDorian leaned back against the leather seat, his fingers tapping a slow rhythm on the steering wheel. “Sit back down. You don't have to do that.” He studied my face, his eyes searching for something behind my expression. “You shouldn't just accept an invitation because of a title. If you wan
