The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride Sunken sofa
LIA The next day I set off to find evidence to prove my Dad's innocence. “I will be in my room. You don't need to check up on me until I call you.” I had told Clara before I snuck out. Derrick should never know I was out. Not until I proved Dad's innocence. And I couldn't trust Clara to keep shut. The girl behaved strangely sometimes. The first person I could have ran to was Beta Carlos. Unfortunately he was the one that betrayed my dad. Like father, like son. The Carlos' family would always be the same. The memory of Carlos Jnr with his mate at the prom flashed in my head. I hastily pushed it away. Carlos Jnr was a closed chapter in my life a long time ago. The only other man I knew could help me was Alpha Dante. Him and Dad were good friends despite leading different packs. Alpha Dante owned Red Moon Pack. His Pack was not far from Harrow Wood Pack. It didn't take me too long to arrive Red Moon. I located Alpha Dante’s house in a couple of minutes and flagged down a taxi. The

LIA “Carlos…” I mumbled, “what are you doing here?”“Lia…” he tried to touch me but I flinched back. “Why are you here?” I asked again, unable to stop my voice from trembling. It was only months ago but it felt like a year had gone past already. The guy that was the beginning of my problems was standing before me and my mouth could not find words. My legs were feeling too heavy to keep standing and a bulge had lodged comfortably in my throat. “Were you following me? Where did you start to follow me and why are you in this Pack?” Like I was supposed to ask the last question knowing it was going both ways. “Lia.” He called. His voice was hoarse and his eyes filled with something I preferred to think was guilt. Carlos Jnr still looked very much the same. His handsome features were still very much intact but he looked leaner than the last time I saw him. To think his father just betrayed my dad… my teeth clenched. “Lia, I—”“Stop! If you are going to start speaking rubbish about how y

LIA “Did you leave the house?” My hairs stood at the sudden voice behind me. I had just walked into my quarter. I turned. It was Derrick. “Where are you coming from?” he asked again. He was a king for hell sake and should be busy. Why was he on my case? Where was Clara? How did he let him in when I clearly forbade her from letting anyone in? “I just stepped out for a bit,” I replied. Like a scanner, his eyes scanned all over me. “Where's Clara?” I asked just as he was about to throw me another question. He frowned and asked, “Who is Clara?” It was my turn to frown. Did he not know who Clara was or was he trying to trick me. “Where's my personal assistant?” this time I raised my voice high enough and hoped Clara would hear it. I needed to know how much Derrick knew to know how to place my lies. Thankfully Clara came out from my bedroom. “Oh my Luna. Did you have a pleasant walk?” I looked at her. She gave me an eye which I quickly denoted. I turned back to Derrick, p
Last Updated : 2025-04-06The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride DRUNKS
As Derrick sat in the mini bar in his chamber, memories of that day flooded back. The very first day he’d met Lia. Who knew an intruder would be stirring him up this much, making him hunch in the bar drinking. Something he hadn't done in a long while. He'd kissed her a couple times more but none matched their first kiss. It was a kiss he gave his vigour because he wanted to impress his new bride that he did not love but was only marrying to satisfy his parents. Her boldness had taken him aback in the dungeon. When he suggested she be his bait, he never thought she'd agree to it. He was never going to harm her anyways and was only trying to scare her and find out what she knew. Then she said she was forced to put on the wedding dress. Strangely he believed her words even though he didn't voice it out. Laura may have loved and wanted him but his lack of affection towards her had pushed her to the cliff. He didn't blame her for making the decision she did. What about their second weddi

“Are you alright?” Derrick asked, his arms wrapped around Lia firmly. Lia stared at him and all she wanted that instant was for him to kiss her silly. “Make love to me,” she blurted. Derrick's eyes flew wide. He gaped at her. Her words sounded like one coming from a drunk woman but at the same time he didn't think she was drunk talking. “You are drunk. We can't…”She didn't move. Same as her gaze. “That is what husband and wives do. You said I was your wife and you own me.”He managed to pull himself out of the shock. A sigh left him. Was she still on about their little act from earlier? “Come and I will take you to bed. You are not in your right senses right now–”She flinched back. “Don't try to force me to sleep! I am not drunk. I know what I want…and what I want right now is you.” She went tiptoes and planted a wet kiss on his lips. It was fast he hadn't seen it coming. He was too shocked to respond. Too shocked to move. Just earlier he thought she was different from their gi

LIA I woke up the next day with my entire body feeling knackered. When I opened my eyes, it was strange–the bed I lay in was not the usual one I slept and woke up in. The scent was different. The strangest part–something heavy, like an arm, was laying across my chest. I nearly screamed if not that a memory flashed in my head instantly halting my scream. The memory came in bits and was unclear but I couldn't ignore the realness of it. O stilled and waited for it to replay. That was when I looked and saw Derrick. I froze, because that moment the bits and bits of memories started to merge, leaving the unclear zone and rearing up strongly. And very clear. I gasped, unable to believe what my brain had just revealed. How? Why? Halting the many questions floating through my head which at that moment I couldn't provide the answers, I began to detach myself from Derrick’s arm. The more I detached, the closer he snuggled towards me. Tired, I stopped and my palms held my head. “Lia, what hav

Seeing it was truly Clara knocking as I predicted made me frown. “I told you to take the day off.” “The king is here,” she said.My heart skipped several beats. I panicked. Derrick was here to see me. Why? What? To talk about last night? My mind swirled with many thoughts. “What should I do?” Clara asked again, interrupting my roaming thoughts. Honestly, I wasn't sure if I was ready to face Derrick. I was too embarrassed to face him. “Tell him I’m not home. I stepped out for some air.”“He is aware you are around.”“How?”I don't know but he said “tell my Luna to come out” instead of asking if you were around.”“Well, lie to him then.”I banged the door shut. I felt bad for using Clara like that. My shoulders felt heavy as I dragged myself back to bed. My body no longer felt knackered. However, my wolf had become really nosy and talkative. Sigh. Was this the new side effect for having sex with a man you weren't supposed to do it with? I shut my eyes and drew in a slow breath. I h
Last Updated : 2025-04-09The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride REJECTION STANDS
“I reject your mate bond. I can't be your mate.”These words replayed in Derrick's head for the hundred time. It had only been an hour he left her quarters. He stood up and walked to the wine shelf. As he made to pick out one, he stopped and his thought wandered. Again. He forfeited the wine and returned to his seat. He released a huge sigh and abruptly stood up again. He was furious and he didn't know why. Wasn't it a good thing she refused their mate bond. She was originally never should have been in the same space with him? Why would he be getting affected by her rejection? Also Ethan had gone to pick up Laura whom he was supposed to marry. He could just switch her with Laura and life would go on as if nothing ever happened. But even as he was making those plans internally, he knew that he was lying to himself. Once Lia said those words she had gone back in and shut the door. He'd been speechless to utter a word. What woman wouldn't be happy to be mated to him? Except Lia Smit

The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride ANOTHER WEDDING
WRITER'S POV Laura did not hesitate. As soon as she left Mrs Kings, she headed to Derrick’s office where she was sure he'd the at. She was glad she dealt nicely with Mrs Kings. Derrick's father was never going to be a problem. He was never present anyways. Arriving at Derrick's office, she was told to wait a bit for him to be informed by one of the guards. This made her flare up. “What? You expect me to wait for you to go in there and come out?” She shouted at the guard. “I'm done with y'all poverty stricken snobs. How dare a commoner like you tell me what to do? Do you know who I am?”Rick came out. “What's going on?” “Ask this snob!” Laura gritted pointing at the guard. “He is stopping me from seeing Derrick! Can you imagine the smelly guts!”Rick glanced at the guard. “Forgive me, my Beta. I was only following the king’s orders,” the guard pleaded his cause. He faced Laura. “Derrick just finished having a meeting and having a rest. How about you come back a bit later?”Laura
The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride BACK TO HER PLACE
WRITER'S POVAfter Laura left Derrick's office, she went to Derrick's parents quarters. “Who are you, miss?” a maidservant asked her after she rang the bell.“What?” Laura gasped in disbelief. “Miss? Who am I?” She glanced at herself wondering if she had changed so much that people walked past her without recognizing her. Most of the guards didn't recognize her and questioned her at every point in the house as though she was some intruder. No respect whatsoever, and now she was even being asked who she was. In her parents-in-law's house by some measly maidservant. Well, she was going to put an end to that real soon. “Tell Mrs Kings, Laura is here.”“Laura?” The maid asked back, eyes slightly widening. Laura grinned inside. That was exactly the reaction she was expecting. “Yes Laura. Her daughter in law.”The maid quickly retreated inside. She returned a moment later and led Laura in. Laura was asked to wait in the waiting room as the ones she'd come to see were busy and would j
The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride DEPRESSED
WRITER'S POV“Shouldn't we do something?” Rick sighed, glancing at Damian. The two were in Derrick's office and he was not in for the third consecutive time in a week. It had been so. Ever since Lia was sent away. “Derrick is depressed. We should do something,” Rick added. Damian exhaled slowly. He knew that too. He knew that but he was clueless on what they should do because they'd never seen him that way before. “Will he be alright?” He looked at Rick. Doubting the answer that came to his mind. “Of course he won't be alright. He just banished his mate and removed her father from his position. How will he be alright,” grumbled Rick. “We should do something to appease him. There must be something we can do.”“The only thing we can do to appease him is bring her back but you know we can't do that.”The two sighed long and heavy again. Almost immediately Derrick strode in. The two men exchanged surprised looks. “Why are you both looking shocked?” Derrick asked them. “Why are you–
The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride DUMB AND DENSE
“Alpha Dante! You are the finisher yourself!”“Great Alpha indeed!”Alpha Greg and Carlos hailed Alpha Dante. Carlos poured the drinks and gave it to both Alpha Dante and Greg. “To our victory!” He roared. Alpha Dante nodded, sparing a meek laugh as he cheered back and they clinked glasses. “You finished Blake once and for all. It is not an easy feat!” Alpha Greg praised enthusiastically as he sat down. “How did you think of using that young woman?”“Mm-mh. Laura,” Alpha Dante mumbled as his eyes narrowed. He had a tail on Derrick’s men. It was through them he found out Laura's location and acted immediately. He wondered what would have happened if he hadn't acted fast before Derrick got to her. Feeling huge of himself, he chuckled and sipped his drink. “Look at that arrogant smirk,” Greg teased and urged him again to share his secret with them. “Well, I didn't do anything much. As you all know, everything that happened is how it was supposed to happen. The young woman returne
The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride SECRET OUT
LIA’S POV “And do you want to know the biggest shock?” Laura charged up again. She looked at me, her lips cocking up. “Everything she had been telling you are all lies…this girl is no lycan. She is a fucking werewolf!”I crumbled. At this point, my legs became numb. How…how did she know of this…who could have told her….Carlos? No…it couldn't be… Even the day she kidnapped me, she never knew I was not Lycan…how then… “All these while I had been away, I was trying find out the truth and now that I found it, I had to come back and expose this lying bitch,” she sneered. The truth? My stomach sank. What else did she know about me? Derrick turned, his gaze darkening. “What did you just say?”“Derrick, I’m sorry I took time returning back to you but it was for a good reason. This bitch lied and deceived you!”“Is she speaking the truth?” Derrick questioned, his cold eyes gripping me. “Yes, tell him. Prove to everyone here that you are a lycan,” She demanded smirking. Why was she feel
The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride UNBELIEVABLE
LIA’S POVIt was the sound of quick heavy boots lumbering against the floor that awoke me. The first few seconds were hazy. “Are you alright?” A blurry figure appeared by my side. My wolf kicked and my eyes immediately cleared. Derrick. I tried to speak but a sharp pain reared up in my side. “Don't move yet,” he ordered as his arm instantly located my back for support. “Do you remember me?” He asked, his gaze sweeping all over me. How could I not? I nodded suppressing a groan that came as I shook my head. “Do you remember anything? Who kidnapped you? Can you remember their faces?”True, I was kidnapped. I sighed. I shut my eyes as the memories floated in my head. The harsh voices echoed in my head. Recalling how a dagger almost slashed me into halves with me tied to a chair and I couldn't defend myself made the fear suddenly overwhelm me again. My body curled and Derrick must have noticed. “Don't force it. Take your time–”“Derrick!”Rick charged in abandoning his basic etiquett
The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride LAURA IS BACK
“Lia kidnapped? How…when…how…she–” Carlos mumbled, his eyes dancing in shock. Doubting his ears, he rushed to the notice board and had a look. Confirming that Emily and Jimmy had not lied left him limp as he imagined who could have kidnapped Lia right in Derrick's house. “Where are you coming from? You still haven't answered us? You were with Lia and yet you didn't know she was kidnapped,” Jimmy accused. “Who could have kidnapped her? Did you not see or hear anything? If she was in the almighty lycan king's house, how could she have been kidnapped! Don't they have the best security there!”“The exact thing I'm thinking…” Carlos muttered sadly. He just couldn't make sense of the whole thing. Why would anyone kidnap Lia…“I left the king’s house this morning…Lia was…” he paused, not sure to bring up Lia's miscarriage. In the process, sudden thought came over him. What if Lia had been kidnapped somewhere else and not Derrick's house…Anyone that kidnapped her knew she was weak at that
The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride BLACKMAIL
“Dante! Come out here, you bastard!” Alpha Blake roared in front of Alpha Dante's house. The number of guards mounted in front of the gate was too much for him to go through–as if Dante had suspected of his coming and prepared. “You will regret this! You will regret this!”“Get out of my way or go in there and bring that bastard out!” He snarled at Dante's men. “Who is creating this unrest in my premises?” Alpha Dante came out in his balcony and barked. “Unrest in your premises?” Blake retorted charging past his grabbers. As the men rushed to seize him again, Alpha Dante signalled for them to stay back. “Alpha Blake, why have you come to my house to create problems by this time of the day?”“Where is my daughter?! Where is my daughter!”“What are you talking about?” Alpha Dante frowned. His face registered a surprise of a first time hearing s news. Alpha Blake clenched. “Don't give me that pretense look. I know you kidnapped my daughter. Bring out my daughter now!”“I have no ide
The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride DAWN
“What's going on?” Emily whispered to Jimmy referring to the crowd gathered in front of the notice board. Jimmy did a small dance as he dusted off his gloves. They were done for the day and he couldn't be more glad. Working in a pub wasn't an easy one. They'd only found out. “Probably another soon to happen protest or something about the king or his Luna. Whatever. We already have so much in our hands to worry about others.”“Are we still going to the death records center?” Emily asked. They had decided to set aside time to search for Lia despite their unavoidable busy schedule. “Why are you so bent on checking there. Lia is not dead,” she added trying to not sound as harsh as she already did. “Because we will still look there. It's better we look now and forget about it. And I really hope she is not there. Come on, we have like two other places to check today.”“Would that even help? If she died here, no one would care nor notice. Would they even let us see their death record?”
