RHAIN

The kitchen is loud, warm, and filled with the scent of herbs and roasting meat.

I stand at the long wooden table, sleeves rolled up, chopping vegetables with steady strokes. I refuse to show weakness in front of these people.

Gael leans against the counter beside me, arms crossed, watching with an amused grin.

"Relax, Your Majesty. The ladies are already impressed by your arms. No need to intimidate the onions too."

I shoot him a flat look, but I don't stop chopping.

  • The Lycan King’s Cursed Curvy Mate   ~056~ A LONG AWAITED RELEASE

    BELLA I have never heard a man cry like this. He's trying to breathe. But grief won't let him."Rhain..."He doesn't hear me. Or maybe he can't. His fingers claw frantically through the grass as though he's searching for something impossibly small."...my baby..." His voice barely reaches me.I take another hesitant step. The moonlight catches the tears pouring down his face. I've seen him looking sick and half-dead. I've just never seen him look so... broken.My heart feels as though it's trying to tear its way out of my ribs."Oh, Rhain..."Another shudder tears through him. His whole body folds over itself, his forehead hitting the ground.His hands clutch fistfuls of earth. And then... He screams. The sound doesn't sound human. It rips out of him so powerfully that I flinch hard.It's raw. A sound born from centuries of grief finally finding somewhere to escape."I'M SORRY!"The mountain shudders. I stare in horror.The clouds...There weren't any. Now, dark storm clouds ra

  • The Lycan King’s Cursed Curvy Mate   ~055~ GRIEF-DAZED

    BELLA The room feels smaller, the air thicker. Rhain simply waits, patient as always."Tell me," he says softly.I draw in a shaky breath, the air rattling in my lungs. "I was pregnant."The words slip out barely louder than a whisper. Rhain doesn't move or even blink."It was yours."The color drains from his face, leaving his skin ashen. "What?""It was yours," I repeat, my voice cracking. Fresh tears roll down my cheeks. "I didn't know at first. I only knew I kept getting sick. I couldn't eat without throwing up. I was exhausted all the time... I'd wake up shaking, cold sweat clinging to my skin."My hand drifts unconsciously to my stomach, pressing against the fabric of my dress as if I could still protect what was lost. "But every time you held me... it stopped. Your scent made the nausea disappear. My wolf would calm. I could finally sleep."A sob drags out of me, thick and painful. "I thought I was just lovesick. I was so stupid."Rhain shakes his head immediately, his v

  • The Lycan King’s Cursed Curvy Mate   ~054~ FOR THE GREATER GOOD

    BELLA The crowd settles into eager silence as Supreme Elder Varyn steps into the stone circle, his silver staff striking the ground once."The Trial of Strength shall now begin."A roar of approval rises from the gathered pack, and I grip the arms of my chair.Rhain rises slowly, rolling one shoulder with a faint wince. He is still pale, yet he carries himself like a king. Opposite him, Valtor stands with lazy grace, brushing invisible dust from his dark coat.The two young alphas who had volunteered earlier exchange nervous glances, clearly regretting their decision.Varyn clears his throat. "According to sacred law, challengers must first defeat one another before facing the candidate."The first young alpha puffs out his chest. "I volunteer!""So do I!" the second blurts.Valtor sighs. "I really don't think this is—""Excellent!" Varyn beams.The fight is over in seconds. Valtor sidesteps the first punch, catches the second without looking, and flicks his wrist. The wolf spi

  • The Lycan King’s Cursed Curvy Mate   ~53~ A FOUL TASTE

    BELLA Dozens of eyes turn to me, expecting and believing that I can do something I have no idea how to do.My hands start shaking.I walk over, the guards moving out of the way, and kneel in front of the boy, pressing my fingers to his forehead. His skin is ice cold.I close my eyes and try to reach for whatever power they think I have. Nothing happens.So I try harder.I place both hands over his chest and reach for the power that once healed Rhain. Sweat gathers at the back of my neck. I can feel the crowd leaning in, holding their breath.Still nothing happens."No..." the woman whispers.I try again. And again. Each time more desperate than the last. My palms grow hot, then cold. My head starts to pound. But the boy doesn't move. He doesn't even twitch.I'm not enough.The thought leaves a foul taste in my mouth.Around me, the murmurs begin. I can feel the disappointment pressing down on my shoulders."I'm sorry," I whisper, barely able to get the words out. "I'm so sorry

  • The Lycan King’s Cursed Curvy Mate   ~52~ HEART TO HEART

    BELLA Rhain's body goes rigid against mine. In an instant, the soft, vulnerable man from moments ago disappears. He carefully pulls out of me and helps me up, quickly fixing my dress and smoothing my hair with quick hands."We've searched the eastern paths already,” I hear Elder Varyn say.Another elder speaks tiredly. "They are adults. Perhaps they simply wanted privacy.""No," Varyn snaps. "You didn't see the signs."A chill runs down my spine. Rhain's head tilts slightly as he listens."What signs?" the other elder asks.Varyn is quiet for a moment. Then he says, "The warding stones activated."Rhain stiffens."The outer perimeter detected something trying to enter the valley."The elders fall silent.One of them finally whispers, "Another hunter?"Before anyone can answer, the footsteps grow louder. Torchlight flickers between the trees, and then Varyn steps into view. He comes to an abrupt halt.His eyes move from me to Rhain, then down to our rumpled clothes and the gra

  • The Lycan King’s Cursed Curvy Mate   ~51~ THROES OF PASSION PT. II

    BELLA I slide down his body slowly, my hands trailing over the hard planes of his chest and stomach. Rhain watches me with dark, hooded eyes, his breathing already uneven. When I drop to my knees in front of him, his jaw tightens."Bella..." His voice is thick with emotion.I look up at him as I unbutton his pants and free his length. He's already hard and heavy in my hand. I wrap my fingers around his girth and stroke slowly.His head falls back against the tree with a groan.I lean in and drag my tongue along the underside of his length before taking him into my mouth. My eyes water and I try not to gag.He's so big, he can barely fit in.Rhain's hand immediately finds my hair, not pushing, just holding, like he needs something to steady him."Mmm..." he breathes.I take him deeper, hollowing my cheeks and working him with my mouth and hand. Tears leak from my eyes as he hits the back of my throat.His hips twitch forward before he forces himself to stay still. The low sounds

  • The Lycan King’s Cursed Curvy Mate   ~43~ A RAY OF SUNLIGHT

    BELLA A trembling breath answers from the other end of the line."Oh, sweetheart."That familiar voice brings a flood of tears to my eyes before I can draw another breath."Mum...""Oh, baby."The endearment wrecks me completely. I press a hand over my mouth to stifle the sob rising in my

  • The Lycan King’s Cursed Curvy Mate   ~42~ ACHING HEARTS

    BELLA The estate is breathtaking. A secluded mountain villa wrapped in pine forests, with sweeping views of mountain peaks and a private lake glittering under the late afternoon sun. Rhain had called it one of his "quiet places."We arrived only thirty minutes ago.And everything is already

  • The Lycan King’s Cursed Curvy Mate   ~41~ UNCERTAINTY

    BELLA My entire body is shaking, a strange fear gripping me. I want to know what really happened in the past. But, I am deeply afraid of what it would do to me."The Queen Mother told me something once," I whisper.Talia frowns. I swallow hard. "She said I cursed Rhain. Maybe I hated him." My

  • The Lycan King’s Cursed Curvy Mate   ~40~ COMPLEX FEELINGS

    BELLA My baby. The words echo in my skull. Rhain's arms tighten around me, crushing me against his chest while uncertainty flashes across his face."What baby?" he asks hoarsely.Fragments replay behind my eyes.Blood on marble. A massive hand covered in crimson. Silver hair. Rhain roaring loud
