Arianna blinked repeatedly, desperately hoping the King wasn’t standing before her right now.

Those deep, golden amber eyes pierced through her like a blade, pinning her in place.

Her mouth hung open, but no words came out. It was as though she had forgotten how to use her mouth, even as the King stepped closer, closing the distance between them. His scent enveloped her entire being.

She stood frozen, completely mesmerized and trapped by his gaze.

Speak, Arianna! Say something!

“Hi.”

No! Oh, shit, Arianna, are you insane?!

It's the king!

“I mean... Good morning, Your Grace,” she quickly corrected, praying the King wouldn’t order the soldiers to hang her head on a spike.

How dare she greet her master, the King, so casually?

“I’m deeply sorry, Your Grace. I didn’t mean to say that, I just…” She paused, her breath hitched when the King moved closer, causing her to instinctively step back, her eyes still locked with his.

“You just what?” he asked, his deep voice rumbling through his ches

  • The Lycan King's Forbidden Craving    Chapter 217: Missed me?

    Palace.Meetings here and there. So many things happening at the same damn time. Valoreth couldn't rest. The more he tried to suppress the secret that had been exposed, the more the fire grew.The reason? He didn’t know. It was as if someone out there was fueling the flame.The realm was turning against the seat, and that was the one damn thing he had been trying to avoid. The question was—who?Was it the leader of the protest, whom he had already sent his soldiers to eliminate?One of the other Lords of the Emissaries?One of the palace elites?Or some invisible enemy he couldn’t pinpoint… and none of this would’ve happened if it weren’t for Toran fucking Venis spilling the beans.“The king?” Valoreth asked Head Maid Gatha.“Still imprisoned, my Lord. You haven’t said what to do with him,” she replied, keeping her head low.“Why are you here anyway?” he shot her a look.“Mistress Yvonne has gone into labor. I thought to inform you, my Lord.”Lord Valoreth scoffed. “That information i

    Ever since Toran spilled the beans, the realm had been even more chaotic than before. At first, it was just a rumor that Duncan had been killed by those in power with poison, but many didn’t really believe it. After all, Arianna was his mate—the devil they had blamed. Her blood wasn’t trusted.But Toran’s words proved them wrong. They really did kill the king.The protest began to gain more people as the true colors of those in power started to spill out.Palace soldiers marched toward the house of Greystone in the Ravenhood Pack, where the elders were gathered.They burst in with swords and met Elder Varyn and a few others in the middle of discussing how to bring those in power down.“Found you,” the leader of the soldiers smirked.Elder Varyn’s jaw clenched. One of their own must have been bribed and exposed them. He had expected this, but having others die with him wasn’t what he wanted.“Kill them.”“Wait,” Elder Varyn stepped forward. “I'm the one who started all this. Take only

    {Moon realm… A few days later}Tarven…“More ale, you little bitch!” a gruff, drunk male roared, kicking the girl lying helplessly before him. Her arms flew up in defense.“Get up, cûnt!” Kick. “Why—” kick “—are you wasting my—” kick “—time!”She whimpered, blood trickling from her nose, ears, and lips.“Come on, Brat. How do you expect her to tend to you while you kick her like that?” another man said, forcing a female against his table as he played with her bréast.“Look who’s talking,” the gruff male spat, then shot a look at the girl. “Do you want some more?”The young girl scrambled to her feet without being told twice. She ignored the pain tearing through her body and went to get more ales.When she returned, the gruff male scanned her from head to toe.“How old are you?”She hesitated, keeping her gaze low.“Fourteen, sire.”“Fourteen,” he echoed, voice softer but laced with taunt. “What’s your name?”Another pause. “Mea, sire.”“Mea…” he licked his lips, scanning her again. “C

    “No. It's dangerous,” Arianna shook her head. “But I'll take you there someday, just not yet.”Rheal looked away momentarily, breathing as if trying to hold back his tears.Arianna’s chest tightened. It had been barely two months since she awoke from the crystal. She had made sure to spend most of her time with Rheal but... It wasn't enough.Her son was beautiful in every inch, the thought of leaving tomorrow made her heart heavy as well.“Come here,” Arianna pulled him close to her embrace, and he wrapped his tiny arms around her tightly.Then a light, muffled sob came—a breath close to changing her decision.“Your auntie will remain here. When the time comes, she'll bring you over. You’ll finally get to see your father as well.”“Promise?” the little boy croaked.“I promise, sweetheart. We'll see each other again soon.”Before his birthday, she'll make sure things get back to normal. She make sure if that.“Ska Myzara! (My Queen!) Come dance with us!” Sylra's voice called from the d

  • The Lycan King's Forbidden Craving    Chapter 213: All hail the Queen!

    While Lylah spent time trying to help Lucas wake, Arianna was building.Feel the fire.That was a primary fact of being a dragon keeper. Fire is part of you. You are the fire. The fire is you.When determination burns within, there's no stopping.That was the state of Arianna. The power felt strong, yet familiar—part of her, as if she had been in these shoes before.Within a few days, she was thriving, loved and respected by the people, except that something kept calling her. Something she couldn't ignore.Her half was still there. And as badly as she wanted to stay with her son and mother to grow the connection, Arianna still felt empty.Now, she stood on top of a small mountain, below were the werewolf soldiers being led out by the Ouroboros warriors.The werewolves hadn't been starved ever since they got here, and it was time to see if the hospitality had shoved some senses into them.Falcon stood by her right side like the strong protector he had always been, eyes sharp.Eryz was

    *It's a good thing. We'll have more of it. Let's go see our mate,* Nyx responded."Nyx, you're the worst."*That's why you love me. Tell me, you didn't enjoy last night.*Lylah rolled her eyes as she walked toward the window.The ghost of Lucas' touch still lingered on her skin. The memory of how he pinned her over sent the blood in her veins igniting, her core clenched.Fuck. After being wrecked, she still wanted it.Was it this addictive?The sky was bright outside. She was still in the North Wing. Good.She sighted a cloak and put it on before heading out. Legs apart, her strong warrior walk had disappeared.There was no sign of Arianna. She was glad, knowing her sister wouldn't let her leave like this. She went to the nearby barn to steal a horse.“Lylah.”Lylah sucked in a sharp breath. Head crooked to the side—and there was Falcon.“Where are you going? Lady Arianna wants you to rest.”“Well, she’s not here, and I want to see Lucas.” Lylah began untying the rope that bound the h
