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 21: Felt

    Valkyrie’s blood drained from her face as she spotted King Duncan behind her. Her body went rigid, her throat suddenly dry.With one glance from the King, the guards immediately bowed and released Arianna, keeping their gaze low.“Darling...” Valkyrie exclaimed softly, attempting to step closer, but Duncan’s glare froze her in place.Dread pooled in her stomach. If she hadn’t gone to the restroom before coming here, she might have peed herself.Still, she tried to explain. “Your Grace, this slave dared to—”“Did I ask for your explanation?” Duncan’s sharp tone cut her off, making her swallow hard.“N-no... no, Your Grace...” she stammered, her face flushing with humiliation as her mouth snapped shut.Duncan’s gaze shifted to Arianna, who stood silently with her head lowered.“Did I not give you an order, slave?” he questioned in an icy tone that made Arianna shiver where she stood.“You did, Your Grace,” she replied softly.“And what are you still doing here?” his icy tone made her gl

    “You must be completely insane to go to the training ground. Not just that, you must be insane to let the Beta catch you, and you even sparred with him? What if he had hurt you beyond this?” Selene scolded, her voice laced with disbelief.Brigid, who had her feet crossed and resting on the wall. “He's handsome though. So handsome up close.”Selene hit her shoulder, and Brigid winced. “Have you completely gone mad? What if the king was the one who spotted you? You’d be skinned alive by now.”Brigid pouted. “I heard the king is even more handsome than his Beta. I haven’t seen King Duncan up close, but Beta Lucas... Oh, by the gods. He is beautiful.”"Are you even listening?" Selene huffed, pinching the bridge of her nose. This girl is going to be the end of her.“The king really asked you to treat her? His slave? And even allowed her to stay in his bed for the night?” Brigid asked, her voice edged with disbelief.“Yes,” Selene replied, her voice clipped as she started to prepare for an

  • The Lycan King's Forbidden Craving    Chapter 1: End her

    'To ascend your father's throne, you need to have a mate. You're to marry him, then we'll crown you as the Luna of the pack.' Arianna’s eyelids fluttered open, the elder’s words echoing in her mind. She stared at her reflection in the mirror, the makeup artist having done a flawless job. Clad in the most beautiful white gown she had ever seen, Arianna couldn’t help but feel a wave of nervousness wash over her. It was her wedding day. Her parents had died two years ago, devastating both her and the pack. With no male heir, Arianna, as the eldest daughter, was chosen to lead. But to be crowned, she had to marry. They believed it would strengthen the pack. Last year, on her twentieth birthday, the ball ceremony had been held, under the full moon. It was a grand event where wolves met their destined mates. Arianna remembered standing nervously in the corner, watching the scenes unfold. Then, suddenly, she caught a scent—strong, intoxicating, and utterly overwhelming. It melted

    Arianna watched as the first guard approached, crouching beside her. Painful whimpers escaped her throat, soft yet filled with agony."End her and bûrn the body." She couldn’t believe those words had come from Kael’s mouth. The man she had given her heart and body to was a traitor, and she was just a pawn to his own game of stealing the throne? The thought made her heart clench even tighter.“All my life, I’ve wondered what it would feel like to kill a highborn. It’ll be a marvelous feeling, I suppose. Now, I finally get the chance, thanks to Alpha Kael,” the guard sneered, licking his lips, his eyes gleaming with bloodlust.Arianna shut her eyes, more tears streaming down her face. She was slipping into darkness, her strength fading quickly. Her breathing was labored, and she knew her condition would worsen if she didn’t do something about the wound Kael had inflicted.“But today isn’t the day for that,” the guard added, and Arianna’s eyes fluttered open in confusion.What?The seco

    One moment, her life was perfect: a loving father, a respected pack, a devoted sister, and a mate who cherished her. But in the blink of an eye, everything shattered.The man she loved betrayed her, rejected her, and ordered her death. Fate twisted, and she was sold, branded a traitor. Now, her life was no longer her own.Arianna nervously fidgeted with her dress. The carriage was silent, thick with tension, as they head to an unknown destination. She could feel the guard's gaze on her, making her skin prickle with unease.Time dragged as the man asked the guards questions, none of which made sense to her. Her eyelids grew heavy, but fear kept her awake. Eventually, exhaustion won, and she drifted into sleep.The carriage stopped abruptly, jolting her awake. Realizing she had doze off, she inwardly scolded herself."Are you hungry?" The man's voice pulled her attention. His expression was unreadable."No," Arianna lied, but her stomach growled, betraying her. Their eyes met, and she k

    Arianna's heart raced even more as she stood paralyzed, the King's warm breath brushed her skin, his finger trailing up to her neck and collared it in a possessive manner.She didn't like this, didn't like the heat starting to spread through her body.Was he going to hurt her? She had heard of ruts and the uncontrollable desire that came with them-the periods of intense, primal urgency that not even the most civilized of her kind could resist.His nose buried his nose into the crook of her neck, inhaling deeply, as if her scent intoxicating. He then let out a low, throaty groan of satisfaction."Take your clothes off, get on the bed, all on four." His voice rough and thick with command, making her nerves tense.Arianna gritted her teeth, her eyes shut. "P...please," her voice came out like broken waves. A guttural growl of warning followed, an angry one that made her shiver.Left with no choice, she turned and took a few steps away from him, her legs weak with fear. His pair of golden

    Arianna snapped awake as the intense warmth surged into her, her body heating from the inside out as the King released his seed deep inside her. How long had she been under his sinful control? She had no idea.Her skin slick with sweat, her eyes heavy and filled with tears of pleasure from the intensity. Her folds were drenched in the King's release.Taming the Lycan King's rut had turned into something unexpected-unbelievable and daring. His rut had triggered her heat, and now, she craved more.She wanted him deep inside her, striking every part of her walls, hitting her womb, making her reach her peak. She wanted more, and he was giving it to her. Pleasure pulsing through her nerves.Her body ignited like never before, her most intimate parts throbbing and soaked with desire. She could feel her walls tightening around the King's length as it moved in and out, and at each thrust, a low growl rumbled from his chest.The bed creaked beneath their entwined bodies. King Duncan's pace rem

    'End her and burn the body.'Arianna gasped, snapping awake from her nightmares. Her chest rose and fell in rapid rhythm as she squeezed her eyes shut, desperately trying to calm her racing heart. It was haunting her again. The cruelty of her mate rejection tearing her from within.After drawing several deep breath, Arianna calmed, slowly took in her surrounding. She was not longer in the king's chamber but surrounded by cold walls and firm iron bars.With effort, she pushed herself up to a sitting position. A clanking sound echoed, and her gaze fell on the chains that bound her arms and legs, biting into her skin with their cruel tightness.Her appearance was disheveled. Her hair resembling a bird's nest, and her skin was marred with red marks from the King’s harsh, possessive grip. The soreness on her most intimate part forced her to keep her legs apart, an instinctive reaction to the pain."She's awake," a whisper broke the silence, drawing her attention to the cell across from he

    "Alive.""Not alive.""Alive.""Not alive."Lylah plucked the last leaf off the plant with a bored expression, then sighed, tossing it aside as she gazed up at the bright sky.Birds chirped, and a cool breeze grazed her skin. The morning was beautiful, yet it did nothing to ease the uneasiness gnawing at her.“Are you alive, Aria?” she muttered, a leaf dangling from the corner of her mouth. “I’ve spent all my savings just to find you, so you’d better be—because if you're not, I’ll kill you.”“My lady,” Ryder called from below, looking up at her. “It’s ready.”A small smile crept onto Lylah’s face, and she began climbing down the massive tree with practiced ease. Her boots hit the grass with a soft thud as she dusted off her hands.“Took them long enough,” she huffed as they made their way back to the inn. Pulling the leaf from her mouth, she grinned. “Alive.”“May I say something?” Ryder asked.Lylah nodded.“I don't think it’s a good idea to go to the Lunaris Citadel. They won’t let

    In his arms, she looked small and fragile against his imposing frame. Duncan’s brow furrowed at the words he had muttered.What was she? Could she be...No, he would know. He knew the symptoms, the pull, the intoxication. His heart wasn’t drawn to her; it was his Lycan. Lusting, wanting to devour her whole. Instead of purring and protecting her, it was raging to take her.There should be an answer. He always had an answer, but...Duncan’s eyes squinted as her head tilted slightly to the side. At first, he thought he was mistaken, that perhaps it was due to the dim light and shadows. But as he stared closer, it became clear.A mark.By the moon, could he be mistaken?Duncan’s mind froze as shock hit him like a tidal wave. The tattoo that ran across her neck let out a silvery glow for a fleeting moment. A crescent-shaped moon, like an endless circle. The symbol reminded him of his past.Centuries of memories surged through him like a storm, unbidden and merciless. Flames engulfing his h

    Never for a moment had Valkyrie missed the sight of her King. She always made sure to catch a glimpse of him, even just for a fleeting moment.They might not exchange words, but she made sure he saw her. Almost every night, he would summon her to his chamber to mount and satisfy his lust.He only took her from behind, no foreplay, no kissing, just straight to thrusting in her. Yet, she was satisfied by it.Her Darling still cares for her. He does.But tonight, all things had gone so wrong.It had been more than twenty-one hours; she had refused to eat or sleep.Her Darling was said to be busy throughout the day, yet she heard the gossip of a maid mentioning that the King had summoned his slave.That bitch, Arianna Greystone!She was on the verge of tears, her feet trembling with anxiety. Why had the King summoned the slave instead of her?Just one day, and she was forgotten?Was she to spend another sleepless night?Unable to take it, she went to the Sacred Moon wing, heading toward t

    A low growl tore out of Duncan's throat as his tongue dove further, greedily. His teeth gently grazed her soft flesh, causing her to scream; her body shook as pleasure rippled through her.Her back arched perfectly for his tongue to penetrate deeper.“Oh Gawd!… Your Grace!” she cried out, more fluidly, and Duncan drank it all in. He thrust his tongue in and out, his Lycan, Ash still raging inside him, too greedily.His hand shot out to reach her chest, grabbing her left breast, perfectly fitting in his hold. As if her body was made for him. Him alone.Devour her!Yet, subtle anger lingered within him. How could a mere slave trigger him this way? Effortlessly. A slave without a wolf, denying claim of being a traitor at the Grand Court.She had broken the rules several times. The first was when she met his gaze. A slave who looked their master straight in the eyes faced punishment, but he was occupied by that strange pull.Duncan despised hearing the cries of defiance during the slave t

    Valkyrie paced in her room, utterly disturbed. Her face was red, and she was on the verge of breaking down in tears.She couldn't sleep. Sleep had abandoned her.His possession? His?What, in the light of the moon, had happened at the court? How had she even managed to appear there after being whipped?Her plan had been to keep her hidden until she got the answers she needed, then expose her as a new slave who had broken the rules and let her face the death penalty.But that plan was ruined. Completely ruined.The door creaked open, revealing Selene."You!" Valkyrie roared, storming toward her. "How dare you betray me?! You tricked me, you old hag! You treated her and brought her to the court!"Selene's face remained calm. "You needed her, my lady. How would you have found out how she survived if she were dead?"Valkyrie scoffed. "Cut the bull. Your actions have made her the King's slave. How am I supposed to get my hands on her now?""The King won't believe her," Selene said calmly.

    My Possession. Mine.Those words rang over and over in Arianna's head as she sat in her small new chamber. No longer trapped within cold, stone walls, she was now confined in the Sacred Moon wing—her room not far from the King’s own.She could still feel the King’s touch—the way his thick fingers traced her scalp, neck, collarbone, and back. The fire it sparked within her as she knelt at his feet before the eyes of the Grand Court.Like a pretty little thing. His pretty little thing.By his feet, she felt as though that was where she belonged. The shock of the nobles and high lords wasn’t her concern, but she caught sight of Valkyrie's.The king's bestrothed eyes looked as though they were about to pop out of her skull. Her face had paled like that of the dead, dread, horror, regret, and anger filling her once-prideful features all at once. She remained that way until the trial ended.At least seven slaves were executed in the court that day. Others were assigned to a noble, warrior,
