The Lycan King's Forbidden Human Mate Chapter 24
The weight of the note in my pocket felt like a brand against my hip. 'A human who aspires to be what she isn't will be cut down.' Every time the paper crinkled, my heart stuttered. I watched the maids moving my belongings Mindy, Sarah, and the others with a newfound sense of paranoia. I didn’t trust them. I didn’t trust the way they avoided my eyes, or the way their movements were coordinated. Something in me, a primal instinct I didn’t know I possessed, screamed at me to keep the threat a secret.I lugged the remaining garbage bags of my life up to the West Wing myself, refusing help. My mind was a whirlwind of dark possibilities. Was I being targeted by Hannah, a woman scorned and bitter? Or was it someone worse someone lurking in the shadows?Monsieur Aurelien had claimed he had no lovers, but that didn't mean he lacked deranged admirers or enemies who might have seen me as a convenient target. I needed to find out why I was being hunted. I needed to

Lucien’s POVAfter reading the letter addressed to Hannah, I came to two conclusions: someone on my staff was feeding information to the Council, and Seraphina was no longer safe in the servants' quarters.That was why I sat her down in the lounge area of my suite to explain the new arrangements while we ate dinner."So, that is how it will be," I stated firmly."Sir, I still don't understand why I have to move into the room next door," she questioned, her brow furrowed."It is for your own good. It is better for you to stay close to me."She let out an exasperated sigh. I thought the discussion was over, but her next question caught me off guard."But, sir... won't it be inappropriate? It’s what brought us..." Her voice trailed off, growing quiet. I knew what she meant. Our proximity had triggered Hannah’s jealousy, leading to the very incident that nearly killed her."Look, I don’t have a lover, if t

The sky was already clearing by the time I finished formulating my next move. With the first light of dawn, I decided it was time to handle this once and for all. I needed to get to the root of the rot in my own house. I took the private stairs to my office, avoiding the staff; I didn't trust what I would do to them. They were all complicit. Every one of them had disobeyed my orders.Opening the mind-link, I commanded, "Hannah, come to my office. Now." I enunciated every syllable with intent."Good morning, Lucien. Is something the matter?" she replied, using that faux-niceness she used to charm everyone. I closed the link without a word to let her know I meant business.Three minutes later, she knocked. I told her to enter.As she stepped in, her eyes darted everywhere except at me. I let the silence stretch, heavy and suffocating."Lucien, you wan—""It is 'Your Majesty' to you," I cut her off. She was getting too big for her breeches, and I needed to remind her of the vast chasm b

Lucien’s Pov I reached the castle gates just after midnight. The guards greeted me with deep bows of total submission, but I was focused on only two things: getting inside and securing the safety of the figure in my arms.Seraphina.Seraphina was bruised, beaten, and unrecognizable from being left outside for God knows how long. I had only taken a brief business trip abroad, and the first thing I heard upon my return was that she had been thrown into the woods because she was "being disrespectful to Hannah." Hannah had no right to give her a punishment I had specifically forbidden.I reached the castle doors and didn't bother knocking; I kicked them open with my foot. The frantic noise inside ceased instantly. I stepped in, ignoring the stares of the staff. They were likely wondering why I was naked and carrying a bloody, bruised woman, but I didn't care. I ignored everyone, including Hannah, who stood shocked; whether by my nakedness, Seraphina's state, or the fact that she was even

Content Warning: This chapter contains scenes of physical violence and attempted sexual assault. Reader discretion is advised. It had been three days since the guards threw me into the woods per Hannah’s orders. I had been managing by foraging for berries and roots, praying I hadn’t eaten anything poisonous. I was lost, wandering aimlessly in circles. It was only a matter of time before a wild animal found me, or I died from starvation, dehydration, or hypothermia. Whichever came first. My luck just kept getting worse. From the frying pan into the fire itself. Abandoned at birth, and now this was my fate. I was sure Hannah had already made up a story about my disappearance to Monsieur Aurelien. Or maybe he wouldn't have cared anyway. He seemed to hate my guts for whatever reason. I wonder if he came back home and noticed I was gone, I thought bitterly. I wonder if he freaked out
The Lycan King's Forbidden Human Mate Chapter 19
The next day was filled with another round of mental torture. I was constantly fighting off thoughts of the wolf from last night. Its eyes reminded me vaguely of Monsieur Aurelien, but I didn’t want to get myself into bigger trouble by mentioning something so absurd to him. What if he kicked me out? Or worse, what if he was the wolf from last night and tried to eat me—and not in the romantic way? I was terrified of him. Thankfully, he was still ignoring me, or else I would be shaking like a leaf if he saw me. I was also thankful that the witch Hannah was busy with whatever she did as Head of Estate Affairs. I finished preparing his breakfast. I tried calling for Mrs. Higgins but couldn't find her anywhere. I really didn't want to deliver his food by myself. I really didn't want to interact with him at all. I looked for another maid, Beth. “Have you seen Mrs. Higgins?” I asked, trying to keep my tone light without showing my
