It had been about a week since the fiasco that nearly levelled the main wing of the estate. Seraphina had been asleep since she collapsed in my arms, her body retreating into a protective coma. While she slept, I was left to clean up the wreckage—both the physical debris and the psychological scars.

The "intruder" had been identified. That blob of mangled flesh in the backyard was a werewolf—or he had been, before Seraphina... no, before that thing inside

    Seraphina’s POV The drive north was gruesome, a relentless stretch of asphalt that seemed to drag on for a lifetime. Lucien had insisted that we travel by car, his voice leaving no room for argument. He claimed it was the only way to avoid suspicion, to stay beneath the radar. A part of me felt like he was hiding something—another secret tucked away in the dark corners of his mind—but I tried to push the suspicion down. He was doing this for my own good. He had to be, right? Still, the atmosphere in the cramped SUV was suffocating. For hours, the only sound was the low hum of the engine and the occasional, mutterings from the driver’s seat. Lucien was a man possessed, his knuckles white against the steering wheel as he whispered obscenities to himself in French. His phone was a permanent fixture in his hand, and every few miles, he would hiss into the receiver, his tone clipped and lethal as he coordinated with Alec or someone else in his network.

  • The Lycan King's Forbidden Human Mate   Chapter 43

    The walk to her room felt like a descent into a fever dream. Every second that had passed while she was unconscious was a needle under my skin, but now that she was awake, the fear had shifted into something else. I shoved the double doors open, the wood thudding against the bumpers with a violent crash that made the young doctor jump. She was sitting up in the bed, looking smaller than I remembered against the mountain of white pillows. She looked fragile, her skin like porcelain against the harsh, bleached linens, and the light in her eyes flickered with something haunting. Yet, she was still my Seraphina —the woman who had turned my world upside-down. I didn't waste a single moment. I crossed the room in three strides, my shadow falling over her before I pulled her into my arms, hauling her against my chest as if I could physically shield her from the secrets I was carrying. Her sweet, floral scent—mixed with the tang of the antiseptic—filled my sens

    The headache was a rhythmic thumping behind my eyes, a physical manifestation of the stress Alec had been pouring into me for the last hour. I paced the length of my study, the floorboards creaking under the weight of a man who felt the world tilting on its axis. The familiar scents of the room—old parchment, expensive leather, and the lingering ozone of a storm—did nothing to calm the wolf clawing at my insides. Every step I took felt like I was walking on glass, the fragile peace I had built around Sephina shattered by the secrets Alec had unearthed. "The Blackwood family helped sign off on the death sentencing of Adrian Valentine and his son in order for no punishment to be administered against Sarah Blackwood," Alec had said earlier, his voice as cold and clinical as a surgeon's blade slicing through flesh. "They were always obsessed with the preservation of their lineage," I growled to the shadows, the words tasting like ash and bile. I spat the se

    The first thing I noticed wasn't the light, but the silence. It wasn't the peaceful quiet of a sleeping house or the hushed anticipation of a library; it was a heavy, pressurized vacuum that seemed to ring in my ears. I opened my eyes and gasped. I wasn't in my bed. I wasn't even in the world I recognized. I was standing in a place of absolute, blinding purity. Everything was white. There were no shadows to define corners, no horizon to separate the ground from the sky. It felt infinite and claustrophobic all at once. As I took a step, the surface beneath my feet felt like polished marble—cool, smooth, and spotlessly clean. Am I dead? The thought hit me with a cold spike of terror. Is this heaven? Or is it a waiting room for something worse? "You didn't die, you fool," a voice drawled. The sound sliced through the silence like a razor. I knew that voice. It was a mirror of my own, but stripped of all warmth

    It had been about a week since the fiasco that nearly levelled the main wing of the estate. Seraphina had been asleep since she collapsed in my arms, her body retreating into a protective coma. While she slept, I was left to clean up the wreckage—both the physical debris and the psychological scars. The "intruder" had been identified. That blob of mangled flesh in the backyard was a werewolf—or he had been, before Seraphina... no, before that thing inside her had torn him apart. I couldn’t forget the look in her eyes. It wasn't Seraphina’s warmth; it was a gaze fueled by excitement, malice, and anger. It was a predator looking at prey. A gnawing feeling had settled in my stomach, one that no amount of scotch or training could dull. I hadn't visited her room in three days. The doctor insisted she was stable and would wake soon, but I found myself hovering at her door, unable to enter. How was I supposed t

  • The Lycan King's Forbidden Human Mate   Chapter 39

    Lucien pov. We had just finished sparring, and the men and I were taking a break. It was intense, precisely what I needed to bleed off the agitation simmering under my skin. I had been losing my mind over Seraphina’s sudden coldness. Just when I thought my mate and I were finally moving forward, obstacles kept appearing. I was actively looking for ways to bypass the ancient laws banning human-werewolf relationships. She was human, but it was the Moon Goddess’s wish to make her mine. I wouldn't let a law stand in the way of fate. I smelled her during the match. Kael, my wolf, was already howling in my head. My mate was near. Maybe we could move past whatever was bothering her. “Tell the others I don’t want to be disturbed. No visit—” I was cut off by a sound that shattered the air. It shook the estate to its core, sending a minor earthquake through the training grounds. Those without proper balance were left t
