Rosalee's Point of View

I lean against the front door for a few quiet moments, letting the weight of the day slide off my shoulders. My body aches from training, and I can already feel the soreness setting into my muscles. With a deep breath, I push off the door and head straight for the bathroom, craving the comfort of a warm bath.

I turn the silver taps and watch the water rush into the tub. Soon steam starts curling into the air. The sound of the running water is soothing, almost meditative. As the water fills the tub, I peel off my sweat-soaked training clothes and toss them into the laundry hamper. Nyx wasn’t exaggerating, today was brutal. Every movement reminds me of the relentless sparring, the tension in each strike. I can only hope the hot bath brings some relief to my aching muscles.

I dip my fingers into the water, testing the temperature. Perfect. I shut off the taps and sink into the tub with a low content sigh, the heat wrapping around me like a cocoon. For a while,

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Chapter 125

    Rosalee's Point of ViewI sit quietly in front of the mirror, the morning light filtering in through the window casting a soft glow over the room. My fingers tremble slightly as I finish braiding my hair, tying it off tightly at the end. It feels like a small act of control, something solid in the midst of the storm churning in my stomach. I stare at my reflection, trying to convince myself, I’m ready. I repeat the words silently, again and again. But no matter how many times I say it, the knot in my gut won’t loosen.Today is the day we face Crimsonclaw. Today is the day I face my mother... The day everything changes.A knock at the door pulls me from my thoughts. I stand, my legs feeling a little unsteady beneath me, and quickly cross the room. When I open the door, Jensen stands there, his expression grim and unreadable. He’s already dressed for battle, his eyes sharper than usual, his mouth set in a tight line.“It’s time,” he says, his voice low and steady.I nod my head, not tru

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Chapter 123

    Rosalee's Point of View It’s 13:30, the clock on the wall ticking steadily in Jensen’s home office, but still no word from him. I sit on the edge of the couch, my foot bouncing anxiously. I keep glancing at my phone, willing it to light up. What if the alphas don’t trust me? What if they see me as Crimsonclaw’s spy, no matter what I’ve done to prove otherwise? My thoughts begin to spiral, tightening like a noose around my confidence, until a knock at the front door snaps me out of it. I blink, startled. Jensen wouldn’t knock. Maybe he sent Josh to let me down gently. I cross the floor quickly, half running down the hall and pull open the door, only to find Nyx standing there, arms crossed, expression unreadable. Her eyes scan me from head to toe, taking in my training clothes. “Great,” she says bluntly. “You’re already dressed. Jensen talked to the alphas, they’ve agreed to fight with you.” I release a breath I didn’t realize I was holding, relief softening my tense shoulder

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Chapter 122

    Jensen's Point of View I sit at my desk, phone pressed to my ear, listening to the steady ringing on the other end of the line. This is the last call on my list of Lycan packs thaat were attacked by Crimsonclaw, every other Lycan pack I’ve contacted has already agreed to join us in the fight against Crimsonclaw. I expect this conversation to go the same way. On the third ring, a gruff voice answers. “Alpha Thorne speaking.” “Alpha Thorne, this is Alpha Jensen of the Dark Moon Pack.” There’s a beat of silence before he replies, wary but polite. “King Jensen. Of course I know who you are. What’s this about?” “Alpha Jensen is fine, thank you. I’ll get right to it. Crimsonclaw is on the move, and we’ve set a trap. In two days, we’re springing it. This is the best chance we’ve had to end them, for good. We’re gathering every available ally, and I’m giving you and the Bloodstone Pack the opportunity to join us.” The line goes quiet again. Then Thorne lets out a low growl of thou

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Chapter 121

    Jensen's Point of View I sit behind my desk, the morning sun pouring in through the tall window behind me, casting warm streaks of light across the wood grain. My coffee's gone cold, untouched since I set it down. My fingers trace the rim of the mug absently as my thoughts wander back to breakfast with Rosalee. It had been… nice. Warm. For a few minutes, it had felt almost normal, like before everything fell apart. But I should’ve known something was coming, there was a tension in her eyes, a determination under the surface of her smile. And then she said it. “I want to help and fight in the trap set for Crimsonclaw.” I exhale slowly, rubbing the back of my neck as I lean back in my chair. That familiar ache is there again, a tight coil of conflict deep in my chest. I still don’t know how I feel about her joining the fight. On one hand, the thought of her in danger turns my stomach. I still care about her. More than I’d like to admit. No matter how complicated it’s gotten betwee

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Chapter 120

    Rosalee's Point of ViewI wake up feeling something I haven’t felt in a very long time, hope. Real, tangible hope. There is a buzz of determination in my chest, and I sit up quickly, the soft morning light spilling in through the curtains. Today is the day training starts with all the packs, and I have made up my mind: I want to be a part of it. I’m done standing on the sidelines. I might not be a warrior, but I can fight, and I will.I swing my legs out of bed and head straight for my closet, my mind already working through the conversation I’ll have with Jensen. He might not be thrilled about me joining the training, but maybe I can soften him up a little first. I pull on a pair of black tights and a snug sports bra, then throw on a fitted, breathable shirt over it. It’s perfect for training, practical, but still me.Once I’m dressed, I walk barefoot into the kitchen. The quiet hum of the early morning wraps around me, comforting. I roll my shoulders back and get to work. If I want

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Chapter 119

    Jensen's Point of View With a plan set to finally take down Crimsonclaw all that is left to do is call Alpha Dorian and Alpha Ellias and tell them about the plan. They should know and have to opportunity to decide what they want to do and if they want to be involved. With a sigh I pick up my office land line. The phone feels heavier in my hand than usual, the weight of what’s coming pressing down on me as I dial Dorian’s number. Each ring echoes in my chest, until finally, on the fourth, his voice comes through. “Alpha Jensen. Is everything okay?” I lean back slightly in my chair, eyes flicking to the map still laid out across my office table. “Yes, Alpha Dorian. Everything’s under control, for now.” I pause, then speak steadily. “I just wanted to let you know that the trap is in motion. We’ve set it for three days from now. We’ve planned the transport of Alpha Celine as bait, Crimsonclaw will try to intercept. That’s when we strike.” There’s silence on the other end for a

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Chapter 118

    Jensen's Point of View The room is thick with tension, but also focus, the kind of focus that comes when people know the stakes and are finally starting to see a path forward. We all stand around the large table in my office, the maps of the region spread out before us like a battlefield waiting to be claimed. Red markers, black ink trails, highlighters, it’s all a controlled chaos, and every set of eyes is locked on it. Rosalee leans forward, her finger hovering over one of the bolded lines as she speaks. “We can’t use main roads. Freya would never believe we’d move someone as importnant as Alpha Celine along one of them, they’re too exposed.” She’s right, and the room murmurs in agreement. Victor steps up next, tapping his knuckle on the area between two ridgelines. “That leaves us with these two back roads. The eastern ridge road will be easier, wider, more manageable for the convoy. But the river road?” He pauses, meeting my eyes. “That one’s perfect for an ambush.” I no

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Chapter 117

    Rosalee's Point of ViewAs the line goes dead in my ear, a strange mixture of relief and dread settles in my chest. I slowly lower the receiver, my fingers lingering on it for just a moment longer before I pull back and take a deep breath. My heart is still racing, but I force myself to steady it. That was probably the most important call I have ever made in my life, and possibly the most dangerous lie I have ever told.I turn to Jensen, his steady gaze meeting mine. “I think she bought it,” I say softly. “She tried to act like she wasn’t bothered, but I could hear it… the frustration in her voice.”Jensen nods his head slowly, his expression unreadable. “Let’s hope so.”I open my mouth to say something more, maybe to ask him what he thinks the next step is, or what happens if the plan fails, but he beats me to it.“I have arranged for us to have breakfast with the werewolf Alphas,” he says, already rising from his chair. “Alpha Marcel and Piper will be joining us, too. We should go.
