Rosalee's Point of View

I slowly stir awake, blinking against the soft morning light filtering through the curtains. The room is quiet, the house still, aside from the occasional distant sound of birds chirping outside. A deep sigh escapes me as I stretch, my muscles slightly sore from staying curled up in bed with my book until late last night.

Sitting up, I take a slow glance around the room, reminding myself of where I am. Today is the day I start training. My first lesson.

I’m not exactly sure what to expect, but I know I need to be ready.

With reluctant determination, I push the blankets aside and swing my legs over the edge of the bed, my bare feet meeting the cold floor. The air feels crisp as I stand, making my way over to the closet where I had packed my clothes.

Pulling the doors open, my fingers brush over the neatly folded fabrics as I decide what to wear. Finally, I settle on a dark green pair of tights and a matching sports bra. The material is stretchy yet snug

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Chapter 53

    Jensen's Point of View As Rosalee and I sit at the kitchen table, eating our breakfast and making light hearted conversation, my mind wanders. Ever since yesterday, having her in my office, talking over dinner, and watching her read that book, I’ve realized just how little she truly knows. She’s naïve in a way that makes me second guess my own suspicions. Maybe there really isn’t anything more to the story than what she’s told me. And goddess help me, I want to believe her. Every time we spend even a little time together, the mate bond flares up. It’s subtle but undeniable. The way she unconsciously touches or plays with her hair when she’s deep in thought, the way her scent lingers in a room longer than it should, it’s pulling me in. And that’s dangerous. We finish our meal, clearing the plates in silence, the sound of dishes clinking against the sink filling the space between us. As soon as we’re done, I head back to my room, changing into more appropriate clothes for the d

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Chapter 54

    Rosalee's Point of View I walk across the training mat toward Nyx, my heart pounding slightly in anticipation. I extend my hand toward her, offering a small but determined smile. "Hello, my name is Rosalee," I say. Nyx takes my hand in a firm grip, nodding her head as she studies me with a sharp, assessing gaze. "Hello, Rosalee. It’s nice to officially meet you. My name is Nyx, and I’ll be in charge of your training. For today, I just want to get a sense of your strength and endurance so I can put together the right training plan for you." I nod my head, signaling that I understand. Nyx folds her arms and tilts her head slightly. "Have you ever done any combat training before?" I shake my head. "No, I’ve never trained before." Nyx nods her head again, her expression unreadable. "Alright, let’s start with something simple." She lifts her hands in front of her and gestures for me to do the same. "Make fists with both hands." I follow her instruction, curling my fingers ti

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Chapter 55

    Rosalee's Point of View The walk toward the pack house is quiet, the only sound being the rhythmic crunch of gravel beneath our feet. Josh walks slightly ahead of me, his posture straight and disciplined, his eyes scanning the area with the watchful precision of a trained guard. I hesitate for a moment before deciding to break the silence. If Josh is going to be protecting me, the least I can do is try to be friendly, maybe even make a friend. Quickening my steps, I move up beside him and glance up at his stoic face before asking, “Have you always been a part of Jensen’s pack?” Josh glances down at me, his expression neutral but not unkind, and gives a small nod of his head. “Yes, I was born into the Dark Moon Pack.” I nod my head in response, thinking of what to say next. Small talk has never really been my strong suit, but I push forward anyway. “So, do you have a mate?” Josh’s face softens slightly as a small smile tugs at his lips. “Yes, I have a mate.” The warmth in

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Chapter 56

    Jensen's Point of View The quiet ticking of the clock on the wall draws my attention away from the documents scattered across my desk. I glance at it and realize how late it has gotten. Rosalee is still at Marcus’s house. I exhale, running a hand through my hair before opening a mind link to Josh. “Josh, can you please go to Marcus’s house and get Rosalee? Escort her to my office.” His response is immediate. “On my way.” I cut the link and immediately open another to Marcus. “I’m sorry, Marcus. I didn’t realize how late it had gotten. Josh is on his way now to bring Rosalee back to my office.” Marcus acknowledges my message with a simple “Understood,” before the link fades. With that handled, I return my focus to the folder in front of me. It’s a detailed report on pack business, territory disputes, security concerns, supply management, and diplomatic efforts with neighboring packs. The first section outlines the territory patrols and border activity. There have been

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Chapter 57

    Jensen's Point of View A heavy silence settles over us, thick with unspoken tension. The weight of Ronan’s words lingers in the air, but there’s no time to hesitate. “Let’s go,” I say, my voice firm. Ronan and I stride toward the door, but I notice Rosalee isn’t moving. I stop and turn to her, searching her face. “Do you want to come with us, or would you prefer to stay here?” She hesitates, her expression torn between uncertainty and determination. Then, her eyes harden with resolve. “I want to go with you.” I nod my head, acknowledging her decision. This isn’t something she has to see, but if she wants to, I won’t stop her. As we step outside, Nyx is already waiting by the truck, her arms crossed over her chest, her usual unreadable expression in place. Without wasting any time, I take the driver’s seat while Ronan slides into the front passenger side. Nyx and Rosalee climb into the back, the quiet tension between us all growing thicker. I fire up the engine, and

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Chapter 58

    Jensen's Point of View I reach down and offer Rosalee my hand. She takes it without hesitation, her fingers warm as they wrap around my hand. As she rises from where she had been crouched beside an injured pack member, she looks up at me, concern evident in her eyes. “Is something wrong?” she asks, brushing a few stray strands of hair from her face. I sigh as nod my head, my expression grim. “Ronan and Nyx found the trackers, two of them are dead, the other two are still alive, but injured. They are on their way back now.” Rosalee’s lips press into a thin line, her shoulders tense as she shakes her head. “I hate this. All of this. All this destruction, the pain... The loss. And what is it all for? Power? Land?” Her voice is tight with frustration, the same helpless anger that’s been gnawing at me for weeks. I shrug slightly, though the weight of the situation makes it feel heavier than it should. “I really wish I knew, what the point of all this is.” For a moment, we stand

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Chapter 59

    Rosalee's Point of View The drive back to Dark Moon Pack is eerily silent. No one knows what to say after witnessing such devastation, so we simply sit in the quiet, each lost in our own thoughts. I lean my head against the cool window, watching the trees blur past, trying to process everything. The air is thick with exhaustion and grief, but also a determination to help in whatever way we can. When we finally pull up to the packhouse, Nyx turns to me, her expression unreadable but soft. “Would you like me to ask Josh to take you home, or do you want to wait here?” she asks. I shake my head immediately, sitting up straighter. “No, I want to help. I worked at a hotel for two years, I can get rooms ready for our guests or assist in any way needed.” Nyx nods her head in appreciation. “Thank you. That would be a huge help.” As I step out of the truck, I move to the back door and offer Luna Piper a hand. She takes it with a grateful smile, one hand instinctively resting on her r

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Chapter 60

    Jensen's Point of View The pack house looms ahead, a beacon of familiarity after what has felt like an endless drive. The weight of exhaustion settles over me, but there’s no time to dwell on it. As soon as we step out of the vehicle, Ronan, Marcel, and I move with purpose, heading straight for my office. Inside, the warm glow of the desk lamp casts long shadows against the walls. The air is thick with the scent of aged wood, paper, and the faint lingering traces of whiskey from previous nights spent strategizing here. I reach for the bottle on the shelf, pouring three glasses of the rich amber liquid. Wordlessly, I hand one glass to Ronan and the other one to Marcel. They both nod their heads in thanks, and together, we take a heavy swig, the burn running down my throat and settling deep in my chest. Breaking the silence, I say, “This has been a draining day. Let’s get some rest tonight. We can form a plan for our next move in the morning.” Ronan and Marcel nod in agreement,

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Chapter 113

    Jensen's Point of ViewThe early morning light spills through the office windows in soft gold streaks, casting long shadows across my desk. The house is quiet, save for the ticking of the clock on the wall and the subtle creak of old wood beneath the walls. I take a deep breath, rubbing my hands together before opening a mind link.“Nyx, Ronan—please meet me in my office.”Their responses are almost immediate, overlapping with precision.“On my way.”I close the link and sit back in my chair, fingers laced in front of me as I gather my thoughts. This plan could change everything—or backfire spectacularly. One wrong move, and we risk everything we’ve built, everyone we’ve sworn to protect.A sharp knock pulls me from the spiral.“Come in,” I call.The door opens and Ronan steps in first, Nyx right behind him. They both move with purpose, slipping into the chairs across from me without a word. Their expressions are focused, waiting.I don't waste time.“We’ve got a situation,” I begin.

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Chapter 112

    Rosalee's Point of View The walls feel like they’re closing in on me as I pace the living room again. I’ve already circled the coffee table at least a dozen times, my fingers fidgeting with the hem of my sweater as my thoughts race. I can't sit still. I tried. The silence is too loud, too accusing. Every second that ticks by just feeds the knot in my stomach. Jensen is at that alliance meeting right now, and I have no idea how it’s going. What if they turn on him because of me? What if I’ve ruined everything? I glance out the window, Nyx and Josh are still there, casually keeping watch like I’m a prisoner in my own home. I know they’re just doing their job. Jensen asked them to. But it still stings. That after everything, I still need to be watched. Suddenly, a sharp knock at the front door freezes me in place. My heart leaps into my throat. For a second, my breath catches, did something go wrong? Did Jensen send someone back? My feet move before my thoughts can catch up, and I

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Chapter 111

    Jensen's Point of View I brace myself for the sting of Celine’s words, expecting anger, blame, maybe even a demand that we disband the alliance entirely. But what she says takes me completely by surprise. “I have seen firsthand what Crimsonclaw is capable of,” she says, her voice steady despite the residual weakness in her frame. “So I will do anything to stop them. If that means overlooking what Rosalee did, then Shadow Vale will join the alliance too.” For a moment, I can’t speak. Relief washes over me in a heavy wave, loosening the tension in my shoulders. I incline my head towards her, grateful beyond words. “Thank you, Alpha Celine.” Her nod is small but resolute, and it carries more weight than anything said in this room so far. I glance towards Dorian and Elias, hoping, maybe foolishly, that Celine’s words might sway them. But Elias explodes. He shoves back from the table so violently his chair screeches across the floor. “You’re all idiots,” he spits, eyes flashi

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Chapter 110

    Jensen's Point of View It’s 08:45 when Ronan and I pull up in front of Shadow Vale. The morning air is sharp, still laced with the earthy scent of damp soil and pine, but there’s a tension coiled in my chest that has nothing to do with the cold. As I scan the area, I spot several vehicles already parked, members of the alliance packs arriving early, likely just as anxious as we are. I let my gaze linger on the structure of Shadow Vale’s pack house. They are stil rebuilding after Crimsonclaws last attack. It’s quiet now, but I know inside there will be questions, possibly accusations, and it all starts with me. With what I have to say. I turn to Ronan in the passenger seat, watching him as he takes in the scene. He’s calm on the surface, but I can sense the same unease rippling through him. I ask, “How do you think they’re going to take it?” Ronan exhales through his nose, eyes flicking towards the windshield before meeting mine. “I really don’t know,” he admits. “Getting them

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Chapter 109

    Jensen's Point of View I take a deep breath, feeling the weight of their eyes on me, Ronan’s expectant and unreadable, Nyx’s sharp and already narrowing like she’s halfway to the truth. I look between them and then to Rosalee. She won’t meet their eyes. She sits with her shoulders drawn in, fingers still twisting in her lap. I can feel her fear radiating off her, and I hate that I’m the one who has to say it out loud. “I need to tell you both something,” I begin, voice low but steady. “And I need you to hear all of it before you react.” That gets Nyx’s full attention. Her arms cross, jaw tight. Ronan leans forward slightly, eyes flicking from me to Rosalee. I run a hand down my face, then continue. “Rosalee… has been leaking information. To Crimsonclaw.” Nyx’s face hardens instantly. Ronan’s jaw ticks. “But...” I raise a hand to stop them before they can speak, “she didn’t know it was Crimsonclaw.” Nyx scoffs under her breath, but I push through. “She met her mother th

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Chapter 108

    Jensen's Point of View I watch as Rosalee reaches out to me, her hands trembling, her expression full of fear and regret. But I can’t bring myself to let her touch me. I step back, shaking my head, the words slipping from my mouth before I even think about them. "No... Just... No.. I can't do this." The moment those words leave my lips, I see the fear in her eyes, and for a split second, I feel a flicker of doubt. But the anger and the betrayal have clouded everything, and I can’t bring myself to care. Not now. She doesn’t understand the depth of what she’s done. I thought we were building something real. I thought we had a connection. But now, it feels like a sick joke, and I can’t stand the thought of it. The betrayal is one thing, but what really stings the most is that what Rosalee and I could have been... it’s gone. Just like that. She opens her mouth again, probably to lie, to make excuses, and I can’t take it. I shake my head, my anger rising again. "I have to go." I need

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Chapter 107

    Rosalee's Point of View Jensen shakes his head slowly, his movements stiff and mechanical like he can’t quite believe what he’s hearing. Then he pushes up from his chair so abruptly that it scrapes loudly against the floor, the sound making me flinch. He stays behind his desk, putting a solid barrier between us, but his eyes, those familiar, steady eyes, are stormy now, clouded with disbelief and something that looks dangerously close to hurt. Tears blur my vision, and I lift my hands in surrender, my body trembling so hard I can barely stand still. I shake my head too, desperate to make him understand, to make him believe me. "It’s true," I choke out, my voice breaking completely now. "But I promise you, Jensen, I didn’t know I was giving information to Crimsonclaw." His jaw tightens, muscles ticking furiously under his skin. When he speaks, his voice is low, hard. "Rosalee, what did you do?" I wrap my arms around myself like I can somehow hold myself together,

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Chapter 106

    Rosalee's Point of View Nyx’s words hit me like a slap across the face, each one cutting deeper than the last. She doesn't even blink as she stares me down, her voice sharp and accusing. "How could you, Rosalee? Jensen trusted you. We took you in as one of our own, and this is how you thank us? By giving inside information to our enemy." I feel the sting of tears before I even realize they're falling, blurring my vision, making it harder to keep looking at her. I shake my head desperately, my voice cracking as I say, "No, Nyx, it's not like that. I didn't know. I promise you, I didn’t know." But she just shakes her head right back at me, disbelief and disappointment carved into every hard line of her face. "Why would you share private information with anyone? No matter the circumstances." The shame weighs down my shoulders, makes me feel so small. I hang my head, barely able to get the words out. "I thought I was making a difference," I whisper, my voice thick with

It’s just a common name. It doesn’t have to mean anything.I fight to keep my breathing even, my expression blank, because out of the corner of my eye, I catch Nyx watching me.

Can you describe her?"His tone is calm, steady, as if he has no idea that the ground beneath me is crumbling into dust.Alpha Celine nods her head, her voice steady as she starts,"She is about my height, maybe a few inches taller. She has long pitch black hair and striking blue eyes. I’ll never be able to forget
