Jensen's Point of View

I stand motionless in the room, staring at the door Rosalee just disappeared through. My chest feels tight, and my Lycan is restless, growling in frustration at my lack of action. Every fiber of my being screams at me to chase after her, to demand answers, to make her face the undeniable truth of what we are to each other. But I force myself to stay rooted in place, clenching my fists at my sides as I wrestle against the primal urge.

"Why is she doing this?" The thought echoes in my mind like a relentless drumbeat. I’ve never heard of mates meeting and wanting nothing to do with each other. It’s unthinkable. The bond is too strong, too sacred. And yet, here I am, standing in the aftermath of rejection.

Her words play over and over in my head, and I can’t shake the haunted look in her eyes. Whatever she’s hiding, it’s something she believes is so terrible that pretending not to understand what I’m talking about is her only option. But what could it be? What could

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Chapter 165

    Rosalee's Point of ViewI set my pen down gently, giving the last thank you note a final glance before folding it and slipping it into the envelope. My handwriting has gotten slower after the tenth note, but each one carries sincere gratitude. I want every guest who came to know how much it meant to have them there.I lean back in my chair and stretch, rolling my shoulders to work out the tension. The scent of something warm and savory drifts faintly into the room. My heart lifts before I even hear the soft knock on the doorframe.I look up, and there he is.Jensen.Just the sight of him brings a smile to my face. He looks so at ease here, standing in the doorway like he belongs, because he does. His voice is soft, full of affection. “I brought lunch. Thought we could take a break together.”I push the chair back and rise to my feet, brushing a loose strand of hair behind my ear as I cross the room towards him. My steps are light, but my heart is full.When I reach him, I place both h

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Chapter 164

    Jensen's Point of ViewI rise from my chair, pacing slowly behind my desk, the weight of everything pressing heavier against my shoulders with each step. Ronan and Nyx track me with their eyes, silent but attentive. The tension in the room is thick, charged with the urgency that’s been building since the last attack.“We can’t keep waiting for answers that might never come,” I say finally, halting in front of the tall windows overlooking the edge of the forest. “We’re running out of time, and so are the packs that are still vulnerable.”I turn to face them fully, my jaw set. “I want to call a meeting.”Nyx straightens slightly in her chair. “Of the alliance packs?”“No,” I shake my head. “Not just the alliance packs. I want every werewolf pack invited. Alliance or not. And I want every Lycan pack here, as well.”Ronan’s brows lift slightly, but he doesn’t object. “That’ll be a full house.”“Good,” I say. “They need to hear what we know. They need to see how serious this is. Someone is

    Jensen's Point of ViewThe afternoon sun filters in through the tall windows of my office, casting golden light across my desk. Dust motes dance lazily in the warm beams, and the room feels almost too quiet. The soft sound of my pen scratching across the corner of a report is the only thing breaking the silence, until I stop, leaning back in my chair with a slow exhale.These last few days with Rosalee have been nothing short of bliss. Every time I wake and I feel her curled into my side, every smile she offers me across the breakfast table, every time she laughs, my gosh, that laugh, it grounds me in a way nothing else ever has. I’ve never felt so whole. So at peace.But that peace can’t hold forever.My eyes drop back to the report sitting in front of me. The words blur for a moment as I rub a hand across my jaw, pushing away the sinking feeling in my chest. Another attack. Another werewolf pack hit, this time further north, but still too close for comfort.Lycans again.No scent ma

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Chapter 162

    Rosalee's Point of ViewThe ceremony is over, but the magic lingers in the air like a soft hum beneath my skin. Jensen’s hand is still wrapped around mine as we walk back down the aisle, surrounded by the cheers and howls of our pack members and allies. My cheeks ache from smiling so much, but I can’t stop. I don’t want to.The lakeside glows in the warm, golden light of early evening. The twinkling lights strung between the trees sway gently in the breeze. Tables draped in soft off white linens are scattered across the grass, decorated with blush pink and dusty blue florals that match the quiet colors of the lake. Everything feels dreamlike. Perfect.We begin moving from group to group, and every time someone greets me with a warm smile or a congratulations, it takes me a second to remember that they’re speaking to me, not just as Rosalee, but as Luna now.“Congratulations, Luna,” Alpha Elias says with a deep nod of his head, his mate standing beside him. “You make a striking pair.”

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Chapter 161

    Rosalee's Point of ViewSunlight pours in through the window in soft, golden waves, dancing across the bedroom walls like it knows today is meant to be beautiful. Everything feels a little magical, a little more vibrant, like the whole world knows it's my wedding day.Piper hums quietly as she stands behind me, carefully pinning soft curls into place. Her swollen belly brushes gently against the back of my chair every so often, and she just chuckles and mutters apologies under her breath. I smile. I wouldn't want anyone else helping me get ready.The room smells faintly of roses and fresh air drifting in from the open window. I can hear the distant rustle of the wind through the trees near the lake. The sound soothes me, even as my heart flutters with nerves and excitement."You're glowing," Piper says, stepping back to admire her work.I meet my own eyes in the mirror, hardly recognizing myself. My hair is swept back in loose, romantic curls, with a few strands falling around my face

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Chapter 160

    Jensen's Point of ViewThe afternoon sun filters through the blinds of my office, casting slanted shadows across the hardwood floor and the stacks of papers on my desk. I sit back in my chair, the leather creaking under the shift of my weight as I flip through the latest report in my hands, one of several that have taken up most of my desk this week.It’s been a few days since the last attack on the werewolf packs. The silence since has been unsettling, the kind that doesn’t bring peace but tension, like the eye of a storm. I had hoped the lull might mean things were calming down, but deep down, I know better.I set one report down and pick up the next. Both are from our trackers, seasoned, reliable wolves I trust with my life. They spent days embedded within the two packs that were attacked, following every broken branch, every scent trail, every fragment of evidence. But their conclusions are identical.The Lycans were rogues.No pack scent.No identifiable affiliations.Just shadow
