Emily’s POV

He removed his glasses, placing them carefully in their case, and studied me with a thoughtful expression. “Your rib… it’s completely healed.”

I blinked, stunned. It was only now I realized the sharp pain I’d felt earlier was gone. Hesitantly, I pressed the spot again. Nothing.

I stared at him, searching for an explanation, but he shook his head. “Lycans do generate extra heat, yes, but even so, a wound like this shouldn’t heal in less than twenty-four hours… unless…” He trailed of

  • The Lycan King's Luna Healer    The King’s Approval

    Emily’s POV After Lucien left, I walked over to Irene and we headed off together.She still looked shaken, though I kept reassuring her that everything would be fine.Lucien would look into it, just like he said he would.And… I had noticed the strange way he looked at her now.It wasn’t obvious. Just subtle enough to make me wonder.Although, I couldn’t tell what was going on inside his head… whether he actually liked Irene or not.That Lycan prince was impossible to read.Irene and I talked for a while longer since she had already finished her duties for the day.As for me… the butler still refused to let me lift a finger because of Malric’s ridiculous instructions.After talking and fooling around a little more, Irene suddenly remembered Lucien’s handkerchief.She insisted she had to return it before he got angry and lashed out at her.I laughed at the way she said it.I still didn’t completely understand why Irene feared Lucien that much.Then again…Maybe I did.When you’re secr

  • The Lycan King's Luna Healer    A Way Into the Forest

    Emily’s POV I could visibly see the shock on Irene’s face as Lucien suddenly walked in on us.Honestly, I understood her situation more than anyone.I had been there too.Sharina had once used my mark against me, making me believe it was cursed.And now it irritated me even more knowing she carried the exact same mark herself… yet still weaponized mine against me.If anything, I felt worse for Malric.He was about to bond himself to a woman like her.Even though I had been trying to accept the circumstances forcing Malric into that bond, my chest still tightened when I heard their mating ceremony was only a few days away.I didn’t want to dwell on it too much.But if the emotional turmoil became unbearable, I would have to speak to him about letting me leave the palace.“Is it about why I saw you crying yesterday?”Lucien’s voice cut through my thoughts instantly.His gaze was fixed on Irene.“Y-yes… I… I…”Irene stuttered helplessly under the pressure, panic visibly overtaking her.

  • The Lycan King's Luna Healer    Tell Me What?

    Irene’s POV My mind ran endlessly throughout the night until daybreak.And even then, I still couldn’t decide which death was easier—obeying Sharina… or telling the Lycan Prince the truth.So throughout the day, I avoided both of them.I couldn’t even tell my mother about this new complication. At this rate, I’d end up giving her high blood pressure.Somehow, I had to find a way through both disasters.As I carried on with my normal duties around the palace, whispers spread that the King and Sharina’s mating ceremony would happen in a few days.My chest tightened.That manipulator didn't deserve to be the queen. And every time I heard about it again, guilt twisted painfully inside me.I knew the truth.Yet I was still doing nothing.I was about to abandon another friend.Emily.God… I had never felt this mentally scattered and exhausted before.The dark circles under my eyes alone were enough to tell anyone I hadn’t slept all night.My mother didn’t question me much. She already ass

  • The Lycan King's Luna Healer    No Safe Option

    Irene’s POV “Ms Sharina found this hidden in your room.”My stomach dropped.“It’s not what you think…” I said quickly. “I can explain…”Another slap landed before I could finish.My head snapped sideways again.Heat flooded my face as my nose burned painfully.“Mum…”“I’m trying!” her voice cracked suddenly. “I’m trying so hard to keep you alive in this palace, but you keep putting yourself in danger!”“I wasn’t her accomplice,” I whispered desperately.She let out a bitter scoff through her tears.“Who would believe you?” she snapped. “The maid involved is dead. She’s no longer here to defend you or prove your innocence.”My chest tightened painfully.The thing on her phone was a picture of the secret communication book between me and the maid who was dead now.Executed for murdering a guard.But the truth was far uglier than what the palace knew.The guard had raped her.Some of the other guards knew too, but none of them helped her.They protected their friend instead.She carrie

  • The Lycan King's Luna Healer    No Coincidence

    Emily’s POV With Sharina temporarily defeated, Irene followed me into my room.“Thank you,” she said quietly as she unpacked my luggage.“I should be the one thanking you instead,” I replied, turning slightly so she could help with the zipper at the back of my dress.“You can stay in my room if you’re not ready to face your mother yet,” I suggested, though I wasn’t even sure if that made sense.I just knew Sharina and her mother would definitely be on her neck for now.Irene exhaled softly as she pulled down the zipper.“I can’t always avoid her. She’s still my mother, you know…”Her voice suddenly trailed off.Her fingers had brushed against my lower back, right where the strange mark was.I stiffened instantly.Then quickly stepped away from her touch and turned to face her.“Is that a tattoo?” she asked, meeting my gaze.My throat tightened.“It’s nothing,” I said too quickly, reaching to pull the zipper back up again.Irene was still staring.“It’s beautiful,” she added.That cau

  • The Lycan King's Luna Healer    The Pattern of the Missing

    Malric’s POV The moment the study doors shut, I turned to Sarah and Lucien immediately.“There’s a problem,” I said.Both of them frowned, waiting for me to continue.“I don’t think the disappearance of pups during Moon Ascendance years ago was a coincidence.”Lucien’s brows pulled together. “Why would you think that? The overcrowding and chaos back then explained most of it.”“And ever since children were banned from attending, the cases reduced drastically,” Sarah added.“So I believed too,” I said calmly. “But now… I think that was exactly what someone wanted us to believe.”“Who?” Sarah’s voice sharpened.“Whoever was behind it.”I rounded the desk but leaned against it instead of sitting.Then I told them everything I had learned about Emily, including the inconsistencies surrounding the months she had gone missing.“Those three months,” I said finally. “Where was she?”Neither of them spoke.“Another similar case happened years ago involving the son of an Alpha family,” I conti

  • The Lycan King's Luna Healer    What Do You Want

    Emily's POV “It’s a surprise.” I gave him a puppy eye look, trying to coax him into spilling the secret, but he wasn't affected. “Fine,” I huffed. “I’ll just go check it myself.” He gave a mocking nod. Then his expression sharpened slightly. “Just got a message. I have to leave now,” he said.

  • The Lycan King's Luna Healer    The Truth

    Malric’s POV Sarah.I ground my teeth together. How dare she? How dare she mention this to Emily? How much did she even reveal?My brow furrowed instinctively as I gazed at Emily. “Let me explain.”She shrugged. “There’s nothing to explain.” Her expression gave nothing away. She continued calmly,

  • The Lycan King's Luna Healer    Keep Your Distance from Her

    Emily’s POV Since Malric wouldn't allow me to do anything today again, I went to the place Lucien took me to yesterday to unwind and refresh my soul.I’d seen him and told him I would come here again. I liked the fact that there was no disturbance and I could think properly.“Emily,” I heard Piper

  • The Lycan King's Luna Healer    A Move on the Board

    Anonymous POV“Damian Stone.” I laughed, letting the name roll off my tongue like a curse.It’s laughable how everyone thinks he’s invincible, that he’s some untouchable king. No. Being a lycan king doesn’t make him a god. He’s just another mortal. And soon… he’ll remember that.If I’d poisoned him
