Emily’s POV

My breath hitched. I didn’t know I had Malric’s scent on me. It must’ve lingered from our close proximity since yesterday.

The broad man’s eyes swept over me. “Who are you to the king?”

My heart slammed against my ribs. The answer could save me…or doom me.

My mind raced for the right answer, but his glowing eyes left no time to think. “I’m his maid,” I blurted.

The two other rogues exchanged nervous glances. One of them stepped forward immediately. “Viper, a word.”

  • The Lycan King's Luna Healer    My Simple Wish

    Sharina’s POVAn uneasy silence settled over the camp as everyone looked between the King and me.Even the wolves who had been celebrating moments ago had gone quiet.I stared into his steel-grey eyes, my thoughts racing as I weighed my options carefully.My chances of getting out of the mess Scarlett had left me in were very slim, so I focused on the one thing I had always wanted and had gone too far to lose.The title of Luna Queen.“The mating ceremony tomorrow must take place,” I finally said.For a heartbeat, nobody reacted.A wave of murmurs spread through the crowd, and I could almost guess what they were thinking.Why would she waste such a rare opportunity on something that was already guaranteed?Fools.They wouldn't understand.Being their queen was no longer guaranteed. Not with everything happening now.So I had to secure it properly.Once I became Queen, nobody could simply cast me aside. A Luna Queen carried authority of her own. Even a king could not erase that overnig

  • The Lycan King's Luna Healer    A Bound Wish

    Malric’s POV The moment I ended the mindlink, I turned to Theodore.“Follow me.”He obeyed without question.I mindlinked the guards outside Sharina's tent, ordering them not to allow anyone in or out until I said otherwise.When I returned to where Scarlett’s body lay, most of my suspicion toward Sharina had already begun to shift, but not enough to dismiss her completely.“She's from a traitor's bloodline,” Robert said, pointing to a mark on Scarlett's upper thigh.I stepped closer and examined it.The symbol meant nothing to me.“What do you mean?”Robert removed his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose.“This happened before you were born, My King.”Then he told me the story.Years ago, a mated couple had plotted treason against the throne. They were discovered before their plan could succeed. Rather than execute them immediately, my father had shown mercy and exiled them instead.Unfortunately, they took his mercy for weakness.Not long after, they attempted a coup.That wa

  • The Lycan King's Luna Healer    No One Is Innocent

    Malric’s POV I led Emily away from that tent to stop her from seeing the maid's dead body like that.She was already shivering.I took her to my tent and comforted her until she felt better. We would talk about our child later, but right now, I needed to deal with Sharina first.“We'll be leaving for the palace soon,” I said, standing up. “So get ready. I need to attend to something.”I pressed a kiss to her forehead and stepped out.The moment the tent flap fell behind me, whatever softness Emily brought out of me disappeared.Rage returned. The kind that demanded answers.Sharina’s tent was the first place I stopped.The guards Lucien had placed outside straightened immediately when they saw me approaching.I didn’t remember to ask if she was decent before barging in. She wasn't, but I didn’t care. She seemed not to care either, apparently hoping her half-nakedness would be enough to stop my wrath.I yanked the sheet from the bed and threw it over her, my body looming over hers as

  • The Lycan King's Luna Healer    Lunar Bug Toxin

    Emily’s POV The room seemed to tilt slightly around me.Only hours ago Scarlett had been talking endlessly beside me during the hunt. Asking questions I didn't want to answer.Now she was lying here like nothing remained of her but an empty shell.My throat tightened painfully."Is she the maid you mentioned?" Malric asked. His voice sounded distant.I found it difficult to answer.Tears blurred my vision.Eventually, I managed a small nod."Yes. Scarlett."The word barely came out.A muscle ticked in Malric's jaw. Then immediately, he crossed the distance between us."No," he said quietly. His hand settled against my shoulder. "She's not worth your tears."The firmness in his voice grounded me a bit.I nodded, as I buried my face in his chest.“You’re leaving here.” he said, already guiding me away from the bed.I let him.Because if I stayed any longer, I wouldn’t be able to breathe properly looking at Scarlett’s lifeless body.Just before we reached the entrance, he stopped abrupt

  • The Lycan King's Luna Healer    She Was Already Gone

    Emily’s POV. Irene stood there. Her big round eyes were locked on me, glistening like she had been holding something back for too long and it finally cracked the moment she saw me. For a second she didn’t speak. She just stared at me like she was trying to convince herself I was actually real and not something her mind had made up out of fear. “What?” I asked, sitting up slowly, confused more than anything. I didn’t get a chance to adjust properly. A sharp sting hit my shoulder. I frowned reflexively. Then I realised she had slapped me there. Before I could even process why, she crashed into me, wrapping her arms around me like she was afraid I would disappear again if she let go. And just like that, she started crying. Not quiet crying either. The kind that came out uneven, messy, like she had been holding it in for hours and it finally broke. “How dare you think of leaving me alone?” she said, voice shaking as she clung tighter. “I was scared… I heard the rumours you were d

  • The Lycan King's Luna Healer    I Should Have Been More Careful

    Emily’s POV I knew the priestess disliked me. That much had never been hidden. But hearing her call my innocent child a bastard? That was the height of it. My hand moved instinctively toward my stomach. Oddly… anger wasn’t what settled inside me. Resolve did. Long lasting resolve. I made up my mind silently. I was leaving the castle for good. And this time around, I meant it. My child would not grow up inside an environment where his existence would be debated, resented or treated like a mistake waiting to be corrected. Once we returned back to the palace, I would start planning how to leave. Not even Malric would know. And the thought hurt more than I wanted to admit. Because he had defended me, he defended our child. Fiercely and without hesitation. But how long would this continue? How long would I remain the center of conflict between him and the priestess? This wasn't just personal anymore. This was the kingdom. Duty. Politics. Power. And now… a child. I refu

    Emily's POV “I’m sorry about this, Emily,” she said, worry threading through her voice.I inhaled slowly, forcing myself to compose my expression before turning to her. “It’s not a big deal,” I said, offering a smile…if it could be called one.Of course, even someone her age knew it wasn't real. S

    Emily's POV What in the moon’s name…was that?There were reddish veins bulging around her eyes, like lightning streaking across her skin. Her eyes… the pupils had vanished, leaving only white.My stomach dropped.Almost immediately, her face returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.“Emily.”

    Sharina’s POV(A day before)After leaving Malric’s office, I went straight to my room, kicking off my heels the moment the door shut behind me.“That wolfless. Defective. Useless, cursed mutt!” I spat, flinging each piece of clothing from the heap I had piled on my bed across the room.I had laid
