Dom’s POV

“How much longer before we get there!” My patience was waning thin. We’ve been driving for hours already and this car was too small for my huge frame.

We were supposed to be there hours ago but thanks to Benji, he managed to get us completely lost. I told him to just use the damn GPS, but this moron swore by the Moon Goddess that he could read a fucking map.

‘Why did you choose this dip shit to ride with?’ Amos growled.

‘He was the more discreet option! If anyone recognized Cyrus, then it would have given away my identity!’ I grumbled back.

We were supposed to be visiting the Silver Moon Pack to get a better feel of who we were forming an alliance with. With the war between the witches, we needed trustworthy allies. The last thing I needed was to join forces with a power hungry pack leader with an inferiority complex.

I am responsible for all Lycan’s. I am their king. I had no room for error. If I trusted the wrong person, that could cripple my people. Our numbers weren’t very big thanks to the last war with the witches.

That last attack came from out of nowhere. We were hit while we were celebrating a sacred holiday. I lost a lot of great warriors that day. The pack was still recovering from it. It was crucial that any alliance I made moving forward was concrete.

Alpha Cane had his beta reach out requesting an audience with me. I figured it would be better if I checked the pack out myself before I accepted his request. I wouldn’t know if it was a good alliance based off of that meeting alone. I needed to visit their pack. Get a feel of who they were before they had time to adjust their behaviors based off of me.

“Um, we should be here now, your majesty. The map is showing we should be here now.” Benji’s voice pulled me from my thoughts.

I looked at the back of his head with annoyance.

“You better be fucking right!” I growled.

I looked out the window, half expecting to see something. Anything. But there was nothing here. My eyes darkened as Amos brewed to the surface.

“What the fuck, Benji! There’s nothing here!” My patience had officially expired and I needed to get out of this piece of shit car before Amos ripped right through it.

I exited the car, slamming the door. Amos was angry and needed to run. He hated small spaces just as much as I did. I walked towards the trees and pulled my clothes off. I couldn’t afford to ruin them. I didn’t entend on shifting and didn’t pack another set.

Amos was huge. I was rather large myself being 6’4 but my lycan stood close to 8 feet tall. I felt quite proud of that. He’s the largest lycan in documented history. Even larger than my father’s lycan who stood at 7’6 feet.

I sat back and allowed Amos to take control. The feeling of letting your beast take the lead was freeing, well, after you got used to the pain of shifting. I relaxed as he swing from tree to tree, shaking any small animals from their resting places in his path. He jumped down and readied himself to run when the most beautiful scent caressed our nostrils.

It was faint, but the warm smell of amber and vanilla flooded our airways making it impossible to ignore.

‘Could this be?’ I asked as Amos moved towards the smell. The closer he moved, the stronger the scent became.

There was not doubt about it. This was our “Mate.” We both spoke in unison. Amos looked around frantically. We were unable to locate them.

‘Mate!’ Amos growled as he frantically ran around in what appeared to be circles. The scent was everywhere and yet we couldn’t find anyone.

‘How is that possible?’ I asked.

‘She’s close I know it, but where?’ Amos spoke.

Our mate’s scent was strongest around this old oak tree. Amos climbed it in hopes of finding our mate, but was at a loss when there was no one.

‘Wait! The ground!’ Amos immediately stuck his nose to the soil.

‘She’s buried!’ I barked.

With quick claws, Amos dug away the ground. He halted as the scent of iron mangled with our mates scent and for the first time in my life, I felt fear.

‘Stop! Let me! You might hurt her more!’ I ordered and he immediately gave me back control.

With desperate hands, I scraped the dirt away until I finally reached what felt like a hard surface. I dug and dug until I finally could see what it was. The tree’s roots were formed into some kind of egg. It appeared to be protecting whoever was inside. I used my strength to pry it apart and to my surprise, it was pretty easy.

My breath caught as I looked down at the woman who was lying inside. She was absolutely breath taking. A sleeping beauty. Her long chocolate colored hair spread around her. Her eye lids were dressed with thick, long lashes and her nose was the cutest little button. Her facial features were something out of a magazine and her lips were full and plump.

‘The Moon Goddess favors us! She’s beautiful’ Amos spoke proudly.

‘Yes, but she’s human.’

‘Doesn’t matter, she’s ours’

I examined her further. Rage filled my chest once my eyes gravitated towards her side. She was bleeding badly. Panic filled my veins once my ears picked up on how shallow her breathing was and her low heart rate.

‘We need to get back to the car, now!’ I barked and without hesitation, Amos took over. He gently cradled her to his chest in one arm as he swung from tree to tree with his other. Benji was standing outside of the car scratching his head looking confused when we reached him.

“Your majesty, I must have-“ he stopped talking mid sentence when he noticed I was completely naked holding onto a what seemed to be lifeless woman.

“We need to get back to the castle, now!” I order as I gently put her inside of the back seat and climbed in after her.

Benji looked on puzzled.

“Now!” I yelled, snapping him back to his senses.

Thankfully, he didn’t argue this time and used the fucking GPS. After a thirty minute car ride, we made our way back to the castle. I didn’t give a shit I was completely naked as I carried her through the castle’s doors. I immediately called for Hannah. She was the packs doctor.

‘Quickly, to the infirmary!” She barked and ran ahead of me.

I followed after, ignoring Cyrus’s offer to take her while I got dressed. There was no way in hell I was letting her go right now. It had taken me so long to find my mate, and to have found her in a state like this, I couldn’t leave her side.

Once I reached the infirmary, Hannah had the bed ready for her and motioned for me to put her down. Gently, I placed her on her back, and Hannah immediately got to work.

“I’m gonna need space, my king.” Hannah looked up at me with concern.

Amos was pacing back and forth in my head. I stepped back, allowing her the space. When she turned to me again, she looked to me with cautious eyes.

“My king, this may take a minute. Why don’t you get dressed and come back?” I heard her words but all I could do was look at my mate.

“Your majesty.” Cyrus rested his hand on my shoulder.

Nodding, I left the infirmary.

  • The Lycan King’s Witch: Beneath the Crimson Moon   Chapter 98

    Willow’s POVI half expected someone to come out of their home and stop this but no one did. It was like no one heard what was going on. Desperate now, I gave up on shooting daggers but instead gathered any liquid around me including the potion and flung it at him in every direction. Luckily this time, I managed to get him. He crashed to the ground almost immediately. Now panting and in pain I slowly backed away from him in the direction of the castle. I was hoping that the potion would work for longer, but it isn’t. He slowly started moving again and I knew that if I didn’t get some distance between us, this would be the end of me. I turned and managed to run. I kept running until I smacked into something. Someone. My senses immediately reacted an I knew right then and there that I ran into exactly who I needed to. My eyes connected with his dark ambers ones. “Help.” A whisper was all I could manage before I buried my face into him. I knew that he would protect me, kee

  • The Lycan King’s Witch: Beneath the Crimson Moon   Chapter 97

    Cyrus’s POV “Got that name.” I said as I approached both him and the Luna. “It’s Darius. And he’s planning to stay in the kingdom for a while.” The silence that followed pressed heavy against my chest. I could feel how Dom’s power coiled in the room like a storm ready to break, but he kept his voice leveled and cool. “Men who choose their audience are men with purpose. And purpose without allegiance is a threat.” Xio and I both agreed with his words. “What would you have me do?” Dom’s answer came without pause. “Shadow him. We have enough going on already. The last thing we need is an uninvited rogue roaming about causing more chaos.” “That I can do.” I reassured. His jaw tightened, and I felt the sharp edge of his thoughts through the bond. “Darius believes he has earned my attention,” he said, his tone low, dangerous. “Let him think it. Let him believe he is weaving his way into my court. And when he shows his hand, I will cut it off.” I gave a single nod

    Cyrus’s POV He finally glanced at me from the water. His eyes glinted, dark and unreadable, as a slow smile touched his mouth. “Why would I want to be found?” He asked as he rose to his feet. “Because I like you, Beta. You’re being wasted following behind him like a shadow.” ‘The ego on this asshole.’ Xio growled. “Careful,” I warned. “Your flattery is sounding a lot like disrespect.” He chuckled, low and unbothered. “Believe me, beta, if I meant disrespect, you’d know.” He said, it was a poor attempt to intimidate me. ‘Fuck this guy!’ Xio snarled at the man’s arrogance. “Overestimating yourself, I see.” I retorted, uninterested in whatever game he was trying to play. He had another thing coming if the believed he could pin me against Dom. Dom was my king first, and brother second. Although we weren’t related by blood, our Lycans have always been a pare. Linked the moment they appeared. I had always knew I was Dom’s beta, even as small children. And when I ha

    Dom’s PovIt was something about this guy felt off. “How did you know I was looking for rogues? I didn’t summon you.” The strangers lips curve up into a smile that never reached his eyes. “Does that really matter? They’re yours now.” Growls sounded from the rogues, but they quickly became silent once I looked their way. I turned to Ana, gently urging her to take a seat on the throne while I got everything sorted. “What is your name?” I asked. The man’s lips curved again, as if I said something amusing. ‘Let’s just kill him now!’ Amos snarled with anger. ‘We can’t do that yet.’ “It’s unimportant to you, Lycan king. What matters is that I delivered your bounty.” “Are you expecting a reward?” I asked, slightly amused by his misplaced arrogance. He looked down at his watch as if I was boring him. What an asshole. “I don’t need anything from you. Do whatever you want with them. My part is done.” Before I could respond, he turned sharply and headed out the do

  • The Lycan King’s Witch: Beneath the Crimson Moon   Chapter 94

    Anastasia’s POV I wanted to deny everything, but part of me knew she wasn’t lying. That the way that my magic simmered under my skin when I was angry, or the way even now, I could tell you exactly how every coven member was feeling. I couldn’t understand why the moon goddess would give me such a status. Could it be that she always knew I would use my magic to hurt all of those people? Was this some new way to punish me? Surely it couldn’t be a blessing. She said that my blood was the key.did that mean I had something to do with this prophecy? I could feel Dom tense beside me, it was like I could feel his anxiety getting the better of him. And that terrified me more than anything the seer had said. I grabbed hold of his hand, hinting that we leave. The dungeon doors slammed shut behind us, causing me to jump slightly. Dom walked ahead of me, silent. He was putting a wall up, I could tell. With every stride, I could feel that wall climbing higher. I hated that wall. “Dom
