The Lycan Queen's Ruthless Beta Chapter 25 — Trouble in Heels
EvelynThe first thing I heard that morning was arguing — not the kind that came from the council chamber, but something louder, sharper, entirely unfamiliar. I walked into the palace courtyard with Garret beside me and found a woman standing in front of one of the guards, pointing furiously at a suitcase."That is *not* how you handle someone's clothes."The guard looked thoroughly lost. "I didn't touch your clothes, Doctor.""You moved my suitcase.""It was blocking the entrance.""It was blocking the entrance because I was trying to *enter* it."Garret stopped dead beside me. "Do you know her?" I asked.He closed his eyes like he was praying for patience. "Unfortunately."The woman turned at the sound of his voice, and her whole expression lit up. "Garret!" She abandoned the guard mid-argument and marched straight for us, and Garret barely had time to brace before she smacked his arm."You got married without me?""Good morning to you too," he said, rubbing the spot."I missed your
The Lycan Queen's Ruthless Beta Chapter 24 — The First Council
EvelynThe council chamber was already loud by the time Garret and I reached the doors. I could hear the shouting through solid wood."You can't keep ignoring the problem!""And you can't start a war every time someone refuses a treaty!""It's not a treaty. It's a direct challenge!""Enough." My father's voice cut through the rest, and the noise dropped, though not all the way.Garret glanced at me. "You said they weren't that bad.""I may have lied.""You absolutely lied.""You'll survive.""That's what people say right before throwing someone onto a battlefield."I took his hand. "They're going to question you.""I expected that.""They may be rude about it.""Definitely expected that too.""And if someone insults you outright?"He looked over at me, almost amused. "Should I insult them back?""No.""Pity."I squeezed his hand. "Just don't let them push you into saying something you'll regret."He looked at the doors for a long moment. "Evelyn. I've spent six years negotiating with

LucaI read the scroll twice. Then a third time. The handwriting was unmistakably Austin's, and there wasn't much written on it — which somehow made it worse.*You wanted to know what happens when people stop believing the crown has the right to decide everything. Now you have your answer. Do not rush. People who speak when they are drunk are easy to notice. People who speak when they are sober are the ones you should remember. Find out who believes in you. Do not ask them to choose you. Let them tell you why they already have.*I lowered the scroll. Angelina was watching me from across the room."What did he say?""Nothing important."Her eyebrows lifted. "That was a very long scroll for something unimportant."I folded it away. "He wants me to be careful.""About?""People."She smiled faintly. "That sounds like Austin." She hadn't meant anything by it, but I couldn't stop thinking about how easily he'd understood exactly what was happening here. He hadn't asked me to rebel. He hadn

LucaMy head was pounding. I opened one eye and immediately closed it again."Alive?"Angelina's voice came from somewhere beside me."Barely."She laughed. I dragged the blanket over my face."Go away.""Good morning to you too.""I don't remember inviting you.""You married me.""That sounds like something I would regret."She pulled the blanket away. I squinted at her. She was already dressed, standing beside the bed with her arms crossed, and somehow looked like she'd slept twelve peaceful hours instead of surviving the same night I had."You look disgustingly cheerful.""And you look disgusting."I stared at her. She smiled innocently."You smell like wine.""I was drinking.""I noticed.""You were drinking too.""I had two glasses.""Three.""Two.""Three."She narrowed her eyes."You were counting?""I remember everything.""Then you should remember falling into the fountain."I sat up."I did not fall.""You walked into it.""There is a difference.""A very small one."I grabb

AustinThe gates opened before I even reached them.I rode through the familiar streets of my kingdom, barely acknowledging the guards who bowed as I passed. I had been gone long enough for things to pile up, and I already knew I would have a stack of reports waiting for me.But there was one person I expected to see before any of that.Swayer.He was standing outside the palace when I arrived, dressed in his usual black uniform, his expression as unreadable as ever.I climbed down from my horse."Welcome back, Your Majesty.""Tell me everything."Swayer fell into step beside me as we entered the palace."Nothing major happened while you were gone. The northern packs settled their territory dispute. The western pack requested more guards along their border, and the council has been asking when you're returning.""Of course they have.""There was also a minor disagreement between two elders regarding the trade routes.""Handle it.""I already did."I glanced at him."You always make my
The Lycan Queen's Ruthless Beta Chapter 20 : Our First Night
I felt it first—the slow, inevitable rekindling of heat low in my belly. The bond hummed, restless. Satisfied, but nowhere near finished. Garret’s breathing changed against my skin. I felt the shift in him through the bond: the way his body was already responding again, the deep, instinctive need that came with a fresh mating. One time was never going to be enough. Not for us. Not tonight.His hand slid down my side, slow and possessive. When he lifted his head, his eyes were darker than before, the gold of his Lycan nature flickering at the edges.“We’re not done,” he said, voice rough with certainty.I didn’t answer with words. I pulled him back down and kissed him, open and hungry. A low, approving growl rumbled in his chest.Instead of rolling me on top of him right away, he kissed a path down my throat, over the still-sensitive mark, between my breasts, lower. His mouth trailed hot and open across my stomach. I felt the deliberate drag of his tongue just above the place where I w
