The Rejected Lycan Queen

CHAPTER 1 - The SlapI punched Cassiel in the face. He doesn’t fight back, just let me do it. I punch him harder, sinking my fist into his cheek.“What happened to us?” I whisper, my eyes lowering.“I’m not an expert at this but I'm sure that’s not the proper way to knead a dough,” Liora says as she comes to stand by my side.I gave the dough which I had been imagining as Cassiel, one last punch. “I know, just imagining it was your brother.”Yeah it’s only in my imagination that I, Elaris, the lowest ranking Omega, can punish the Alpha’s son.Liora snorts, picks an apple from the nearby bowl and takes a bite. She pulls out a nearby stool and sits beside me at the kitchen counter.The other Omegas in the kitchen carry on with their work, ignoring the two of us. We couldn’t afford to slack off, because the Bonding moon will take place today. An event which happens every five years at midnight.It’s the only time when wolves who are over eighteen are drawn to their fated partner.“He’s c

CHAPTER 3 - I REJECTED HIM I let out a breath and forced myself to relax. When I turn back, there’s a fake smile plastered on my face. Soon enough I’m standing in front of Cassiel, Melody, Michael and our delta’s son; Cody. Michael grins at me. “In the two years that we left, you have already grown much taller.” Cody adds quietly, “Taller than we expected.” Michael shoots him a quick look. Cody shrugs. “What? You brought it up.” “It’s fine,” I say, and truly it was. Even I was surprised at the way I had grown, as an Omega with no wolf. It would have been expected that I won't reach the height of an average werewolf. But I had grown much taller, much taller than the Alpha’s daughter which added to my list of abnormalities. Michael’s eyes narrow on my still reddened cheek. “What happened to your face?” Your dad did, but I don’t say that instead I place the tray forward. “Cookies?” I try not to look in Cassiel’s direction even though I can feel his gaze burning through the

CHAPTER 5 - THE BLIGHT Three years later Cassiel’s pov That sharp pain An Alpha feels when a mind link snaps, when the end of the link connected to pack member goes silent is heart wrenching. In the literal sense. This happens either when a wolf had gone rogue or had lost their life. The latter is the case here. Another sharp pain comes. Another link going silent. Another wolf under my care, gone. My hand tightens around the biro in my hand, my eyes staring blankly at the death reports on my desk. I have failed them. A knock comes on my door. “Come in.” My friend and beta, Michael walks in, his face grim. He slumps into the chair before my desk. “Any news from Cody?” “Not yet,” I reply, a cough coming up to my throat but I force it down. If the pack finds out the blight is also crawling through their Alpha’s system, the whole place will be in chaos. They can't afford to know. Enemies can't either. Michael drags his palm down his face.“It’s been two days. What’s keeping

CHAPTER 7 - PROVOKED HERCASSIELMate! My wolf howls joyfully within me.As usual I find myself being drawn to her. Even before we became mates, it had always been that way, her drawing me in, in ways I can't explain. I find myself falling hopelessly all over again.It felt like years ago, when her dad had been exiled and she was brought before us by the head warrior. She had peaked at me from behind the warrior legs. Big brown eyes filled with tears and at that moment, I knew I would do anything to protect her.How did I bring myself to let you go in the first place?I didn't realize I was moving towards Elaris until I had growling Lycans suddenly blocking my part.“My betrothed is beautiful no doubt,” Malik says. “But it’s best if you stay in your lane.”My eyes snap towards him. Betrothed? “What are you talking about?”My attention shifts back to my mate. He’s talking nonsense isn't he? “Elaris?”Those bright brown eyes snare me in, and I find myself drowning in them but she breaks

CHAPTER 9 - NO ELARIS The Lycan territory is large and it houses almost all the Lycans in this part of the country. Malrik's great grandfather had given the surviving Lycans refuge right here on this land, after the great war that raged years ago when the Lycans fought against the werewolf and witches. It has been passed down his generations and now handed over to Malik to rule; the one who hadn't hesitated to give me refuge three years ago. He gave me shelter, kindness, respect by finding me worthy to rule this territory with him. Trained me until I wasn't a helpless Omega to a Lycan who can stand her own ground. But I've been struggling to reciprocate one thing, his love for me. I’ve been denying that Cassiel is the main cause of it. Maybe I just need time to heal, I told myself but that touch earlier had ignited the fragile piece of thread that still binds us together. When I had left the pack, my Lycan had given control back to me. I slid to the ground and howled and wee
