Aria POV

Time really did slip through my fingers.

One moment I was fighting shadow-creatures and learning how not to get flattened before striking back—and the next, the sun was already leaning low, my body humming with that deep, aching exhaustion that meant I’d actually worked.

“Okay,” Liam announced dramatically as we walked through the corridor, hands behind his head, “I just want it on record that if you keep training like this, I’m retiring early.”

Ava scoffed. “Please. You’d cry for one day and come crawling back.”

“I would not cry,” he protested. “I’d dramatically reflect.”

Emma leaned closer to me, voice bright. “You did amazing today, Luna Aria. Like—really amazing. I’d actually love to spar with you someday.”

I blinked. “You would?”

“And please call me just Aria, that’s fine.” I replied.

“Absolutely, ok I will ” she said, grinning. “No offense, but I’d like to see if you’re as scary up close.”

I laughed. “Sounds good. Someday.”

“See?” Liam pointed at Emma. “She’s already co

  • The Royal Mate Of The Cursed Lycan King   The curse

    Aria POVI remained seated beside Raiden, unmoving, as if the slightest shift might wake something fragile—or break something precious. My fingers traced slow, absent patterns along his arm, up to his shoulder, then higher until my hand rested against his cheek.He is strong.I know he is.Whatever is wrong with him… he will survive it.You’re lying to yourself, Kaida said quietly in my head. You’re saying that because you’re scared.I swallowed.She wasn’t wrong.Still, I refused to sit there and fall apart. Crying wouldn’t help him. Panicking wouldn’t either. So I inhaled slowly, forcing calm into my lungs, and leaned closer.Up close, Raiden looked unreal.His sharp jawline was relaxed in sleep, his lashes dark against his skin. His lips—gods, his lips—were slightly parted, soft despite the power I knew they held. Everything about his face was unfairly perfect, like the moon itself had taken its time sculpting him.My hand drifted into his hair, fingers sliding through the silk-dar

  • The Royal Mate Of The Cursed Lycan King   Breath and bone

    Aria POVI blinked rapidly, my mind lagging behind my body.For a few heartbeats, I didn’t move. Didn’t breathe.Did… did Raiden just pass out on top of me?“R–Raiden?” My voice came out thin, unsure, like if I spoke too loudly I might shatter something fragile.Nothing.My heart skipped violently.“Raiden?” I tried again, louder this time, my hands coming up to tap his back. Once. Twice. Harder. “Raiden—!”No response.Cold fear slammed into my chest so fast it stole my breath.I shoved against him with all the strength panic could give me, rolling his heavy body off mine and onto the other side of the bed. He landed on his back, completely limp.Unconscious.“Oh my—oh my God.” I gasped, both hands flying to my mouth as I stared down at him.He wasn’t moving.My vision blurred instantly. Tears spilled before I could stop them, hot and useless, as my thoughts spiraled into chaos.What do I do? What do I do?Then Kaida’s voice cracked through my panic, sharp and furious in my head.Don

  • The Royal Mate Of The Cursed Lycan King   His curse, his pain.

    Aria POVI closed the door softly behind me and turned around—slowly, deliberately, like I wasn’t walking straight into temptation.Raiden sat in the middle of my bed.Relaxed. Broad shoulders loose. One arm braced behind him, the other resting on his thigh. His gaze was already on me, dark and unblinking, as if he’d been waiting the entire time just to watch me turn.My lips parted without my permission.Moon goddess… was I owing him something?“Are you planning to spend the night by the door?” he asked calmly, his voice cutting through the silence like a blade wrapped in silk.I swallowed and forced a small laugh, folding my arms loosely. “I doubt you’d allow that.”A corner of his mouth lifted.He stood.And suddenly the room felt smaller.“I don’t recall saying you couldn’t come closer,” he replied, taking a slow step toward me—unhurried, confident. His eyes never left mine.I shifted my weight, suddenly very aware of how thin my robe felt against my skin.“Is there… anything I ca

  • The Royal Mate Of The Cursed Lycan King   Threads of fate

    Raiden POVLucian finally left me alone with my thoughts.The discussion we’d had earlier still lingered—reports, patrol routes, supply movements, the usual weight of a kingdom that never truly slept. When he excused himself, I didn’t return to my desk. I needed air. Distance.So I stepped out onto the balcony.From here, the training grounds stretched wide beneath me, alive with movement and sound. Steel clashing lightly. Laughter. The dull thud of bodies hitting dirt. It was a familiar rhythm—one I’d grown up watching, commanding, bleeding for.And then there was her.Aria moved across the ground with a focus that made my chest tighten. Not stiff. Not reckless. Just… present. She listened with her whole body now. I could see it in the way she shifted her weight before striking, how she recovered faster from missteps, how she didn’t freeze when challenged.Pride settled deep in my bones.No one could tell me she didn’t belong here.She fit—not because she was my mate, not because fat

  • The Royal Mate Of The Cursed Lycan King   Sparring

    Aria POVI’d been up and active for hours already. My first training session with Elowen was finally done, and I was supposed to be resting—keyword: supposed.And Raiden? Nowhere near me today.The big guy had “pack matters” to deal with alongside Lucian. Whatever that meant. Alpha business, probably. Brooding. Strategizing. Looking intimidating in dark corners.I headed back to the training ground and immediately spotted Ava and Emma waiting for me. Liam was there too—but positioned a little too far off, arms crossed, clearly planning to be nothing more than an audience member for whatever chaos was about to unfold.I slowed my steps, raised a brow, and let a smirk curl my lips.Something was definitely going on.“Ah-ah,” Ava said quickly, lifting her hands like she’d been caught. “Don’t overthink it. It’s nothing serious.”Oh, it was absolutely something serious.“Yes, don’t take her seriously,” Liam added from where he stood, smug as ever.Ava didn’t even hesitate.The water bottle

  • The Royal Mate Of The Cursed Lycan King   The pack unrest

    Raiden POVI rose back over her slowly, deliberately, like I was reclaiming the space between us. My mouth traced a path along her skin—her neck first, where her pulse betrayed her, then her collarbone, lingering there as if I could memorize the shape of her by touch alone. I kissed her everywhere I could reach, slow and possessive, not rushed, not careless. Each kiss was a promise I wasn’t ready to say out loud.Her breath hitched beneath me. I felt it. Felt her.When my mouth finally found her lips, it wasn’t gentle. It was hungry, claiming, the kind of kiss that said you’re mine without ever needing words. She answered instantly, melting into me, hands clutching at my shoulders like she was afraid I’d disappear if she loosened her grip.I pulled back.Just enough.Her eyes flew open, wide and glassy, her lips swollen, parted. She shook her head immediately, almost desperately.“Don’t,” she whispered. “Please… don’t stop.”That look nearly broke me.I smiled—small, restrained, the k
