Two Times Rejected, Now Desired By The Lycan King. Thirty Three
Reader’s POVSeated in his study, Alpha Simone was staring into space as he drummed his fingers against the arm of his chair. After a while, he changed his poise, his fingers pressing against his temples as he tried all he could to remain calm.The news Leon, his beta had brought to him struck him like thunderbolt and since then, he hadn't been in his right frame of mind. If Leon's report was only concerning Aurora being mated to the Lycan King, he wouldn't have any issue. The news that she had been accused of treason and that she had just a week to live had spread round the region. Everyone was talking about it making it difficult for him to get his mind off it.“Why did you leave?" He mumbled, digging his nails into his palm.The story surrounding her disappearance, he didn't believe it a bit. He wanted to find the truth but things were getting even more complicated. Slowly, he shifted his gaze to Leon who was waiting patiently for his next order. “Aurora can't be a traitor. S

Reader's POVLeft with no choice Leon returned home to relay Asher’s message to Alpha Simone who was itching to hear a positive result. Knowing fully well the kind of man Asher was, Alpha Simone had been all over the place waiting anxiously for Leon’s return.And when he eventually did, he hurriedly made his way to his side, an expectant look stamped on his face. “What did he say?" He gulped, his eyes all over the place. Leon hesitated.He wished he wasn't the one breaking the news to Alpha Simone. It made him feel like a failure and more importantly, he was scared of the aftermath of his revelation. Parting his lips to speak, the door creaked open and Emma walked in with Scarlet.They also had been waiting for Leon’s report anxiously so immediately they heard he had returned, they rushed to Alpha Simone's study. “How did it go?" Emma asked, alternating her gaze between Leon and Alpha Simone who was now a shell of himself. Leon's silence and hesitation could mean only one thing

Aurora’s POVThe days seemed to drag on and now finally, I had three days more to prove my innocence. Seventy two hours to prove my innocence, or I would be executed like they all wanted.Everything I could think of doing, I have done but still, the evidence was glaring, countering all of my efforts. After my fallout with Asher the previous week, I had kept to myself, anticipating the day he would finally kill me. Pushing my chair backwards, I slowly pulled myself up, making my way towards the window. Crossing my hands on my chest, I allowed my eyes to roam around the landmass ahead of me, thinking of nothing in particular.Raising my head slowly, my eyes fell on the gray clouds rolling into the horizon as my mind raced with different thoughts but my heart was steady.I refused to give in to fear. Just maybe I missed a point. Maybe if I had taken my first approach, I would have proved my innocence?I continued to brainstorm, hoping I would be able to find an escape route. Just

Asher’s POVThe sound of crackling fire in the fireplace of my study was the only sound that could be heard. Seated behind my table, I was poring over files and documents that were scattered round about, all in a bid to forget about Palmer’s request but it was to no avail. He was going to save Aurora if only I gave him a seat in the council but it was too dangerous. Palmer wasn't someone to operate in the council, he was a crook and in no time, he would show his real colors.He was bold enough to tell me he wanted a seat in the council in exchange for Aurora's life.It could only mean one thing; he has an ulterior motive and to get his hand on it, he had to be a member of the council.Falling back on my seat, I let out a low sigh and as if on a cue, the door creaked open and Silva stepped in. “Postpone the meeting, I can't face anyone today." I mumbled, rubbing my forehead. “Alpha Simone is here.” He announced and immediately, I sat up.For a moment, I thought I had misheard him b

Aurora’s POVAll of a sudden, the lights which went off flickered on and the figure standing right beside the door was no other than Asher.What in heaven's name was he doing here? When the door creaked open, I was expecting assassins to swoon in on me.Pushing his hands into his pockets, he arched his back and for the next few minutes that followed, no one said a word.I wasn't surprised to see him, I was just shocked since I wasn't expecting him to be anywhere around.Clearing my throat, I decided to break the silence as it was getting uncomfortable and annoying. “What are you doing here?” I scoffed, folding my hands across my chest. “I was… scared something bad will happen to you.” He said, his tone dripping with sincerity but I was unfazed.He was feigning; this I was fully convinced of. “You only have three days left…” He wanted to start rambling but I pushed my hand forward, halting him and sending his words down his throat.“And since when did you start to care?” I huffed. I

Reader’s POVWith a deep frown etched on her face, Miller was making her way towards Palmer’s office. When she learnt that he wasn't making any move to send Aurora away like he had promised her the last time they met, she erupted in anger. Palmer had gotten the message she sent for meeting during lunch so he was on his way to meet her when they crossed paths. Without a word, she grabbed his hand, pulling him back into his office and slamming his door shut while he looked on. Cocking his brow, he asked, “What is all this about?" “You were supposed to send her away.” She snarled, her fists clenched and eyes reddened in anger.“We agreed, Palmer. We agreed that this was the perfect time to get rid of her and while you take over her position, I will take my place next to Asher.” Palmer tossed his head to the side, a low wince escaping from his lips."You wanted to have lunch with me. Tell me, what were you planning to tell me then?” When she wouldn't answer, he snapped his fingers,

Aurora’s POVA day left.Tossing my feet from my bed, I lazily made my way towards the window, yawning widely. Last night was a long one and I could finally fall asleep in the early hours of the morning. Though Asher’s tale of my father coming to plead on my behalf sounded like a fairy tale, a part of me wanted to believe it but I couldn't bring myself to do so. My father was no different from stepmom and Scarlet who had sworn to make my life a living hell.Why then did he meet with Asher to plead my innocence? As if it was not enough, he even offered to give half of the pack to him for my life to be spared.Shaking my head sideways, I bit my lower lips.“He is trying to make peace now that I’m the Queen." I huffed, rolling my eyes.“Too bad I have nothing to offer at the end of the day. I’m going to be dead soon." I mouthed. Shifting my gaze towards the door, I watched as the knob was twisted and the next second, Asher had poked his head in.His face which was masked with worry

Aurora’s POVShifting from one foot to the other, I was uneasy. Palmer was still staring, the smirk on his lips getting even more wide but he said nothing. Spreading his hands apart and with a shrug, he said, “You see, I’m loyal." Scrunching his brows and waving his hands in my face, he added, “I don't go back on my words, huh." Rolling my eyes at him, I huffed.“What am I going to give to you in return?" I asked, crossing my hands on my chest with my gaze fixated on him.“I don't need anything for now." He mouthed. “When the time is right, I will make my request and I hope you won't ignore me when I do." Without a word to him, I turned on my heels and then began to head towards the door. I was about to slam the door shut when Miller stepped out, flashing a smile at me which I returned. "Hey,” I didn't respond as I led the way down the hallway. Somehow, there was no officer or anyone in the vicinity to boo me so I took my time making the walk from Palmer’s office back to the Pa

Reader’s POVTossing her cutlery on the table, Scarlet leaned backwards, chewing on her beef angrily.She had just received the most heartbreaking news from one of the maids when she asked why her father hadn't joined them on the table.The maid had informed her that Alpha Simone was expecting Aurora in the pack house that day and so she was livid.Tossing another beef in her mouth, she began to chew on it again, biting her tongue in the process.In anger, she tossed her plate across the table only to start pacing about while Jake and Emma looked on.The moment Jake was informed he had to be somewhere else, he didn't wait to finish his breakfast, he rushed out.Dramas from Scarlet were always draining and so he tried all he could to avoid them.While Scarlet paced the length o

Aurora’s POVStanding behind Asher's study door, I was fiddling with my finger, trying to come up with the perfect words to say to him.Just this morning, a message had come through Mira, informing me my father had requested for my presence.It sounded urgent that I wanted to go see him right away but I couldn't. I didn't want to do anything without speaking to Asher first.Taking a deep breath, I connected my fist to the door. “Come in.” Asher said, his voice deep and commanding as ever.Once again, I exhaled and then pushed open the door, stepping inside and immediately I froze.Miller was there and as if that was not enough, she was standing a little too close to Asher and he wasn't pushing her away either. A strange, sharp feeling stabbed into my chest as a wave of emotion hit me.Jealousy, insecurity? I had no idea. I didn't move further into the room, I just stood there, my heart twisting painfully as I tried to act neutral. "Am I interrupting?" I asked lightly, unable to hi

Aurora’s POVClosing the door gently behind him, he made his way into my room, halting right next to the window, his gaze on me but he said no words. Pulling my legs together, I sat stiffly on the edge of my bed, arms folded across my chest as I stared at the wall like it had offended me. “Aurora.” He called, startling me a bit but I didn't show. “Talk to me.” He pressed on.Instead of responding, I began to sulk, refusing to meet his gaze.Closing the distance between us, he said, “Ignoring me won’t fix whatever’s brewing in that head of yours.”I clenched my jaw at his words, still refusing to meet his eyes.Now crouching in front of me, he lowered himself until he locked eyes with me.“What happened?” He asked, his tone softer than before. “Is it about Miller?”Against my wish, I let out a shaky breath.I hated that he could read me so easily, I hated how exposed it made me feel. It was like he could peel away every layer I tried to wrap around myself.“I’m sorry.” He muttered ,

Reader’s POVIn excitement, Stefan forgot about the purpose of his meeting with Asher so he returned home, beaming with excitement.Suspicious, Miller couldn't help but ask the reason for his mood and when he did tell her, she was all over the moon with excitement. She could barely sit still as her father's words replayed in her ears. “The moon goddess is definitely on our side. Just when it seems I wouldn't be able to have Asher to myself, another opportunity pops up." Miller exclaimed while her father looked on, beaming with a smile. “You can say that again but still… I'm a bit skeptical.” He muttered, hands crossed on his chest. Pulling close to her father, Miller leaned forward, her hands grabbing the edge of her seat. "Why? Did he say something else?” She asked, her gaze fixated on him."Not really but… he acted like the idea didn't sit well with him. Soon, he is going to find a replacement for you, I could see it in his eyes and the way he acted."For a moment, Miller didn'

Asher’s POVThe meeting with three Alphas from the Western area was taking more time than intended. According to plan, it was supposed to wrap up after two hours but it seemed that wasn't going to happen. Drumming my fingers against the table, I tried to be present in the meeting but my mind kept drifting off.I had a pile of papers on my table waiting for my attention so the delay was getting me on the edge. We were discussing on opening a center which was going to be a neutral ground that would welcome all packs, and rogues who needed shelter. From my point of view, it wasn't a bad idea in theory. But theory and reality were two different things and I knew how swift good intentions could turn into a political crisis.Despite knowing this, I allowed the conversation to keep going. Nodding only when it's appropriate and chirping in only a few words. Finally, the meeting came to an end and I was relieved. “Thanks for your time." I shook hands with each Alpha one after the other b

Reader’s POVShaking her legs with her hands crossed on her chest, Scarlet was staring at the wall like something only she could read was written on it. Since the previous night, she hasn't been herself after seeing the bond between Asher and Aurora. On the other hand was Emma who was trying to comfort her while Jake was leaning against the door, staring boringly at her. “Are you still brooding over what happened last night? I mean, you should let it slide… You're the one having a hard time here, Aurora is probably having a good time with her mate who dotes on her.” Jake sang like a canary. He did nothing but to fuel the anger which she felt but he didn't care a bit."Jake is right.” Emma said, pressing her hand lightly. “Mom, are you taking sides with Jake now?” She shrieked. "He was with me, he saw how she humiliated me without saying a word.” She yelled while Jake tossed his head backwards in pure frustration. He wanted to yell at her but that was only going to worsen the sit

Asher’s POVThe atmosphere in the hall was saturated with low music, soft laughter, and the clinking of glasses which rented the air. The regional gathering was everything the meeting of Alphas should be. It was formal, respectful and polished but my focus wasn’t on the conversation around me. Instead, it was on her, Aurora. Since I left the table to meet up with Cain, I couldn't stop looking over my shoulder to take a quick glance at her. I was acting like a teenager in love which gave me thrills. It had been a while since I was this free and relieved so I welcomed it wholeheartedly. The moment Gavin took over my seat I had been occupying, I saw the way her shoulders stiffned, the way her hand curled around her glass of cocktail. As if Gavin’s presence was not enough, Jake walked up to her and then Scarlet. They were too close and the discomfort in her eyes and demeanour couldn't be missed. Several times, I had been tempted to step in, especially when Scarlet joined with a man

Aurora’s POVWhile I chatted with Gavin earlier, I felt gazes piercing through my skin. They were curious glances since this was my first appearance but still it was too much. I was just like them and not the alien they were trying to make me be with their stares that bored holes in my skin. Among all the people staring, there was Jake, swirling the content of his glass, his eyes not leaving me even for a second. Thanks to the guests all over and the distance between us, I couldn't tell him off like I wanted. Asher was not coming back anytime soon and I was losing my head so I decided to step away from the table pending when he would return. But to my horror, Jake came after me, halting right next to me with a lazy smile dancing on his lips. There was also Scarlet lurking around in the corner. My instincts screamed at me as my fingers curled tightly around the stem of my glass.Running off was the perfect response to this but I didn’t want to cause a scene. This wasn’t the time

Aurora’s POVA month had passed since Silva's death.A month since I was bathed with his blood and Asher collapsing beside me, almost lifeless. A week since the curse broke, setting a new life ahead of us.The only thing that hadn’t changed was Asher’s refusal to name a new beta.I had brought it up a few days ago, careful not to irk him but he had waved it off with a simple response, “Not yet.”He didn't need to give me reasons because I knew exactly what that meant. He didn’t trust anyone to take up that position, not after Silva’s betrayal. Well tonight, there was a regional gathering in the pack event centre and as the co host, I couldn't escape this not after a year of having it my way.And for the first time since I became the Queen, I was going to attend a formal function by Asher’s side.The regional gathering was a formal event that was heard quarterly. Alpha's from all over the region gathered to encourage peace and stability among themselves. With my heart bubbling with e
