What was happening?I turned my head slowly toward the Lycan King.He was staring at me, his eyes pitch black. Was he doing this? Was he controlling me again? And then, pain. Sharp, excruciating pain. That’s what I felt. It felt like something was tearing my wolf away from my body, like we were being forcefully separated. My wolf and I howled together, screaming in unison, both terrified.The pain lasted about a minute—one long, torturous minute of shaking, screaming, and burning from the inside out.And then I collapsed.When I opened my eyes, I wasn’t inside my wolf. I was staring at her.She was standing in front of me, her eyes filled with pain and confusion, mirroring mine.Was I… dead?How could she be here, separate from me when I hadn’t even shifted?She stepped closer and rubbed her face gently against my body, purring softly.I reached out and ran my hands through her fur. She was beautiful.Seeing her like this from this perspective took my breath away. I’d never seen any
"Run as fast as you can because if we catch you, you're coming with us." I heard one of the rogues sneer as he chased after me. I ran as fast as my legs could but it felt like it wasn't enough. “They can't catch up with me. I can't escape my former life just to end up in the hands of rouges. I've been hiding pretty well for a year, hiding my scent. How did they find me?” I thought to myself. "We can do whatever we want with her." Another one laughed out loud. "It feels so good to see a rogue that's a girl. I can smell she's not from any park. What a good find!" "We're all rogues, we don't have to run from each other. You're just a lone wolf wandering around. Join us and you'll be safe." Another one chimed in. I tried to block out their conversation as I ran faster. I tried so hard to change into my wolf, but it wasn't working. "Please, please. I need you!" I spoke to her mentally, but nothing happened. I felt sharp thorns cutting my face and legs, causing me pain. I co
I've not run for a minute when a hand grabbed me by my neck from behind, making my head snap back. I screamed in pain, my head fuzzy.That was when I felt it, the sparks. I could feel electricity on the part of my neck he was holding. It felt amazing and made my toes curl. I hit his hand and I jolted from the sparks. The scent I smelt earlier surrounded me strongly and I could feel my wolf going crazy inside me, trying to come out. My hands pricked as I tried to stop him from choking me. I struggled to open my eyes and the moment I saw his face, I let out a gasp. He had curly long hair that was styled in a stylish way. His face looked like it was carved by angels and his cold gray eyes stared at me with no emotion. He was very handsome. My wolf was trying to communicate with me, but since it had been so long since she spoke with me, I couldn't hear her well. After so many trials of trying to connect with me. I heard it, it was very faint, but I heard it. "Mate." My wolf whispered.
I could feel my heart break into pieces as I heard the words come out if his mouth. My mate just rejected me. I looked into his blank eyes as he let go of me and I just crumbled on the floor, My wolf howling in pain. “What…What did you just do?” I cried out, placing my hands on my chest, breathing heavily. He smirked as he looked at me. “I told you, I'd rather let you wish for death than kill you. You will die from the pain of having no mate and it will be slow and agonizing.” “How could you be so evil? The moon goddess didn't make us mates for no reason. You should have just killed me!” I screamed out. “Sulking and shouting won't fix anything. Now stand up, we need to leave.” He replied, looking bored and uninterested in whatever I was saying. “What do you mean by we should leave? Haven't you done enough? I'm not going anywhere with you.” I said, hugging my legs to my chest, sniffing. “You really think I reject you and just let you go?” He laughed coldly. “You might not be o
“How dare you speak back to me! You filthy rouge. Don't you know what you are in this park? You're nothing and you're about to live your worst life ever here. You're going to die and I'll make sure it's by my hands.” I smirked, spitting out the blood that was forming in my mouth and glared at her, not backing down. She got more furious and growled at me, claws coming out of her fingers, ready to attack me when Logan grabbed her by her waist, nuzzling his nose in her neck. “Calm down Valerie, you don't need to get angry because of a bitch like her.” “You need to punish her, Logan. Did you see the way she looked at me? I'm sure she plans to do something evil to me later. I don't like her and I want you to kill her immediately, right now!” Valerie whined. I rolled my eyes as I watched them, disgust evident on my face. Logan looked up at me, angrily his eyes changing colors. He growled and stalked towards me. “How dare you disrespect my mate and Luna of my park? He yelled, making
“What do you mean by that? What mistake did I make by coming here? How do you even know my name?” I asked, curious, confused and disturbed. “How did you get in here? Show your face, you coward.” I said, trying to act stronger that I look.I stared at the man squatting in front of me, trying to figure him out but I couldn’t. His voice sounded familiar but I couldn’t place where I heard it from. “You’re in no position to ask me questions, rogue. You came here at the wrong time and if you think you can ruin my years of hard work, you’re wrong. I’ll kill you before then.” This park is no place for you to be and if you think you can have the alpha as your mate, you are very wrong. Rogues are to be killed and soon, you will be!” He said, his hands tightening around the cage bars with rage. “Can you just explain yourself better? I have no idea what you’re talking about and how did you know we’re mates? Who exactly are you and—?” I didn’t complete my statement before he was away in a
The moongoddess hates me. I know that now. Right from when I started to suffer in my last pack, to this very moment of being caught after trying to escape. She hates me. I'm weak, with no wolf. I can't fight to save my life and my mate doesn't want me. The plan was to start a new life entirely, forgetting about Logan, but that can't happen anymore. I groaned as I tried to push the body off me, but it felt like I was trying to lift a heavy rock, it was impossible. I could feel my body get hot and electricity zap through my body. The tip of my fingers were left with a tingling sensation. I had been caught by Logan. He got off me in a flash, and took a few steps away from me and I got up fast on my feet, about to run again when I crashed onto a hard wall. I stepped back and looked back to see what stopped me from running when I saw that it was Logan and the hard walk was his toned body. His hair was wet and disheveled and I could tell that he just had his bath. His eyes were black,
I laid on the floor in my cage, weak and tired from crying so much. I put the maid in danger and Logan didn't hesitate to deal with her. He whipped her for over an hour and at some point, he forced me to watch her. He didn't stop until she was unconscious. I closed my eyes tightly and the picture of her battered body flashed in my mind. Logan had thrown me back in the cage and told me he'd be back. I sniffed and sat down, trying to clear my head. A mate is supposed to be your special someone, who you share a connection with. I always wished to find my mate and I daydream of how he would treat me, love me and cherish me but I got a monster who rejected me. I was about to fall asleep when I heard two voices talking. I could tell one was Logan because I could sense him. The other person was a female and from the scent, I could tell it wasn't Valerie. I scooted closer to the entrance of the cage so that I could hear them well. "How could you lock her up, Logan? She's your mate!" Th

That’s what I felt. It felt like something was tearing my wolf away from my body, like we were being forcefully separated.

I took a step back, shaking my head. What the Lycan King just said didn’t make any sense. Was he trying to mess with me? How could our wolves have the same fur color? That’s only supposed to happen with mates and even then, it’s not always identical. I’ve never heard of mates having the same fur color. All this time, I thought the black that suddenly appeared on half of my wolf’s body came from Logan. His wolf is black, after all, so it made sense. But now the Lycan King is saying something completely different, something that just doesn’t add up.“So you’re saying you shifted once and were a white wolf, and then you shifted again and suddenly turned black and white? Are you trying to mess with me? Let me make it clear to you. I’m not in the mood for your games.” he asked, his voice rising with anger.“I should be the one asking questions right now,” I hissed back. “Because it seems like you know more about me than I do. How do you even know what my wolf looks like?”“Because that’s
Suddenly, the air around me changed. A force lifted me off the ground and threw me out of the room. The door slammed behind me, and I landed hard on my butt.Did he really just kick me out like that?I stood up fast and went to the door, grabbing the handle but the moment I touched it, a sharp jolt of electricity shot through my arm. I cried out, fell to the floor, and shook from the shock.“You fucker!” I shouted once I could talk again. “Just because you have powers doesn’t mean you can use them however you want! Screw you!”The door burst open, and he came out looking furious. He grabbed my shirt and pulled me up, shaking me.“I could kill you right now,” he said through gritted teeth. “So you better keep that mouth of yours shut. You don’t know what I’m capable of so don’t test me.”I knew I should be scared but all I could do was stare at him.He was… beautiful. Too beautiful. His eyes were sharp, his face perfect, and when he pulled me closer, I forgot how to breathe.Our faces
The Lycan King picked up his pace, and within seconds, it felt like we were gliding through the air. Floating fast and smooth. I should have asked questions or just said something but I couldn’t. My body felt weak and my mind was heavy. I should have been relieved and happy that he took me away from that hellhole. But all I felt was… emptiness, sadness and embarrassment. Why did I have to act like that?Why did I scream and beg right in front of him after putting up such a strong front? I had told him I’d never go with him, and now here I was… in his arms, heading to God-knows-where without a single fight.“You can let go of my shirt before you rip it to shreds,” he said, voice low and rumbling from his chest.I flinched.“Sorry,” I muttered, loosening my clenched fist. I hadn’t realized I was gripping his clothes that hard. The fabric beneath my hand was already torn.“You can put me down,” I said quietly, trying to shift away. “I can walk.”“I’m not sure either of us wants that,”
The Lycan King lifted me effortlessly back into his arms, staring down at me as if waiting for some kind of apology or a thank you. I gave him neither. I crossed my arms tightly over my chest and turned my face away. I had a thousand things to say but I’d rather stay silent.“Exactly what I thought,” he muttered after a pause.He turned to leave, carrying me like a ragdoll, when a familiar voice filled the air.“Stop right there!” Logan yelled. “You know the rules,” he barked, stepping forward. “You can’t just take a pack member without the Alpha’s permission. And also, she’s not just anyone, she’s my true mate. You can’t separate us. She belongs to me, and I won’t let you walk away with her!”His voice shook, but whether it was from fear or anger, I couldn’t tell and it wasn’t like I did care.Instead, I laughed.A bitter, broken, pained laugh that echoed through the field and made heads turn. Everyone stared like I’d finally lost my mind.“Shut up, you lying bastard!” I snapped, n
“Take who away?” I asked, stepping back instinctively. This had to be some kind of joke. Maybe he’d pull out a red nose and announce it was all a prank. But the hard line of his jaw and the way his eyes didn’t waver told me he was dead serious.“I won’t say it again, wolf. I didn’t come all this way for an argument. I don’t want to be here any more than you want me here. So make this easy and come along quietly. Don’t make a scene.” The Lycan King’s voice was flat, almost bored.He turned his back on me, clearly expecting I’d fall in line like some obedient pet. But I stayed right where I was, my feet glued to the floor. He hadn’t explained anything to me and he thinks he can just command me? How did I supposedly summon him? And now he expected me to follow him blindly? What kind of backwards kidnapping method was this?“Now,” he said over his shoulder. A hint of frustration showing on his face. “No,” I said, loud and clear, keeping my gaze locked with his.His eyes narrowed dangero
“Why stress that little head of yours trying to figure things out?” the man said, folding his arms across his chest, his biceps bulging beneath his shirt. “Just ask. I’m right here. Ready to explain anything you want to know.”I blinked and shook my head, trying to focus. Trying to stop staring at him like some starstruck fool.Get it together, Lily.“Who are you?” I asked, voice firmer now. “And how do you know me?”He smiled. Then, with slow, confident steps, he backed away like he was preparing for something dramatic. And when he spoke, his voice echoed with power.“I am the Lycan King. The Alpha of Alphas. The one no one dares to cross without paying the price. The protector of those who call out in need.”I stared at him, stunned.The Lycan King?No. It couldn’t be.There were many Alphas across the world. Dozens of packs. But only one Lycan King. One ruler above all others. And he was standing right in front of me.No wonder Logan couldn’t match him. No wonder the Alpha tone did
Bodies.That was all I saw when I stepped outside. Logan’s soldiers were scattered across the ground, limbs twisted at unnatural angles, their eyes wide open in death or shock, I couldn’t tell. A cold chill ran through me as I scanned the bloodied bodies, my heart racing as I searched for him.Logan.Damn this mate bond. Even after everything, my heart still reached out for him, aching with worry I didn’t want to feel. I moved through the bodies, hoping someone could explain what the hell was going on.Then I turned a corner… and froze.He stood there.A man I had never seen before, standing tall and deadly in front of a bloodied and injured Logan. My breath caught. He was… beautiful. Beautiful and terrifying. His eyes were mismatched. One a piercing icy blue, the other burning red like fire. And his body. God, it was like stone. Muscles thicker than Logan’s, veins visible, and tattoos etched into every inch of exposed skin.He wore a black singlet and combat trousers, his arms loose
Valerie looked like she was thinking it over for a moment, her eyes narrowing.“Why should I let you escape,” she said coldly, “when I can just kill you and make sure no one ever finds out?”She took a step closer, voice low and cruel.“I want Logan all to myself. I don’t like the idea of you being out there, alive. If you’re dead, that’s better for me. I wouldn’t have to worry about you returning while having some silly ideas in your head, thinking you have Logan back. ”I stared back, trying to stay calm.“You have my word,” I said quietly. “I’ll never come back. Not after how I’ve been treated. Logan already made it clear in so many ways that we can’t be together and also, I won’t beg anyone who has rejected me. I won’t stay where I’m not wanted—”Before I could finish, a loud horn blasted through the air and the sound shook the walls, loud enough to make the windows rattle. I froze, confused. What the hell was that?I turned back to Valerie but her face had gone pale, white as sn
