When My Mate Chose Another, the Lycan King Chose Me 59
Lucien’s POVThe morning was still gray when Gavril walked in without announcement. He never bothered with courtesies unless there was something worth my time. His boots were muffled by the thick rugs, but his presence carried enough weight to draw me from the scattered scrolls on my table.“Greetings your majesty. I just wanted to remind you that Shadow Rock Pack’s Alpha inauguration is coming up next week, and you’ve been invited, a long time ago.” he said in his calm, even voice, as though we were talking about a change in the weather.I leaned back in my chair, fingers drumming once against the armrest. The name stirred something vague in my head, half-forgotten. “Shadow Rock Pack,” I repeated slowly, tasting the syllables. My brow furrowed as I searched the corners of memory. “Where have I heard that before?”Gavril did not hesitate. “It’s Natasha’s original pack.”My lips parted with a quiet, almost indifferent sound. “Oh.” The word slipped out, flat and unbothered. A faint smir
When My Mate Chose Another, the Lycan King Chose Me 58: Tool
Damon’s POVI caught sight of her near the west corridor, where the rust-colored walls stretched high above us and swallowed the sunlight, throwing her shadow longer and thinner than her actual frame. The light fell harsh in that corner, turning her skin pale against the dark stone, but she stood as though she owned the space, her chin tilted slightly, her hands folded loosely in front of her as if she were waiting for someone to bow.For a moment, I only watched her. The way she shifted her weight from one heel to the other. The way she pressed her lips together, like someone trying to swallow a thought before it slipped out. She had not noticed me yet, and for that brief stretch of seconds I could see her without the mask, without the curve of her smile or the sharpness of her tongue. Just Ashley, restless and alone, pretending the world bent around her when, in truth, it never did.Then her eyes flicked to mine, and the act fell back into place. Her expression faltered—only for a h
When My Mate Chose Another, the Lycan King Chose Me 57: I'm her Husband
Lucien’s POVThe evening hours came slower than I wanted. I had spent most of the afternoon in silence, collecting what remained of my strength, letting the balm on my shoulder settle into the aches that refused to leave me. My body still carried its heaviness, but my mind was restless, pacing long before I could ever put my feet to the floor.Natasha came in not long after, quiet as she always was in her movements. She did not need to announce herself anymore. I knew her steps, the rhythm of them, the way they softened when she approached me like she feared disturbing whatever thoughts I was in. She stood a little away from the bed at first, her eyes studying me carefully.“Dinner will be served soon,” she said softly, her voice careful but steady. “If you’re not feeling strong enough, I’ll bring your food here. You don’t have to trouble yourself, I can manage.”Her tone carried no pity, only concern, but it stirred something in me all the same. I straightened, letting my eyes hold h
When My Mate Chose Another, the Lycan King Chose Me 56: Not your responsibility
Natasha’s POVHe hadn't taken the paper from me, so it was still in my hand. His unwavering gaze remained fixed on me, as though the words I had just uttered were more significant than they ought to have been. I had meant them plainly, simply. I didn’t need to be a physician to care for him. My pulse stumbled against my throat, though, because of the way his eyes lingered on me and the silence that hung between us. I took a deep breath and walked over to the chair next to his bed. I turned back to him after my fingers slightly tightened around the folded paper before placing it on the cabinet. He was still standing. I could see the slight tension in the way his shoulders held, the way his hand rested too carefully against his thigh as if bracing against something invisible, but his face was as serene as ever, that kingly stillness he wore like a mask. I said softly, "Lie back," and I was surprised at how steady my voice sounded. "It won't take long."His brow lifted, the faintest fl
When My Mate Chose Another, the Lycan King Chose Me 55: A Mist
Lucien’s POVI felt better now, but not nearly as much as I wanted. Not as much as I should have been left to stand from that damn bed. The truth was, the pains were still very much unbearable, still crawling under my skin like fire gnawing at my bones, but I wasn’t going to let anyone know that. Not Gavril, not the guards stationed at my door, not the Elders waiting like vultures for me to falter. They would not see me bent. They would not see me weak.I forced myself to move, step after step, though every shift of muscle was a reminder of how far I had fallen from the man I once was. Once, I could cover the span of the hall in heartbeats, stride with command that demanded respect without a word. Now, dragging myself from the bed to the cabinet across the room felt like a crawl in the dust. My wolf snarled inside me, restless with the humiliation, but I pressed forward. Every wince, every bite of pain, I buried beneath a face that showed nothing. They would not see it.The cabinet st
When My Mate Chose Another, the Lycan King Chose Me 54: Let them try
Lucien’s POVNatasha was still watching me, her eyes steady but uncertain, as if she sensed that something far larger than her question had been stirred awake. I could feel the way she wanted to press further, but I couldn’t let her—not now.“You should go,” I said, my voice lower than before, cutting the air with a cold finality that left no room for argument. “Leave the tray. I’ll eat.”Her lips parted slightly, as though she might protest, but then she caught the look in my eyes and swallowed the words back. She rose slowly, her movements careful, almost reluctant, and for a fleeting moment her gaze lingered on me, searching. Whatever she hoped to find in my expression, I made sure it wasn’t there. I held myself still, unreadable, until she finally turned and walked toward the door.The soft sound of it closing behind her left me in silence again, but it wasn’t the same silence as before.“Gavril.” My voice was sharp, calling for him through the mindlink before I even thought.
