Lucien’s POV

Abram’s words followed me into the morning like a shadow that refused to fade. I could still hear the lilt of his voice, the sharpness veiled in drawl. Why does it feel like you’re trying to convince yourself… rather than convince me?

It had been meant as a jest, or at least he wanted me to take it as one, but I knew better. Abram never wasted words. He had pierced through me, the way he always did, and the question lodged itself in my chest long after I left the tavern.

    EPILOGUEDamon filled Natasha with wrong information about who she was and why Lucien had brought her to the Kingdom.

This disrupts Michelle’s grand plan, but she immediately comes up with a new plan.Lucien arrives to save Natasha. But soon, everyone realises they were just a pawn in a bigger play.

  • When My Mate Chose Another, the Lycan King Chose Me   178: Who is he?

    Natasha’s POV“We really shouldn’t be doing this,” he said the moment I reached him.I kept walking. “You didn’t drag me out here to scold me.”He followed, steps echoing. “I dragged you out here because I’ve been trying to tell you this for the past month, but you just wouldn’t hear it.”“I heard you,” I said. “I just didn’t believe you.”“That’s because Lucien trained you not to.”I stopped, then turned slowly.“Be careful.”“I am being careful,” Damon snapped. “With you. With the truth. With the fact that if I don’t say this now, I may not get another chance.”I studied his face.“You think Lucien brainwashed me,” I said flatly.“I know he did,” Damon replied.“What do you mean?” I asked as we moved further into the dark stairwell.“You asked me once,” Damon continued, “why Korah changed so fast. Why did she give up fighting?My chest tightened.“You said grief,” I replied.“That’s what you were led to believe,” Damon said. “It wasn’t grief. It was suppression.”The stairs ended at

  • When My Mate Chose Another, the Lycan King Chose Me   177: Rebellion

    Lucien’s POVI tried to tell myself it wasn’t about me.But the truth didn’t care what I told myself.Every line she presented to the Elders felt like an indictment. Every woman she spoke for sounded like an echo of her. And every silence she left where my name should have been was louder than any accusation ever could.She didn’t need to say Lucien.I heard it anyway.The Women who reasonated with her in the Kingdom praised her restraint. Her growth. Her vision. They whispered about how impressive she’d become.The blueprint she submitted earlier kept replaying in my mind through a dinner I barely tasted. By nightfall, I couldn’t hold back my restlessness.I went to her room.I didn’t knock.She was seated at the desk near the window, hair loose down her back, sleeves pushed up, fingers moving quickly across the keys of her laptop.She didn’t look up when I entered.“You’re busy,” I said.“Mmm,” she replied, eyes still locked on the screen.That sound... It was casual, dismissive eve

  • When My Mate Chose Another, the Lycan King Chose Me   176: Why here?

    Natasha’s POVThroughout the past month, since I got my wolf, I've been learning new things about myself every single day.And one of my biggest lessons was that I wasn’t fragile anymore.The palace still carried that familiar chill. Everything remained the same. Same rules dressed up as tradition. But I moved differently inside it now. I noticed things I used to excuse. I noticed how the dreams of many died because they didn't have the power to push for it, either suppressed by their mates or even the restrictions of the Kingdom.I started taking notes. This wasn't something to be treated as less.To think I'm also a victim.At first, it was just a page. Anonymously written. Words typed late at night when sleep refused to come. Stories I’d heard but never seen written down. Women whose goals were being strangled by partners who loved them “too much.” Women trapped by absence, by lack of access, by systems that punished vision instead of nurturing it.I called it The Unbroken Line.B

  • When My Mate Chose Another, the Lycan King Chose Me   175: The Concept

    Michelle’s POVNo matter how many nights I spent here, the air never got better. Still the same suffocating atmosphere. The walls were cracked, the roof half-collapsed in places, and moonlight slipped through some of the holes. Perfect.Dead places were always safest. No one would think to find me here. No one would even think humanity could survive it here.Michelle’s dead.That was the story now.And stories, when told well, had a way of becoming truth.My phone vibrated.I didn’t rush to answer. I already knew who it was, by the way.When I finally picked it up, I didn’t bother softening my voice. “Go on, what do you have?”Hadrek exhaled on the other end.“She has started her search,” he said.I leaned back against the wall, the cold penetrating through the fabric. “Natasha.”“Yes.”“How far?” I asked.“She knows Korah was her sister,” he replied. “She knows their mom fled with Korah during the war. She knows the maid took her in the chaos. She’s been digging through sealed record

  • When My Mate Chose Another, the Lycan King Chose Me   174: What Game are you playing?

    Lucien’s POVThe meeting ended without me hearing half of what was said.I nodded at the right moments. Signed what looked appealing to me. And spoke only when I felt like. But my mind stayed elsewhere.When the meeting finally came to an end, I left without ceremony. I didn’t need any of that right now. I just needed air.My route home cut straight through Abram’s pack territory.I hadn’t planned to see him, but now that I’m around, it’s better to stop by. He was the only one I could talk to after all.“Stop here!” I said to the driver before pulling out my phone.He answered on the third ring.“What a surprise, the Lycan King is calling,” Abram said, light-toned.“Are you in town?” I asked directly.“Yes.”“Are you free?”A pause. Then, “For you? Or for the mess you’ve made?” He said knowingly.Abram knew me too well. And of course, he must have heard, cause rumours fly so fast around here.I exhaled through my nose. “Both.”“I’m available,” he said. “Meet me at the usual spot.”The

  • When My Mate Chose Another, the Lycan King Chose Me   133: You're coming with me?

    Natasha’s POVMorning came quietly, soft streaks of light spilling across the curtains and pulling me out of sleep. I turned slowly, blinking through the drowsiness, and found Lucien already awake. He was standing by the window, shirt half-buttoned, eyes fixed on the faint horizon outside like he’d

    Natasha's POV What's all this funny behaviour for? I thought to myself as he adjusted beside me. Is this also just the mate bond? Probably, he's just doing it for duty's sake. To get a good name in the face of the people, because what would people say if he left the kingdom with his Queen and ret

    Lucien’s POVBy the time we reached the hotel, the air outside had grown thick with the scent of night rain and gunpowder. The drive had been long, silent, and heavy with unspoken thoughts. Natasha hadn’t said another word since the ambush. She sat still beside me, her fingers twisting together in

    SONIA’S POVHis words were meant to sting, and they did. But instead of giving him the satisfaction of seeing me angry, I smiled. That kind of calm, slow smile that held more venom than a hiss ever could.“It’s better to be a second wife,” I said softly, my voice edged with mock sweetness, “than to
