She’s mine. Alexander’s stance. “Why did that bitch have to be the Lycan king’s mate?” Maria yelled. My head was hurting. I tried to process all that had happened. I thought I could offer my mate to the king, but I was wrong. How was that possible? She was my mate? Where did it go wrong? “That bitch will come back to avenge now that she is mated to a powerful being. Why did I not kill her then?” “Will you please be quiet, Maria?” I snapped. “Can’t you see I’m trying to figure out what went wrong?” “You need to be quiet, Alex!” she howled at me. “I’ve tolerated your nasty and silly behavior because I love you. You caused all of this. We should have killed her when we had the chance. We have the power to kill her then. Look at what you’ve caused. She’s mated to the Lycan king. We’re not safe, especially me.” I roared and grabbed her. “Will you keep quiet, or do you want me to help you with that, Queen?” She trembled in fear, tears welling up in her eyes. Shit! What have I done?

My Secret. Maria’s POV “What are we going to do, my queen?” Miranda asked.“Will you shut up?” I yelled. “Can’t you see that I am thinking about it?"“I’m sorry, my queen."“Miranda.” I held her arms. “What if he says everything? The secret between us.” If Miller opened his mouth and told the king about my secret, I wouldn’t be able to save my head. What should I do? “I’m fed up."“Fear not, my queen. He knows most of our secrets. We should do this.” She drew me closer and whispered into my ear.“Really! We should do that?” I asked.“Yes, my queen. That’s the only solution we have."“Thank you, Miranda.” I pulled her into a hug. “You saved me again."“You’re welcome, my queen."“Where are you going, my queen?” she asked. “I should go now before the king interrogates him."“My queen, he won’t listen. You don’t have to pity him. Let’s just do as I say."“No, not yet. I’ll be back."I put on my clothes and headed to the jail.“Open this damn door."“Yes, my queen."“What the heck are

Taste her.Miller. Damn, she was so clean. Her body was beautiful, unlike my fake wife, Ella. I licked my lips, wanting to taste her. I leaned in and kissed her softly on the lips. She let out a small gasp, and her eyes fluttered closed. She wanted this. All of them were the same. They used what they had to get what they needed. Without wasting my time, I grabbed her and shoved her to the bed in an attempt to fuck her brain out, but I was stopped by a barrier. She was a virgin, unbelievable. The king never laid a hand on her. I was thrilled and determined to control her. I wanted to be her ruler. To dominate her. After sleeping with her, I continued to do her bidding. The more I obeyed her, the more I got to be with her. She was so charming and sweet that I became addicted to her. Sometimes I would stay the night, leaving Ella all alone. As time passed, I started to develop feelings for the queen, and I thought she felt the same way about me. But who would have guessed that for her

Human realm. King Finn. “How are you, mate?” I asked as I walked into her room. I tried to kiss her, but she refused. What had I done to her to keep rejecting me? “Good morning, King Finn,” she greeted me politely. She bowed her head in total respect. “What has come over you, mate?” I asked, pulling her closer. “Why are you treating me like this?” “How? What do you mean?” She asked, as if she didn’t know what I was talking about. “I don’t understand you.” “Have I done something to upset you?" I asked, trying to be gentle. It had been days since I brought her here, and she hadn’t allowed me to kiss or sleep with her. I thought mates were supposed to be inseparable, but she was different. Was she afraid of me because I killed my soldier? “You did nothing. Let me go.” “We should talk.” I tried to touch her again, but she yanked my hands away. “We have nothing to talk about, Your Majesty,” she replied firmly. “Was it because I killed him? Are you scared of me because of that?” S

You're not fit to be his queen.Lisa’s POV. “My lady, why are you treating King Finn like this?” Linda asked. “I don’t understand. He’s your fated mate; you should be kind to him.” “Linda,” I sighed. I wished she could understand the turmoil I endured in Alexander’s hands. “I don’t want to get involved with anyone again.” “My lady!" Linda implored, holding my hand. “I understand your ex-mate treated you poorly, but I don’t want you to mistreat him. I can sense that he is in love with you. He truly loves you.” I gazed at her in disbelief. “Linda, that won’t be possible. I’m sorry.” Not admitting that I wasn’t drawn to him would be a lie. I felt a pull towards him, but the fear of getting entangled with anyone again, especially a Lycan king, held me back. “You should reconsider your decision.” “It’s okay, Linda. I don’t want to be enslaved again or bonded to anyone in my life. I detest anything associated with mates,” I muttered. “You should understand me.” Despite his kindness to
