Semua Bab Lycan King's Cursed and Rejected Mate: Bab 131 - Bab 140

KAEL“I was never raised with being able to express how I feel,” I stated in a rough tone. “Sometimes when I want to say I love you, I end up saying it wrongly. The domestic staff raised me in the pack house. Love to me meant eating dinner and occasionally going hunting. All of this is alien to me, Maya. You should at least give me a second chance to redeem myself, and I will learn how to love you since my methods didn’t work the first time.”She stared at me for a long moment. Then she drew in a shaky breath.“I’m going to marry Finn,” she announced, sniffing back tears. “You can go ahead and get married to Selene. I no longer care.”“You want to punish me, Maya…” My voice cracked. “I get it. But you don’t have to go to such extremes. You’ll…” A tear slipped free; I didn’t bother wiping it away. “You’ll kill me.”“And yet you haven’t died after four years of waiting,” she said woodenly. “There’s nothing for us again, Kael. I cannot bring myself to forget. Finn asked me to be his Luna

MIRIAMI sat alone in the temple. The golden rays of the evening sun filtered through the stained-glass windows and cast long, colorful shadows across the polished marble floors. I had chosen one of the smaller meditation alcoves, tucked away from the main altar.My fingers trembled slightly as I traced the outline of the figure on the screen of my phone. The photo was old, slightly blurred, but it was him, my mate, smiling in that rare, unguarded way he only ever showed me. I held back the tears that threatened to spill, drawing in a shaky breath.I had been coming here every single day since I arrived, kneeling in silence, praying for him. I wanted to mourn him properly, to let the anguish in my heart finally break free and pour out, but I couldn’t.Most of all, his last message to me, sent two days before he died, kept echoing in my mind. He had asked for a chance to reconcile. To finally confess everything to our daughter. But as usual, I had been adamant. Stubborn. I thought we h

MAYAThe number flashing on my phone screen was Selene’s.I watched it ring until the call ended, then went back to my reading. The phone rang again almost immediately. My thumb hovered over the screen as a wave of unease settled in my stomach. I didn’t want to talk to her. Finally, I took a deep breath and accepted the call.“Hello?”“I was wondering if you’d pick up,” she said, skipping any greeting.I gritted my teeth. “What do you want, Selene? If you have something to say, get to the point.”She huffed in disbelief. “Two days,” she shouted. “I sent you that address two days ago, waited for you, and you didn’t even bother to show up?”I leaned back in the leather armchair as a wry smile played on my lips. “Oh, I was busy… still busy. You could have checked if I was free before sending me random addresses, you know.”The line went quiet for a moment. When Selene spoke again, her voice was tight with frustration. “Where are you now?” she snapped.“The library,” I responded. “What d

MAYAThe sun hung low over the Fangridge when we arrived at Silvermere Pack.The evening light cast long, golden shadows across the landscape, turning the entire territory into something almost ethereal. If I had thought Kael’s pack was beautiful, I had no words for the sight before me now. Rolling hills dotted with ancient silver-barked trees, crystal-clear streams winding through meadows, and the distant shimmer of the famous Silvermere lake.I sat quietly in the back of the vehicle, staring out the window as the car drove deeper into the pack. Nervous energy coiled tight in my stomach. I had no idea what the cleansing ritual would involve or what the outcome would be. I still didn’t fully understand why Nanny was here, or what role she was supposed to play.Earlier, when I had tried to speak with her, the High Priestess had gently stopped me. She said Miriam would not be able to hold conversations until after the cleansing ceremony was complete. She needed to maintain her aura. I h

KAELI’ve never trusted in the supernatural. I was never a big believer in the Moon Goddess or the Universe, but right now, an unease had settled deep in my bones, spreading to every part of my body.I didn’t know if it was the unnatural stillness of the evening or the way the wind seemed to have completely died, but something felt terribly wrong. I could sense it in my gut.I stood at the lake’s bank while my gaze shifted restlessly between Maya and Miriam. They were knee-deep in the shimmering water. The evening had grown darker, and the moon now cast its pale, silvery glow over the surface of the lake.The High Priestess had stopped chanting. The lake was far too quiet.Tobias moved closer to me and muttered, “I just received word from one of the Generals. One of the werewolf packs is under attack by Ferals. Although they’re doing everything to quell it, it’s getting severe.”I nodded absently. My eyes were still fixed on the two figures in the water. “How far is that werewolf pack
