Lahat ng Kabanata ng Lycan King's Cursed and Rejected Mate: Kabanata 221 - Kabanata 230

MAYAMy blood ran cold. "Kael…""At first, I didn't understand what he meant," he continued. "I thought it was linked to you. That maybe you were in danger, but then, before Mother Liora died, she helped interpret it for me.""Why didn't you tell me about this?"He rubbed the back of his neck. "I'm still working on my communication skills. But he would always tell me how he plans to unite our world and make everyone equal, so I want to do what he wants to do, but make it a ruse."He paused for a minute, and when he looked up at me again, his expression was dead serious. "I've thought about it for the longest time, and I think I know the best way to defeat and eliminate the Dark One. First, we have to take his armies away from him""Okay…" I nodded. "And how do we do that?""By setting him against the things he made and against his kind."I furrowed my brows. "What do you mean?"He studied me for a moment before rising from the bed. He walked to his closet and, a short while later, ret

MAYAI woke up to an empty bed and a delicious ache all over my body. The space beside me was still faintly warm from where Kael had been. The air in the room was still heavy with his scent, and for a moment, I lay there staring at the ceiling, trying to shake off the remnants of sleep and the after-effect of our lovemaking this morning.Despite all his talks about preserving our strength for today, we succumbed to our desires sometime this morning. I had straddled him in between my legs, giving me solid licks till my legs quaked with want. It was the sweetest one hour of my life ever.I must have fallen asleep afterwards, but not before I heard Kael whispering how much he loves me and how much he wants me every day. A small smile lingered on my lips as I stretched lazily. Was I allowed to be this happy?A sudden knock on the door startled me.I sat up groggily, rubbing my eyes and pushing my tangled hair away from my face. Another knock followed, more insistent this time. Swinging my

MAYAMy heart nearly stopped when I saw who entered.Selene Vale walked into the hall looking as beautiful and perfect as a Luna. I looked down at my already dusty shoes and my clammy hands, not to mention that I had managed to wipe half of the makeup off my face out of anxiety.I couldn't blame her. She had the entire region fighting for her.First, I felt relief and dread wash over me; the last time I'd seen Selene had been during the Harvest Moon Festival, in that room with Xander. He had made her fall or something, and honestly, when I heard she had been admitted, I was partly happy that she was alive, and also, as everywhere had been quiet after that, I thought, like me, she had moved on.For the first time, I regretted not opening up to Kael. I could have told him everything and saved myself from this peril. Selene could distort the truth to suit her palate, and she knows I won't be able to mention Xander because it'll sound like a lie, and now it might be too late.I could only

FINNThe Alphas exchanged glances, each of them staring at the other with contemplative gazes. I returned to my seat. Almost immediately, Alpha Marcus of Shadowcreek Pack rose, his massive frame trembling with emotion."I've thought this for years, but never dared to speak it. The Lycans treat us like servants, not allies. We are, after all, equal in the eyes of the Moon Goddess. Just because they have one or two traits we do not possess doesn't make them better than us."Alpha Alain of the Desert Wind Pack rose next. "My pack has lost good warriors defending the interests of the Lycans. When I asked for aid during the Feral's rampage, they turned their backs on us, and my Pack was an hour's drive from theirs. They had no excuse."One by one, other Alphas stood to voice their grievances. Alpha James spoke of denied trade permits that had crippled his pack's economy. Alpha Saul described how the law of the White Mountain Region had prevented his pack from expanding its territory despit

ISLAFor the first time in our twisted marriage, I held the power, and I intended to keep it.Only, it wasn't easy to tell if Finn was having it. The only thing that changed about his expression was the shocked look, but it quickly morphed into something unreadable.Then, for a brief moment, uncertainty crossed his expression, an emotion that I had never seen before that made my pulse quicken. But just as quickly, he masked it, exhaling deeply before muttering."It's fine."Then without another word, he walked back to the bed and lay down, as though nothing had happened.My heart sank and I regretted my actions, and my words… instantly. This wasn't the reaction I had expected or hoped for. Maybe I shouldn't have been so direct. Maybe I should have played along a little longer, given him a chance to chase me, to want me. But the damage was done and it was too late for regrets now.I swallowed the frustration bubbling in my throat and silently moved to the other side of the bed, slippin
