All Chapters of The Lycan Kings and their Wolfless Luna: Theirs to Ruin : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Aria's POV The morning sun filtered through the curtains, stabbing at my eyes until they stung. With a groan, I rolled onto my side and blinked against the brightness. My lashes fluttered open, and two shadowy figures loomed at the edge of my bed.“Good morning, ma,” one of them greeted politely.My breath caught, and I jolted fully awake. Sleep evaporated from me instantly. When did I even fall asleep? How was it already morning? I asked myself.Everything about yesterday had felt so surreal that I was certain I wouldn’t be able to rest. My body never handled stress well—usually, sleep was the last thing I could manage.“Just great,” I muttered under my breath as I pushed myself upright. My mind scrambled to remember the names of the maids… Er… Alice and Nora. Yes. Alice and Nora.They had bathed me in that expensive floral scent Lyra always used and tucked me into convenient sleepwear last night. I was still trying to recall if I had eaten at all when my stomach growled loudly, a

Aria's POV “I can see you got my message,” the lady continued, a satisfied smile sitting on her face now. The thrill of my silence was probably getting to her. “Do well and you would have no issues with me.”I continued to stare at her, the resemblance between her and my step sister, Lyra now very obvious to me. The desperation, the hunger for control, the lengths she would go—it was all written across her face.A soft chuckle slipped out of me unconsciously. I never thought a day would come where I would be threatened because of a man— let alone my mates. Maybe she didn't know that none of them actually wanted me. She could have the three of them for all I care. I don't need men who treat women like scums.Her eyes narrowed, the smile freezing on her face. She lifted her hand and slid a finger under my chin, tilting my head back sharply.“Anything funny?” she hissed, her tone edged with venom.I slapped her hand away, my irritation growing fast now. Why does everyone here think the

Aria's POV “Just shut up and help me,” I shouted but it came out as a low, broken thing. Oh goddess, I just don't get them! The smell of my arousal thickened the air just as the triplets moved at once.Aiden reached me first.His hands framed my face, forcing me to look at him. "Aria. Listen to me. We're going to help you, but you need to tell us it's okay. Do you understand?"Did I understand? I couldn't understand anything beyond the fire consuming me from the inside out. Beyond the desperate, clawing need that made me want to crawl out of my own skin.But somewhere through the haze, I managed a nod.That was all it took.His thumb brushed across my lower lip and I gasped, the simple touch sending a shock of pleasure straight through me. My eyes fluttered closed and I leaned into it, chasing more, needing more, but he pulled back."Slowly," he murmured, though his voice was rough. "We do this slowly."Slowly was going to kill me, but I couldn't help it. I'd take whatever they giv

Aria's POV Arrggh…” A groan slipped out of my lips as I stirred gently on the bed. Every inch of my body felt numb like I’d been hit by a truck and then dragged behind it for miles.I blinked slowly, my eyelids refusing to cooperate at first. Sunlight streamed through the curtains—bright, accusing sunlight that told me it was well past dawn. How long had I been asleep?I pushed myself upright, my head pounding with a dull, persistent ache. The room tilted before settling again. My throat was parched, so dry it hurt to swallow. I needed water. I needed to get my bearings and figure out where I was and why I felt like I'd been hit by a truck.Reaching for the glass of water on the nightstand, I gulped it down greedily. The coldness soothed for only a moment before unease began to creep in.Something wasn’t right.The room looked the same, yet everything felt… off. The sheets were tangled, the scent too thick—like warmth and sweat and something primal.I tried to stretch, and instantly r

King Ryker's POV The council room felt small.I ran a frustrated hand through my hair as I stood with my back to the window, staring out at nothing. The morning sun was shining cheerfully like it had no idea what happened last night.My chest ached. Not physically — though the goddess knows my body was still recovering — but deeper. In places I didn't know could hurt. Her fear. Her confusion. Her shame. It all bled through the bond like poison, and I couldn't shut it off no matter how much I tried.I spent the whole night trying to block it out, to build walls the way I always did. But this was different. This was her, and she was everywhere inside me now.Even now my pulse was racing a thousand miles a second which was absurd. Why would a person's pulse race this fast while asleep? What the hell is going through her head?My fingers twitched toward my neck, mirroring where I'd bitten into hers. I could still taste her blood on my tongue if I thought about it too hard. Still feel th
