All Chapters of Accidentally Mated To The Ruthless Lycan King: Chapter 21 - Chapter 27

ADELINEMy chest felt like it was seconds away from exploding. I did not have an inkling as to how or where I'd gotten the courage to challenge the Lycan King, but I was going along with it. Tears were still streaming down my cheeks as I walked out of the palace and headed out of the estate, armed with nothing but my wits and the faith I had in my wolf. I was just so…angry. I used to think I understood what anger felt like, but I was so wrong. I'd never felt true anger until this day. I was angry at myself, angry at the rogues, angry at Alpha Dominic. But more than anything else, I was angry at Hilton. Up until this day, I had felt nothing but fear towards Hilton, even in his absence. But now when I thought of him, it was like something dark twisting in the pit of my stomach; hatred like I'd never felt before. I'd stayed in that pack clinic, helpless and hopeless after I'd first gone in search of Alpha Dominic to ask for help. But every single time I shut my eyes, images of Hilton

DOMINIC Up until this very moment, I had harbored a festering irritation and resentment against Adeline for how she wormed her way into becoming my Luna. Yes, there had been times when her actions strongly contradicted the gold-digging opportunist I'd imagined her to be, but I'd brushed it off, convinced that she was only putting on an act. But now, I knew beyond reasonable doubt that she was telling the truth. No one in her position would risk their life for a maid, a friend. Her words from earlier were still resounding in my head. She was willing to be rejected and executed, losing not only her title as Luna, but her life as well. That was definitely not the attitude of an opportunist. As I drove back to my estate, my mind whirled with thoughts. All this time, I had blamed Adeline for the mix-up of the mating ceremony, but realizing now that she was a victim in a conspiracy created a bigger problem. It meant that someone under my roof, in my very own pack, had dared to sabotage

DOMINIC I was almost running by the time I reached the training field, my chest heaving. But when I neared the spot where the two of them were standing, my movements came to an abrupt halt. I'd barged out here without thinking it through. But now that I thought about it, I had no idea why I was here at all. One sight of the woman I was supposedly indifferent about with my Beta, and I came charging like a wild horse. What the hell was I even doing here? Why did I feel this unreasonable jealousy hammering in my chest?This was ridiculous.‘She is our mate, goddamn it,’ Draco’s voice echoed in my head. “She is not deserving of that title. And she's not my type,” I hissed back. Draco rumbled with laughter. ‘Interesting. Yes, that makes sense. It's probably why you are having such a violent reaction to seeing her with another man, because she's not your type.’I looked away, refusing to acknowledge his words. I took a step back, suddenly aware of how ridiculous I probably looked stand

DOMINIC I took a sip of champagne, my eyes roaming the hall in search of Adeline. When I didn't see her in the spot where she'd been standing last, I straightened up with a jolt, my senses on full alert.Although I sent her off to mingle with the crowd, my eyes had been trailing her discreetly, following wherever she moved. At some point, I regretted sending her off. She looked so overwhelmed and alone, and it might have been easier if she was with me. But I'd forced those thoughts out of my mind. She wasn't my responsibility. She was my Luna only in name, and the one thing that tied me to her was a bond I was eager to break. That was it. Nothing else. Even at that, I couldn't stop my eyes from roaming the hall. When I finally found her, I nearly spat out the drink in my mouth. She was standing in the middle of the hall, dancing with a random man I had never set eyes on. I couldn't be sure but she looked to be enjoying herself, smiling and chatting with him.My fingers tightened
