All Chapters of The Freak Is The Mate Of The Lycan: Chapter 1 - Chapter 7

Yara’s POVBeads of sweat ran down my body as my chest heaved up and down in exhaustion. I felt sore all over but when I noted that my fighting skills were improving with all the training, it all seemed worth it.Unable to control myself, a large grin appeared on my face. Too bad it didn't last long.“Who do we have here on such sacred training grounds? If it isn't the ugly freak of a wolf? Oops! I forgot that she isn't even a wolf.” A shrill voice rang out followed by multiple snide laughter and I immediately froze.Fuck! Can't these bastards just leave me be for one goddamn day? Just one day to train in peace has now turned into a pipe dream?My lips dropped into a scowl as I turned to face my new audience. Fiona and her minions stood there jeering at me with a mocking smile.Can't they get past doing such a cliche thing? Who the hell goes around in pairs like this anymore. Tsk!“Ah, What the hell is that?” I suddenly shrieked, covering my chest in mock shock and terror.All of them

Yara’s POVIt had been three days since the whipping, but the memory still clung to me like a shadow that wouldn’t fade. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw it again, Mother’s whip slicing through the air, Tiana’s body shielding me, her soft gasp of pain.I couldn’t forget it.I walked around with guilt pressed heavy on my chest. Every breath reminded me that she had taken the blow meant for me. Every time I saw the faint red mark on my shoulder, I thought of the deeper one now resting on hers.It was my fault. All of it.But even with guilt eating me alive, I couldn’t leave my room. I was too scared. The last time I tried to explain myself, I almost got another lashing. So instead, I stayed locked in my chambers like a coward, staring out the window at the training grounds I once dreamed of joining.Now, I wasn’t even allowed to step outside without permission.The days passed in silence. Servants avoided me. Food trays were left by the door without a word. It was as if I didn’t exist

YARA’S POVFor a moment, I couldn’t breathe.He stood there, the moonlight brushing over his hair, turning it silver. His eyes caught mine, steady, familiar, and so painfully gentle that my heart began to race.“Riel?” I whispered, unsure if I was imagining him.He smiled slowly, that same quiet smile he used to give when we were children. “Hey, Yara.”The sound of my name on his lips made my chest tighten. It had been years since I last heard it said that way.I took a small step back. “You’re really here?”“I could ask you the same thing.” He chuckled softly, taking a slow step toward me. “I didn’t think you’d come. Everyone said you never left your room anymore.”I looked away, my hands twisting around the hem of my dress. “I wasn’t supposed to come. Tiana… she convinced me.”“She always could,” he said with a small grin.Silence fell between us, filled only by the sound of the fountain nearby and the faint laughter drifting from inside the hall.He looked different, broader should

Tiana’s arms wrapped around me in a crushing hug, and I just stood there, stiff as a board.“Oh, Yara! Thank you!”Her voice was bright, breathless, and giddy with a relief that felt all wrong. It scraped against my nerves, which were already raw and bleeding from what I'd just done.“You saved me. I knew you’d choose me. You’re the best sister in the world!”Sister.The word felt hollow. Everything did. The tiny, warm pulse that had flickered to life inside me was gone, stamped out. I felt its absence like a physical wound, a cold, empty hole right in the center of my chest.I gently, almost mechanically, pushed Tiana away from me. My hands felt numb.“I… I have to go,” I mumbled, unable to meet her eyes. I couldn't stand to look at the face I had just sacrificed my entire future for.“Of course,” she said, and her voice was so light. She patted my cheek, a quick, almost dismissive gesture. “Go rest. You look awful, poor thing. But you did the right thing. The noble thing. I’m so pro
