บททั้งหมดของ Mated To The Cursed Lycan King: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

Leora"Scrub the floors well, you lazy wench!" My stepmother, Amarie, head of the Alpha King's household cleaning department bellowed at me as she brandished her whip. "I'll be back in a few minutes, and you better be done."The pack house was full today, and for some weird reason, I felt queasy. There was no big meeting, and it was too early for the evening hunts. But yet, everyone was here, including my father who sat at a corner like a pariah, gazing forlornly into space. My heart ached as I stared at him through my peripheral vision, remembering how happy he was when Mother was still alive.My name was Leora, and once upon a time, I had a happy family. I was the Redwood Pack's beloved princess. But ever since my mother died, and I crossed sixteen without shifting, my life has shifted. They said my wolf was weak, worse than an omega's, which was the lowest rank in our caste. I'd never been able to understand it. My parents didn't either. Nothing about my birth was unusual, and grow

BryanI pulled out a hair product to slick back my dark blond hair when I caught the sound of approaching footsteps inside my room. The growl ripped through me, as everyone in the pack knew I preferred my privacy. The outline of my beta's lean build came into view first before his citrusy scent hit my nose. I tapered down my growl and returned to looking in the mirror."What do you want, Gunner?"He chuckled. "Looks like not getting any lately has really messed with you. Maybe you should apologize to that sexy witch of yours so you can get laid."Another growl emitted from my throat as I sprayed the mousse into my hand and threaded my fingers through my hair. "Annalise is long gone. Not sure if that hag is even lurking around in our kingdom anymore. She knows I've sent scouts out to find her."Gunner's shaggy black hair and gray eyes came into view while he wore a smirk. The asshole was far too laid back for a lycan, in my opinion. The dominance in him could rival my own if he found h

LeoraAfter Coda helped me finish up the bathroom stalls in the Alpha's quarters, I moved down to the pack house. The hall was my first port of call. The one thing Amarie did well was ensure the omegas were left to handle the cleaning and that certain areas were blocked off so we could do a thorough job before he let them back in. While I was in the bathroom, many of the pack seemed to mingle downstairs while the cleaning happened upstairs. After I finished in the bathroom, I could hear everyone throughout the house. I needed to work fast.If time hadn't been on my side before everyone moved upstairs, I'd be in for it. My conversation with Coda put me behind my usual schedule. I normally had the top floor completely clean by now. As I heard approaching footsteps on the stairs, I filled the bucket with water and soap and pulled it into the hallway to complete my last task on this floor. The gait of the approaching person made me tremble. This wasn't who I expected to come up here at th

BryanThe Redwood pack had been the first pack to visit on Gunner's list.Why?I had to ask myself that on the way there. Something about hot females tended to draw attention to this pack, and Gunner had heard rumors that the alpha was too harsh on the pack, which caught his interest in the channels of pack talk. I handled many tasks for the pack, but Gunner acted as my voice and made public appearances on my behalf. I would rather not deal with people constantly talking to me about things I didn't care about. That sounded like a nightmare, but not nearly as nightmarish as planning this entire affair. It had been days since we left to do this tour looking for a mate and even more days spent planning the logistics of this journey.Gunner was better at that kind of thing than I was, and he always reported back to me after every meeting with the alphas of the kingdom. Apparently, Brennan missed the last one, and some secrets spilled out during their discussions. Another alpha visited the

LeoraI was going to die.I could feel my body wasting away, forgetting when my last meal had come. Caleb left me inside the cage for at least a few days, judging by the patterns of movement above me. Coda snuck down at some point to give me a few peanut butter sandwiches. Caleb never showed up.Caleb never cared.I waited for him. Me and my wolf. We were hopeful. We were patient.We were going to die down here.My wolf wasn't strong enough to call on a shift due to the lack of energy. She wanted to help me, but unless she could break through the bars of the cage, there was nothing she could do. I knew she couldn't, even though I wished she could. I reassured her I didn't blame her for this. This was all my fault.I should have run away from here and become a rogue a long time ago.It's not like anyone wanted me around. My father didn't need me anymore. His life now began and ended with Amarie, his loving new mate.And I felt that the reason why Caleb locked me up here again a second
