All Chapters of Mated To The Cursed Lycan King: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

LeoraIt was as if the world fell away as everything around me became a blur. I wasn't sure how much time had passed, but another wave of pain came. This time, it was longer, and I screamed as I tried to breathe through my nose. No one told me it would be like this. Was I bleeding, and was that what I felt on my leg?Bergamot filled my nose as I felt the warmth of arms under my legs and back. Soon enough, I was pressed against Nathaniel's chest, and a burst of wind rushed over my skin. It was icy, but it felt amazing against the heat burning through me from the inside out. I couldn't tell where we were or if I was even awake as my head rolled back. The blue sky appeared to be moving in a circular motion as I stared upward. Another wave of pain rolled through me, and I couldn't hold back the scream as every muscle in my body tightened."It's just contractions, Leora! Breathe through them. It's okay," I heard Charlotte call out to me.Contractions? Yeah, that sounded right. I was pregna

BryanIt was dark by the time I reached the closest section of woods that would lead me to my mate. Paying the men I hired a bonus would be at the top of my list when I got home for sending me coordinates to this area. It would lead to the right entryway into the territory so I wouldn't startle anyone. A trek through the woods was the least of my concerns, yet it annoyed me more than I cared to admit that I would need to walk the rest of the way. I wanted to be by Leora's side by now.My only saving grace was that another update had come through. The leader of the men I hired alerted me that Leora was pulling through and was awake. In rogue territory, it seemed they took keeping the patient's details more seriously than the kingdom did. If there were people I wanted information on, I received it within the hour. Rogues didn't care that I was the king. They were outside the laws of our land, so they didn't have to listen to any of my commands. With my power, I could force the issue, bu

Leora"Excuse me?" I countered. "I wasn't the one who rejected you, remember? This was all your decision, and everything that happened since you cast me aside is on you!"He growled but kept it low enough not to startle the baby. "That's not what I wanted.""Well, you sure as fuck didn't want me to stay! I ran because you took another woman's counsel over our bond. It felt like I was living in my pack all over again!" I shouted, unable to contain the rage boiling inside me. The baby jumped from my sudden increase in volume and cried. I pulled him up to my face and used skin contact to calm him.Bryan gripped the edge of my bed, and I heard the metal strain under the pressure. I didn't flinch like I thought I would under his piercing gaze. This time, I knew what I was fighting for. Not just for myself but for the life I brought into this world. Bryan wouldn't make me feel less than what I deserved to feel right now."You chose to do this to us, not the other way around, Bryan.""Like I

BryanThe warm scent of caramel and vanilla wrapped around me, and I wanted to sink to my knees. Catching her scent made my mouth water. If I could bask in her essence all day, I would. I thought I wouldn't ever get to smell it again, and now that I have, I didn't want to let it go.She didn't say anything to me, just watched me walk further into the room. My nerves about talking to her again made it hard for me to want to sit down. This was going to be a difficult conversation, but one that needed to happen."I understand why you wouldn't want to be around me because of what happened. That shouldn't have gone down the way it did. Isobel was never going to be my bonded mate, in case you wondered."Another growl escaped her, and this time she bared her teeth at me. I couldn't blame her for that, and I mentally slapped myself for even mentioning her name."Why did you keep the baby a secret from me?"She shook her head. "You are such a dumbass. Why would I tell the person who broke my h

Leora"Leora, I know you may not want to talk about this, but I need to know something."I looked at him with my eyebrow cocked. The desperation in his voice made my heart race. The way his eyes softened when he looked at me made my breath come in ragged gasps."What?" My voice shook as I spoke.His pupils dilated upon hearing my voice like that, and I knew his alpha need to protect those who seemed scared was kicking in. If I didn't want this conversation to go poorly, I needed to rein this in now."Even if you don't want to work on things between us, I want to be part of his life. You may hate me right now, but he was created out of our love when we were together. He deserves to know where he comes from, and I am as much a part of him as you are."Did he think I would keep his pup from him? Granted, that crossed my mind, but now that Bryan knew about his existence, I realized there wasn't anywhere on this planet I could run without him finding me. I carried his future in my arms, an
