All Chapters of The Banished Mate Of The Lycan King: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Athena’s POVI barely had time to think before Alpha Kane’s smirk cut through the hallway like a blade. “Well, Athena,” he said, voice low and dangerous, “you have just made our job a lot easier. We don’t even need to think too hard about baiting you now.”A cold shiver ran down my spine. My instincts screamed to run but before I could step back, Talia materialized behind me, blocking my escape. Kane and his beta moved like predators, stalking closer, their presence oppressive. “I knew accepting you and your friend into the pack was a blessing,” Kane said, his voice almost playful, but the darkness beneath it was unmistakable. “Now I get to benefit from that blessing.”He lunged toward me, fast and precise, and I barely had time to react. I twisted sharply, dodging his grasp, my body coiled with adrenaline. “Get the tranquilizer,” Kane ordered his beta calmly, “We will need to sedate her.”My blood ran cold. Sedate me? They are not playing anymore. He turned to Talia, his gaze sharp

Athena’s POVIt had been over a week since we were brought to the palace. In that time, everyone had been assigned duties, each person placed where they were considered useful.As for me, I couldn’t decide if fate was helping me or mocking me. Out of all the tasks in the palace, I was given the most insignificant one—arranging flowers. I spent my days holding petals and stems, making sure they looked pretty in glass vases instead of gathering information about where the scroll is kept, It was frustrating.Zoey, on the other hand, had been placed in the kitchen. She had access to servants, guards, and overheard conversations. She was exactly where we needed someone to be. And me? I was stuck in quiet hallways.Still, I refused to waste the opportunity, I stood in one of the smaller halls, a bundle of fresh white lilies in my hands. Slowly, I arranged them inside a tall vase, adjusting each stem carefully. My movements were calm but my attention was far from the flowers.My eyes moved

Athena’s POVDid Zoey do this?I quickly stepped out of the hall, scanning the palace corridors for Zoey. My eyes landed on her a few steps ahead, laughing lightly, her energy unbothered by the chaos happening in the palace. She was standing beside Talia, who was grinning broadly.I froze for a moment. Since when had Talia, who had hated us back in Black Ridge, suddenly decided to befriend Zoey?I walked toward them, “Wolfless,” Talia called, smirking, “done arranging flowers yet?”I stopped a few feet away, my gaze sharp. “At least going from combat teacher to arranging flowers is something useful,” I said, my voice cold but measured. “How about you? From Luna to a common maid, how’s that treating you?”Talia opened her mouth, probably to retort, but I didn’t give her the chance. I turned my attention to Zoey. “We need to talk,” I said firmly. Without waiting for her reply, I grabbed her arm and started dragging her down the corridor.“Hey! Athena—wait—” Zoey protested, but I didn’t

Athena“What did the king discuss with you?” Zoey’s voice came the moment I stepped into the room. The door hadn’t even fully closed behind me before she was already watching me, her eyes sharp with curiosity. It was just the two of us inside; Talia and the other girl we share the room with weren’t back yet.I dropped my things slowly, the truth was nothing had happened. The entire ride back, he hadn’t said a single word to me, I sat there, my thoughts running wild, trying to guess what he wanted and why he had singled me out like that.“It was just an excuse to get away from your talkative friend, her presence irritate me.” That was all he said before I stepped out of the car.I almost laughed thinking about it. “Surprisingly, nothing,” I said, shaking my head as I turned to face her. “He didn’t say anything.”I wasn’t about to tell her what he actually said, her eyes narrowed slightly.“Nothing, huh?” she repeated, taking a step closer. “That’s not what it looked like. The way yo

AzraelI watched as Marcus and his Luna walked into my office, both wearing deep frowns. Their presence alone was enough to irritate me, if they thought I cared about their emotions, they were mistaken. I only tolerated them because of Aurora. Nothing more.“Sire,” Marcus began, his tone tight, “the news we have received about our daughter is very troubling.”I leaned back slightly, saying nothing. “How is it possible,” he continued, “that someone could poison your Luna in your own kingdom, and you still don’t have the culprit?” His voice carried bitterness now. “That means her life is still at risk.”He placed a hand on his Luna’s shoulder, trying to comfort her as she wiped her tears.“All of this is your fault,” she said, her voice breaking. “If you had completed the mating bond earlier, none of this would have happened.” She looked at me anxiously. “Did the doctors say she will survive?”“Yes,” I answered calmly. “But her recovery will be faster if we find an organ donor.
