All Chapters of The Banished Mate Of The Lycan King: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Azrael“We went through every single thing,” Gabriel said. “None of the information the survivors gave was helpful at all.”We were in my office that night, it was late. Gabriel and the other warriors had just returned from the North Leaf pack. The meeting was supposed to be brief.I leaned back in my chair and rubbed my jaw. “No lead means there is no case,” I said. I could hear the frustration in my own voice. “There is something we are not seeing, they can’t be this perfect. We can’t let this go, if we do, the other packs under us will think we are weak and Incapable.”Gabriel crossed his arms. “The way they carried this out, it was too smooth,” he said. “I do not think this was done by rogues. We caught the scent of rogues there, yes. But I think they are trying to use that to throw us off their trail. Rogues don’t work this clean. This was too smooth to be done by rogues alone.”“Lena,” I said. I clenched my jaw hard. “She is trying too hard to cover her trail. And she is failing

Athena“The Luna is awake,” Zoey said, her voice loud with excitement. “She woke up tonight. The whole kingdom is celebrating.” She looked around the room like she expected us to jump up and cheer with her. The rest of us were already getting ready for bed. We were tired. We had worked all day. Zoey was the only one still walking around, looking for gossip or a way to run into the king. “Wow,” Talia said, clapping her hands slowly. She didn’t mean it. “What good news, Zoey. Tell me, how is that going to reduce the work they dump on us every day?” Zoey shrugged and flipped her hair. “At least it will remind some people to know their place. Those who keep throwing themselves at the king will back off now. There will be order in the kingdom again.” I knew who she meant, she was talking about me.Talia laughed, but it wasn’t kind. “One would think you care about the king’s mate. Funny, since you have been throwing yourself at him so much that he had to ban you from going near him.

AthenaThe moment our lips connected, it was like electricity grounding itself. All the self-doubt, the hesitation, the questions about what was right vanished in a single, searing instant. I poured everything into that kiss, and he met me with a ferocity that stole my breath.His large, powerful hand wrapped around my waist, pulling me flush against the hard planes of his body. The other cradled the back of my neck, his fingers sinking into my hair, holding me with a possessiveness that felt both terrifying and exactly right. Our tongues didn’t just dance; they fought, a furious, wet tango of claim and surrender. He sucked my tongue into his mouth, and the low, pulling sensation sent a direct, throbbing pulse straight to my core. I was already wet and soaked, he is such a good kisser, damn!!There was a familiarity there, buried deep in the heat. A memory of another kiss, another body, another life. But it was lost in the present, drowned by the taste of him—spice and night and power

Azrael“I feel better now, I want to leave and return to my apartment,” Aurora said to Varek as he tried to examine her.It had been three days since she woke up, and she did look better. Her color had returned, and she was stronger than before, but something about the way she spoke made it clear she wasn’t going to listen to anyone.Varek tried to check her again, but she pulled her hand away impatiently.“Don’t you think you need to be fully stable before returning to the pack?” I asked.My voice was calm, but I wasn’t asking out of concern. If anything, I just wanted her to stay here a little longer. The past month had been different with her away from the pack.“I do not want to spend another second here,” she said, her tone sharp. “I am tired and want to return to the pack.” Then she looked at me closely, her eyes narrowing slightly. “One would think you are avoiding me returning back home.”“Sire, she feels better now,” Varek said, stepping in. “All she needs is to avoid too muc

AzraelFor a second, all of us froze, all of a sudden, Andrew staggered. He stood there for one heartbeat, eyes wide, like he didn’t understand what happened. Then his legs gave out and he hit the ground hard. Blood poured from his chest. There was movement in the trees, a shadow shifted and branches snapping, someone was running. “Gabriel,” I snarled. “Go after them, now!.” Gabriel didn’t wait, he turned and bolted into the trees, his ash-gray wolf vanished into the dark. I ran to Andrew, he was on his back, coughing. Blood spilled from his mouth with every breath. His chest was rising fast, then slower. A smell hit me before I reached him, metallic and bitter. The bullet he was shot with was laced with silver. I dropped to my knees but I didn’t touch him. I didn’t want to risk getting burned with silver, if I grabbed him now, it would eat through my skin. “Who sent you?” I demanded. My voice came out rough. “Andrew. Talk. Who?” He was gasping, his eyes found mine,
