All Chapters of The Banished Mate Of The Lycan King: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Azrael“Thought you were excited about this trip before, what changed?”My mother’s voice cut through the quiet hum of the jet. She sat across from me, calm and observant, like she already knew the answer but wanted to hear me say it.We were on our way to another continent to see Fiona. I had convinced her to come along at the last minute, mostly because Athena had refused to come with me.No matter what I said, she didn’t change her mind. I even asked Talia to talk to her, hoping she might listen to someone else. But Athena had been firm. She wasn’t coming.I said nothing in response to my mother. Instead, I kept my eyes on my phone, pretending to be occupied.She studied me for a moment, then spoke again. “You are upset because she refused to come with you?” she said, a hint of amusement in her voice. “I never thought I’d see the day when an ordinary maid would have this much effect on you.”My grip on the phone tightened slightly. “Can I just have a quiet journey?” I replied, my

AthenaI quickly went through the box I had brought along for the trip, pulling out one outfit after another. The more I searched, the more uneasy I felt. Every single casual outfit I picked up made me more certain that Patricia and Luna Elsa had planned this. None of these clothes were normal.The most decent thing I could find was a red crop top that barely reached the middle of my waist, and a pair of jean bum shorts that stopped mid-thigh. I held them up, staring at them for a long moment, hoping I would magically find something better hidden underneath.Letting out a quiet sigh, I realized I didn’t have a choice. It was either this or nothing.I need to change as fast as possible before he gets back. He had gone out earlier to meet someone, and I had rushed to take a shower, thinking I would be fully dressed before he returned.Clearly, I had miscalculated, I clutched the towel closer to my chest as I moved toward the bathroom again, planning to finish dressing inside when the d

Athena“You have attended the mating ball ceremony before?” he asked. It was only then that I realized I had said far too much without even taking a single sip of alcohol.I looked down at the glass in my hand, suddenly regretting opening my mouth at all. He looked genuinely curious now, his full attention on me.“Hmmm… but that was a—”“Azrael!” A sharp female voice suddenly interrupted me. Both of us turned at the same time.A woman was walking toward our table confidently, her heels clicking loudly against the floor. She was stunning in a way that immediately drew attention—long red hair, tall figure, flawless skin, and an orange dress so short and tight it barely covered anything.Several heads turned to look at her as she approached. Before I could even process what was happening, she rushed toward Azrael and threw herself directly onto his lap.My eyes widened in shock. Even Azrael looked caught off guard.“It’s so nice seeing you here,” she said excitedly, wrapping her arms loo

AzraelThe moment I mentioned the mark, Athena quickly grabbed her hair from my hand and pulled it forward to cover the side of her neck. “It isn’t a mating mark,” she said immediately.I frowned, I knew exactly what I saw. It looked healed already, faded slightly with time, but it was still recognizable. I had seen mating marks before. There was no way I could mistake it for something else.“I know what a mating mark looks like, Athena,” I said slowly, studying her face carefully. “You never mentioned being mated already.”The thought alone made something dark twist inside me, my jaw tightened instantly. Another man touching her and claiming her. The image alone made anger flash through me so strongly that my eyes briefly glowed gold before I forced myself to calm down.“It is not a mating mark,” she repeated firmly. “I got injured during training.”Her tone made it clear she didn’t want to discuss it further. “Can I please have the clothes now?”I stayed silent for a moment, still

AzraelMy legs bounced impatiently beneath the table as I waited inside the old hotel lobby.The place smelled faintly of dust and old wood, If my mother had not personally assured me that Fiona was trustworthy, I would never have agreed to meet a sneaky old witch like her. Everything about the woman was secretive.It had taken weeks just to track her location, and now that I was finally here, she still had me waiting around like an idiot.I leaned back in my chair with irritation, glancing at the clock on the wall again. Just then, someone tapped my shoulder from behind.I turned around immediately, my expression cold, only to freeze slightly when I saw a young woman standing there. Confusion crossed my face. Mom had told me Fiona was around her age, so why was someone this young standing in front of me?The woman smiled sweetly, almost innocently. “Can I keep you company until the person you are waiting for comes?” she asked politely.“No thanks,” I replied flatly.Her smile faltere
