All Chapters of MARRIED TO AN ALPHA, CLAIMED BY THE LYCAN KING : Chapter 1 - Chapter 6

I was having the best dream. I don't even remember what it was about but I remember the feeling, warm, easy, like nothing in the world needed anything from me. I stretched into it, pulling the blanket higher, chasing the last soft edges of it…“You're awake.”My eyes flew open.There was a man sitting in the chair beside my bed, watching me with an expression so full of disgust like I'd personally offended him just by existing in his vicinity.I shot upright. “Who are you? I demanded, yanking the blanket up to my chest. “How dare you walk into the Blood Moon Luna's room? Do you know who I am? Get out…”“You don't even know who you are talking to?”His voice was sharp, cutting right through mine. He leaned forward slightly, his eyes narrowing, like he was looking at something that genuinely puzzled him.I looked at him properly.

He had known it every single day for however many months that crescent mark had been sitting behind his ear healing. And now he was sitting in front of the man who had issued that order and asking him to simply set it aside because Andrew had found someone he liked better.The silence stretched for a while because the King set his glass down.

I let my breath go a little uneven. I looked up at the King with the expression of a woman who had been holding herself together through considerable difficulty and was only just managing it.“Your Majesty.” I kept my voice soft. “I understand Andrew's happiness at finding his fated mate.
