All Chapters of The Lycan King’s Cursed Curvy Mate: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

BELLA My father disliked politics. He hated conflict. There was absolutely no way he would be involved in a rebellion against the centuries-old monarch. Unless...he had a death wish. But then, he has too much to lose."He wouldn't—" I start to say."The palace guards are already mobilizing," Tiana whispers. "The council is demanding arrests."My stomach riots, bile threatening to push up into my throat. Aragon curses softly under his breath beside me. I grab Tiana's wrist, desperate."What happens to their families?" I ask.The silence that follows is unbearable. Tiana looks devastated."Under royal law..." Her voice trembles. "All blood relatives of convicted traitors are punished alongside them."The words hit me so hard that I stagger backwards, struck by an intense wave of dizziness.No. My mother—Oh, goddess.My mother is sick. She can barely even leave her bed."They can't," I whisper weakly. "They can't punish innocent people."Tiana's eyes fill up completely with tears. "T

BELLA After what happened in the garden, I should feel relieved. Excited, even.The moment my hand touched his chest and that warmth spread beneath my palm... goddess. I had felt his pain fading.Skye had nearly burst with excitement inside my head afterward.'Did you feel that?!' she'd gasped. 'We helped him!'And honestly, I had felt proud.For one brief, stupid moment, I'd been happy. But then Rhain's expression changed. Every time our eyes almost met, he'd glance away.At first I thought maybe the pain had returned. But no. If anything, he seemed physically better.Emotionally, though... something was off.A knot tightens in my chest.Maybe he's trying to figure out how to protect my family without destabilizing the kingdom?The thought makes guilt gnaw viciously at me.The bathroom door finally opens, and my breath catches slightly.Rhain steps out barefoot, droplets of water still clinging to the golden skin of his chest and shoulders. Damp dark hair hangs loose around his

BELLA I remain frozen beneath the heavy tablecloth, Rhain's cock still warm in my mouth while absolute horror floods every inch of my body.The Queen Mother is standing right there. Above me, Rhain goes unnaturally still. I squeeze my eyes shut briefly, already planning my funeral.The Queen Mother continues speaking, blissfully unaware."—the chefs prepared those dark cherry truffles you like, so I thought perhaps we could discuss the—"A long, horrible silence floods the room, and then my king finally clears his throat roughly above me."Mother." The single word sounds strangled."...Rhain."OH NO.I hear slow footsteps approach the table. Panic seizes me in an instant. Rhain's hand suddenly slides into my hair beneath the tablecloth and squeezes gently.A warning for me to stay still. When his mother speaks again, she sounds strangely calm."Why," she asks slowly, "are you sweating?"I nearly choke. Above me, Rhain laughs weakly."I'm eating chocolate.""That has never made

[FLASHBACK]BELLA/VESPERA The room smells of raw sex. We are a filthy, desperate mess on the massive bed. Rhain has me pinned beneath him, one of my legs hooked high over his shoulder as he makes love to me with deep, brutal strokes.His thick length stretches me open with every savage thrust, dragging against that perfect spot inside me that makes my vision blur."Rhain—!" I scream, my voice cracking as another orgasm barrels through me without mercy.My walls clamp down hard around his cock, fluttering and squeezing as hot pleasure simmers through my core. The mate bond sizzles white-hot between us, amplifying every sensation until I am drowning in ecstasy.He growls like a beast, his hips snapping harder, driving his rod even deeper. "That's it, Vespera—fuck, come on my cock again. Let me feel you lose control."My back arches off the bed, a sob tearing from my throat as wave after wave crashes through me. The bond turns every thrust into pure fire.My cunt gushes around him,

BELLA My baby. The words echo in my skull. Rhain's arms tighten around me, crushing me against his chest while uncertainty flashes across his face."What baby?" he asks hoarsely.Fragments replay behind my eyes.Blood on marble. A massive hand covered in crimson. Silver hair. Rhain roaring loud enough to shake the walls—Pain stabs through my head. I let out a gasp, shoving against his chest hard enough to startle both of us. Rhain loosens his hold immediately, those violet eyes locking onto my face with panic."Butterfly?"I scramble backwards across the bed until my spine collides with the headboard. My breathing turns ragged.No no no—Something horrible happened. I can feel it.It's not just the memories. It's more like emotions buried so deeply they feel like rot. Grief. Terror. Loss so unbearable my body remembers it.Rhain reaches towards me."Bella—""Don't touch me," I spit, and he freezes.I watch the hurt flash across his face before he buries it quickly. My chest burns
