All Chapters of THE LYCAN KING’S STOLEN MATE.: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

KAIREN“Can you not speak like that? It's so crude.” Merilyn huffed, her cheeks a cute pink colour.“I just wanted to make sure I was clear enough.” I placed a kiss on her lips, something I hadn't been able to stop myself from doing.I pulled away from her and went back to my seat before I ended up taking her on this table.Maybe I should have accepted her offer last night?Looking at her now, I realized it didn't matter. Because very very soon, Merilyn will be mine again and she'd be the one offering herself to me and this time I intend to take and collect everything.She cleared her throat, “I…I actually came here to see you for something important.”“Let's talk while we have breakfast.”She nodded and settled on her chair, this time the one closest to me. “My guard told me you came to my bedroom last night.”I nodded. “Yes. Why?”“Uhm…Did you…did I maybe…say anything to you?”I fought to hide my smile. “Something like what?”“Uhm… like…” she looked at me, flushed even more and look

MERILYNI moved away immediately. My heart thudding in my chest.What the hell was happening? Why did he look like… like a rogue?“Merilyn?” He whispered. He sounded like he was fine but his eyes, they were anything but fine.He moved suddenly and I squeaked, trying to dodge him. I raced towards the door but I'd barely taken two steps when my body was yanked backwards.My back hit the solidness of his chest. I could hear my heart beating like a drum in my ears.I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I can't die yet! Not like this!When his nose pressed against my shoulder, a shudder ran through me and not the good kind. Fear was oozing from my pores like a tap, I tried to stop it but I couldn't.Finally, I was standing before the beast everyone said was crazy and my bravado had fled out the window, running for dear life.My hands shook, my body trembled against his as I braced myself to get torn to shreds. If this was why they made a rule against people entering his room while he s

MERILYN“Where are we going?” I asked, staring around as the hallways slowly morphed into a darker colour, a more silent and secluded part of the castle.“You'll see,” he said, his grip tightening around my wrist but not to the point of hurting. We rounded a corner and stopped right in front of a door, large, solid, and almost brooding.My heart skipped without reason as the Alpha King pushed open the door—the stale, putrid air of rusty metal and blood hit me in the face. I slammed one hand over my face and tugged back, not wanting to go in.But he didn't leave me any choice and just kept pulling me along either way. We went down the stairs, my head starting left and right at the cracked walls, the high windows that made this whole place feel like a prison rather than a part of the castle.Suddenly, Alpha King Kairen shoved me inside and I turned around to look at where I was.It was a prison.Deep claw marks etched the walls, silver chains bigger than my body leaned against them, and

MERILYNNo.My heart stopped. Nothing could have prepared me for what he said. And yet I couldn't stop myself from wondering…. Did they regret it?When death looked them in the face and it was the child they'd gone out of their way to protect, did they wish they'd killed him instead?My eyes closed at the thought of something that devastating happening to me. I couldn't even picture it.“How did he take the news?”Beta Valios shrugged. “He didn't even understand it. I'm guessing it had to do with how young he was. He did cry when he realized he'd never see his parents ever again, but the understanding of what had occurred didn't dawn on him until many years later.”“You make it sound like he was a child when it… happened.” I trailed off at the seriousness on his face. I wished I hadn't, but yet, I still did.“How old was he?”“Eight.”My jaw dropped. “That young?! How can he shift so early?!”“Lycans shift when their beasts are ready and mature enough to present themselves. Kairen's b

THIRD PERSON'S POVMerilyn rolled on the floor, writhing in pain. She'd never felt something as nerve-wracking as this. Her stomach clenched, her legs trembled even though she lay on her side, tears streamed down her face, her eyes blurred back and forth and her wolf howled deep inside her.Her beast seemed to be taking a bit of her pain, but even that wasn't enough to relieve the one shooting through every fibre of her being.She couldn't even scream for help and the mindlink couldn't work because she hadn't been accepted into the pack.Merilyn's eyes snapped open at the thought of Caigar standing outside her door. Her guard. She whimpered as loud as she could, tried to use her body to make some noise, but nothing happened.Lycans had super hearing; he should be able to hear her breathing.That could only mean one thing. Caigar wasn't at his usual duty post. Dread filled her and made her stomach drop.She was truly and utterly alone. Another wave of pain shot through her and Merilyn
