A Man Can't Be Queen

The crisp, arrogant click of Kane’s leather shoes against the marble steps sent a blinding flash of red across my vision.Every single muscle in my body violently locked. The air was sucked completely out of my lungs. Deep in the back of my mind, Fenris let out a feral, blood-curdling roar.It was Kane.He had actually infiltrated the Goldcrest Kingdom. He had manipulated his way into becoming the fated mate of the royal princess. Kane slowly shifted his ice-blue eyes away from Lyall. His gaze locked directly onto my pale face, and that gentle, refined smile widened into a deeply sinister, knowing smirk."Long time no see... Ren."The sheer, absolute audacity of his voice snapped the final thread of my restraint. Driven by the agonizing memories of my framed father, my murdered mother, and the ashes of my pack, I didn't think. I didn't hesitate.I lunged forward.My fist connected directly with Kane’s smug jaw with the devastating force of a wrecking ball.CRACK.The sickening sound of

He is useless. He cannot produce an heir

Bang!The massive oak doors slammed shut. The heavy wood completely silenced the furious shouts of the elders in the Grand Hall.For the first time all day, Lyall and I were entirely alone.The deafening silence of the royal bedchamber pressed heavily against my ears. I stood frozen in the center of the massive room. The blinding adrenaline that had kept me standing upright on the jade steps finally drained away. A crushing, suffocating wave of inadequacy crashed over my head.My knees gave out. I stumbled backward. My boots slipped on the highly polished marble floor."Ren." Lyall took a quick step forward. His large hands reached out to catch me.I violently flinched. I slapped his hands away and backed up until my spine hit the cold stone wall.My chest heaved. I could not breathe. The vicious, hateful words of the elders echoed relentlessly inside my skull.He is a man.He has a sealed wolf.He cannot produce an heir.They were right. Every single word they shouted in that hall wa

I will use Princess Eliana

Kane's POV"My love! Please, open your eyes!"A shrill, tearful voice pierced through the blinding pain in my skull. I forced my heavy eyelids open.The harsh white light of the royal infirmary pierced my eyelids. I forced them open. The sharp scent of medicinal herbs and rubbing alcohol flooded my nose. I tried to part my lips to speak. A violent shockwave of raw agony shot down my neck. Cold heavy metal wires held my teeth completely locked together. I tasted stale blood and copper on my tongue.That broken Omega actually dared to hit me. Ren had shattered my jaw. He humiliated me in front of the entire royal court.A blinding murderous rage boiled deep in my chest. I wanted to tear him apart. I wanted to rip his throat out with my bare hands. I manipulated my own pack. I killed my own father to secure my power. I did not survive the ashes of the Silver River just to be laid out on the marble stairs by a male Omega with a sealed wolf."Kane! Thank the Moon Goddess!"Princess Eliana

I had just found my golden ticket.

Vera's POVSplash!A bucket of freezing, murky water crashed violently against my knees, soaking straight through my thin, coarse servant's dress."Get back to work!" the Head Maid barked, her voice echoing harshly off the damp stone walls.She threw a filthy, foul-smelling rag directly at my face. I barely managed to catch it before it slapped against my nose. The icy water dripped down my shivering arms, sending a bone-deep chill through my entire body."You missed a spot on the grand staircase," the Head Maid sneered. She crossed her thick, muscular arms over her chest, glaring down at me with absolute disgust. "Scrub it again. You are not a guest here. You are a stray from a dead pack. If I see a single speck of dirt on this marble, you will not get any dinner tonight. Do I make myself clear?"I lowered my head, hiding the venomous hatred burning in my eyes, and gave a tight, subservient nod. The Head Maid turned her broad back and stomped heavily down the corridor, her keys jangl

Even if that person is your mother?

King Lyall’s POV"Report," I said as the heavy oak doors clicked shut. The thick wood completely cut off Ren’s soft trembling breaths.I stood alone in the grand corridor. The gentle warmth of my mate faded from my hands. My wolf clawed violently at the inside of my chest. I boiled with blinding fury from the disrespect in the Grand Hall.Beta Caspian waited a few paces away. His hand rested heavily on the hilt of his sword. His face was entirely grim."It is the elite vanguard," Caspian said in a low voice. ''They refuse to take their posts. They will absolutely not serve a King who breaks the sacred laws of the Goddess."I rolled my shoulders. My thick bones cracked loudly in the quiet hall.We marched away from the royal wing. We pushed through the massive iron gates of the western courtyard.Over two hundred heavily armed Lycan warriors stood in perfect formation on the dirt. They were seasoned veterans. These were the most lethal battle-hardened soldiers in all of Goldcrest. Thei

I am offering you my womb. I will bear the Lycan King's child in absolute secrecy

Vera's POVThe stone floor was cold against my bare feet. I crept out of the servant's quarters well past midnight, staying completely submerged in the shadows.I had spent the last two days scrubbing every inch of the grand corridors on my hands and knees. The cruel punishment had actually given me a massive advantage. My blistered fingers had mapped every crack in the marble, and my ears had memorized the exact timing of the elite guards' patrol routes.I waited for the heavy footsteps of a passing patrol to fade down the hall. Then, I slipped behind a heavy velvet tapestry and pressed my body into the narrow, hidden servant passages.These dark, claustrophobic tunnels ran directly behind the walls of the royal wing. They were designed so the high nobility would never have to look at the lowly maids lighting the fires. The air inside was stale and thick with dust. My heart pounded wildly against my ribs, echoing loudly in my own ears.I knew exactly what was at stake. If an elite gu

Vera, You are a very ambitious little rat

The Queen Mother finally stopped pacing. She stood towering over my kneeling figure, her shadow completely engulfing me in the dim light of the fire.The silence stretched until my lungs burned. Then, a cold, ruthless smirk pulled at the corner of her lips."You are a very ambitious little rat," she murmured, her voice dripping with equal parts disgust and dark approval. "To walk into the lion's den with such a treacherous proposition... it shows you have teeth. But remember this: you are nothing but a vessel. A temporary, invisible womb. If you ever dare to bare those teeth at me, I will have them pulled from your skull.""I am entirely yours to command, Your Grace," I whispered, keeping my eyes fixed firmly on the floorboards.She turned away and walked gracefully toward her massive, claw-footed mahogany desk. She reached beneath her heavy velvet robe and produced a small, ornate silver key from a chain around her neck. She slid it into a concealed lock hidden beneath the desk drawe
