All Chapters of Pregnant and Rejected, The Lycan King's Obsession: Chapter 1 - Chapter 6

The glowing eyes didn't blink. They multiplied — one pair became five, five became ten — until the forest around her was ringed with silent shapes hidden between the pines.Scarlett's heart slammed against her ribs. Her wolf, still raw from the rejection, wouldn't answer her call. Nothing. She had never felt so alone.Rain fell harder, soaking her blue dress until it clung to her skin, plastering her hair to her face as she backed away slowly."Who's there?" she called, forcing steel into her voice.Only the wind answered.Then came the growl — low, deep, close. A massive gray wolf stepped from the trees, amber eyes glowing unnaturally in the dark. Another emerged beside it. Then another. These weren't rogues; they moved with discipline, circling her like trained hunters. She spun, searching for a gap, but wolves closed in from every side. There was no path out.One bared its teeth. Scarlett stumbled back until her shoulders hit the rough bark of an old oak."So this is how it ends,"

Scarlett's hand slipped from Damian's grip.The housekeeper's words still rang through the entrance hall. *The room has been prepared for Lady Blackwood.*Lady Blackwood? She stared at the woman, waiting for her to laugh it off, to admit she'd confused Scarlett with someone else. The laugh never came. Instead, every servant in the hall lowered their heads.Scarlett turned slowly to Damian. "What did she just call me?"He peeled off his rain-soaked gloves and handed them to a waiting butler without meeting her eyes. "Come inside.""No." Her voice cracked through the marble foyer, sharp enough to startle the staff. "I asked you a question."The housekeeper waved the servants away with a quiet gesture, and within seconds the hall emptied. Only Scarlett and Damian remained, the silence between them heavier than the storm outside."You've lied to me since the moment we met.""I haven't.""You knew my name.""Yes.""You knew my mother.""Yes.""You knew people were hunting me.""Yes.""And

"There you are."The stranger's voice was calm, but it sent a chill through Scarlett's body.Dust filled the entrance hall as broken pieces of wood and stone covered the marble floor. The air smelled of smoke.Scarlett had never seen the man before.Yet the way he looked at her made her feel as if he had been searching for her for years.Damian took one step forward and stood in front of her."You shouldn't be here," he said.The stranger smiled."I've waited twenty-three years. A few broken doors won't stop me."His eyes never left Scarlett.She swallowed."Who are you?"He ignored her question."You look just like your mother."Scarlett's heart skipped a beat."You knew my mother?"The man's smile grew wider."I knew her better than most people."Before Scarlett could ask another question, Damian spoke again."Leave now."The stranger slowly turned to him."You still give orders like a king.""I gave you a warning.""And I'm refusing it."The room became silent.Neither man moved.N
