All Chapters of Betrayed By My Alpha Fiance Claimed By My Lycan King: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

I stood in front of the gigantic door leading into Kael Draven's VIP sanctum. I didn't want to believe what awaited me inside.I was shaking at the thought of it alone. I squeezed my palm and inhaled deeply before I pushed the door open.I had hoped not to be part of the misery I'd written with my own golden ink. I was a paranormal/fantasy writer, and I knew what this meant. A female lead opening the door on her fated mate, only to be thrown into a chaos that would define her entire existence. I knew this plot too well. Or so I thought.I was just staring at my husband-to-be, half naked, with my stepsister Vale tangled up beside him on the VIP bed. I'd written hundreds of books with this same scene—described every feeling from instant anger to rage, from icy cold to instant regret.I was the master of my own game, but playing it felt surreal. I tried to talk and couldn't find my voice. Vale's face twitched with mockery while Kael's held nothing but indifference."You didn't tell me yo

"Who is this unmannered rogue barging into my presence?"Alaric's cold voice rang across the room."Talk of the devil," I mumbled under my breath. I couldn't contain the joy bubbling inside me as the scene unfolded before my eyes."Are you out of your mind, Vale? Who summoned you?" Kael barked at her.Pure joy enveloped my mind.Now let them turn on each other. Tear each other apart by the collars."I am just as important as Aria. I'm an Ashford too," she said as she closed the gap between us. "I have every right to be here.""Interesting."Alaric leaned back against his throne, a cold smile flashing across his face."And you are?" Alaric asked.The moment Vale stood in front of Alaric, everything in her body turned against her. She dared not look up as she kept her face lowered.The silence echoed louder than words. My mouth twitched with joy."Your Majesty, I am the second daughter of Alpha Silas Ashford, the second commander of the Silverpine Delta's army."My jaw dropped as low as

"My Lad—"Elena stopped the moment she saw me dragging myself into the office. The file in her hand slipped unto the table as she hurried over."What happened? she asked, searching my face. "You look exhausted ."I admit it.I hadn't slept a wink last night. I was awake the entire night thinking about what Elena had said."I think I know what happened to your mother."Those words were what I had been waiting to hear for the past three years."I'm fine." I reached for my coffee and took a slow sip. "See? Still alive. Now tell me, what happened to my mother?"Elena sighed and walked back to the table, picking up the file she'd almost dropped."My lady..." she began softly. "You should be taking care of yourself. The Luna selection is coming soon. You can't be looking like this and expect to be chosen," she said bitterly, as if she was the one getting married.I raised a brow."What if I don't want to be chosen? I asked. "Since when did we start living for men's approval?"She didn't repl

"You suck at this, Mom. Tomorrow is the Luna selection. I want to look my best."I could hear Vale's voice tearing the whole estate apart.My mind went clear as I remembered the next day was the fucking Luna selection.To me, it was nothing but a hassle. Unnecessary bonding and a whole lot of damn rites.I turned another page of the book I was reading.I called it reading, but reality called it escaping from the moment.If my paranormal characters saw me in this state of mind, they would feel vindicated.I almost chuckled at my silly thought.My phone rang.Elena."Beautiful morning, my lady. Your invitation to the Luna selection came in."I was baffled.It was supposed to be sent to the Ashford estate.Why was mine personally sent to me?My thoughts raced."Send it to me.""Okay, my lady. One more thing, a custom-made couture dress was sent in as well."Now, this wasn't a joke.My back straightened."Who sent it?""It was left by the door. There was no name on the invite either. I gu

Aria's POVThe cold wind blowing across the ballroom balcony was a refreshing contrast to the chaos I had created for Vale.Isolde and Father had taken her to the Ashford lounge inside the ballroom villa to tend to her bruised lips.I kept recalling the petrified look on her face, and I couldn't stop laughing.I sounded evil.But hell had shown me far worse at the hands of Isolde."Aren't you enjoying the show a little more than usual?"His masculine voice spoke from behind me.It sounded too familiar, like I had heard it countless times before."Nice to finally see you again, my niece."Cassius Voss.He was taller than I remembered. I had always imagined him as an older man. But the man standing before me was on the same level as Alaric when it came to beauty.I didn't know why Alaric was suddenly in almost every one of my thoughts.But I couldn't stop thinking about him."Aren't you happy to see me, my little girl?"His face filled my view as he bent down.I coughed and took a step
