All Chapters of The Lycan King's Regret: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The sounds of the forest and rushing water are music to my ears as I sit on the riverbank as the sun sets. I have been out here for hours with my sketchbook and charcoal. My fingertips are black from smudging the charcoal on the page to blend it. Sitting here like this is one of my favorite ways to spend an afternoon. This is the first afternoon in the last few months that I have been able to get away. There is always some kind of training or classes during the day that prevents me from doing what I love. Creating sketches that will one day become paintings. My name is Syndra Broussard, and I am a lycan. My parents are the Alpha and Luna of our pack, Moon River. It is nestled deep in the forest just outside Kisatchie National Forest in Louisiana. To the outside world, it looks like a large hippie compound. To us, it is home to over five hundred lycans. My parents are training me and my two brothers to take over for them when they retire. So, our days are filled with combat t

Remi comes to stand next to me in the open closet doorway. The large walk-in closet is full of clothes that I detest, and he lets out a chuckle when he sees all the clothes that our mother had packed in there. He gives me a hug, then leaves my side. I can hear the thud of one suitcase as he moves it to the floor. Glancing over my shoulder, I see he is now lying on my bed with his arms up under his head and his feet crossed at the ankles. Why does he get to relax, and I have to pack? Lucky for him. “Pick out all the clothes you like and at least one that you know she would prefer. Wear that one on the first day. It will make both of you happy,” Remi tells me. His idea is good, and I was thinking the same thing. I let out a sigh, then start grabbing all the clothes that appeal to me and toss them over the back of the chair at my dressing table. It will take longer to decide on which outfit to pick that will appease my mother. “What brings you up here, Remi?” I ask him as I wa

Remi and I sat in the clearing for I am not sure how long, each lost in our own thoughts. Suddenly a bright light, almost like a spotlight straight from the moon, landed on the ground not too far from where we were sitting. The figure of a woman appeared before us. She is almost invisible but outlined in dimly lit stars. “Hello my children. I am Selune, a daughter of the moon. I have come to tell you of your destiny. As you have already figured out, you two are special wolves.” Remi nods his head as she talks. I open my mouth to ask all the questions that are running through my head, but Selune holds up her hand to stop me. I close my mouth, then nod my head to signal for her to continue. “I know you have questions, and I will try to answer them as best I can. For starters, let’s discuss your lycans.” Selune pauses as she looks at us. It is as if she knows I will try to ask those questions. “Dyna and Helios are twin souls that have always been destined for you. Since you two a

The ballroom, gardens, and terraces are filled with lycans from all over my kingdom. My lycan retreated to the back of my mind the moment I walked down the marble stairs that led me to the grand foyer. Lucky bastard. I greet my advisors, then make the rounds around the ballroom. The omegas in the castle did an amazing job with the décor, and I make a mental note to give them all bonuses. It took weeks of preparation to get the castle ready for this night. There are guards stationed at all entrances to the private sections of the house. During the last gala, we had a few guests wandering off and into places where they were not allowed. So, this time I stationed guards to prevent that from happening again. This palace is also my family’s home, and I really don’t want to find an unwanted guest in my room tonight. I know one unwanted visitor will not be a problem tonight since she is now in the dungeons. As I make my rounds through the ballroom, I am bombarded by alphas and their d

As I look down at Syndra, my beautiful mate, warning bells ring in my head. I should stop this before it goes any further. Yet, the need to claim her is so strong that it makes it virtually impossible to walk away. Syndra is so captivatingly beautiful that from the moment I saw her in the rose garden, I knew I could never walk away from her. Then we talked, and I saw past her outward beauty to the woman within. I want to possess every bit of her that I can. With her beneath me on the bed and Luc pushing against my mind to get free, I am in deep trouble. Despite the threats against my mate, I don’t want to stop. From the moment we entered my suite, I knew there would be only one way for this night to end, with Syndra naked beneath me as I claim her. Right now, with her tiny body pressed against mine, I don’t want any other outcome. I tear my mouth from hers and look down at her. Syndra’s eyes flutter open, and the heat in her eyes takes my breath away. After leaning back on my
