Eve’s POV

The next morning, Stefan drove me to Broken Moon Kingdom. The way I felt as we drove through the kingdom today was completely in contrast with the way I felt the first time I set foot here just a week ago. The first time, I was excited and completely in awe. This time, I found myself feeling a little anger and irritation towards this place. These people who cared only about themselves and viewed others as abominations.

Once we arrived at the castle, we were greeted by the guards who led us to the grand hall, where Queen Morwenna seated on her throne. Stefan stepped in first and Queen Morwenna’s gaze fixed to him, regal and chilled as always. As I stepped into the room after Stefan, her eyes shifted to me and her expression faltered.

For a brief second, I saw something I had never seen in her before. Weakness. Vulnerability. Her cold exterior cracked, just a little.

“Lycan Stefan.” She rose up from her throne and bowed her head before him briefly. “To what do I owe this un

  • A Second Chance For My Lycan King    The Good-Bad Boy

    Jade’s POVAs I helped the maids bake some cakes and sweet treats in the kitchen, I watched Jameson measure out a scoop of flour with a level of concentration that was downright adorable. “You’re doing amazing, Jameson. Here’s your little reward for your hard work.” I grinned as I reached over and swiped a little flour onto my finger and booped his nose with it, leaving a white spot on the top.“Aunt Jade!” he gasped as laughed, rubbing his nose with the back of his hand but only managing to smear the flour across his cheek instead. I snorted, and the maids around us started chuckling, shaking their heads.“Eve.” A familiar voice called my attention and I turned around to see Apollo by the doorway. He was leaning against the doorframe with a smile playing on his lips. “Got a moment?” “Yeah…yeah. Uhm… sure.” I stuttered and quickly wiped my face that had some stains of flour before looking down at his disappointed face. “I’ll be right back, sweetie. Be a good boy and don’t bother t

  • A Second Chance For My Lycan King    The Last Straw Broke the Camel’s Back

    Jade’s POVWhen I left Apollo’s room, I couldn’t keep the grin off my face. I felt light, like I was floating down the hallway instead of walking and my cheeks were warm from blushing. I could still feel the ghost of his touch, and I was still in shock by the fact that he, of all people, had never been with a woman before and that I was his first.I was the first woman he had ever made love to. I felt like doing a happy dance. It was so crazy to see his vulnerability and that underneath his whole confident, rebellious exterior was a shy, sweet guy who was unsure but trusting me enough to let me guide him.Wait till Eve hears about this. She wouldn’t believe it. As I reached the kitchen, humming a tune under my breath, I frowned at the absence of Jameson. Where did he go? He had been here before I left with Apollo. My eyes scanned the entire kitchen for a sign of his small frame but he was nowhere in sight. Only the maids were here, cleaning up and finishing their tasks.“Where’s Ja

  • A Second Chance For My Lycan King    With Love, From Karma

    Jade’s POVWhen we reached Emilia’s room, Luna Jessica didn’t even knock. She threw the doors open, and we stormed in with the servant following meekly behind us.Before us, Emilia was stretched out in a pink, plush chair, her bare feet soaking in a foot bath. A maid was kneeling beside her and carefully applying polish to her toenails. She seemed to be enjoying herself as she sipped delicately from her glass of wine, her head tilted back in relaxation.The anger in me heightened. The audacity of this bitch to be enjoying herself as what she had heartless to a child!Emilia lifted her gaze to see us and met with me and Luna Jessica’s cold glares. My stomach twisted in irritation as she pasted a sweet smile on her face. It was a smooth veneer that would have fooled anyone who didn’t know what lay beneath. “Luma Jessica. I wasn’t expecting you. And who are those… commoners that just came in with you?”Luna Jessica did not say a word yet and instead, she stepped aside to signal for the

  • A Second Chance For My Lycan King    Not a Coincidence?

    Stefan’s POVThe waiting room was painfully silent except for the sound of Eve’s sobs, each one a small, jagged sound that shattered the stillness. I held her close to me, my arms wrapped around her. My heart broke seeing her this way and imagining the kind of pain that Jameson would be experiencing right now.I wished I could go in there and hug him too. To ease away all of his pains. But I couldn’t. I could feel Eve’s fears as she sobbed in my arms. I felt helpless, wishing I could do something to stop both of their pains. But there was nothing I could do except to stay beside her and be strong for her. “Eve.” I murmured, stroking her hair in what I hoped was a comforting way, even though I was not sure it was working. “Jameson might be a little boy but he is one hell of a strong kid. He is going to make it and the doctors are going to help him make sure of that.” Eve looked up at me, her eyes red-rimmed and desperate. She had been crying ceaselessly ever since we got here almos

    Eve’s POVJameson recovered quicker than I thought he would and a few days later, we returned to the packhouse. Once we alighted from Stefan’s car, I noticed the group waiting outside. Luna, Jade and Apollo were in front of the group and as soon as Jameson’s feet touched the ground, his face broke into a grin and he scrambled, practically catapulting himself toward Jade.“Aunt Jade!”“Jameson!” She squealed and rushed forward. She wrapped him in a hug that was so tight, it almost looked like she might squeeze the breath right out of him.“How’re you feeling, sweetie?” She asked him and he raised his shoulder in a bit of boyish pride. “I feel better. See? I’m strong. Nothing can take me down.”Jade laughed and I smiled, shaking my head as I got out of the car. My gaze met with Luna Jessica’s and I saw how her eyes softened with relief. Jade’s arms loosened around Jameson, and she walked up to me, her eyes now turning teary and carrying guilt. “I’m so sorry, Eve.” She wrapped her ar

  • A Second Chance For My Lycan King    A Family Reunion

    Eve’s POVThat night, I had the most peaceful night sleep with my arms wrapped tightly around Jameson who slept peacefully in my arms. His gentle breaths gave me a kind of peace I could never get elsewhere. The next morning, I was awakened by the golden morning light that filtered through the curtains. As my eyes fluttered open, I reached out to space beside me, expecting to find Jameson curled up in a little ball like he sometimes did, with Jade keeping watch nearby. But the room was quiet, too quiet, and Jameson was nowhere in sight. A twinge of panic shot through me and I immediately swung my legs out of bed. The silence felt unnaturally thick and I pulled on a robe over my silky night dress. My heart pounded a little faster. “Jameson.” I checked the bathroom but he was not there. “Jade?” I proceeded to check Jade’s en-suite bedroom but she wasn’t there either. All that greeted me was total silence and somehow, it scared the shit out of me.Not again. I slipped into the hallw

  • A Second Chance For My Lycan King    The Moonbeams

    Eve’s POVThe mess of clothes in front of me was getting out of hand. I couldn’t believe I would ever be this nervous over clothes. Tops, dresses, and jackets were strewn across the bed, even spilling over the dresser. I picked up a black, elegant dress, one that I had worn exactly once, and held it up to my chest. It was silky, fitted, and… sophisticated. That should work, right? But as I examined it in the mirror, trying to picture myself in a crowd of concertgoers, I felt a familiar twinge of doubt creep in. Ugh. It was so difficult picking a proper outfit for this concert. And I couldn’t completely blame myself. I had never been to a concert before in my entire life. Then Jade’s voice suddenly cut through my thoughts. “You’ve got to be kidding me.” She was standing in the doorway with her arms crossed over her chest, looking at me like I had suggested going to the concert in a ball gown.I turned, letting the dress dangle from my hand. “What?”“Eve, that’s what you wear to

    Eve’s POVThe question felt like a slap.“When were you planning on telling me that Jameson is my son?”I blinked and my heart hammered against my chest. The way he looked at me, I could see the excitement from earlier had been wiped away and was now replaced with what looked like a mixture of anger and betrayal. Fuck. I had screwed up, hadn’t I? I gulped and stammered. "Stefan, I… I can explain..."“Explain?” He scoffed, cutting me off before I could even finish my sentence. “You think there’s anything you could say that would justify keeping my own son from me?” He took a step forward, his face tight with a fury I had to see. “So, tell me. When were you planning to tell me, Eve? How long did you think you could hide something like this?”My mind was a hot mess now and words tangled in my throat as I reached out instinctively to touch him. “Please, Stefan, just let me…”He pulled his hand back sharply, stepping away from me as if my touch was a threat. “Don’t.” He warned me.

  • A Second Chance For My Lycan King    My perfectly chaotic life

    Eve’s POVTWO YEARS LATERAs the midday sun cast a gentle warmth over the packhouse, I moved around the garden, directing the maids with the final touches for our lunch setup. I was engrossed in the details, ensuring that every plate was perfectly placed and every napkin was folded just so. Across the yard, Jameson was playing and practicing his newfound powers by sending tiny ripples through the grass and shifting little pebbles in the air. I glanced at his direction and a small smile crossed my lips. But that didn’t stop me from calling him and reprimanding him.“Jameson. Careful, okay? You’ll wear yourself out.”He stopped and sent me a mischievous grin that spread across his face. The older he was getting, the more he looked just like Stefan. The resemblance was uncanny. “I won’t, Mommy! I’m strong!”I laughed, shaking my head. “Yes, you’re very strong, but don’t go overboard. You don’t want to spend the afternoon recovering, do you?”He gave me a proud, stubborn look before tu

  • A Second Chance For My Lycan King    The Honeymooners

    Eve’s POVI woke up slowly, stretching out my arm across the bed, expecting to feel Stefan’s warmth beside me. Instead, my hand brushed empty sheets. My heart fell in disappointment and I sighed, blinking my eyes open to the early morning light filtering in through the window. The waves crashed softly outside, tempting me to go back to sleep. But Stefan’s absence pulled me out of bed. It was a week after our mating ceremony and we were on our honeymoon at Stefan’s private beach house. Apollo and Jade were here too as it was a double honeymoon.Rubbing the last bits of sleep from my eyes, I slid out from under the covers, my feet brushing the cool wood floors as I padded toward the door. My steps were lazy, still a little groggy from waking up, but I kept walking. As I opened the door and stepped outside the beach house, the faint smell of smoke and something savory and delicious reached me. And there he was, standing over a barbecue grill with Apollo and Jade beside him, the three

  • A Second Chance For My Lycan King    The mating ceremony

    Stefan’s POVI stood at the altar, my hands clasped in front of me, trying to steady the slow hum of nerves thrumming beneath my skin. Beside me, Apollo shifted, glancing over his shoulder at the door for what had to be the tenth time in as many minutes. The place was filled with soft chatter and expectant whispers, and anyone could feel the excitement and anticipation in the air. Apollo gave a low whistle, nudging me with his elbow. “I still can’t believe it, Stefan. Your aura point is literally a thousand out of a hundred. You bagged one of the realm’s most beautiful women.”I chuckled softly under my breath. “Well, you don’t have to sound so shocked. I’ve always had my way with women.”Apollo shrugged and a smirk danced on his lips. “Honestly, I thought you would end up with someone a lot more intimidated by you. Not Eve. She matches you in every way.”I smirked back at him, unable to hold back my satisfaction. “Trust me, Apollo, I know exactly what I’m in for. And besides, I

  • A Second Chance For My Lycan King    Two Magical Queens

    Eve’s POVThe entire room was buzzing with life, not just the room but the packhouse and the entire realm in a whole. Around Jade and I, stylists fluttered around us, adjusting and smoothing out the lace on our sleeves and adding the final touches to our intricate updo. The entire space felt surreal. A room of mirrors, flowers, and stylists. We were getting ready for our big moments.It was the mating ceremony of Jade and I. Because Apollo and Stefan had proposed to the both of us on the same day, they had arranged for the mating ceremony to be held together and to be honest, that was the best thing that Jade and I could have ever asked for. Just me and my best friend, side by side in a place we never thought we would be.As the stylists and makeup artists worked on me, I glanced over at Jade, catching her in the mirror. Her gaze was distant and thoughtful as she stared at her reflection. Her gown was breathtaking. It was a cascade of ivory lace that spilled around her like a soft, sh

    Eve’s POVWhen Stefan returned to the room again, he was carrying a tray of food and my mouth practically watered at the sight of it. He set it gently on my laps. “Breakfast in bed. How romantic!” I blinked at him, musing and teasing as I picked up the cutleries.M“I know right? Give me my flowers.” There was a tinge of pride visibly in his voice as he sat down beside me again.On the tray sat a spread that looked straight out of a gourmet magazine with eggs that were perfectly golden, buttery toast, and a delicate arrangement of fresh berries. The aroma filled the room and as I perceived the aroma, I shut my eyes briefly and hummed. This was the kind of breakfast that promised the start of a good day.I finally dug in, savoring the first bite. It tasted just as good as it looked, and I couldn’t help but smile impressively at Stefan again. For the second time, his breakfast had blown my mind again. I guess he was never bluffing when he said he was a good cook.“This is amazing, Stef

  • A Second Chance For My Lycan King    Double Proposals

    Jade’s POVApollo’s room was a stark contrast to the way it was the first time that he had brought me here. It was not filled with his shy laughter or the way he talked about his art, or the sounds of our moans as we made love for the first time. It was quiet. Too quiet, save for the soft rustle of pages as I turned them. I was seated at Apollo’s bedside while he was lying unconscious on the bed. His arm and the side of his stomach where he had been wounded was bandaged. Even though he was lying peacefully, I couldn’t forget the pain he had passed through last night when they had brought him and Eve back to the packhouse. Thankfully, we had Queen Morwenna around and she had saved both of them. Since that night, I had remained in his room and close to his bedside. The only times I excused myself from him for a moment were the times that I had gone to check in on Eve too. It ached my heart that the two people who were most precious to me were hurting at the same time and there was

  • A Second Chance For My Lycan King    Nostalgia

    Eve’s POVI opened my eyes slowly, squinting against the soft and muted light filtering in through the window. As my eyes scanned the familiar walls of my room, I felt a sense of deja vu and nostalgia. This wasn’t the first time I was waking up in my room like this. Or even the second. It had become almost like a routine. This room had become a marker of survival. I had lost count of how many times that I had woken up here, teetering somewhere between life and death, and with my body piecing itself back together. And each time, I half-expected that maybe I wouldn’t make it, that this would be the end. Yet, here I was again, breathing, alive.As if reading my thoughts, a familiar low, amused voice murmured beside me. “You’ve died and come back to life so many times now that I’m starting to think you’re immortal.”I blinked, my gaze sliding over to the side of the bed where Stefan sat with a faint smile on his dangerously handsome face. He was holding a tiny brush in his hand, and focu

    Stefan’s POV“Eve! No!” I screamed at the same time that Eve’s body collapsed to the ground. A chill raced through my spine and I stared wide eyed, unable to believe that Lukas had got her just in one second that I had looked away.“Fuck!” I rushed to her, scooping my body into my arms. Blood pooled around her and her eyes were shut now with her skin now turning pale. Tears clouded my vision as I held her body closer, my heart shattering to pieces.How could I have missed this? How could I have failed to protect her when I promised her that? How? “My apologies, Stefan. And like I said the other time, there are no hard feelings involved. This is for my own political interest.” Lukas’ voice coming from behind me made the hurt I was feeling to turn into rage. Hot, flaming rage. I lifted my gaze to meet him, glaring at him through blood red eyes. I was going to kill him. There was no way he would get out of this alive. As if betraying me wasn’t enough for him, he had gone ahead to touch

    Eve’s POV“Attack!” Stefan’s battle cry came and in an instant, his soldiers shifted seamlessly into their ferocious wolf forms and with a thunderous cry, they surged forward and towards Vesper’s men who had also shifted into their wolf forms. Apollo was at their helm with his brown fur glinting as he launched himself into the chaos. Within seconds, Stefan’s soldiers and Vesper’s men clashed and the battle began.“Remember what I told you yesterday.” Stefan turned his gaze to me. The expression on his face was the most serious that I had ever seen him. “When I tell you to run, you fucking run. Understand me?”“I understand.” I nodded my head at him and my heart melted as he gave me a quick kiss on the forehead before unsheathing his silver sword and headed straight for Vesper who was waiting for him with a dark, amused smile on his face. “I still don’t get why you’re doing all these for that slut.” I heard Vesper yell to Stefan over the noise of the battle clash and howls as he prod
