A Second Chance For My Lycan King Hating the Lycan’s Beta
Jade’s POVI stood in the kitchen, stirring the pan and flipping a few pieces of chicken sizzling on the stove. The sharp scent of garlic and herbs filled the air as I cooked. The maids hadn't even looked my way all morning or even made us breakfast, making it clear they were under strict orders from Luna Jessica and Emilia to ignore me and Jameson. I hate them. All of them.Once I was done cooking, I set down a plate and began to dish out the food. I was interrupted by footsteps behind me and I turned my head, expecting to see one of the maids, but instead, a tall, broad-shouldered man strolled in, his shirt slung over one shoulder, revealing a muscular torso. His dark hair was messy but in that effortless, intentional way.I raised my brow and he headed straight to the fridge, ignoring my existence as if I was a ghost. Who the hell did he even think he was? And why was he walking around freely, like he owned the place. I watched as he pulled out a cold bottle of water and cracked
A Second Chance For My Lycan King A Partnership with Aiden Knight
Eve’s POVEarly that morning, I had made my way to Aiden’s company and when I reached his office, his assistant welcomed me. "Mr. Knight is in a meeting, but I'll let him know you're here.” She said to me before leaving me alone in his luxury, spacious office. A few moments later, Aiden joined me in his office where I was still seated and waiting, surprise written all over his face.“Luna Eve? This is quite an unexpected visit.” He sent me a charming smile as he took his seat opposite me, separated only by the desk in front of us. “You know, for a moment, I thought that my assistant was trying to pull my legs.” “My apologies for the unexpected visit.” I said to him and he waved it off with a flick of his wrist.“Come on now. It’s not a problem. So, tell me, Luna Eve. To what do I owe this visit?” I exhaled deeply and met his gaze head-on. I’ve got this. I’ve got this. “I want to work with you.”My statement caused Aiden to blink, clearly not expecting the words that had just com
A Second Chance For My Lycan King The Luna’s Invitation
Eve’s POVAs soon I arrived at Stefan’s mansion, I was greeted by the sight of Emilia storming toward me, eyes blazing with anger and hatred. “You stinking bitch!”I rolled my eyes to myself. What now?But before I could voice out my thoughts, Emilia reached me and a sharp slap echoed across the hall as Emilia’s hand connected with my cheek. The forces and pain caused me to stumble back a step and my face stung from the blow.My eyes widened with shock and rage as I straightened my posture to stare at her again, my hand feeling the affected cheek. “Are you insane?! Have you gone mad?!” I screamed at Emilia but she wasn’t done. In a flash, she grabbed a glass of wine from a passing servant and, without hesitation, threw it in my face. I gasped as the cold liquid soaked through my hair and clothes, dripping down my skin and leaving me utterly humiliated in front of everyone. What the fuck was she doing?“You filthy omega!” Emilia spat, her voice loud enough to draw the attention of e
A Second Chance For My Lycan King The Ring Thief
Eve’s POVThe next morning, Jade escorted me out of the mansion with Luna Jessica and two of her maids ahead of us, heading towards the convoy. Even today, it still felt surreal that Luna Jessica wanted me to go shopping with her.“I still don’t think this is a good idea,” Jade said with a sigh and voice laced with concern and doubt as we neared the convoy. “You and Luna Jessica don’t exactly have the best history. Why is she suddenly inviting you out for a shopping trip? It feels…off.”I sent Jade another reassurance smile, even though it didn’t really come from my heart. I was having the same thoughts as her. “I’ll be fine, Jade. It’s just shopping. Nothing can go wrong there, right?” I was lying. Because the truth was that even I wasn't entirely sure what to expect.Jade still looked unconvinced but nodded reluctantly. “Just…be careful. Call me if anything seems weird, okay?” “I’ll be fine.” I assured her, squeezing her hand and flashing her another smile. “Don’t worry. It’s just
A Second Chance For My Lycan King A Lycan’s Rage
Stefan's POVI stepped out of the limousine as soon as it rolled into my mansion and parked. My guards walked behind me as I approached the entrance of the mansion. The council meeting had been tedious, but I didn’t mind as long as I had used that opportunity to bring forth the coup that happened Moonsong pack. Even though progress was a bit slow, I was getting closer to helping Eve get back her pack. The sight of a woman storming towards me from inside the mansion caught my attention and I slowed down my pace, waiting for her to reach me. Once she got closer, I saw that it was Jade. And she looked quite angry too, but she didn’t seem to care even in the face of me and my guards.I raised an eyebrow, surprised by her boldness, but from the look of things, it seemed like she wasn't the type to let intimidation deter her.As she came closer, looking like a bull who was about to lurch on me the next second, my guards tried to stand between me and her but I lifted a hand, signaling them
A Second Chance For My Lycan King The Apology
Eve’s POVEver since I got home yesterday, I had hid myself inside my room, refusing to talk to Jade or even explain to her the reason why I had come home after my shopping with the Luna, with tattered clothes and a tear -stricken face. It was this morning that Jade had come across the video in the media and it annoyed the crap out of me when she told me that she had confronted Stefan about it once he had gotten back from his trip.“I never asked you to tell him about it!” I was mad angry at her as I glared at her while she paced around the room. I was so damn tired of people thinking they needed to swoop in and fix my life for me.Jade stopped pacing. Her eyes flashed with anger, and she threw her hands up. “You’re damn right I told him! What was I supposed to do, huh? Just sit back and let them treat you like that? After everything you’ve been through?”I clenched my jaw. Why the hell was she always so stubborn?“I don’t need saving, Jade. I’m not some damsel in distress that Stefa
A Second Chance For My Lycan King Have We Met Before?
Stefan’s POvMy mother walked closely beside me, her hand lightly brushing my arm as we made our way to my awaiting convoy. Earlier, she had approached me and apologized for what she had done to Eve. Like sincerely apologized and for the first time in what felt like hundreds of years, there was no tension between us. My mother apologizing and admitting her mistake was a rare sight.“I shouldn’t have treated her that way.” She said to me for the hundredth time as we walked. Her tone was soft and sincere. “I went too far, Stefan. I see that now.”I stopped for a moment, turning to face her. It had been so long since I had seen my mother like this. Open. Vulnerable. “I know, Mother. And I appreciate you apologizing to her. It means a lot. And I hope you learn to get along with her someday.”She nodded, her lips tugging into a small smile. The type of smile that I hadn’t seen in far too long. “You know, I have been thinking. I really don’t want this tension between us anymore, Stefan. Y
A Second Chance For My Lycan King A Day at the Park
Eve’s POVI walked out of the cafe with Stefan walking closely behind me. I couldn’t believe it. One moment, I was just trying to get a damn coffee, and the next, I was being kicked out for ‘causing a disturbance,’ all because Stefan decided to play the knight in shining armor. Again!I shot him a look as we stepped onto the street. He was smirking, like he found the whole thing amusing.“Do you always have to cause a scene everywhere you go?” He chuckled, shoving his hands into his pockets. “Me? I wasn’t the one ready to throw punches in there. I literally saved your ass.”“I wasn’t going to throw punches. I had it under control. You are the one who turned it into some action movie.”Stefan raised an eyebrow. “Looked to me like he was about to hit you.”I huffed, trying not to let him get under my skin, but of course, he was good at it. “I didn’t need your help, Stefan. I don’t need you swooping in every time something happens.”He laughed like this was all some joke to him. “Ung

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
A Second Chance For My Lycan King A New Alpha
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
A Second Chance For My Lycan King Gone Gone Best Friend
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
A Second Chance For My Lycan King The Big Fight
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
