A fresh start with the Lycan king Drapes
MAGNUS POVDespite my initial irritation with Sophie and my actions, I found myself thinking of her and considering granting her request to be free. I realized that confining her within the castle wouldn't do her or our relationship any good. Sure enough, as if summoned by my thoughts, she appeared suddenly heading in my direction.As she approached me, I couldn't help but feel a wave of exhaustion wash over me. The day had been stressful as it was and I wasn't in the mood for more demands."What is it now, Sophie?" I sighed, my fingers massaging my temples in a futile attempt to ease the tension building up between us.She met my gaze with an unwavering determination. "Magnus, I understand your concern for my safety, but I can't remain confined within these walls like a prisoner. I need to explore the kingdom, understand its people, and embrace my role as Luna. I promise I'll exercise caution."Her words tugged at my conflicting emotions. On one hand, I wanted to protect her from any
A fresh start with the Lycan king Stalker
SOPHIE POVMagnus's stern tone did not deter me. I stood my ground, determined to make him hear me out even if it meant I had to nag."Magnus, I appreciate your concern, but I can't stay confined here like a prisoner. I need to learn about this kingdom, its people, and its customs. How can I be a fair and just Luna if I don't understand the world I'm ruling?"He sighed, clearly torn between his protective instincts and my desire for freedom. "Sophie, it's not just about your safety. There are political rivalries, old grudges, and secrets that could put you in danger.""I understand that, but I can't let fear control my life," I replied, my voice steady. "I promise to be careful, I already have a guard with me who communicates back with you in real time about my whereabouts."Magnus regarded me with a conflicted expression. "Alright, but I'll choose the guard who'll accompany you. I don't trust Erik of a person. And you'll report to me about your activities every day. I can't afford t
A fresh start with the Lycan king The lion's den
MAGNUS POVI was seated in the office nursing a dry gin drink in my hand while immersed in my thoughts. In front of me was Luke who was giving his monthly report of the kingdom. I tried my best to look interested but I had zoned out few minutes into the conversation. Oblivious to this, he rambled on and I did my best to look engaged by occasionally nodding and muttering my assent to what he was saying.Something he said caught my attention and brought me back to the present."Come again, what did you say?" "Have you been listening to anything I've been saying,""Yes of course, I just missed what you said now. Repeat yourself,"He knew better than to push the matter, he just heaved a sigh out of exasperation and went on."I said that the council and the people in general are fearful as to the queen whereabouts. Somehow words have gotten out that she had gone to join up with Kal Fang forces. A statement from you now will soothe them.""I think it's that cursed Maximus and his big mout
A fresh start with the Lycan king The bomb scare
MAGNUS POVWe drove through the open gate and into Kal Fang's territory. The place was even more desolate than I had imagined which was really saying something considering what we had witnessed on our way here. It gradually got better as we approached the castle though. If the scenery outside had been to intimidate, then these right here was to appeal to the sense of visitors and a showoff of wealth. Not that they had much of it compared to my kingdom judging from the decor.We finally reached the castle, which was a dark and imposing structure that looked like it had been built out of black stone. It was surrounded by a high wall and a moat filled with murky water at the right. It was a ghastly sight to behold the more I saw it. I could see guards patrolling the walls and the grounds, and they all looked like they were ready to kill at a moment's notice.We stopped the car in front of the castle entrance, and I got out. Luke and Bryce followed closely behind me. We walked up to the e
A fresh start with the Lycan king Test results
SOPHIE POVErik continually kept guard outside my room, where he made sure I was safe and sound before leaving but I couldn't still shake the feeling that I was being watched. Even though I knew that Erik was nearby, I was still fidgety and made sure I locked the door twice before I went to bed. In bed sleep wouldn't come fast enough and I was always rolling for long without falling asleep.I kept thinking about the shadowy figure I had seen in the forest. Who was that and what did they want? I considered telling Magnus, but I didn't want to worry him. He already had enough on his plate. It would just make him further restrict me from going anywhere and I didn't want that. He was even more focused on work and he dwelt on whatever kept him occupied for long. It made him keep late nights which had made me move out of his room till whenever he summoned me there.I decided to keep my own counsel and be more vigilant. I would start carrying a concealed silver weapon with me at all times an
A fresh start with the Lycan king Pregnant
SOPHIE POVMagnus's eyes widened in surprise when I told him that I was pregnant. He stood up and walked over to me, taking my hands in his."Are you sure about this?" he asked."Yes," I said. "I went to see the pack doctor today.""You did what? Remember what happened then, why didn't you tell me? Anyway come here," He finally said, his face breaking into a smile as he pulled me into a hug."I can't believe it," he said, patting me on the back. "We're going to have a baby."I hugged him back, feeling relieved that he was happy about the news. I had been worried about how he would react, but he was clearly excited."I'm so happy for you, Sophie," he said. "This is the best news I've heard in a long time."I smiled. "I'm happy too."Magnus released me from the hug and looked at me seriously."We will protect him with all of our might," he said. "I will love and protect our child with all my heart."I smiled at him. "I know you will but how do you know it's a boy," I said, looking slyly
A fresh start with the Lycan king A dream
SOPHIE POVTears welled up in my eyes as I looked at the wolf with the star-shaped streak on its forehead. I knew for a certainty that it was my mother. It seemed that she had reached out to me from the depths of my subconscious. It felt like a profound and spiritual connection and I wondered if she truly was the one."My child, how have you been?," She asked further confirming my suspicions. It was truly my mum."I'm tired of everything mum, my life here hasn't been very easy. I miss you and father. I have no relative here to care for me," I said, nuzzling her fur as I relaxed on her body."You've been strong for too long, take it easy dear. Besides you now have a mate that cherishes you, your life could be worse.""I know you won't like it but try and get along with your sister. There's a reason she doesn't like you,""Don't you think you should give her this same advice. I can't force her to like me. She never has so why now.""That's for you both to figure out. Find out who you are
A fresh start with the Lycan king An old flame
SOPHIE POVI took a step back, my eyes scanning the room quickly for any weapon or sharp object available to protect myself. Unfortunately, my search proved futile."Stay back. My bodyguard is around here, I'll scream for help if you come any closer," I said edging towards the door which was now shut behind me."You knew about this and led me here? Tell me you're not working for him, shame on you for using Bella as a lure to get me here" I said turning to Zelda who was silently watching us in the corner."No, I'm not. Sorry about that, Bella is at my sister's place today. Magnus is an old friend of mine, we go way back. I made him swear that he wouldn't hurt you, just hear him out.""Like that means anything," I said with a sneer. Jax had hurt me enough in the past so I knew better than to trust him now. I wondered how he knew Zelda, perhaps they had met in the annual gala or she had schooled with us when we were little. Not that I remembered her face. They could be lovers, not that I

A fresh start with the Lycan king The End
SOPHIE POVI looked up with a sigh at the old decrepit building before knocking the door and I went in buoyed by a prompt from inside. I was nervous as it had taken me a long time to trace this location and now that I was here, it felt unreal. I was finally going to find out the truth. I was ushered into what I presumed to be a matron's office by a nun wearing a long gray habit. "The matron will be with you shortly. I hope you find what you came here for" She said with a wave before stepping out leaving me alone with my thoughts and the tired creaking fan above.I was trying hard to forget Magnus. There was a joint burial the previous week for them both. It wasn't still clear how they died. My guess was that they had been poisoned in their cells. Our enemies were also within the castle. Magnus' mother was right though, Kal Fang was no threat to us again, my guess was that he had been placated with Magnus' death. He might be the one behind it.With the death of the Alpha king and his
A fresh start with the Lycan king Prelude
SOPHIE POVThe next day, I found myself thinking back to what the Queen had done the previous day and how she had stood her ground against the whole council. I wasn't sure I could do that and succeed. I would be eaten alive by all of them. Whatever she had done or not done, there was no denying her influence among them.So it was that I found myself heading to her room when I was done freshening up for the day. There were more guards around her room than other places. Magnus must have given them orders to watch her closely. He had still not trusted her fully. I hesitated then knocked gently on her door. There was no reply and I knocked again. Perhaps my first attempt had been too feeble."Who is it," I heard her ask from inside."It's Luna Sophie," I answered back. There was a long pause before she replied."Come in," She said at last.She sounded surprised which I knew she would. On normal occasions, we couldn't stand each other's company. No doubt, she was wondering what I was her
A fresh start with the Lycan king The agitators
SOPHIE'S POV I was in the room, thinking about how to help King Magnus. I had called a lot of people for advice none of their suggestions worked for me. It was far too dangerous and I didn't want any harm toward my man. I breathed out loudly and lowered my head, it was frustrating and I hated the situation. This was the same man I had waited for when Luke was ruling, I had hoped he would return one day and make me happy again but to my deepest regret, I had forgotten that he might have gone through a lot and things were difficult for him too. If only I was a little wiser, I could have stopped him when he decided to call for a meeting immediately after his recovery and I could have taken care of more things before he woke up so his mind would be relaxed by the time he opened his eyes. Things wouldn't have been so difficult for him and he could have been happy now, filled with a lot of enjoyment at the moment instead of what he was going through. I felt bad toward him and I felt bad
A fresh start with the Lycan king Feverish mind
MAGNUS' POV Everything was becoming dimmer in my head, I was unable to process the things that were happening to me but one thing was clear and that was the fact that I was among enemies. All of them hated me, they all wanted to kill me and were only being nice because I was so quiet these days. After what Luke did to me, many others wanted to try the same thing and in the end, they might succeed just as Luke had done back then. I couldn't let my wolf take over again, it would have killed so many people then if it hadn't stopped and I hated to kill my people. The ones that needed to die were the enemies surrounding me and pretending to be sincere when they weren't. I paced around the room, thinking of how to escape the wrath of the enemies. I was weaker than I once was, the wolfsbane was still taking effect on me, making me weaker every day. Before I started my revenge, the first person I needed to kill was Luke and I would make sure to do that, then I would find the lady who betr
A fresh start with the Lycan king A spiral into madness
SOPHIE'S POV I watched him leave abruptly from the meeting and I was bothered. "Everyone, I think it's time to leave. I will go and calm the king down and he will call on you all later." I told them before leaving the gathering too. I went straight to his room and I saw him lying in his bed. "King Magnus," I called. He rolled around in his bed and turned to look at me "What was that? Why were you siding with him when he did that to you?" He asked, his voice was calm as he sat up in his bed and looked at me. I walked closer to him and sat down beside him. "I wasn't defending him. I was just worried that you would make a mistake because of your anger. Luke already dealt with him and he is missing an arm already. Cutting off his pack would only endanger the lives of innocent people and I'm sure you don't want that either." I said to him and he was quiet for a while. "I understand. I was very angry back there when I learnt about what he did to you. I wanted to deal with him and the e
A fresh start with the Lycan king Broken alliance
MAGNUS' POV The celebration continued as everyone had their fill, laughed and had fun. Sophie sat down beside me, staring and smiling at me now and then. She seemingly wasn't enjoying the celebration like everyone else and it was obvious she wanted to leave as fast as possible but was only waiting for me. I wanted to leave too, it had been a while since I last saw her so being with other people paled in comparison to how much I wanted to be with her. However, it would be rude to leave the Alphas who came from different places to celebrate with me and pledge their alliances. "Lord Magnus, will you drink with me?" Jax asked, coming toward me with a bottle of wine and a cup in hand. I nodded my head "Yes. Bring that here." I said cheerfully. I wasn't happy with him but I had to keep my font clean. He walked over and placed a cup in front of me as he was about to pour the drink. I looked at the cup carefully, images of how that lady drugged me back then played in my head and I frowne
A fresh start with the Lycan king Allegiance
MAGNUS' POV I groaned loudly as I touched my forehead, it was aching so bad that I found it hard to open my eyes. It felt like I had been out of it for a very long time and getting back to things was a bit difficult for me. I removed my hand from my head with my eyes still closed, trying to calm my mind so I would be able to open my eyes. It was hard at first but soon, my eyes opened only to be closed back again due to the sudden exposure to light that seemed like it was going to remove my eyes from its socket. I groaned again, wondering what had happened to me until I heard the door open and someone rushed in "King Magnus!" The person shouted. My senses were dull as it was hard to figure out who it was but the voice was so familiar that I dared not mistake it for someone else's. It was Sophie. "Sophie?" I called out loud, still unable to open my eyes. I felt her hands on my chest as she finally got to me "You're awake. I'm so glad." She mumbled. She seemed very close to me so m
A fresh start with the Lycan king Payback
SOPHIE'S POV Seeing King Magnus again warmed my heart a great time and the thought that the whole thing was over made me over the moon. I had always imagined a scenario where I would never see him again, a scenario in which my belief of him still being alive was a total lie but when I got to the throne room and saw him standing there, it felt like a dream to me. I pinched myself several times to make sure I wasn't dreaming and when he announced a duel with Luke, I couldn't be happier even though I was scared for him too. Well... Everyone was scared as they knew how dirty and devious Luke could be. While King Magnus was purely strong, Luke could always do evil things that would make him win. "It's over... It's all over now." I couldn't help but mutter with tears in my eyes. My happiness knew no bounds, I was so happy that my heart wouldn't stop racing and what I wanted the most at the moment was to leave the crowd, go to a room and make up the times we had missed together. I was r
A fresh start with the Lycan king Turn of events
MAGNUS' POV Luke flew to a distance and only stopped when he crashed into a building. He was there for a few minutes and I was already thinking he had given up only to see him running toward the battleground again. He stood a few feet away from me and wiped the corner of his mouth that was already filled with blood and I could see a part of his belly, injured too. It was taking longer to heal which made me wonder what was wrong with him. "I told you, didn't I? You and I are not on the same ground, We are not on the same level. I was created to rule, ruling is what I'm made of and if I should let you hurt me here, I don't fit for that." My wolf said and in the next seconds, it appeared in front of Luke and grabbed one of his claws, breaking it. Luke growled in pain, he ran back and growled again "You are... You!" He wanted to say something but kept quiet as he could see my wolf approaching him again. The whole matter was becoming a plaything as my wolf had overpowered him complete
