A fresh start with the Lycan king Missed chance
SOPHIE’S POV Days passed but in the kingdom, it was as if a hundred years had passed after King Magnus died. It was scary and with the way things were going, it was only a matter of time before the Lycans would protest against the new king and if that happened, things would go sour and many things would be ruined. If I believed Magnus’s death, I wouldn’t have been this bothered. I might even instigate the protest so that we could get rid of Luke but I knew Magnus was alive and he would return to his castle one day. I was waiting for him patiently while looking for ways to help him preserve the kingdom. All Luke does these days is training, he spends the whole day training all the men in the kingdom for the upcoming war and this causes a rift in the kingdom. Things weren’t going well but he did not care. The war was getting closer to each other and soon, he would lead our men to the battleground. I had been thinking of ways to stop him but nothing was working and in the end, I decid
A fresh start with the Lycan king Streak
SOPHIE’S POV The plan has been set in place and the next thing was to carry it out. The first thing we wanted to do was find out where King Magnus was last seen and one of the Elders volunteered to find that out for us. I returned to the castle with this thought in mind and I was more anxious than ever. When I started thinking about how to bring King Magnus back, it was okay and I loved the thought but when the plan had been set in place, the reality hit me and the fear of truly losing him was slowly overwhelming me. Without knowing, a tear trickled down my face but I quickly wiped it off. It would be okay, Magnus wouldn’t leave me like this and I was sure of what I felt in my heart at the moment. I returned to my room but the night was longer than usual as I couldn’t wait for the Elder to call me and report back to me. My heart wouldn’t stop racing and sleeping was difficult. I kept thinking about many things until the light shone on my face and I could see it was morning already.
A fresh start with the Lycan king Confinement
MAGNUS’S POV I bit my tongue so hard that blood came pouring out and to aid the blood, I also bit hard on my lips, bringing out more blood. The men were bothered and because of this, they started shouting my name~ “King Magnus! King Magnus!!” I heard the shortest guy's voice and for a moment, I wished to open my eyes and tell him to shut the hell up so he wouldn’t risk exposing me on early for nothing but I knew that would be stupid of me. He was nicer than the usual stereotypical goons and rather kind to me a bit but he was still one of them and to save his ass, he might not think twice before selling me off. Why would I even trust someone like that? It wasn’t part of me and it would never be but I had registered it in my mind to help him if I ever come across him in the future to repay him for being such a nice person. “Hey! Are you okay?” I heard another voice and I knew it was the most quiet of them all that talked. “I’m not. The man is about to die. No... maybe he’s dead?” Th
A fresh start with the Lycan king Clubbing
SOPHIE’S POV “Do you have an idea of where they took him?” I asked the man who was already sweating bucket. He probably wasn’t expecting what happened to him but for some reason, I wasn’t feeling bad either as I felt like he got what he wanted. He wanted to flirt with a woman even though he might have a woman at home. Seeing the man reminded me of Magnus who had me at home but still came to a club filled with strippers and even took one to a room. The man told us he entered a room with a strange woman who had been acting suspicious in the club for days. The man got curious when he saw the lady entering a room with a handsome man and decided to follow but he was shocked when the door opened later and he saw the lady leaving alone. He was still curious, so he continued checking the door and soon, he saw the man whom he described and with the description, I was sure it was Luke. He said the man entered alone and came out with Magnus who was looking very weak and drunk. “I couldn’t
A fresh start with the Lycan king Jax recompense
SOPHIE'S POV"Alpha Jax?" I asked in disbelief. After what he did to me, what right did he have to visit the castle again and even ask about me?I thought I had heard wrong but the nod of the maid reminded me that I was right and in the castle was someone I would hate to see. "Why?" I asked the maid. She looked around for a while, her eyes were filled with confusion "I have no idea, My Queen." She replied. Of course, how would a maid know the reason someone as treacherous as Jax visited the castle all of a sudden? He was someone who once tried to ruin me after all. "Tell him..." I paused as I thought of what to say to him. I didn't want to see him, I didn't want to go and meet him there... Also, the last thing I wanted was for Luke to see us together as I knew how angry he was back then. I sucked in a deep breath and shook my head "Tell him I will be there in a few minutes." I replied and the maid left my room. I paced up and down in my room, thinking of the best way to counter h
A fresh start with the Lycan king Decapitation
SOPHIE POVI stared in shock at the decapitated hand that rolled on the floor. There was a stream of blood that gushed from the stump that remained. I could see Jax's shocked face which mirrored mine. We both hadn't expected it. It had happened so quickly.“What the fuck,” He finally shouted backing away and spraying rivulets of blood as he moved making the place more messy. “You cut off my hand!”“Consider this a friendly warning, you won't get off this easy next time,” Luke said kicking the hand on the floor away from him.Jax bent down and picked it up, I could see the effort it took him to do so because I could see that he looked dizzy. At that moment, I felt bad for him and wanted to reach out to help him. I shook off the thought quickly, it would only make things worse for everyone.“That should teach you never to come back here again. You expect her to take you back after all you did.”We watched him back off slowly, his gaze flitted from Luke to the hand he was holding and then
A fresh start with the Lycan king Cunning distraction
MAGNUS' POV We've been planning on how to take down Luke for a while now but being rash with it was something we avoided at all cost. We made different plans and collected ideas from every one of us until we were finally able to choose one which was mine. "We will do this, right?" I questioned as I looked at their pleased places. These men did not start as mine but through daily interaction and coming together, they had grown used to me and respected me as a leader. They would do everything I said even though I always asked them for their opinion too because I knew their life was in danger too. Following me meant death for each of them and thank goodness they all knew that but still decided to follow me anyway. According to one of them, he said he would rather die a soldier than get killed while being used by someone as treacherous as Luke. It was nice to hear and it boosted not only their morals but mine too. It was a different story if I was the only one facing Luke because no m
A fresh start with the Lycan king Beheaded
SOPHIE'S POV I sat down, thinking about what to do and what way to go about my situation when I heard footsteps coming toward me. I wondered who it was as it had been a while since someone visited me this way and I was curious to see who it was. The footstep got closer and closer until I could finally see who it was. "What are you doing here?" I asked coldly as I glared at him. The last person I wanted to see was Luke and it was annoying to see his face. The fact that he got me locked in this room was enough to make me want to pluck out his eyes and feed them to the dogs. He stared at me for a while and chuckled "I can't believe you are still so strict although you are behind a cell." He mocked as he looked around and signalled for the guards to leave. "Oh, did you think I would become fearful just because you locked me here? You are someone that can't defeat me, no matter what you do, I will always find my way out somehow and you are the loser here." I said to him with my eyes

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
