MARA

It is dark in the room with only torches that were placed on the wall made of stones as the sources of light. Rolan polarises at the front with his feet spread wide, gesturing with his hands as he talks. There are several maps laid out before him where lines and signs streaked my comprehension as I stood several feet away from him. I stand leaning against the wall with my arms folded and I intently watch him. His voice rises above the whispers of the soldiers surrounding him.

“We move in three groups,” Rolan starts and there is steel in his voice. First group ascends the eastern spur, the second party circles around from the west. The third remains here, they can be summoned as soon as someone is needed. We must not be boring. Steelpaw’s scouts are always on the look out , and if they get wind of our activity, then that would be the end of us.

I glance around the room. The soldiers are okay as they continue to nod with some whispering to their comrades, while others observe the m

  • CLAIMED BY MY SWEET LYCAN BEAST   Chapter 53: Kael again?

    MARAThe battlefield was a nightmare. The once powerful combat force of Rolan's men now merged into the air like scattered leaves because of the storm. Bodies covered the battlefield while those hit by injury convulsed in their death throes. The overwhelming smell of blood and smoke hung in the air as the ground became slippery because of the spilled blood. Kael’s soldiers spread throughout every corner of the battlefield because their endless numbers unleashed ceaseless attacks. Although Rolan struggled to maintain his position in the battle his blade could not defeat the ever-increasing enemy numbers. We were being overrun.My heartbeat throbbed violently as I watched the battle from the safety of the edge. Elowen held a firm grip on my hand but her tiny fingers quivered uncontrollably. She was only a child who should not be exposed to this nightmare because of her innocence. There was terror in her eyes as she stared at me while her face turned deathly pale and her body trembled

    MARA8 hours earlier I struggled to keep my cool while gazing at Rolan. I insisted, "I have to leave," with my fists clenched tightly at my sides. "Elowen is out there alone. I can't just sit here and do nothing." Rolan had his arms crossed, and his jaw was tight. He was clearly not comfortable with the situation. Not at all. His anxious expression intensified, and I noticed it in his eyes. "Mara," he said in a firm but quiet tone, "this is too risky." "The unknown lies beyond." "What if there's a trap?" "What if there's not?" My voice raised slightly as I retorted. "What if she’s hurt? Or scared? I can't just leave her behind, Rolan. I won't do it." We lingered in profound silence for what felt like ages. Finally, Rolan let out a long breath, his shoulders sagging a bit. "Okay," he said quietly, his voice unexpectedly gentle.You aren't on this journey by yourself, however. Two guards will be necessary. Mara, please be cautious, would you? With a sense of relief washing over me,

  • CLAIMED BY MY SWEET LYCAN BEAST   Chapter 55: Auction?

    MARAThe voice hit me like a punch to the gut. It was soft, inviting, and brimming with a kindness I hadn’t felt in years. When I turned slowly, my heart pounding, she was there. Vespera. My cleaner. My saviour. The woman who had burst into my room on that terrible night—the night Kael and Lola had tried to break me. She looked older now, her dark hair streaked with grey, her face etched with the lines of hardship. But her eyes were the same—kind, steady, and filled with a quiet strength.“Vespera,” I murmured, my voice trembling. “What… what are you doing here?”She stepped closer, her hands clasped in front of her, her expression a mix of relief and sorrow. In a steady, low voice, she said, “After that night, after you ran away, your father, Kalen, made a decree. He declared that no harm should come to me. He said that if anyone hurt me, during his life or after his death, they would be cursed. He called me your rescuer, Mara. In Kael’s eyes, that was my crime. That’s why he despi

    ISOLDEIt felt like a strong and sudden storm hit me when I found out that Blackfang was gone. Just like that. My chest felt heavy when I remembered the rogue pack, the people, and the memories. It wasn't just a pack; it was a safe place and a home for people who had no other place to stay. And Kael wasn't finished. Of course he wasn't. He had heard rumors that someone was helping Mara and Rolan reach Steelpaw to stop the cruel slave trade. His anger was getting stronger, and his unkindness was spreading like an illness. He wouldn't stop until he had beaten anyone who tried to oppose him. Now, Blackfang was just ashes. Kael and his subordinates, the so-called alphas, had rushed through like a fire, leaving destruction everywhere. I could almost smell the smoke and hear the cries of people who had lost everything. It made me feel really bad. Blackfang stood for hope and the fight against difficulties. And now it was no longer there. But Kael didn’t get it—hope doesn’t

  • CLAIMED BY MY SWEET LYCAN BEAST   Chapter 57: Lesbian sex

    MARA The instant Isolde led me inside her room, the air between us altered. Charged, electrifying, and I could feel my heart thumping in my chest. She said nothing at all, and neither did I. Words served no purpose here. Her eyes fixed on mine, and before I could even think her lips were on mine. The kiss began softly, a gentle inquiry, but it did not linger very long. Her hands soon were in my hair, drawing me in and deepening the kiss to become something hungry, something vital. Her hands were dancing down my body, then she was tugging at the ties of my gown. It dropped to the floor and I was just in my tank top. Though it did nothing to reduce the fire rising inside me, I could feel the cool air on my skin. Her hands were on my waist, then slipping up, and before I knew it, she was tugging the tank top over my head. My bare breasts bounced loose, and I felt a shudder pass through me as her eyes went over me. Her hands were on me then, cradling my breasts, her thum

  • CLAIMED BY MY SWEET LYCAN BEAST   Chapter 58: Valdis

    NARRATORMen and women honing blades, sharing stories, and laughing over mugs of ale filled the air with the usual rogue talk.The eldest, Valdis, however, was unique. His old face, etched with thousand-year-old wrinkles, was tense. As though he could see what others could not, his keen, acute eyes scanned the horizon. As he held his staff, the wood smoothed by years of usage, his long grey beard swung softly in the air."The winds carry whispers," Valdis uttered softly but urgently enough to draw attention. "The rabbit is unaware that the hawk is circling. The leaves dance unnoticed as the storm builds.Nearby, a young outlaw, scarcely older than a teenager, chuckled and pushed his partner. "There he goes again, speaking in riddles. "The old man has lost his marbles."Valdis spun around quickly, staring at the young man. The hawk's shadow will soon land on your door, so stop laughing now, child. "The storm won't wait for the stupid to seek cover."Rolling his eyes, the young outlaw l

  • CLAIMED BY MY SWEET LYCAN BEAST   Chapter 59: Zephyr

    NARRATOR Apart from the slight bird singing outside, the air was still. Mara woke awake her head on Isolde's shoulder and her body twisted in the blankets.The modest house owned by Isolde was softly golden as the early sun came through the thin curtains.She blinked slowly and a slight smile crept on her lips as she remembered the previous evening. But the calm moment was fleeting.Outside, shouts and heavy boots stomping on the ground created a clamour of activity. Suddenly sitting up, Mara's heart was racing. "What's happening outside?"Already on her feet, Isolde slipped on a robe and went towards the window. She softly pushed the curtain aside so she could see what was outside. Her face went white as her eyes widened and she hurried back. "Mara, you must watch this."With her bare feet touching the frigid floor, Mara got out of bed. Breathing heavily, she raced to the window and gazed out. A young man has been besieged by Steelpaw troopers with their firearms out. His visage was

  • CLAIMED BY MY SWEET LYCAN BEAST   Chapter 60: Battle

    NARRATORWith his boots sounding like they were about to burst through the wooden floor, Kael entered the room. His gaze fell on Mara, who was seated on his bed with a stiff stance but an unreadable expression. A moment of surprise flashed across his face, and then a dark, contented smile took its place. He had dreamed of and longed for this time. She was his mate and sister, and now she was finally in his space, apparently caving in. A twisted pride grew in his breast. He would take what was rightfully his, and she was his.His shadow spanned the room as he approached with purposeful movements. Mara didn't move or flinch. Her silence just made him more determined. He tested her reluctance by reaching out and stroking her arm. He tightened his hold on her and drew her closer to him when she refused to move. The idea of finally claiming her made his head race, and his breath quickened. Then, however, something changed.Mara's piercing, calculating eyes met his. She lunged before he cou

  • CLAIMED BY MY SWEET LYCAN BEAST   EPILOGUE 2

    NARRATOR TEN YEARS LATERThe great hall of Ravencrest pulsed with warmth, alive with laughter and the rich scent of roasted meats. Mara leaned against the balcony, the summer wind tugging at the silver streaking her dark hair. Ten years of peace had softened the sharp edges of her once-fierce gaze, but the fire in her soul still burned—just differently now. Not as a wildfire, but as a steady hearth. Below, the celebration unfolded—former slaves and warriors, humans and wolves, all sharing food and drink without hesitation. The sight still took her breath away sometimes. She had spent so long fighting for this moment, she’d almost forgotten how to simply live in it. Her fingers brushed the scars along her ribs, faintly silver in the torchlight. They no longer ached. They were just part of her now, like the stories etched into the walls of Ravencrest. A familiar presence stepped beside her. Zander, his once-brooding features eased by time, slid an arm around her waist. "They’re

  • CLAIMED BY MY SWEET LYCAN BEAST   EPILOGUE

    NARRATORThe great hall of Ravencrest was alive with anticipation, and the air seemed thick with energy, like the very stones of the building were holding their breath. The banners, draped in silver and blue, hung like silent sentinels, the colors a testament to the old bond between Rolan and Mara. Rolan, gone now, but not forgotten. Silver—the shade of his strength, and blue—Mara’s scars, which had come to define her as much as her resilience. Together, they wove a tapestry that was neither entirely victory nor defeat, but a complex, ever-shifting middle ground.The hall was filled to capacity. Former slaves, who had fought and bled beside Mara, now stood shoulder to shoulder with the warriors of allied packs. The pack of Ashclaw, the remnants of Steelpaw, and the once-proud Ravencrest all united in their shared history. No longer enemies, no longer strangers, but a people bound together by the wars they’d fought and the peace they now sought.Mara stood at the front, her stance unyi

  • CLAIMED BY MY SWEET LYCAN BEAST   Chapter 74:MARABA PACK

    NARRATOR The night was thick with the heavy scent of rain, the wind howling through the trees like a creature on the hunt. Mara felt the storm in her bones. Her labor pains came in sharp, unpredictable waves, each one crashing into her with the force of thunder. The lightning split the sky like a jagged scar, its brilliance painting the walls of the room in a flash of white and blue. Every time the sky rumbled, Mara's body reacted, as if her very soul was syncing with the storm. It was a chaos she couldn’t escape.Elowen was beside her, her hands gripping Mara’s as if her life depended on it, the terror in her eyes barely concealed. "Mara, hold on. Just a little longer," she said, her voice tight with panic. But the truth was, there wasn’t much time left. The storm wasn’t the only threat tonight.Outside, the sound of pounding feet grew louder, the crack of distant gunfire and the howl of wolves cutting through the night air. Mara had no idea how much longer they could keep the door

  • CLAIMED BY MY SWEET LYCAN BEAST   Chapter 73: War

    NARRATORMara woke up with a cold sweat sticking to her skin, her breath shallow, her heart pounding. The night had been long, filled with dreams—visions that felt too real, too heavy. And now, as the first rays of sunlight began to seep through the cracks in the cave walls, she couldn't shake the feeling that something was terribly wrong. Her hand instinctively went to her stomach, the memory of last night flooding her mind. Rolan. The warmth of his touch, the soft whisper of his breath against her skin, the way he made her feel alive in a way she hadn’t been in years. It was a night she would never forget, their bodies coming together in a moment of shared pain, shared hope. But now, as the memories tugged at her, there was a gnawing sense of loss that made her chest tighten. Rolan was gone. She had to accept that. He had died, had fallen to Braxton’s men, trying to protect everything they had fought for. And yet… Something was different now. She felt something shift inside her.

  • CLAIMED BY MY SWEET LYCAN BEAST   Chapter 72: Isolde’s betrayal

    NARRATORThree weeks. That’s how long Kael had been stewing in his own rage, the wound where Mara had bitten off part of his ear still throbbing under the bandages. Three weeks since that bitch had nearly killed him before collapsing, since he’d left her in that room, limp and lifeless—or so he thought. Three weeks since Rolan and his pack of strays had slipped through his fingers again. And now? Now he was done playing. Braxton stood beside him in the dim light of their makeshift war room, a map of Steelpaw’s territory spread across the table. Pins marked Rolan’s last known locations, traced by their informants. One pin, in particular, was jammed deep into the forest near the eastern border—where Rolan’s car had been found, abandoned but not hidden well enough. "They’re holed up in that cave," Braxton muttered, tapping the spot with a scarred finger. "But we can’t just storm in. Not with all of them together." Kael’s jaw clenched. He knew Braxton was right. Rolan wasn’t just

  • CLAIMED BY MY SWEET LYCAN BEAST   Chapter 71: Trapped souls

    NARRATORTarice stepped into his path, arms crossed. "You go out there now, you’re walking into a trap. Or your grave. Either way, you’re no good to us dead."“We need to strategize.” Rolan’s jaw clenched. His hands balled into fists at his sides. His breath was heavy, the muscles in his neck straining as he fought against the urge to punch Tarice for stopping him."Think, you bastard! Kael wants you reckless. He wants you to charge in blind—"Mara stood up, Elara still in her arms, the baby’s tiny face pressed into the crook of her neck. She felt the heat of the fire behind her and the cold certainty of the moment ahead of her. She could feel it all—the heaviness of the room, the raw anger in Rolan’s eyes, the fear hanging over them like a storm cloud.Pressing a soft kiss to Elara’s forehead, she gently handed the baby over to Maren, her fingers lingering on the little one’s warmth. “Keep her safe, Maren,” Mara said, her voice a little shaky but strong. She could feel the weight

  • CLAIMED BY MY SWEET LYCAN BEAST   Chapter 70: Cursed blood

    NARRATORMara should’ve known better than to take walks with Valdis.The man never said anything simply; instead, he spoke in riddles. It was all wrapped in layers of cryptic warnings and half-truths that wormed their way into your head and wouldn't leave.He had trapped her as if he had some sinister secret to reveal after just two days in this godforsaken cave."The bloodline of your anointed one is... impure. Cursed by the sins of those who came before him. The Moon Goddess demands balance. Some lines must end," he had muttered, his eyes far away, nearly lost in the sway of the trees surrounding them.Mara had crossed her arms and scowled. "You talking about Rolan’s family?"The only thing Valdis had said was, "The wolf does not choose the poison in its veins," with that knowing, angry smirk of his.How could that possibly imply anything?She dismissed it with a flick of her eyes. But as she paced the cave's boundaries, her heart tense, the words stuck to her like thorns, scraping

  • CLAIMED BY MY SWEET LYCAN BEAST   Chapter 69: Unsettling shelter

    NARRATORMara moved, bringing herself gently to her feet. She moved rigidly, as if her body was still attempting to process what she was thinking.She glanced around the room, stopping at every face. Valdis, Isolde, and Rolan. Even though they were all present, her gaze remained confused. She seemed to be trying to interpret what she was seeing by blinking.Her fingers brushed the steady beat of her heart as she stroked her chest. It was authentic. It seems.... "alive" Her words was hardly audible above a whisper as she scowled. "How long was I gone?"Mara's eyes briefly lingered on Valdis and Elowen's parents before darting to the other people in the room. Even while it didn't stop the weird sensation churning inside her, something about seeing them alive grounded her somewhat because they had survived the chaos at the Blackfang hideout.The hush was broken by Valdis, whose steady voice carried the weight of unspoken words. He said, "We’ve met before," as he observed her with a knowi

  • CLAIMED BY MY SWEET LYCAN BEAST   Chapter 68: Return of Elara

    NARRATORShe whispered, "The baby... it knows Mara," with an odd weight to her words. Knowing that she would also be here, that is why the Moon Goddess guided us here. Everything links together.As if responding to her prophecy, the air itself seemed to vibrate as the ground underneath them seemed to throb with her words.However, the room was suddenly shocked just as the tension peaked. Still motionless and cold, Mara's body started to shake. She appeared to be about to wake up for a moment as her eyelids twitched.And then, suddenly, her eyes opened—*black solid*All of them held their breath. Suddenly there was a heavy hush in the room.She then said, "You shouldn't have brought me back," in a voice that was not her own but rather a chorus of several whispers that echoed uncannily across the room.The words made everyone in the room shiver. And the earth itself seemed to be reacting to the evil magic at work, for the storm outside raged again.Something changed as soon as Mara's wo
