LORI’S POV

The world seemed to freeze at the Lycan King's statement. I couldn’t speak. For some reason, I wasn’t as shocked as I expected to be. For one, I wanted to know if it was the truth.

If I was his mate, it could prove that I was truly a werewolf and I could shift. It could also be a lie but, why would the King lie?

“Your Majesty?” Alpha Kilian called in disbelief. “You don’t mean that this lowly—”

“Finish that sentence and I will slay you where you stand.” The Lycan King turned his attention back to Alpha Kilian.

I inhaled sharply at the threat. This was beyond strange. No one had ever stood up to me like this, especially against a Alpha. I didn’t know how to feel.

Alpha Kilian gritted his teeth as he lowered his head. “I stepped out of line.” He apologized.

The Lycan King smirked, folding his hands behind his back. It was devoid of any warmth; cold and menacing. “Yes, you did. First, you tried to kill her and then, you insulted her? You’ve gone too far this time, Kilian.”

Alpha Kilian bowed even deeper. “Forgive me, Lord Damon. I was ignorant.” He apologized, loudly.

“It’s not me you should be apologizing to. It's Lorenza.” The Lycan King gestured back at me.

Everyone became more quiet than they were. Alpha Kilian lifted his head and stared at me with furrowed brows. The scene was embarrassing. They were all watching. I stepped forward. “You don’t have to.” I said.

“No,” Alpha Kilian began tightly. He lowered his head. “I… I stepped out of line, Lorenza. Forgive me.” I said nothing, clearing my throat and looking away awkwardly. He lifted his head.

“Now that we have that out of the way, I'll be taking Lorenza with me.” The Lycan King announced.

“What?!” I sputtered. I wasn’t going anywhere with this man.

“I’m afraid that I can’t allow you to do that, Lord Damon.” Alpha Kilian said, straightening his spine. He adjusted the cuff on his shirt, looking down at it. I looked at him, just as he lifted his head. Was he defying the Lycan King? “This is my territory.”

“Which I also rule over.” The Lycan King reminded him.

“Yes. And there are laws that have guided us and kept the peace for so long.” Alpha Kilian replied. “Lorenza Gunivere cannot just walk away scot free. She has to be punished.”

“You would dare punish my mate?” The Lycan King asked, his voice dropping.

“She was a part of my pack before she was your mate.”

The tension in the air was thick enough to be cut by a chainsaw. The Lycan King and Alpha Kilian stared at each other. It looked like a fight was about to break out. Moments passed before the Lycan King chuckled, flexing his right wrist in the air. 

“Fine. Punish her. But on one condition: you are not allowed to harm even a hair on her head.” He said.

Something told me that if he wanted to, he would walk out of this place with me unpunished. But, he was the Lycan King and he had to show that the rules had to obeyed.

“Agreed.” Alpha Kilian replied. He turned slightly to address the others. “Attention, wolves of Agerna! Lorenza Gunivere has failed to awaken her wolf and prove that she is one of us.”

“On that note,” he looked into my eyes, “I hereby banish Lorenza from all of Agerna. She is not to set foot back in this territory.”

No, no, no.

“No! You can’t do that. This is my home, this is my pack! I belong here!” I argued, pointing my index finger to the ground and stamping my foot. I had spent my whole life here. He couldn’t just send me away like this.

“I’m sorry, Lori.” Alpha Kilian apologized, his mask slipping briefly for me to see that he was sad. But then, the stony face of our leader was back. “The rules have to be obeyed.”

“Very well. Lorenza will be coming with me.” The Lycan King repeated, almost casually.

“No, I will not leave my home!” I argued. Before I could blink, the Lycan King was next to me. He lowered his head down to my ear.

“I can still have you executed if I see fit. I saved your life so, it’s basically mine now. Act accordingly,” He threatened. “Mate.”

I swallowed the lump in my throat and glared at him. He smirked and stepped away from me. I didn’t say anything. Dying tonight wasn’t on my list of things to do. I was going to behave myself. 

For now.

He turned back to everyone. “Enjoy the rest of the festivities. Lorenza and I will leave now.” 

As he said so, the Alphas stepped forward, leaving their tables and bowing ever so slightly. They gestured towards the exit, escorting us out. I gave one last look at Alpha Kilian and left.

I filed into a car with the Lycan King, and there was an entourage of cars following after us. After twenty minutes of listening to the sound of the tires against the road, I looked at the Lycan King.

He was on his tablet, his brows perfectly sculpted. Up close, he looked more normal but there was this scary energy about him. Maybe it was the light from the screen that made him look eery.

“Is there a reason that you're staring at me?” He asked, not even lifting his eyes.

I cleared my throat, flustered. Since when had he noticed? “Where are you taking me?” I asked, quietly.

He didn't reply. A few moments passed between us and I thought that maybe he hadn’t heard me but then, he said, “We’re going somewhere else. A place where I think you'll fit right in.” The Lycan King replied.

“Where?”

He smirked, meeting my eyes. “We’re going to the human realm.”

  • Fated to the Ruthless Lycan King   Chapter Four

    LORI’S POVMy face must have grown pale because he chuckled at me. “Don’t look so scared now, Lorenza. You managed to keep a bold face in front of all those Alphas. Surely humans don’t scare you.”He sounded like he was teasing me but I was too flustered to react properly. “No, it’s just that humans are—”“Monster hunters? Crude people who set witches on fire?” The Lycan King asked, amused. “Those are just stories.”“So, it’s not true?” I asked, lifting my brows.“Oh, they are, but that was a different age and time. Now, humans are fascinated by supernatural creatures.” He said, calmly. He grabbed the bottle of water in the cup holder beside him and opened it as he talked. “Simply because they can’t prove that we exist. We live among them, blending so well that you can't tell your own kind apart. It’s our power over them.”“But are werewolves safe?” I asked just as he took a drink from the bottle.“Why don’t you find out yourself?” I looked up in time to see some kind of bright purpl

  • Fated to the Ruthless Lycan King   Chapter Five

    LORI’S POVI looked away from him, shutting my eyes. I heard him chuckle. “You don’t have a choice, little wolf. Get some rest.” Without another word, he left, shutting the door behind him. I stood there for a moment, my heart banging against my chest. That was close. Was he truly about to steal my first kiss? The Lycan King was as frustrating as he was terrifying. What made it worse was that I was trapped in his world.But one thing was sure, there was no way I was going to let him control me. If I was going to survive in this realm, I had to find a way to stand on my own two feet, without the Lycan King.***A few hours later, there was a knock on my door. I didn't know how long I had been asleep. I was dazed as a few people walked into the room, carrying baskets of items and wheeling in dresses.I sat up, confused. “Who are you?”One of the maids walked towards my bed. She had short black hair and was wearing the black dress and white apron. She bowed, “Lady Lorenza, I’m Emilia

    LORI’S POVMy breath caught in my throat. I turned sharply to look at the Lycan King, leaning back against the table to create some space between us.“That’s…” I stuttered, “that’s impossible. My parents—”“One was an omega and one a regular wolf.” he waved his hand in dismissal, “It’s either one of them lied about their true identity or you, little wolf, are not their biological child.”I was dizzy. My body was growing hot and I couldn’t think straight. My parents had lied to me?“Whoa, Lorenza,” the Lycan King was closer now. I hadn’t noticed when he’d reached me. He was close enough that his scent enveloped me. His hand wrapped around my waist to steady me. I hadn't even realized that my legs had given way under me and he had caught me.My head ached and I couldn't focus on the fact that he had called me my name. “I’m sorry, I just… I don’t know what’s wrong with me.” I replied.“You’re in shock,” he said, leading me to take a seat. He crouched down in front of me. His eyes softene

  • Fated to the Ruthless Lycan King   Chapter Seven

    LORI’S POV:Before Emilia could wake me up and force me to wear one of the dresses in the wardrobe, I was up and ready. I was able to find comfortable outfits; a pait of grey joggers and a ugly yellow shirt. Yellow wasn't my favourite colour, no where near, but, it would have to do.There was a knock on the door. “Lady Lorenza—” Emilia stopped, watching me as I checked my face in the mirror. “You’re up.”“Yes, good morning.” I replied. I walked over to the other helper carrying a tray of snacks. “Oou, honey biscuits. Thank you.” I grabbed one and popped it into my mouth, savouring the deliciousness.“And you’re wearing that?” Emilia asked, her eyes roaming my body.It was nothing expensive but it was clothes that I was used to. I left Agerna in such a rush that I couldn’t even take anything. Hopefully, my stuff was still intact and I could ask the Lycan King for a favour.I still can’t believe that Alpha Killian could banish me just like that. Scratch that, I couldn't believe he’d trie

    LORI’S POV:I felt the hair on the back of my neck stand. Emilia was already pale and I couldn't hear her breathing. We turned slowly at the same time.There he was, in all his glory. As usual, he was wearing mostly black. The sleeves of his black button down was specked with gold. His hair that always looked wet, was combed back. He looked regal and so formal.It was hard not to stare at him. Especially with the mate bond tugging me towards him. I was spending almost every waking hour trying to quench the feeling of mad attraction I felt towards him.I noticed the younger man standing next to him. He was as chiseled as the Lycan King, a few inches taller. And equally good looking. He had blond hair and wore no frame glasses. He watched me with a look that I thought was humour.I wondered who he was.“Emilia,” the Lycan King called. He passed the brown folder he was holding to the other attractive man. “What is she doing outside the penthouse?”“I-” Emilia stuttered, unable to find a

    LORI’S POV I watched him carefully, trying to ascertain if he was any harm. “Look, I don’t even know who you are but honestly, I don’t think I care.” I said, “All I’m going to ask for is that you don’t let yourself into my room like that. Ever.”The corner of one side of his lips tugged upward. “We’re getting off on the wrong foot. How about we do this all over again?” He asked. He walked towards me, stopping a few feet away. He held out his hand, “Hi, I’m Caleb. I’m Elijah’s Beta.”Caleb. I studied his eyes and then stepped forward, taking his hand firmly in mine and shaking him. “Nice to meet you, Caleb.” I said, even though I wasn’t so sure.“I know you might have painted a picture of me in your head but I can assure you that I’m just a friendly face.” He replied.“Why do you keep saying Elijah?” I asked the one question bothering me.“Ah, that. You probably know him as Damon, the Lycan King. But when you grow up next to him, like me, it’s hard to forget what you’re used to. Altho

    LORI’S POVI changed my mind. I would rather die than be indebted to the Lycan King.“What?” I replied, gripping the covers even tighter to shield myself from him.“You have to take off your clothes, Lorenza.” The Lycan King said, sounding like he didn't like repeating himself.“I… I can’t.” Maybe it was better to die than for the Lycan King to see me naked.“Lorenza…” The Lycan King called, “You’re dying.”“Then so be it.” I replied.“Don’t be such a prude. I’m not going to do anything to you. I’ve seen a lot more women and you have nothing to be worried about.” he said, approaching me.“That doesn’t make feel any better.” I retorted. I couldn’t fight him off when he hooked his hand under my knees and lifted me. “Put me down.”“You’re stubborn.” The Lycan King ignored my request and took me to the bathroom. He dumped me inside the tub. “You have three minutes to take off your clothes or I’ll do it for you.”I bit my lip. He wasn’t joking. “Turn around.” I said. He sighed but did as I
