I hate Alpha Kingsley when I write him but there is a reason behind his behavior and lust for power. We will dive into the depths of this hated character as we move forward in the book! Stay tuned for that. And let me know what you think of Alpha Kingsley. If you like this book, make sure to leave a quick review and a few gems. It only takes a moment and I really love those reviews 💕 P.S. The old readers who read the 1st book (Omega for the Alpha King) in this series are already aware of the Lycan origin story but a little summary was necessary for the readers who are reading this story as a standalone book! So, I hope the old readers will understand and the new readers won't miss out on anything.
AMELIA Dad and I went out of the packhouse, and there he was. Right in the middle of the same field where Dad had asked his warriors to prepare for war and to stop Tyson and his warriors from entering his territory. It turned out that Dad’s warriors couldn’t do what their Alpha had commanded. Tyson was here. And so was a warrior with him. Dad’s people surrounded the King’s black stallion. My breath caught in my throat when I looked at the warriors of our pack. I could tell they didn’t want to do this just by looking at their trembling and stumbling feet but their Alpha’s command had bound them to this fate. The ground was still shaking occasionally, sending shivers down my spine. It was like the surface was pulsating and breathing like a living creature. “ What do you think you are doing? ” Tyson asked, everyone, and no one in general. The warriors didn’t say anything. They held their position while Dad stayed by my side, waiting for Tyson to do something so he could get another
AMELIA “ You will walk. ” Tyson told me. I took a deep breath and kept my head down. “ it might take a whole day to get home if I walk. ” “ And you think I care? Why is that? ” His cold voice made my spine freeze. Without saying another word to him, I started walking. It was no use arguing. He was trying to hurt me, and I should at least let him do that after everything I did to him. His horse and the horse of his warrior both followed me as I walked in front. After running home all the way from the Eastcairn Citadel and then running all around the pack to find Adelia, my legs hurt. With each step forward, I felt a sharp pain shooting from the tips of my toes to my inner thighs. The muscles in my legs were not in good condition. I could heal if I was given some time to rest, but I wouldn’t get that. Telling him that walking hurt like hell right now would only please him more. “ What were you thinking when you decided to go against me? ” Tyson asked after a long pause. How was
TYSON “ Don’t you think Kingsley will retaliate? ” Evan, my warrior and a friend of desperate times, asked as we entered the doors of the Eastcairn Citadel. “ He will. That’s what I want. ” A smirk stretched the corners of my lips. “ What are you going to do with him? ” He was curious. “ What he did to me. ” I let out and looked down at the girl who was moaning in pain. Amelia was unconscious and she was in my arms. She kept mumbling incoherent words throughout the journey. The only thing I could understand was the name of her sister Adelia. However, it was not the worst she could do. The worst was her snuggling tantrums in my neck and chest to seek warmth and comfort. It was annoying. It made my hands tingle. My blood heated in my veins every time she did it. I should have left her there. She could stay on the ground and become food for the animals. But, how could I let her die such an easy death? That would be like freeing her from all the lies she had told in her life.
AMELIA I fell unconscious again on the way to whatever room I was supposed to stay in. I didn’t know what happened after that. Now, I was lying awake on a bed that was big enough to accommodate four people at once. The cotton sheets under me were wet with sweat. I had a fever and the maid who had helped me inside stayed by my side nursing me.No one asked her to do that. No one had ever done this for me before. So, I didn’t know why she was doing this.“ You should eat something, Lady Amelia. ” Her sweet motherly voice fell on my ears.I sighed and sat up in the bed. My healing process had kicked in. My feet healed and the swelling was gone but the fever was still not down.“ Why are you looking after me? ” I couldn’t help but ask even if it made me sound like an ungrateful brat.The woman turned to me and threw me a sweet smile. “ when someone does something nice for you, you should just let them, Lady Amelia. Don’t think too much about it. ” It was not every day that people did s
AMELIA“ Not you. ” She made her stop in the doorway. “ Amelia can do it. ” This was childish. Having Alpha Kingsley’s daughter serve her was not enough. Now she wanted me to run errands too. This satisfied her and I was not about to fight her over it. She could have the childish satisfaction all she wanted. Besides, this was my chance to disappear for a while to regain my control over my nerves.Sighing, I turned to the door and watched as the maid went back to the corner silently.Before I could step forth, Luna Ivy spoke again. “ Take these back to the kitchen. ” Her tone was impudent. I could tell now. She wanted me to react or to fight her so they could make an issue out of it.Biting the inside of my cheek, I walked to the center table and placed all the empty glasses inside the tray before picking them up. Luna Ivy’s brows rose to her forehead in delight. I ignored her smugness and turned around to leave when I heard their voices. “ Is Princess Ava coming here? ” Luna Ivy w
AMELIA Where was I supposed to look for Adelia? Where could Dad possibly send her to hide her from me? I hummed as I sat on the bench in the rose garden. The beauty of the flowers was not enough to take my mind off the important questions in life. ‘ Maybe he sent her to Daniel? ’ Aspen murmured. ‘ But Alpha Garrett died. And I don’t think Dad trusts Daniel enough to hand Adelia over to him. ’ I sighed. Or perhaps, he could. There was no surety when it came to Dad and his evil plans. I had to check with Daniel and his pack. But how would I do that? I had no friends or allies I could just ask to do things for me. I couldn’t go either because I doubted the warriors standing guard on the main door would let me out without Tyson’s orders. By now, Tyson would have blocked the secret entrance too. I was trapped inside this castle. And I had to find someone here who could do things for me. I inhaled a deep breath and thought about my options. Personally, I only knew Eliana, Tyson,
AMELIA “ Why do you think His Highness will send me away just because you want it? ” She sneered. I took my eyes off Tyson and fixed her my best glare. “ I am his mate. And you are…you are what? I don’t even know what to call you. ” I was genuinely confused for a moment. “ I—I am His Highness’…I am… ” She didn’t know what she was either. “ Elizabeth! ” I snapped, ignoring the girl’s scowl. Tyson watched silently. I could feel his intense eyes on me, but I didn’t want to look at him and lose the strange courage I found in me. “ Yes, Lady Amelia. ” Elizabeth came to stand behind me hurriedly. “ Escort this girl out of the Eastcarin Citadel. ” I glanced at her from over my shoulder. She nodded quickly and progressed towards the girl. There was no missing the pleased look in Elizabeth’s eyes when she grabbed her arm and started dragging her away. “ Your—Your Highness. ” She stuttered, digging her heels into the floor. I blinked and forced myself to look at Tyson at last. His
TYSON She must have seen my eyes turning red. I ran my fingers through my sweaty hair and sat down on the edge of the bed. I was still having a hard time controlling the hunger for blood that was trying to make me run feral. I knew the scent of Amelia’s blood now. And for some reason, I craved it. I had to retreat earlier today because of it and I had to make her run away from me a few minutes ago. I didn’t know if I could hold myself back when I could see the vein pounding in her neck. “ Why her? ” I groaned, throwing my head in my hands. I never craved someone’s blood before. I did my absolute best to avoid consuming blood, to begin with. And it had been painful but it was not impossible. I managed to do it for a whole year and I didn’t think anything would push me back to the hellhole I crawled out of, a year ago. Even thinking about that time was torturous. I did something no other Lycan would ever even dream about. To protect my sister and her child from the Vampire King,
Hi Lovelies! I hope you are all well and doing great things in life.

AMELIA ...One and a Half Month Later… Nora told me she would wait for any word from Avery. I was with her on this. Once she looked for Nora, we would do everything to stop Dustin from sending her to the South. He couldn’t force his sister. She was not a pushover and she was not alone. But, our wait remained just that. Avery never called for help. She didn’t look for Tyson or Striker or any of us. After a week, she silently disappeared. We would have never expected her to just go like this, without a word, or without putting up a fight, or without any farewell One day I woke up and Tyson simply told me he got the news from North. Avery was already in the South. That didn’t make sense to me or Nora who was still there with me. Now another month passed after Avery’s sudden disappearance. We waited for a message from her, but the gates of the South were closed, and the magic shield was back. No one could go inside and no one came out. In the first few days, Tyson and Striker threw
AMELIA Things worked out. I didn’t expect them to, but they did. That was the only thought in my mind as I lay in Tyson’s arms, wrapped up in a blanket after several intense rounds of sex. His fingers traced imaginary shapes on my lower back and I enjoyed the feel of his skin over mine, lazy and gentle. At that moment, I decided I should tell him what I didn’t before, “ I was not the only one there. ” “ Hmm? ” He turned to me and pulled me closer to his body. I sighed, inhaling my lingering scent on his neck. I had made peace with the fact that I might never get to inhale his true scent. “ Levian. ” I whispered and sensed his shoulder tensing under my cheek, “ He was there last night. He saved me and Ryder. I don’t know why but he…helped us. If it was not for him, maybe, I wouldn’t have made it. Aleister was sending weird shadow monsters and our people to kill me, Tyson. And when these creatures noticed Ryder…they wanted to hurt him to get to me. ” His hand paused. I waited for
TYSON She must be awake. I concluded and decided to go to her. However, her scent drew close and filled my senses, freezing me on my spot. Was she going to be mad because I made a wrong decision and left her to fight on her own? “ Tyson. ” Her sweet voice fell on my ears, drawing my attention to the door behind me. She stood in the doorway, dressed in a plain light green dress that fell to her ankles. There was no sign of sickness on her face, but a wide smile as she walked to me on hurried steps. “ Lia. ” My heart missed a beat. She stopped in front of me and without caring about the other three people in the room, cupped my cheek in her warm palm. “ Did we manage to get rid of the threat? ” We. My shoulders loosened. We were still ‘we’. I gripped her hand and sat her down to my side. Immediately, she pressed herself to me as if she couldn’t bear to be away. Her injuries had healed, leaving her pale skin smooth and soft. “ You played a big role in this, Amelia. ” Striker st
TYSONI should have expected something to be wrong. Nothing ever went smoothly for me. Lia was unconscious when I arrived at the Eastcairn Citadel. Surprisingly, I only felt her pain when I was inside the walls. From the looks of it, she was not in a severe condition. She just exerted all her energy and fell unconscious. By the time I went to her, Nora and the servants had already transferred her body to her room. Even a healer was done checking up on her and told Nora that she was fine. Now, she slept in her room peacefully. The guests were sent home safely and the castle was cleaned. In a short while, everything looked as new as ever. But, it didn’t put my mind at ease. My wolf was restless, and after a long time, I could feel it. We had marked each other but hadn’t mated and he wouldn’t settle until the deed was done.“ She had Ryder in her arms when I came. Even in that state, no one could take him away from her. She protected him until I came back. ” Nora sighed, recalling t
TYSON “ Where do you think Dustin disappeared to? ” I shook my head and leaned back. Dark Fog extinguished the eternal fire and left me in the dark again. I couldn’t bother to look at Striker, but I knew he was seeing the same thing as me. “ He must be hiding in the corner somewhere. ” Striker snickered, trying to lighten the chilly atmosphere. The bodies that came at us this time were aggressive and fought back. I had a hard time knocking them when I found multiple dead bodies lunging at me, jumping at my back, reaching for my throat, my eyes, my nose and everywhere they could reach. I was swarmed with the bones that clung to me and pushed me to my knees with their weight. That was an odd experience, getting buried under the dead people. I sucked in a few labored breaths. The putrid smell of death filled me, making me dizzy and suffocated. My hands landed on the ground. I could feel the grass clinging to my skin as if it were drawn to me. Gritting my teeth, I let the pent-up
TYSONI felt uneasy. It was not because of Aleister but because my guts told me I shouldn’t have left Amelia alone.But, I couldn’t go to her now. We were already so far. The King of the South had half my Kingdom under his control, and Striker's fire was the only thing that could cut through the veil of Darkness that seemed to be the root of mind control. Nora, Dustin, and I followed him as he let his fire burn through the ground. The quarreling, compelled people started to break out of their daze and came to their senses as soon as they saw the light.We were far from the castle now, and all I heard was silence behind the walls. It was almost like there was a barrier around Eastcairn Citadel that didn’t let any noise leave the place.“ I shouldn’t have listened to you, Dustin. ” I scoffed as we came to a halt in the open field.“ He knows something we don’t. Again. That’s why he insists on walking this way. ” Nora scoffed.She was equally uneasy because she had to leave a sleeping R
AMELIAMy lungs ached as the hands tightened around my throat. I tried to breathe but all I could manage was a broken gasp.Why? The question echoed in my head. Why did I have to die? Why was he trying to kill me?‘ Your existence is meaningless. You are not needed. ’ He answered as if he could hear everything in my head.I am needed—I wanted to shout.My eyes bulged as I failed to breathe. I tried to claw my way out but my arms were pinned. My necklace was torn from my neck. My earrings went next. They tore my dress and ripped my hair. I was too desperate for oxygen to feel pain. Silently, I wondered if Tyson could feel what I was feeling. I wished he couldn’t. I didn’t want him to be hurt because of me. ‘ See for yourself how insignificant you are. ’ His voice whispered in my head.And I saw what he wanted to show me. I saw Mom, and Dad, and Adelia. They were happy without me—Happy and Alive. I saw Avery and Tyson and the rest of their friends, their family—They were complete wit
AMELIAMy neck burned and energy swarmed through my limbs. Ignoring the drilling pain inside my head, I pushed myself to my feet.Tyson rose with me, his hands gripping my arms protectively.“ Lia… ”“ Go… ”“ Have…”Tyson’s lips were moving. He was saying something to me but the occasional ringing in my ears didn’t let me catch onto whatever he was trying to tell me.His eyes were narrowed, his hold tight over my arms.It was like my head was underwater, or something was trying to keep my head under. The pain grew, and so did the burning in my neck. The little energy I had was shared through the mate mark, and it made it harder for the King of the South to get inside my head.I shook my head, trying to break free but it only made me realize how hard it was to move my neck. I was stiff like a board. My mind was not the only thing on the verge of succumbing to the power striking my skull.Suddenly, a huge line of fire swished beside me, cutting through the dark fog. I gasped, and the t
