The walk to Cassidy's childhood house is longer than I remember. Or maybe it just feels that way with Aries still simmering in my head, his irritation palpable.

"That woman," he grumbles, referring to Queen Rhoda. "Thinks she can dictate everything, control everyone. She gave up on her own son and now wants to control me? She’s delusional."

I sigh, rubbing my temples as I approach the nicely large stone house on the path to the main gate of the estate "Just let me handle this, Aries."

"You always say that, but I’m still waiting for the day you actually put someone in their place for good."

"Noted," I mutter under my breath.

The door swings open before I can knock. Alma stands there, her light blonde hair pulled back, warm green eyes scanning my face. “Come in, dear.”

The scent of herbal tea and lavender fills the air as I step inside. This home always feels like a safe haven, away from the chaos of the estate.

She gestures toward the mahogany table near the fireplace.

“Tea?” she asks

  • Kidnapped By The Lycan Prince    Chapter 96:

    I close the door behind me, leaning against it as I exhale. The air in my room is still, heavy with thoughts I don’t want to have.Aries has been quiet since I left Alma’s, but the weight of his presence lingers like an unsaid word. I step toward the bed, kicking off my boots, my mind circling around the conversation with the Queen.Why does it bother me?Cain is the reason I almost died in Moonhaven. The reason I spent nights covered in wounds that refused to heal. The reason I was in a coma for I dunno how long. He's also the reason I'm currently mated to his younger brother, and part the reason why all these insane rumours about me were even created in the first place.He is the one waging war against his own family, not caring if their blood stains the battlefield. So why does the Queen’s acceptance of his death feel… wrong?"Because you think a mother should never abandon her child."Aries’ voice slithers back into my mind, a smug lilt in his tone."Admit it, little wolf. It

    Stepping back into Caspian’s room feels like slipping into a warm embrace. The familiar scent of roses and something uniquely him wraps around me, settling deep into my bones. This space has been mine before. Ours. And now, I’m back.I take a slow breath, letting the reality of it settle. The tension I didn’t even realize I was holding melts away as the heavy wooden door clicks shut behind me."Well, well," Aries drawls in my head, his voice laced with amusement. "Look who came crawling back.""Shut up.""No, no. Let’s savor this moment. Didn’t you say you’d stand your ground? That you’d make him work for it?""I am making him work for it," I argue."Sure. That’s why you’re standing in his room, looking like a lost pup that finally found its way home."I ignore him, my gaze sweeping across the space. Nothing has changed. The dark wooden furniture, the thick brown and cream curtains, the bed that suddenly feels much larger than I remember. The memory of the nights spent wrapped in C

  • Kidnapped By The Lycan Prince    Chapter 98:

    Caspian hasn’t stopped watching me all evening. It’s not the intense, possessive gaze I’m used to—no, this is different. Softer. Careful. As if he’s afraid I’ll slip through his fingers if he so much as breathes wrong.I just moved back into his room after everything that happened, after all the space I forced between us. He’s afraid to push too hard, afraid I’ll pull away again.But I won’t.Not anymore.He brushes his thumb over the back of my hand, the warmth of his skin sending a shiver up my arm. “You’re really here.”I smile faintly. “I am.”He exhales slowly, as if my answer alone eases something heavy in his chest.His fingers tighten around mine. “I thought I’d lost you.”I shake my head. “You didn’t.”A humorless chuckle escapes him. “You say that like I didn’t deserve to.”I squeeze his hand, my voice softer now. “Caspian…”He tilts his head, grey eyes searching mine. “You moved back into my room. You’re here, with me. But I need to know if you’re really here.”"I know you

    I wake up to the warmth of Caspian’s body wrapped around mine, his steady breathing brushing against my bare shoulder. The faint morning light filters through the heavy curtains, casting a golden glow across the room. My body feels sore, but in the best way possible. I remember everything—his hands, his lips, the way he made me feel like I was the only thing that mattered in the world.I shift slightly, still pressed against his chest, and let out a soft sigh. We’re fully mated now. The bond between us hums in the depths of my soul, stronger than ever. There’s no more uncertainty, no more distance. He’s mine. I’m his.But I feel Aries on the surface, lingering in the back of my mind, his presence heavy and quiet. Not his usual sarcastic self."Aries?" I reach out to him.For a moment, he doesn’t respond. Then, in a voice I don’t recognize—solemn, almost lost—he says, "Honestly? I don’t know how to feel."That startles me. "What do you mean?""We’re mated. Fully connected. To Caspia

    The study is dimly lit, the flickering candlelight casting long shadows along the stone walls. The scent of old parchment and polished wood lingers in the air, mixing with the faintest trace of something floral—probably the Queen’s preferred incense.I step inside, careful to keep my expression neutral. The King and Queen are seated behind the grand oak desk, their faces unreadable. But I can see the difference.King Damon looks tired.Not wary, not stern—just tired. His ink black hair now streaked with the silver of stress, is slightly disheveled, the usual sharpness in his eyes dulled by something I can’t quite place.Queen Rhoda, on the other hand, is as composed as ever. Regal, elegant, and completely in control. She’s the one who speaks first.“Delilah.” Her voice is smooth, her tone betraying nothing. “We have given further thought to your mating bond with our son.”I don’t move, don’t react. Instead, I wait.A beat of silence. Then—“We have decided to recognize it.”The wor

    I sit on the edge of Caspian’s bed, staring at the darkening sky through the massive windows. The deep hues of violet and burnt orange bleed into the horizon, mirroring the turmoil inside me. My fingers grip the plush comforter as my heartbeat drums a steady rhythm against my ribs.Any moment now, the King and Queen will announce my mating to Caspian—to the entire pack officially.So if anyone was hoping that it was a fluke or that the king and queen would never permit it, tonight is going to be solid proof that it's real.That it's happening.I will become the future Queen of the Lycans.Aries hums in amusement, his presence a warm, golden hum in my chest. "Queen Delilah. Has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it, sweetheart?"I scoff. "That’s what you’re thinking about right now?""Oh, forgive me for reveling in our victory. Should I be gnawing my nails like some weakling over whether these royal mutts accept you?" He stretches lazily. "Because, frankly, I couldn’t care less. We won, darl

    The Grand Hall is alive with the hum of voices, the clinking of silverware against fine porcelain, and the rich, earthy scent of roasted meats and spiced wine. Candles flicker in their golden sconces, casting a warm glow over the long banquet tables draped in deep emerald cloth. The air carries a celebratory charge, thick with the lingering energy of the King’s announcement.I stand beside Caspian, my hand loosely clasped in his. His presence is a steadying force against the waves of Lycans approaching us. Each one bows their head in respect before addressing him first."Your Highness."Then, their gaze shifts to me, hesitant at first, but there’s no hostility now—only submission."Princess Delilah," they say, one by one, the title still foreign to my ears.A few of them murmur apologies, their voices laced with guilt."We misjudged you.""We will stand by you as we do our Prince.""You have our loyalty now, as our future Queen."I nod, accepting their words with as much grace as I

    The air in our chambers is warm, carrying the lingering scent of firewood and the faint scent of Caspian’s cologne. The grand feast in our honor had stretched late into the night, and though my body is exhausted, my mind is far from settled.Caspian shuts the door behind us, locking out the world. His silver eyes flick to mine, dark with something unreadable. Power lingers in the room, the weight of the King’s decree still settling in my bones.Princess Delilah.The title feels foreign, like a crown that doesn’t quite fit."You’re quiet," he murmurs, stepping closer. "Too quiet."I shrug, toying with the jeweled pin in my hair. "I suppose I’m still processing."Caspian smirks, tilting his head. "Processing the fact that you’re no longer an outcast? That you’re royalty now?"I roll my eyes. "That, and the fact that half the Lycans who once wanted me gone are now swearing loyalty to me like it’s the most natural thing in the world."He chuckles, reaching for my hand. His touch is warm

  • Kidnapped By The Lycan Prince    Chapter 128: Caspian's POV

    The scent of blood lingers thick in the air, mixing with the damp earth beneath my boots. The moon barely cuts through the thick canopy of trees, casting long shadows over the fallen bodies. Their lifeless forms lie sprawled across the ground, the fight drained from them. It was over fast—too fast. Three rogues, dead before they even had a chance to scream. It’s not satisfying. It’s just... work.Ethan nudges one of the corpses with his boot, his expression bored. "Well, that was disappointing," he mutters, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "I was hoping they’d at least put up a decent fight. Maybe throw a punch or two. But no, they just flopped over like dead fish. Pathetic."I wipe the blood off my blade, watching as the crimson soaks into the dirt. The forest is quiet now, the only sound the rustle of leaves in the wind. "They weren’t fighters," I say, my voice even. "Just scouts. Testing the borders. Seeing how far they could push before we pushed back."Ethan scoffs, stepping

    The market square is bustling, the air thick with the scent of fresh bread and ripe fruit. I weave through the crowd, my basket swinging at my side, when I see him. Darius. My heart skips a beat, then plummets. He’s standing by the fountain, his dark hair catching the sunlight, his posture relaxed and confident. But it’s not just him. There’s a girl beside him, her laughter ringing out like a bell, too loud, too close. She’s beautiful, with black curls and a smile that seems to stretch too wide. They’re leaning in, heads almost touching, and my chest tightens.I shouldn’t care. We’re not officially mated yet, but we’re fated. He’s mine, and I’m his. So why does it feel like a knife is twisting in my gut?His head snaps up, as if he senses me watching. Our eyes lock, and for a moment, the world narrows to just him. His lips curl into that familiar smirk, the one that makes my stomach flutter even when I know it shouldn’t. He raises a hand, beckoning me over. My feet move before

    The dining hall hums with the clinking of silverware and the low murmur of conversation. The long wooden table is overflowing with roasted meats, steaming vegetables, and goblets of deep red wine that glisten under the flickering chandelier light. The air smells of rosemary and thyme, mingling with the faint metallic tang of the silverware. I move quietly around the table, refilling glasses and serving plates, trying to stay invisible. It’s a skill I’ve perfected over the years—being unseen, unheard. But tonight, my hands tremble, my thoughts a chaotic mess.At the head of the table, Alpha Rowan, my uncle, commands attention effortlessly. His hard golden eyes sweep over the council members as he discusses pack resources, his deep voice cutting through the room like a blade. He’s dressed in his usual dark tunic, the fabric tailored to perfection, the golden crest of Moonhaven embroidered on his chest. He looks every bit the Alpha, every bit the man who holds my fate in his hands.

    I sift through the files in my father’s royal study, the scent of aged parchment and oak filling the air. The fireplace crackles in the corner, casting flickering shadows across the dark walls lined with books of law, history, and the many conquests of Golden Crest. My father’s meticulous handwriting marks the margins of various documents, but one file catches my eye—a thick, yellowed folder labeled 'Moonhaven Case'.I pull it out and flip through the contents, my brow furrowing with every page. Moonhaven. The wolf pack that somehow broke out of Golden Crest’s authority. A lawless land, untouched by the kingdom's rule. And yet, here it is—a case file, an unresolved issue, one that should have been dealt with ten years ago.I clench my jaw. How the hell did my father let this slide?I slam the folder shut and lean back in the chair, my fingers drumming against the polished wood of his desk. This is unacceptable. A pack operating outside of our rule is a direct threat to our sove

    The kitchen is hot, steam rising from the pots on the stove and clinging to my skin like a second layer. My arms ache from carrying the pail of milk, the weight of it pulling at my shoulders. I’m not built for this—not like them. My human body is weak compared to theirs, and the cook never lets me forget it.“Hurry up, girl!” she snaps, her voice sharp as a whip. “You’re slower than a snail in winter. What’s taking you so long?”I bite my tongue, forcing myself not to respond. She’s been scolding me all morning, even though I’ve been on my feet since dawn, scrubbing floors, peeling vegetables, and hauling supplies. Nothing I do is ever enough for her. “I’m sorry,” I mutter, setting the pail down with a thud. My hands are trembling, and I can feel the blisters forming on my palms. “I’ll try to be faster.”“Try?” she scoffs, her hands on her hips. “You should be doing, not trying. Useless, that’s what you are. A human in a wolf’s world. What good are you?”I flinch at her words, but

    Theo’s room smells like him—like rain and something faintly metallic, like the edge of a storm. I’m on my knees, scrubbing at a stubborn stain on the wooden floor, my hands raw and stinging from the soap. The pack house is never clean enough for them, and neither am I. But Theo’s room is different. It’s quieter here, softer. The walls are lined with books, and the bed is always unmade, like he’s just rolled out of it. I don’t mind cleaning this space. It feels like the closest I’ll ever get to being part of something.The door creaks open, and I freeze. He’s here. I don’t look up, not right away. I keep scrubbing, even though my hands are trembling. I can feel his eyes on me, heavy and unreadable. “You don’t always have to do that,” Theo says, his voice low and steady. I finally glance up, and there he is, leaning against the doorframe, his arms crossed. He’s wearing a dark sweater that makes his hair look even lighter, almost golden in the dim light. He sends me a small smi

    The grand hall of the estate is eerily silent, save for the steady click of my father’s polished shoes against the marble floor. He stands in front of me, arms crossed, exuding the usual 'I-am-your-father-and-you-will-listen-to-me' energy. My mother is beside him, a perfectly composed ice sculpture in a designer dress, her sharp grey eyes—our sharp grey eyes—assessing me with the usual judgment."You're in charge while we're gone," my father announces, his voice firm and unyielding, as if he hasn’t already said this a hundred times.I don’t respond immediately, my hands shoved into the pockets of my tailored jacket. Instead, I glance out the tall windows, where the late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the estate grounds. The weight of his words settles over me, heavy and familiar. "I’m aware," I finally say, my tone low and measured.He raises an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed with my lack of enthusiasm. "This isn’t a joke, Caspian. The rogues are becoming bolder. They’re not

  • Kidnapped By The Lycan Prince    Bonus chapter 121: Delilah's POV

    (Before Goldencrest)The scent of pine and damp stone lingers in the air as I scrub the floors of the waiting area in the packhouse, the soapy water cool against my raw, reddened palms. The bristles of the brush scrape against the wooden planks, the repetitive motion soothing in a way that almost lets me forget where I am—what I am.Almost.Boots clunk against the floor, tracking dirt and grime over the freshly scrubbed surface. No one spares me a glance, no one acknowledges the work I do. It’s expected of me, the human among wolves, the weakest link in a pack that prides itself on strength. Even if my mother was once Alpha. Even if my uncle is now the reigning one. None of that matters. I’m nothing but an obligation, a stain they haven’t yet scrubbed away.A shadow falls over me, and before I can look up, the metal bucket beside me clatters to the ground. Water spills across the floor, soaking into my pants, drenching the small space I just finished cleaning."Oops," a voice draw

    The music swells around us, soft yet powerful, the perfect melody for a moment like this. My hand rests in Caspian's, and my other rests lightly on his shoulder as we glide across the ballroom floor. The golden chandeliers overhead bathe us in warm light, making everything shimmer—my silver gown, the golden embroidery on Caspian’s regal suit, the crown atop his head, and the one newly placed upon mine.The ceremony was breathtaking, a moment forever etched in my soul. I was not just Caspian’s mate now—I was his queen, standing beside him in every sense of the word. And now, at the reception, with laughter and celebration all around us, I finally allow myself to breathe, to feel the joy that tonight has brought.Caspian pulls me closer, his breath teasing my ear as he murmurs, “I have half a mind to steal you away from all these people.”I smile, tilting my head up to meet his gaze. “And risk the wrath of Cassidy? She’s spent a week planning this. I don’t think even you, King of Gol
