2024-10-29 19:42:56Lizette’s P.O.V.
“The mating ball will change your life for sure, Liz!” My mom’s words were ringing in my mind when I went to the academy the next morning. However, my BFF, Liana grabbed my arm at the entrance. “How are you feeling now, Liz? Sam told me about you and Stella. I tried your number; it was switched off. Where were you?” She slightly lowered her glasses and looked at me like her eyes did an x-ray of my face, I found it hard to lie. “I went to see my mom. She gave me injection, so I am feeling fine now..” As she was aware of my family issues, my short response satisfied her. Liana looked around and whispered in my ears. “Did you smell your mate, Liz?” A hard knot constricted my throat as the scenes of rejection tormented me again, I barely smiled and shook my head. “No, not yet.” “Hurray!” Liana clapped and announced gleefully. “Then we can go to the ball together.” Liana was the daughter of the Pack’s Beta; her rank was like a savior for me. Even Stella stayed away when she was around. I sighed in relief and walked towards the locker room with my BFF. Liana was chirping like a happy bird, overexcited by the fact that unmated wolves from every corner of the Kingdom were coming to attend the ball. That was when we met Brandon in the locker aisle. His fresh look and a hot girl beside him crumbled my world around me, twisting my guts. Whereas he smiled as usual and said, “Hey, you two!” Onyx howled and hid herself in the darkness of my mind, she was unable to face our ex-mate so soon. Thankfully, Liana responded to him, eyeing that blonde beauty in red miniskirt head to toe. “Hey, Brandon! New girlfriend?” Brandon leaned in and whispered something in Blondie’s ear, she flicked her hair and sashayed towards the library. Then he turned towards us. “Nope, she’s Madelyn Spencer from the Nightfall pack. She’s here to attend the ball.” “A Spanish girl?” Liana was amazed, “Cool! Will you attend the ball on Friday, Brandon?” Brandon shuddered and replied with a query of his own. “Not sure. Will you two go?” His questioning gaze pierced my soul, demanding an answer. But I averted my face, just like he did yesterday. Liana noticed my silence and replied, “Of course! I’ve just asked Liz, she said she didn’t find her mate either. I wish you would come with us.” Liana’s offer didn’t sit well with my heartbreak, tears pooled in my as I excused myself. “Sorry, Liana. I need to use the bathroom.” I didn’t wait for her response and rushed towards the girl’s bathroom. The cold-water splashes on my face knocked some sense in my head. “Why are you getting jealous to see Madelyn with Brandon? You should behave normally. Stop thinking about him now!” Glaring at my reflection in the mirror, I scolded myself. “He doesn’t want you, Lizette. From now on, he’s just a friend, nothing else.” … “Lycan King is especially coming to attend this mating ball, Liz. Buy a pretty dress.” My mom sent me money for the new outfit with this message and after the academy, Liana dragged me to the mall for shopping. Despite my disinterest, I just tagged along as she literally loaded me with dresses and pushed me into a trial room. “We need to look the hottest, the most happening girls, Liz!” I wore a blue dress half-heartedly and came out to see how Liana was doing. As expected, she was still arguing with the salesgirl about styling. She gasped as her gaze fell on me. “OMG! You look stunning whatever you wear, Liz!” Her exaggeration about my ethereal beauty amused me, so I stepped back inside the trial room to try another dress in front of the mirror. Long brown hair, almond brown eyes, and an hourglass-like body, the Moon Goddess had created me a beautiful girl. But what was the use of this gorgeous figure when my mate didn’t even flinch before rejecting me! Suddenly, Liana’s voice startled me from the adjacent fitting room. “What’s wrong with you and Brandon?” Her solemn tone caught me off guard, but I lied to cover up. “Nothing special!” Luckily, Liana didn’t dwell on it, and passed on to another hot topic. “Did you see that girl, Madelyn? She’s good-looking. I guess Brandon will accept her as our new Luna.” Madelyn’s Alpha status, and the power of the Nightfall pack supported her notion. It was very likely that Brandon would choose a she-wolf like her. I didn’t utter even a single word and walked out in an awkward, off-white mermaid-style dress. Liana was already out, wearing a green mini dress. “This is perfect! What about the look on your face? Is there any problem with its fitting, Liz?” I showed her the exact fitting and sighed, “You know that I have never worn these types of dresses. I’m just uncomfortable!” Liana’s hand flew to cover her face and exclaimed, “This outfit is a must. Leave the others and take this one with you. You can get anyone you want at the ball.” “Except Brandon!” I took a deep breath and punched her shoulder playfully. “Stop overreacting! It’s injurious to health.” Liana didn’t stop at it and continued, “And you’re a virgin, devoting yourself to your future mate. That lucky guy will definitely cherish you for this!” I brushed off her commentary and paid for the dress. Suddenly, Liana realized that she hadn’t exploded my world with her nonsense yet, “Wear your pearl necklace with it, Liz. I have talked to my dad; he has arranged our five-minute meeting with Lycan King Vincent. He is unmated, it’s your chance to impress him with your beauty!”Related chapters

Lizette’s P.O.V. Friday night! Throughout the week, Liana ate my brain with different information regarding the Lycan King for that meeting. “Oh, my gosh, Liz. King Vincent Lawrence is dope. See, what have I found on this site?” She downloaded all the details, and articles about him and currently, she was bombarding me with that news in the ball. “He’s thirty-eight years old, 1.96 meters tall, and June Gemini. And the most important thing, he’s the richest businessman in our supernatural world.” I didn’t pay any heed to her bulletin, and looked around, mesmerized by the beauty of the arrangements. I had seen this luxurious hall before, but today, everything was top-notch. In addition to the fancy lights decor outside, the hall was all classy and stylish. The ceilings and posh chandeliers sparked different colors as though colorful gemstones were used to design them, making the hall look magical. However, its beauty lost its attraction when Stella appeared bef

Vincent’s P.O.V. “Smile please!” Beta Arlo turned from the driving seat to click my picture; his toothy smile irked me. “You blackmailed me with my mom’s order to attend this idiotic mating ball. What else do you want?” The air inside our Range Rover crackled with tension as my sharp words hurled at him like a blade. But still, my Beta aka my official advisor was unfazed by my authority. “Take it as an official meeting, Your Majesty. The Silver Claw pack’s territory is a rich business hub. I have emailed the possible projects which we can discuss with Alpha Marco.” After a three-hour, boring flight and thirty-minute drive, Arlo finally spilled the beans about the significance of this trip. I swiftly opened my laptop to study the proposal, numerous business opportunities instantly removed the haze of vexation. “You should have told me before, Arlo!” Hiding the glee of my inner businessman, I feigned anger and scolded him. “You are my friend, that’s why I am sparing y

Vincent’s P.O.V. “You’re so handsome, Prince Charming!” My little mate giggled, circling her arms around my neck. The attractive green color of her eyes was a hint of her wolf’s elation. “Your jawline is sharp; did you get surgery?” We hadn’t even exchanged names, and that wolf was asking me weird questions. Securing her in my embrace, I stepped into our room for tonight’s mating ritual. It was nearly impossible to see anything else except her alluring countenance, which was shining like a full moon in the sky. After closing the door shut, I corrected her softly. “I’m a King, Erasthai! Not a Prince Charming.” My statement confused her, my curious gaze followed her fingers as she traced my cheeks. “But you are too young to be a King. Are you trying to impress me with lies?” She fluttered her eyelashes innocently and whispered in my ear. “If yes, then there’s no need for it. I like you.” Resting her head on my shoulder, she inhaled my scent deeply. And for the

Lizette’s P.O.V. “Mine!” A man’s stern voice was echoing in my ears when I woke up with a severe headache. The sun was bright outside, a sun ray peered through the glass window, illuminating the walls with a burst of rainbow delight. Wait a second! A spacious room with a window? The softness of the mattress beneath me instantly alarmed me, I was totally taken aback by the surroundings. “Oh, my Goddess. Where am I?” I got up in haste, my foot stuck in a comfortable blanket. This was another shock as my dorm room didn’t have such types of facilities in it. Currently, I have been sharing a ten-by-ten room with two girls. Our hard bunker beds, and thin blankets were difficult to afford. Then how could I get this update overnight? Rubbing my eyes, I looked around to inspect the location, a realization hit me hard. “Off-white decor, lilac paintings, and Hello Kitty bed? Oh, my gosh! I’m in my dad’s villa!” My eyes bulged out of their sockets as I glanced at the room where I h
Rejected by Alpha, Saved by the Lycan King Biggest decision
Lizette’s P.O.V. The suffocating silence prevailed in the surroundings as King Vincent kept glaring at me, like he was giving me a chance to change my query as swiftly as possible. Alas! He was simply mistaken! I stared back at him bravely, not giving a damn about his Royal authority. This sudden order of moving had run me out of patience, ending the era of a spineless Lizette. My love for Brandon, his rejection, and my compromise with eternal loneliness had hardened my injured heart. I was fed up with all the ill-treatment, unwilling to let anyone dictate my future. This King’s command was just the last straw! The unending staring competition between me and King Vincent was going to be a tie as neither of us were ready to back off. So, my mom jumped in as a referee. “What are you saying, Liz? King Vincent had already waited until morning to go back. You should ...” My mom was praising the exemplary conduct of my mate, but my dad didn’t consider it enough. He scolded me in
Rejected by Alpha, Saved by the Lycan King My life
Lizette’s P.O.V. King Vincent’s eyes changed their color for a second before he could compose himself, the look of surprise on his face confused me. Was he really thinking that I would give up my life just for a stranger? The air crackled with tension as he spun on his heels sharply, leaving without uttering a single word. My parents’ startling gasps resounded in my ears, they both begged simultaneously. “Please don’t leave, Your Majesty!” But before their pleas could reach that King, he was gone. His assistant stopped my dad, “Please don’t try to follow His Majesty. As Her Highness wishes to continue her studies, we’ll discuss this matter in the Court, and then inform you about the final decision. Until then, take care of our Queen on our behalf.” … My dad grounded me for being rude to my mate and scolded my mom. “It’s all your fault, Ursula. You didn’t teach your daughter to behave well.” Locked in my room, I was listening to that live broadcast of my parents’ fight. I

Vincent’s P.O.V. “Lizette Bancroft. Age 18, one of the brightest students in the Silver Claw academy!” The file containing all the information about my Erasthai was presented by Beta Arlo, he was lecturing me as usual. “Our Queen is alone in the Silver Claw Pack. When will you call her parents?” He turned the pages of the file and pointed out the contact information. “Here are the links to her social media accounts and contact number. Be a man and contact your Erasthai, she must be waiting for you.” “No one is waiting for me!” Fed up by his nosiness, I flipped the table and growled furiously. “That little she-wolf has preferred to study for that stupid graduation over me. Let her stay in that pack to live her life. I’m not interested in a stubborn teenager!” Arlo took two steps back to avoid flying contents of my office table, gasping in disbelief. “Calm down, Your Majesty! Where is your logic? Your Erasthai is young, chasing her dreams like you did in your teen years

Lizette’s P.O.V. “How dare you!” My heart jumped to my throat as my eyes flew open, the sight of a half-shifted lycan growling furiously, shook the ground below me. Puffing her chest with pride, Onyx announced proudly. “Look, Liz! Our mate is here for us. He’s back!” King Vincent? The tall, mighty lycan growing out of his expensive suit was none other than my mate. His blood-red eyes shot fiery daggers at my class fellows as he ordered using his Royal command. “Execute these wolves for insulting my Erasthai. All these nasty spectators will be blinded to enjoying this scene.” A chorus of pitiful cries echoed in the aisle as everyone knelt, baring their necks in submission. “Please have some mercy, Your Majesty!” These severe punishments twisted my guts with fear as I felt a cold dread touching my spine, riveting to my spot. I experienced a massive jumpscare as King Vincent’s assistant, who came to my parents’ Villa, rushed towards me and spoke, “His Majesty is furio

Lizette’s P.O.V “I knew it!” Vincent’s ear-shattering growl shook the ground below my feet as he punched that attacker, cursing his entire race. “You aren’t a trustworthy person, leech. I will kill you tonight!” Ares’s death threat instantly converted into reality as he bared his claws, adamant on tearing that vampire apart. My trance was broken by my friend’s pleading. “Save me, Lizette!” Dylan? With his mouth smeared by blood, Dylan was helplessly enduring Vincent’s blows. I had to personally separate them as keeping Vincent at bay was impossible. He roared in fury. “Don’t come in between us, Little Swan. I caught him in the act tonight. He can’t escape the penalty!” Cradling Vincent’s face in my hands, I asked him to look at me. “Look, Vincent! Dylan is a Prince, not an idiot to endanger his fellows’ life like this. Give him a chance to explain himself.” Vincent’s amber eyes glowed golden as he took deep breaths to calm down, but Dylan added fuel to his f

Lizette’s P.O.V.“Don’t go there alone. Wait for me!”Obviously not!I brushed off Vincent’s reservations and went with Liana, her brother came with us to take his sister back home safely. The doctors had advised us to keep an eye on her, so it wasn’t safe to let her roam outside in the dark.I followed her lead as she pointed towards the north.“I saw her there, Liz!”This forest was my home, so I didn’t need more assistance for guidance. I sent Liana away with Casper, waiting for them to leave safely. Then, moving forward, I looked around curiously.“This way!”A hushed whisper alarming me raised small hair on my nape, running a chill down my spine. The rustling of leaves in the mysterious wind accompanied that whispering as it continued,“We have seen everything. Allow us to show you, dear buddy.”Whoa!Dear buddy?It was a terminology I used to address my tree friends, naming every tree was difficult in these massive woods. Calming my racing heart, I placed my hand on

Lizette’s P.O.V.“I am coming!”A cry emerged from the depths of my heart as I forced my feeble legs to run as fast as possible, following a superfast creature wasn’t easy for an omega like me.But still, I hastened my steps, calling that cruel fox.“Leave this bunny alone, monster!”In normal circumstances, hunting for hunger was a usual matter. But my emotional attachment to this specific scene drove me nuts. On top of it, I realized that this chase was fruitless after seeing the rabbit barely dodging the fox’s expert jump. A bullet of panic rose in my chest as my entire existence shrieked.“No!!!”At the height of helplessness, a sudden adrenaline rush burst through my veins, energizing my soul. I spread my arms as if my body had a mind of its own. Splaying my fingers in the direction of the fox, I spoke in a strong tone.“Protect my bunny!”As soon as these words rolled out of my tongue, the unrivaled authority of my order alerted the trees around me. My heart raced l

Lizette’s P.O.V.“A dinner?”My dad’s sudden planning left me aghast, I couldn’t get what he wanted exactly. Two hours ago, he kicked Vincent out, endangering his life by attacking his King. And now, he asked mom to prepare dinner. It was uncalled-for.Dad didn’t bother to respond to my curiosity and took out his cell phone, dialing a number. I was still under the haze of shock when the call connected, disclosing his habitual call for help.As my dad’s side of the family was martyred in the last war, he was the last survivor of the Bancroft family. He was used to calling my grandma for every problem, seeking her guidance like she was his own mom. That was what he did now, and explained my situation for her advice.Grandma spoke in her soft tone, “Get Liz on call, Harvey. I will talk to her.”Mom and dad went outside, giving me privacy in my room. On video call, my grandma was in tears, “So much happened and no one told me. I am sorry, Liz.

Lizette’s P.O.V.Although it was an out of the blue offer, I got excited, anywhere else was better than staying in the Palace. The wretched memories attached to this massive building made me hostile towards it. I finally felt at peace after boarding the plane. The flight back to the Silver Claw Pack was nostalgic, reminding me how enthusiastic I was before coming to see my mate’s pack. Closing my eyes, I relaxed in the seat, reminiscing about the past when I was eager to leave the Silver Claw Pack.My soul belonged to the lycan pack way before going there. Call it the magic of mate-bond or love of my mate, the pack I grew up in became a foreign, strange town, making me feel weird. I just wanted to have a pair of wings to go to Vincent’s home that time. Chuckling inwardly, I pondered over odd twists of fate which had pushed me to the point where the Lycan Pack and Silver Claw Pack both weren’t my home anymore. I wasn’t sure to whom my heart belonged to.Perhaps it was buried i

Lizette’s P.O.V. “Confess your crimes!” Vincent’s thunderous growl reverberated in the surroundings, shaking me to the core. He roared in fury, forcing everyone into submission. Lady Isabella and Evangeline, kneeling on the floor trembled in fear, their quivering voices sounded like a symphony to my ears. “Please forgive me, Your Majesty!” Even after everything, I was amazed that they had the guts to ask for forgiveness. Maybe they were certain that their strong connection and services to the throne would save them. After all, why would anyone convict his old companions only because of a mere omega? The spark of interest I felt a few moments ago, has now vanished in thin air, surrounding me with the dark shadows of grief. It was my fate to live like an ordinary omega. Hopeless for my future, I watched the full court’s proceeding as if a film were playing for me. Lady Isabella was the first one to speak. “I apologize for my slandering Her Highness, Your Majesty.

Lizette’s P.O.V.***“It’s a white bunny!”Sprinting in the woods, I spotted a lovely white bunny, the one I always wanted for me. A wave of exhilaration washed over me as I started following that cute creature, hoping for the best.“Now, I won’t be lonely!”The gusts of fresh morning breeze caressed my face as I moved forward, making me feel liberated. It was like I had tasted freedom after a long time, the rich essence of nature rejuvenated my soul. The soft gleams of sunlight illuminating my path brought a sense of familiarity. I was pleasantly surprised to see my pack’s forest. The miracle of returning to my home added to the joy of chasing my dream.I giggled as the bunny hopped over the bushes and bumped into the tree branches. “Easy, my dear!I am not an enemy. Please stop!I will take care of you.”My soft voice perked up bunny’s ears as he paused to look at me with his sparkling puppy doe eyes, melting my heart.

Vincent’s P.O.V.“Why this?”The world around me spun on its axis as the tab almost slipped from my hands, I couldn’t believe my eyes for a moment.After reading ‘DNC’ written in bold letters, I stared at the doctor, waiting for an explanation. Doctor Sarah’s desperate tone cut through the air as she requested.“I am sorry, Your Majesty. But your child is dead. We need to perform this procedure to save Her Highness’s life. Please …”“No!!!”My mouth opened in a silent scream as I gaped, uncertain whether to scream or breathe. The sharp blade of revelation sliced my heart into two. I stumbled backwards, losing my footing for a brief moment as gargantuan grief enveloped me. I couldn’t even muster the tears to mourn my loss.Just a few hours ago, I was the happiest man in the world, planning celebrations for my son. The news of my heir had solved all my problems.

Vincent’s P.O.V. “Good morning, mom!” My spy came with the video recording of the last six hours, it started with my Little Swan’s respectful greetings. They were standing in front of my office, so I guessed that Little Swan went there to inform me. “You are so smart to ask for my permission when I was in a formal meeting. I should applaud for your slyness, omega! Only you can come up with such innovative methods to go out and meet your lover.” “My lover?” Little Swan gasped, “What do you mean by it, mom? I went to see a doctor.” My Little Swan’s response wasn’t considered by my mom, as she continued with her previous statement. “Don’t you ever take me as a clueless idiot, omega! You can fool my innocent son, not me. I have seen through your lies.” With that, mom opened a light-brown envelope and threw the pictures on Little Swan’s face, spewing out hatred. “Look at your intimate pictures, and then advocate for your purity, promiscuous woman. You dared to have p
