[Carys]I signed the sale agreement and slid the file across the table to Joshua. He checked the documents.“Perfect,” he said. His gaze dropped to my cleavage. I cleared my throat. He looked into my eyes.The notification lit up on my phone screen. “Money received. Thanks,” I said and got up from the chair.“That scar on your chest… how did you get it?” Joshua asked.“Got it tattooed by the most famous tattoo artist in Xafran,” I said.“Tattoo that’s burnt and carved by a blade on your skin? What kind of tattoo artist does that?” He asked.“Special kind?” I shrugged.He closed the file, got up and walked round the table towards me.“Wanna go on a walk?” He stretched out his hand.I stared at his hand. “I can walk on my own two feet without needing extra support, Alpha.”He smiled, shaking his head.We strolled down the familiar paths. I looked back towards the palace. I knew Joshua would try to isolate me from Verity and that is what we planned on.By now, Verity would be with t

[Carys] “What rubbish!” Joshua growled. “Don’t listen to her, Carys. She is lying. She just doesn’t want you with me. When she can plan an attack on herself just to keep you away from me, weaving these webs of lies isn’t a big thing. Besides! There is no way she can know what happened in our lives ten years ago.” “Then you tell her what happened,” Edith said. “You can give her better details about how you induced the miscarriage and corrupted the doctors to manipulate her medical reports.” Joshua clenched his jaws and glared at Edith. “I know what you are trying to do. You are seeding distrust between us. But it won’t work. Carys knows me well enough to fall into your trap…” “I don’t,” I said, staring at the album lying near my feet. “Who… who are you?” I looked at Joshua. “Joshua?” I shook my head. “You are not him.” “Poor girl. The man you kept calling your bestie stabbed you in the back again and again while you kept questioning the source of your wounds. I know the truth will
Rebound to the Lycan Alpha 74. Snow White
[Kian]My fingers rested on the keys of my laptop, but I didn’t even know what I was doing. I was lost somewhere in her tears and the last kiss we shared.The worst had already happened. Still, there was a foreboding in my chest.I curled up my fingers and shut the laptop. I couldn’t concentrate on anything, no matter how hard I tried. My thoughts kept wandering back to the illusion I witnessed in the Forest of Mirrors. I rubbed my stinging eyes with the heels of my palms. Shutting my eyes, I ran my fingers through my hair, leaning back into the chair. Hoot!Snow White screeched, perched on the windowsill of my office.I looked at her.“The window’s open, Snow White. Fly out if you want,” I said.But she didn’t stop screeching.I let out a sigh and got up, walking closer to the window.“What is it? You want me to close the window?” I asked, looking at her. She turned her head 360 degrees and screeched again, looking outside the window. “What do you want me to do?” I asked, follow
Rebound to the Lycan Alpha 75. Deep conflicts
[Carys]My body had been constantly shaking from the moment I saw Xander throw Snow White’s lifeless body on the ground and lung towards me.How could I have been so blind all these years? I was his beta for ten years. Why is it I never even suspected that something was wrong with him? He had been my closest friend almost all my life, yet I never knew him beyond the perfectly curated version of himself he presented to me.Only if I wasn’t stupid enough to be so easily manipulated by him, I could have protected everything and everyone I lost. And once again…I looked at Kian, who impatiently searched for some kind of magical card in his deck of cards. Cards were spread all over his desk. Some were even on the floor. He looked through the cards on the last deck and threw them away as well. The cards fluttered to the floor.I peered at him, lost in the tsunami of thoughts and conflicting emotions. Maybe now I know how he felt when I blamed him for my miscarriage. Because at the moment, I
Rebound to the Lycan Alpha 76. Alpha King
[Carys]All the way to the Neutral zone, Kian didn’t say a word. He just kept peering outside the window, looking at the clouds and birds sprinting behind us. Verity and I sat together on the private plane that Alpha King had sent to pick us up. Silence felt safest in that five-hour flight. Once we landed in the Neutral zone, we were taken to Alpha King’s palace instead of AAC’s headquarters. Verity said she had direct orders from Alpha King to bring me safely to his palace. Getting invited to Alpha King’s palace wasn’t something that happened daily because King Elysar kept his personal life and family away from the eyes of the world and media. So, except for rumors, the world knew nothing about his family members. That was, of course, for the peace, privacy and security of his family.Except for Liam and a few of his trusted people, even AAC didn’t have much access into King’s palace. So, it just made me wonder how important this meeting was going to be.After a fifteen minute dri
Rebound to the Lycan Alpha 77. Enmity
[Carys]“What incident?” I asked.“During one hunt, Calista was rivaled against Raphael, Kian’s father and… she won. And things went downhill for her from there. As the camps went on, everyone in the camp started distancing themselves from Calista. Not just lycans, but werewolves too hesitated from going near her or talking to her. Since Calista mostly spent her time alone reading books, we didn’t find it odd. We thought maybe staying alone is what she wants, but it took us some time to understand that she was facing social rejection.” He got up and poured tea into three cups. He passed me and Kian a cup each. “But her performance just got better and better. Hunting became an emotional outlet for her and it was in killing that she found refuge. A very negative and dangerous state of mind to be in for a werewolf. It was later we found out the actual reason…” King glanced at Kian and continued after sipping on his tea. “Raphael and his friends had threatened everyone in the camp. Th

[Kian] Carys was drenched in sweat. She clenched her fists in a desperate attempt to hide the trembling of her hands. A past so wrecked the only way her mind coped up with it was by making her forget all those excruciating memories. I couldn’t even imagine how broken she would be after being rescued from her own mother. No wonder she never talked about her childhood and whenever she did, it was always about her father. The mere thought of her enduring such a dark past was heart-wrenching. It pained me to even imagine a weak, scared, vulnerable kid going through all that. How heartless one had to be to torture their own child and for what? “Mate bond’s not ours? What does that even mean?” she asked. King Elysar looked at her, but didn’t reply. He was lost in his thoughts for a few seconds. “Fine.” He said, getting up. “Would you mind coming with me? There’s something I think you should see and it might make more sense to you because honestly, I am not a genius and as a two hundr
Rebound to the Lycan Alpha 79. Fae lord
[Kian]“Wait, you can read this?” Carys asked Alpha King.“Yes,” King Elysar said.I looked at the foreign letters on the pages of that book. “What language is this?” I asked.“Faemorish,” Carys said. “Ruin said it was an extinct language. How do you know it?” Carys contemplated King Elysar.“Oh. Well…” he cleared his throat. “I am old. I know stuff you guys don’t.”Carys narrowed her eyes, examining King Elysar.“It might just be a rumor, but people say the Neutral zone was enchanted by fae magic. In case it’s true, how did you get access to fae magic? Because that too went extinct centuries ago,” Carys said. “And if you deny it, then how would you explain the decrease in the Alphas’ powers when they enter the Neutral zone? Making you the Alpha King, the most powerful.”“Carys…” I held her elbow. She looked at me over her shoulder and then glanced back at the King.“I didn’t mean to put it offensively. I am just trying to make sense of everything, like you said, Alpha King. I know e
