Rejected Mate: The Lycan King's claim 30
Katherine's POVA week had passed and I struggled to come down the rocky plain that led to the palace. For the seventh time, I was told that Kai had gone on a business trip and would be back soon but no one knew exactly when."Didn't meet him again today?" Elera asked me as soon as I got into the clinic."No, he is still not back," I said and sank into the settee in front of her.Now that we were close, she didn't seem as intimidating as she had been the first day we met. Trisha loved her and wouldn't stop demanding to see Aunt Elera. Elera in turn spoiled her silly and even treated her better than anyone else she probably knows."I'm sure he will return soon. King Kai never leaves his pack for so long, whatever he has gone for must have been really important if not a matter of life and death." She said to me and closed her eyes."You look tired. When was the last time you had a good night's sleep?" I asked her, seeing the size of eye bags she had and how red her eyes were."You know

Katherine's POVKai was taking too long to get back and everything I did to calm myself down was not helping. Even though I buried myself in work and made sure that I worked till I could barely feel my bones, nothing stopped my thoughts from always wandering to Kai all the time. There was not a single moment that passed by without me thinking of how amazing Kai and I would be when we finally got back together."You have a smile on your face, a penny for your thoughts?" I heard Dr. Dexter's voice from behind me.Ever since he started working here, he has been after me, chasing me everywhere around the clinic. I tried my best to avoid him and would have told Elera to send him away if not that he was awfully good at taking care of the shadow hunters' victims. He was also good at helping everywhere else and to be fair, he didn't let him chasing me around interfere with his work."Go away. I'm busy" I said and faced my front, refusing to turn around to meet his gaze."Why? I could help you

Katherine's POVI rubbed my hands on my skirt nervously as the sweat was beginning to gather. Finally facing him after so many years, the only thing on my mind was the speech that I had rehearsed so many times on my way here that I feared it would become a mantra for me."Let me have some privacy. I need to rest." I heard him ordering the guards as he entered the palace.Once our eyes met, he stopped in his tracks before walking up to me, his eyes filled with so much concern and confusion. It was almost like I was the last person he was expecting to be waiting for him."Is my daughter okay?" He demanded as soon as he got to me, seeing that I was physically fine."Yes, she is. We need to talk. In private." I said and he immediately led me by my hands to his chambers.I would have preferred us talking in a less private space but considering what I wanted to see him about, I figured his chambers was a smart decision. As soon as we got into his chambers, he led me to his meeting area and

King Kai's POVI stood there, clad in my seer costume, as my daughter looked at me and began to laugh. Katherine was right; she did not believe that I was really her father or anything like that. To her, we were just clowns trying to cheer her up or punish her for even trying to talk to me in the first place."Mom, I have apologized to you and told you that I have learned my lessons. You didn't have to drag him all the way here." She said and hugged her mother again.Katherine looked at me helplessly, almost like she was urging me to say something, but my tongue was stuck on the floor of my mouth."I think you should say something, Kai. She won't believe anything I say now." Katherine said, and I cleared my throat several times."Trisha, come here." I said and tapped my lap as I sat down on one of the wooden chairs in her living room.She walked towards me quietly and sat on my lap after getting a nod of approval from her mom. I was proud of her; she was a good daughter, one that anyo

Katherine's POV"What? You wouldn't blame me for doing what I had to do since I didn't know who to trust at the time." I said to him and laughed.My life was perfect again. Kai truly was my happiness, and I would do anything to make sure I did not lose the connection that we had."I'm happy you are back. There was nowhere that I did not search for you. Roma is actually a strong woman. I went to her to ask if she knew where you had gone, but she said no." Kai said, and I laughed."She actually did not know where I went. I only reached out to her after I had gotten to where I wanted to go. She was also at risk because King Jackson would not have hesitated to kill her." I explained, and he nodded his head."Why can't she come here, though?" He asked me, and I shook my head."She is still scared of him. She feels that if she leaves and he decides to look for her, she won't be able to survive it." I explained to him."Well, let me know whenever she is ready to leave. I am ready to have her

Dexter's POVShe was standing there looking a bit ruffled; her cheeks were pink, and the only thing I could wrap my head around was how much I had missed her. It was crazy to think that she was my mission here; the number one rule was never to get emotions mixed with work."Dexter?" She said, looking at me in shock. I guessed right; I was probably the last person that she had expected to see knock on her door."Hey," I said, now at a loss for words. Her eyes were perfect, and it was like I was staring right into her soul. The boss had not told me in detail how delicate her features were, nor did the hazy picture capture how beautiful she was."Hey? What are you doing here?" She demanded the shock had worn off, and in replacement was her face burning in rage. She didn't look too pleased with my showing up at her doorstep unannounced."I didn't see you at work yesterday, so I thought to come say hello today. Elera would not give me any personal details about you, so I followed your daug

Kai's POVTrisha was all I could think about on my way back to my palace. The reality that Katherine's location was no longer a mystery to me made me very joyous, and I could barely wait to get to be with her every day."My king, there's been word of a slave trader that has infiltrated our kingdom," Azra said."Is that all you know?" I asked him, too happy to let him affect my mood."Yes, my king. I have deployed men around the city, but no one has been reported to be suspicious." Azra responded."Andrew is having another episode of his. Have you gone to the clinic to see him?" I asked him, and Azra shook his head.Thinking about it now, I also had to go to the clinic. Elera was going to employ more workers, and I would ensure that she does that today. Katherine was looking too worn out from working so hard."I didn't know he had another episode." He answered. I knew that Azra was shy about having any personal conversations about his family with me."What happened to him? Andrew used

Katherine's POVKai led me into his room and kissed me as soon as we had some privacy. The kisses were warm, and he let them trail everywhere on my body, surprising me with where next he would kiss as I shivered in pleasure."How was your night?" he asked me and held my waist, pressing his so I could feel the effect of the kisses in his pants."It was great. Yours?" He asked me, grinding against me slowly. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the feeling, wondering what Trisha would think of me if she ever saw me like this."Beautiful. Did you dream of me?" Kai asked, and I laughed."Stop being such a baby," I said to him, slapping his shoulder playfully."I have something for you." He said and I wondered what he was playing at."What is that?" I asked him as he covered my eyes and led me to the front of the mirror. I felt something cold on my neck and opened my eyes to see that Kai was latching a diamond necklace on my neck."Kai, you didn't have to," I said and gasped when his hands fell of

Katherine’s POVThe sun hung low in the sky, casting a pale golden light over the training grounds. The last day of my training, and I still hadn’t seen Kai. It had been three days since I last heard from him, three long, agonizing days of silence. Each moment without a word from him gnawed at me, a dull ache that deepened with every passing hour. Where was he? Why hadn’t he come? Even Tricia has been asking of him nonstop, Roma had just been moved down to where we were and she has been the one taking care of Tricia on my behalf. I should’ve been focused on my training, but my thoughts constantly wandered back to Kai. The connection we shared, once so clear, felt distant now. I knew he had his reasons, and his responsibilities, but it didn’t make his absence any easier to bear. Every attempt to channel my inner light, my supposed gift as the Light Seeker, was met with resistance. The power inside me felt muddled, out of reach, like trying to catch water slipping through my fingers.

Kai's POVThe forest surrounding Alpha Jackson’s hideout was eerily quiet as if even the wind was holding its breath. I moved silently, the soft crunch of leaves beneath my boots the only sound. No guards, no patrols, nothing that suggested Jackson was even concerned about being found here. Bold. Or foolish. But Jackson had always been both. It was how we had become acquainted in the first place. I reached the clearing, and there it was: the old stone cottage that Azra had described, hidden deep within my kingdom’s borders. A fitting place for someone trying to hide in plain sight. I couldn’t help but smirk at the audacity of him, slipping into my kingdom without so much as a word of notice. But I wasn’t surprised. As I approached the entrance, the door swung open, and there he stood. Alpha Jackson. He looked the same, nothing had changed about him. “King Kai,” he greeted, his voice smooth and dripping with false humility. “What a pleasant surprise. I didn’t expect a visit from the

Kai's POVThings were beginning to calm down in the low towns, but, even, I could not let the worry go. I knew that the problem was not close to being over yet. I knew that much of the peace was because I had hidden Katherine away. Keeping her out of sight, away from those who might want to use her or, worse, destroy her. She was training privately with Claire, learning how to control her power as the Light Seeker, and it seemed to be working. But how long could I keep her hidden? How long before the world found out who she truly was?The thought weighed heavy on my chest as I made my way to the secluded house where Katherine was training. A part of me wanted to tell her everything, to be fully honest about the dangers swirling around us, but I knew I couldn’t. Not yet. She had enough on her plate without the burden of my fears. The air was crisp as I approached the safe house, the setting sun casting long shadows across the stone path. As I entered, I could feel the soft hum of Kat

"The light is already inside you, Katherine. You just need to let it out." Claire said as a light began to illuminate my chest and formed a circle, shining steadily with its rays shining in the room. My training with Claire had begun privately a few weeks ago. I have been putting my all into learning how to channel my light. I closed my eyes and willed my heart to beat slower as if to slow time. My purpose, My title is the Light Seeker. It had not been easy at first, but here I was doing it. Taking it one day at a time. I was beginning to feel the warmth as it spread through me. And the truth was that I had not felt so good about myself in years. Not until I discovered that.The room around me brightened, the shadows in the corners retreating as the light from within me spread across the space. I felt the same deep within me as everything started to gain clarity.Claire stepped back, a satisfied smile curling on her lips. “You’re getting the hang of it, Katherine. I knew you had it

Kai's POVThe cold steel of the balcony railing bit into my palms as I absorbed the latest news. My mind was a turbulent sea of thoughts and decisions. Every one of my instincts screamed that we were on the brink of something catastrophic. The shadow hunter attack was a stark message, and I could not afford to underestimate the threat.“Azra,” I call out, my voice cutting through the tension of the hospital morning. We had barely slept until we were sure that Roma was in stable condition. He turned to me, his expression taut with concern. “I need you to secure the citadel immediately. No one in or out until further notice.”Azra’s eyes widened slightly, but he nodded without hesitation. “I’ve already taken the liberty of informing the guards. What else do you need, my king?”I took a deep breath, my weak attempt to quell the rising sense of urgency. “We need to find the warlock. If he’s under the shadow hunters' control, he’s a crucial part of their plan. His location could lead us to

Kai's POVThe hospital balcony was usually not the place I would imagine that I was going to be tonight. The events of the last few weeks burdened my mind so heavily that I felt like there was no way out of it. But I could not afford to think like that. I wrapped my clothes tightly around myself as the cold wind blew, even at that, I could feel the heat emanating from my body. Katherine could have been seriously hurt and each day, this crazy person came close to the woman that I loved the most. The thought of what would have happened if anything had gone wrong at the prison was not something that I enjoyed thinking about so I closed my eyes and took in a deep breath to steady my head. Azra ran to the balcony, his face etched with tension. His usual calm demeanor was replaced with urgency, and it immediately set my nerves on edge. I turned to face him, keeping my face as neutral as possible. “What’s going on?” I asked; my voice was sharp and hard. “Why are you here?” I demanded. Hi

Roma's POVThe palace felt eerily silent, like the calm before a storm. My mind raced as I paced the room, glancing nervously at the door. Katherine was still at the hospital, and King Kai had asked us to return. I couldn’t shake the feeling of dread that clung to me like a second skin.Claire sat across from me, serene as ever, her fingers tracing patterns in the air. She always had this way about her, a kind of stillness that made it seem like nothing could ever shake her. But I was different. I wasn’t like Katherine or Claire, who were born with power, forged by destiny. It was just me. And right now, “me” felt helpless."Roma, relax." Claire’s voice broke through my anxious thoughts. She looked up from whatever spell or divination she was working on. "The safest place for us right now is here. In the palace."I frowned, biting my lip as I stared at her. "Are you sure? What if... what if the person hunting Katherine’s friends comes for us too?"Claire came to the window, where I sto

Katherine’s POVThe sterile white light overhead blurred as I blinked my eyes open. I struggled with the blinding lights in the room and I struggled to adjust my sight to it. I opened my eyes slowly and turned my head. Kai was seated with his elbows resting on his knees. His eyes were red and the exhaustion was quite visible. Considering the eyebags under his eyes, it looked like he hadn’t slept at all, and I could feel the weight of his worry pressing down on me, even in silence.I groaned in pain as I tried my best to sit up, but my muscles screamed in protest. Kai noticed instantly, springing to my side before I could adjust the pillow beneath me. His face softened with relief as he leaned down, his voice hoarse from what must’ve been a sleepless night.“my love, how are you feeling?" He asked me.I tried to respond, but the words wouldn’t come. I glanced to the side and saw Tricia, curled up on one of the clinic's chairs. She was asleep, snoring slightly as her chest moved up and

Kai's POVThe hospital hallway felt like it was closing in around me, each second stretched by the uncertainty of what lay behind those doors. I pushed through the waiting room, not caring that I'd been told to stay put. Katherine was in there, and that's all that mattered. "His royal Majesty, wait!" one of the nurses tried to stop me, but I brushed past her, the need to see Katherine overpowering everything.The doctor stepped in my way just as I reached her room. "Your Highness, you need to calm down," he said, his voice steady but strained. "She's stable, but you can't go in just yet. She fainted, and we're trying to""Trying to stabilize her? She fainted?" I repeated, my voice incredulous. "That's not enough. I need to see her." My pulse pounded in my ears. Katherine never fainted. She was strong—too strong for something like this.The doctor's eyes flickered with nervousness. "We're running tests, but it looks like she's just stressed. Shock, perhaps, but she's out of danger."I
