Rejected Mate: The Lycan King's claim 1
Katherine's POV The moon hung in the sky, cascading its illuminating lights on the white stone assembled along the walkway leading from the slave quarters to the Alpha's quarters. One stone smaller than the next, revealing a sign of superiority. With each step I took, I felt a heavy burden drop from my chest to my stomach. My heart beat against its cage, sending an influx of horror through my nerves. I felt as though something bitter was being forced down my throat but I couldn't throw up because my lips had been sealed shut. I grabbed the hem of my faded gown and fixed my gaze on the foot of the guard right in front of me, leading the way to the Alpha's quarters. I have a secret! My breath hitched as soon as he stopped walking and I knew we were exactly at the spot where I dreaded the most. I didn't need to look up to know where I was. It was the place I hated most but didn't have a choice to stay away from. I feel like a fool, an idiot for not fighting each time I'm called on. F

Katherine's POVAfter I accepted his rejection, I was thrown into a dark dungeon for many nights. I experience excruciating pain. I went through hell. It was as though my soul had been gifted to hell and all I experienced was pain and agony. My heart felt so constricted the first night I didn't know I could survive. As I opened my eyes the next morning, I saw a little plate of water and a piece of bread. I couldn't eat. I was too scared of the possibility of being poisoned than to stomach anything. The pain continued the next day, I couldn't feel my wolf, I threw up when my body couldn't hold the pain anymore and ended up passing out most times only to wake to the bright morning of another day. The fifth night came and I was released from the dungeon by a guard who led the way to the Alpha's quarters. I didn't quite understand what was happening. I thought he was accepting me back but when he laid me on my back, took my virginity in a brutal way and sent me out of his room, naked,

Katherine's POVI looked back and forth between both Alpha Jackson and the Lycan King. Not only was I in disbelief of who I just met but also of what I felt for the Lycan King when our fingers brushed. Lowering my gaze slightly, I moved away from the door to allow Alpha Jackson to walk in. I could feel his hot gaze on my face as he did and as soon as he walked down the stairs leading into the wine cellar, I walked out and closed the door behind me. It was punishable by death to wait behind and eavesdrop on their conversation unless called upon. With as little as five wine bottles in my basket, I returned to the feast. The chef gave me a hard glare as I placed all five bottles on the table. "That's all you could bring, you useless wimp," he said through gritted teeth. "I'm sorry," I bowed, apologising. He was the chef, which means he had the authority to kill me or punish me for my foolishness. He was also Jackson's favourite. That gave him the leverage to act in his capacity in t

Katherine's POVTill Kai, the Lycan King left the hall, the silence could be heard. A pin dropping to the floor would be the loudest and deafening sound in the room. Kai held my gaze till he walked out. When I turned my head to Jackson, he had a murderous look on his face. Roma turned to me in panic and that made me stare up at the chef. I had never seen him that scared. He usually had a high shoulder and confidence when moving around the pack house but at that moment, he looked crumbled and defeated. "Let's leave," Roma asked. I nodded and quickly followed the others out of the hall through the back door. Soon, we heard a loud growl from the room. The sounds of plate, tables being thrown against the wall could be heard. It was scary but the scariest thing was the smile that was on the faces of every servant and slave standing in the backyard. Most of them were satisfied about what happened but to me, I was more worried about the outcome. We definitely will be at the receiving end

Katherine's POV The walk from where I saw Roma to the Alpha's quarters was dreadful. Each step I took scared me. I felt as though I was walking into a trap of death. I could turn back and run but that wasn't an option. "You don't have to go if you don't want to, Katherine," Roma suggested.I turned to her. "I can't run," "Why?" She asked with a single eyebrow lifted. "Because it's not even an option," She cursed underneath her breath and held my palm. "Remember the last time he was this angry,"Tears threatened to leak out of my eyes as I nodded, bringing back the horrible memory. He tied me up in his room, beat me repeatedly and did unspeakable things to me. When he finally released me, I couldn't get out of bed for days. I was brutally treated like an animal. "Don't go, please. He already promised to kill five of us if the chef's head ended up on the pyre tomorrow. I'm scared for your life," I nodded. I am scared for my life too. But I don't have a choice. I have nobody. I'm

King Kai’s POVI sat at my desk, surrounded by stacks of documents and maps, my mind focused on the kingdom's trade and commerce. The knock on the door broke my concentration, and I looked up, slightly annoyed. "Enter," I called out, not looking up from the documents.The door creaked open, and a guard stepped inside, his eyes fixated on me. "Your Majesty, I bring a message from Alpha Jackson Connelly’s pack." He approached me, holding out a letter, his hand trembling slightly.I raised an eyebrow, intrigued. What could Alpha Jackson Connelly want with me? We had never been allies, though we have never gotten into war to cause enmity within us. "Let me see it," I said, taking the letter from the guard.As I read the invitation to Alpha Jackson Connelly’s party, I scoffed. A party? What a waste of time. I had more pressing matters to attend to, like ensuring the kingdom's prosperity and security. But then, a thought struck me. Rumours had been circulating about the rapid growth of slav

King Kai’s POVI was busy trading punches with Alpha Jackson but my attention was directed towards Katherine. I saw Roma trying futilely to bring her to her feet and knew I had to end the fight quickly. I tightened my fist and sent a punch into Jackson’s face, he got disbalanced and I followed up with an uppercut. A clean hit to his lower jaw sent him crashing to the ground, leaving me with enough time to tend to Katherine. I rushed towards her, my heart raced with a mix of urgency and concern. held her in my hands and saw she was slipping into unconsciousness.“Stay the fuck with me, Katherine,” I murmured. She didn’t; she took my plea for her to stay awake as a cue to plunge into unconsciousness. “Fuck!” I yelled. I scooped her up and hurried out of the room.“Hang in there Katherine, I’ve got you,” I whispered, trying to comfort her, or trying to comfort myself because my head was going into a spiral.I got her into the backseats of my vehicle and sped off to the pack’s clinic.

Alpha Jackson's POVThe party I threw was meant to please Kai, the Lycan King, but I could see past the pretence that he was not entertained. He was definitely into something else, someone else; he was into Katherine, or so I thought. I watched and followed the direction of his eyes, and they led to Katherine most of the time. I thought of the time I caught up with him in the wine cellar and concluded he must have had an encounter with her."This is interesting," I thought. "If the party would not please him, perhaps she would".I stood up to give a closing speech and offered to grant one demand in honour of the Lycan King. It was a simple plan to make him pick Katherine since he had been looking her way all night, but the demand I was dealt with almost knocked me off my seat."That bitch must have something to do with this," I thought, though not entirely sure, but it was the only reason I could work with.I summoned Katherine after the party was over and dealt with her like a viciou

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
