“I will bring your rejected mate with me after the banquet,” Julian announced later after he, his Beta, and Devon retreated into a conference room.

Devon frowned, but only for a second before he cleared his expression. “I’m sorry, Your Majesty, I don’t understand.”

Why would the Lycan King want to bring a worthless Omega with him? He was sure there were enough slaves at the palace. Besides, Julian had looked thoroughly disgusted earlier while observing Lyra. Why would he want her anywhere near him?

“It’s not your business to understand the king’s mind,” Julian’s Beta Asher groused.

Devon was aware that infuriating the king would do him no good. But he could not let Lyra go with him. What if she revealed Devon’s abuse to the king towards her? His entire plan would go to waste, and he would suffer the king’s wrath.

“I apologise,” he said. “I’m only worried that she is not worthy to accompany Your Majesty. A whore like her would only tarnish the king’s reputation if seen anywhere around him. I have a few slaves who would be more suitable for the palace that Your Majesty can choose from. Besides, there’s a terrifying curse surrounding her. I believe the farther she is from the king, the better.”

Julian said nothing, his stoic gaze drilling a hole into the opposite wall. Asher, who had noticed the king’s reaction in Lyra’s room earlier, faced Devon again. “And yet you kept her around you.”

“I would not dare disobey the king’s law,” Devon said. “She was my Goddess-given mate. No matter what curse afflicts her, she was meant to be by my side.”

Asher’s mouth twitched, but he said nothing for the moment. This Alpha was happy to get rid of his Omega mate. Asher doubted he had liked having her around so much. Was he really worried about the king's safety around the cursed she-wolf, or did he just not want his rejected mate to leave? Why?

Whatever, it did not matter. Asher had recognised Julian’s desire for Lyra in that room, so he knew the king was not simply looking for another slave to bring to the palace.

He took a step towards Devon, his eyes stern. “And you think the Lycan King himself cannot handle a little cursed Omega she-wolf?”

Devon’s throat moved as he swallowed, then an uneasy smile flitted across his lips. “Of course not. I did not mean that.”

“The king is taking the she-wolf,” Asher said resolutely. “Put her in the king’s quarters and get her ready to leave.”

“I’ll arrange it right away,” Devon said, backing down.

Later, Devon entered the king’s bedroom, where Lyra was staying. Try as he might, he could not understand what the king’s fixation with her was.

When Lyra saw him, her eyes hardened with hate. It was too bad that the king was unusually interested in her. Devon had planned on punishing her properly for her ‘betrayal’. It would have been a good opportunity to teach other Omegas a lesson.

“What are you doing here?” Lyra demanded, wrapping her arms around her upper body.

It appeared that she still did not know her place. She must think she was under the king’s protection and could talk back to Devon however she wanted. Devon’s hand itched to slap her face, but he held himself back. He remembered how the king had shoved Devon’s Beta, Rick, aside when he attempted to strike Lyra. Why on earth was the Lycan King protecting her when he was clearly disgusted by her behaviour?

He stepped up to Lyra, looking down at her. She did not flinch, as if showing him that she was no longer afraid of him. “You’d better keep your mouth shut,” he threatened. “The king will not believe anything that comes out of your filthy mouth.”

Lyra’s jaw clenched. Devon was probably right, but he clearly was afraid that the Lycan King would find out the truth about what had happened. The consequences for deceiving the Lycan King were far much more dire than rejecting her without permission could have been.

“We’ll see about that,” she told him.

Devon’s eyes narrowed. “Don’t think that I can’t do anything now that you are leaving. Do not forget that I still have your parents’ belongings. If you want them back, you’ll shut your mouth.”

Lyra swallowed as an uneasy feeling washed through her. Her memories took her back to the past, after her pack’s tragedy. She had met an elderly mother wolf who had given her a box, claiming that it was from her parents.

Her parents wished for her to open the box on her twentieth birthday, which was only three months away. If the box was damaged, it would bring great disaster to the pack. Since Lyra came to the Red Moon Pack, Devon had taken custody of the box. She could not risk losing it and disobeying her parents’ warning.

"I won't say anything," she told Devon. Devin left, satisfied. Just as Lyra was about to lie down and rest, the door opened again.

The Lycan King strode in, carrying his powerful presence.

"Mate, mine," Ardan growled, eyeing her body hungrily.

Lyra felt a tremor in her core, she didn't know why. She took a deep breath, struggling to steady herself.

The Moon Goddess had been too kind to her. Her first mate was a powerful alpha wolf, and now, after enduring hellish rejection, her second mate was the even mightier Lycan King.

But what would he ultimately do to her? Lyra could no longer bear Ardan's intense gaze and spoke up, "King, do you intend to accept me?"

    "Strip off all your clothes, slave," Ardan commanded Lyra.Lyra was stunned, but she had to obey. No one dared defy the King's orders. Until she removed her last undergarment, Ardan approached her. His large hands started trailing down her collarbone, stopping at her nipples. He pinched and twisted them with his fingers.Lyra's body began to tremble uncontrollably."Mmm..." A moan escaped Lyra's lips. "Please, don't do this, my King...""Don't you like this, my slave?" Ardan paused, sneering coldly."This is all a misunderstanding," Lyra tried to explain."Enough!" Ardan roared. "I won't believe the excuses of a shameless whore who dared betray her mate!"Tears streamed down Lyra's face. The Moon Goddess gave her the best, but also the worst fate."Reject me, my King," Lyra demanded stubbornly."No, I won't," Ardan flung her to the ground. In the cruelest tone, he said, "You will endure far worse treatment than this, my slave."After Ardan left, his beta Arthur came in and took her to

    Lyra was so shocked at the sight of the Lycan King with his head between her legs that for a moment, she did nothing. It all seemed like a dream–a deeply disturbing one. Earlier, the king had been too disgusted to look at her, let alone touch her. What did he mean by this?Her body jolted as Julian used his tongue to lick her entrance, the tip diving a little inside her. Supporting herself on one hand, she used the other to push his shoulder. “Stop!”Her voice sounded weak and faraway, as if it didn’t belong to her. Instead of stopping, Julian bit the skin on the inside of her thigh. Lyra felt herself go dizzy as the scent she had sensed earlier after Devon rejected her filled her nostrils.Her body recognised it, her wolf recognised it, and she did too, and as she quickly found out, it rendered her powerless. A mate’s scent was like a powerful drug, and she was getting intoxicated fast.“Get on your back,” Julian commanded, his warm breath brushing against her exposed pussy.Lyra’s c

    When Lyra woke up the next morning, she found herself staring at a strange female’s face. The face was pinched, regarding Lyra with unquestionable disdain.“You must think you are on a vacation to still be sleeping at this hour,” the female said, her lips twisting in scorn.Lyra blinked and sat up, her brain quickly catching her up on what was going on. She was at the palace. The events of the previous night streaked through her brain. Just as quick, she shut them out.“What’s the time?” she asked, looking at the female servant standing over her.The servant scoffed, then threw something at Lyra. It was a maid’s uniform. “Time to get your lazy ass out of bed and get working, princess.”The servant was Thea, a servant who had worked at the palace for many years. She had taken care of Julian since childhood, and carried herself with a sense of self-importance.“Sorry, I did not know about the schedule,” Lyra said. The last thing she wanted was to make enemies here. Even if nothing else

    Julian was vaguely aware of his Gamma, Kyle, rambling on and on about the latest financial report of the royal pack. But his mind was elsewhere, lingering on what happened the previous night with Lyra.He could remember her scent, how she tasted…and it was causing a stir in his loins. It had been so many hours since then, but he could swear he could still taste her on his tongue.Why on earth was he still thinking about it? She was nothing special. He had had his share of sweet, great pussy before. Better than that of a whoring Omega…“Wonder if that’s because she is your mate,” his wolf Yuri said sarcastically. “Just be true to yourself, you want to devour her.”Julian ground his teeth together and said nothing. It did not matter whether she was his mate or not. Fine. He could not deny that the experience last night had been out of this world. In fact, it had been perfect.When he first met her, he had thought he would not soil his hands by touching a dirty whore like her. She was be

    That night, Lyra lay awake in bed, unable to go to sleep. Julian’s words rang in her ears, filling her with apprehension.You need to be disciplined. And I’ll do it personally.A shiver ran down her spine the same way it did when she heard those words. They had sounded so dangerous, so sinister…and the worst part was that she had no idea what was in store for her. Would he hit her the way Devon would? Starve her? Lock her up for weeks?Her mind was tired from thinking all day, trying to figure out his mindset. He had asked for her opinion, done as she said, and then accused her of forgetting her position. Was he toying with her? Indeed, why would the Lycan King ask a slave’s opinion? Or was he just looking for an excuse to antagonise her?She had reprimanded Gloria in the heat of the moment, forgetting the consequences that could come from such an action. She should not have done something like that. But something had irked Lyra so much with the way they were all over each other, and

    “I think he is different,” Rae said after Lyra had gotten back into bed.Lyra frowned into the dark, wondering if they were thinking about the same person. How exactly was he different? “If by different you mean that he is worse than Devon, then, yes.”Rae was silent for a minute. Finally, she said, “I don’t think he is as bad as Devon.”“Because he hasn’t forced me to watch him with another female yet?” Lyra said bitterly. “I’m sure that day will come soon.”Or maybe he would force her to do something way worse.Should I bring another male who is not your mate?“I just…” Rae began, then trailed off.“What?” Lyra asked.“He hates you because he thinks you have rotten behaviour,” Rae said. “If you could show him the truth–”“And how am I going to do that?” Lyra asked, feeling a little annoyed. “He thinks everything that comes out of my mouth is a lie. Plus I think he wants it that way. He does not want an Omega queen, so he’ll take any excuse to shun me.”“He could just get rid of you,

    The Alpha turned his attention towards the three Omegas, who had shifted back into their human forms. They stood with their heads bowed and their hands clasped in front of them, submissive.“Alpha Zero,” they murmured in unison when he got to his feet and approached them.Zero was the Lycan King’s cousin and the Alpha of the Azure Pack. He was known all over the kingdom for his good looks and gentle disposition despite being one of the strongest Alphas in the kingdom.“What’s going on here?” he asked, his voice steely as he regarded the three shewolves. They were forbidden from shifting or fighting in the royal palace without permission, and yet they had done both.“She started it,” Claire replied. “She is new here and refused our advice on work, then she attacked me with a dagger. The others jumped in to save me.”“I did not start it,” Lyra claimed through her clenched teeth. This Alpha had shown concern when he helped her get up earlier. Would he care about the truth or believe the

    As Julian got ready in the training room, he could barely keep his anger in check. He could not even tell why he was so mad at seeing Lyra pressed up close to Zero. It was not like he did not already know the kind of female she was!He knew his cousin was fond of taking care of weaker werewolves, so Zero would of course offer to help her. But he also knew that unless Zero had an interest in Lyra, he would not have let her into his suite.He must be attracted to her. After all, Lyra was so good at pulling off the innocent victim look. Someone with Zero’s personality would definitely fall for it.“Let’s do this,” he said to Zero, bouncing on his feet and getting his hands into a fighting stance.Zero was thrilled that Julian had asked him for one-on-one combat. There were lots of fighting skills he could still learn from the Lycan King. Plus, he wanted to see how well he could hold up against the most powerful male in the kingdom. There was no better challenger.“Bring it on,” Zero said

    “Why aren’t you back yet?” Julian’s worried voice came across the phone when Lyra received his call.“I’m on my way,” Lyra told him. “I’ll be back soon.”“If you run into any problem, tell me,” he told her. “I know how Alpha Lucian can be. If he is giving you a hard time, I’ll teach him a lesson.”“Don’t worry, I can handle Lucian by myself,” she told him. “I’ve settled everything and I’ll be at the palace soon.”“Okay, I’m waiting for you,” he told her.Lyra hung up with a smile. Earlier, she had left on a trip to the Luminous Pack for the grand opening of a werewolf academy that would welcome students from all over the kingdom.Julian had been worried that Alpha Lucian would give her a hard time and wanted to go with her, but he had other official duties to attend to. Even though no werewolf in the kingdom could stand up to her, his first instinct was to protect her, whether from mortal danger or rude Alphas.“He really has no idea, does he?” Anna asked.Lyra shook her head. “Nope.”

    Many days later, Lyra woke up in the palace. Julian was lying next to her, sleeping peacefully. She smiled as she looked at him, a warm feeling blooming in her chest. She fought the urge to touch his face, afraid to wake him.However, when she turned to leave the bed, his arm shot out and hooked around her waist. “Don’t go,” he murmured sleepily.Lyra’s smile widened in amusement as she looked back at him. “You are awake?”He shook his head, his eyes still closed. “No.”She laughed and tapped his hand. “Get up, Your Majesty,” she teased. “We have a kingdom to run.”He tightened his hold around her, pulling her to him. “They can survive a few hours without us. It’s not like an evil witch is going to fly in and blast us all to hell.”“Haha,” Lyra laughed dryly. “I’m glad you can joke about that.”Julian opened his eyes and smiled. “Me too.”They both burst laughing, with Lyra falling back to his side. Julian reached for her face and kissed her. Lyra kissed him back, getting lost in the

    Deciding to attack together, Julian and Lyra ran towards the altar. While they were midway, Valeria waved her hand, sending a wave of energy their way.They braced themselves, but it turned out to be nothing like the attacks they had faced from the other witches. The energy was so forceful that it knocked them off their feet and sent them flying backwards before they crashed into the floor.As they collected themselves from the floor, Valeria’s laugh filled the room. “Did you think you could come here and do whatever you wanted? Prepare for your death!”Just when they had gotten back on their feet, she hit them with another blast of energy. This time, they both crashed into the wall before falling to the ground.“How is she so strong?” Lyra asked Julian through their mindlink. It was impressive that she could knock both of them around like that at the same time.“She is too powerful,” Julian replied. “We can’t let her wear us out. I’ll go all in, and when she is distracted with me, yo

    Following Julian’s scent, Lyra found the basement a few minutes later. It was a dank round room solely illuminated by candles.As soon as Lyra walked into the room, she was welcomed by the sound of clapping. Looking up, she saw Valeria standing on a raised altar in the middle of the room. She was the one clapping, a huge smirk on her lips.“We are all here,” Valeria said. “Perfect.”After having her plans thwarted so many times, Valeria had been scrambling to find a way to get rid of the Lycan King and the Luna Queen.She had not expected that the Rogue King would be such a useless ally. Even after she had helped him steal the Lycan King’s identity and made him powerful talismans, he had failed.As if that wasn’t bad enough, all her latest experiments failed. After finding out that the Lycan Kingdom had made significant steps in finding a weapon that could easily eliminate corrupted wolves, she had tried to make them stronger.She had succeeded in making stronger, faster, and more res

    Using the tip of her dagger, Lyra pricked her fingertip. When blood pooled at the tip, she pressed it to the barrier. During her research while making the serums, Beryl had read somewhere that the Wolf Mother’s blood could be used to break magical barriers.It turned out to be true as the barrier between them and the beasts dissipated the moment Lyra touched it with her blood. As soon as the barrier was down, the beasts rushed towards them.There were all sorts of beasts, from winged creatures that were as big as horses and serpents with multiple heads. Among the beasts were also corrupted wolves.The division of the troop that had been assigned archery roles released a multitude of arrows, raining them down on the beasts. The arrows were created with special magical metal tips doused in poison, allowing them to deal critical damage to magical creatures with a single hit.The second division of the troop shifted into their wolf forms and met the beasts head on. When it was no longer p

    The southern jungle covered hundreds of thousands of hectares, providing a good hiding place for rogues. However, even rogues did not venture into the deepest parts of the forest, since they were considered too dangerous.The forest was rumoured to not only be the witches’ hideout, but to also contain all sorts of magical beasts. While some of the southern packs had led expeditions into the jungle while dealing with rogues, they did not have enough information that could be used to accurately map out the witch’s lair.After hours of walking in the jungle, Lyra finally sensed magical power. Leading the way, she guided the troops deeper into the forest. The farther they got, the more ominous it became. The magical power also got stronger, and everybody could feel it.After close to an hour, they spied a castle through the trees. It was big and old, its walls almost entirely covered by vines.“This is it,” Lyra informed everybody through mindlink. “I’ve felt Valeria’s energy before, and

    As soon as Julian and Lyra got back to the palace, Beryl and Spencer took the flower and started making the antidote.They had been gone less than an hour, but Zero’s condition had worsened. Even with Beryl and Spencer’s help, he would not have been able to hold on much longer without the antidote.As for Anna, she was still unconscious, but there were no signs that she was in danger. There also hadn’t been any other incidents in the palace.When Beryl administered the antidote to Zero, his condition started improving right away. As soon as he woke up, he looked around for Anna. When he did not see her, fear washed over him. Before losing consciousness, he had heard people calling for her execution.“Where is Anna?” he asked Beryl, getting down from the hospital bed. “Is she okay? It was not her fault. She is not working for the witches.”“We know,” Beryl told him. “The witch possessed her and made her do it. She is fine now, but she passed out and is in recovery. Don’t worry, she is

    The snake had appeared out of nowhere and wrapped itself around Lyra so fast that Julian did not get a chance to warn her. It was long and thick, and its body was coiled around Lyra’s upper body and neck, its head poised to strike.Julian’s heart froze in fear as the gravity of the situation registered. Both of them could not use their magic or werewolf abilities. From the size and appearance of the snake, he could tell it was not a normal one. It must be a magical beast.Magical beasts normally had their own territories and attacked anyone who trespassed. However, Julian had never heard that the Deadly Swamp was territory to any magical beast.The snake had only appeared after Lyra plucked out the flower, so it was more likely that the beast was guarding the flower, not the swamp.“Throw away the flower,” he yelled at Lyra. “It’s guarding the flower. As long as you have it, it won’t let you go.”Lyra did not want to let go of the flower, but she was aware that she could not afford to

    After leaving the infirmary, Julian and Lyra instructed staff around the palace to ensure all the guests were catered to, leaving Asher in supervision.They also ensured that security was beefed up around the palace and the capital city in case the witches attempted another attack.Lyra was worried that it might be too late by the time they got to the swamp, found the flower, and brought it back to Beryl and Spencer to make the antidote. The two healers could keep Zero alive with their healing powers, but the poison was powerful and would kill him if not stopped soon.“We are taking the jet, right?” Lyra asked Julian as they got ready in the weapon room, grabbing basic items that would come in handy in the swamp.“No,” Julian said.“If we drive, we’ll never get back in time,” she said.“We are not driving,” he told her. “Come, I’ll show you something.”Moving to one end of the room, he pressed his palm to a panel on the wall next to a door labelled ‘Restricted Access’.
