Rejected by My Mate, Fated to the Lycan King Chapter 345 Ultimatums and Undercurrents
SigneThe minute I walk into Häxa, I know Erik hasn’t been back here. The protective wards I laced into the doorway whisper of his absence.He also didn’t come home last night. His room hasn’t been disturbed, and there’s no trace of his footsteps in the dew-slick path outside. My son spent the night with her. A chill slides down my spine. Who knows what could happen if he gets her pregnant. Maybe that’s what she wants?I busy myself with inventory, pretending I’m not worried. Not suspicious. Not furious. But the roots I’m grinding into powder are reduced to dust far too quickly under my hands.The bell over the door chimes and I don’t have to look up to know who it is. I can feel him, the bond between us as mother and son tugging like a current. I lift my head and see Erik and Scarlett entering together, holding hands like it’s the most natural thing in the world. It’s anything but.Scarlett has the good grace to look nervous. Erik just looks determined. Scarlett murmurs a greeting. S

CereliaI find Soren in the small greenhouse behind our cottage, barefoot in the soil, sleeves rolled up, coaxing life from the delicate sprigs of moonwort and wolfsage. He doesn’t look up as I approach, but I feel him sense me.“Hilda and Arlo are going to Raventon,” I say softly. He glances up at me then, squinting against the early sun. “Let me guess. You’re going with them.”I nod. “Scarlett invited us. She’d like me to see if I can help figure out what or who these dark forces are. Erik knows everything now. About her magic and her lineage. I can’t just sit here if she needs me, I have to help her. I’d love to learn more about Volur magic and seidr from Erik and his mother as well.”He sets down the shears and wipes his hands on his pants. “Here’s my answer,” he says, crossing the greenhouse to me and curling a hand around the back of my neck. “You’re not going without me.”I blink at him. “Soren-” I start to protest. “I’m not stopping you,” he cuts in gently. “I’m telling you I’

HildaThe morning sun slices through the bedroom window like a golden blade, glinting across the polished wooden floors and warming the edge of our bed. I’m in a great mood after talking to Scarlett.I stretch, naked and smug, and roll onto Arlo's broad chest, trailing soft kisses along the line of his jaw. He groans, still mostly asleep, but his arm tightens around me and that very familiar hardness presses against my thigh."Mmm," I murmur, nibbling at the shell of his ear before sucking on the lobe. "I think you might be a father-in-law soon. Who knows, maybe even a grandfather. Grandpappy Arlo... has a certain ring to it, doesn’t it?"He snorts but doesn't open his eyes. "You're evil in the morning.""And yet you keep me around," I purr, sliding on top of him, rubbing my slick folds against his swollen shaft, just to tease. I love the way his body tenses beneath me, his breath catching as I press down a little harder.His eyes finally blink open, stormy and hungry. "What the hell

ScarlettThe early morning light is soft and golden as it spills through the curtains, warming the sheets tangled around Erik and me.His arm is heavy over my waist, our legs still knotted together. I trace lazy circles on his chest, my cheek pressed against the smooth skin just below his collarbone. His heartbeat is steady beneath my palm. I never want to move. I never want to lose this moment.Then there’s a gentle tug in the back of my mind, which interrupts my thoughts. Scarlett. It’s my mother.I groan softly at my own thoughtlessness and Erik stirs but doesn’t wake. Sorry, Mom. I meant to get back to you last night. We got to talking and it slipped my mind.It’s fine, my mother answers far too quickly. Suspiciously quickly. She must have been upset after our conversation and I know what my mom does when she gets upset. I have a strong feeling I’m not the only one who was otherwise occupied last night.Mother! Did you forget about my troubles? What did you get up to young lady?N

ScarlettThe moment Erik kisses me again, I feel it.All of it.The truth laid bare between us, the last of our secrets finally confessed, has done something to the air around us. It crackles. It thrums. Like lightning waiting to strike.My heart pounds. There are no masks left. No lies. No pretending.I pull back just enough to whisper, "I love you."His eyes widen, breath catching. I keep going before I lose my nerve. "I know it’s fast. I know we’ve only just started this. But I know my own heart, Erik. I’ve never been more sure of anything."He stares at me for a long moment, then cups my face in his hands, eyes burning into mine. "You’re not the only one who knows what they want. I love you too, Scarlett. Gods, I love you." And then there’s no more talking.The couch dips beneath us as I straddle him, kissing him like I’ll never get enough. His hands slip beneath my shirt, warm palms brushing over bare skin. When his thumbs sweep over my nipples, I gasp, arching into him. My finge

ErikScarlett sits next to me, her eyes still shimmering with the echo of a thousand different emotions. I can’t stop staring at her. Not just because she’s beautiful, although she is, heartbreakingly so, but because something’s shifted between us.Like the air’s changed weight. Like we’ve stepped from a world of pretending into something real. She knows everything now. She knows about the prophecy, and she’s still here."How much do you know about your magic?" I ask gently, not wanting to shatter this fragile, wonderful moment between us.She considers my questions carefully. "Not everything, but enough.""How long have you known?" I ask.She hesitates, then sighs. "I’ve known that I’m able to do magic since I was little. I have visions. Not very often, but when they come, they’re extremely vivid. I don’t always understand them, but they always come true and then it all makes sense.""Visions?" I sit forward, stunned. She offers a small, sheepish smile. "Yeah. Since I was really youn

ScarlettI don’t know what to do. Erik is standing in the doorway with flowers in hand and a hopeful smile on his face.All I want is to melt into his arms, drag him inside, and forget everything I heard. Forget the prophecy, forget the worry in my mother’s voice, forget that I’m terrified I might be exactly what everyone fears I am. But I can’t.Still, I step aside and let him in. "Thank you," I murmur, taking the flowers and bringing them to my nose. "They’re beautiful. And of course I missed you too."He follows me into the kitchen, his hands shoved in his pockets, eyes scanning my face. “Something’s wrong. Please talk to me, Scarlett.”I hesitate. The truth crowds my throat, trying to burst free. I can feel the weight of it in every breath I take. Erik deserves honesty from me. But what if he runs? What if he hears what I am and looks at me like I’m a monster?If I keep allowing things between us to grow more serious, without telling him the truth, I actually will be a monster. If

HildaCerelia doesn’t answer immediately. When she does, her voice echoes in my head through the mind-link, slow and full of disbelief.That’s... a hell of a prophecy, Hilda.I sit on the edge of the bed, running a hand over my face. Tell me something I don’t know. And after Scarlett heard Erik’s mother recite the prophecy, she heard him admit he’d kill her if he had to.Cerelia is silent for another long stretch before responding. The meaning seems fairly obvious. Cataclysm. Magic dying. One girl with the power to save or destroy us all. But I’ve never come across anything like it before, not in any scroll, journal, or book that I’ve read over the years.You’re sure? I ask, feeling the pit in my stomach yawn wider.I’ll look again, and I’ll reach out to a few other sources, she promises. But if this prophecy has been passed through Erik’s family line, it could be private oral lore. That would explain why we’ve never heard of it. That also means they have to be a significant magical f

ScarlettI have never wanted the ground to open up and swallow me quite so badly.Signe caught us. Caught me with my mouth on her son, tangled up in his arms like I couldn’t get close enough. And the look she gave me, sharp, assessing, laced with cold disapproval, might as well have been a slap.She didn’t yell. She didn’t even raise her voice. Just that flat command to keep our personal lives out of the business.It takes several minutes for the burn in my cheeks to fade. I focus on rearranging the crystal display up front even though it doesn’t need rearranging, my hands moving things just to have something to do.Embarrassment ebbs eventually, replaced by something else entirely. Curiosity.I trust Erik. I do. In fact, I love him. But Häxa isn’t just a mystical novelty store, no matter how they present it. There are real magical things here. Spell ingredients. Enchanted items. That room with the locked door I haven’t been able to get into.There’s something else going on, and I nee
