Stealing the Heart of the Lycan King   Toxic Addiction
BRADLEYWhenever Hana called for an urgent talk, it was always one of two things. Either it was about the packâs security, or it was something personal about us.And judging by how cold she had been acting at the ball tonight, I knew it was personal.She didnât say a word as we walked into the hallway. Then, she stopped, turned around, and crossed her arms over her chest, her sharp gaze locking onto mine.I sighed, already exhausted. âWhat is it now?ââIf youâre not in the mood to talk, you donât have to.â Her tone was clipped, but the way she narrowed her eyes told me she was challenging me.I clenched my jaw. Really? She had practically dragged me out here when I told her I needed to help the Lycan King, and now she was acting like she didnât want to talk?I ran a hand down my face, trying to keep my patience. âIâm here, Hana. Say what you need to say.âShe hesitated for a moment, then spoke. âThe girl I saw you talking to on the balcony at the ballâĶ Who was she?âHer question ca

KAIDEN As my eyes slowly peeled open as I woke up, my arm instinctively reached for the other side of the bed, as if expecting to find someone there. As if someone should be there. But the space beside me was empty. Still, it felt warm and a strange feeling lingered, like someone had been there just moments ago. Like my body wasnât wrong to expect their presence. Maybe it was because of the dream I had where I was holding Calantha close all night, feeling her warmth against me, and feeling my hardness rub against her soft ass and thighs. It was a strange dream that was almost too real. A sudden knock at the door pulled me from my thoughts, followed by Bradleyâs voice. âMay I come in, my king?â I groaned sleepily, finally forcing myself to sit up as I rubbed the sleep from my eyes. A sharp throbbing pain shot through my head, making me wince. I brought my fingers to my temples, trying to ease it. A hangover. That explained why I had blacked out last night. âCome in.â I muttered

[ Calantha] I exhaled deeply and adjusted my cheap dress for what felt like the hundredth time. My nerves were getting the best of me and making my hands fidgety as I stepped inside the mansion. The place was buzzing with the sound of laughter, loud music, and the heavy scent of alcohol and cigarettes hung in the air. At every corner of the mansion were young adults shamelessly making out. Some were half dressed and some were worse. I swallowed hard, forcing myself to focus as my eyes searched around the room carefully, mentally aware that I had limited time to be here. Mrs. Grant, my owner, had sent me on an errand and I had taken advantage of the opportunity to trace and find him. Ryker. The guy I had dated for three years but never met in person. And then, all of a sudden, he went ghost on me for the past two weeks. At first, I had been worried and feared that something bad had happened to him. But now that I was standing in this chaotic scene, surrounded by wild party vibe

[ Calantha ]THE NEXT DAY "Calantha! Where the hell is that useless slave?!" Mrs. Grantâs sharp voice rang out from outside, her impatient footsteps echoing closer. In the kitchen, I was scrambling to finish washing the dishes while keeping an eye on the food simmering on the stove. My heart raced as I shouted back. âIâm almost done!â I tried to move faster but in my rush, my hand bumped against an expensive ceramic plate. My stomach dropped as I watched it slip off the counter. Instinctively, I focused my mind, and just before it could shatter on the ground, the plate froze midair. Relief washed over me as I carefully picked it up and placed it back on the counter. I quickly returned to my work, pretending nothing had happened. My powers were my deepest secret and to be honest, I didnât know how it got it either. From a young age, I discovered I could move things with my mind, heal injured animals, and even bring dying plants back to life. But my adoptive parents had warn

[ Calantha ]âYou evil wrench!â Isadoraâs hand slapped across my cheek, the sting sending me staggering into the kitchen table. Behind her, Mr. and Mrs. Grant stood, their furious eyes as sharp as hers.âYou think you can steal the Lycan King from me? You? A worthless, stinking servant?!â She screamed, grabbing a fistful of my hair and yanking hard. Pain shot through my scalp, and tears burned in my eyes as I cried out.âPlease, let me go! It wasnât my fault!â I sobbed, trying to pry her hands away, but her grip was unrelenting. âNot your fault?â She screeched, leaning in closer. âThen whose fault is it? Huh? Tell me!â Her fingers tugged harder, and for a moment, I thought she might actually rip my hair out. âMate? Mate?! No one else can be his mate but me! Never!âThen, she shoved me hard and I fell to the floor near her parentsâ feet. As I struggled to get up, Mrs. Grant stepped on my hand with her sharp heel, pressing down so hard it felt like she was crushing my bones.âYou neve

[ Calantha ]âGo get the head priestess. Tell her weâre here.âKaiden ordered his guards and they immediately obeyed, disappearing into the head priestessâs house. I stood beside him, my heart pounding as I scanned my eerie surroundings. The air smelled of damp earth and something faintly herbal.A minute later, the guard returned, followed closely by an elderly woman with white long hair, and an air of mystery around her. She was the head priestess. I had only seen her only once or twice at the full moon festival.As soon as she reached us, she bowed deeply before Kaiden.âMy King.ââTara,â Kaiden acknowledged.Taraâs eyes flickered to me for a brief moment before returning to Kaiden. There seemed to be some kind of understanding in her eyes and it made me realize that she was in this plan too.âLetâs begin the mating ritual.â Kaiden said and without any hesitation, Tara turned and led us inside. The small wooden house had a cozy but peculiar atmosphere. Dried herbs hung from the c

[ Kaiden ]As expected, my mother was waiting for me the moment I stepped into the packhouse.Queen Adeline stood in the foyer, pacing back and forth, visibly annoyed and irritated. Despite the anger radiating off her, she looked as composed and regal as always.The second her gaze landed on me, it flickered toward Calantha with nothing but hatred and disgust. The poor girl tensed beside me, visibly shrinking under my motherâs glare.Still, she bowed. âG-Good day, My Queen.âMy mother didnât acknowledge her greeting. Instead, she shifted her burning gaze to me and stormed forward.âGetting mated to a slave girl behind my back? What the hell were you thinking?!âI didnât reply right away. Instead, I turned toward the head maid standing behind her.âTake the Luna to the room prepared for her.âThe head maid obeyed immediately, leading Calantha upstairs. I waited until they disappeared before shifting my attention back to my mother.âA slave girl? Really?!â she snapped, disbelief in her

[ Calantha ]"That's her?""Oh my god, she's not even pretty. What does the Lycan King see in her?""Do you think he was charmed?""This is such a slap to Isadora's face."The whispers flooded into my ears as I walked through the grand hallway of Redwood Elite Academy. I could feel the weight of a hundred eyes piercing through me, judging, mocking and dissecting my very existence.At that moment, I regretted not walking in with Kaiden. Letting him go ahead while I followed later had been a mistake. A big one.At first, I had been excited by the idea of a new school, new beginnings. But that feeling had faded the second I stepped through the academy doors and realized I was the day's spectacle.I kept my head down as I walked, my fingers gripping the strap of my backpack so tightly that my knuckles ached. I wished, desperately, for the ground to split open and swallow me whole.I felt like an imposter. I donât belong here.And as if the universe had heard my silent misery and decided

Stealing the Heart of the Lycan King   An Excruciating Night
CALANTHAJust as I had expected, by the time the ball was over, Kaiden was completely wasted. He had told Bradley not to bother him tonight, which meant I was the one stuck with the impossible task of getting him out of the hall. With one of his heavy arms slung over my shoulder, I struggled to steady him as we made our way out of the hall. He was so heavy that I kept stumbling under his weight, muttering curses under my breath. I wished Bradley or even my friends were here to help me.But they werenât.Eloise and Nyx had left earlier after we settled things with the maidâ aka Rykerâs little spy. Honestly, I wasnât even that surprised when she admitted he was the one behind it all. Ryker was insane and capable of the most ridiculous, childish things.To make sure Kaiden knew the real truth about what had happened, I had asked Nyx to record the maidâs confession on my phone. When I showed it to him later, he would finally see that I wasnât careless with the necklace and that it had be

RYKERMOMENTS LATER: AT RYKERâS RESIDENCE I clenched my jaw as I keyed in the password and shoved the door open, my eyes immediately scanning the room for Cross. When I spotted him by the wine cellar, casually pouring himself a drink, my blood boiled even more. I stormed toward him.Before he knew what was happening, I snatched the bottle from his hand and slammed it onto the counter, shooting him a murderous glare. But Cross looked completely unfazed. If anything, there was amusement in his eyes as he took a slow sip from his glass, never breaking eye contact.That smug expression only fueled my anger. Unsatisfied, I grabbed the glass from him and smashed it onto the floor, red wine splattering across the tiles. Cross still didnât flinch. He just kept watching me like I was some kind of comedy show.âYou sick bastard! What the hell was that stunt at the ball?!â I snapped, my voice rough with rage.Cross simply raised an eyebrow, arms crossing over his chest. âWhat stunt?âHis indi
Stealing the Heart of the Lycan King   Sabotage
CALANTHAâOh my God, El! Where have you been? Weâve been looking everywhere for you!â Nyx rushed toward Eloise the second we spotted her back at the party.The ball was back in full swing, and Kaiden had already ordered Cross to leave, but the uneasy feeling from earlier still clung to me. No matter how much I tried to shake it off, it wouldnât go away.As for Kaiden, he was beyond pissed. I could see him at the bar, drowning himself in drink after drink, his back turned to us as he threw back another shot. At this rate, he would be completely wasted by the time the night was over.âWhy? Did something happen?â Eloise asked, concern flashing across her face as she looked between Nyx and me, waiting for an answer.I couldnât even bring myself to speak. Instead, my gaze drifted back to Kaiden, watching as he gripped his glass tightly. This was all my fault, and the guilt was eating me alive.âYou bet something happened.â Nyx finally broke the silence, lowering her voice like she was afra

ELOISE I took a deep breath and took another sip straight from the wine bottle in my hand. Standing by the balcony, I stared into space. I had come with Nyx, but that traitor had ditched me the second Jameson asked her for a dance. I was happy for her, I really was. But I wouldnât lie, I felt alone. It reminded me of my fatherâs words, ones he had repeated far too often: âEloise, if you donât find someone to like or a potential mate soon, itâll be hard for you to secure a reputable match later on. And if that happens, Iâll have no choice but to send you to your motherâs in Elvira!â I flinched at the thought. Elvira was one of the poorest packs in the realm, my motherâs homeland and the place my mother had returned to after the divorce. She couldnât stay here because of her heartbreak after the divorce. Maybe that was why I had never fallen for anyone before. Not even a simple crush. Maybe I was afraid of ending up like her; alone, abandoned, and carrying the weight of a broken b
Stealing the Heart of the Lycan King   Lunar Masked Ball
CALANTHAMoments later, Kaiden and I arrived at the ball, where two grand thrones awaited us at the center of the hall. As he held my hand and guided me toward my seat, my breath caught in my throat. This was the first time a throne had been prepared for me, and the sight of it sent a jolt of reality through me. I was no longer just an outsider trying to fit in. I was stepping fully into my role as Luna. As Queen.The moment we sat down, the crowd began to form a line, each person waiting their turn to bow before Kaiden. And before me.The hall was breathtaking, glittering under the golden chandeliers. Every guest was dressed in extravagant gowns and finely tailored suits. I was relieved that my own dress held its ground among the sea of elegance. Good to know I hadnât miscalculated my choice. Yet, despite my outward confidence, something in me still felt... off.No matter how beautifully I was dressed, how gracefully I held myself, deep down, I felt like an imposter. Like I didnât
Stealing the Heart of the Lycan King   The Devilâs Touches
CALANTHA The Lunar Mask Ball was finally here. I stood before the full-length mirror in my room, as the maids fastened the final clasps of my dress. The gown was a masterpiece. Deep crimson and sculpted from silk that clung to every curve of my body. The plunging neckline left little to the imagination, teasing a generous view of my cleavage, while intricate beading cascaded down the bodice. The slit ran dangerously high, promising stolen glimpses of skin. It was bold and sinful. Perfect for a night like this. My auburn hair was styled into an elegant updo, with soft curls framing my face while the rest was twisted into a voluminous, intricate braid that fell over one shoulder. Delicate golden pins, shaped like crescent moons, gleamed within the strands, adding a touch of celestial charm. My makeup was just as daring. Smokey eyeshadow that made my olive green eyes stand out even more. A hint of blush on my high cheekbones. And lips painted a sultry shade of blood red. Since

BRADLEYI took a step back, scanning the room with a satisfied nod. The bed was neatly made, scattered with soft rose petals, and the air smelled warm and inviting from the diffuser I had lit. On a small tray near the bed, I had set out two empty wine flutes alongside a bottle of red wine.Everything was perfect.Hana was finally coming home.After weeks of guarding the borders with her squad, Kaiden had finally granted her a well-deserved breakâ the one we had both been waiting for all year. As Gamma of the pack, she was hardly ever around. She spent most of her time overseeing security, training warriors, or preparing for battles we hadnât faced in years. It was rare to have her here, and now that she was back, I wasnât about to waste a second.Just as I was admiring my work, a soft knock echoed at my door and I already knew who it was.In excitement and anticipation, I rushed to open it, and the moment I saw Hana standing there, I pulled her into a tight hug. She laughed, trying t
