THE LYCAN KING'S HIDDEN PRINCESS Prologue
Valerian’s pov I rushed into my home as the wind picked up rather rapidly and the sky was darkening quite fast; it looked like there was going to be a big storm. ”This can’t be a good sign” my wife said looking out the kitchen window. A sudden storm on a day like this is never a good sign but we had to be hopeful, the queen was in labour. “I know love, but we must have faith in the Goddess” I said, hugging her from behind. “It should have been you! Everyone knows it should have been you delivering that baby!” she huffed, leaning her back into me. I could feel her worry, and it took everything in me to not succumb to my own. “The King knows best love” I said, rubbing my hands up and down her arms, hoping that was at least enough to calm her a little, but my efforts did nothing to soothe her, not even a little. She pulled away from my embrace and took a few steps away; throwing the dish rag she’d been using to wipe the counter into the empty sink. “The King is a fool!” she ye

Alari’s pov A sudden rush of air blew past me, chilling me to bone. And why is it so dark, I never sleep with my light off!I looked around frantically, trying to figure out where the hell I was; only to realise I was in the middle of the freaking woods! Did I sleep walk again? How did I even end up here? Oh Goddess, am I lost? But, why does this place feel so familiar? “Valerian!” a woman’s cry pulled me out of my thoughts, making me turn around just in time to see a small cabin materialize out of thin air. The door swung open and tall man came into view. He looked vaguely familiar but I couldn’t make out his face, it’s almost like his face was blurred so I couldn’t tell who it was. The man picked up the woman and brought her inside the cabin while I stood there contemplating whether I wanted to follow or not; but then again, what could possibly go wrong? It’s not like I’m in the middle of the forest with cabins popping up out of thin air and zero memory of how I get here. St

Alari‟s pov I quickly wolfed down my breakfast and washed my plate so I could leave the house. As much as I hated the pack house, it was a better trade than staying here in this awkward tension. “See you guys later” I said as I kissed them goodbye. “Have a good day honey” dad said as I dashed out of the kitchen towards the front door. “I‟ll try” I said grabbing the door knob and twisting it open. My hand moved up before I could catch the movement with my eyes, saving me from getting hit in the face. “Oh Goddess, I'm so sorry” Pearl, my best friend, well, maybe my only friend; shrieked with eyes wide open. I sighed, letting go of the hand that almost hit me. “I swear I was just trying to knock” she rushed out almost panicked, making me smile at how cute she was. “Don‟t sweat it babe” I said with a small chuckle, watching her exhale in relief. “How did you even do that?! That was some quick reflex action!” she practically yelled as we walked away from the door, fascination rep

Xavier’s pov Forever seems to be the right word for how long I’ve been gone from home. Five whole years without seeing my parents and the pack and today was finally the day I would set foot on the lands that would soon be mine. “I swear the air is even sweeter” said Jackson, my best friend and Beta, sniffing outside the window. “Sure is buddy” I said, taking a deep breathe, driving past the all too familiar trees of my pack. Fuck I missed this place. “I get that you’re excited to be home but don’t lie” Lilly laughed from the back seat and Jackson whipped around to look at her. “You act like you weren’t jumping for joy when we were at your pack!” he exclaimed, making her laugh harder and shake her head. “At least I didn’t lie about the air being sweeter!” she said back, making me smile at how good she got along with Jackson, being my girlfriend and definitely future Luna. We met at the council compound five years ago and became friends instantly. As the only child and heir to he
Last Updated : 2023-12-10THE LYCAN KING'S HIDDEN PRINCESS Rejection
Alari’s povI could hear the distant chatter, laughter, happiness; and I could feel the pack’s excitement through the pack bond, our Alpha was finally home.Forced to keep out of sight, Pearl and I stayed in the kitchen, doing whatever we were told to do to make sure the Alpha’s return was a great one. Of course we wanted to be there but being the runts of the pack, our presence would sour the mood and as much as I hated this pack, some part of me wanted to please my Alpha.I don’t know if it was all the excitement in the air but my wolf was present as well, I could feel her, stronger than ever and it gave me a sense of normalcy; like I finally belonged in his pack.“Why aren’t we allowed to have lunch with the pack? It’s a special occasion, everyone should be welcome!” Pearl said through gritted teeth with a hint of sadness mixed with anger, and she was right, we should be at that table as well, we’re also part of the pack for Goddess sake.“We’ll see the Alpha tomorrow at the ascen
Last Updated : 2023-12-16THE LYCAN KING'S HIDDEN PRINCESS Outcast
Alari’s povI pulled myself off the floor, wincing and moaning at the pain coursing through my body, no one ever told me a rejection hurt this much; but it’s not every day a wolf rejects their mate.Dragging myself into the bathroom, I looked at my reflection and broke my own heart. My eyes were swollen and red, my face pink and tear stained, I looked like shit and felt even shittier. Loud, joyous laughter filtered in through the open window and my heart twisted in envy and anger; they were enjoying themselves and here I was breaking. My own mate is out there having the time of his life!I washed my face, trying to look as presentable as possible and steeled my aching heart. I knew the risk of going out there, I knew the rejection that was waiting for me; I’d seen and felt it all my life but I needed to be strong. I couldn’t let them keep treating me this way; I had to show him that I could stand up for myself.I wiped my face with a towel and walked out, squaring my shoulders, menta

Xavier’s pov“Take back the rejection! Go back to our mate, she hasn’t accepted, she can still forgive us!” Asher growled and yelled at me, making my head pound even harder than it already was. “What’s done is done; I’m not taking it back. Get over yourself!” I growled back, walking out of the pack house. I pushed him to the back of my mind with a lot of effort and put a smile on my face as my pack turned to greet me. Lilly was standing next to Jackson and my parents, whatever she was talking about making her eyes sparkle as she smiled but her shine had lost its effect on me, it just wasn’t as appealing anymore.But it didn't matter, it would all fall back into place once Alari accepted the rejection and I mark Lilly as my Luna. Asher will have no choice but to love her too. “Alpha” pack members choruses as I walked past, bowing their heads in respect and I nodded in response, shoulders straight and head high as I approached Lilly, Jackson and my parents. Lilly latched onto me th
Last Updated : 2023-12-21THE LYCAN KING'S HIDDEN PRINCESS Miserable existence
Alari's povIt was the sound of yelling that pulled me out of my deep slumber, as unpleasant as it was.“It shouldn't have happened in the first place Beth! She deserves to be happy too!” I heard my father yell at my mother. “If all he cares about is power then he doesn't deserve her!” My mother yelled back and I felt tears sting my eyes. Xavier, he rejected me…Tuning out the yelling in the house, my mind wondered over everything that happened yesterday, tears streaming down my face. How could the Goddess be so cruel? What did I ever do to anyone to deserve such pain? Why curse me this way? Don't I deserve to be happy?I can't remember the last time I smiled genuinely, truly laughed or even allowed myself to even dream of a happy life. Was this miserable existence all I was born for? To be a slave to a pack that only saw me as garbage? Why me?! Goddess why me? I cried until my eyes stung, until I physically couldn't cry anymore. All I could do was feel my heart break over and

THE LYCAN KING'S HIDDEN PRINCESS Epilogue
Alari's pov Waddling into the library as fast as I could, my eyes rounded before relief flooded me.“Pearl! Hide me!” I said, moving as fast as I could while reaching out my hands for her to grab.Aaaaah yes, reduced from a war hero to a heavily pregnant, waddling mess, how glorious!“Alari!” Dad's voice came first, followed by rushed foot steps.“She's in here!” Pearl yelled, making me freeze where I stood, my eyes going wide with shock.“You traitor!” I grabbed the closest book to me and chucked it at her, watching her laugh as she dodged my weapon of destruction.“What's going on?” Mason asked, coming out from behind a shelf. “Somebody doesn't want to drink her medicine” Pearl sang, swaying side to side like she was enjoying my torture.Dad burst through the door with my grandfather right behind him. I grabbed another book and spun to face them, threatening them with it. “Don't fight, just take a little sip or two” dad said, raising his empty hand up in surrender. I growled at
THE LYCAN KING'S HIDDEN PRINCESS She's gone
Alari's pov “Alari! Wake up, I need you to wake up now!” a pretty voice floated over me, making me groan. Fuck! What was that pain! Why couldn't I open my eyes?!“Baby listen to me, I need you to open your eyes, right now!” Pretty voice is panicking, wonder why?“Open your eyes!” Pretty voice wasn't so pretty when it was giving me a headache.Fucking ouch! My eyes fluttered and I was met with blurry darkness, then green, and they fluttered closed again.I felt like I was being pulled, no, dragged, by my arms and they fucking hurt!“Baby please, wake up!” Sobbing, why was she sobbing?My eyes fluttered again but this time, a blinding white greeted me, and a face, a pretty blurred face shouting over me.“That's it, come on! Fight the darkness, ignore the pain, wake up!” She said, my eyes clearing a little.“M..mom?” Speaking burnt my throat, why was it so dry?Darkness enveloped me again, but I fought it, and opened my eyes again.“Oh, somebody calling her mommy? Don't worry my littl
THE LYCAN KING'S HIDDEN PRINCESS Hardly fair if you ask me
Alari's pov “Kill them! Kill all of them!” Helena screeched, making her army spring into action. “Don't you dare leave my side!” Damien growled.“Don't you dare leave my side!” Vivica repeated, cracking her neck.Chaos, that's the best way to explain what was happening. Cal and his group jumped from the trees like samurai, cutting down the creatures they fell on. Stopping the first wave from reaching us.But there was too many, and soon enough, they got past them. Grandpa, who was in the front line, broke the spear he'd been holding in half and drove the two sharp ends through the chests of two beasts that had flung themselves at him. They were brutal, and unforgiving, and one by one, the beasts fell, one after the other but there were too many, and without fail, I found myself driving my crystal clear spear into inky black fur.I didn't get a chance to celebrate my kill because another one launched itself over the dead one, coming straight for me. Literally thinking on my toes, I
THE LYCAN KING'S HIDDEN PRINCESS Make a call
Alari's pov “Viv come on, we didn't come here to fight” Cal shook his head, before turning his pained gaze to me.His eyes held longing, and when his hands clenched, I knew he was holding himself back.Before me was a man that grew up with my mother, trained with her, loved her, even when she couldn't reciprocate.Unrequited love, and then she died… how sadVivica closed her eyes, breaking eye contact with my grandfather and breathed deeply.“I'm sorry, that's not the first impression I want you to have of me” she spoke softly, her words directed to me. She had no idea I knew all about her, how feisty she was, her temper, and all the trouble she and my mother got into. “We just want to know you, and Roan is hogging you to himself!” She sent a glare my grandfather's way before relaxing her gaze when she returned it to me.“And you will, but right now, we must leave” grandpa said with an edge to his voice, leaving very little room for argument but the change is Vivica’s expression to
THE LYCAN KING'S HIDDEN PRINCESS Goddesses of creation
Alari's pov The clothes my grandfather had given made us blend in, well, me more than Damien but he was pretty close and looked very, very yummy. With his muscled arms on display, I wanted to rip the entire shirt of and feast on him!“You two look great” grandfather said as he turned away from the river to face us.“Thank you” I smiled, watching a little sadness flicker in his eyes. I must be wearing my mother's clothes.“How about a tour of the realm of creation” he said, making me wonder what he meant by realm of creation, I thought this was the Kingdom of the dark elves…?I wanted to ask what he meant but a bubbling feeling of impending doom pushed the questions aside, I needed to warm him about Helena.“Grandpa, we need to talk about something, it's important” I said, trying not to show how scared I actually was. If anything happened to them because of me, I don't think I could live with myself.“What is it?” He frowned, giving me a once over before his eyes settled on mine.“N
THE LYCAN KING'S HIDDEN PRINCESS Hot springs
Alari's pov Grandpa embraced me, his hold a little too tight, like he still couldn't believe that I was here. Heck, neither could I! This has always been something too absurd to even dream, wish for, and now, I had it.“How about we make breakfast and you can tell me all about you, mhm?” he said, pulling back to look into my eyes as if searching for something. “She's gone” I smiled at him, which he returned. “Good, I've lost enough people to that woman” he said, his expression turning sour. “We won't lose anyone else, I promise” I said, taking both his hands into mine. I'd hoped to reassure him but the way his face fell told me I wasn't even close.“Oh sweetheart, that's a promise no one can make. Helena is a very powerful and dangerous witch, a very old one at that, making her even more dangerous” he said with a sigh.There were many emotions swimming in his eyes but the most prominent one was fear. My grandfather was afraid of Helena and if I was being honest, I was too.But th
THE LYCAN KING'S HIDDEN PRINCESS Clara
Alari's pov I was on my knees, my breathing ragged. I couldn't stop my heart from trying to escape me, I was afraid.She was here, she'd been waiting, for me to close my eyes so she could pounce on me.She didn't even have to say anything, I could feel her burning gaze, her cold, dark presence looming over my head.“Focus Alari, this is my mind, I make the rules” I said to myself, softly, as if trying to make she didn't hear me pep talk myself.“No, I make the rules” the feel of her cold breathe as she whispered straight into my ear hit me hard, causing my body to shake from the pain that vibrated through my system. Shit! This wasn't like before, the nausea, this was worse! It felt like she was wrecking me from the inside, tearing at my organs. Groaning, I swear I tasted blood as my body kept shaking from the pain flooding my mind.Something wasn't right, all of this didn't feel right. Why was her presence so strong? I felt like a stranger in my own mind.I tried to get to my feet
THE LYCAN KING'S HIDDEN PRINCESS Roan
Alari's povNever in my life had I seen anything like this. Large, colourful trees stretching for a far as the eye could see, moving to the wind as if they were dancing, I wouldn't be surprised if their did. The sky had an ethereal glow to it, with the stars blinking against a pinkish purple background, wonder what it looks like in the day.The cliff we were standing on gave a great view of this place, though I suspected that there was so much more.“Come, this way!” Allison said excitedly, flying downhill. I felt a little vulnerable, having let go of Damien's hand, so I took his into mine and we made our way down the hill.A white cobblestone path went in between the tress, which had cracks along the bark, light shining from the cracks and lighting up the way. At the top of trees were beautifully crafted houses that seemed to mold to the trees as if they were part of them.I wondered if they were actually like that or the elves coming out of them to watch us, had something to do w
THE LYCAN KING'S HIDDEN PRINCESS Welcome home
Damien's pov I'd woken up an hour after, my body too tired to sleep and starting to feel sluggish, but Alari was still fast asleep and looked peaceful.After watching her sleep for… I don't know how long, I slipped out of bed, making sure I didn't wake her. She stirred a little when I finally detached and I put my pillow in her arms, calming her with my scent. I needed to get some work done, and after relieving myself, I sat around the lounge area and went on my laptop. Hours went by and she still slept, I wondered if I should wake her or just let her rest because she needed it. The pregnancy alone had already taken so much from her, and the stress of everything is just overwhelming, she needed this. She slept through the day and the occassional twist and turn told me she was fine, just resting.Dusk was approaching fast and I worried that she wouldn't sleep a wink throughout the night and I was debating whether I should wake her, or let her wake up by herself. I was watching h
