Thank you to all who chose to read this book! It is the sequel to The Lycan King's Scarred Mate, but can be read on its own. It is recommended to read the first one though. You can read it right here as a single book or read it in The Lycan King's Scarred Mate at the bottom! Both will be updated together. This book will now be updated daily! This story does contain kidnapping. If you're a reader, not enjoying the topic, please proceed with caution or choose another book of mine. In these lycan books of mine, remember the wolf does not turn into a lycan just because their mate is one. You're either born as one or you aren't one.

-Jackson-The rain poured down on me, but I barely felt it. I pushed my body harder than ever. My wolf was clawing inside me, growling and pissed off. He would not be quiet these days. He was always grumbling and demanding I did more to get our mate back, to win her over. I wanted to. I wanted nothing more, but Daphne was no ordinary wolf. She was not even a wolf. Daphne was a lycan from a high-status family, and… she was engaged to someone else. It filled me with anger when I learned.I woke up, feeling groggy, but when I opened my eyes, the most beautiful sight appeared before me.“Daphne?” I whispered.She smiled at me, still holding my hand.“How are you?” she asked.“I’m okay. Roman’s cousin?” I replied.“Dead.”“Good,” I said softly. “Though I must admit, he was harder to take down than I thought.”She nodded slightly, squeezing my hand. Despite the pain in my body and being confined to a hospital bed, everything felt so perfect in that moment. But I sensed something was wrong wi
-Jackson-If there was one thing my parents had taught me, it was that a rejection was never a solution and something very disrespectful to do. Not just to your mate, but to the Goddess. A rejection should only be done if you had an abusive mate.“Dad, what are you saying?”“I'm saying I'm looking at half the child I used to have,” he said. “I’m worried. Your mother is scared for you, and you’re this pack’s future alpha. They need you, and you can’t keep this going.”“You and Mom have always taught me how important it is to honor the bond. How can you now suggest that I should reject her?” I inquired.“Because where do you see this going, Jackson?” he asked. “You’re not even trying to fight for her.”“I did!”“How?”“Oh, I’m sorry. Am I supposed to stalk her and beg her to be with me?” I snapped. “Should I be following her around all the time, or do you want me to go full caveman style, throwing her over my shoulder and claiming her?”“Of course not,” he said, shaking his head a bit an
-Daphne-“I don’t know,” my mom said, walking around me as the tailors adjusted the final details of my ceremony dress. It felt tighter than it should, or maybe it was just the knowledge that my union day was approaching, making it hard for me to breathe.I couldn’t say much anymore. It felt like I was drowning these days, suffocating. I didn’t want this, and it didn’t help that someone else filled my mind now. A werewolf. An alpha. Ana’s cousin, Jackson. And the thoughts were not sweet but filthy, making me feel hot all over. He hadn’t even touched me, and yet I was burning for him.“It just doesn’t seem right,” my mother sighed.“Mom, I’m sure it’s fine. You ordered this,” I said, holding out my arms as the long peach-colored dress lifted from the ground, making the tailors hiss at me for ruining their work.“Yes, but now it makes you look… chubby.”“Chubby?” I asked, stunned.“Yeah, it’s too puffy.”“Puffy?”“Can we tighten the waist a bit more?” my mother requested.“Mom, I can bar
-Daphne-Her shouting drew my father into the room. He must have been walking by, and while he often didn’t want to deal with my mother’s moods, he seemed to sense I might need some help.“What’s going on here?” my dad asked.“Our daughter is in love,” my mother retorted.“Oh?”“With a werewolf.”“With a what?” my dad inquired, and I glanced over my shoulder, seeing him step closer. “I’m sure I heard wrong.”“No, it’s true…”“Why? How?”“We are… mates,” I said, the words slipping out. “True mates.”I was surprised I’d kept it a secret for as long as I had, but I couldn’t keep it in any longer.“True mates?” my dad asked, his voice disbelieving. “With a werewolf?”I could see the faint smile tugging at his lips. He found it amusing.“And?”“And I’m sure I heard wrong.”“No,” I said, shaking my head. “And he’s not just any werewolf. He comes from a powerful family. He’s an alpha. Shouldn’t that matter?”“Not when he is a werewolf,” my dad said flatly.“But we’re true mates! Mates go abov
-Jackson-My friends had dragged me out tonight, concerned about how isolated I had become, but I wasn’t in the mood to be here. The only reason I’d come was because they wouldn’t stop nagging me, and I knew my parents were just as worried. But now, here I was, sitting by myself, enjoying my drink while my friends went off “hunting”.Go get her! my wolf urged.Shut up! I growled as I took another sip of my drink.“Jackson!” One of my friends slapped his hand against my back, almost making me spill my drink.“Fucker,” I muttered under my breath.“Jackson, meet Ivory,” Gary said, grinning as he guided a female wolf to sit in front of me.“You’re welcome,” he whispered in my ear, and I just shook my head.He knew about Daphne. Everyone knew I’d met my mate, but they thought they were helping me get through a rough patch. They weren’t.“Jackson, right?” she teased, leaning forward.“Yeah,” I replied, not interested.“Well, I certainly don’t mind spending my night with you.”She was forward
-Daphne-I stretched my body, rolling my head around as I entered my family’s house. The silence was thick, but it was already late, and I had just returned from a run. But I couldn’t sleep unless I tired myself out because of…A sigh escaped my lips as I made my way upstairs to my room. I shed my clothes and stepped into the bathroom, where I showered and washed my long blonde hair. Once I felt clean, I brushed my teeth and dried off before slipping into a simple white nightgown. I crawled under the thick covers of my bed, but the moment I settled in, it happened again. Thoughts of Jackson filled my mind, and my body heated up, yearning for something I couldn’t have.“You have got to be kidding me,” I muttered in frustration, pushing the covers off as the warmth became unbearable.I reached down between my legs, knowing there was no other way I was going to fall asleep. There was no hesitation—I was already dripping just at the thought of him. When my fingers found my clit, a small ga
-Jackson-Coming here tonight, after days of packing and preparing, had been the best decision I’d ever made. I’d snuck into Daphne’s territory, borrowed a bit of Roman’s clothing to mask my scent, and used a hook and rope to climb up to her balcony.“Shit, Jackson!” Daphne gasped, her body dangling over my shoulder as I carried her outside.“Please put me down!” she begged.“Not yet,” I replied, my tone firm.“Where are we even going?”“I’m making a horrible decision and kidnapping you.”“You’re what?” she hissed, trying to keep her voice low enough not to wake anyone.“Yup.”“You’re kidnapping me? Are you crazy?”“Most likely,” I said with a smirk. “But these last three months have driven me insane.”“Jackson! Put me down and let’s talk.”“What is there to say? You’re mine. I’m yours, and now I’m taking what’s mine.”“Jackson, that’s not how our world works anymore!” she snapped, her voice filled with frustration.“No, I’m aware. But tell me, Daphne—if I ask you to come with me, will

-Daphne-Two years later.“Jackson?” I called as I walked into my mate’s office. We often spent time together in this space, but I had woken up late today. He lifted his head and smiled at me, his expression brightening as I entered.“Hey,” he replied, his smile growing wider the closer I got.I walked around the desk, grinning playfully. As he reached for me, trying to pull me closer, I playfully moved away, leaving him looking puzzled.“Can’t I touch you now?” he chuckled.“Not yet.”“Oh, are we playing?”“Yup, my own little special game," I admitted.“Is that the game where you tease me mercilessly with your mouth and tongue?” he asked with a smirk.“No," I replied.“Where you strip and drive me crazy?”“Nope.”“I’m getting confused now,” he said, making me laugh. “What kind of game are we playing?”“A guessing game," I revealed.“Okay,” he replied. “Is there a prize for me to win?”He smiled mischievously, and I nodded.“I’m all in, then," he said.“Tell me the first thing that com
-Jackson-Daphne had her fears, but after I recovered and her parents received a proper sentence locking them away for years, she stepped up to the role of luna. I had never seen her flourish like this before. It was as if a hidden side of her had been waiting to emerge, ready to show what she could truly accomplish. We offered the pack members a choice, and almost everyone preferred to merge rather than remain independent.Daphne and those who chose to join her moved to our territory, but she still retained ownership of her parents’ former land and house. She made it clear that anyone who wanted to stay could do so, but they would remain under both our control. Everything was going great between us.I watched from a distance as my mate returned from a late run. Daphne smiled brightly as she saw me on the porch, and I pulled her closer, kissing her deeply.“Hey,” I whispered.“Missed me?” she chuckled.“Very much. We hardly do anything but work lately,” I admitted.“Yeah, what else sho
-Daphne-Jackson had to undergo minor surgery, but the doctor assured me he would recover quickly. It wasn’t long before he woke up, and all of us were there for him. His eyes found me first, and he smiled sweetly.“Hey,” he whispered.“How are you feeling?” I asked.“Sleepy.”“Yeah, the drugs are wearing off slowly.”“Mmm, wonderful,” he murmured.Jackson’s parents moved closer, and I let them have a moment with him as I motioned for Roman to follow me out into the hallway. We stopped a little further away from the others.“I can’t believe they did this,” I said, my voice low but fierce.“How do you want to handle it?”“I want them in jail until they die! If I weren’t such a peaceful person, I would hunt them down myself and end them!”Roman smiled at me, a proud look on his face. Confused, I glanced at him.“What?” I asked.“I just never heard you speak about them like that before.”“Yeah, well, they haven’t tried to kill my mate before. Those bastards!”He nodded slightly. “I will m
-Jackson-I was on the ground, bleeding and completely beaten. I had fought before—had my fair share of bruises and close calls—but this felt personal. The pain was different. I wasn’t sure how many had attacked me, but the unmistakable scent of lycan filled the room, signaling that these were no ordinary wolves. I had managed to take down one of them, who now lay motionless not far from me, but the others loomed above, and I couldn’t understand why they had stopped kicking me.But suddenly, the door opened, and I saw polished shoes approaching. Straining to keep my eyes open, I let them wander up to see Daphne’s father standing before me.“You’ve caused me a lot of problems,” he accused.I tried to speak, but all I could do was cough up blood.“I need to have you removed so I can bring my daughter home.”Hadn’t he already tried to ruin her with those rumors? Why would he want to kill me now?“She… is… mine,” I croaked.“Not for long.”I watched in horror as one of the others handed hi
-Jackson-Daphne was initially scared as we began to dance, but when I asked her what it mattered what other people thought, something shifted in her. She started to enjoy our night. I led her through two dances before we finally joined the party and began to mingle.Not many people wanted to talk to us, but I knew some individuals would never be swayed. They thrived on drama and reveled in the rumors, but we wouldn’t let that bother us. Daphne and I were happy together, and nothing could ruin that.“I see my parents,” Daphne mumbled as she sipped her drink.After a while, we had retreated to the bar to enjoy some time together.“You want to talk to them now?” I inquired.I knew it was the smart move, but Daphne shook her head.“Not yet.”“Well, how about you wait here while I go to the bathroom for a moment, and then we can face them?” I suggested.“Yeah, let’s wait a little. I’ll be right here,” she assured me.I leaned closer and kissed her before downing my drink, then I walked awa
-Daphne-Jackson came up behind me as I stood in the closet, fully dressed. He kissed my neck, filling me with a sense of calm and security as I felt his powerful body pressed against mine. I let out a soft moan as he kissed the mark on my shoulder.My dress was sleeveless and strapless, and my hair was up, making it clear to everyone that I was taken. I knew this pleased my mate immensely. It was a silent statement to anyone who dared to approach me. I squeezed his hands on my stomach before turning around to face him.“You ready?” he asked.“Not really,” I admitted.“Why not?”“I’m so nervous. I’ve never stood up to them before.”He smiled softly and kissed me. “You’re not alone.”I smiled back, finally noticing how incredibly handsome he looked in a suit. I ran my hands down his arms and back up, and I knew he noticed the shift in me.“Like what you see?”“Very much,” I confessed.“You look amazing too,” he complimented, making me grin wider as warmth flushed my cheeks.“I love you,
-Jackson-Later in the evening, as rain began to pour, my family gathered in one of the living rooms. It was just my parents, Daphne, Ana, Roman, and me. We sipped drinks, munched on snacks, and chatted, and I genuinely enjoyed being there with them. I loved them all so much, and when I turned to look at my mate, I felt it in my heart too. I was falling for Daphne.“So, when are you heading home?” I asked Ana.“Oh, you want to get rid of me that fast, huh?” she teased.We all chuckled.“Just asking,” I replied.“No, you’re trying to kick me out,” she teased.I shook my head, but she finally turned serious. “No, we’re going home tomorrow to start setting everything up for the party.”“It’ll be the party from hell,” Daphne said.“No, it’ll be fine,” Roman assured her.“Is there anything special we should be prepared for?” my mother inquired.“Just that my family can be mean,” Daphne said.“We all need to be confident and relaxed,” Roman advised. “It wouldn’t surprise me if the rumors hav
-Daphne-Roman and I walked side by side outside. Jackson and Ana had decided to spend some time together after Roman asked if he could have a moment with me. I was grateful he had asked because I had missed my friend and needed his guidance.“So, how is it going?” Roman asked.“It’s… good,” I replied, searching for the right word. Even “good” couldn’t fully capture how wonderful I felt.When Roman noticed the smile on my lips, he began to smile too. “You look better.”“Better?” I echoed.“Taller,” he said.“Yeah, Jackson brings out something in me,” I admitted, feeling a rush of warmth at how my mate was transforming me for the better.“I wish I could have done more for you,” he said. “Being my queen was supposed to be your escape, but then Ana appeared, and you had to go home again.”“Roman, I don’t blame you for loving her,” I assured him.“No, but I feel bad that I couldn’t do more for you, that I allowed them to turn you into that person,” he confessed.“That person?” I questioned
