The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride NOT ANYMORE
“What's up with your sweet wife?” Damian began. His face held a smirk. Derrick shot him a glare. “Well, I'm open to offering some of my magnanimous wisdom and knowledge of women if you want,” he added, still smirking. Derrick shuddered a sigh. “What do you suggest I do? She won't accept to be my mate and—” he paused and felt his heart tighten. It had been happening recently ever since he found out Lia was his mate. The mere thought of her made his heart race and his wolf excited. Suddenly she was a part of him he didn't want to lose. That he was afraid of not having. “Be nice to her,” Damian said softly. He looked at him. “Nice? I am very nice to her. I mean, I have been these days.” At least he was trying. “Not that. Be nicer to her and why don't you court her properly?”“Court?” He almost screamed in shock. “Yeah, I know you have never courted any woman before. Your heart is probably harder than a rock.” Derrick’s face reddened. “I have courted lots of women,” he countered s

Derrick waited patiently. His eyes kept wandering towards the path Lia was to show up in. The weather was cold and he could feel the air blow past his skin. He checked the blanket he'd brought to wrap her if she came dressed lightly. Happy it was intact, he drew a breath. On the small table before him were fruits, a bottle of wine, two drinking glasses and a flower vase. Thick blanket was spread on the ground and colourful lights only bright enough to see faces of the ones surrounded. The flower petals dropped gently at intervals. Everything was beautiful. He nodded his head slightly. Damian arrangement wasn't bad. Then a frown creased his face. Was this what Damian was always doing to impress lady forgetting his Beta duties?He checked his wristwatch. It was getting to midnight and Lia still hadn't showed up. Another thirty minutes and if he she didn't show up and itt would be obvious she wouldn't be coming. Time past and things remained as they were. He was now certain Lia was

LIA’S POV Carlos and I would be breaking Dad out of jail today. So far, our plan was halfway ready but the other half was the problem. Carlos had to enter the house. Derrick must never see him. “Where are you—” Clara tried to ask me as I was leaving. I brushed past her without a word. Since that day I had not said a single word to her. I was yet to figure out what she was but this was the time I really needed to be careful. I was going to visit Ma'am Lucy and inquire about Clara from her but Ma'am Lucy was on leave. And there was no one else to ask. I didn't trust anyone else enough to ask. Carlos would be waiting at the gate where I would pick him up from. I made sure to take a tag Ethan had given me. It was proof that I was the Luna. I didn't have to show my face if I had it. I had secretly met Ethan and got it. I really hoped he never mentioned it to Damian. I was allowed out of the gate where I picked up Carlos. “So what's the plan?” He asked as we walked back into the house

LIA’S POV I thought I had a perfect plan. Or at least close to it. Derrick never was one to be out of his quarters by this time for no emergency reason. What was he doing here?He flashed the big torchlight and I had to tilt my face from the blinding light. “Who—” he was about to ask but abruptly stopped. Me and Carlos was yet to turn around. I could hear him approaching us. “Lia, isn't this the time we run?” Carlos whispered. “Turn around you two. Slowly,” Derrick ordered. I was going to consider Carlos' suggestions but it was too late as Derrick was already behind us now. A stretch and he'd grab us. This wasn't some amateur place nor was Derrick some amateur warrior. We would never make it out alive even if we managed to successfully run from Derrick. One alarm and hundreds of scary guards would be out hunting for us. My goal was always to free Dad. If I fled now, it would all be pointless. Carlos could lose his life. Dad would be killed and I…“Carlos, let's do as he say and d

“That bastard…he is suspecting us,” Alpha Dante said. He, Beta Carlos and Alpha Greg were in his sitting room. They had decided to not use their usual hideout which Alpha Blake knew. Privacy was important and whatever that would link them to Alpha Blake should be avoided. The maid servant served the drinks. Alpha Dante ordered her to leave and also make sure to extend the instructions to the other servants. “You think Blake will speak? I don't trust that bastard,” he started. Alpha Gregory uncorked the drink and began to pour into the various drinking glasses. “He would not. Not when he wants his dear daughter alive. What do you think the king would do when he finds out his wife is Alpha Blake's daughter?”“I think his daughter is in it too. She is deceiving the king. If not, why would the king get married to her? He has no idea she has no lycan blood.”Alpha Dante lifted his own glass. “We need a plan B. Just in case. I have a bad feeling. Blake is a cunning man.”The three men fe
Terakhir Diperbarui : 2025-04-18The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride ACTING THIS WAY
LIA POV“Alpha Blake is released from jail,” Clara said to me. These days I just pretended like she wasn't there at all. Unless she did it, I attended to my needs and never sent her on errands. Not like I had many errands anyway. She never stopped working as my personal assistant upon the attitude I gave but never for once did she apologize. She only carried a guilty face which I thought was all an act. My decision was to avoid her until ma'am Lucy returned from her leave. But when I heard ‘Alpha Blake has been released from jail’, I forgot about my grudge. “What? My D–” I caught myself before it slipped. I practically floated out of bed next with my toes barely touching the ground. I ran all the way to Derrick's quarters. What had happened? Why did he set Dad free? Had he found the real killer? I had already dashed into his chamber when I realized I was supposed to knock or at least announce my presence. Then came the embarrassment. His brows first arched up and his eyes sligh

LIA “Tell me the truth, Lia,” Carlos demanded when I ran into him on my way out. Shit. I should have waited a bit before leaving Derrick's quarters. Why did Derrick have to make him stay here and cause trouble for me?“Carlos, listen, it's better you don't know. For your own safety.”“What? For my own safety? Fuvk it Lia! What safety are you talking about exactly? I am here in the guise of a lycan when I'm a bloody werewolf!”“Stop yelling!” I gritted. “I want to know what you have done. My life is already at risk being here alone.”“Then you should have left then. You should have left her when I gave you the chance.”“I see you don't need me anymore. I heard your father is released.”I sighed. I didn't mean to sound ungrateful. I got him involved in the first place. “Does he know that you are not a lycan? How long have you been playing his wife? Does your father know? Do you have no fear or are you just a fool?”Fuvk. This guy was driving me crazy. I shouldn't have ever asked him

DERRICK I had never been this happy ever since the death of my first mate and unborn pup. I had no idea when it started exactly or how but I realized I had fallen for Lia. Even I couldn't believe myself. I mean she was supposed to be my bait. When I caught Alpha Blake I had the odd feeling. I had no idea why or how Lia felt it too—that Alpha Blake might not be the enemies I was looking for. But her words that day had helped to not make the decision of harming a possible innocent person. In the midst of the confusion about my feelings for her, I discovered she was my mate. How…she'd been with me for over months and I only realized she was my mate. I doubted it at first but the realization was strong and I ended up asking her. But to my greatest shock, Lia did not want to be my mate. Nothing had driven me that crazy. In the whole world, I was the most eligible bachelor and most wanted man for mating yet she didn't want me. I had laughed the first time she said it and didn't believe

The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride BLACKMAIL
“Dante! Come out here, you bastard!” Alpha Blake roared in front of Alpha Dante's house. The number of guards mounted in front of the gate was too much for him to go through–as if Dante had suspected of his coming and prepared. “You will regret this! You will regret this!”“Get out of my way or go in there and bring that bastard out!” He snarled at Dante's men. “Who is creating this unrest in my premises?” Alpha Dante came out in his balcony and barked. “Unrest in your premises?” Blake retorted charging past his grabbers. As the men rushed to seize him again, Alpha Dante signalled for them to stay back. “Alpha Blake, why have you come to my house to create problems by this time of the day?”“Where is my daughter?! Where is my daughter!”“What are you talking about?” Alpha Dante frowned. His face registered a surprise of a first time hearing s news. Alpha Blake clenched. “Don't give me that pretense look. I know you kidnapped my daughter. Bring out my daughter now!”“I have no ide
The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride DAWN
“What's going on?” Emily whispered to Jimmy referring to the crowd gathered in front of the notice board. Jimmy did a small dance as he dusted off his gloves. They were done for the day and he couldn't be more glad. Working in a pub wasn't an easy one. They'd only found out. “Probably another soon to happen protest or something about the king or his Luna. Whatever. We already have so much in our hands to worry about others.”“Are we still going to the death records center?” Emily asked. They had decided to set aside time to search for Lia despite their unavoidable busy schedule. “Why are you so bent on checking there. Lia is not dead,” she added trying to not sound as harsh as she already did. “Because we will still look there. It's better we look now and forget about it. And I really hope she is not there. Come on, we have like two other places to check today.”“Would that even help? If she died here, no one would care nor notice. Would they even let us see their death record?”
The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride NOT ANOTHER MISTAKE
Derrick fumed. What sort of prank was that? Who was the idiot that brought him out? He swore to cut off his throat if he caught him. The moment he got out of his car, he headed to the dungeon. He was going to set Clara free but would seriously warn her to never come close to Lai. He should watch him catch her sister's killers but it won't be at the expense of Lia's death. He had already gotten in front of the dungeon when he heard Rick and Damian yell his name. “Derrick, we have a problem. A serious problem. Lia has been kidnapped.”“What?” Derrick was frozen. “What do you mean she is kidnapped?”“She is nowhere to be found.”The first place his mind went. “Clara,” he gritted. “And Clara? Did any of you release her without my consent?” He scowled, advancing quickly towards the holding cell. “Clara is still in the holding cell. She is not the one,” Rick said, forcing him to stop. Derrick staggered back and in an instant dashed over to Lia's quarters. “Lia! Lia!” He called as he se
The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride WEAK LUNA, STRIKE TIME
Alpha Greg waved the guards to not bother leading him in as he trotted past them. He'd been here over a dozen times and knew his way with his eyes closed. He rapped lightly on the door and walked in. Alpha Dante seemed to be thinking but as soon as he walked in, he released a throaty cough. “You came quicker than usual.” His right brow arched up. Alpha Greg settled into his usual sitting position. “Am I the only one worried? Did you not hear? Blake visited the king yesterday as soon as he left here.”Alpha Dante did not look alarmed. Seeing him relaxed annoyed Alpha Greg who was not reluctant to say his mind. “You are so relaxed for a man who had plotted everything, Dante. If you are trying or even thinking of pinning everything on me, then this would not be funny.”“I have told you to relax, Greg! This is why your Pack members think you are a weakling and a scaredy-cat,” Alpha Dante said dismissively and hissed. Alpha Greg was ticked off. “Me? A weakling? Says who? Who said that!
The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride TOUGH CHOICE
WRITER’S POV “You disgust me! You irritate me! My sister did not deserve a mate like you!” Clara slammed at Derrick. He'd come to visit her in the holding cell where he ordered her to be kept until he figured out what to do with her. He regarded her quietly. “Yes, kill me! You think I'm being unreasonable? You think I'm being wicked? Then imagine how my poor innocent sister must have felt dying unfairly! Imagine how she'd feel watching you move on so quickly from her death like it meant nothing!”“Why did you take up her name?”“What?” Clara scoffed. “Is that what is important now? The name I chose to bear?” “You are very different from her.”“Yes I'm very different. In fact, we are both very unalike. She was too soft and had the worst luck to be mated to someone like you. That is why she died such a stupid death. She should never have accepted to be your mate in the first place! She should never have gotten pregnant for a man like you…now look where she ended up. My poor sister.
The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride MISCARRIAGE
LIAI had gotten to my quarters. Left to ascend the few stairs before I got past the door when I felt something knot in my stomach forcing me to halt. “Are you alright, my Luna?” I heard the guard ask. I opened my mouth but only a groan came out. My head felt light and I needed support. Tried to find one but ended up staggering. The guard was quick to catch me. “Are you alright? My Luna?” I began to hear several echoes. My already heavy eyes couldn't remain open. I passed out. When I opened my eyes much later, I was in a room that smelt like herbs and meds. I tried to raise my hand but it was proving difficult. “My love, you are awake!” Derrick shot up. Ah. I sighed. He was the one making it difficult to move my hand. Like a scanner, his eyes examined all over my body as he ordered for the doctor and healer to be sent in. The healer, a woman, ran checks on my body. She pulled my lower and upper eyelids, felt my pulse and did the others I didn't know their significance. “What'
The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride DATING HER PHASE
LIA“Come with me to meet a guest,” Derrick nudged me. We were in bed in his chamber, my head on his chest and his arm over me. All we had done since we discovered we were mates, was make love, hang out, eat, go on dates. Derrick said he was in his dating me phase. And that he would like us to do another wedding after it. He said he wanted to start with me on a fresh note. Wanting a fresh start was right. Perhaps. First wedding, I was a fake bride arrested as an intruder, second wedding I was a substitute bride. But would we really be starting on a fresh note if we had another wedding? Everything I have said to discourage him from having another wedding only seemed to fuel his idea more. I had given up trying to change his mind. I knew I would not be there. He would cuddle me, snuggle so close and kiss me at every chance. He cooked for me too and damn he could cook. He was a fuvking hopeless romantic! I couldn't tell if he'd changed so much or if he was always like that? How did he
The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride REAL TRUTH
“You desist from being my Beta henceforth,” Alpha Blake gritted. “Alpha Blake!” Beta Carlos slammed frustratedly. “You are taking away my title for what?” he questioned, scowling. “Because I can and because you do not deserve it.” Alpha Blake told him and spun set to match back into his house. “Your daughter!” Carlos yelled. That was enough to have Alpha Blake halting. “Does the lycan king know his wife is fake? That she is your daughter?” Carlos grinned sinisterly. Alpha Blake’s face tightened alongside his fists. “Are you threatening me?” he sneered. “You have been aware, haven't you? Did you tell you daughter to deceive the king?” Carlos mocked. “Let's not do what we'll regret, Alpha Blake. We are still very good friends. I confessed to the king of your crimes…”“What?” Blake sneered. “You still have learned nothing from hanging out with those two?” He shook his head and stormed away. Later, he visited Alpha Dante's house. Alpha Greg was there. As soon as the door was open
The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride THE ANNOUNCEMENT
LIA “Could you pass me the dish over there?” I said to Rick who was closer to the dish of fried chips. Just before he could move, Derrick stretched and got it. It must be great having long limbs. “Here,” he said as he placed the dish before me. “Thanks,” I mumbled, avoiding his gaze as I helped myself to it. I could literally hear the smug on Rick and Damian's face. Derrick new behavior surprised me everyday. Each new day I saw a side of him I never knew existed. He was sweet, kind, considerate and thoughtful. He could even make cute faces. Heaven! He was one step ahead each time there was a bump on my way. He told me he was going to try his best to read me so he could understand my mood changes. Fucking understanding. Holy shit. What else did a woman needed in a man? And he was lover boy. Who'd ever ever believe that? I wanted to stand on the cliff where my voice would echo and reach the towns and different Packs telling them that the cruel wicked lycan king had emotions, and
