The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride DRUNKS
As Derrick sat in the mini bar in his chamber, memories of that day flooded back. The very first day he’d met Lia. Who knew an intruder would be stirring him up this much, making him hunch in the bar drinking. Something he hadn't done in a long while. He'd kissed her a couple times more but none matched their first kiss. It was a kiss he gave his vigour because he wanted to impress his new bride that he did not love but was only marrying to satisfy his parents. Her boldness had taken him aback in the dungeon. When he suggested she be his bait, he never thought she'd agree to it. He was never going to harm her anyways and was only trying to scare her and find out what she knew. Then she said she was forced to put on the wedding dress. Strangely he believed her words even though he didn't voice it out. Laura may have loved and wanted him but his lack of affection towards her had pushed her to the cliff. He didn't blame her for making the decision she did. What about their second weddi

“Are you alright?” Derrick asked, his arms wrapped around Lia firmly. Lia stared at him and all she wanted that instant was for him to kiss her silly. “Make love to me,” she blurted. Derrick's eyes flew wide. He gaped at her. Her words sounded like one coming from a drunk woman but at the same time he didn't think she was drunk talking. “You are drunk. We can't…”She didn't move. Same as her gaze. “That is what husband and wives do. You said I was your wife and you own me.”He managed to pull himself out of the shock. A sigh left him. Was she still on about their little act from earlier? “Come and I will take you to bed. You are not in your right senses right now–”She flinched back. “Don't try to force me to sleep! I am not drunk. I know what I want…and what I want right now is you.” She went tiptoes and planted a wet kiss on his lips. It was fast he hadn't seen it coming. He was too shocked to respond. Too shocked to move. Just earlier he thought she was different from their gi

LIA I woke up the next day with my entire body feeling knackered. When I opened my eyes, it was strange–the bed I lay in was not the usual one I slept and woke up in. The scent was different. The strangest part–something heavy, like an arm, was laying across my chest. I nearly screamed if not that a memory flashed in my head instantly halting my scream. The memory came in bits and was unclear but I couldn't ignore the realness of it. O stilled and waited for it to replay. That was when I looked and saw Derrick. I froze, because that moment the bits and bits of memories started to merge, leaving the unclear zone and rearing up strongly. And very clear. I gasped, unable to believe what my brain had just revealed. How? Why? Halting the many questions floating through my head which at that moment I couldn't provide the answers, I began to detach myself from Derrick’s arm. The more I detached, the closer he snuggled towards me. Tired, I stopped and my palms held my head. “Lia, what hav

Seeing it was truly Clara knocking as I predicted made me frown. “I told you to take the day off.” “The king is here,” she said.My heart skipped several beats. I panicked. Derrick was here to see me. Why? What? To talk about last night? My mind swirled with many thoughts. “What should I do?” Clara asked again, interrupting my roaming thoughts. Honestly, I wasn't sure if I was ready to face Derrick. I was too embarrassed to face him. “Tell him I’m not home. I stepped out for some air.”“He is aware you are around.”“How?”I don't know but he said “tell my Luna to come out” instead of asking if you were around.”“Well, lie to him then.”I banged the door shut. I felt bad for using Clara like that. My shoulders felt heavy as I dragged myself back to bed. My body no longer felt knackered. However, my wolf had become really nosy and talkative. Sigh. Was this the new side effect for having sex with a man you weren't supposed to do it with? I shut my eyes and drew in a slow breath. I h
Last Updated : 2025-04-09The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride REJECTION STANDS
“I reject your mate bond. I can't be your mate.”These words replayed in Derrick's head for the hundred time. It had only been an hour he left her quarters. He stood up and walked to the wine shelf. As he made to pick out one, he stopped and his thought wandered. Again. He forfeited the wine and returned to his seat. He released a huge sigh and abruptly stood up again. He was furious and he didn't know why. Wasn't it a good thing she refused their mate bond. She was originally never should have been in the same space with him? Why would he be getting affected by her rejection? Also Ethan had gone to pick up Laura whom he was supposed to marry. He could just switch her with Laura and life would go on as if nothing ever happened. But even as he was making those plans internally, he knew that he was lying to himself. Once Lia said those words she had gone back in and shut the door. He'd been speechless to utter a word. What woman wouldn't be happy to be mated to him? Except Lia Smit

“Bring the prisoner out,” Derrick demanded. Alpha Blake was brought out. The guard was about to lead him into the questioning seat but Derrick stopped him. “Let him stand. He does not deserve a seat even in my prison,” he scowled. He ordered everyone to get out, leaving him and Alpha Blake alone. “You killed my mate and unborn pup years ago, did you think I would not find you?” Derrick gritted. Alpha Blake remain unshaken. His hands were tied with chains. His skin was now on the darker shade and he was emaciated. It wasn't that they weren't giving him food. Because he wanted to die quickly, he refused to taste anything he was given. He was worried about Lia. Worried that he'd be tortured to speak the truth and his daughter's life would be ruined. He'd rather die quickly than wait to be tortured. “I did not kill your mate or your unborn pup,” he said. Derrick sneered. “You still lie to my face? Huh!”He gripped his throat furiously. “How about I begin your torture session right n

“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

The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride LAURA IS BACK
“Lia kidnapped? How…when…how…she–” Carlos mumbled, his eyes dancing in shock. Doubting his ears, he rushed to the notice board and had a look. Confirming that Emily and Jimmy had not lied left him limp as he imagined who could have kidnapped Lia right in Derrick's house. “Where are you coming from? You still haven't answered us? You were with Lia and yet you didn't know she was kidnapped,” Jimmy accused. “Who could have kidnapped her? Did you not see or hear anything? If she was in the almighty lycan king's house, how could she have been kidnapped! Don't they have the best security there!”“The exact thing I'm thinking…” Carlos muttered sadly. He just couldn't make sense of the whole thing. Why would anyone kidnap Lia…“I left the king’s house this morning…Lia was…” he paused, not sure to bring up Lia's miscarriage. In the process, sudden thought came over him. What if Lia had been kidnapped somewhere else and not Derrick's house…Anyone that kidnapped her knew she was weak at that
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
