The Lycan King’s Destiny 0023
The Lycan King's POVI could sense someone approaching before I even turned around. My senses were sharp, especially out here, where the sounds of the forest and the flow of the stream usually brought me a rare peace. I turned, my eyes narrowing as I spotted Kayla, I jumped a little not expecting to see her."What are you doing out here?" I asked, my voice coming out sharper than I intended. Did she usually wander? it wasn't safe this late especially in the forest anyone could sneak in unnoticed, Kayla, you're pregnant for goodness sake!She looked startled, like a deer caught in headlights. Her eyes darted around nervously, finally settling on me, or rather, on the fact that I was still naked. Her cheeks flushed, and she stuttered, trying to find her words. "I… I got lost," she finally managed, her voice barely a whisper.I rolled my eyes, more at the situation than at her. "You shouldn't be out here," I said, my tone softening slightly. "It's not safe."Her eyes widened, and she nod

Kayla's POVI almost laughed when Agnes made her comment about a mate’s jealousy, but I swallowed it down, the sound stuck in my throat like a bitter pill. They had no idea. To them, I was just some girl lucky enough to carry the King’s child. They didn’t know the truth, that I was nothing more than a tool, a breeding machine.The idea that I could be his mate seemed ridiculous, he was the King, THE KING!I was nothing but a weak, pathetic, broken spec under Lily's heel. I didn’t even have a wolf. What kind of mate would I be for a King? I was a disappointment, not just to the pack, but to myself. Lily would have been a better match, she was pretty, smart and would most likely know more about the pack affairs. Being with the King was a mistake like she said, if we weren't so drunk, I wouldn't have been in his bed, he wouldn't even look at me if we had met at any other time, it was just my luck.The examiner finally stepped back, nodding to the elders. “She is pregnant,” he said, his

Kayla's POV“Who told you to get dressed?" Lily barked out. I opened my mouth to apologize, to say something, anything, that might diffuse the situation, but the words got stuck in my throat.Lily opened her mouth to speak again but then the King removed his hand from hers then he moved up the stairs gently replacing his hand with Azel's.I looked up at him, startled. His expression was calm, but his eyes held a quiet intensity that made my breath catch. “I want to say you look beautiful but then I would only be describing you plainly"Lily's mouth snapped shut, shock flickering in her eyes. She seemed ready to argue, but the King didn’t give her a chance. "We’re going to the ball together," he added, his tone leaving no room for discussion.I could hardly believe what I was hearing. I looked between the King and Lily, unsure if this was really happening. The tension in the air was thick, and I half expected Lily to lash out again, but she just stood there, her fists clenched at her s

The Lycan King POVSocializing wasn’t my favorite part of these events, but it was necessary. I needed to keep up appearances, especially with the political tensions running so high lately. And with my brother’s unexpected return, those tensions were only increasing.The evening was going smoothly until I noticed something peculiar. As I mingled, shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries, I realized that every conversation seemed to circle back to one topic: Kayla.“She’s stunning,” one of the Alpha said, nodding toward where Kayla was seated.“And who exactly is she?” another member asked, curiosity in his tone. “I’ve never seen you bring anyone before.”“She’s certainly caught everyone’s eye,” another added with a knowing smile. “She doesn’t look like she belongs here.”The comments, though subtle, carried an edge of suspicion. They weren’t used to seeing me with anyone. I’d kept my personal life private for so long that even a whisper of someone new sent ripples through the room. A

Kayla's POV“Ethan, stop,” I whispered, my voice barely audible, even to myself. “I don’t want this. I don’t want you.”He didn’t seem to hear me, or maybe he didn’t care. His hands tightened on my shoulders as he tried to pull me closer, his lips brushing against my cheek, too close to my mouth. I tried to turn my head, but the effort made my dizziness worse.“Please, stop,” I managed to say again, my voice stronger this time, but still shaky. I pushed at his chest with what little strength I had left, but it was like trying to move a wall.Ethan’s persistence didn’t waver. “Kayla, you’re not thinking straight,” he murmured, his voice soft but insistent. “You need to relax, let me take care of you.”“I don’t need you to take care of me,” I said, my frustration growing along with my fear. “Just leave me alone.”He ignored my words, guiding me towards a bench in the garden. My legs felt like they might give out at any moment, and I hated that I had to rely on him to keep me upright. Bu
The Lycan King’s Destiny 0028
Kayla's POVFor the first time since I took that drink I felt sober, the earlier rush now occupied by butterflies, my only regret was how short the kiss was.My heart hadn’t stopped racing since that kiss. It was all I could think about, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t help being restless, glancing at the door every few minutes or jumping at every sound hoping the King would come back, but he never did.Instead, it was Azel who appeared the next morning, carrying a tray of breakfast. Her usual smile seemed a bit too cheerful, and I couldn’t help but feel a pang of disappointment as she set the tray down on the small table by the window.“Good morning, Lady Kayla,” she said, her tone light and pleasant. “Did you sleep well?”I didn’t bother answering the question. The answer was obvious. “Where is he?” I asked instead.Azel paused, her hands stilling over the tray as she carefully arranged the plates. “The King, I'm certain? He had some matters to attend to, I'm guessing th

Kayla's POV“Kayla, are you okay?” The King asked, I nodded, turning around quickly trying to hide how I really felt. He reached out to me, but I stepped away retreating to my room. I knew I shouldn't let the words get to me, but it was hard to push away, I was the laughing stock in other packs- a whore who lured the King. Wow!Reaching my room, I paused for a moment before pushing the door open, I shut the door behind me and leaned against it, taking a deep breath to steady myself.That'll be the last time I had tea with anyone. I couldn't even understand the concept from the little Azel had told me when she was styling my hair. it was mostly drinking from a small cup, eating small snacks and gossiping.There was nothing thrilling about it so I would prefer to stay in my room, I kicked the shoes off my feet realizing I didn't stumble once, I was getting used to the heels.Taking off my dress, I changed into a shirt and sweat pants then folded myself like a sandwich between my bed
The Lycan King’s Destiny 0030
Kayla's POVWith a heavy heart, I stood up, my hands trembling as I pushed the chair back. I didn’t understand what had happened. Why would he invite me and then not show up?I knew it was too good to be true. Yet, as I walked back to my room, anger bubbled up inside me. I didn’t ask for any of this. I didn’t ask for the gifts or the invitation to a dinner that never happened. Why would he, out of the “blue” invite me for dinner? I rubbed my temples, feeling a migraine coming on.He had set a date and then not showed up? He didn’t even have the decency to send a guard with a message. It felt like a cruel joke.I stormed out of the dinner room, the more I thought about it, the angrier I became. I had been perfectly fine sitting in my room, keeping to myself, but now, thanks to him, I was a mess of emotions.As I turned a corner, I saw him and I froze… There he was my knight in shining armor walking down the hall like nothing had happened.He looked at me, his posture relaxed, hands cla
