The Lycan King’s Destiny 0026
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

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

Kayla's POVI stared at him, unable to wrap my head around it, someone was playing a sick game and it wasn't funny. “You’re lying,” I accused, the words slipping out before I could stop them. “You have to be.”The King’s eyes narrowed, his face scrunching up in annoyance. “Kayla, I have no reason to lie to you. Why will I send a teddy bear?The man beside him laughed abruptly but then pretended he was coughing, failing miserably to hide his amusement.“Maybe you're the one lying” The King returned, making me blink back in astonishment.“Yes, I can barely walk around these walls, yet somehow, I found the time and money to buy a giant teddy bear and have your staff prepare a dinner so I can accuse you because I have nothing else to do” I uttered sarcastically my hands gesticulating wildly before dropping by my sides.“Show me this teddy bear and letter you’re talking about.” the king said, a ghost of a smile on his lips,I couldn't tell if he was toying with me or he seriously had no cl

Kayla's POVThe night did go terrible after all. Nice going Kayla, you could have just kept quiet. But I couldn't help but wonder, why was the topic so sensitive? Who was she, and why did just the mention of her make him so furious?I pushed the plate away, my appetite gone. I left the dining room and made my way to my bedroom. As I entered my room, I let out a sigh, then I changed out of the dress I’d worn for the dinner.Slipping into bed, I hoped sleep would bring some peace. Sleep didn’t come easily, but eventually, I drifted off, the questions still swirling in my mind.The next morning, sunlight filtered through the curtains, waking me gently. I sat up, rubbing my eyes as I tried to shake off the remnants of the night’s uneasy thoughts. There was a knock at the door, and Azel stepped in, carrying a tray with breakfast.“Good morning,” she said, placing the tray on the small table by the window.“Morning,” I replied, my voice still groggy from sleep.Azel began arranging the dish

KLAUS’ (THE LYCAN KING) POV Kayla Kayla! KAYLA!! I huffed frustrated tossing some papers off my desks, I could swear my head would have exploded if I thought about her any longer, which wasn't doing me any good as I stared at the workload piling at my desk. No one had such a hold on me, I had kept my feelings at bay since… hmph! I sighed, running a frustrated hand through my ruffled hair. How did she manage to break through my defenses? Right from when I set my eyes on her, she had made my dead heart beat again. Was it good or bad? I had no idea. It had been one rollercoaster ride to another since she came by which goes to show how boring my life had become. I felt guilty leaving her alone last night, storming out in a fit of anger that now seemed foolish. I knew I shouldn’t have done it. It wasn’t her fault, after all. My hand hovered over the pen, but I couldn’t bring myself to focus. She must think I was a monster, leaving her like that without so much as a word. With an
