The Lycan King's Fated Mate   CHAPTER 23
On the rooftop 🔥🔥🔥"You're really good at this," I said softly, almost in disbelief."I used to help my mom with her hair when Simon and I were still quite young," he admitted quietly, a rare hint of vulnerability in his voice. "It's been a while, though."His revelation made my heart ache a little. It was a reminder that even someone as powerful as Lucas had a past filled with moments of tenderness and family bonds. Thinking about this, I wondered if Simon had such a side to him as well. On second thought, he probably never did. Who was I kidding?He continued brushing my hair, the silence between us comfortable. I could see the concentration in his eyes, the careful way he handled each section of my hair. It was a simple act, but it felt intimate, creating a connection between us that words couldn't.Finally, he finished and handed the brush back to me. "There, all done. How does it feel?"I ran my fingers through my hair, feeling the smoothness and the care he had put into it. "

All smiles 🔥🔥🔥I was extremely stunned by what I had just seen. He had placed his phone to capture the plastic thing the waiter had brought, and it didn't take long before a picture of their menu appeared on his phone.“Whoa, how did you do that?” I asked as soon as he looked closely at his phone to study the menu.“How did I do what?”“The thing you just did. How were you able to get the menu on your phone by placing it on that plastic thing?”“Oh, the QR code scanner. It's just technology, quite advanced, if you're interested.”“Wow, I have read a lot about human technology. They are so smart, but I just can't bring myself to understand how they even come up with these things.” Lucas chuckled a bit, and I smiled in return.“And how have you been reading about all these things, Ashely?”“Oh, when Simon finishes with the magazines, articles, and newspapers he frequently reads, I gather them and read them whenever I'm bored. They honestly help a lot when I'm bored, so I really enjoy

A newfound glow 🔥🔥🔥The drive back home was very pleasant. I didn't know how to express the feeling I had; it was overwhelming."Um, Ashley, you're glowing," Lucas said while we were still upstairs on the restaurant's rooftop, and I blushed deeply at the remark."Aww, thank you," I responded, basking in the compliment."No, I don't mean that as a compliment. I mean, you are actually glowing! Can't you see the bright light emitting from your body?" he said. I pulled away from him to see what he was talking about. I placed my hands in front of me and, indeed, there was a radiant light emitting from them. I looked around and saw people staring in amazement. I gulped nervously."Um, Lucas, what's going on?""I don't know, I'm just as stunned as you are," he responded, clearly surprised."You know what, Ashley, let's just go. You're starting to get even brighter.""Wait, what?""Let's go." We hurried towards the table, and he grabbed his cell phone, signaling our immediate departure. We

What am I missing 🔥🔥🔥When I finally entered the room, I closed the door behind me and took a deep breath. The room felt like a safe haven, a place where I could collect my thoughts and try to make sense of everything. I looked at my reflection in the mirror, the faint glow still visible around me. It was a reminder that whatever was happening, it was real and not just a figment of my imagination.We needed answers, and soon. The royal seer might hold the key to understanding what was happening to me and how to control it. But until then, I had to stay strong and trust that Lucas and Simon would help me navigate this new, uncertain path.I carefully sat down, trying to clear my head, but I couldn't stop thinking about the strange light emanating from my body and the unexpected aggression I had felt. Sure, I never liked Veronica, and yes, I never wanted her in the house or anywhere near Simon and Lucas, but reacting that way? That was something I knew I would not do in my right mind

It hurts! 🔥🔥🔥**Veronica's POV**“What is this about? Are you seriously telling me that you allowed that lowly slave to beat you up?”“Mom, this isn't helping! It's already bad enough that she made me hit my butt really hard. I mean, it hurts so much right now. But please, stop saying it over and over again like that; it's embarrassing.”“Well, you should be embarrassed! Weren't you the one going on and on about her being weak and unable to defend herself? You're way stronger than she is. Why would you let such a weakling defeat you so easily?”“Whoa, Mom, calm down. I don't think you get it. She was extremely strong, and obviously, no one expected that. Even Simon himself was surprised.”“And so? You are of royal blood. You have the strength of a warrior in the blood flowing through your veins, while she is just a lowly entity that doesn't even match up to the standards of the maids we have here in the palace.”“No, Mom. You see, this is exactly where we are all getting it wrong w

It's gone 🔥🔥🔥It had been about two days since the incident during my date with Lucas, and yes, I was still glowing for reasons we couldn't yet decipher. The mansion, an opulent estate nestled amidst rolling hills and lush gardens, was a place of timeless beauty and mystery. The walls were adorned with intricate tapestries, and the floors were covered with rich, plush carpets that muffled the sound of footsteps. The grand chandeliers hanging from the high ceilings bathed everything in a soft, golden glow. This majestic setting only added to the surreal nature of my situation.The number of stares I received in the mansion—from both those present when the incident occurred and those returning from their journeys to connect with their mates—was overwhelming. The sensation was surreal; it felt as if I were walking in a dream, my skin shimmering with an ethereal light that seemed to have a life of its own. Each step I took felt weightless, as if the glow had somehow altered the very fa

Watch your back 🔥🔥🔥“Yes, it just happened! She left my office not too long ago. I was stunned.” There was silence before he continued, “But you seriously need to investigate this further. We can’t tell what it’s really about. She was literally emitting light for two days, and now it just stops? Please, find out more about this. I expect your presence at the mansion this evening, no excuses.” He hung up, leaving me wondering who he had been talking to.I went upstairs to my bedroom, heading straight to the mirror. After two days of not being able to see my reflection, I could finally look at myself without the blinding glow. I smiled warmly, sat down, and began brushing my hair, appreciating the simple pleasure of seeing my reflection.These little things, I realized, were privileges I hadn’t fully appreciated. After such a challenging two-day period, I wanted to savor every moment. I looked at my hands and smiled. The day was still young, so I decided to conserve my energy. Sittin

Mysteries 🔥🔥🔥My heart raced as I listened, trying to piece together the implications of what they were discussing. The grandiosity of the mansion’s decor seemed to mock the simplicity of my life before all this confusion and mystery began. The walls were adorned with elaborate tapestries depicting scenes of myth and legend, their rich colors muted in the flickering light from the fireplace. The ornate mirrors, with their gilded frames, reflected the room's opulence and the dancing flames, adding to the surreal atmosphere. Heavy velvet curtains, a deep crimson, were drawn tightly across the tall, arched windows, shutting out the outside world and making this conversation feel as if it were happening in a separate, almost mythical realm.Lucas's voice cut through my thoughts, bringing me back to the present. “So, what should we do next? We can't just ignore this.”The Seer paused, the silence thick with anticipation, as if the very air were waiting for his words. “For now, it's cruc

The end of the tunnel !!!**Ashley's POV**As I stood by the side, watching my arch-nemesis being taken away, I honestly couldn’t tell what I was feeling at that point. Although this moment had been a highly anticipated one for me, it just didn’t feel right somehow. As soon as the guard announced that her banishment was to begin, I could feel my wolf’s countenance instantly change. I remained motionless where I stood, watching the whole thing unfold. Nobody moved until she was finally out of sight, with the men trailing behind her as she went on her way. I couldn’t shake the feeling I was getting, although a wave of relief washed over me. All this while, I had wanted her downfall—to see her get the punishment she truly deserved. But now that it had happened, I surprisingly didn’t feel as excited as I thought I’d be.“Are you feeling alright?” I heard Simon ask as he placed a hand on my shoulder, and I nodded.“Yeah, I… I just—”“It’s fine, you don’t have to say anything. I can underst

Outplayed....**Veronica’s POV**Right after informing me of the success of the plan, Drago had actually requested that I come over to see things for myself, and as I drove to the arranged meeting point, I couldn’t contain the mix of emotions I felt. It was a strange blend of excitement, adrenaline, and anxiety. Drago had assured me everything had gone according to plan, but amidst the excitement, I couldn’t shake off the nagging feeling in the pit of my stomach. Something didn’t feel right.As I approached the hideout, my phone buzzed again. This time, it was a voice message from Drago.“Greetings, your Highness. I just wanted to let you know that these kids have been crying ever since they were brought here. I don't know what happened exactly, but when I went out to find something for them to eat, one of my men apparently shot one of them, and now he's dead. I'm really sorry, your Highness.” The moment the voice note ended, I had to slam on the brakes because the shock hit me harder

Love and war !!!We made our way back to the mansion quietly, sneaking in before anyone noticed our absence. Even as we slipped back into our normal roles, something between us had changed—strengthened. There was a deeper understanding now, a silent promise that we would stand by each other no matter what came next.What came next was the reckoning we had been preparing for.Later that day, Simon and I gathered in his study with the sole aim of finalizing our next steps regarding Veronica. We knew time was running out. With Fabian already in our custody, Veronica was bound to make a move sooner rather than later. Her desperation would push her into action, and we needed to be ready.“She’s going to crack soon,” Simon said, his voice filled with certainty. “Especially now that we’ve got Fabian. There’s no way she can keep up this facade much longer.”I nodded in agreement. “We just need to keep the pressure on her. Fabian already gave us some leads—now it’s only a matter of time before
The Lycan King's Fated Mate   CHAPTER 105
The hatch **Lucas's POV**Right after the whole thing with Ashley presenting ample evidence against Veronica, although it was hard for us, Simon and I just had to keep to ourselves. Well, at least until we had finally achieved what we wanted, which was actually pretty close to our reach at that point. I never liked Veronica from the start, but this was something I could never see myself believing she committed. It now makes me wonder if she really was the one who killed Mortica as well.As I sat on my bed thinking about all these things, I could feel a knot forming in my head, and I ruffled my hair as I tried relieving myself of the headache. As it stands now, we currently have all the top perpetrators in our custody back at the torture house, and the one person we needed to find is that slimy Fabian. Just as I had mentioned to Ashley a while back, we needed to keep things on the low so that we would easily be able to use Veronica to get to him. After all, the reports we had been get

Surprise, surprise!!!“Yes, yes, that’s right! She seemed very secretive about the whole thing, like she didn’t want anyone to know we’d left or where we went.”“I see,” I responded, finally removing my claws from his thigh. Lyon gasped in relief, but the moment Simon turned his glare toward him, he silenced himself.Simon and I exchanged a knowing look.“Are you thinking what I’m thinking?” Simon asked, his eyes narrowing with suspicion.“Bet,” I replied, a hint of realization dawning on me.Together, we turned our gazes back toward Lyon, who flinched in fear under our combined scrutiny.Simon crossed his arms, his jaw tightening as he addressed Lyon again. “You better hope for your sake that what you’ve said checks out. If we find out you’ve withheld anything, even the smallest detail, you’ll regret ever stepping foot in this mansion.”“I swear, Your Highness, that’s all I know! I told you everything!” Lyon pleaded, desperation evident in his voice.I took a step forward, looming ov

Feel the heat....I stepped forward, towering over him. “You thought you could hide in the shadows, Fabian, but your time is up. We’ve heard everything.”His face paled, and he stammered, “I-I can explain! It wasn’t my idea—Veronica pushed me into this! I was just trying to survive!”“You’ll have plenty of time to explain,” I said coldly. “Take him away.”Fabian’s eyes darted to the exit, but before he could make any sudden moves, our men swiftly blocked the way. He was trapped. The fear in his eyes deepened as he realized there was no escape.Simon crossed his arms. “Let’s make this simple. You come quietly without receiving any beatings, or we drag you out of here with no less than 20 slaps already landed on you.”Fabian hesitated for a moment, but when he saw that resistance was futile, he slumped in defeat. “Fine,” he muttered. “I’ll go.”As we escorted him out of the building, Simon leaned over and whispered in my ear, “Now that we have him, it’s only a matter of time before Vero

A little bit more....The next morning I woke up feeling extremely refreshed and light. For over 6 years I had been wrongly accused and tagged for committing crimes that I knew absolutely nothing about. Even though I did make it a point to act like I didn't care about it, the accusations definitely followed me around like a serious plague all through. Well at least till last night.As soon as I woke up, the first thing that came to mind was everything that had played out the previous night between myself and both Lucas and Simon, and a smile soon appeared on my face “Finally! I'm free” I exclaimed, as I excitedly got out of bed. I went straight into my bathroom to freshen up, and as I went about doing my usual morning routine, I couldn't help but to hum a song happily whilst carrying out every activity I did. “Oh, good morning my queen, you seem happy this morning,” Yasmine greeted warmly, as she peeked into the bathroom where I was busy brushing my teeth. I spat out the mouthwash

Let the real games begin!!!!I took a deep breath, gathering my thoughts. “Because Amira has been helping me gather evidence. We have proof of her dealings with corrupt members of the court and her plans to undermine the council. I’ve been working with Rita to piece everything together, and we’re ready to present it to you.”There was a moment of silence as the two of them processed my words. Lucas finally leaned back in his chair, his expression thoughtful.“If what you’re saying is true, then why didn’t you come to us sooner?” he asked.“As if,” I scoffed. If I had come to them any sooner, they would have dismissed me as quickly as possible. Not to mention the fact that going without concrete evidence could have endangered the little I had managed to gather over that space of time.“If I had come any sooner, would you two have given me a listening ear? That is exactly the question you should be asking right now, not the one you just mentioned. Given that every attempt I made to reve
The Lycan King's Fated Mate   CHAPTER 100
Look back...This wasn’t just an attack on Amira—it was a trap for me. Veronica had suspected something, and now she was using Amira to bait me into revealing myself.I took a deep breath, forcing myself to remain calm. I couldn’t act rashly. If I made the wrong move now, everything we had worked for could be undone. But Amira—she had risked everything for me. I couldn’t just leave her to face this alone.As Veronica presented her so-called “evidence”—a series of forged letters implicating Amira in a conspiracy—my mind raced. I had to think quickly, but I couldn’t act openly in front of the council. I needed to find a way to turn this situation to my advantage.Then, an idea struck me. I stood up slowly, the eyes of the council and Veronica now on me.“Queen Veronica,” I began, my voice steady, “these accusations are indeed serious. But I must question why this alleged plot has only now come to light. Every one of us knows that this lady in question happens to be your most trusted han
