The Lycan King's Fated Mate CHAPTER 81
Crazy options!!!I paced faster, my mind already racing with possibilities. “You’re right. If I can turn the packs against her, the elders might reconsider, or at least hesitate.”“That’s right. And as for Lucas and Simon… keep a close eye on them. They may seem indifferent, but if they truly loved you, they wouldn’t let this happen so easily. Don’t trust them blindly.”Her words were a painful reminder of my vulnerability. Lucas and Simon had been the center of my world for so long, but now it seemed like that world was crumbling. Could I really trust them? Or had they already made their decision to side with Ashley?“I understand,” I whispered, my voice hardening. “I’ll handle this.”“And Veronica,” my mother added, her tone softening slightly, “remember this: power is not given, it’s taken. You’ve fought too hard for your place to let it slip through your fingers now. Do what you must.”With that, the line went dead. I stood there for a moment, staring blankly at the phone in my ha

Alone....I swallowed the bitterness rising in my throat and forced myself to speak, though my voice trembled. "If you go through with this... if you allow them to take everything from me, then I will never forgive you. Any of you."Elder Baron sighed, as though exhausted by my resistance. "We are not taking everything from you, Queen Veronica. You will still hold a place in the royal court, albeit one more suited to the circumstances.""I won't be sidelined!" I spat, rising from my chair. "You think you can just push me aside, that I’ll quietly fade into the background? No. I’ve fought too hard to be where I am. If you believe I’ll accept this without a fight, then you’ve grossly underestimated me."For a moment, a flicker of uncertainty passed through the room. Even the elders, so self-assured moments ago, hesitated. But it was Daniel, the elder who had confronted me earlier, who stepped forward."Queen Veronica," he said, his voice cold and calculating. "You speak of fighting, but

An old friend...As I hung up the phone, a plan began to form in my mind. I couldn’t fight this battle head-on, not yet. Daniel, Elder Baron, the entire council—they were too powerful. But there were others out there, those who had not yet chosen sides, those who still remembered my rule and believed in my vision for the kingdom.I needed allies. I needed to remind them who I was, what I had built, and why I would not simply vanish.The first name that came to mind was Fabian. Although he might have been a pain in the ass a while back, the little warning I gave him by getting Lucas and Simon to look into him should be enough to get him on my side this time. I had been loyal to him, and now it was time for him to return the favor. After all, we had mutual goals and aspirations.I had heard whispers that he had gone into hiding after Lucas and Simon’s thorough investigation. And if I'm being completely honest, I can't really judge him for doing that. It might seem like they’re approacha

Strange...**ASHLEY'S POV**It had been almost a month since we were brought into the house. As soon as I got my phone, I instantly tried to reach George, who weirdly seemed a bit too calm and somewhat unbothered about what was happening.Every time I asked when he was going to come to get us out, he would initially give a specific day, and I would spend the whole time waiting for him. Since I didn’t want Lucas and Simon to suspect my plans for escape, I always packed my things and my children's very discreetly so that when George came to get us, we would be ready to leave on time without being noticed.However, George would end up not coming all day, and to make matters even worse, his phone would be unavailable the entire time, so I couldn’t even reach him to ask why he hadn’t arrived. It would be after a day or two that he’d call to say something came up, before scheduling another day for his visit. This went on for weeks until it finally became a month since we had been brought to
The Lycan King's Fated Mate CHAPTER 85
Training...My mind raced. Although the boys and I had been in the mansion for about a month, Lucas and Simon still hadn't said anything regarding their supposed training. After all, that was the exact reason why they brought us here in the first place. I couldn’t trust them, and they clearly didn’t trust me either, but could I really blame them? Their biggest concern was me sneaking out with the kids, and given the number of escape attempts I had made during our time here, I couldn’t blame them for that.Now that they had finally decided to discuss the children’s future, I didn’t know what to feel. My emotions were all over the place, unpredictable like the gusts of wind that rattled the windows at night. Whatever Lucas and Simon had to say, I had to hear it, but I needed to tread carefully. The danger that clung to them was real—especially after overhearing their lethal plans. Everything seemed to be moving faster than ever, and any wrong move could mean the end for me and my childr
The Lycan King's Fated Mate CHAPTER 86
Feeding off the lies...I placed a hand on each of their shoulders, silently encouraging them to be brave.Lucas stepped forward, his voice commanding as he addressed the boys. “Today is the beginning of your journey. From now on, you’ll learn the skills you need to survive and to lead. Your training will be difficult, but it’s necessary. Do you understand?”Luke nodded solemnly, but Simeon looked up at me, his eyes wide with uncertainty. “Will it hurt?” he whispered.I knelt down to his level, brushing his hair from his forehead. “It’s going to be hard sometimes, but you’re strong. And remember, I’ll be right here with you.”Simeon swallowed and nodded, though his fear was evident. I stood again, forcing myself to stay calm as Lucas led the boys toward the trainers. My heart was pounding, and I felt a strange mixture of pride and dread watching them walk away from me, toward a future that was both unknown and inevitable.---The first few weeks of training were grueling. The boys cam

Dethroned....I woke up early the next morning, my mind still troubled from the conversation with Simon. The accusations, the doubt—it all lingered in the back of my mind like a storm cloud that wouldn’t clear. Lucas and Simon are still blind to Veronica’s manipulation, and there is nothing I can do to change their minds.But I am not powerless. Not anymore.I dressed quickly, pulling on the plain tunic I had worn for the past few weeks since returning to the castle. The corridors were quiet as I made my way through the halls, but I could sense the tension in the air. Everyone knew what today was—Veronica’s day of reckoning. She would face the council for her incompetence in the recent attacks, but I suspected something much deeper was at play.I needed to speak to Lucas. He had been distant, caught up in his duties as not just king, but also in the recent training sessions Luke and Simeon had been undergoing. However, I couldn’t let things continue like this. I wouldn’t let Veronica

Doubts as it should...As I reached my bedroom, I slammed the door shut and paced across the room, my mind racing. **Fabian.** They were getting closer to him, but I had been careful—too careful to let them find a direct link to me. Still, if they did, everything I had built would crumble.I couldn’t let that happen.I needed to get to Fabian first. If I could control the narrative, change a lot of the things happening **before** they caught him, I could turn this whole situation around. But I would need help. I couldn’t afford any mistakes.As I sat down **quietly**, thinking of what I could possibly do, I heard my phone ring, and I quickly reached for it.“Well, speak of the devil,” I said, looking at the telephone number boldly displayed on the screen."Fabian," I hissed, my voice dripping with venom, "well, it's about time you called. We need to talk."His breathing was a bit hitched and somewhat unusual, but I didn't pay much attention to it since I had better things to think abo

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 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

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
