Rosalee's Point of View

The air in Jensen’s office feels heavy with unspoken thoughts as we sit together, discussing the next steps. Marcel leans forward in his chair, his gaze locking onto Jensen as he speaks.

"I’m going back to my pack to assess the damages in daylight, so I can start forming a plan on how best to rebuild."

Jensen nods his head, his expression serious and understanding. "I’ll go with you and see how I can help."

A look of gratitude flickers across Marcel’s face before he turns to Piper, his tone softer now. "Do you want to come or stay here?"

Piper shakes her head, resting a gentle hand on her belly. "No, I think I should stay here. Maybe go see a doctor just to be sure."

Marcel’s features soften instantly, concern flashing in his eyes as he nods his head. "Of course. Do you want me to go with you?"

Piper offers him a small, reassuring smile. "No, you go rebuild our home so we have something to take our son back to. I've got this."

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Chapter 65

    Rosalee's Point of View Lunch is filled with warmth, the kind I haven’t felt in a long time. The sound of soft laughter and lighthearted conversation surrounds me, creating an atmosphere that is oddly comforting. Piper and Natalie do most of the talking, the words flowing effortlessly between them. They talk about anything and everything, how good the food is, the upcoming alliance meeting, and even a bit about Natalie’s work. "I swear, sometimes the paperwork around here is worse than a battlefield," Natalie says with a dramatic sigh, rolling her eyes playfully. Piper chuckles, shaking her head. "At least you get to sit down while doing it. I’d take that over morning sickness any day." "Okay, you win," Natalie concedes, raising her hands in surrender. "I’d rather drown in reports than be sick all the time." Josh and I mostly listen, occasionally adding our own thoughts. "You think paperwork is bad now?" Josh chimes in with a smirk. "Wait until the alliance is formed, Jen

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Chaoter 66

    Jensen's Point of View The scent of ash and burnt wood lingers in the air as Marcel and I walk through what remains of the Nightshade Pack’s land. The ground beneath us is littered with charred debris, broken beams, scorched bricks, remnants of lives that once thrived here. The destruction is absolute. As I survey the ruins, a single thought gnaws at me: this alliance meeting can't come soon enough. We need to put a stop to Crimsonclaw before it’s too late. Before more packs suffer the same fate. Marcel’s voice pulls me from my grim thoughts. His tone is steady, but there’s an undeniable weight behind his words. "I think it would be better just to tear down the packhouse and rebuild from nothing than to try and fix this." I glance over at him as he kicks at a piece of charred wood, watching as it crumbles into dust. He’s right. There’s no saving this structure. I nod my head in agreement. "Yes, that would be easier. You and your pack are welcome to stay at Dark Moon for a

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Chapter 67

    Rosalee's Point of View As Jensen and I walk back towards the house, guilt gnaws at me. I never meant for Josh to worry, it wasn’t my intention to run off without explaining myself. I just needed some space. I needed to breathe, to run. But now, with the cool night air brushing against my skin and my heart no longer racing, I regret not reassuring him sooner. The porch light casts a warm glow, illuminating the front of the house as we approach. Josh stands there, his posture straightening the moment his eyes land on me. His expression is a mix of relief and quiet concern, though he says nothing at first. I offer him a small, apologetic smile, my voice gentle as I say, "I’m sorry, Josh. I didn’t mean to worry you. I just… needed to run, to clear my mind." Josh studies me for a moment, then gives a small nod of his head, his shoulders relaxing just slightly. Before he can say anything, Jensen speaks up beside me. "Thank you, Josh. You can take off for the night, I’ve got it fro

    Jensen's Point of View As I stir awake, a rare excitement hums through my veins. Last night, Rosalee and I truly connected for the first time, a shift in the air between us, a step forward. I can feel it. She’s finally letting me in, and I won’t let this opportunity go to waste. With that thought, I immediately reach out through the pack’s mind link. "Morning, Ronan. I’m taking the day off to spend with Rosalee. If anything important comes up, let me know." His response is almost instant. "On it, Alpha." Next, I reach out to Josh. "Hi, Josh. Just letting you know you don’t need to shadow Rosalee today." "Thank you, Alpha," he replies without hesitation. One last thing. I connect with Nyx. "Morning, Nyx. Rosalee won’t be training today. You can continue with her sessions tomorrow." Nyx’s answer comes just as fast. "Sure. Her muscles could use a day of rest anyway." With everything handled, I push back the covers and get out of bed, already looking forward to the day ah

    Rosalee's Point of View As we step into the lake, hand in hand, I brace myself for the shock of cold water, expecting the usual chill that comes with stepping into a natural body of water. But to my surprise, the temperature is perfect, cool enough to be refreshing but warm enough to feel like a gentle embrace against my skin. I turn to Jensen, curiosity flickering in my eyes. “How did you know the water wouldn’t be cold?” He shrugs nonchalantly, his dark brown hair catching the sunlight in reddish streaks. “It just always is the perfect temperature.” I frown slightly, tilting my head. “Haven’t you ever wondered why?” A smirk tugs at his lips, and I already know he’s about to say something teasing. “Well, there’s this legend in my pack that this lake’s water is infused with magic.” I let out a small chuckle at that, the idea sounding almost too whimsical. Jensen’s smirk fades into a playful frown. “What? Lycans, werewolves, and even hybrids can exist, but you draw the lin

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Chapter 70

    Jensen's Point of View The tension in the room is thick as we go over the last minute details, everyone keenly aware of how crucial today’s alliance meeting is. The air hums with silent anticipation as I scan the faces of the warriors standing before me. "Are you clear on where you will be stationed for the meeting? I want everyone in sight so they don’t feel ambushed." My voice is steady, firm. Josh and the four other men nod their heads in unison, their expressions resolute. They understand the importance of making the werewolf packs feel safe enough to even consider working with us. I turn my attention to Marcel and Piper. “I want you standing with us. I know you’re only here to testify to Crimsonclaw’s cruelty, but I don’t want any surprises.” Marcel nods his head without hesitation, his voice carrying the weight of experience. “Understood. This meeting is too important to let it go sideways because of a misunderstanding.” With the plan set, we make our way outside to t

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Chapter 71

    Jensen's Point of View I take a steadying breath, my gaze sweeping across the alphas gathered around me. The weight of their stares press against me, a mixture of skepticism, curiosity, and a deep rooted distrust. The tension in the clearing is thick, but I push forward. "I know how all of you feel about Lycans," I begin, my voice firm yet measured. "But now is not the time to let old grudges dictate our future. This threat is bigger than all of us. Crimsonclaw is growing bolder, more ruthless with each attack. They started by attacking Lycan packs unprovoked, small strikes at first, taking just enough lives to weaken them without drawing too much attention." I pause, letting the words settle, watching their reactions. Some remain impassive, but others shift slightly, their interest piqued. I glance toward Marcel, gesturing towards him as I continue. "A few days ago, they took it a step further. They attacked Alpha Marcel’s pack and wiped out nearly half of his people. Innocent

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Chapter 72

    Rosalee's Point of View The walk back to the SUVs is quiet, the weight of the meeting still lingering in the air. The only sound is the rustling of leaves beneath our feet and the distant call of birds in the trees. The meeting had gone better than expected, but the tension hasn’t fully lifted. Once we climb into the SUV, Jensen takes the driver’s seat, Marcel settles into the front passenger side, while Piper and I slide into the back. The familiar hum of the engine rumbles to life as Jensen starts the car, and we begin the long drive back to the pack’s territory. For a while, no one speaks. The road ahead of us stretches out, winding through the dense forest, the sunlight filtering through the trees in streaks of gold. I rest my head against the cool glass of the window, watching as the trees blur past in shades of deep green and earthy brown. Marcel is the first one to break the silence. “Well, that went a lot better than I expected it too.” Jensen lets out a small chuck

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Chapter 98

    Jensen's Point of View Two weeks later. I sit behind my desk, elbows resting on the smooth surface, hands steepled in front of me as I stare blankly at the stack of papers that haven’t moved in hours. The sun filters through the office windows, casting golden lines across the floor, but even that warmth doesn’t ease the tight knot in my chest. It’s been two weeks since the alliance agreement was signed. Two weeks of stillness. No information leaks. No attacks. No whispers in the wind. On the surface, everything appears calm... too calm. I know better than to trust this peace. It feels like the inhale before the scream. Like the pressure building in the earth before it splits open. The calm before the storm. And deep down, I know, when Crimsonclaw resurfaces, it won’t be like before. It’ll be worse. A full-scale reckoning. My instincts have never failed me before, and they’re screaming now. I close my eyes for a beat and open a mind link. "Nyx, Ronan, please come to my offi

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Chapter 97

    Freya's Point of ViewThe moment I hear Rosalee say the word cameras, my stomach drops.Cameras.The entire attack was caught on tape.I don’t hear another word she says. My pulse spikes and my vision narrows with rage. Without thinking, I take my phone and hurl it across the room. It smashes against the wall with a violent crack, splintering to the ground in useless pieces. The sound it makes is deeply unsatisfying. I clench and unclech my fists, my jaw tight.“Great… just great, why didn't I think of that,” I mutter through gritted teeth, pacing the floor now, trying to rein in the storm building up in my chest.The door swings open, and Ravena steps inside. She looks around the room and her brows pull together as she takes in the shattered remains of my phone on the floor. “What’s wrong?”I turn towards her, barely containing the frustration vibrating through me. “Rosalee just called. Apparently, Shadow Vale had cameras... cameras Ravena, installed all over their pack grounds. The

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Chapter 96

    Rosalee's Point of View As Josh and I step into the pack house, the hum of conversation and the comforting scent of home surrounds us. I glance over at him just in time to see his eyes glaze over briefly, the telltale sign of a mind link. When his eyes return to normal, he offers me a small smile. “Piper is in the dining hall,” he says. I smile back, grateful. “Thank you.” We make our way through the familiar halls until the wide double doors of the dining hall come into view. I’m about to thank Josh again when he cuts me off gently, clearly reading my intention. “I’m going to go shower,” he says with an easy shrug. “But if you need me, just ask anyone to mind link me.” I nod my head with a grateful look, and with that, we go our separate ways. As I step into the dining hall, my eyes immediately find Piper. She’s at a table near the far wall, the soft afternoon light pooling around her like a warm halo. She looks relaxed, her hands resting on her belly as she gazes down

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Chapter 95

    Rosalee's Point of ViewAs Josh and I walk back to the house after training ended, the silence between us is heavy but not uncomfortable. Still, I can feel a tight knot in my stomach, growing with every step we take. I know what I have to do, and the thought of it makes my fingers twitch and my heart race.As we near the front door, I turn to him and say, “I just want to grab a quick shower and then I want to go and find Piper.”Josh nods his head easily, his expression unreadable. “I’ll be waiting. Take your time.”“Thank you.” I give him a small, distracted smile before slipping into the house.The moment the door closes behind me, I don’t head for the shower like I said. I go straight to my room. I can’t put this off anymore. If I wait, if I let doubt creep in, I might never go through with it. And I need to go through with it.I grab my phone off the nightstand, my hands already trembling as I dial Freya’s number. My feet carry me in slow, restless circles around the room, pacing

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Chapter 94

    Rosalee's Point of View Jensen and I are still sitting across from each other at the kitchen table, the warmth from breakfast lingering between us like a quiet comfort. Our plates are mostly cleared, just a few crumbs of pancake and the faint scent of coffee hanging in the air. The morning light filters in soft and golden, and for the first time in what feels like forever, I don’t feel the weight of secrets pressing on my chest. At first, when he started asking about Crimsonclaw, the leak, and Shadow Vale, I felt that old familiar knot of fear tightening in my stomach, afraid that maybe he suspected me. But as we talked, that fear started to dissolve. He wasn’t accusing, he was reaching out, needing someone to talk to. And the fact that he chose me… it means more than I can put into words. Now, I feel like it’s time to give something back. Trust for trust. I’ll call Freya later today and tell her I’m done. No more spying. I’ve found something here that I don’t want to lose, a place

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Chapter 93

    Jensen's Point of View I stir awake, a soft breath leaving my lungs as I blink against the morning light filtering through the window. For the first time in what feels like days, I feel... grounded. Not entirely at ease, but focused. Yesterday, the alliance agreement was signed. The plan to root out the mole is in motion. And today... today, I’ll cross one more name off the list. I’ll talk to Rosalee. With that goal settling like a quiet resolve in my chest, I throw back the covers and swing my legs over the side of the bed. The floor is cool beneath my feet as I rise and stretch, working out the stiffness in my shoulders. My steps are purposeful as I walk to the closet and grab something simple to wear, dark jeans and a fitted charcoal t-shirt. Comfortable, clean, unassuming. Today’s not about appearances. Once dressed, I take a moment to run my fingers through my hair, smoothing it back before I open my bedroom door and head down the hall. The house is quiet, the kind of silence

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Chapter 92

    Jensen's Point of View The fresh night air feels grounding as Rosalee and I walk side by side, leaving the hall and all the tension behind us. The stars are out, scattered across the sky, and the cool breeze is a welcome relief from the stuffiness of the signing. I feel lighter now that it's over, one major task off my shoulders, but there's a heaviness that settles just beneath the surface, pressing into me with every quiet step. Rosalee walks beside me, her arms relaxed at her sides, her face soft in the moonlight. She seems... happy. At ease. There’s no trace of the weight I carry visible in her expression, and for a moment, I envy that kind of calm. I want to believe this peace is real. That she’s exactly who she seems to be, gentle, curious, and trying to find her place here. But my thoughts twist back to Nyx’s words, and Ronan’s warning. Nyx doesn’t throw out suspicions lightly. Her instincts are sharp, honed over years of dealing with situations others would miss entirely.

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Chapter 91

    Rosalee's Point of ViewI wander aimlessly through the house after having lunch with Jensen, my fingers trailing along the edge of the walls and furniture. I’ve tried reading one of his books again, something to quiet the noise in my mind, but the words keep blurring together. My thoughts are too loud, too restless. I consider calling Freya, but what would I even say to her? There’s nothing new to share, nothing she doesn’t already know about.With a sigh, I find myself drawn to Jensen’s home office. The space smells like cedar and old paper, a now familiar, welcoming smell. I slip into his chair behind the desk. The leather feels cool beneath my fingers. My eyes wander and I spot some blank paper and pencils nearby. Without much thought, I pick one up and begin to sketch.At first, it’s just random lines, soft, swirling shapes, but soon it becomes more intentional. I let the pencil move on its own, trying to capture this tight feeling in my chest, the sense of being watched and quest

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate   Chapter 90

    Jensen's Point of View The door clicks shut behind the last person I had to question, and I let out a long, frustrated sigh as I lean back in my chair. That was everyone. Every Alpha, every Beta, every representative from the alliance meeting. And none of them, none, gave even a hint that they could be the mole. Either I’ve spoken to the world’s most talented liar, or… it’s someone else entirely. Someone I’ve overlooked. Someone hiding in the shadows. The thought gnaws at me, and I sit up straighter, reaching out through the Alpha’s mind link. "Marcel, can you please meet me in my office?" "Sure. I just entered your pack lands again. I’ll be there soon." I cut the link and sit in the silence, my turning over every interaction, every detail. Nothing adds up. A few minutes pass before there’s a knock at the door. “Come in,” I call. Marcel steps inside with a slight smile, but it fades quickly as his eyes lock onto mine. His brows knit with concern. “Is everything okay?”
