The Dark Forest is a place of whispers and nightmares, where few dare to tread—and even fewer survive. For Silas, the feared and unyielding Lykan King, it is just another hunting ground. But on a night when the air is thick with the scent of blood and fear, he finds her. A defiant, breathless beauty running for her life, chased by werewolves bent on her destruction. Silas doesn’t ask who she is or why they want her dead. All he knows is that she’s his. From the moment their eyes meet in the shadows, something ancient and primal takes root in his soul. He will protect her at any cost, even as she fights to escape his grasp. But she’s not just fleeing her pursuers—she’s running from a force far darker, a nightmare that even Silas’s strength may not be enough to face. And as her secrets slowly unravel, so does his iron will. He becomes consumed, his obsession burning hotter with every moment she remains just out of reach. Danger closes in from all sides, and enemies from his past rise to claim what they believe is theirs. But Silas doesn’t share. She is his mate, his salvation, and his greatest weakness. To protect her, he’ll risk his kingdom, his life, and the savage beast that roars within him. Because in the end, no one escapes the Lykan King—not even the one he would die to save.

I lost my brother, lost a part of myself in the process—but the one thing I won’t lose is her.She’s mine.Fate chose her for me. She was meant to be by my side, to fill the emptiness that’s been clawing at me since Silas and I parted ways. But now, he dares to take the only thing that could make me whole again?No.I won’t let that happen.Not this time.NAIAAfter I was all fed up, Silas kept me at the table. He said he wanted to talk to me."Why can't we go to that special place now?" I complained, shifting in my seat, my fingers drumming against the wood.His gaze darkened slightly, serious and unwavering. "It's important. I need you to tell me everything you know about the king who was at your pack."The sudden change in tone made my wolf, Kyra, stir inside me."It seems you need to get serious," she warned.I nodded mentally and met Silas’s eyes. "I don’t know anything about
KAIUSBy the time we entered the gates of the Western Territory, my mind had run through every possible scenario. Battles won, kingdoms divided, blood spilled—all the ways this could have ended. But no matter how many times I replayed the past, there was one undeniable truth.I always won.It had always been that way. No matter how much my brother fought, no matter how hard he trained, I was always one step ahead. I wasn’t just stronger—I was determined. I had the will to win, the good reasons. And in the end, that made all the difference. I knew our mother would be devastated by what had become of us. Two brothers, two kings, now ruling separate lands.She had dreamed of us standing side by side, ruling together, bonded not only by blood but by trust. If she had been there—if she had seen the way Silas abandoned me, the way he let his own greed consume him—maybe she would have understood why I had no choice but to propose our separation. Maybe she would have seen that this was the o
KING KAIUSKING KAIUSI watch as my mate disappears through the open gate, slipping into the night with reckless determination. A smirk tugs at my lips—she’s fast. Smart, too. But she doesn’t know what’s waiting beyond these walls.The amusement fades, leaving only the sharp edge of unease. The world outside isn’t safe, not for someone like her.I step forward slowly, my gaze sweeping over the warriors standing frozen in place. None of them moved to stop her. None of them even tried.Cowards.Not that I expected better. The Eclipse Hollow Pack is full of them, and their Alpha? He’s worse. A man who would sell his own sister for power."Pathetic," Kael, my wolf, growls. "How does someone like that even lead?"I don’t answer. I just wait by the gate, expecting Duncan—at the very least—to drag her back. He knows better than to come back empty-handed."My King!"I turn my head slightly, finding Lorein standing a few feet away. Luke’s mate.She hesitates before speaking. "I thought you mig
NAIAAfter some minutes of sitting in bed, a knock came at the door.I stood up and went to the huge living room, opening it.A lady dressed in elegant, finely crafted garments stood there, her posture straight and dignified. Beside her was a young girl holding a platter, her eyes cast down with quiet respect."Luna Naia," the lady greeted with a wide, respectful smile."Luna Naia? Sounds good," I told my wolf, feeling her nod in agreement. There was something about the title that felt both empowering and unfamiliar, like the weight of royalty settled upon my shoulders for the first time."Good morning," I greeted them both, forcing myself not to bow my head as the lady had done. I reminded myself that she had called me Luna, a reminder that I was of a higher rank now, no longer simply Naia.The lady smiled warmly. "I am the head of the Royal Mansion," she introduced herself, "The king requested that I take measurements for your clothes."I nodded, gesturing for them to enter. "Please
NAIA"Where are you going?" I asked, my voice thick with curiosity as I watched Silas retreat toward the door.He paused, turning to face me with a knowing look. "I thought you might like some privacy," he said, his gaze flicking to my almost bare body.I raised an eyebrow and nodded, not giving away the wave of emotions swirling inside me. "Fair enough," I replied coolly, turning away from him and facing the wardrobe. The words hung in the air, laced with the unspoken tension between us."I’ll head to the mall to grab some clothes for you," Silas continued, stepping closer, his voice softening as he drew near. "And a phone. Until then, you can use the one by the bed." He paused for a moment, his eyes scanning my form before lingering a beat too long.Not that I minded.He took a step closer, then pulled me against his chest, the heat of his body seeping into mine. His lips brushed my hair in a lingering kiss, a gesture that made my heart race, but I didn’t show it. I only tilted my h
SILASShe tilts her head, her lips curving into a sly smile as she finally finds her voice. “Why? You planning on avenging me, Lycan King?” she teases, the title rolling off her tongue with a playful lilt. I smirk, stepping closer until there’s barely any space between us, the scent of jasmine and honey intoxicating me in ways I didn’t think were possible.“Maybe I am,” I reply, my fingers brushing along her jawline, making her shiver. Her eyes narrow, her confidence blooming as she takes a step back, as if to keep me on my toes. “And what if I told you I handled it myself?” she challenges, crossing her arms over her chest, the towel slipping slightly but somehow holding firm. Her movements are as bold as her words, but the faint blush on her cheeks gives her away.I grin, closing the space between us again, cornering her against the wardrobe with deliberate ease. “Then I’d say my mate is as dangerous as she is beautiful,” I quip, leaning in just enough to see the pink deepen on her f
SILASI head to my suite, my mind tangled with thoughts of my mate, the Eclipse Hollow Pack, and the dangers that may follow her here. As I push open the door, the heaviness in my chest eases slightly.The living room is empty, quiet save for the faint rustle of fabric coming from my bedroom. My senses sharpen instantly, picking up the sweet scent of wild honey and night-blooming jasmine—the scent of her.I step inside quietly, my curiosity peaked, and the sight before me makes my breath hitch.There she is. The most beautiful woman I’ve ever laid eyes on, wrapped in one of my towels, her damp hair cascading down her back. She’s standing in front of my wardrobe, inspecting my clothes with the utmost focus.“This might be it,” she mutters softly, pulling out a black shirt from the hanger. The sight of her handling my things so casually tugs at something primal within me.Leaning in the doorway, I watch her with a faint smile as she pulls out a pair of shorts, much too large for her lea
SILASI placed Naia in my bed hours ago, her small frame curling into the warmth of the blankets as she drifted off. Watching her sleep had been a battle of restraint; my Lycan, Thal, wanted nothing more than to stay, to hold her close and revel in the mate bond. But duty called, and I left her to meet with Gamma Ben and Beta Carl in my office.“So, tell me,” I urge them, setting down glasses of bourbon on the small table between us. The alcohol barely registers on my senses, but it’s more about the ritual than the drink.Ben leans forward, his expression grim. “In the deeper part of the forest, there are two packs. I went to both in secret and found something interesting. Apparently, your brother has been visiting one of them.”“Eclipse Hollow,” Carl adds. “And guess what? The Alpha there isn’t just any Alpha. He’s our Luna’s brother. And from what I’ve gathered, he’s been mistreating her for her entire life.”The room falls silent, the words settling heavily in the air. My grip tigh
NAIAThe Lycan sir, tugs me behind him in a protective stance, and my heart swells with something unnameable but undeniably warm.Admiration? Awe? For someone I met mere minutes ago?His grip on my shoulder eases, and he gently pushes me forward. I glance back at him, my brows furrowed in confusion.“It’s my beta, love. No worries,” he says, flashing me a smile so devastatingly charming it almost makes me forget the situation.Love?My cheeks heat as my wolf, Kyra, howls in delight.“I’m his love!” I whisper to her over our bond, and she purrs in response.SILASCarl appears, his footsteps halting abruptly when he catches sight of Naia at my side. His eyes widen, and he rubs them as though to confirm he’s not seeing things.“She’s real,” I tell him through the link, my voice brimming with pride.Carl’s gaze flicks between Naia and me before he speaks through the link. “Your mate?”“My mate!” I confirm with a booming growl that leaves no room for doubt.Carl’s expression softens, his l
NAIAI grunt aloud at the ridiculous request my brother—also the Alpha—just made."What was that?" Lorein, his mate, asks, stepping forward to slap me. I close my eyes, preparing for the impact, but it never comes."I said no bruises. She needs to be well and ready for the King." Luke stops, his tone final.What King? Is he going to sell me?I swallow, my voice cracking with disbelief. "What King?" It's not fear in my voice—at least, not yet. But I’d rather be dead than show even an ounce of fear to my asshole of a brother or his idiotic mate."You know, you really make it hard not to slap you, sissy," Luke sneers, and I roll my eyes, utterly disgusted."Just go and clean the damn toilets in the assembly room," Lorein orders, dismissing me with a wave of her hand.I turn and head to the assembly room, clutching the toothbrush she gave me to clean the toilet.I don’t even get paid for this.As I scrub away in the grimy space, the sound of voices entering the room catches my attention. ...
