The Lycan King's Scarred Mate Chapter 17: Wanting Her Mark
-Jackson- I could see where Daphne was coming from. It was not that I didn’t understand her concerns or fears, or that I didn’t get the power her family had. But I was head over heels for her. I couldn’t get her out of my head, so trying to imagine a future without her was simply not possible, and I believed we could do the impossible. Hadn’t Ana and Roman? I knew he was king, so it did change something, but they would have our backs. I knew that. It was an interesting point Daphne brought up. How her family would get their revenge not through fighting or killing, but through rumors and poisonous words. That changed something. It made me think even more about what there was to lose for both of us. I had really not thought this through, had I? “I can sense that changed something,” she whispered. “I still want you.” Neither of us were looking at each other, though. “And I want you.” “But you’re right. The thought is scary.” I turned to her again, but she was only glancing at me as

-Daphne- Jackson’s words surprised me so much. I couldn’t make sense of them first. How could a marking help anything? That would only make my family so angry. They would definitely want revenge if I came back mark and mated to someone they didn’t approve of and then everything I feared would definitely happen. But then Jackson explained what he meant and slowly I began seeing where he was going. I couldn’t say I completely agreed though, but I could see where he was coming from. “Jackson…” I began. “Consider it.” “But it wouldn’t be right,” I whispered. “What do you mean?” “I mean, you would be forced to stay bound to me. Feelings can still change. You could still get angry with me, and where would we stand then?” I asked. “But it would be different.” “No, you would hate me.” “Daphne, I could never hate you.” “No, listen to me.” I grabbed his hands, holding onto them, and a smile spread across both our lips because we couldn’t help it. We were still mates, and we desired on

-Daphne- Jackson didn’t come back. Not even when it grew dark. I sat up and looked around the room. It felt wrong without him there. I understood why. We were mates and now I would need him around me all the time. Even my wolf had shut me out, saying I needed to think hard about this, and I was beginning to. I was thinking more and more about what Jackson suggested, and I could see why it might work. It might also make my family burn the world to the ground, but we could come out as victors if we truly wanted to. I was just scared out of my mind, but I had to overcome those fears if I wanted the sweet prize at the end. I just hoped Jackson would come back soon. Just as I had thought it, he entered, and I looked at him, surprised. He turned to me, only glancing at me before he went to shower. Go out there! “In the shower?” I whispered. Yes! my wolf pressed. You know what you have to do. Follow his plan. “Follow his plan,” I mumbled to myself. Was I really doing it? Before I knew i

-Jackson- I woke up feeling better than I had in a very fucking long time. Daphne was practically sleeping on top of me, and she was the most amazing sight to wake up to. I had been so pissed when I thought she wanted to go back and leave me once again, but when I came back, it was clear that she had had some time to think and had changed her mind. She wanted to be mine, and I had made her mine. We had marked and mated, and now no one could pull us from each other. I began lazily playing with her hair. My cock was rock hard again, wanting to be deep inside my little mate, but I had enjoyed her body all night. I would let her rest a little now. Daphne stirred slowly, blinking open her eyes and smiling at me so sweetly. “Morning,” she whispered. “Morning.” I leaned closer and kissed her, and she sighed contently. “Goddess, I love waking up to you,” I told her. She blushed so sweetly, and this time came to me, kissing me harder, more passionately. I groaned as she pulled away, but t

-Daphne- Jackson and I took a shower after having mated all morning, then we went downstairs to eat. This time, there was a much more relaxed and happy energy around us as we shared the meal. He couldn’t stop touching me all the time. It was even worse now that we had marked each other, not that I minded. I enjoyed the attention he was giving me. I had not received something like this before. While Roman was my best friend, and he had always been ready to be there for me, sometimes just to listen and other times to help me, but he had never done such things for me like Jackson did. He had never been as attentive. He had been a friend, while I had wanted this. Romance, attention, care, a possessive mate even. I did not mind that Jackson grew a little crazy for me. It was quite nice, actually. It showed how much he wanted me, and I was certainly not complaining. “How do you think your parents will feel?” I asked as I sat on his lap and we were just relaxing after eating some food. “Hm

-Daphne- Even though our little paradise was great, Jackson and I couldn’t figure out if this truly would work before we went back to our world and face the monsters waiting there. Or maybe it was me who had monsters to face, but as my mate, Jackson would stand by my side and hopefully it would help me remain strong enough to defeat them. “How are you feeling?” Jackson felt as I got my jacket on. “Nervous. Scared. Like I might throw up,” I confessed. He let out a low whistle before we both chuckled. “That’s a lot of feelings,” he said. “A lot,” I agreed. He stepped closer to me, wrapping his arms around me, and smiled at me. I felt better when he held me. It calmed me that he kept me close. “You got this,” he said. “You always have such strong beliefs.” “I believe in us. Is that bad?” “No, not at all, but in me? Yeah.” “Stop looking down on yourself, Daphne. What the hell did your family do to you?” “Told me everything I did wrong all the time,” I confessed to him. “All t
Last Updated : 2023-07-09The Lycan King's Scarred Mate Chapter 23: Going Back
-Jackson- Daphne wasn’t the only one worried. Of course, I was too. I wasn’t going to lie. The things she had warned me about did trouble me, and we were both silent as we drove back to my place. I would make sure she was all set up, relaxed, and ready to face her family. Then she could call them and we would figure out the rest from there. I just needed her to feel secure somewhere. That she wasn’t standing alone, then she might be able to face these people. It did worry me though what she had told me about them and how they had raised her. It was clearly not from love, and the things they had told her still scarred her. How could a parent only focus on the negative and never the good? It didn’t fuel a child. It only hurt them. “You okay?” I asked as we neared my home. I reached out and took her hand. She turned to me. “Still nervous.” “That’s okay. I am too,” I admitted. She smiled a little, then squeezed my hand. I parked in front of the house, and we both walked out before I

-Daphne- I had expected little openness or kindness, not just from Jackson’s parents, but also his pack. After getting some clothes and stuff ready for me in his room, we went down to eat some breakfast with the rest. We had not eaten yet, since we wanted the confrontation over with as fast as possible, but I barely saw it as a confrontation. It had gone so smoothly with his parents, and that surprised me. I knew they would probably be more acceptive of me and Jackson, but this was something else. This was love and family, I noticed. I couldn’t help but smile as I watched the happiness around. It made me feel good to sit among, and many people had questions for me too, making me feel welcome and hopeful. Maybe I didn’t have to be so scared to be alone. Maybe I could find people who truly had my back. Jackson held my hand through it all, making me feel very secure and safe. It did not scare me sitting there or felt uncomfortable. I felt good. Had I ever had dinners like this before? I

The Lycan King's Scarred Mate Epilogue
-Daphne- Two years later. “Jackson?” I walked into my mate’s office. Often we would sit there together, but I had woken up later today. He lifted his head and smiled at me as he saw me enter. “Hey,” he said, his smile growing the closer I came to him. I walked around the desk and smiled playfully. He tried to reach for me to pull me closer, but I moved away and he looked puzzled. “Can’t I touch you now?” he chuckled. “Not yet.” “Oh, are we playing?” “Yup, my own little special game.” “Is that the game where you tease the hell out of me with your mouth and tongue?” he asked. “No.” “Where you strip and make me go crazy?” “No.” “I am getting confused now,” he said, making me chuckle. “What kind of game are we playing?” “A guessing game.” “Okay,” he said. “Is there a prize for me to win?” He smiled mischievously, and I nodded. “I am all in then.” “Tell me the first thing that comes to mind when I say a word,” I told him. “Okay.” “House.” “A home,” he said. “Love.” “
The Lycan King's Scarred Mate Chapter 38: Their New Life
-Jackson- Daphne had her fears, but after I recovered and her parents received a proper sentence locking them away for years, Daphne stepped up to the role of luna. I had never seen her flourish more. It was like this hidden side of her had been slumbering, waiting to come out and show what she could truly do. We gave her members a choice, but almost everyone wanted to rather be merged than be on their own. She and those who wanted moved to our territory, but she still owned the former land and house her parents had, and told anyone who wanted to stay could, but they would still be under both our controls. It was going great between us, and I watched from afar as my mate was coming back from a late run. We were both so busy we barely had time to truly enjoy being together. My dad was stepping down, and I was becoming alpha more and more until I would receive all the control from him. Daphne smiled as she saw me coming up onto the porch and I pulled her closer and kissed her. “Hey,” I
The Lycan King's Scarred Mate Chapter 37: Wanting Them Punished
-Daphne- I was fuming. I couldn’t believe what my family had wanted to do. This was so much further than I realized they could ever take it, and I had demanded my mother was arrested too. Roman had no problems with it. I couldn’t believe they thought they could get away with this, but sometimes greed made people reckless and it made them think they were invincible. They weren’t, though, and I would never speak to them again. Jackson had to undergo a minor surgery, but the doctor assured me he would recover fast, and it wasn’t long before he woke up, all of us there. His eyes found me first, though, and he smiled at me so sweetly. “Hey,” he whispered. “How are you feeling?” “Sleepy.” “Yeah, the drugs are wearing off slowly.” “Mmm, wonderful,” he whispered. Jackson’s parents moved closer, and I let them have a moment with him as I waved Roman with me out into the hallway. He followed me and we stopped a little further away. “I can’t believe they did this,” I said. “How do you wa
The Lycan King's Scarred Mate Chapter 36: Rescuing Him
-Jackson- I was on the ground, bleeding and completely beaten up. I had tried nothing like it before. I had fought before. I had had my ass kicked, and I had been close to death, but this just seemed personal, and so the pain was different. I was unsure how many had attacked me, but the smell of lycan filled the room, so I knew it was no small wolves who had come after me. I had been able to take down one of them and he laid on the ground not far from me, but the others were standing above me, and I was unsure why they had stopped kicking me. Soon the door opened, and I saw nice shoes coming my way. I was able to keep my eyes open enough to slowly let them wander up the body, and seeing Daphne’s father in front of me. “You have made a lot of problems for me,” he accused. I tried speaking, but I just coughed up blood. “I need to have you removed so I can take home my daughter.” Hadn’t he tried ruining her with those rumors? Why kill me now? “She… is… mine,” I croaked out. “Not fo
The Lycan King's Scarred Mate Chapter 35: Wanting Him Gone
-Jackson- Daphne was scared to begin with as we began the dance, but when I asked her what it matter what other people thought, she seemed to realize something and began enjoying our night. I led her around through two dances before we finally joined the party and began to mingle. Not a lot wanted to talk to us. They either thought Daphne was some kind of whore, giving herself to a wolf, or maybe her family had made people believe she had given herself away to many. Or that I was a lunatic who had kidnapped her in the night and made her fall in love with me. That she was suffering from some kind of Stockholm Syndrome, but the people we spoke to were quickly convinced otherwise. They saw the love in our eyes. They noticed how affectionate we were with each other, and it changed their view of things. I knew some people we could never convince, but they didn’t want to be convinced. They want to believe the drama, because it was what excited them, but we wouldn’t care. Daphne and I were h
The Lycan King's Scarred Mate Chapter 34: The Party
-Daphne- Jackson came up behind me as I stood in the closet, all dressed up. He kissed my neck and made me feel so calm and secure pressed to his powerful body. I moaned a little as he kissed the mark on my shoulder. My dress had no sleeves or straps and my hair was up, so everyone could see I was taken. I knew it pleased my mate a lot. It was a way to tell everyone to fuck off if they tried anything. I squeezed his hands on my stomach before I turned around and he rested his on my hips. “You ready?” “Not really,” I admitted. “Why not?” “I am so nervous. I have never stood up to them before.” He smiled a little and kissed me. “You’re not alone.” I smiled back and finally noticed how sexy my mate looked in a suit. I ran my hands down his arms and back up, and I knew he saw the shift in me. “Like what you see?” “Very much,” I confessed. “You look amazing too,” he complimented me. I smiled even bigger, feeling how warm my cheeks grew. “I love you,” I told him again. Over the
The Lycan King's Scarred Mate Chapter 33: His Forbidden Lycan
-Jackson- Later in the evening, as rain began to pour, and we had eaten dinner, my family gathered in one of the living rooms. Just my parents, me and Daphne, and Ana and Roman. We were all sipping drinks, munching on snacks, and talking. I really enjoyed being there with them. I loved them all so much, and when I turned to look at my mate, I could feel it in my heart too. I was falling for Daphne, and I couldn’t wait until we could start our life together, with no one trying to interrupt our happiness. “So, when are you heading home?” I asked Ana. “Oh, want to get rid of me that fast, huh?” We all chuckled. “Just asking.” “No, you are trying to kick me out,” she teased. I shook my head, and she finally turned serious. “No, we are going home tomorrow, and then will begin setting everything up for the party.” “It will be the party from hell,” Daphne said. “No, it will be fine,” Roman assured her. “Is there anything special we should be prepared for?” my mother asked. “Just t
The Lycan King's Scarred Mate Chapter 32: Her Friend
-Daphne- Roman and I were walking beside each other outside. Jackson and Ana decided to spend some time together after Roman asked if he could have a moment with me. I was glad he asked, because I had missed my friend and I needed his guidance. It wasn’t just Jackson I had been hiding from. It was Roman and Ana too. After the dinner with Shane, I had simply gone back to my old life and acted like I could be the same person again. The one who could be the perfect lycan luna, and get mated to a complete stranger. The one who pleased her parents, no questions asked. I wasn’t that person, though. I had never wanted to be that person. On the inside I was so much different, but I didn’t know how to escape them. “So, how is it going?” Roman asked. “It’s… good,” I said, searching for the right word, but not even good could describe how wonderful I felt, and when Roman saw the smile on my lips, he began smiling too. “You look better.” “Better?” “Taller,” he said. “Yeah, Jackson brings so
