Chapter 23: Liking That She Needs Him

-Roman-

Ana’s cousin looked shocked. If his jaw hadn’t dropped before, it surely was now.

“Eh… my King,” he stammered.

“I hope you’re not going to question this,” I replied with a small smile, running my hand through Ana’s hair and hearing her let out a content sigh. “I’m clearly the right one to help her.”

“Don’t… Um, isn’t there someone waiting for you?” Jackson asked hesitantly.

“Waiting for me?”

“Your… queen?”

“My queen is in my arms,” I stated, smiling.

Jackson glanced around, searching for someone else, but there was only Ana. When his gaze landed on her, it was clear he began to piece everything together.

“Wait…”

I chuckled softly, perhaps a bit too much given the seriousness of the situation.

“Is Ana…?”

“My mate? Yes.”

“Fuck!”

I looked at him, confused by his reaction, but he quickly shook his head.

“No, not that it’s a bad thing. It’s just that I know my cousin isn’t exactly… thrilled about… um…”

“Lycans?” I prompted.

“Actually, just anyone. Dating has never really been her in

    -Jackson-“Wait?” the king asked, sounding surprised.“Yes, just hold on.”“Why?” He narrowed his eyes, clearly displeased with my interference. I could feel his aura growing more intimidating, warning me not to challenge him.“Because… I know my cousin,” I said, trying to make him understand. “I don’t think she wants to wake up in a strange bed, and if you met at the party but she hasn’t mentioned you since, it suggests she hasn’t fully accepted you.”His expression darkened, and I swallowed hard. I might be an alpha, but I stood no chance against a lycan, especially not the king of all wolves and lycans.“She will,” he replied darkly. “Once she learns to look beyond her anger.”“I’m not trying to obstruct you,” I said.“You are at the moment,” he shot back, irritation clear in his eyes.I sighed and stepped back, needing space from his threatening presence.“Listen, how about this?” I suggested. “Let her come home with me, and we can all talk in the morning?”“No.”I sighed again, ex

    -Roman-Jackson and I exchanged nods, reaching an unspoken agreement, yet I could see that he wasn’t entirely comfortable leaving his cousin in my care.“I’ll go back and let my parents know,” Jackson said. “They’ll probably want to see her tomorrow.”“I’ll talk to her, and if she’s strong enough, I’ll bring her back.”“Very well.”“Phone,” I said, extending my hand.He stared at me for a moment, looking surprised, but then handed it over. I typed in my number and sent myself a text before handing it back.“I’ll be in contact with you,” I told him.He just continued to stare at me, but I knew having the king’s number wasn’t a small matter.“I’ll see you soon,” I said.“Just take care of her, and try to get her to eat a little,” he replied.I nodded, grateful for the advice.“Chamomile tea is easiest to get into her,” he added.“I appreciate it.”Jackson still didn’t look happy about letting us go. He was clearly used to being the one taking care of her alongside his parents, and now he

  • The Lycan King's Scarred Mate   Chapter 26: Waking Up

    -Anastasia-I felt strange—not like I usually did after one of my episodes. I didn’t feel sick or cold. Usually, when I woke from my episodes, I still felt a bit ill. But now I felt warm—very warm—and good. I felt safe. This wasn’t how it usually went, but maybe I had gotten lucky this time. Perhaps my episodes were getting easier? I sighed happily, relieved I wasn’t in pain anymore.As I slowly turned, I noticed a heavy arm around my waist. What the hell? I felt around and grabbed the arm. My eyes shot open, and I lifted the covers, seeing the limb wrapped around me. That’s when I realized I wasn’t wearing my dress, and the covers weren’t mine. They were black and carried a dark scent that made my head spin. I liked that scent a lot, but who did it belong to? I slowly followed the arm and looked over my shoulder to find the king sleeping behind me.I wanted to scream, but no sound came out. I just stared at him. What was I doing in his bed? The last clear memory I had was of my cousin

    -Roman-“I told him the truth,” I said.“Which is?” she pressed.“That we are mates.”“What?” she exclaimed.I sighed, annoyed by her surprise. Why wouldn’t I tell him?“Why?” she inquired.“Because we are,” I replied, confused.“No!”“No?”“No, you shouldn’t have told him,” she snapped.“Then he wouldn’t have let you go with me,” I explained.“Exactly!”I narrowed my eyes, frustrated with her reaction. “You need to start accepting what we are to each other.”“No!”“By the Goddess,” I said, rolling onto my back. “You’re here now, and this is where you’ll stay.”“I’m not staying here! I can’t believe Jackson allowed this!”“He was reluctant, knowing your reaction,” I said, glancing at her.“But he still allowed it!” she yelled.“Only because you wouldn’t let me go.”Ana froze and looked at me, appearing puzzled. I smiled, finding amusement in her confusion.“What?” she asked.“Yes, we had agreed you should go home with him and then we could all talk in the morning, but you refused to le

    -Anastasia-The king pushed me down on the bed and this time settled between my legs as his free hand ran down my body and then pulled up my shirt so he could place his warm hand on my stomach. I whimpered a little as he bit down on my bottom lip, and then two of his fingers were sliding along my skin and just a little under the edge of my underwear.I grew excited. I felt a pulsing feeling in my pussy, and I lifted my hips a little like a silent invitation. I couldn’t think straight when he was touching me. I couldn’t say no. All I knew was that I liked his touch, and when he slipped his hand into my underwear, cupping my pussy, I leaned my head back and let out a little scream. He leaned down and kissed and sucked on my neck as he found my clit and began to rub it.“And you say you don’t want me,” he chuckled darkly. “Your body tells a different story.”He slipped his fingers lower, and soon two were inside me, pumping in and out as I pressed down, craving them deeper. “Damn, you’re

    -Anastasia-I sat on the bed, leaning against the headboard, unsure of what to do next. I couldn’t just run away—I didn’t have my car, and my cousin was nowhere in sight. Without either of them, it felt impossible to go anywhere. I wasn’t even sure where my purse was, which meant my phone was gone too. Was I stuck here until the king decided otherwise?The bathroom door opened, and he stepped out wearing only a towel. Wow… I thought. There was a lot of smooth skin on display. I watched him smile as he walked to his walk-in closet to get dressed. My body warmed again, as it always did in his presence, craving him. He returned, fully dressed, though his hair was still slightly damp. He looked so good—why couldn’t he be ugly?“I’ll get some new clothes for you, and then we can have breakfast together,” he said.“I think you should take me home,” I replied. “Or at least let me call my cousin.”“After you eat, if you feel strong enough, I’ll take you back.”“You will?” I asked, surprised.

    -Roman-She looked good—my little mate, dressed casually in jeans and a shirt. I let my eyes run up and down her body as I put my phone away, focusing all my attention on her. She stepped closer, like a cat unsure of its owner, which made me smile. I patted the empty space on the couch, inviting her over. She approached but didn’t sit down.“I think we should go back,” she said.“I think we should eat something first,” I replied.“Here?”“No, I just wanted you close and to see if you felt better before we went downstairs to eat.”“Well, I’m just fine,” she said, glancing away.“You do look better. There’s more color in your cheeks.” I looked her up and down again. “And you look beautiful.”She whipped her head around, surprised by my compliment. But why wouldn’t I give her one? My mate deserved praise.“Are you strong enough to walk downstairs?” I asked.“Don’t I look strong enough?” she countered.“You might look strong enough, but that doesn’t always mean you feel it.

    -Anastasia-I was in another trance as the king fed me breakfast. He wanted me to do the same for him, constantly teasing me by licking my fingers or taking them into his mouth, making me feel so warm. I knew what his fingers could do to me, and if just his lips felt like this, what wouldn’t they do to my body? The thought made me blush.After finishing breakfast, he had his own way of cleaning me up—literally sucking each and every one of my fingers before kissing me hard. The kiss tasted delicious, infused with the flavors of the food we had shared. I moaned as he slipped his tongue in, stroking mine. I clutched his shirt tightly, unable to help myself from pulling him closer. He easily maneuvered me until I was straddling him, grinding against him as the pulsing sensation between my legs intensified.“Fuck yes,” he breathed. “Make yourself come like that.”He really wanted me to grind against him? I pressed a little harder, but then shook my head and turned away, forcing myself to s

    -Daphne-Two years later.“Jackson?” I called as I walked into my mate’s office. We often spent time together in this space, but I had woken up late today. He lifted his head and smiled at me, his expression brightening as I entered.“Hey,” he replied, his smile growing wider the closer I got.I walked around the desk, grinning playfully. As he reached for me, trying to pull me closer, I playfully moved away, leaving him looking puzzled.“Can’t I touch you now?” he chuckled.“Not yet.”“Oh, are we playing?”“Yup, my own little special game," I admitted.“Is that the game where you tease me mercilessly with your mouth and tongue?” he asked with a smirk.“No," I replied.“Where you strip and drive me crazy?”“Nope.”“I’m getting confused now,” he said, making me laugh. “What kind of game are we playing?”“A guessing game," I revealed.“Okay,” he replied. “Is there a prize for me to win?”He smiled mischievously, and I nodded.“I’m all in, then," he said.“Tell me the first thing that com

    -Jackson-Daphne had her fears, but after I recovered and her parents received a proper sentence locking them away for years, she stepped up to the role of luna. I had never seen her flourish like this before. It was as if a hidden side of her had been waiting to emerge, ready to show what she could truly accomplish. We offered the pack members a choice, and almost everyone preferred to merge rather than remain independent.Daphne and those who chose to join her moved to our territory, but she still retained ownership of her parents’ former land and house. She made it clear that anyone who wanted to stay could do so, but they would remain under both our control. Everything was going great between us.I watched from a distance as my mate returned from a late run. Daphne smiled brightly as she saw me on the porch, and I pulled her closer, kissing her deeply.“Hey,” I whispered.“Missed me?” she chuckled.“Very much. We hardly do anything but work lately,” I admitted.“Yeah, what else sho

    -Daphne-Jackson had to undergo minor surgery, but the doctor assured me he would recover quickly. It wasn’t long before he woke up, and all of us were there for him. His eyes found me first, and he smiled sweetly.“Hey,” he whispered.“How are you feeling?” I asked.“Sleepy.”“Yeah, the drugs are wearing off slowly.”“Mmm, wonderful,” he murmured.Jackson’s parents moved closer, and I let them have a moment with him as I motioned for Roman to follow me out into the hallway. We stopped a little further away from the others.“I can’t believe they did this,” I said, my voice low but fierce.“How do you want to handle it?”“I want them in jail until they die! If I weren’t such a peaceful person, I would hunt them down myself and end them!”Roman smiled at me, a proud look on his face. Confused, I glanced at him.“What?” I asked.“I just never heard you speak about them like that before.”“Yeah, well, they haven’t tried to kill my mate before. Those bastards!”He nodded slightly. “I will m

    -Jackson-I was on the ground, bleeding and completely beaten. I had fought before—had my fair share of bruises and close calls—but this felt personal. The pain was different. I wasn’t sure how many had attacked me, but the unmistakable scent of lycan filled the room, signaling that these were no ordinary wolves. I had managed to take down one of them, who now lay motionless not far from me, but the others loomed above, and I couldn’t understand why they had stopped kicking me.But suddenly, the door opened, and I saw polished shoes approaching. Straining to keep my eyes open, I let them wander up to see Daphne’s father standing before me.“You’ve caused me a lot of problems,” he accused.I tried to speak, but all I could do was cough up blood.“I need to have you removed so I can bring my daughter home.”Hadn’t he already tried to ruin her with those rumors? Why would he want to kill me now?“She… is… mine,” I croaked.“Not for long.”I watched in horror as one of the others handed hi

    -Jackson-Daphne was initially scared as we began to dance, but when I asked her what it mattered what other people thought, something shifted in her. She started to enjoy our night. I led her through two dances before we finally joined the party and began to mingle.Not many people wanted to talk to us, but I knew some individuals would never be swayed. They thrived on drama and reveled in the rumors, but we wouldn’t let that bother us. Daphne and I were happy together, and nothing could ruin that.“I see my parents,” Daphne mumbled as she sipped her drink.After a while, we had retreated to the bar to enjoy some time together.“You want to talk to them now?” I inquired.I knew it was the smart move, but Daphne shook her head.“Not yet.”“Well, how about you wait here while I go to the bathroom for a moment, and then we can face them?” I suggested.“Yeah, let’s wait a little. I’ll be right here,” she assured me.I leaned closer and kissed her before downing my drink, then I walked awa

    -Daphne-Jackson came up behind me as I stood in the closet, fully dressed. He kissed my neck, filling me with a sense of calm and security as I felt his powerful body pressed against mine. I let out a soft moan as he kissed the mark on my shoulder.My dress was sleeveless and strapless, and my hair was up, making it clear to everyone that I was taken. I knew this pleased my mate immensely. It was a silent statement to anyone who dared to approach me. I squeezed his hands on my stomach before turning around to face him.“You ready?” he asked.“Not really,” I admitted.“Why not?”“I’m so nervous. I’ve never stood up to them before.”He smiled softly and kissed me. “You’re not alone.”I smiled back, finally noticing how incredibly handsome he looked in a suit. I ran my hands down his arms and back up, and I knew he noticed the shift in me.“Like what you see?”“Very much,” I confessed.“You look amazing too,” he complimented, making me grin wider as warmth flushed my cheeks.“I love you,

    -Jackson-Later in the evening, as rain began to pour, my family gathered in one of the living rooms. It was just my parents, Daphne, Ana, Roman, and me. We sipped drinks, munched on snacks, and chatted, and I genuinely enjoyed being there with them. I loved them all so much, and when I turned to look at my mate, I felt it in my heart too. I was falling for Daphne.“So, when are you heading home?” I asked Ana.“Oh, you want to get rid of me that fast, huh?” she teased.We all chuckled.“Just asking,” I replied.“No, you’re trying to kick me out,” she teased.I shook my head, but she finally turned serious. “No, we’re going home tomorrow to start setting everything up for the party.”“It’ll be the party from hell,” Daphne said.“No, it’ll be fine,” Roman assured her.“Is there anything special we should be prepared for?” my mother inquired.“Just that my family can be mean,” Daphne said.“We all need to be confident and relaxed,” Roman advised. “It wouldn’t surprise me if the rumors hav

    -Daphne-Roman and I walked side by side outside. Jackson and Ana had decided to spend some time together after Roman asked if he could have a moment with me. I was grateful he had asked because I had missed my friend and needed his guidance.“So, how is it going?” Roman asked.“It’s… good,” I replied, searching for the right word. Even “good” couldn’t fully capture how wonderful I felt.When Roman noticed the smile on my lips, he began to smile too. “You look better.”“Better?” I echoed.“Taller,” he said.“Yeah, Jackson brings out something in me,” I admitted, feeling a rush of warmth at how my mate was transforming me for the better.“I wish I could have done more for you,” he said. “Being my queen was supposed to be your escape, but then Ana appeared, and you had to go home again.”“Roman, I don’t blame you for loving her,” I assured him.“No, but I feel bad that I couldn’t do more for you, that I allowed them to turn you into that person,” he confessed.“That person?” I questioned
