-Anastasia-I liked hearing that he wanted to warm me. I liked knowing he aimed to chase away the cold, because that was exactly what he did every time he touched me. But if I let him, I would lose my focus.“Maybe I want to stay cold,” I whispered.“Like you want to stay angry?” he asked.I nodded.“Aren’t you tired?” he inquired.I looked at him, surprised. “What?”“Tired of being angry and cold? Isn’t it lonely?”“I can handle it.”He smiled slightly. “I don’t deny your strength, little mate. I see it in you. I see how strong you are, but we can’t fight every battle alone. We need people with us. We need them to stay strong.”“I’ve managed so far,” I said.“But don’t you still have your family? I saw how well your cousin was taking care of you last night. You couldn’t have gotten home on your own, could you?”His words surprised me, and I just stared at him for a moment.“I… well… no, probably not,” I whispered.“So you aren’t doing everything on your own. You’ve accomplished a lot

-Anastasia-“Get off!” I shouted, my desperation growing.He shook his head.“Please…”Tears stung my eyes and soon rolled down my cheeks. I moved my hands to cover my face, but Roman grabbed one and pushed it away, wrapping my arm around his neck and doing the same with the other. He pulled me closer, forcing me to hug him. I couldn’t help myself. I buried my face in the crook of his neck and began to cry. I had never felt this way before. I had never experienced such comfort just from hugging someone.Roman wrapped his own strong arms around me, making me feel even safer. I tried to keep my sobs quiet, but the sounds escaped me. Roman still held me, not saying anything, just letting me cry. I had never let it out like this before. Even as a child, I hadn’t cried—at least, I hadn’t let anyone see me.Slowly, I quieted, but Roman didn’t let go, nor did I. We just held on, and I sighed a little as fatigue from crying washed over me.“Never run from me again,” he whispered. “Don’t hide a

-Anastasia-Roman suddenly appeared in the bathroom just as I had finished cleaning up. I found him leaning against the doorframe, watching me. I couldn’t quite decipher the look in his eyes, and I felt a wave of confusion.“What?” I asked.“Do you want to go for a walk before we see your family?” he offered.“Why?” I replied.“Just to spend some time together. I think what just happened was a lot for you.”I didn’t want to think about that moment, so I crossed my arms and shook my head.“I want to go home,” I told him.“Are you sure?”“Yes, I want to go back home. I want to be in my own room and forget I was even here.”Roman narrowed his eyes, and I noticed them shimmer with a yellow hue as he pressed both hands against the doorframe, leaning slightly forward.“This isn’t going to be forgotten, little mate,” he insisted.I looked at him, surprised.“You understand?” he pressed.I was stunned for a moment, then shook my head. “No.”“You can’t keep running from what we are.”“I already

-Roman-My mate let out a small groan, which jolted me awake. I had dozed off in the chair beside the bed. I lifted my head and looked at Ana, who was slowly stirring. She didn’t look well, which told me this had been a very bad episode. I reached for the glass of water, and her tired eyes focused on me.“Roman?” she whispered, her voice hoarse.“Here, drink a little.”She could barely sit up, so I helped her take a few sips before she lay back down and sighed deeply. I reached out and stroked her cheek. She closed her eyes for a moment, clearly savoring my touch. I smiled slightly, glad to see that my presence offered her some comfort, but my concern lingered.“So, what happened?” I whispered.Ana opened her eyes, focusing on me before glancing around the room. “Where am I?”“In my bedroom, of course.”“Why?” she asked.“Because you had another episode.”“I did?”“You don’t remember?” I inquired.“I… I remember feeling dizzy,” she replied. “And then… the world just went black.”“Somet

-Anastasia-“I want you to try to let go,” Roman explained.“Why?” I pressed.“Because it’s what you need.”“Are you my therapist now?” I asked sarcastically.He sighed and leaned back in his chair. “I don’t want to fight about this. I’m trying to help!”“Well, you’re not! So stop meddling in something you don’t understand!”“Then make me understand, woman!”“You wouldn’t even if I explained it all—no one can,” I snapped, turning away from him in frustration.“How will you know that if you won’t even try?” he pressed.I didn’t respond. I closed my eyes, trying to keep the old pain at bay. I fought against it, but it gnawed at my heart. Today felt different. So much had happened, and my episode had left me feeling disoriented, as if there was something important I had to remember but couldn’t.“Even if I… tried healing, as you say, it won’t change what I am,” I whispered.“But I don’t care that you’re a werewolf,” he said.“Others will…”“And I will show them that accepting you is the r

-Roman-I looked at my mate, seeing so many things going on inside her. I tried to read her through our bond, but it hadn’t had time to grow properly yet. We had only spent one night and a day together, and this was all still very new. So the confusing feelings I sensed from her were hard to distinguish. Even the fleeting expressions on her face eluded my understanding. I waited patiently, hoping she would open up.“Would… Would you really want me to move in?” she suddenly asked.I almost dropped my jaw, taken aback by the abrupt change of subject. It sounded like she genuinely considered moving in, but she had just made it clear that she wanted to go home. What had changed inside her?“Yes, of course,” I replied. “Of course I would.”“You do know a lot of people will have a lot to say,” she reminded me.“Let them talk,” I chuckled.The corner of her mouth curved slightly, as if she found it amusing too, but then she shook her head and sighed. After a moment, she looked at me with rene

-Anastasia-When I woke up the next morning, I immediately noticed how much better I felt. Stronger, even, which struck me as odd. Why would I feel stronger than usual? Before I could dwell on it, I heard a soft sigh behind me. Turning over my shoulder, I saw Roman lying beside me. So that was why I felt different. I glanced down at his arm draped around my waist, instinctively thinking to move it, but then I hesitated.No need to fight this if we need to get closer to him, right?My wolf had a point.You’re right.Then just relax.I could almost hear my wolf chuckle, and I found myself smiling as I settled back into the bed, letting his arm stay where it was. It felt strange. I wasn’t used to being held like this, but it wasn’t uncomfortable—just unfamiliar. I closed my eyes, trying to drift back to sleep, but I couldn’t stop thinking about the weight of his arm around me. I was hyperaware of it.Does it really bother you that much? my wolf asked.It’s not that it bothers me. I’m just

-Roman-I looked at Ana, confused.We’re not letting her go home!Verlon was definitely not letting our mate return home. She was staying here from now on, so what on earth was she talking about?“Hadn’t we agreed you’re moving in?” I inquired.Ana nodded, but I still felt perplexed.“I need my stuff,” she explained.“Oh!” I said, and the thought of bringing her stuff here made me happy.“Yes, let’s go get it,” I replied.“And I’m sure my aunt and uncle want to talk to me. I’ve kept quite the secret from them,” she added.“Why didn’t you tell them?”“It’s not like you announced it to the world!” she shot back.I chuckled lightly and shook my head. “No, but I had a friend to protect from humiliation. I couldn’t just broadcast that I had found my mate,” I told her.“Well, I sort of thought we wouldn’t meet again,” she said, “and that you were happy with the queen you had chosen.”I shook my head and reached out, tucking some hair behind her ear while smiling at her. “I always planned to

The Lycan King's Scarred Mate Epilogue
-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
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, 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
The Lycan King's Scarred Mate Chapter 36: Rescuing Him
-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
The Lycan King's Scarred Mate Chapter 34: The Party
-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
The Lycan King's Scarred Mate Chapter 32: Her Friend
-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
