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 Prologue
*Warning! Dark start, description of death. Skip this chapter if you are a sensitive reader* -Anastasia- As the house erupted in chaos, I held my hands over my ears. I had been told I couldn’t scream. I had to be as quiet as the dead. I was so scared, though. My small heart was beating inside of my chest, and I was crying. I bit my lip so I would not make a sound, but small whimpers escaped me anyway. I could hear screams and growls filling the house, and I closed my eyes together. Somehow I believed if I couldn’t see, I wouldn’t hear it. I would be able to shut it all out, but it didn’t happen. I still heard it all. I still heard them crying for help and the people screaming and begging. “Please… go away…” I whispered. I knew I shouldn’t speak, but I just wanted it all to go away. I wanted it all to turn quiet… Mom… I wanted my mom. I wanted her safe arms, and I wanted my dad to come and tell me all was going to be all right. When I had a nightmare, only he could calm me. But neit
The Lycan King's Scarred Mate Chapter 1: Scarred
-Anastasia- 14 years later… I stood in front of my mirror. The water was running down my body. The room was full of steam after my long bath. I always loved it hot. Almost scolding. I wasn’t sure why. It hurt when I got in, but I wanted it that way. As if the sting of the warmth fueled me in a way nothing else did. No food gave me energy. No sleep made me feel more awake. And no long walks or runs helped me feel stronger. But the burning water helped me. It brought me strength. It made me feel more powerful. Just for a moment, but it was enough. I made me actually feel something. I reached out and ran a hand over the glass, brushing away the steam on the mirror, and saw myself standing there, completely naked and still dripping with water. I turned my head and lifted my hand, running it over the burned skin on my body that covered almost my entire left arm and some of my chest. I had survived that night… but I had barely made it out. The flames had caught onto my clothes and burned m
The Lycan King's Scarred Mate Chapter 2: His Queen
-Roman- I was standing on the big balcony that faced the front of the enormous mansion. I watched the people stream inside, their voices carried with the wind and brought up to me. There were so many of them and they were expecting big things for tonight. They were expecting a new queen. Daphne hadn’t officially been named queen. I hadn’t marked her yet either. Tonight was just her introduction as my queen. A lot still had to be prepared for the official ceremony, and then there was the marking. I felt little about the marking, though. Many lycans would be excited, even wolves, but such an excitement was reserved for when you found your true mate. The one chosen by The Moon Goddess, and someone who was your perfect match. The missing piece who had been looking for. It was a blessing to be given a mate. Not everyone was. Among werewolves it was very common… Among Lycans? Not so much. We didn’t know why this was. Maybe it had something to do with the fact we were just born more powerful
The Lycan King's Scarred Mate Chapter 3: Party
-Anastasia- I came on my own tonight. Not that my aunt and uncle weren’t there. But we had gone by ourselves. I didn’t want them to figure out why I had really decided to attend tonight. To find answers. They felt like I was obsessed. Like I had decided to freeze myself in time and never move on, but how could I? How could anyone move on after witnessing what I had? How could anyone just… let go? I had watched something I was too young to watch and experience, and now this burning hatred in my heart was the one thing that kept me going. It was the thing that kept me alive. It helped me get up every morning. And it helped me eat and get dressed. I needed it so I could continue. It helped me hold my head high as I felt eyes on me as I walked in. People were whispered and talked as I walked by them, and I knew what they were saying. What they were talking about. My scars… "Is that her?" "Have you ever seen her before?" "Do you know what happened to her?" It was all questions I heard
The Lycan King's Scarred Mate Chapter 4: A Scent
-Roman- Daphne and I finally went downstairs, joining the party. We were being greeted left and right by everyone who had attended the party, and when we came into the big ballroom, we knew the show was really going to begin. We had barely taken a few steps. Then someone was calling out to us, wanting to talk, and wanting to get to know Daphne better, as if they hadn’t known her forever. It was all very… fake, really, but Daphne she was the perfect hostess and she was the perfect queen. I was more and more certain of it as the night went on. We would make the official introduction a little later in the night because I knew once that was over, we could escape the party, or at least I could. “Roman!” Suddenly, I heard a familiar voice call out to me, and a smile spread across my lips as I saw Shane coming closer. He was a distant relative of mine, but I always referred to him as my cousin and he did the same. We were very closer, and had known each other all our lives. He was a good f
The Lycan King's Scarred Mate Chapter 5: Mate
-Anastasia- I had a few too many drinks as I stood with my cousin and his friends. They laughed and joked around, while I stayed quiet in between them. I knew I had a job tonight, but I didn’t want to alarm my family. I knew they would tell me it was time to let the obsession go. Since my family there had been no violent deaths like theirs. No one who had been brutally murdered like they had been. But why my family then? Why not someone else? Did my family have enemies I had not known about? Most likely. As I had said, my family was not a small pack. They were influential and powerful. My father sat on the council for werewolves. The lycans truly ruled it all, but it was still important for the alphas to work together and have a connection. Besides, the wolves were already outnumbering the lycans. It wouldn’t be long before they ruled everything and made the decisions. But this only gave me motive. Where were the culprits, though? I looked around the room, looking at all the people to

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
