Chapter 9: Want More

last update Last Updated: 2023-03-21 14:00:22
-Anastasia-

It surprised me when the king asked if I had ever been kissed before. I shouldn’t have even allowed him to get so close. But I found myself almost wanting to ask him for more, though I would never admit it aloud.

“Well?” he pressed a little. “Have you been kissed before?”

I found myself wanting to answer him, wanting him to know he was the first. But I knew I shouldn’t.

Then don’t! Don’t let him know! It’ll only make him want more, make him want to do it again! Ana, let’s get out of here!

Yes, you’re right... we should.

Then why aren’t you moving?

“You’re so quiet,” he chuckled. “That was your first kiss, wasn’t it?”

I swallowed hard. “You see the scars?” I asked him, and he looked surprised. But what if I answered indirectly? That should be okay, right?

“I see them,” he replied.

“You really think someone wants to kiss me?”

He looked shocked, then a hint of anger flickered in his eyes. “I wanted to.”

“We’re mates.”

He growled darkly. “You’ve already insulted me enough tonig

    -Roman-It had gone so well. But then, one knock on the door changed everything.“Ana!” I yelled, rushing into the hallway after her.I saw her hurry down the corridor, glancing back over her shoulder before disappearing around a corner.Oh, she didn’t!My wolf and I were both furious that Ana had chosen to take off like that. I felt a surge of anger, my hands clenching into tight fists as I followed her. I wouldn’t let my mate get away. I’d catch her and tie her to my damn bed if that’s what it took to keep her in one place.I followed her scent back to the ballroom, but the myriad of competing scents and people soon confused me. Where had she gone? Had she left?“Roman!” A hand grabbed my arm as I searched for my mate. I turned to see Shane, concern etched on his face. “Are you okay?”“Yes… uh… fine,” I replied, shaking my head. I had completely forgotten about everything else after running into Ana. She made everything else fade away.“The speech,” Shane reminded me.“The speech?” I

    -Anastasia-I ran into the enormous crowd and quickly spotted my cousin, letting out a sigh of relief when I did. Getting close to another alpha was a good way to mask my scent. Jackson smiled when he saw me, waving as he mingled with some female wolves, charming them effortlessly.“Hey, there you are!” he said, grinning, with his arm around a female wolf I didn’t recognize.The group’s eyes widened as they took in my scars, and I could tell they were no different from my aunt’s friends—clearly thinking I should cover up.“Yeah, here I am… Hey,” I said, waving for Jackson to come closer.He moved in, concern etched on his face, while the female wolf glared at me, arms crossed. Did she think I was stealing him away?“Something wrong?”Oh, no, nothing at all! We just narrowly avoided being... well, let’s say, being devoured by the lycan king, who turns out to be our mate. So yes, this night is just wonderful! Want another drink?I wanted to roll my eyes at my wolf’s words. But instead, I

    -Anastasia-I was lying in the hot bath, unsure of what to do with myself. I felt lost and confused after everything that had happened. I had only managed a small thank you to my cousin before escaping to my room last night. My lips still tingled at the thought of that kiss, and my body warmed as I remembered his hands on me.I shouldn’t have liked it, but I had—a lot. It had been even worse in the morning. When I woke up, I had felt hot and tingly, sticky between my legs. I couldn’t remember what I had dreamed about, but I had a good idea since I had woken up feeling warm instead of cold and scared.Well, he did tease the hell out of us last night. I bet he’s as achy as we are.“Oh, I don’t think so,” I said.No?“He has his queen,” I whispered, surprised by the bitter tone in my voice.Oh… right.“I sense sadness from you,” I said.No! He can fuck his queen. I don’t give a shit!My wolf’s anger showed me that she cared, but like me, her first reaction was to deny, deny, deny.Well, w

    -Roman-I had been given no chance to discuss what had happened with Daphne after the party. She had decided to visit her parents’ place the next day before I even woke up. We hadn’t slept in the same room yet. I had planned for that to happen only after she officially became my queen.But after two days, she returned with a smile on her lips. She knocked on the door to my office, and I smiled back when I saw her.“Hey, I just wanted to let you know I’m back,” she said, walking closer.“How was the visit to your parents?” I asked.Daphne sat down in a chair across from me, waving her hand dismissively. “Oh, you know how they are—over the top thrilled about me being the next queen,” she chuckled.But I knew her parents had always hoped Daphne would be my queen. Even pressuring her.“Yes, I can imagine,” I said.“I just wanted to see them quickly because I know we’ll be busy from now on—getting everything in order, signing papers, planning the ceremony, the next introduction party, and d

    -Anastasia-I was sitting halfway out of my cousin’s truck, trying to avoid the warm sun while reading a book. Occasionally, I glanced at the wolves surrounding the lake. There were so many wolves enjoying themselves—drinking, swimming, and… sneaking off together. Some didn’t even bother to sneak. They practically flaunted everything they did right there by the water, which made me roll my eyes.Yet, heated memories of a certain lycan invaded my thoughts. I quickly shook my head, trying hard not to think about him. He seemed to occupy my mind more and more, even though I hadn’t seen him since the party. Every morning, I woke up drenched in sweat with a sharp pulsing sensation between my legs that I couldn’t ignore. The king had messed with my body—there was no other way to describe it. He had flipped some hidden switch inside me, and I couldn’t turn it off.However, I wasn’t going to fall for a killer. I wouldn’t allow myself to get attached. I still had no proof he was behind my paren

    -Roman-There was a soft knock on my bedroom door, and I turned around. I had left it open since I was planning to leave soon for the party I’d been invited to by a powerful werewolf family welcoming a new member into the world—a future alpha.“Hey,” Daphne said.She looked lovely in her white dress, but she wasn’t coming with me tonight. It would be better to let the news of our split travel slowly.“Hey.”She wore a smile as she approached, nodding approvingly as she looked me over.“Perfect as always,” she teased, and we both chuckled a little, though I could feel the tension between us.“How are you?” I asked.“Oh, you know… licking my wounds.”“Daphne—” She shook her head, clearly not wanting me to say anything. I understood. What could I say that would make this better?“I’m fine,” she lied.“I know,” I said, and she smiled, clearly appreciating that I didn’t call her out on her lie.“So, are you going to search for your mate at the party?” she inquired.“I’ll try,” I said. “But

    -Anastasia-I ran my hand down the dark red dress I was wearing. My dark hair was up, and I had a touch of makeup on. I really didn’t want to go out tonight, but after the last party I attended, my aunt was determined for me to join.Maybe the king will be there tonight!“Come on. It’s a werewolf party, not a lycan party. Why would he be there?” I asked.Why not? It’s a powerful family.“No, lycans prefer their own parties. They don’t like mingling with the likes of us,” I told her.My wolf sighed and lay down, feeling a bit defeated.“Besides, do we really want to see him parade his new queen around?” I inquired.What does it matter? We aren’t trying to take her place. We just want to see if we can get some information from him.I nodded slightly, but deep down, both my wolf and I knew we weren’t being completely honest. How many times had I found myself thinking about the king? It was frightening how turned on I felt, and the sensation only seemed to intensify.Don’t let it get to yo

It was a private party, after all, and there was security in place. They quickly offered me some champagne, and I took a glass as I joined the crowd in the expansive backyard. I quickly found the happy couple and congratulated them. They seemed pleased that I had decided to join tonight. I was surprised to see Shane there as well. I knew he was a social butterfly, but I didn’t expect him to show up.“Shane!” I made my way to him after excusing myself from the couple, and Shane turned to see me, smiling.“Well, look who it is!” he exclaimed as we shook hands.He glanced around me, as if searching for someone.“What?” I asked.“Where’s the pretty new queen?” he inquired.I downed my glass, stalling for time, while my cousin studied me.“What?” he asked.“She… isn’t coming,” I replied.“Oh, did you already have a fight? That was fast,” he laughed.I shook

    -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

  • 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

    -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
