All Chapters of The Lycan King's Alpha: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

I had followed her for miles. I knew she was a werewolf the moment I caught a whiff of her. I trailed ituntil I saw a glimpse of her wolf in my forest. I stalked her here. I told myself that it was because I needed to know who this wolf was on my land, but there was something about her scent that had mefollowing her in a way I didn’t think I was controlling.She tried to lose us near the end, but lycans are far better trackers than that. When she finally stopped and shifted into her human form, I had to approach her. Shifting out of my lycan form myself, I moved toward her. When I was a few steps away, her scent engulfed my senses, sending an irrepressible need through me. As soon as she turned around, I knew why.“Mate.”The word sprang from my lips. It was overwhelming. In the light of the moon, I saw her eyes widen in shock. Then fear flashed across them before they narrowed in determination. She took a defensivestance, and I pulled myself out of whatever trance I was in. That’s

I had eaten the food Damen had brought to me despite trying to convince myself not to. But ultimately, my stomach won out. I had run my hand through my hair and felt the matted, dried blood that stuck toI must have really banged it hard, or rather Damen had banged it hard when he tackled me. Either way, it was no wonder I was starving. I had spent hours healing, which is why it also didn’t surprise mewhen I felt exhausted by the time I was done eating.Thoughts about being drugged or poisoned bounced around the back of my mind, but for some reason, Ijust didn’t feel like that was going to happen. Still, I pushed myself to stay awake, dragging myself back up on the bed to start working on the tapestry. It didn’t take me too long to get the nail pulled out of the wall, but my victory was short-lived when I realized I didn’t really know what I was going to do with it. Ihad never picked handcuffs before.But how hard could it be?I sat back a started working on the lock, but I was soo

I don’t know how long I cried. I was even less aware of how long I lay on the floor. The feeling of crippling failure had eaten away at me until I was numb. The only thoughts in my mind were of my parents. How I couldn’t bring myself to avenge my mother’s death. How I had left my dad all alone, with no idea what had happened to me. He would search for me.He would come for me.The thought sent a new wave of emotion through me. He knew I had been patrolling the lycan border. How long would he search before coming here? If he came here, they would kill him. I had to find a way to stop him. I had to get out of here.I pushed myself up off the floor, my stiff body protesting the movement. My hands were still healing and sore from where my claws had dug into the flesh, but I pulled myself up to my knees. I noticed the first light of day starting to seep into the room. Now that I wasn’t chained, I could see where I was and get my bearings. I pulled myself to my feet and moved toward the win

I was inclined to protect Willa’s identity as well as her presence here. Someone asking questions that led back to her could very well lead to someone discovering her absence back home. Someone we didn’t want to know. But Damen was right. We would have to bring someone else in on this, and another lycan wouldn’t be ideal. Everything we needed to know about Melanie’s death was in the Black Moon Pack. I had faith in Damen, and I trusted his judgment. At the end of it all, we would have to take the risk, and Dante seemed like the best man for the job.“We’re looking into the death of Melanie Carmine, the former alpha of the Black Moon Pack,” I said. “Are you familiar with the name?”Dante thought for a moment, then nodded. “This would be about… twelve — thirteen years ago? I believe I heard something about a car accident.”“That’s the public story,” I stated. “We’ve recently been informed that she was actually murdered. The accident was a way to get to her. I want the case reports and an

I slammed the door shut behind me, not caring if I pulled half my scalp off as I forcefully tugged my hands through my hair. Wondering how I could be so stupid.I fucking kissed her.I couldn’t control myself, and I fucking kissed her. And it was amazing.I shouldn’t have even gone up there tonight.I threw myself into the armchair and stared up at the ceiling. The ceiling that put so much distance between me and my mate that it physically hurt.Damen’s concerns had sat heavy with me all day. He was right. Finding out that the alpha in the prophecy was my fated mate opened it up to a whole new avenue of interpretation. Since the prophecy had been delivered to me ten years ago, we had approached it as if the alpha was the threat. That she would kill me and take my throne. Any ruler can tell you that was always a risk to consider, prophecy or not, so I didn’t take it too seriously at first. But it was the part about the alpha ascending that started to bother me. It was an old term that
