For three years, I waited to become the perfect Luna for my pack and give the Alpha an heir. Three years of lies, being the intruder in someone else's love. Three years to suffer the death of my baby and seek revenge against the man who disfigured my face and destroyed my womb. Dying captured by my own pack or escaping and surviving—those were my only two paths. I chose to hide and live. The Lycan King, Aldric Thorne, the most bloodthirsty and ruthless ruler who led the werewolves with an iron fist—I became his personal maid, the most dangerous position, where I could lose my head at any moment for the slightest mistake. But no one from my past would ever look for me here. "Always submissive. Don't speak, don't listen, don't see anything, don't bother the Lycan, or you'll die." Simple rules to follow. I thought I was doing well until the day the King made me an offer I couldn't refuse. "You want me to save those people? Then surrender to me tonight. Be mine. I desire you, and I know you feel the same. Just once, Valeria... only once." But it wasn't just once. And passion turned into love. That cold, untamable man conquered my heart as well. However, when the past comes back to haunt me and the truth of my birth is revealed, I must make a choice once again—flee from the Lycan King or wait for his mercy. "I'm sorry, but this time, I won't lose my pups again. Not even for you, Aldric." My name is Valeria Von Carstein, and this is my complicated love story with the Lycan King.

Brute force against something immaterial was a difficult battle.However, Lyra, like her siblings, was a special being with unique abilities.Aztoria, Lyra’s wolf, tore through the fragments of dark magic and devoured them, absorbing all the specter’s macabre energy—something neither an ordinary wolf nor a common Lycan could process in their body."These sons of bitches are pissing me off! Aahh!" Vicky roared, slashing deep wounds into both palms and pressing them against the ground.Her lips began to chant rapid, incomprehensible spells. The mountain trembled, the forest beneath them stirred.As her father’s daughter and a descendant of the dark prince Zarek, she was calling upon some of his undead to aid them in battle.It seemed the specters’ time was running out.However, that light... dancing in
NARRATOR All of them stood on the ledge. Nyx looked up at the sky above their heads; there was nothing to see, only a dense layer of darkness."I think we need to go through this cave. I couldn’t ascend any further with my portals," Lavinia informed them.There was an energy field floating above the mountain."Guys, I think the breach here is about to open," she said excitedly."Wait for my return," Laziel turned to command the massive blackened head that loomed behind him.A low hiss echoed from within the spectral mist.And so, with more recklessness than bravery, the new and powerful generation of supernatural beings ventured into the dark tunnel, now illuminated by magical lights conjured by Nyx."There are specters ahead. Stay alert. I’ll control them—I’ll go first," Laziel took the lead.With specters present, he was the best suited to handle them.As the faint glow at the end of the path grew closer, the prince's bad premonition deepened, but so did his curiosity.Something ex
NARRATORSigrid quickly spotted her parents entwined in a dance.She watched in amusement as her father whispered something to her mother. She’d bet anything it was something indecent—her father was always so intense, especially when it came to loving his mate and family.She still remembered when he showed up at the palace with the three pups already in his arms, nearly giving the royal couple a heart attack, and Aldric wanting to kill Silas all over again.Blaming him for taking her out while she was that pregnant—even accusing him of trying to steal his grandchildren for himself.Just another typical day in King Lycan’s castle.They joined the other couples, chatting, joking, and having a good time."Uncle Zarek, you're still murdering the rhythm! You're a musical assassin!" Sigrid teased her mentor. Only she dared to do that.Between Zarek, Silas, and Laziel, it was a toss-up who could move their facial muscles the least in a day."Sigrid, don’t be mean! I’ve been trying to convin
NARRATORHe and his weird little quirks."What are you doing here, and how do you know I want to go to the mountains?" Lavinia frowned slightly."I wasn't spying on you, if that's what you're worried about. I was looking for my sisters, and you don't have to be a genius to figure out you're interested in energy fields," Laziel replied, his sharp eyes gazing into the distance, where the sky looked strangely distorted."Well, when you put it that way..." I sound like an idiot.Lavinia twisted her lips a little.She was supposed to be the eldest here, yet this kid gave off the aura of a thousand-year-old man."If you're uncomfortable, I'll go alone...""No, wait, Laziel!" Lavinia stopped him just as he was about to turn his back on her. "I'm sorry for being so harsh. I'm just a bit anxious about all this, but yes, I'd really like to go with you."With you, it's a million times safer, especially if there are rogue specters around."I'll find my sisters first...""We’re already here. I kne
NARRATOR"Every time I see you, you look more and more like our father…""Ever heard of the term identical twins, idiot? You look just like him too""Hey!""Enough babbling, you two. Go hunt. Make sure that by the time I get back, there are at least two fat boars waiting," Aldric ordered, his expression brooding as he approached."Boars? Here, Dad?! There are barely any... ""We’re going, we’ll bring them, Dad," Magnus cut in, grabbing his brother by the collar of his tunic before Aldric could smack him.Fenrir just asked to get hit sometimes.It was obvious their father, as always, was sending them away from their mother Selenia, so that by the time they returned from the hunt, he would already be busy with her."Laziel, stop right there. Go help your uncles," Valeria caught him trying to slip away. That pup was more introverted than a turtle."Mima, I left some experiments unfinished. The uncles know how to hunt just fine," Laziel responded. If there was anyone he showed even a shre
NARRATORKatherine had run into her eldest daughter and Lyra in the fief’s village, and luckily, Lavinia had spilled everything before they got here.She hadn’t been able to contact her sister and was already starting to panic when she saw her mother... it was like the heavens had opened, even though she knew she wouldn’t escape the scolding."Come here and look at the spectacle we’ve put on in front of the kings. Elliot, stop being so irrational! And shift the hell back already!" Katherine grabbed her daughters and growled at her husband.She held onto Amara’s wrist the tightest to keep her from running to her mate—otherwise, the fight would break out all over again.The young lycan sobbed in justification, Lavinia tried to mediate, Elliot stood there naked, Beof was practically naked too, bleeding, and mentally scrambling for a defense for the impending trial.‘Dear father-in-law, your daughter danced half-naked for me in a brothel, pretending to be a courtesan and was about to slee
NARRATOR"No, no, it's her father!" she answered Soul, trying to fix things before they escalated too far.Beof immediately suspected the attacker's identity, and his wolf also recognized the scent. But there was a difference between not fighting to the death with his dear father-in-law and letting himself be slaughtered in the garden."Listen to me, Regent, I can explai—DAMN IT!"No explanations, no chance—Elliot, in his dark lycan form, charged at him like an unstoppable locomotive."Papa, no!" Amara screamed, scrambling up from where she had fallen on the grass, watching in horror as her father—fully transformed into his lycan form—was tearing into her mate, who was enduring every kind of injury in his human form.She had to step in.Her father wouldn’t listen to Beof’s explanations, nor did he seem to care that Beof wasn’t shifting out of respect.She got to her feet, determined to shift and intervene."No, no, let them settle their differences. That’s how males do it," Nyx and Vi
NARRATORDamn, she really was a marked lycan now, and recently, her mate had already been uncomfortable with so many males around her, even though he rationally knew they were neither a threat nor competition."Mara, we're really glad to see you and that you turned out to be the mate of the brave Beof," Magnus said, keeping a respectful distance.The white lycan stepped closer to his mate, wrapping her in a dominant embrace. His blue eyes carried a subtle warning for the other males."Well, and the real party hasn’t even started yet," Fenrir added with a mischievous grin—he was the type who loved watching the world burn."Did Laziel fall asleep anywhere again?" Victoria glanced past them toward her cousin, who, as always, seemed disconnected from reality."I'm awake," Laziel’s cold voice rang out as he got up from the ground, dusting off his black robe embroidered with silver.No way to sleep with all this damn chatter."Come here, my favorite nephew!" Fenrir strode over, grabbing him
NARRATOR"Uncle Beof, this… was to help you find your mate. Look how happy you both look." Nyx answered with a not-so-innocent smile."You and I will talk later. And every single one of your accomplices—I already have a good idea who they are. So, a Madam of a brothel, huh?" Beof still couldn’t believe she had lied to his face—and even given him advice on top of it!"Love, they did it for me. I was the one at fault... ""There’s no time for this." Nyx cut off her friend’s sappy moment with the Guardian.The scent of mating was getting to her, making even her wolf uneasy about being too close to the freshly marked pair."Your parents and mine are heading to the De La Croix fief."With those words, the entire room tensed.Including Beof, who was now fully realizing just how much explaining he’d have to do to his mate’s father... for deflowering her in a brothel room, without even offering him a formal greeting."I’ll go pick up the lycan twins, then I’ll track you in the forest. I won’t
