Dearest gentle readers, *wink. This book is a sequel to Bound By The Lycan's Curse, which is Raven's dad amd Stepmom's love story. Kindly support by reading and enjoying the rollercoaster of emotions and unwavering love between a werewolf and a Lycan after fifty years of rivalry between both factions. Below is an expert.Chapter 1 I gazed out at the bright sun through the tinted windows of my dad's limousine, and rhe diamonds on my dress seemed to mock me, reminding me of my failure.Growing up, I thought all the males would fall at my feet because I was the Alpha's daughter, and my dad was a billionaire. But now, at twenty-three, with a first-class degree from Harvard and all the money in the world, I had no mate.To crown it all, my longtime boyfriend had been cheating on me with my best friend for months before I found out, thanks to the moon goddess, who paired them as mates.Thinking about it now made my chest tight. The two people whom I loved and trusted betrayed me in the mo
Clarissa I fell to the stage, surrounded by flashing cameras and concerned faces, I couldn't believe what had just happened. My heart was racing and I was hyperventilating, trying to process the fact that a Lycan was my mate.All around me, my family rushed to my side, trying to help me up and calm me down. My mother's caked-on makeup was smudged with sweat, a proof to her concern and worry. And all around, people were talking and trying to make sense of what was happening. 'Breathe, Rissa,' I encouraged myself, breathing out of my nostrils.Why was the moon goddess doing this to me? My brain couldn't process this at all. I'd been mateless for twenty-three years only to become a forbidden Lycan's mate?Fucking great!My mum squeezed my hand to comfort me. She was going to keep blaming me for months for disgracing her. "Here, sip some water," she said. My brother, Bryon, held my head while my dad checked my temperature. I felt lightheaded and was breathing quickly, inhaling and exh
JalenThe overpowering smell of old, musty leather filled my dad's beat-up sedan, and the sound of his angry voice rose above the roar of the engine as he scolded me for shifting into my beast form. Tension filled the car, and my anger radiated off me in waves."Is it such a difficult task to control yourself in public? Have you never seen a girl before that you had to shift into your beast form? Now everyone in the pack will yap about how my son was aroused by a stupid werewolf.""I wasn't aroused by her," I lied, trying to defend myself, but he was too far gone in his rage to listen."Griffin, please hear him out. There may be other reasons why he shifted, and besides, Jalen can't be attracted to that spoiled brat.""Oh, shut up," my dad barked at my mom, who had stepped in to try and calm the situation. "That's all you do, make fat and silly excuses for him. He never does anything right. I'll be retiring in a year, and I don't even know the future of our pack."She sat in silence,
Raven The moment I returned to StoneCrest High School after a year of rehab, I knew I'd made a terrible mistake. My heart banged with agonizing sadness, feeling like it was getting stabbed with sharpened metal sticks. To others, StoneCrest was everything it should be, an upper-class school reserved for the wealthy, well-equipped with qualified teachers, and recognized on the national level as the best high school. It was so famous that they rejected applicants once they passed the number of required students needed per session. To me, it was a shit hole and I didn't want to be here. I turned away from the six-story brick building. The school housed so many horrible teenagers and teachers who were supposed to do better. Unfortunately, all our parents cared about was to brag about their children attending the best school on the South Coast. Take, for instance, my dad, the Lycan King, who proudly boasted that his two daughters were students of StoneCrest. At the parking lot,
Raven The thought of lusting after a vampire made me sick to my stomach. This was trouble in every sense of the word. I made my way back to the secretary's office to sort out my schedule, but on my way, I felt a presence walking behind me. Turning around slowly, my breath stilled at the sight of the beautiful vampire boy. He looked well-groomed from head to toe. Judging from his well-ironed black pants, platinum white shirt, polished leather shoes, and the silver Rolex wristwatch resting on his left hand, his parents were wealthy. No surprise there, considering the huge chunks of money we paid for tuition. My breathing became erratic and I quickly looked away, trying to increase my pace, knowing that this encounter was bound to bring trouble. He chuckled behind me, wanting to close the space between us. "You know, for someone with short legs, you sure have a fast pace." I ignored his comment, quickening my steps even more, wondering why this hallway seemed never-ending. H
Vlad Wincing at the loud volume of the blasting stereo, I covered my ears and watched as some of my dorm mates danced to the music blasting off a speaker. We were having a mini party at the common room in our dormitory and although it was a school week, my friends and I were so spoiled that we often bribed the dorm janitors to let us have a little 'fun,' which included our girls. Limbs flailed wildly as vampires jumped around dancing to upbeat music, toasting, and chugging with cheers. Zarek, my best friend, thin as death's head upon a mopstick who despite the unhealthy calories he consumed never gained weight, threw a pillow at me. I dodged and relaxed on a red velvet sofa, surrounded by boys playing chess. "Hey sourpuss, get your lazy ass out here on the dance floor!" "I'm having fun. I don't have to be as loud as…" My eyes widened in shock when he slapped one girl's butt and placed a dog collar on another. Zarek was a man whore and loved his bed full of women. He had dan
Raven My feet bounced past the grassy lawn crisscrossed by sidewalks and I raced back to my dorm. Sweat dripped down my body, seeping into my AirPods. I loved the morning run because it refreshed my beast and energized me for the day. I stopped to wipe some sweat off with a towel when I noticed Vlad watching me. Standing beside him were three boys, the same ones who defended me from that bumhole, Troy. Vlad's gaze searched my face and darted lustfully, giving me a wink while his friends expressed knowing looks with sly grins. Vlad wasn't laughing but he had a genuine smile on his face that made my breathing race. Gosh, Why did he have to be so good-looking? Tugging the fabric of my hoodie and hating the pleasurable tingly noise I felt in my skin, I turned away and began running into the dormitory. Vlad had a strange type of animal magnetism that drew me to him and it disturbed me. I had to find a way to become immune to the raw power of his attraction. I couldn't wait to turn
Raven I dumped down on a chair at the back, grinding my teeth together in annoyance. What was Vlad up to? His aggravating smile could explode my brain at this point. It was no coincidence that he joined the math club after I did. My stupid brain couldn't stop thinking about him all through last night and this morning when he looked at me, the pit of my stomach heated. It would be utterly ridiculous for me to have issues because I knew all eyes were on me. Everyone expected me to slip or get into another scandal to ruin my already damaged reputation. I wasn't going to give them the satisfaction and if Vlad would be the target, I'd avoid him like the plague. Restless, I tapped my foot like a caged animal trying to escape. I just needed to keep my head low, finish senior year and escape this place. Vlad kept looking back and giving me a wink, licking his ruby lips like a cat lapping up cream. It almost looked like he was wearing lipstick. My brain conjured images, wondering how
