The Lycan King's Branded Mate

KAZIA.I stood in front of the burning furnace. My fears suddenly arise like troubled waves. Murad had instructed his guards to take me to the branding chambers where the supposed ritual for my branding as his pet was situated."Strip!" They ordered but I shook my head negatively, my tears falling rapidly like twin rivers. He gestured to the guards and they both grabbed me so that I couldn't run away. I kicked, flapped and struggled but all my efforts to get away from them proved abortive."Please let me go!" I cried out in despair. I didn't want to go through with it. I don't want to be here. The thought of having your flesh burned up in a bid to bear the initials of a man who wanted to claim you as his slave was just wrong on so many levels. "The Lycan king has requested and you have no other choice but to go through it." He reminded me and signaled the men to push me closer. I watched him with teary eyes as he pulled out the rod that had been placed in the fire. They tore my cl

Kavan I sat at the round table with the other Lycan Kings, trying my best to appear interested as they babbled on and on about their packs and their latest conquests. The six of them haven't stopped trying to talk over each other and saying I was bored out of my mind would be an understatement. Everything they were talking about was things that I had heard quite several times and even though their repetitive stories didn't surprise me all that much, I was still very irritated by their pathetic attempts to outshine each other and brag about their mediocre achievements. Speaking right now was Lycan King Mario, with his obnoxious demeanor and his obsession with bragging about his collection of pets like it was some kind of respectable achievement. He hadn't stopped talking about how his pack was expanding, and how he was adding to his harem of branded women, making him the Lycan King with the most pets. I honestly could never understand how forcefully branding women and keeping t

KavanI walked back to the table where Jason was waiting for me in anticipation with my heart pounding in my chest. As soon as I took a seat, Jason leaned in, eager to hear about my encounter with my mate."So, did you find her?" he inquired, his voice laced with curiosity.I had expected him to be curious, seeing as he was the one that had found a way to distract Murad and give Kazia and me a chance to meet.I could sense the excitement building inside him, and I knew I couldn't keep him waiting any longer. "Yeah, I did," I replied, my voice full of pride.A smile crept over my face, and I could see Jason's eyes lighting up with excitement. "What's her name?" he asked eagerly."Kazia," I replied and the sound of her name sent shivers down my spine.As soon as I mentioned her name, memories of our encounter flooded my mind. The way her eyes had lit up when she saw me, the way she had stood on her toes to kiss me, the way she had felt when I had held her. It was almost too much to bear

Kazia I slowly emerged from the depths of sleep, my consciousness gradually taking hold. As I blinked my eyes open, the soft morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a gentle glow across the room. I squinted my eyes gently, trying to gather myself and that was when it hit me. The memories of last night. How I was sexually assaulted by the man who calls himself my owner; Murad. Tears welled up in my eyes as the memories of how he had forcefully had his way with me without caring about the fact that I was inexperienced and in the process, caused me nothing but immense pain and torment. I was busy reeling in my sadness and frustration, trying to force myself to erase the memories from last night until I was abruptly interrupted by a soft knocking on the door."Lady Kazia," a voice called from outside. "It's time to wake up," the voice announced.I groaned angrily, the remnants of exhaustion still clinging to my body and making me weak. I had barely slept the night befor

Kavan As I sat in the grand chamber surrounded by my council members, my mind drifted, consumed by thoughts of Kazia, my mate. Knowing that she existed and that I had to deal with being separated from her, weighed heavily upon my heart, and I longed for the day when I could see and hold her in my arms once more. Lost in my reverie, I paid little attention to the discussions unfolding around me.Leo, one of my council members, stood tall, his voice filled with frustration. He spoke at length, his words a blur in my distracted state. It was only when Jason, my ever-vigilant Beta, tapped me lightly and sent a telepathic message through our mind link that I snapped back to reality."Kavan, you need to focus," Jason's voice echoed in my mind. "The council is discussing important matters."Blinking away the remnants of my daydreams, I turned my attention to Leo, his brows furrowed in irritation. Realizing my lapse, I cleared my throat and asked him to repeat his statement. Leo let out an
