Aree’s POVI couldn’t look straight at him as I sat on the edge of his bed. Even though he is my mate, I still feel intimidated because I regard him as the king of Lycans.His eyes never left mine. He was looking at me as if he didn’t want me to lose in his sight. His eyes darkened as he started to walk in my direction.I quickly looked away. I wasn’t sure how he would treat me. Does he have the ability to heal others? Usually, wolves can only heal themselves but not everyone. Oh yes, I remember--- he’s not a normal wolf, after all. He’s a mighty Lycan King.I sighed and looked at him again. He was standing in front of me, just a few meters away. Should I ask him what I should do? If he would heal me, I should rest on the bed, right?I was about to lie down when his deep voice interrupted me. “Take off your clothes,” he said, causing me to look at him, shocked.“Pardon?” I asked. He didn’t talk and kept his gaze on me. I bit my bottom lips and closed my eyes. I don’t have any choice b
Aree’s POVZavier crossed his arm on his chest while looking at the twins. I found his grumpy face adorable. I closed my lips tightly to suppress my laughter and averted my gaze from him.Callister wiped the blood from the corner of his lips while still cursing. While Claude, his face was deadly serious. Zavier faked a cough to get their attention, “So, what happened?” Callister rolled his eyes and walked towards the sofa, and sat there.“His mate did that,” Claude answered for his brother. Zavier’s grumpy face changes to amusement. “Really? Kindly elaborate on it?”“Sure. Our mate---” Zavier stopped him. “Our mate?” he asked in surprise. Claude nodded, “Yes, Callister’s mate is my mate too. We haven’t seen her for years, so I never expect her to be our mutual mate.”Oh, that’s unexpected indeed. “Then? How did this mysterious lady manage to hurt him? I’m curious and amazed,” Zavier said while grinning widely. He’s doing everything not to laugh but still burst into laughter.“This is
Aree’s POVWhile I’m sleeping, I feel like someone’s embracing me. His scent lingers on my nose as I breathe in. I buried my face in the pillows even more and inhaled deeply. I don’t want to think he’s here with me because I know he’s not. I’m not as special as they think. Why would the king spend more time with a girl like me?I closed my eyes tighter as I pulled up the blanket. I refuse to think about nonsense matters. I’m only being delusional. I let myself fall into the darkness. When I woke up, I realized I was alone. I’m right; I’m just hallucinating.I rubbed my eyes and stretched my body. This is the most fantastic sleep of my life. I never thought I would rest like this after what I experienced before. I slowly looked around; I couldn’t help but wonder where he was. Maybe he’s busy, or he’s with someone else.I dismissed that strange thought and shrugged my shoulder. I should get up now. I was about to open the door when someone suddenly entered. The door nearly hit me, but I
Aree’s POVHer smile widened when she saw my confused expression didn’t change. She moved closer and tapped my shoulder, “Don’t be shocked. I’m telling the truth. And to let you know, my power lies in healing, not in reading minds,” she playfully said.Oh, if that’s the case. Is she the senior healer? Callister and Claude’s mate? I was slightly shocked to see her this early. After what happened to her and the twins, I thought she wouldn't return anymore. It seems likely that the twins must have done something to bring her back this soon.As I glanced around, I realised that the girls who had mocked me earlier were still here, making me feel self-conscious all over again. Their disapproving glares bore into me as they shook their head in dissatisfaction.In just a few seconds, they started to leave one by one. Once they had all left, I found myself alone with the healer. I saw her shake her head in disbelief, “Just ignore their words. They were only jealous because the king values you,
Aree’s POVI leaned forward to hold the door handle, but then I hesitated and stepped back. I don’t have the courage to barge in. Upon hearing their increasing moans, I tightly shut my eyes in disbelief. As I opened them again, my jaw clenched, unable to believe this bullshit.What I’m hoping for? That he’ll remain loyal to me is just because I’m his mate? I realised I’m being delusional. I need to calm myself down at this moment. I gathered my thoughts and took a deep breath. I gazed at the door, mustering the courage to knock.The noise inside gradually subsided, and then I heard his voice inviting me to come in. I tightly pressed my lips together as I grasped the door handle and entered. The moment I entered, I noticed a she-wolf standing up from his lap, with her shirt halfway unbuttoned.I wasn’t able to say a single word. And I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t shocked and hurt by what I saw. I could only stare at them. The she-wolf was looking back at me. However, he stayed seating
I wiped the sweat from my forehead while still wiping the glass window. I let out a sigh. I have to finish it now before Stella sees me. But I was always the unlucky one."I know she's really annoying. Every time I see her, my day is ruined," I turned around when I heard her voice.Stella was the beloved daughter of the Alpha. From the first time she saw me, I knew she would never like me.She was beating up her personal maid the first day I was sent here. I froze, praying she wasn’t the one I was going to serve.“Who are you? Why are you standing here like a statue?” I can hear the annoyance in her voice Stella got red hair like fire and her dark green eyes fixed on me.She looks so beautiful.“I'm sorry. I am just new her---” I didn’t have the chance to complete my sentence because she raised an eyebrow and cut me off.“Never mind. Just get out of my face; you’re annoying me,” I nearly raised an eyebrow, but I stopped myself.“Sorry---“She raised a hand. “Uh-huh. Don't talk,” As she
Aree’s POVI couldn't help but cry because of what happened. I still have the pain in my heart because of the rejection earlier. Until this moment, I still can't believe that the rejection happened. From hating me to rejecting me.I was expecting that, but what I didn't expect was that I was easily rejected by him. He didn't even think twice.I tried to calm myself down before I looked for Stella. I wiped the tears from my eyes and walked down the wide hallway.I immediately bowed when I met the pack's Alpha Cornell, James and Stella's father. He also stopped walking and looked at me."You look like a mess, are you alright?" I didn't expect him to ask me that. I looked at him slightly, I could see curiosity in his eyes.I nodded, "Yes, I'm fine. Thanks for asking," I said politely and bowed again."Alright. Do you know where James is?" He asked me. I nodded, "In his room, Alpha.""I see. You can leave," I nodded and started to walk again.I found Stella in her room, a smile on her lip
I need to leave now. If I were the Alpha's daughter, I might even consider going to the palace as the king's breeder for the family’s glory but not now, as an omega, I have nothing to do with this matter, my mate just rejected me. Why do they have to sacrifice me?I might be a slave but I still own myself. I slowly backed away and ran to my room. I know the King, Stella was right. After he lost his mate a few years ago, he became more aggressive. I heard he killed the maid attending to him after she said something he didn’t like.He can kill someone whenever he likes. I have not seen him in person but the rumors said he had the looks of a monster.I packed my things and hurried out of my room. I only had a little time to escape since they were still occupied with the news from the palace.I went through the back door so that only a few people could see me. I immediately ran into the forest behind the pack house.It's very dark outside, but because of my night vision, I can still see i
