MOON MARKED BY THE LYCAN KING
Skye has spent her life as a servant in the Alpha’s household, unseen by everyone except her best friend Medora and the Beta’s son, Rhory. On the night of her eighteenth birthday, during the height of the mating season, her world collapses when the mate bond snaps between her and Rhory, only for him to reject her while in bed with Medora.
Heartbroken and desperate to forget, Skye seeks escape with a masked stranger at the masquerade ball. She wakes the next morning alone, branded with a mysterious crescent moon mark on her shoulder.
When the feared Lycan King Eryx arrives to claim Medora as payment for her father’s debt, his eyes land on Skye instead. In front of everyone, he demands her. Forced into his car, Skye learns the truth. Eryx was her masked stranger, and she is his second-chance mate.
Now Skye must survive a dangerous court where Eryx’s family wants her gone, a noble rival schemes for the throne, and her own past threatens to destroy her. But the greatest danger of all may be falling for the king everyone fears.

Chapter: CHAPTER TENSKYE'S POV The silver flame in the forest didn't just burn; it seemed to pulse with a rhythmic, organic life. Each flash of light sent a corresponding shiver through the mark on my shoulder, a searing, rhythmic ache that felt less like a permanent brand and more like a second heartbeat I had forgotten I possessed. Outside the sprawling glass wall, the world was a void of black, jagged pines and frozen peaks, yet that singular, unnatural glow cut through the darkness like a beacon of ancient, forgotten power. *It’s calling me,* the thought surfaced, unbidden and terrifyingly clear. It wasn't a suggestion; it was an imperative, a command issued from the soil and stone of the mountains themselves. I turned away from the window, my legs feeling like they were carved from lead. I had to stay put. Eryx had commanded it with the absolute authority of a King, and Kael was stationed just outside the heavy, iron-bound oak doors—I could hear the steady, rhythmic scrape of his boots against th

Chapter: CHAPTER NINESKYE'S POV The aftermath of my retort to Elder Thorne hung in the air like ozone before a catastrophic lightning strike. The silence in the dining hall wasn't just a lack of sound; it was a physical weight, a pressurized vacuum that seemed to suck the oxygen right out of the room. I could feel the gazes of a dozen noble families prickling against my skin like needles. They were weighing my worth, calculating my pedigree, and searching for the cracks in my armor. I was a servant, an orphan, an outsider—and I had just dared to speak to an Elder as if we were equals. Beside me, Eryx remained a calm, immovable mountain. He didn't rush to defend me, nor did he reprimand me. He simply picked up his wine glass, his movements fluid and leisurely, as if I hadn’t just openly challenged the second most powerful man in the kingdom. The indifference of his posture was a weapon in itself. "An interesting perspective, Skye," Thorne finally rasped. His voice was like dry leaves skittering over pav

Chapter: CHAPTER EIGHTSKYE'S POVThe East Wing was a labyrinth of cold marble and echoing silence. My footsteps, usually so light and practiced in the kitchens of the Silvercrest Pack, sounded like gunshots against the polished floors. The guard, a hulking Lycan whose face was a map of old scars, didn’t speak. He simply marched, his posture so rigid it looked like he was carved from the same obsidian as the fortress walls.I didn't blame him for his silence. I was the King’s "surprise." I was the girl who smelled of Beta pack rot and servant’s apron. Every time I passed a mirror—and there were hundreds of them, framed in heavy, tarnished gold—I caught a glimpse of myself: messy brown hair, eyes rimmed with exhaustion, and a dress that looked like it had been pulled from a ragbag.I hated the way I looked. I hated that I felt small."Here," the guard grunted, stopping before a set of double doors carved with intricate, twisting vines.He pushed them open, and the breath left my lungs.The room wasn't just a

Chapter: CHAPTER SEVENSKYE'S POVNighthaven wasn’t just a fortress; it was a scar on the world.As our convoy crested the final, punishing switchback of the mountain pass, the structure finally revealed itself against the bruised purple of the late-afternoon sky. It was an obsidian monolith, jagged and brutal, carved with a ruthless precision that defied the natural chaos of the peaks. There were no manicured gardens, no gentle slopes, no soft, welcoming edges. There was only raw, absolute power, hammered into the very throat of the mountain.The gates were massive—two towering slabs of iron and dark, reinforced steel that looked like they had been forged in the fires of hell itself. As we approached, they didn't just open; they groaned, a deep, resonant sound of tortured metal that vibrated through the floorboards of the car and rattled in my chest.In the backseat, the air felt thin, recycled, and suffocating. My fingers were locked together in my lap, the knuckles strained and white, a physical manifest

Chapter: CHAPTER SIXSKYE'S POVThe roar echoed through the valley long after the Lycan King fell silent.Every leaf on the towering pines trembled. Even the horses pulling the escort wagons stamped nervously against the earth, refusing to move.I couldn't.My fingers had gone numb where they clutched the edge of the seat.The creature standing in the middle of the road barely resembled a wolf.He towered over the rogues, his midnight-black fur glistening beneath the morning sun. Muscles rippled beneath his coat with every measured breath he took. His silver eyes burned with an intelligence that made him far more terrifying than any wild beast.He wasn't simply larger than ordinary wolves.He was something else.Something older.Something born to rule.The rogues realized it too.Their confidence falved.One by one, they slowed until only their leader remained several paces ahead of the others."You've grown arrogant, Your Majesty," the rogue sneered, though his voice lacked the confidence it had carried

Chapter: CHAPTER FIVESKYE'S POVI did not realize how small the world could become until I was trapped inside a car with the Lycan King.The leather seat beneath me felt too soft, too expensive. The windows were tinted dark enough that the outside world looked distant and unreal. Eryx sat beside me, one arm resting against the door, his broad shoulders filling the space so completely that I could feel his presence even when he wasn't touching me.I kept my hands folded tightly in my lap and stared out the window. The Silvercrest Pack territory was disappearing behind us. The familiar pine trees, the dirt roads, the cluster of houses where I had spent my entire life—everything was fading into the distance.I should have felt relieved.Rhory was there. Medora was there. Luna Naila was there. The place held more painful memories than happy ones.But as the trees blurred past, grief settled heavily in my chest.That had been my home.No matter how badly I had been treated, it was the only home I had ever know
