Chapter 11: Eastern Ridge~

THE LYCAN ENFORCER~KAEL’S POV~Victor’s voice cracked through the air, “Goddess… a mate. You finally found her,” Annabeth burrowed into my shirt, hiding her face. Chad’s mouth softened, but he kept his voice low. “We’ve waited a long time to see you this way, Kael.” I didn’t answer. I looked at them, letting my eyes commanding over. “You will never mention this to a soul.” Chad straightened. “Kael—” “If word reaches the princess or her father, or any of my enemies, her life is over.” I stepped closer. “So Do you swear?” “On our lives,” they said together, heads bowed. “Good.” I turned toward the staff hall inside the mansion. Luckily I came across my most trusted servent, “Mrs. Halloway!” She appeared from the shadows, grey hair pinned tight, hands folded. She has served and kept my secrets for as long as I could remember. She’s one of a few I trust the most.“Mrs. Halloway, this is Annabeth.” My voice dropped half a note. “She’s under my protection. And she's to remain

Chapter 12: Feeling Him~

The Lycan Enforcer ~ANNABETH’S POV Yesterday was a rollercoaster of feelings for me. It felt like I couldn't breathe or think properly whenever he was around me.Last night when he left the room, my legs gave out. I slid down the wall with my hands shaking. My heart was beating so loud I was sure the guards outside could also hear it. I woke this morning and I could smell his cologne all over the room. The scent was still strong.Kael. He’d been here. In this room. This morning.I staggered up from the bed, observing the room quietly, I took a deep breath of His scent, it smelled so good and made my skin tingle. I slightly touched my neck where he’d leaned in so close I thought he’d kiss me again. Or bite me. Then I remembered his words. “You should be afraid.” I closed my eyes and pressed my fingers into my neck, trying to feel more of him.I realized I wasn’t scared of him anymore. But.. I still hated him.That was the lie I told myself. The truth? I was terrified of h

Chapter 13: Dinner ~

The Lycan Enforcer ~~Annabeth's POV ~I wasn't surprised when I saw him. Kael. Standing right by the door, staring at me. "Hello." He said to me, breaking the silence."You're back." I managed to say. I watched him come inside the room, pacing from one corner to the next, touching the surface of anything he could lay his hands on, looking awkward."How...are you? Trust your day was well spent?" He asked, looking away from me.I pulled the blanket closer to myself. "I've been locked in this room all day. You made sure of that. So the day went by exactly how you wanted it to." I said to him accusingly.He chuckled slightly and cleared his throat. "As long as it kept you safe. That's all that matters to me."I glared at him but it didn't seem to bother him at all as he continued, "I believe you're yet to have dinner. Would you mind joining me downstairs in the dining room?" He asked politely and I scoffed.This was different. So he did have manners after all."I'd rather just starve.

Chapter 14: The Garden~

The Lycan Enforcer ~~ANNABETH’S POV ~The silence didn’t break. Kael stayed crouched beside my chair, his blue eyes patient. Waiting. He didn’t reach for me. He just waited, like he had all the time in the world. And I had no answer. The candle on the table sputtered, wax pooling around the base. It was the only sound in the room besides my breathing. Finally, he stood. Slow. No sudden movements. Like I was a deer that might bolt. “Okay,” he said, his voice barely above a whisper. That was it. No anger. No “you will.” Just… okay. He walked back around the table and sat down. Picked up his wine glass, but didn’t drink. His knuckles were white around the stem. “Eat some more,” he said softly. “Your food’s getting cold.” I looked down at my plate. The steak I’d been drooling over five minutes ago now sat like a rock in my stomach. “I’m not hungry anymore and I think I'm full.” He nodded once. Didn’t argue. “Then we’re done here.” He stood again and came to my sid

Chapter 15: The Royal Summons~

The Lycan Enforcer~~KAEL’S POV ~I couldn't sleep all night.My mind kept drifting back to the room where my little mate resided. I was tempted too many times to go back into that room and take her, but I couldn't. I decided to be gentle with her and respect her wishes from now on, but I couldn't grant her the wish of leaving this mansion.And all night, I remembered the way Annabeth looked during dinner. Wrapped up in my cardigan.That was enough to keep me in the training hall until my knuckles split open. Dawn found me there, surrounded by broken dummies and my own blood on the stone. “You’re going to crack the foundation, boy.” Mrs. Halloway. Only she called over a 100-year-old Lycan Enforcer, a boy. “Then I’ll build a new one,” I said, not turning. She clicked her tongue. “With what? That temper? You’ll crush that little girl before you ever court her.” I finally looked. She held out chamomile for me. Gods, I hated chamomile. “I'd rather you gave Annabeth those a

Chapter 16: The Royal Gambit~

THE LYCAN ENFORCER~KAEL’S POV ~On arrival to the palace, Werewolf arrogance was evident in these walls like it's been, for centuries, layered over the scent of fear they pretended they didn’t carry. I walked through the gates with six of my own guards at my back, ignoring the four Royal Guards who’d “escorted” me from the mansion. They bristled at being reduced to scenery but I didn’t care. The palace halls were draped in gold and black, Portraits of dead werewolf kings lined the walls, their painted eyes too bold for men who’d never won a war without Lycan claws leading the charge. Lycans had bled to put those crowns on their heads. Now their descendants forgot. Now they thought paper and ink made them gods. Torches glowed against the pillars and The closer I got to the throne room, the colder the air became. Or maybe that was just me.Two guards hauled the doors open. The hinges shrieked like dying things. The throne room was full. King Rorik sat on his throne of fused

Chapter 17: The Proposal Refusal~

KAEL'S POV~Dain went very still against his pillar. He knew what was coming too. And from the twist of his mouth and the ugliness of it, he hated it.“You have served this crown without fail,” Rorik continued, his voice echoing off. “You ended the Bloodfang Rebellion single-handedly. Three hundred rogues, and you walked out without a scratch, with their Alpha’s head in your hand. You brought White Claw to kneel without spilling pack blood. You are the blade I trust most in this realm. The only blade I trust. The only one that hasn’t turned in my hand.” Murmurs came from the Council which sounded like Flattery. I didn’t care for flattery. “So it is time you were rewarded,” Rorik said. “Time you took your rightful place… not beside the throne, Kael. But within the royal family. As my son.” The room went silent. Armea took a step forward. Her smile was wide and Her eyes gleamed with victory she hadn’t earned yet. With a future she’d already written in her head without asking me

Chapter 18: Fickle Feelings~

KAEL'S POVThe drive back from the palace was silent. My guards knew better than to speak when my jaw was locked this tight.I just refused a princess. In front of the Council. In front of the prince and In front of a king who derives joy in holding grudges.Idiot, my father’s voice would have snarled in my head. You don’t slap a king unless you’re ready for war. The mansion was dark when we pulled in. Only the library lamp was on, spilling dull gold light through the crack under the door. Annabeth. Her scent hit me before I even stepped inside. Strawberry and lavender. Soft and Human. Wrong for this house of blood and politics, and still the only thing that calmed the beast in my chest. I pushed the library door open. She was there. Curled on the chaise by the window, buried under three blankets like she could hide from me. From this place. From the life I dragged her into. A book was splayed open on the floor, pages bent. She’d been reading. Or pretending to. She looke

Chapter 19: The Confession

KAEL'S POV The library still smelled like her. Strawberry and lavender clinging to the chaise, the blanket she’d left behind, the pages of that book with the bent corner. I hadn’t moved since she walked out. I stood by the fireplace, one arm braced on the mantle, staring into flames that did nothing to burn the palace stink off my skin. All of it was still in my throat. The door creaked open.I didn’t turn. I knew that heartbeat. Fast. Hesitant. Then stubborn. Annabeth. She stepped into view reluctantly, bare feet silent on the old rug, that oversized sleep shirt swallowing her. Her hair was a jungle mess, probably from sleep and from running her hands through it. She’d been thinking. Torturing herself. She stopped three paces away. Too far. The blanket from earlier was gone. She had nothing to hide behind now except her fury. “You’re still here,” she said. Not a question. An accusation perhaps. I said nothing. The fire popped and A log shifted. Her chin went up. That

Chapter 20: Red Moon Pack

TOMMY'S POV RED MOON PACKRed Moon Pack was asleep. The only light came from the war room in the back of the Alpha’s cabin. Maps were spread across the table, marked with charcoal. The air smelled like wolf, old paper, and my desperation. I stood at the head of the table, fists planted on the wood, staring at the red X I’d drawn over Kael’s territory. Eleven days. Eleven days since that bastard Enforcer walked into our land, flashed his title seal, and took Annabeth without a fight. Eleven days since I watched her disappear into his black SUV, eyes wide, calling my name. Eleven days I’d been planning. Plotting.“Tommy, this is insane,” Jace hissed beside me. The beta's Son, my best friend apart from Annabeth, since we were pups. “You want to hit the Enforcer’s Territory? With six wolves?” “Six wolves who owe Annabeth their lives,” I corrected him, not looking up. “Mira. Trent. Ellis. Kade. Lana and You.” “Alpha Dorian will have all our heads if he finds out about this,”
