All Chapters of The lycan king’s regret  : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Zareth’s POV My jaw clenched. Stripper. This man thinks I am a stripper.I should have been angry, I should have turned around and staggered back into the hallway. But I was too drunk, too empty, too tired of being good. My father's voice rang in my ears: burden, disappointment, worthless. If he didn't want me, he'd give him a good reason not to want me. This was a stranger who didn't know me. He didn’t know anything. And now, I didn't give a shit what he said.“Sorry,” I slurred, stepping forward and on cue, he played the music. I made it to the middle of the room, between him and a glass table with empty bottles all around. I backed away from him, put my hands on my thighs and slowly ground my hips. The motion felt good—raw and freeing. I leaned forward with my tank top up, showing off my lower back. I didn't need any music. I needed to get some movement.I spun around, wobbling slightly. He stood up, crossed the distance between us, unnoticed. Fuck, he was tall.“This the best y

I was seeing things from Zareths point of view.The Ashbourne estate was really quiet when we got there the nightBy the time the sun came up all of that peace was gone.The hallways were filled with servants carrying all sorts of things like boxes and jewelry and clothes.It was like they were getting ready for a fight instead of a party.The problem was that this party had royalty coming.That made everyone really crazy.Maevyn said to me from across the room "You are just standing there like someone is dead. Can you least pretend to be excited for me?"I looked up. Tried to smile. "I am excited."She just said, "You are really bad at lying."I said, "That is because I am not lying."Well not completely anyway.Maevyn looked at me closely before she let out a sigh. "You have been acting weird since yesterday."That made me get all tense.Did she notice something was going on with me?My hand started to wander off to my neck, itching to feel the mate mark. I stopped it.The mark tha

Zareth’s POVNo… I silenced my wolf. He’s not my mate, the Moon Goddess can’t be this cruel.“Everyone, grab a drink!” the butler announced. I grabbed mine. “Long live the King and his bride!” the butler said, and everyone chorused it.—-I was given a room to stay in for the night, a little farther from my sister’s room. It was enormous, and the space itself felt oddly quiet.“Ouch,” I muttered, touching my head. I had drunk a lot last night.There was a knock at my door. “Your Grace, please have a bath and come to the dining hall for breakfast,” the maid said from behind the closed door.“Sure thing,” I replied.After my bath, I tied my dark hair in a ponytail and picked a pink hoodie and joggers to hide the mark.I went off to have my meal. Luckily, I found where they were having breakfast—they were more people than I anticipated.Kaelor, my sister, our supposed sister-in-law, and a lady who looked familiar… wait. That’s the woman who asked me those weird questions at the ball.I

Zareth’s POVOut of instinct, I rushed toward the sound of whoever had called my name. It had come from around the corner, but before I could reach it, they were gone, as if they had never been there.Strange.I finally went to my room, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that someone was watching me.As soon as I got to the bed, I instantly fell asleep.I blinked twice and scanned the room for a clock.Shit. 11 a.m.How long had I been asleep?I immediately went into the bathroom and stood in front of the mirror, examining the mark on my shoulder. It wasn’t healing.I wore a black tank top and shorts, then let my hair down.When I went to the dining room, nobody was there.“Your Grace.”I turned to look at the maid standing behind me.“They have already had breakfast and gone out for a run,” she said.“All of them?” I asked.She nodded.“Thank you,” I said before leaving.Damn. I was so hungry.I tried asking the servants and maids where the kitchen was, but they paid me no attention, a

Zareth’s POVSab drank from her own glass while Mae watched me with a surprised expression, a soft smile forming on her lips.“Gist me later,” she mouthed.“Okay, good night everyone. It’s past ten, according to the clock,” Sab said, pointing toward the wall.“I am a lady of my word,” she added, her eyes flicking toward Kaelor with a teasing look.“But before that,” she continued, “Zareth, Vi, Mae, and the guys will have to dance. Except me, because I won the game.”She leaned back slightly, proud of herself.“And since it’s my win, I choose the song. Normal by BTS.”Sab laughed as she connected her phone to the speaker.The music filled the room.“Begin.”Vi immediately started moving her shoulders, loose and unbothered. James attempted something close to twerking, completely unserious. Kaelor barely moved, as if his body had negotiated silence with the rhythm.I exhaled sharply.“Fuck it,” I murmured, letting the beat pull me in.I started moving—slow at first, then more confident,
