Lycan King’s Unloved Mate By Prachi s

Brielle

I looked at my stepmom, Emaline, and my stepsister, Jade, raising my eyebrow to replace the reason behind this sudden dinner meeting that my father, Alpha Warren Lopez of Embermoon Pack, had called.

‘I don’t know, Bri,‘ Jade’s mind linked, and I saw Mom

shrugging her shoulder as well. So, it looked like only Dad

knew why we were called here.

“Honey, what’s the matter?” Mom asked softly.

“Eat,”

I pressed my l*ps tightly together when he not only dodged Mom’s question but also rudely responded to her. My fist tightened around the fork.

“Don’t talk to Mom like that,” I

said, glaring at him.

“Bri, it’s between us,” Mom said, trying to calm my anger. Even though she was my stepmother, I loved her no less than my own mother, who died fourteen years ago.

At the same time, the old man sitting around the table was my biological father, but I hated him more than anything. If I

2/17

had one reason to hate, then I would have told everyone, but this man had given me multiple reasons.

He first abandoned my mother because she gave birth to me as a girl and then couldn’t

conceive again. After that, he married Emaline Mom for political reasons; she already had a daughter, Jade, from a previous marriage. He thought his sun might shine now, but unfortunately, even she couldn’t conceive. In the end, it was revealed that the person who rejected my mother had defects in himself.

I huffed in annoyance and focused on my dinner. I doubt

that this meeting had anything to do with me; after all, my so- called father never cared for

me or my mother.

I wondered why she loved him so much, even on her

deathbed, when she asked me to work on my relationship with my father.

“I’ve received a marriage alliance from Tristan Deacon, older brother of Lycan King of Moonlit Guardians, for my daughter, and I’ve accepted it,” he said, more like stated. He had already made his decision. I didn’t bother to react,

knowing he was talking about Jade.

Not me.

After all, why would any Lycan

send a wedding proposal to a woman who didn’t have her

wolf?

Yes, that was true. My mother was human. That was why I was half human and half

werewolf. I could mindlink like

a werewolf, but I couldn’t shift

like a werewolf.

Dad took me to a lot of oracles

to replace out why I couldn’t shift. That was when they told him either I didn’t have a wolf soul

or my wolf soul was too weak to make an appearance

because of the human blood in

my system.

“Congratulations, Jade,” I said, winking at her. We both hadn’t found our mate, so getting married to the person who

showed interest in her wasn’t a bad thing.

“It’s for you, Bri,” Dad said, and the color of my face paled. I blinked at him twice, not able to believe that what I just heard was true. “The marriage proposal was for you, and I agreed.

“HOW COULD YOU? I yelled at him, slamming my hand on the table and standing on my feet. “I’m nineteen, and you can’t make decisions on my behalf,” I added, and I was about to leave when he used

his Alpha command.

“Return back to your seat and finish your dinner.”

I hissed in anger but couldn’t go against his command. I angrily had my dinner thinking about my boyfriend, Jameson Bowman, who had been my boyfriend for the last two years. I wanted to tell Dad about him, but what was the use of that?

I knew he wouldn’t approve it because Jameson was the son of the Rogue King and was allowed in our territory for a year because of the program launched by the Lycan King to give a chance to the future

rogue leader to lead his pack in a better way.

He returned to his pack after a year, but by then we were already in love with each other.

After dinner, I returned to my room, not knowing what to do

now.

How could my own father do this to me?

I was in love with Jameson. I couldn’t marry someone else. While I was thinking all this, Mom walked into my room with a sympathetic smile on her face.

Mom! I rushed towards her, hugging her tight. “I don’t want

8/17

to marry someone else, Mom. Please talk to Dad and

convince him to switch my place with Jade,” I said, between my cries.

“I wish I could do that, Bri. But there is nothing I can do, my princess. I can’t believe how your father agreed to this marriage, knowing Tristan Deacon is one of the most heartless and cruel people I have ever known. Getting our precious daughter to a person like him meant planning her death. If I was shocked and angry before, now I am scared.

“I shouldn’t be saying this, Bri, but now even I feel that your father hates you the most. I

9/17

will suggest you elope with Jameson, or your future is

doomed.

Breaking the hug, I looked at her in shock. Not because she talked about Jameson. We were like best friends, so I shared everything with her, but I was shocked at her suggestion: “Mom?”

“I meant it, Bri. You should elope. Just talk with Jameson about it. I kept staring at her in shock until I hugged her again happily for loving and caring for me so much.

The Moon Goddess snatched my mother from me, but in return, she gave me the best

mom in the world.

I wasted no time and used the

secret passage to leave the pack to meet Jameson. A passage about which Mom told me to help me in my love story.

I threw my arms around my boyfriend the moment I saw him standing at our personal place, where we had been meeting for a year now.

Pulling me away from him, he

crashed his l*ps against mine. I

k*ssed him, pouring all

emotions into the k*ss.

my

After a while, he broke the k*ss before asking softly, “What’s

11/17

wrong?”

At that moment, I really hoped he would agree with my

elopement plan, or I would be doomed. I told him

everything, including what Mom had suggested to me.

“But Bri, how can you survive with me after becoming rogue?”

“Don’t worry about that, James. I’m ready to sleep on the floor and in a small hut as long as you’re with me. Power and money are things that I never cared about. All I need is your love and your support in my decision. His eyes softened, and he caressed my face with

unknown emotions that f

couldn’t understand.

“Okay!”

My eyes twinkled at the fact that he agreed, “Thank you. Thank you so much! I love you, James.”

“I love you too, Bri”

I returned to pack before Dad could catch on that I wasn’t in the packhouse after discussing elopement with Jameson. He needed some time to plan everything, or there would be a big chance that we could get caught.

Surprisingly, the night that Jameson planned to elope was

13/17

the same night that Dad fixed my engagement. Again without my consent.

Finally, the night came when I was going to run away with Jameson while Jade was ready to sacrifice her life by

marrying that cruel Lycan, taking my place as a substitute bride for my happiness.

Using the secret passage, I had almost left the pack when I received tonnes of messages on my phone in one go.

I quickly opened them, thinking it was Jameson’s message, but I felt someone snatch the floor under my feet

14/17

when I saw the pictures of Jameson and Jade together while having S**. Not just that, there were videos of them having S**. I couldn’t understand who was playing this prank on me until I recognized the background of

the picture.

It was Jameson and my personal meeting place, Jade’s bedroom. I knew I was getting late and Jameson was waiting for me, but my legs were glued to that place to check all the pictures. It looked like they were having an affair behind my back for a long time because it was just pictures of one meeting.

15/17

Chapter 1

At the same time, I received a

message from Jameson.

‘I’m waiting for you, Bri.‘

A lone tear escaped from my eyes, realizing that he had never waited for me. I wasn’t

ready for S** and asked him to

wait, but it looked like instead of waiting, he found another option.
