Three rejections. Three shattered dreams. That was Layla’s reality, all because she was different—a half-shifter in a world obsessed with purity. Ostracized, shunned, and finally sold off like a pawn to the most feared ruler alive—the Lycan King. He was ruthless, a king with a graveyard of brides, each one a ghostly reminder of a fate worse than death.

Layla loathed him. Hated the way his gaze cold and fathomless, held no warmth for her. Hated how his touch, both thrilling and terrifying, sent an uninvited chill down her spine.

“I hate you!” I screamed, hands clenched so tight my knuckles ached.

He sighed, a smirk curling at the edge of his lips, his tone mocking as he closed his book with a deliberate snap. “Stressed, are we?” he asked, strolling toward me, each step reminding me exactly who held the power here.

“Lucky for you,” he drawled, rolling up his sleeves as he stopped just inches away, “I know exactly 70 ways to ease those nerves.” His fingers brushed my cheek, a touch that seemed to burn into my skin. “The first… a hug.” His voice dropped to a rough whisper as he leaned in, breath hot against my ear. “And the rest... well, that's 69? what do you say about that?"

I swallowed hard, my heart thudding wildly as he tilted his head, waiting for me to react, that insufferable smirk still in place. 

“What’s the matter, darling?” he murmured, a taunt lingering in his gaze.

LYCAN KING CASSIAN

I will tear her apart piece by piece, feeding the wildfire that grips her with each shuddered breath. Like air to flame, I’ll claim every inch, drawing heat from her skin until it sinks into her bones.

Her pulse will race under my hands, her breaths shallow, pleading. Her eyes may scream, but her lips will still murmur my name. That first taste of fear will only feed something deeper—a need that burns through her veins, molten and fierce.

And just when she’s too far gone to turn back, I’ll twist the knife, giving her the pain she’s learned to crave. 

She’ll be the moth to my flame, helpless against the very thing that will consume her.

A Dangerous Obsession

Darkness. An endless, suffocating void.

I stood in the middle of nothingness, my feet touching neither ground nor air. Just… floating. Suspended in an abyss that stretched beyond my vision. The silence was overwhelming, pressing down on me like an invisible weight.

Then, just as suddenly as the void had come, it changed.

A breeze swept through, carrying the crisp scent of damp earth and pine. Shadows twisted, pulling apart like threads of fabric, and suddenly, I wasn't in the void anymore.
