BOUGHT BY THE LYCAN TWINS

Chapter 1

"I love him," Alycia cried, as she stood before her father in the dimly lit room of her personal chambers, "I love him and I trust him, father. Why can't you give him a chance?"

Alpha King Eskaál was the powerful and feared Alpha of the Supreme Pack. He couldn't believe his daughter, the Princess and heir to the throne could be so foolish as to give her position to her mate. A rogue wolf!

For weeks, he'd believed she was only unwell, but now it was spiralling out of control, and it was just unfortunate that his Pack was turning into an avenue of rogue wolves.

He huffed in disbelief, his brows creased in worry, "This is totally unacceptable and unreasonable of you, Alycia. I do not care what he is to you, but this needs to be retracted. Do you even hear yourself? I can not have the rogue King being the Alpha of my Pack. No way!"

He turned to his wife, the queen, his eyes wide and nose flaring, "Tomorrow, I would have this retracted. Talk some sense into your daughter!"

"Eskaál, please listen to her..." the queen tried to speak, but he turned sharply and made his way out of the room in quick determined steps.

Alycia's body shook with sobs, and she flopped down on the bed. Her mother, who was initially standing beside her, came closer and sat on the bed with her.

"Alycia darling, are you really sure about this?" She was worried. So worried. Her daughter never made a reckless decision. Ever.

But Alycia clutched at her mother's dress, her eyes pleading as she turned to her, "Mother, please. Talk to father. Please. This is important to me and I swear, I am in control of my actions. Ethan will make me queen in a few days. Please mother..."

Queen Emerald shook her head. Evident lines of worry etched on her forehead as she heaved sigh upon sighs. In every sense, Alycia was being insensible and irrational, but a deep part of her wanted to give her the benefit of doubt.

She shook her head, as she slowly stroked her daughter's wavy hair, "It's going to be fine, baby. Don't worry, I will see what I can do..."

She engulfed her in a hug almost immediately, " Oh, thank you so much mother. Thank you, mother..."

She was so grateful that she heaved a sigh of relief.

Queen Emerald stood and made her way out of the room after making sure that Alycia had stopped crying.

Few minutes later, a slight knock was heard on her door, causing Alycia's heart to skip a beat.

She knew who it was even before she quickly stood from her bed. The door opened slowly, and a huge figure emerged before her.

" Oh, Ethan..." Alycia didn't know when her legs moved on their own accord, running into her mate's strong arms.

Her hands tightened around his neck, breathing in his scent which seemed to calm her down a bit.

A low rumble escaped Ethan's throat, at their proximity. He ran his hand over her hips, holding her closer to him, as he also breathed her in.

"Where have you been?" Alycia cried softly, "I've been waiting for you."

"I'm sorry, my lady," Ethan slowly released her so he could stare at her, "I was attending to some matters. Everything is a mess getting ready for the coronation. I had no idea it was already getting dark. I had to come to you...I'm sorry I kept you waiting..."

The corners of Alycia's lips turned in a smile. She couldn't help but feel a flutter of emotions at his words. He was so sweet. So caring. If only her parents could see this side of him. If only they could see the man she had come to love and cherish.

Ever since she offered her position to him, as the King of the Supreme Pack, it was not a surprise to her when the pack members, including the children, and her sister, all warmed up to him, despite being the rogue king.

That was to be expected, as Ethan had a heart of gold. He wasn't what her parents portrayed him to be. So down to earth and extremely lovable.

Her parents thought she was being reckless. She knew that. But what they didn't know was that Ethan was far above their expectations.

Alycia felt a hand on her cheek, drawing her back to reality, "I do not like seeing you cry, Li. Please stop. I know your parents do not approve of me, but if this is causing strain to you, maybe we should just..." he shrugged.

Her teary eyes widened, as she stared into his blue orbs. He looked worried, his eyes soft as they held hers, "What? No. Ethan, I know how important this is for you. This is a chance for you to be seen as someone other than a rogue. I want to be your queen. I want this for you and I would fight for it, if need be."
