The Lycan king

Lenora, an orphaned omega, has always known her place: at the bottom of the pack, toiling away in the kitchen while enduring constant insults. Headstrong and unyielding, she often speaks up for what is right—earning her the ire of her packmates, especially the ruthless Lycan King, Jax, and his confidante, Claire. On her twenty-first birthday, Lenora’s life takes an unexpected turn when she discovers that Jax is her fated mate. But instead of joy, the revelation brings humiliation. Jax, embarrassed by their bond, demands secrecy and rejects her outright. When a cruel setup orchestrated by Claire forces Jax to banish Lenora and her closest friend, Noah, tragedy strikes, leaving Lenora shattered and determined to abandon her werewolf roots. Haunted by his actions, Jax tries to bring Lenora back, but she is no longer the omega he once disregarded. Found and manipulated by Jax's estranged brother, Luke—a vengeful outcast—Lenora must navigate a web of lies, uncovering truths about her mate and the dark secrets that threaten to tear the pack apart. As power struggles ignite and betrayal cuts deep, Lenora must rise above the chaos to protect what remains of her heart and her pack. But when love and revenge collide, will Lenora and Jax find their way back to each other, or will their bond be forever broken?

Chapter 6

*Jax*

I paced around the conference room, waiting for that girl to show up. I had been too swamped with meetings to have a discussion with her. I wanted her to tell me everything she learnt. Knowing Leonora, she wouldn't waste her time telling her everything.

The door opened and the girl walked in with Claire following behind her. "My king." Her head bowed as she greeted me. I nodded my head accepting her greeting, even though she couldn't hear me.

"Speak." I commanded. I really wanted to hear what Leonora was up to. The information I had on her was not enough for me. I wanted to know everything. Who she spoke to, where she buys her things, if she was seeing someone-

Wait!

Why is that information necessary? I didn't care if she was seeing someone else because we were already fated to be mates. No matter what she was mine and I could do whatever I pleased with her.

"She lives in this dingy motel. It turns out the apartment is her side job." She started. There was no way that was true. I had sent the best people to watch her. Who did she think offered her an umbrella when it was raining? There was no way they would make a mistake as grave as this. "She also told me that she wouldn't be coming back. That you're the reason Noah died."

Noah is dead? No wonder she was alone when she got to the town. I never expected that. Was that why she never wanted to come back? Maybe. I could hardly care what happened to him. That was the same Noah I found her in bed with. He was lying down beside her. Their bodies all tangled up in the sheets.

Fuck!

I hated remembering that moment. My wolf always got frantic when I remembered. My wolf was always frantic when it came to Leonora. It wanted to mate with her but I didn't. I couldn't. I had a reputation to uphold. How would a King end up with an Omega?

"Why isn't she coming back? She can't possibly love the human world so much! We are all she has left!" Claire spoke drawing me from my thoughts. "You may leave. We'll send for you if your presence is required." Claire dismissed as she walked towards my direction, taking a seat beside me.

She placed her hand on mine and looked at me. "Don't worry, she'll be back here one way or the other." I don't think Claire understood. I need Leonora here now. I needed to get this over with. My wolf needs someone to mate with and I needed to get this rejection over with. I didn't care if the rejection would hurt my wolf, I knew I couldn't be mated to her. "I'll make sure of it. Just tell me where she is."

"I have another plan. I'll send the warriors to bring her to me. Forcefully or not, she must be back in this pack!" I said, slamming my hand on the desk. A part of me still had some questions I needed her to answer. Was she so repulsed by me that she sought out pleasure from Noah? Wolves are loyal to their mate so seeing her on that bed, her soft skin, her lips slightly agape as she slept, her breasts pressing against the flimsy bra she had on, begging to be freed-

I shook my body trying to get rid of the thoughts and the feelings I had been repressing. I reminded myself that she was on the bed with another man. She chose to sleep with him and nothing could change that.

"And then you can be free." She softly said. I looked at her and she had a small smile on her face. "It's better to be without a mate than to be mates to an Omega. She doesn't know anything about running the pack like you do and if you still want a mate, you can find someone who is knowledgeable."

"I haven't exactly thought about finding another mate. I just don't want to be mated to Leonora. I cannot let my father down." I lied and she nodded, adjusting in her seat so that she could face me. "If the Moon goddess grants my request-"

"When she grants your request. If your plan doesn't work, I'll come up with something." She said as she rubbed my hand with hers. I lied, yes. A necessary evil. I have thought about my second chance mate. I wanted her to be as smart, powerful and loyal as Claire. It would have made a lot of sense if the moon goddess granted Claire as my mate but it would just be a duty. The feelings I had for Claire were next to nothing compared to the anger I had for Leonora. I could see Claire as more of a sister than a partner. Our friendship had spun over a decade and mating would definitely seem ridiculous. I also wouldn't be faithful to her.

I know the kind of man Claire wants and I definitely couldn't do that for her. She would want someone that would be completely loyal to her, to a fault. I, on the other hand, am not attracted to her and I would definitely find someone to satisfy me. Maybe if Leonora finally would be a good girl. I can definitely see myself stealing moments at night with her.

That way, no one would fault me for my attraction to her. She would just be my plaything and I would finally get to use her as I pleased while Claire would be my mate, my rock. We would be powerful together.

But I needed Leonora back first. I needed her here and I'll punish her for disobeying me. For running away. For sending Bethany back here without something positive. For cheating on me.

Yes, she cheated and she must be punished.

And I know the perfect way to punish her.
