Enslaved By The Lycan King Chapter 1 Before the storm

Chapter 1: Scarlett

Asher had the sort of smile that could set the world on flames.

Seeing him standing there on the podium with his carefree hair that reflected the beautiful heart I have come to know, brought tears of joy to my eyes to know that I was going to be his forever.

He was the best partner I could have asked for.

It didn't even matter that we didn't feel the mate's bond like Axel and Violet, I liked to believe that we had something special. We loved each other and it was all I could ask for.

"You are the most beautiful bride, Scarlett. I wish your father was here today," Aunt Emily whispered as she led me down the aisle.

Her shaky voice increased the emotions I was already feeling within. She was so happy that she forgot to curse in that one sentence, and I realized that for the first time, my father was mentioned but I didn't feel the usual loneliness I have come to know.

Today, I felt whole again. I had my family, maybe not complete, but we were going to stand together until we found my parents and Blade. But I was whole, not just for my family but for Asher too.

"Thank you, Aunt," he whispered as Aunt Emily passed me to him. He was grinning from ear to ear and the excitement rolling off him tickled me.

"You are welcome," she whispered, before returning to her seat.

My heart was so big in my chest, that I feared it would burst out of cheer and excitement as I slowly raised my eyes to meet Asher's blue ones. My breath caught in my throat as butterflies filled me up.

"You look so beautiful, Scarlett, I made the right choice," he whispered but I was certain everyone in the front row heard him.

A blush spread across my face as he took my hands and led us the rest of the way to the elder, waiting to join us together. Forever.

"Do you, King Asher take Princess Scarlett as your lawfully wedded partner in all challenges of life, in good times and in bad times, until the time comes for you to rest with your ancestors?"

Asher turned his eyes to me and as his fingers tightened around mine, my heart skipped a beat and for the first time since I met him, my wolf moved.

"There will always be good times." Laughter erupted among the audience at his joke, but he didn't take his eyes off me.

Tingles spread across my skin as he stared at me. His eyes were like waves pulling me deep into his soul. Begging me to listen and love him more than I already did. My swollen heart exploded, melting into him, joining with him as one, long before he said the word.

"I will take you and all that is yours. I will love you and all that is yours, Scarlett, until I go to rest. You will be mine. Forever."

Tears danced in my eyes as I knew that he meant every word he said. He loved me and he loved all that was mine. My family, my people, and everything that could affect me in any way, Asher was always there for me. He was perfect for me.

"Do you, Princess Scarlett take King Asher as your lawfully wedded partner-"

"I do," I whispered, cutting off the elder's speech. "I will be by his side through every challenge the world and the realm throw at us. Good or bad, I will love you, Asher."

Asher closed the distance between us and let our lips meet.

My wolf came alive, rolling with excitement as it whispered the word, I thought I would never hear. 'Mate'.

Tears of joy broke through my eyes as I deepened the kiss.

I could still remember when Axel had mentioned Asher's proposal to me. He thought I would refuse it, but I accepted it because it was good for my people. Going into war with a Lycan at the time was not going to do us good. I didn't think I would get to love him. I didn't think my wolf would even feel attracted to him. But here I was, kissing my lover and my mate.

Asher broke the kiss and stared deeply into my eyes. "You make me so high..." He sank his teeth into his bottom lip and my stomach tightened. "I can't wait to bed you, Scarlett..."

His dark wolf flashed within his eyes, and I forgot how to take in air. He smiled and took hold of my hand, leading me to the people, now standing to congratulate us.

"Congratulations!" They chorused as we went down the aisle.

Flowers were thrown at us, and I became overwhelmed with emotions. It was just like I had imagined as a little girl. A wedding day that was supposed to be my fantasy. My dreams and Asher gave it to me.

Outside the party, Axel had prepared had already started. We were led to the high table and Axel came to hug me.

"I am so proud of you Scarlett," he whispered as he pressed a kiss to my forehead.

"Careful the way you hold my wife Axelo," Asher teased, and Violet smacked his hand playfully.

"You can always have your revenge by holding Violet instead," Uncle Greg added and everyone at the table laughed.

It was a beautiful moment and I prayed to the goddess that this was a memory we could recreate every day.

"We should start preparing to leave. We have a long journey ahead of us," Asher said above the music and Axel frowned.

"Why not spend a few days with us?"

Asher's hand slipped over mine and he smiled as our eyes met. "I will want to spend forever here. But I have been away for too long and I must consummate this union..."

Heated flooded my face at his words and Aunt Emily let out a whistle that caused even more excitement to flash across the table.

"Scarlett has a room here you know-"

"Axel!" I cried out, shutting his words out. But my protest only caused more laughter.

"You are making your sister shy, Axel," Violet said as she tried to stop a very excited Baby Blade from scratching off his cute little hat off his head.

"I really would love to stay but it is a tradition I must respect."

"So, you must fuck your wife on the same bed as your forefathers?" Aunt Emily blurted out and everyone erupted in laughter. My aunt was truly without a filter in her mouth.

The chatter and laughter continued until late in the evening when everyone decided to release us. Asher led me into his waiting escort and after saying my goodbyes and promising to visit, we zoomed off into the evening.

Asher took my hand, increasing the butterflies in my stomach as we headed to his land.

I was quiet as my mind tried to think of other things aside from what was going to happen the moment we got to his place. Excitement was eating through me, and I feared I would make a fool of myself.

What if I wasn't good enough? What if he regretted marrying me?

My hands grew cold, and I could only hope that Asher didn't pay any attention to me as he sat close to me, operating his phone with his free hand.

When the human revolution happened, I was given off as a maid and my wolf was drugged to the point, that I barely felt her. I knew no one. I had no one -except one friend. I thought I had lost everyone. So I stayed in the shadows as much as I could till Uncle Greg had found me that day.

The Lycan princess everyone thought I was, was long dead. I was barely a girl holding on to the ropes of my existence until Asher came. He gave me a new reason to be happy and today, I felt my wolf come alive.

He was truly the perfect one. A match even the goddess wanted to be made.

"What are you thinking about?" His voice gently crawled into my thoughts, and I blinked back to reality with a smile on my face.

I shook my head gently. "It's nothing, really," I lied, not wanting to bother him.

"It's obvious that you are thinking Scarlett and..." His hand slowly slipped out of mine, and he rested further in his seat. "If I were you, I would think hard about this union though. Who knows what I might turn into?"

Confusion flashed through my eyes as I tried to figure out if he was joking or being serious.

The glint in his eyes was no longer as carefree as it used to be. They looked serious and the blues were now a darker shade.

"What are you talking about, Asher?"

The vehicle chose that moment to come to a stop and an unsettling smile filled Asher's face. "You will find soon enough my wife."

I went to the City Clerk’s office for a routine copy of my marriage license to finalize a trust fund audit. I expected a simple piece of paper, but the clerk’s pitying look told me my entire life was a lie. "The license was never finalized, Ms. Oliver. In the eyes of the state, you are single." The three-hundred-guest wedding at the Plaza and the Vogue features meant nothing. My husband, Gray Cooley, had intentionally filed the documents with a "procedural defect" so he could discard me without a legal divorce. Moments later, an iCloud invite titled "Our Little Secret" popped up on my screen. It was a photo of my best friend, Brylee, holding a positive pregnancy test at our Hamptons estate. Gray’s text to her was the final blow: "Happy anniversary, babe. This baby is the best gift. Once the trust unlocks today, we’re done with the charade." I soon discovered they were even stealing my career, reassigning my architectural masterpiece to Brylee while preparing my eviction notice. Gray's mother called me a "barren mule" in a leaked recording, mocking the infertility I suffered after saving Gray’s life in a construction accident. I wasn't a wife; I was a three-year placeholder used to secure his inheritance. How could the man I bled for treat me like a disposable prop? How could my best friend carry his child while pretending to comfort me through my darkest moments? The betrayal burned until it turned into a cold, hard stone of fury. I didn't cry. Instead, I walked into the penthouse of the Barretts, the Cooleys' most powerful rivals. I signed a marriage contract with Kane Barrett, the man the tabloids called the "Beast of Wall Street." "I want a wedding," I told his father, my voice steady and lethal. "Bigger than the one I had with Gray." If they wanted me gone, they would have to watch me become the woman who owns their world.

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.

I was the titan of Wall Street until an indictment and an ankle monitor turned my penthouse into a gilded cage. To save face, I was forced into a marriage with Elza, a "mute" girl from the Schmidt family whom I treated as nothing more than a silent piece of furniture while my empire crumbled. The night I was poisoned at a high-society gala, a mysterious server in an oversized uniform saved my life with terrifying, clinical precision. They disappeared into the night, leaving me with a silver cufflink and a burning obsession to find the shadow who held my life in their hands. Back home, I took my frustration out on Elza, telling her she was "exhausting to look at" and "smelled like sickness" after her charity visits. Her own family treated her like a stray dog, trying to humiliate her at the next gala by dressing her in what they claimed was a cheap knockoff while whispering to the press that she was nothing but a high-end escort. "Stay out of my way," I would growl at her, never noticing the steel in her eyes. I sat at my table, watching my rivals' stocks plummet and wondering who "The Zero"—the legendary financial ghost—really was. I never suspected that the woman I ignored was the same one solving the equations that were currently burning Manhattan to the ground. The injustice peaked when Elza stood before the city's elite, not as a victim, but as a queen. She dropped over a hundred million dollars to buy back her family’s legacy, revealing a secret fortune that made my own empire look like pocket change. As I grabbed her wrist and saw the small red mole hidden beneath her watch, the truth hit me like a physical blow. The silent wife I had despised was the savior I had been hunting, and she was finally done playing the victim. "We have a lot to talk about, wife," I whispered, realizing I had been sleeping next to the most dangerous woman in the world.
