7 Days With The Cursed Lycan King The Morning After
She found Silas in the garden.Not the transformed garden of the blood debt, but the real garden, or what passed for real in the Gothic Castle, overgrown hedges and moss-covered statues and a fountain that flowed with water too clear to be natural. He sat on a stone bench, dressed in simple black, his hair still damp from washing, the scar on his face livid in the morning light.He looked up when she approached. His eyes were silver, human, exhausted."You should be resting," he said. "The Echo Price…""I know what it took," she interrupted, sitting beside him, close enough to feel his heat, far enough to maintain the illusion of safety. "My father's face. I can't... I can't see it clearly anymore. I know I had a father. I know his name starts with…" she stopped, frustrated. "I know facts. But the feeling of him is gone. Like he died years ago instead of being alive, being worried, being someone I should remember."Silas was silent for a long moment. Then "I am sorry.""Are you?"He t
7 Days With The Cursed Lycan King The Price Of Calm
She woke in her own bed.She didn't remember walking back. Didn't remember Elira appearing, or guards carrying Silas, or anything after the gray light of dawn. But here she was, in the silk sheets, in her dress stained with blood and dirt and something else she didn't want to identify.The dagger was on her nightstand. The blood-red stone pulsed faintly, slower than her heartbeat, as if satisfied.She sat up. Her head ached. Her hand—the one that had touched Silas's muzzle—burned, and she looked at it and saw a mark: a circle of faint silver, like a brand that hadn't fully formed, centered on her palm.The Echo Price.She knew it immediately, the way you know things in dreams. The library's knowledge, bleeding through. Every time she calmed the beast, the bond deepened. Every time the bond deepened, her human life unraveled.She flexed her hand. The silver circle faded, but didn't disappear.And then she tried to remember her father's face.She could. She was sure she could. Dark hair
7 Days With The Cursed Lycan King The Feral Eclipse (2)
She'd seen him before, on the first night of the first day. But nothing could have prepared her for the this sight. This was close, immediate, the full reality of what centuries of cursed existence had made him.He was massive—eight feet at the shoulder, maybe more, his body a nightmare hybrid of wolf and man and something older. Fur black as the crypt stone, matted with blood that might have been his own. Claws that scraped sparks from the floor. And his face—his face—stretched between forms, the sharp aristocratic bones warped into a muzzle, the silver eyes human and desperate in an inhuman skull.He looked at her. She saw recognition. She saw hunger. She saw the man inside screaming against the beast's control."Silas," she whispered.The name hit him like a physical blow. He staggered, claws raking the stone, a whine escaping his throat that was almost canine, almost pleading."Silas," she said again, louder. "I know you're in there. I saw you. I saw what she did to you. I saw wha
7 Days With The Cursed Lycan King The Feral Eclipse
Kelsey flinched. She hadn't made a sound.Silas turned, and his eyes found her immediately—silver in the moonlight, but rimmed with red, the pupils still dilated from feeding. "I smelled you the moment you entered the garden. Your fear has a particular scent. Sharp. Citrus. Almost appetizing."She stepped from behind the statue, dagger raised. Not to attack—to remind herself she had something, some weapon, some boundary. "You didn't kill her.""Didn't I?" He gestured to the blood on the stone. "She will die within the year. The debt takes more than blood. It takes time. Years compressed into seconds. She gave me ten years of her life tonight. I will give her family protection for a generation. A fair trade, by the standards of my world.""That's monstrous.""Yes." He didn't flinch from the word. "I am a monster, Kelsey Jones. I have told you this. I have shown you this. The question is not whether I am monstrous—the question is whether my monstrosity serves a purpose you can accept, o
7 Days With The Cursed Lycan King The Blood Debt
The sun dipped below the jagged Carpathian peaks, bleeding the sky in deep crimson and violet. Kelsey stood on the eastern balcony long after Elira had left her, gripping the cold stone railing as if it could anchor her to reality. The distant howl she had heard earlier had multiplied. Now the forest below the Castle echoed with a chorus of restless wolves — the packs sensing the growing power of the eclipse.She rubbed her arms against the dropping temperature. The Echo Price was no longer subtle. When she tried to recall the layout of her tiny apartment back in Valemont — the creaky floorboard near the kitchen, the ugly green mug her mother had given her last birthday — the details blurred like an old photograph left in the rain. Fear twisted in her gut. How much of herself was she already losing?Footsteps approached from behind and when she turned, it was a woman dressed in a gown of pale blue that matched her eyes—human eyes, Kelsey realized, not silver. Young, maybe twenty, wit
7 Days With The Cursed Lycan King The Library Of Dead Queens
Kelsey spent the next several hours lost in the vast library of the hidden gothic Castle. The sheer scale of it was overwhelming — shelves that stretched two stories high, connected by narrow iron spiral staircases, filled with leather-bound tomes, fragile scrolls, and artifacts that looked older than most countries. Dust motes danced in the beams of reddish moonlight filtering through the tall arched windows.She told herself she was looking for an escape route or a way to contact the outside world. In reality, she was hunting for answers about Silas, the curse, and why her dreams felt more like memories than nightmares.Her fingers trailed over spines embossed with strange symbols. Some books were written in what looked like Latin mixed with an unknown language. Others had illustrations of massive wolves, shifting forms, and battles between wolf-like beings and figures surrounded by glowing red energy — witches, she assumed.She pulled a volume at random.
