Ronan’s POV

Neutrality is a myth wolves tell themselves when they still believe reason can outweigh ambition.

I believed it once, not fully though.

I was never naive enough to think the council’s appetite would quiet simply because Xavier stepped aside from their politics. But I believed there was still room for negotiation. A line between confrontation and collapse.

After the courtyard battle, after Marcus bowed and the wolves retreated, I stood with Xavier in the fractured eastern wing.

  • Accidentally Marked By The Lycan King   Chapter 273: The Human Problem

    Xavier's POVThe palace was quiet — far quieter than it had any right to be. I stood beside the tall windows of my study, overlooking the sprawling royal training grounds below. The afternoon sun bathed the palace grounds in a deceptively warm, golden hue. Elite warriors drilled in tight formations, servants moved rhythmically about their daily duties, and young heirs from allied packs occupied the courtyards. Everything appeared perfectly normal. Yet, my attention remained fixed entirely on a single figure: Selena. She was crossing the meticulously kept gardens below alongside Artemis. The two girls were locked in what looked like an animated argument.Even from this distance, I could see Selena laughing, completely unaware that she was currently the sole subject of my deepest concerns.Marcus stirred uneasily within me. My ancient Lycan beast had been restless for days, ever since the volatile incident in the training arena where Lucian's shadows had reacted to her presence. I wa

  • Accidentally Marked By The Lycan King   Chapter 272: The Weight of Tomorrow

    Alara's POVI found Xavier exactly where I expected him to be: in his study, working again. At this point, I was beginning to suspect the man had a secret ability to sense paperwork from several miles away. The moment a report existed, Xavier somehow appeared beside it like magic. The doors to his study stood partially open, letting soft light spill into the corridor. I paused briefly before entering, just watching him. He sat behind the massive desk that had once belonged to kings before him, surrounded by stacks of documents, maps, reports, and letters of kingdom business. Yet, despite everything spread across the desk, I noticed one thing immediately: he wasn't reading. The parchment in his hands remained untouched, his gaze distant and focused somewhere else entirely. He was worrying, doing the exact same thing I had been doing all evening.His Lycan sensed me first. Marcus stirred beneath the surface, warm and familiar, before Xavier finally looked up. The moment he saw me, so

  • Accidentally Marked By The Lycan King   Chapter 271: What Cannot Be Healed

    Artemis's POVI hated being injured because everyone suddenly treated me differently. Mother became protective, Father became overprotective, and Lucian became unbearable.And apparently, Cassian had decided to become my personal caretaker.The last part was somehow the most annoying and the most dangerous, mostly because I wasn't entirely sure I disliked it. The realization alone made me want to throw something, preferably at him. Unfortunately, he was currently helping me, which complicated matters greatly.I sat cross-legged on the window seat in my chambers while the afternoon sunlight filtered through the glass. The worst of my injuries were already healing; Lycan blood ran strong through my veins, even if I wasn't a full Lycan. The bruises from the arena incident had faded significantly, and most of the cuts were shallow. It wasn't anything serious. Still, the healer had insisted I apply a medicinal salve to the scratches scattered across my arms and shoulders.It was a task I

  • Accidentally Marked By The Lycan King   Chapter 270: The Girl Who Terrified Me

    Cassian's POVI had been stabbed before, thrown from horses, punched by warriors twice my size. Once, when I was ten, I'd fallen out of a tree trying to impress a girl and broken my arm. The girl hadn't been impressed. But the point was, I wasn't particularly fragile. Which was why being blasted across a room by Artemis should have bothered me less than it did. Not because it hurt, but because it had me scared on her behalf. The thought lingered as I stood outside her chambers long after midnight. The palace corridors were quiet; most of the kingdom had already retired for the night. After the disaster in the arena earlier, everyone had been tense. The Seer had spent hours speaking privately with King Xavier and Luna Alara. Lucian hadn't left Artemis's side until Luna practically forced him out. Even then, he'd looked guilty enough to challenge himself to a duel. The poor idiot. It wasn't his fault, not really.I stared at the closed door, sighed, and then stared some more. This was

  • Accidentally Marked By The Lycan King   Chapter 269: Dangerous Combination

    Lucian's POVSomething felt wrong the moment Father sealed the arena. The royal training grounds were enormous, typically built to hold hundreds of warriors during intensive military drills. Today, they stood completely empty. Dozens of elite Lycan warriors occupied every single entrance. Ancient runes glowed intensely across the surrounding stone walls, and shimmering protective barriers vibrated overhead. No one was allowed inside.At least, that had been the original plan. Unfortunately, Cassian had never been particularly fond of rules, and neither had Selena.I wasn't surprised when I spotted two familiar figures trying to hide behind one of the eastern support pillars. They weren't succeeding, not even slightly. I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose.Beside me, Artemis followed my gaze. "Oh, for the love of the Moon."Father mirrored my frustration, while Mother looked suspiciously amused. Uncle Rylan outright laughed. "Should we throw them out?""Good luck with that," Artemi

  • Accidentally Marked By The Lycan King   Chapter 268: Jealousy

    Lucian's POVI did not get jealous. At least, that was the lie I repeated to myself for nearly an hour. Unfortunately, the evidence suggested otherwise.The training grounds were unusually crowded that afternoon. With many of the younger heirs remaining at the Lycan Palace for advanced training, the arena had become a constant battlefield of sparring matches, competitions, and bruised egos. In one corner, Cassian was currently making a fool of himself, while Artemis looked one sarcastic comment away from throwing him off a cliff.I should have been focused on my own training session. Instead, my attention kept drifting to Selena, and the person standing beside her.Alpha heir Adrian Blackthorne, future Alpha of the Western Ridge Pack, tall, confident, popular, and rather annoying. I didn’t particularly dislike him until today, but today I was reconsidering."What did Adrian ever do to you?"I nearly jumped. Turning, I found Artemis standing beside me, arms crossed, looking far too ob

  • Accidentally Marked By The Lycan King   Chapter 108: The Shape of Want

    Xavier’s POVThe house had gone quiet, but it was a deceptive, suffocating kind of silence. It wasn't the gentle, breathing peace that settled over the estate when Alara read to the twins, or the soft hush that followed Artemis’s

  • Accidentally Marked By The Lycan King   Chapter 111: A Soft Morning

    Alara’s POVI woke up to warmth.Not the dull, lonely warmth of blankets that had gone cold hours ago — but the steady, living heat of another body curled around mine, a solid chest at my back, an arm firm and unyielding around my waist, the slow rise and fall of breath against my hair.For one bli
