Accidentally Marked By The Lycan King Chapter 172: The Breaking Point
Ronan’s POVI had seen kings fall before. Not by blade. Not by poison. But by grief.And as I watched Xavier pace the length of the war chamber for what had to be the hundredth time that night, I realized with a sinking certainty that the Lycan King was standing dangerously close to that edge.Three days.Three long, suffocating days since Alara had disappeared.Three days since that cursed letter had been found in Xavier’s study.And in those three days, Xavier had barely slept. Barely eaten. Barely spoken.He hunted, constantly, through reports, through maps., through every whisper and rumor that our scouts brought back from the forests.Marcus, his Lycan, had grown quieter with each passing hour. But it wasn’t calm. It was the silence of a predator waiting for blood.I leaned against the stone wall of the chamber, arms folded across my chest as Xavier stopped pacing and slammed both hands onto the war table.The maps scattered slightly beneath the impact. “There has to be something
Accidentally Marked By The Lycan King Chapter 171: Echoes of Rage
Xavier’s POVThe letter was still in my hand when Ronan found me. I hadn’t realized how long I had been standing there in the study, staring at the words as if they might somehow change if I looked long enough.They didn’t. Alara was gone.Marcus paced inside my mind like a caged beast, his fury rattling against my control.‘Find her.’“I will.”‘Now.’The door to my study burst open.“Xavier—”Ronan stopped mid-step when he saw the state of the room. The desk was splintered. The chair had been knocked aside. The letter lay crumpled in my fist like a death sentence.His eyes narrowed. “What happened?”I didn’t answer. Instead, I held the parchment out.He crossed the room quickly and took it from me. The silence that followed as he read was thick enough to choke on.By the time his eyes reached the final line, his jaw had gone rigid.“Well,” he muttered darkly. “That explains why Alara isn’t in the palace.”Marcus snarled. ‘We waste time.’“I’m going after her,” I said. My voice didn’
Accidentally Marked By The Lycan King Chapter 170: The Letter
Xavier’s POVThe ride back to the palace felt longer than the journey out. No one spoke. Not Rylan. Not Ronan. Not the warriors who had followed me into the ruins with the same burning hope that we would return with the twins.Hope had a strange way of dying quietly. No dramatic moments. No loud realization. Just a slow, suffocating silence that settled into the bones.My hands tightened around the reins as the palace gates finally came into view beneath the pale light of dawn.Marcus was restless. ‘Something is wrong.’“I know,” I muttered under my breath.Ronan glanced sideways at me from his horse. “You say something?”“No.”He studied me for a moment before looking ahead again.The guards at the gate straightened the moment they saw us approaching. Their expressions faltered slightly when they noticed the empty formation.The gates creaked open slowly.As we rode inside the courtyard, the palace began waking to life. Servants moved hurriedly through the halls. Warriors exchanged q
Accidentally Marked By The Lycan King Chapter 169: Blood in the Ruins
Xavier’s POVLeaving Alara behind was one of the hardest things I had done in my life.She had argued. Gods, she had argued.Her eyes had burned with the same fury that lived inside my chest as she stood in the war room, refusing to step aside while we prepared to march.“I’m coming with you.” The words had not been a request.I could still hear them echoing in my mind as our army moved through the night.“You’re not,” I had replied.Her jaw had tightened. “They’re my children too.”Marcus had stirred violently at that. ‘She is right.’But logic had won over instinct. “They will need you when we bring them back,” I told her quietly. “And if something goes wrong tonight… the kingdom cannot lose both of us.”Alara’s gaze had searched mine for a long moment. Then she had whispered the words that still clawed at my chest even now.“Bring them home.”I had pressed my forehead against hers. “I will.”And now—The forest stretched before us like a battlefield waiting to be claimed.Rylan led
Accidentally Marked By The Lycan King Chapter 168: The Seventh Night
Alara’s POVSeven days.Seven days since the night the palace had erupted into chaos.Seven days since the beds of my children had been found empty.Seven days since the hunt had begun.And still… there was no sign of them.The war room smelled like exhaustion.Maps covered the long oak table in overlapping layers, marked with ink circles, claw scratches, and hastily written notes. Candles had burned down to small puddles of wax along the edges, their flames flickering weakly against the stone walls.The room had not slept. Neither had we.Outside the tall windows, the forest stretched endlessly beneath the grey morning sky, cold and silent like it had been all week.I stood near the table, staring at the latest map Ronan had brought in hours earlier. It was marked with dozens of search paths, patrol routes, and areas already cleared by the warriors.Every inch of land we could reach had been combed through. And still we had found nothing.My fingers tightened slightly around the edge
Accidentally Marked By The Lycan King Chapter 167: The Broken Mark
Xavier’s POVThe forest smelled like blood. Rogue blood, corrupted and rotten.It lingered thick in the air behind us as we moved forward again, leaving the bodies scattered across the dark soil. None of us spoke. The silence between us wasn’t calm — it was sharp, coiled tight with the kind of focus that comes before another fight.Marcus paced restlessly beneath my skin.‘Move faster.’“I’m trying.”The trail ahead remained faint but clear enough. The rogues had moved in a group, their corrupted scent carving a path through the trees like a wound through the forest despite being shaded, covered.But it wasn’t their scent I was following.It was Lucian. Every mark he carved into the trees pulled us forward like a silent promise. He was still thinking, still fighting, still leaving a path home.The thought filled my chest with both pride and fury.Ronan slowed slightly as he scanned the ground ahead.“They changed direction,” he muttered.I stepped beside him.The rogue tracks had shif
