Accidentally Marked By The Lycan King Chapter 264: One Moment
Selena's POVFor the third time that week, I found myself thinking about Lucian. It wasn’t because he had done something particularly interesting or said something remarkably profound. It wasn't even because he was the future King and the entire kingdom revolved around him. No, the reality of the situation was much worse.I couldn't stop thinking about the look on his face by the lake two nights ago. Which was ridiculous. Lucian always looked exactly the same: calm, controlled, and annoyingly composed. Yet something had shifted that night. For a fleeting moment, when we were sitting together beneath the silver moonlight, all those formidable walls he’d spent his entire life building had seemed just a little thinner.Ever since then, my thoughts had become increasingly difficult to manage. Which was precisely why I currently found myself glaring at a leather training dummy as though it were personally responsible for my psychological crisis."You look disturbed."I groaned loudly with
Accidentally Marked By The Lycan King Chapter 263: The Pull
Lucian's POVThe palace felt noticeably quieter after the Festival of Moon. The frantic energy had finally dissolved. The endless stream of visiting alphas, fierce warriors, pompous nobles, and allied pack leaders that had choked every grand hallway for weeks had finally begun to disappear.By sunrise, the grand delegations were already departing in droves. Carriages painted with foreign crests rolled through the iron gates, warriors mounted restless horses, and pack representatives exchanged their final formal farewells. The kingdom was slowly returning to its usual rigid rhythm.From my position atop the high stone battlements of the western wall, I watched the massive procession snake its way out of the valley. The crisp morning wind tugged at my hair and cooled my skin. It should have felt entirely normal.Instead, a strange sensation pricked at the back of my mind. Something felt fundamentally off, though I couldn't explain or identify what it was. It was the exact same feeling th
Accidentally Marked By The Lycan King Chapter 262: Festival of Moons (II)
Artemis’s POVI was having a perfectly reasonable, thoroughly enjoyable evening. Until Cassian found me. Once again.At this point, I was beginning to suspect he possessed some sort of illegal, supernatural tracking ability to locate me regardless of where I hid in this massive palace. It was a highly disturbing possibility."You look absolutely lovely tonight, Artemis," he said, stepping into my line of sight with a devastatingly handsome smile.I groaned immediately, rolling my eyes. "No."Cassian appeared genuinely offended, pressing a hand to his chest. "No?""No."His grin only widened, flashing straight, white teeth. "That isn't how compliments are supposed to work.""It is when they're coming from you," I retorted.Several nearby guests overheard the exchange and laughed softly. I marked them all as traitors in my mind. Cassian placed his hand dramatically over his heart, tilting his head. "You wound me deeply, engineering such cruelty on a night like this.""Good. I aim to pl
Accidentally Marked By The Lycan King Chapter 261: Festival of Moons (I)
Selena's POVThe Festival of Moons had always sounded like an ancient fairy tale whenever the pack elders described it in whispered, reverent tones. I just hadn’t expected the reality to be quite so overwhelming.The entire Lycan kingdom seemed utterly transformed, stripped of its usual severe, militaristic edge. Hundreds of silver lanterns floated seamlessly throughout the grand palace grounds, suspended by a delicate combination of ancient moon magic and meticulous Lycan craftsmanship. Their glowing, ethereal lights illuminated the evening sky, washing over the stone architecture and turning the night into something vividly dreamlike. Music drifted through every open courtyard, interwoven with the rare sound of laughter echoing across the manicured gardens. Warriors who normally looked terrifyingly intimidating were smiling, their broad shoulders relaxed. Children darted between decorated pathways, their hands sticky with moon-shaped honey sweets, while even the usually serious, s
Accidentally Marked By The Lycan King Chapter 260: The Anchor
Xavier's POVBeing the Lycan King taught you many things: patience, discipline, control, and the critical ability to read people long before they spoke. It was a necessary skill when leading a kingdom, a survival tactic when raising children, and an absolute requirement when one of those children happened to be Lucian.Most people looked at my son and saw raw, intimidating power. They saw the shadows, the unyielding calm exterior, the future Alpha, and the royal heir. I saw something else. I saw every minute change, every emotional shift, and every subtle crack in the walls he had spent years building around himself.Which was exactly how I knew something had fundamentally changed.The realization struck me one afternoon as I stood overlooking the training grounds from the palace balcony. Below us, warriors sparred in organized groups, commands echoing through the dust of the arena in their usual structured chaos. Lucian stood near the center of it all, observing, correcting, and teac
Accidentally Marked By The Lycan King Chapter 259: The Crescent Princess
Artemis's POVI was beginning to hate dreams. Not because they were frightening, but because they refused to leave me alone. Even now, hours after waking, I could still hear that strange woman's voice echoing inside my head.“The moon remembers.”I sat beneath an ancient willow tree overlooking the palace lake, staring blankly at the water. The breeze carried the crisp scent of pine and wildflowers. Normally, I loved this place; normally, it helped me think. Today, it wasn't helping at all. Questions circled endlessly inside my mind. Who was that woman? Why did her voice feel like something I had heard before? And most importantly, what exactly was happening to my powers?Ever since the incident at the training grounds, things had felt completely different. My crescent powers felt stronger, more dangerous and way less predictable.I buried my face in my hands. The memory alone made me groan. Three young warriors had been sent flying across the arena because I had lost control for a
Accidentally Marked By The Lycan King Chapter 35: Interrogation Interrupted
Alara’s POVThe entrance of Xavier, in that state of barely contained Lycan fury, was like a physical shockwave. I barely registered the destroyed iron door or the scattered guards outside; all my focus was on him. His Lycan’s growl rolled through the chamber like destructive thunder, promising viol

Alara’s POVThe morning sun beat down on the vast, scorched expanse of the training grounds, warm and utterly relentless. But the external heat was nothing compared to the focused, burning intensity simmering in my veins. After the chaos of the last twenty-four hours — Astrid awakening, Xavier retur

Alara’s POVMarcus didn’t move.Not even when the horizon softened into the faded pinks of dusk, illuminating the ruined steps where we sat. Not when Rylan cleared his throat for the dozenth time, clearly battling professional decorum and the need to tell his King to stop being a stubborn beast. Not

Xavier’s POVThe Council chambers had been a pit of recycled threats and hollow authority, but the true torment wasn't the hours of political sparring. It was the rage beating against my own skull, a furious, localized throb emanating not from my mind. But it belonged to someone else.Alara.I had f
