Xavier’s POV

The scent hit me first — wrong, oily, metallic, and slithering through the corridors like a smear of rot. It didn’t belong anywhere in my wing, not in the guarded heart of the palace, not within twenty steps of where Alara slept.

My Lycan surged to the surface before my mind could fully catch up. ‘Intruder. Close.’

I moved swiftly, silently, the marble beneath my boots absorbing each step like the palace itself understood the danger creeping through its spine. I followed the stench

  • 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 267: Something Between Us (II)

    Artemis’s POV"Sit down," I ordered.Cassian blinked. "That sounded suspiciously like a royal command.""It is. Sit."To my surprise, he actually obeyed, lowering himself onto the bench slowly, with just enough dramatic flair to suggest he considered himself nobility among the wounded. I crouched down in front of him, actively ignoring the fact that several nearby healers had paused their duties to watch us. I told myself to ignore them.One of the senior healers stepped forward in alarm. "Princess, you're not meant to use your—""I know," I interrupted smoothly."But the King specifically said—""I know.""The crescent power boundaries—""I said, I know."That successfully shut everyone up. Nobody needed to keep reminding me that my father had strictly forbidden me from using my unique crescent powers for casual healing unless it was an absolute emergency. He always claimed it dangerously blurred the boundaries between emotion and royal responsibility. He said I used the magic too

  • Accidentally Marked By The Lycan King   Chapter 266: Something Between Us (I)

    Artemis's POVI was beginning to suspect the universe thoroughly enjoyed embarrassing me. Not in a poetic, grandly dramatic way, but in a deeply personal, entirely malicious way.It all started during afternoon combat training, which already felt fundamentally unfair because mandatory military drilling should not be allowed to double as public entertainment. Yet somehow it did, mostly because half the palace staff and visiting nobility always seemed to mysteriously gather around the upper gallery whenever Cassian showed up. Or, maybe that was just my own hyper-fixated problem. He was ridiculous enough to attract a crowd without even trying. It was deeply, profoundly annoying.I stood with my arms tightly crossed over my chest on the upper stone gallery, trying very hard to pretend I was only there because I happened to enjoy analyzing advanced martial tactics. It was a lie, a very bad one.Cassian was below in the dusty arena, sparring against a massive eastern warrior while several

    Xavier’s POV‘Preparation does not always roar.It tightens.It sharpens.It makes quiet adjustments that only become visible when it’s too late to undo them.’Three days after Midnight bled, the estate no longer felt like a sanctuary. It felt like a command center.Scouts rotated in disciplined si

    Ronan’s POVThe first sign of retaliation was not a howl. It was silence, absolute.I was at the private estate when it happened, reviewing patrol rotations with Xavier, adjusting border contingencies in case the council moved faster than expected.

    Xavier’s POVThe summons arrived at dawn. It did not come by messenger. It came by mark.The council’s crest burned into the outer ward stone as the sun crested the horizon, silver fire carving precise lines into ancient granite. Warriors scrambled to defensive positions before they realized what i

    Alara’s POVThe first thing I noticed was the heat.Not the gentle warmth that had returned to my body since Xavier came back into my life, not the quiet comfort of shared space and steady breaths, but something sharper. Constant. As if an ember had been lodged beneath my skin and refused to dim.T
