After Betrayal: A False Heir for the Lycan King 23
MAXIMUSMy heart thundered in my chest as I sprinted towards the packhouse with Elodie in my arms. The sun was beginning to rise, and someone could easily spot us, but I still couldn’t bring myself to stop. Right now, her safety came first.“Elodie, can you hear me? You can, right? Just hang in there.” I had never sounded so tense and panicked as I did rushing her inside. The gate shut behind me, guards rushing after me from different directions to lend a hand but I refused. I held her even tightly in my arms, and I didn’t miss the way her body burned. Shit, her condition was becoming even more critical. “Get the pack doctor. Now!” I doubled my pace and yelled to whoever was listening, my voice urgent. I had no idea whether my scream was what alerted my Beta of my arrival, but Eros was suddenly at my side, throwing open the door to Elodie’s room. I let out a quiet breath of gratitude before carrying her inside.I murmured a quiet thanks and buried inside. My hands trembled as I ca

ELODIEMy body twitched into consciousness, and before I could even open my eyes, tears were streaking down my face. I had woken up, and the effect of the wolfsbane had died down but as far as I was still trapped here, it was nothing to be celebrated. To make matters worse, I couldn’t see any sign I’d be leaving this place alive, let alone anytime soon. Cassidy had refused to explain why she’d brought me here, but before her men injected me with wolfsbane, she’d made one thing abundantly clear… I wasn’t walking out of here alive.My thoughts drifted to the Lycan King. He had probably assumed I’d run off because of the revelation he’d made. I couldn’t blame him if he hadn’t even tried to look for me.My body burning, I forced myself to rise from the cold ground. But barely a second on my feet, and I collapsed on my butt, my back knocking against the wall. The pain that rushed through me at the impact was downright guttural. Yet I couldn’t let it have its way. Not when I had this pre

MAXIMUSWhile I thought my new Luna vanishing into thin air had made the rest of the wedding night horrible, my Beta informing me Cassidy was the one who had kidnapped her officially turned the day to an absolute nightmare. “Take care of everything here.” I instructed Eros, my voice bouncing off the walls of my chamber as I stood up from the couch and threw on a jacket. “Where are you going? Don’t tell me it’s…” He faltered, shaking his head as quickly as he fathomed where I was headed. “No, I should be the one to go instead.” He said, and he sounded like he wasn’t going to accept otherwise. Still I proceeded to the door, my eye shooting to his form as he ambled after me. “I lived with her long enough to know all her moves. If anyone can find her, it’s me, Eros.” I told him seriously, raising my hand to stop him from taking further steps. Elodie had disappeared, and Cassidy had supposedly taken her. But that was all Eros knew. I didn’t have any other information either but I had

ELODIEI regained consciousness. My eyes opened, taking in where I was, only for my heart to start pounding like a drum in my chest. I couldn’t recognize this place. Where was I? My eyes darted around, hands gripping hard against the sheets like that would make everything clear. It didn’t. The last thing I remembered was slumping in the garden, and blanking out. Whatever happened after that, I racked my brain but I couldn’t remember. What I knew however was that I needed to escape from here. Zane was the last person I spoke with. I might have thought he left, but he could just as easily have come back. Finding me lying there vulnerable and unable to fight back, he could have brought me here. I didn’t want to speculate on his motives when none of the possibilities that came to mind were good.So I sat up quickly. I realized the bed was farther from the floor too late. I dropped my feet down only to crash down on the floor. I felt a shot of pain. A winch threatened to escape, but I

MAXIMUS I burst out of my room without looking back. Ethan, the guard shut the door behind him, and the sound of his boots urgently followed me down the hallway. Just earlier this morning, I was able to perceive Elodie’s scent. Something that baffled me, as that was meant to signify she was my mate. I had dimissed it then, counted it as a mistake the moon goddess would undo in a matter of time. But now, I badly wanted to catch her scent again, just for the last time. Because with it, I knew I could be able to trace and find her. Wherever she was. My wolf surged the second we reached the guards’ wings. Before Ethan could move to open one of the doors, it was unlocked from inside and numerous guards flooded out of the rooms with the speed of wolves who knew they were in a deep mess. I let the silence stretch, enough to course more unsettleness in them before I glowered. “Where is the missing queen?” As I asked, my gaze ran over each one of them, studying them like they were somet

ELODIEAfter the Lycan king left my room, I stepped out. My legs felt heavy beneath me as I dragged my feet across the hallway, in search of somewhere secluded to stay. My room was, but it strangely felt suffocating in there. I needed somewhere where I could breath and think clearly and the garden was just that. Unfortunately, I met a guard on the way who insisted on escorting me. Since it was late in the night, I couldn’t gaze at the flowers and take in their beauty. All I could do was sit in silence with my thoughts. I haven’t forgotten that note. If I were to consider it, I would have gone back inside by now but the guard was still in the vicinity and just maintaining his distance from me so I could have my privacy. I sighed, letting myself lay down on the grass. As I stared up at the moonlight, my hand subconsciously found my stomach. What was the point of not giving the child in me to Lycan Maximus? Zane might own the child but it doesn’t matter anymore. Before he rejected m

MAXIMUS“Yes.” I said flatly and without hesitation, not bothering to hide my intention any more. She stared at me, stunned. And then… “Why are you just telling me now?” Elodie backed away, looking like she was barely holding herself together. I expected this. She looked like I was about to snat

ELODIEThroughout the wedding and my coronation, my body was numb, as though ice had replaced the blood in my veins. I shouldn’t marry the Lycan king? The words were short and simple, but that only made it more threatening. For the sender to have been driven to warn me off, clearly, there was more

ELODIE“The wedding will take place in a week.” I fought hard not to show my excitement but it couldn’t be helped. A smile broke out on my face. Suddenly, sitting through dinner with the Lycan Maximus no longer felt unsettling. Or maybe it still did, and the news just made it worthwhile. By dawn

ELODIEMy heart was pounding and I could barely think straight as a maid came up to me and led me away to a room. One she said was now mine. It felt like everything was crashing down on me all at once, and I wanted to run, far away where I could scream but all I could do was give her a tight slipp
