The ornate door to Aurora’s private quarters closed with a soft thud behind the girls. It was strange, having a room of her own in a palace so massive it could swallow her entire village—but it was tradition, they said, for those who arrived on their eighteenth birthday. A gift, perhaps. Though it didn’t feel like one.

Aurora’s eyes swept over her friends as they flopped onto cushions and velvet lounges. The flickering fire in the corner cast gold against the marble walls and shimmering obsidian trim. Despite the warmth, she shivered.

“I hate that we passed that test,” Bella muttered, tugging her boots off. “They made us face our worst nightmares just to earn the right to keep living. How sick is that?”

Allie nodded, eyes shadowed. “Some of the girls didn’t come back. I saw an empty bed in our hallway.”

“Iris,” Aurora said softly, “I’m glad you stayed with us.”

The blonde girl gave a faint smile. “We’ve made it this far. We stick together now.”

They all murmured in agreement. Aurora r

  • Aurora and the ruthless Lycan king   Chapter 115: steel and sweat pt 2

    The scent of roasted meats and fresh herbs greeted the group as they entered the royal dining hall, the flicker of chandeliers reflecting off polished silver and glass. Though not a formal feast, the kitchen staff had gone out of their way — grilled chicken, roast vegetables, fresh bread, honey-drizzled fruit, and pitchers of cold juice were already laid out on the long mahogany table.Still in casual post-training clothes, the teens filtered in with flushed cheeks and sore muscles, but their laughter echoed through the hall as if they hadn’t just spent the last two hours tearing through drills.Seris dropped into her usual seat between Phoenix and Gabby, stretching her arms before digging into a plate of buttery potatoes. “I might actually pass out after this.”“You’ll have to beat me to it,” Ruby said, plopping beside her with a dramatic groan. “I don’t think I’ve ever sweat that much in my life.”“That was nothing,” Tyler said, sliding into the chair across from her. “Next week Unc

  • Aurora and the ruthless Lycan king   Chapter 114: steel and sweat

    The morning light spilled gently across the stone corridors of the palace as the royals stirred from their slumber. Another school day awaited, but a sense of calm had settled over the palace after the weekend’s bustle. The wind carried a light chill, hinting that autumn was fast approaching.In her room, Seris stood at the mirror, brushing her long, dark hair into a braid. Her eyes caught the glint of morning sun through the window, and for a moment, she paused. The dream she had the night before — one where her Lycan stood proud beside her in a field of snow — still lingered in her chest. She closed her eyes and smiled softly, grounding herself in the warmth of that memory.A knock on her door brought her back. It was Gabby.“Morning, sleepyhead,” Gabby greeted, already dressed and ready. “You’re gonna make us late.”Seris laughed. “I’m five minutes early compared to Lucian.”They both giggled and headed out together, joining the others already in the hall. Phoenix and Lucian were h

  • Aurora and the ruthless Lycan king   Chapter 113: Training AGAIN

    The morning sun filtered softly through the tall windows of the palace as the royals and their friends gathered for breakfast. The weekend’s excitement still lingered in the air, but today marked a return to routine — school days and training ahead. Gabby yawned, stretching her arms wide, already feeling the familiar mix of anticipation and fatigue. “Ugh, Monday already,” she muttered, her eyes scanning the table where Seris and the others were quietly eating. Seris grinned. “At least it’s only a short week. We’ve got a holiday coming up soon.” Across the table, Phoenix and Lucian shared a glance, their expressions unreadable but tense beneath the surface. The conversation with Cato last weekend still lingered in their minds, but they knew today was a fresh start. As the group finished breakfast, Aries arrived, his presence commanding yet warm. “Ready for the day?” he asked, nodding to each of them. “Ready as ever,” Lucian replied, fists clenched lightly. Cato, arriving a momen

  • Aurora and the ruthless Lycan king   Chapter 112: Evening return

    The golden light of late afternoon filtered through the tall palace windows as the group gathered in the main hall, the air humming softly with the day’s lingering energy. Training was done, laughter had been shared, and the palace was beginning to settle into a calmer evening.Aurora and Aries stood near the entrance, speaking quietly with Seris, Phoenix, Lucian, Ruby, Tyler, and Alex, as the time came for Cato and Gabby to leave.“It’s been great having you both here,” Aurora said warmly, her eyes soft with genuine kindness. “You’re welcome back anytime—especially if you want to come early tomorrow for training.”Gabby grinned, brushing a loose strand of hair behind her ear. “Thanks, Aurora. We’ll take you up on that.”Cato nodded, the weight of the weekend’s warmth still settling in his chest. “Yeah, thank you all. It’s been… better than I ever expected.”A royal guard escorted them to a sleek black car waiting just outside the palace doors. The driver opened the back seat, and the

  • Aurora and the ruthless Lycan king   Chapter 112: Sunday morning calm

    The palace was unusually quiet that morning.Soft morning light poured through the high arched windows of the royal wing, warming the velvet drapes and catching the golden details of the long hallway. The usual sounds of armor clinking or patrols shifting were muted—Sundays were slower, softer, almost sacred in their own way.Seris stood barefoot in the royal family room, dressed in one of her comfiest oversized jumpers and leggings, her hair pulled into a loose braid over her shoulder. She looked around the room with a fond smile. The large plush couches were still fluffed from the night before, and there was a comforting smell of chamomile tea and fresh air drifting in from the balcony.Phoenix and Lucian were slouched on one of the couches, still half-asleep, while Ruby and Tyler whispered about what they hoped was for breakfast. Alex was curled up in an armchair with a book, and Baby Aurora—who now firmly reminded everyone she wasn’t a baby—had brought her sketchpad with her and w

  • Aurora and the ruthless Lycan king   Chapter 111: Movie night and a brothers warning

    The theater room was dimly lit, the large screen casting flickering shadows across the cozy space. Plush cushions and blankets were scattered across the floor where the children gathered, eager to unwind after a long day. Seris settled comfortably on a soft cushion, a bowl of popcorn balanced on her lap. Right beside her, Cato sat quietly, his gaze occasionally flickering toward her whenever he thought she wasn’t looking. Gabby laughed softly beside them, nudging Seris. “You picked the movie, right?” Seris nodded, a small smile tugging at her lips. “Yeah, thought we could use something funny after all the drama this week.” Phoenix and Lucian lounged nearby with Ruby and Tyler, their laughter already bubbling as the opening scenes played out. The room filled with the sound of genuine laughter as the movie’s jokes landed perfectly. Between chuckles, Cato’s eyes kept drifting back to Seris, his usual guarded expression softening just a bit. Seris caught his glance once and gave a s
