Elara's POV

The days since the engagement ceremony had blurred into a rhythm I was still learning to love.

Wake up. Help the people waiting at the gates. Heal the sick. See the truths hidden in old objects. Stand beside Lucian while the realm learned to trust a White Witch. Fall into bed exhausted. Wake up and do it all again.

But something was wrong.

I felt it in the way Lucian's eyes lingered on me a moment too long sometimes. In the way Gaius would fall silent when I entered a room. In the w

  • Banished By The Alpha King:Claimed By The Cursed Lycan Beast   Chapter 195

    Elara's POVThe moonlight filtered through the curtains, casting silver patterns on the walls. Even the moon here was brighter. I looked at Lucian laying beside me asleep. His breathing was slow and even. He was peaceful. Untroubled. But I could not stop thinking about the forest. About the way his eyes had flickered when I asked what was beyond it. About the way Kylan had looked at me like I was speaking a language he had never heard. About the way no one remembered the seven realms. About the way no one remembered anything before this city. I slipped out of bed. My feet were silent on the wooden floor. I pulled on a cloak and walked to the door. Lucian did not stir. I slipped out into the night. The city was quiet. The streets were empty. The moonlight painted everything silver and grey. I walked past the gardens, past the sleeping houses, past the edge of the city where the cobblestones gave way to grass. I needed to think. I needed to clear my head. I found a river. It was a

  • Banished By The Alpha King:Claimed By The Cursed Lycan Beast   Chapter 194

    Elara's POV The days in this strange place was shorter than normal, the air here was different too. I sat at the window of our cottage, a cup of tea cooling in my hands, watching Arthur chase butterflies in the garden. His laughter drifted through the open window, bright and carefree. Kylan was with him, pretending to be a monster, stumbling and growling while Arthur shrieked with delight. It was perfect. Too perfect. I did not know when the thought had first crept into my mind. Perhaps it had been there all along, buried beneath layers of contentment. But now, in the quiet of the morning, it surfaced like a splinter beneath my skin. I looked around the room. The white walls. The wooden beams. The flowers in the vase on the windowsill. The painting of the meadow on the far wall. It was beautiful. Peaceful. Everything I had ever wanted. But something was wrong. I could not name it. Could not grasp it. But I felt it. A dissonance. A wrongness that hummed beneath the su

  • Banished By The Alpha King:Claimed By The Cursed Lycan Beast   Chapter 193

    Lucian's POVThe birth happened three days after I returned from the forest.I had never been so terrified in my life. Nothing can ever prepare a man for this moment. Watching the woman I love scream in pain, her body straining, her face pale with exhaustion. The women moved around her, their voices calm, their hands steady. I could do nothing. I could only hold her hand and pray. I had never felt so helpless in my entire life."Push," the woman said.Elara screamed. Her grip on my hand was crushing. I did not care. I would have let her break every bone in my hand if it meant she would be okay."One more," the woman urged. "Just one more."Elara's face was red, streaked with sweat and tears. She looked at me, her silver eyes wide with fear and determination."I cannot," she gasped."You can." I pressed my forehead to hers. "You are the strongest person I have ever known. You can do this. I am right here."She pushed.And then we heard it. A cry. Small and fierce and full of life.The h

  • Banished By The Alpha King:Claimed By The Cursed Lycan Beast   Chapter 192

    Lucian's POVThe beast took over without warning.I felt it happening—the crack of bones, the tearing of muscle, the scream that was not quite human. The world went red. The pain was immense, but I did not fight it. I let it consume me. I let it take control.I remembered Darius's face. The triumph in his red eyes. The dagger in his hand, gleaming with enchanted light. Then the blade sinking into my chest.The pain was white-hot and unbearable.Then nothing._____________________I woke in darkness.I was in a forest. The trees were massive, their branches twisted together overhead, blocking out the sky. The ground was thick with moss and fallen leaves. The air was cold and damp.I did not know how I had gotten there.I pushed myself to my feet. My body ached. My chest was tender, but there was no wound. No blood. Just a dull throb where the dagger had pierced me.Then I heard it, a growl. Low and deep, rumbling through the darkness like thunder. It came from everywhere and nowhere, v

  • Banished By The Alpha King:Claimed By The Cursed Lycan Beast   Chapter 191

    Elara's POVI immediately called for the maid waiting outside."Send for Gaius and Gwen. Immediately."The girl nodded and hurried away. I turned back to Lucian, my hand still clasped in his. His breathing was still shallow, still fragile, but the spark inside me pulsed with a faint, steady warmth.The fate sisters had given me enough. Just enough to try.Gaius and Gwen arrived within minutes. Their faces were lined with exhaustion, but their eyes sharpened when they saw the change in me."Something has happened," Gaius said. "You look different.""The fate sisters came," I said. "They told me what I need to do. Lucian's soul is trapped by the beast. I have to go into his mind. I have to find him and bring him back."Gwen stepped forward. "That is dangerous. If you get lost in there—""I will not get lost.""You do not know that."I met his gaze. "I do not care. I can not just give up on him, I have to try."Gwen was quiet for a long moment. Then he nodded. "The ritual is possible. We

  • Banished By The Alpha King:Claimed By The Cursed Lycan Beast   Chapter 190

    Elara's POV I did not remember walking to the room. One moment I was on my knees in the great hall, the dagger in my hand, Lucian's blood on my skin. The next, I was here. The room was small, I don't remember ever being in it before. But I'm certain we were still in the palace. Torches flickered on the stone walls. The air smelled of herbs and blood and something else—something that smelled like death. Lucian lay on the bed. His face was pale, his lips blue. The wound on his chest had closed, but his skin was cold to the touch. His chest rose and fell, but barely. Each breath was shallow, ragged, a battle he was losing. I sat beside him, my hand locked in his. I had not let go. I would not let go. Gaius and Gwen moved around the room, their voices low, their faces grim. They had done everything they could. Herbs, tinctures, prayers to gods I did not believe in. "He is not waking," Gwen said. I did not look up. "Try again." "There is nothing left to try." "Then find something.

  • Banished By The Alpha King:Claimed By The Cursed Lycan Beast   Chapter 182

    Elara's POVWe managed to escape the palace walls unnoticed.The chaos had consumed everything. Smoke billowed from the great hall, black and thick, staining the grey sky. Screams echoed from every direction—some human, some not. Creatures poured through the shattered gates, their twisted bodies mo

  • Banished By The Alpha King:Claimed By The Cursed Lycan Beast   Chapter 181

    Elara's POVThe sound of war erupted from outside the hall.Screams. Metal clashing. The distant roar of something that was not human. It echoed through the stone walls, seeping into the great hall like poison. The guests who had not already fled pressed themselves against the walls, their faces wh

    Elara's POV The dress was beautiful. That was the problem. I stood in front of the full-length mirror in our chambers, turning slowly, watching the fabric catch the light. It was pale silver, almost white, with delicate embroidery that shimmered like moonlight on water. The bodice was fitted, th

  • Banished By The Alpha King:Claimed By The Cursed Lycan Beast   Chapter 177

    Darius's POVThe lair hummed with the sound of machines.I stood at the center of it, my arms crossed, my red eyes fixed on the screens that lined the walls, devices that I'd learned to understand over the past few weeks. Data scrolled past in endless streams—numbers, graphs, images of creatures I
