Elara’s POV

The next morning my leg felt stronger. The sharp pain had dulled to a manageable ache, and I could walk without limping too obviously. I refused to stay trapped in that room any longer.

I found Kylan in the main corridor and asked him directly. “Will you take me to the library today?”

He smiled, warm as always. “Of course. I’d be happy to show you around.”

We walked side by side through the long hallways. The palace was quieter in the morning light, servants moving with soft steps a

  • Banished By The Alpha King:Claimed By The Cursed Lycan Beast   Chapter 130

    Darius's POVThe pack house was quiet when we arrived.I had sent word ahead, instructed the servants to prepare the best room. Fresh linens. A fire in the hearth. Flowers on the table. Everything Elara would need to feel safe, comfortable, dependent.She looked around the room with wide eyes, touching the curtains, the blankets, the white rose in the crystal vase."This is too much," she said."It is not enough." I walked to the window and pulled the curtains closed. "You have been through a great deal. You need rest."She nodded, still looking around like she could not believe any of this was real.Good. Let her be overwhelmed. Let her be grateful."There is someone I want you to meet," I said. "She will handle your needs while you are here."I walked to the door and opened it."Come in."Liora stepped inside.Her golden hair was pulled back, her gown simple and unadorned. I had stripped her of her finery, her jewels, her status. This was her punishment. For the lies. The deception.

  • Banished By The Alpha King:Claimed By The Cursed Lycan Beast   Chapter 129

    Elara's POVWe left the coven in a rush.I did not understand why. One moment I was sitting on the bed, trying to remember something—anything—about who I was supposed to be. The next, Darius was in my doorway, his face tight, his voice urgent."We need to leave. Now."He did not explain. Did not wait for questions. He grabbed a bag, took my hand, and pulled me toward the door. Horses were waiting outside, saddled and ready. He lifted me onto one before I could protest."The people hunting you have found us," he said, swinging onto his own horse. "We cannot stay here."Fear prickled down my spine. I gripped the reins and held on as we rode.We traveled for hours. Through forests, across streams, up winding paths that seemed to lead nowhere. The sun climbed higher, then began its slow descent. My body ached. My head throbbed. But I did not complain.Darius had saved me. Taken care of me. Fed me when I was hungry and bandaged my wounds when I was hurt. He said people were hunting me, try

    Lucian's POVThe coven was a ghost town.I stood in the center of the empty clearing, surrounded by nothing but trees and shadows and the lingering smell of magic. The huts were abandoned. Kylan and the rest searched, but there was no trace of any of the coven witches."She was here," Dana said. She knelt by the largest hut, her fingers tracing something on the ground. "Recently. I can still smell her.""But she is not here now.""No. They left in a hurry. Darius covered his trail well. They seem to always be at an advantage, always one step ahead."I walked to the largest hut and pushed the door open.Inside, I found signs of occupancy. A bed with rumpled blankets. A basin of cold water. A plate with crumbs on the bedside table. The faint, fading scent of wild honey and lightning.I pressed my palm against the wall and closed my eyes.Elara.She had been here. In this room. In this bed. Alive.But not anymore.Kylan appeared in the doorway. "We searched the entire coven. There is no

    Darius's POVThe Beta arrived at dawn, his horse lathered in sweat, his face pale with urgency.I was in the main hall of the coven, reviewing maps with the two hooded witches, when he burst through the door. His armor was dusty. His eyes were wild."Alpha Thorne sent me," he said, breathless. "We have a problem."I set down my cup. "Speak.""The Lycan King's commander. Dana. She was seen near the coven. Thorne spotted her himself, hiding in the tree line, watching the barrier."I went very still. "How the hell did she find this place? Did she see the alphas?""Yes, my lord. She saw them leave. Heard them talking about the White Witch. About the invasion."The two witches exchanged glances. Their hooded faces betrayed nothing, but I saw their hands tighten on their staffs."When did this happen?""Hours ago. Thorne left immediately to warn you. He said to tell you that the Lycan King will be here soon. That you need to move."I looked at the maps spread across the table. Our plans. Ou

    Lucian's POVSleep would not come.I lay on the bed in my chambers, staring at the ceiling, counting the cracks in the plaster for the hundredth time. The fire had burned low. The room was cold. But I did not pull the blanket higher. The cold kept me awake, and I needed to be awake.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw her face.Elara. Pale. Bleeding. Alone in some dark room while I lay here in comfort.The guilt was a living thing, coiled in my chest, squeezing tighter with each passing hour.I forced myself to sit up. The plate of food Kylan had brought hours ago sat on the bedside table, untouched. The meat had gone cold. The bread had hardened. I picked up a piece and chewed without tasting.Kylan was right. I could not help her if I dropped dead from exhaustion. I needed my strength. Needed to eat. Needed to sleep.But sleep would not come.I ate until the plate was empty. Drank the water. Lay back down and closed my eyes.Her face appeared again. I let it stay.__________________

    Darius's POVMorning light filtered through the cracks in the shutters, pale and grey. I woke to the warmth of a body pressed against mine, dark hair spread across the pillow, a hand resting on my chest.Sonia.She was still here. Still sleeping. Still clinging.I looked at her face, softened by sleep, and felt nothing. She had been useful last night. A scratch to an itch that had been bothering me for weeks. Since Liora's deception. Since the truth about the switch. Since I had watched Elara walk down those stairs at the ball and realized what I had lost, I had not touched Liora or any any woman. That was very unlike me, I was starved and she was here at the right time to quench that hunger.But usefulness had its limits.Sonia stirred. Her eyes fluttered open. She looked at me and smiled, a slow, satisfied curve of her lips."Good morning," she murmured."Good morning.""You are awake early," she murmured."So are you."She stretched, the blanket slipping down. Her hand slid lower o

    Elara’s POVI felt hurt and bad that he could get angry like that even after our morning encounter. The teasing, the laughter, the way he had stayed with me through the nightmare — I thought things had changed between us. But the moment I stepped into that room, his anger returned full force, sharp

    Lucian’s POVI burst through the palace gates with the unconscious girl cradled against my chest. The full moon still hung high, bathing everything in cold silver light. My bare feet slapped against the stone courtyard. Blood from the rogues still coated my skin and matted my hair.The two guards a

    Lucian’s POVI burst into Elara’s chambers without knocking, the door banging against the wall hard enough to rattle the hinges.The royal physician was already there, bent over the bed, pressing a cool cloth to her forehead. Elara lay under the covers, cheeks flushed, skin glistening with sweat. S

    Elara’s POVThe cage bars dug into my back as I pressed myself against them. The metal was cold and rough, smelling of rust and something sour that made my stomach turn. I wrapped my arms around my knees and tried to breathe slow. My heart hammered so loud I could hear it in my ears.This was worse
