Banished By The Alpha King:Claimed By The Cursed Lycan Beast Chapter 173
Lucian's POVGaius arrived within minutes, his bag heavy with vials and herbs, his face lined with concern. He and Gwen conferred in low voices at the foot of the bed, their words too quiet for me to catch. I did not ask them to speak up. I did not care about their theories or their guesses, I just wanted her to be okay. Elara lay motionless beneath the blankets, her white hair fanned across the pillow, her chest rising and falling in a rhythm that was too slow, too shallow. I had not moved from the edge of the bed since I laid her there. Her hand was still in mine, cool and limp, and I rubbed my thumb across her knuckles, hoping she could feel it, hoping it would pull her back.Gwen approached the bed with a small crystal vial filled with pale liquid. He uncorked it and held it under Elara's nose. She did not react. He frowned, then pressed two fingers to her throat again, holding them there longer than before."Her pulse is steady but weak," he said. "There is something different a

Lucian's POVThe war room smelled of old parchment and too many people. Generals and pack leaders crowded around the long table, their voices overlapping, their fingers stabbing at maps. Supply routes. Troop placements. The best locations to set up defensive lines if Darius came through the eastern pass. The Shadow Wilds had grown enormous after the merge with Eclipse Pack and the territories Darius had seized over the years. Too much ground to cover. Too many weak points.I had heard the same arguments for three days, and my patience was wearing thin."We need more men on the northern ridge," one of them said."We need more men everywhere," another countered. "The Shadow Wilds stretch from the eastern mountains to the southern marshes. We cannot guard it all.""Then we conscript from the outer villages.""The outer villages have already given what they can. Their young men are training. Their old men are standing watch. There is no one left."I rubbed my temples. The fire in the hea

Elara's POV The next few weeks buried us in preparation. By day, I trained with Gwen until my arms ached and the light in my palms flickered from exhaustion. Lucian met with generals in the war room, reviewed battle plans, reinforced the walls. Dana scouted the borders twice a week, returning with reports of strange movements in the Shadow Wilds. Kylan managed the chaos of supplies and soldiers and spies, somehow still finding time to leave notes outside our door that made me laugh. "If you need me, I'll be the one hiding from Dana." "Congratulations, my lady. Please stop glowing. It's distracting the servants." By night, Lucian and I collapsed into bed together. Sometimes we made love—slow and tender, the way I remembered from before the potion. Sometimes we just held each other, whispering about the future, about the peace that would come after, about the small, ordinary things we wanted: a garden, a quiet morning, a day without fear. He traced the mark on my neck. I traced

Elara's POVLucian held me for a long time before he asked any questions.His arms were warm around my shoulders, my face pressed against his chest. I could hear his heartbeat, steady and strong, and I let it anchor me. The tears had stopped, but my cheeks were still damp, and I knew he could feel them through his shirt."Elara," he said finally. "What happened?"I pulled back just enough to look at him. "The fate sisters came to visit."His eyes widened. "All three?""All three." I wiped my face with the back of my hand. "My mother. My grandmother. And Morganna.""Morganna." He said the name like it was fragile, like it might break. "The one who cursed my bloodline.""Yes."He led me to the bed. We sat on the edge, facing each other, his hands holding mine. The fire crackled. The morning light was soft through the curtains."What did they want?" he asked.I told him. Not everything—some of it was too raw, too sacred, too much for words. But I told him about Morganna's fury and her tea

Elara's POVThe next few days were peaceful.We spent most of them in bed. Not always making love—sometimes just talking, tracing patterns on each other's skin, watching the sunlight move across the ceiling. We were making up for lost time. Weeks of separation. Months of uncertainty. Years, it felt like, of dancing around each other.Lucian told me stories about his childhood. About the curse. About the first time the beast took over and he woke up in the forest with no memory of how he got there. I told him about my life as a servant. About the small kindnesses that had kept me going. About the moment I first saw him in the forest, covered in blood, and felt no fear.We ordered breakfast and lunch and dinner to the room. The servants learned not to linger. Kylan sent a note that said only: "Congratulations. Please emerge eventually. The kingdom still needs its king."I laughed when Lucian showed me. He crumpled the note and threw it into the fire."I am going to exile him," he said.

Elara's POV I woke up slowly to warmth. Not the warmth of the fire, though it still crackled in the hearth. Not the warmth of the blankets, though they were soft and heavy against my skin. The warmth of him. Lucian's arm was draped across my waist. His chest pressed against my back. His breath was slow and even, ruffling my hair. I lay still, listening to his heartbeat. The memories were still there. All of them were back—bright and clear, no longer fragments or whispers. My mother's face. My father's laugh. The butterfly. The fire. The banishment. The rogues. The beast. And him. Always him. I turned in his arms to face him. His gold eyes were closed, his dark hair tousled, his lips slightly parted. He looked younger in sleep. Softer. The weight of the curse, the kingdom, the war—none of it touched him here. I reached out and traced my finger along his jaw. His eyes opened. "Elara," he murmured. "I remember everything," I said. "I told you last night." "You did."

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

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
