Elara's POV

Gaius left. The door clicked shut. And the room became a world of its own.

I sat on the edge of the bed, still holding Lucian's hand. His skin was hot. Too hot. The fever had been climbing all day, and no amount of cool cloths could bring it down. His chest barely moved now. Each breath was a battle.

I looked at his face. The sharp line of his jaw. The dark lashes resting against cheeks that had gone gray. The lips that had kissed me three days ago, now cracked and pale.

  • 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

    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 189

    Elara's POVThe light surged from deep within me.It was not like before. Not controlled. Not measured. It exploded out of me like a dam breaking, white and blinding, fueled by rage and grief and terror. I felt it burning through my veins, scorching my skin, pouring from my eyes like tears of fire.I looked down at my hands. They were covered in blood. Lucian's blood. Dark and thick and still warm. It dripped from my fingers, soaking into my gown, pooling on the stone floor beneath me.His chest was still rising and falling. Barely. The dagger was still buried in his heart, its runes pulsing with sickly light. I could see his life ebbing away with each weak beat of his heart.Then I suddenly felt a warm trickle between my legs. Wet. Wrong.I looked down and saw blood. Dark red, spreading across my thighs, staining the torn fabric of my gown. The baby. The child I had been carrying, the life I had been protecting, the future I had been dreaming of."No," I whispered. "No, no, no."Dariu

  • Banished By The Alpha King:Claimed By The Cursed Lycan Beast   Chapter 188

    Elara's POVThe world was spinning.I hit the wall hard, my head cracking against the stone. Pain exploded through my skull, white and blinding. For a moment, I could not breathe. Could not think. Could only feel the cold stone against my back, the blood trickling down my neck.I tried to move. My limbs were heavy, unresponsive. My vision swam, the great hall blurring in and out of focus. I blinked, trying to clear the haze.When I managed to focus my gaze, I saw a figure move faster than anything I had ever seen. It wasn't one of Darius's creatures. It was—Lucian.No. Not Lucian.The beast.He was almost fully transformed. His body had grown massive, his muscles bulging beneath dark fur that was still forming, still spreading across his skin. His face was twisted, the bones shifting, reforming. His eyes burned red—not gold, not human. Red. Like embers. Like fire.No. The word was a whisper in my mind. No, no, no.The beast roared. The sound shook the walls, rattled the chandeliers,

    Elara's POVThe next few days taught me something I already knew: cruelty wears a pretty face when it wants to.Sonia moved into the west wing like she had never left. Servants bowed lower for her. Guards snapped to attention faster. Even the air seemed to part around her, carrying that jasmine sce

    Elara's POVI kissed him before I could talk myself out of it.His mouth was warm and urgent against mine, and for a moment nothing else existed. Not the argument. Not the power surging under my skin. Not the fear I had been swallowing for days. Just him. His hands on my waist. His breath in my mou

    Lucian's POVI felt it before I saw it.The air changed. Not the way it does before a storm—sharper than that. Heavier. The kind of pressure that makes your bones ache and your instincts scream. I was far enough away to give her space, the way I'd promised. Watching from the tree line while Gwen pu

    Elara’s POVThe next day came in a blur.I woke before the maids, already dressed in the same simple training tunic and breeches I had worn the day before. My body still ached from days of training and frustration, but the restlessness in my chest was worse. I knew what today was. Lucian had said i
