Bound To The Lycan King CHAPTER 69: Unspoken Words.
AYLIN'S POV My heart had lifted the second I saw him at the top of the staircase.Then the steward finished speaking, and everything in me went cold."And with him, Lady Nerissa Valmont."Lucien wasn't walking down alone. Nerissa's hand rested on his arm, her smile polished and practiced, and the two of them descended together while the crowd below erupted into applause."Why is he with her," Kaelen whispered, and I wondered the exact same thing.Beside me, Seraphine's jaw tightened. "Same question."Someone near us murmured, low enough that they probably thought no one heard. "They make such a perfect couple."I felt that sentence land somewhere deep in my chest, sharp and unwelcome. I didn't want it to be true. I didn't want to admit how right it looked either, Lucien in his black and silver attire, Nerissa gliding beside him like she'd been carved to match him. They moved with the same poise, the same effortless command of the room, like a king and queen who had always belonged ex
Bound To The Lycan King CHAPTER 68: To Be Announced.
AYLIN'S POV Seraphine and I walked side by side down the long corridor, my silver dress whispering against the marble with every step.We found Terak and Kaelen waiting near the grand staircase, and Terak reached us first, dressed in a suit unlike anything I'd seen at court before. No tie, just an open collar with embroidery threaded up the front in gold patterns that caught the torchlight, cufflinks shaped like small crescent moons, and a sash tied loosely at his waist that fell in soft folds down one side, giving the whole thing the elegant, structured look of something from an older world entirely.Seraphine let go of my hand and slipped hers into Kaelen's instead. Terak offered me his arm, and I took it, falling into step beside him.His hair had grown in since I'd last seen him properly, and his shoulders seemed broader somehow, though maybe I'd simply forgotten what he looked like outside of beta duty and quiet corners.He leaned close. "You look beautiful tonight, Aylin.""You
Bound To The Lycan King CHAPTER 67: Let the Fall Ball Begin
AYLIN'S POV The palace was already humming by the time I woke.I could hear it through my door. Servants rushing past in a blur of footsteps, maids calling instructions down the hall, someone dropping something heavy followed by a burst of laughter. The Fall Ball had finally arrived, and every corner of the palace seemed to feel it.I stayed in bed longer than I should have.I didn't want to face anyone. Not after what I'd said to Lucien. I kept replaying it in my head, how cruel I sounded, how ungrateful, throwing accusations at the one person who had shown me nothing but care since the day I arrived. I'd been mean to the people who loved me when I barely remembered what love felt like anymore.A knock cut through the guilt spiraling in my head.I opened the door to find Seraphine grinning at me, five maids trailing behind her like she'd brought an army.Something in my chest loosened at the sight of her. I'd missed this. Missed her smile, her banter, the easy comfort she brought i
Bound To The Lycan King CHAPTER 66: Will it be the Last Place I'd Ever Stand?
AYLIN'S POV I stood frozen in the ballroom, the echo of my own words ringing louder than anything else around me.I had messed up. I knew that the second the words I told Lucien came out of my mouth."Classic Aylin."The voice slid back into my head, smooth and pleased with itself. "Always tearing down the foundation you've spent months building. Wonderful. It's almost like you actually listen to me.""Stop it.""The voice lives in your mind more than your heart does these days. You're slowly going insane, if you ask me.""Oh god." I pressed both hands against my temples. "I actually am going insane.""Who are you?" I thought it as hard and loudly as I could, like volume alone might force an answer out of it. "What are you? This isn't my voice. I know this isn't my own thoughts. What do you want from me? Please. I've already ruined enough because of you. Please, just leave me alone."The voice went quiet.I stood there a moment longer, waiting for it to come back, almost wishing i
Bound To The Lycan King CHAPTER 65: Hurtful Words.
LUCIEN'S POV "What do you mean by facade, Aylin?"She stepped back from me, arms wrapping around herself like she could hold the words in if she tried hard enough."I mean all of this," she said. "The caring. Everyone being nice to me. Acting like it doesn't matter that I'm human and you're werewolves. It's fake. Why are you doing this? Why are any of you being kind to me? I should be dead. Every other girl who came here before me is dead. So why am I still alive? What are your real intentions?"I stared at her, and for a moment I couldn't find a single word to answer with. I hadn't expected this. Not from her."Are you going to do something to me?" Her voice shook. "I don't understand why I'm still breathing. We're enemies, Lucien. We've always been enemies. So what do you actually want from me?"Something in my chest cracked, quiet and sudden, at the thought that this was how she saw us. How she saw me."All this time," I said slowly, "you believed that I, that Seraphine, that Kae
Bound To The Lycan King CHAPTER 64: Facade?
AYLIN'S POV "Who's there?" My voice cracked against the silence. "Come out. Step into the light."Moonlight spilled through the window, thin and pale, just enough to catch the edges of the room. The eyes stayed exactly where they were. Watching. Then, low and unhurried, a chuckle slid out of the dark.I didn't have time to react before the shadow moved.One blink, and the figure was gone from the corner. Another, and it was at the window, a blur of motion vanishing over the sill and into the night. I ran to it anyway, chest heaving, and caught nothing but the flutter of a cape disappearing into the dark beyond the palace walls."What is going on," I whispered, to no one, to the empty room, to the moon that didn't answer.I sank down against the wall beneath the window, arms wrapped around my knees. If I hadn't been chosen for any of this, none of it would be happening. If my parents were still alive, I wouldn't be here at all, trembling in a palace that wasn't mine, hunted by things
