Mag-log inLarry's pov"Find anything interesting?" a familiar, deep voice suddenly called out.I jumped slightly, turning around to see Calvin leaning against the wooden archive archway, his hands tucked casually into his trouser pockets. He gave me a gentle, curious smile as he walked over to my desk.I quickly composed myself and offered him a soft smile back. "No real leads yet," I admitted, closing the thick album on the table. "But... it's been really amazing looking at these old pictures. I honestly had no idea King Alistair spent so much time here when he was young."Calvin chuckled softly, looking down at the stack of historical books. "Oh, yeah. Alistair was basically raised in this palace alongside my father who wasnt king at the time. Our families were practically one big bloodline back then. This pack was like a second home to him. He was here almost every summer.""He looked so... happy back then," I murmured, staring at the closed cover of the book. "It's hard to believe it's the
Larry's povTwo weeks had passed since the terrifying night of the attack.In that time, the atmosphere at Calvin’s territory had gradually settled into a quiet, tentative routine. High-grade guards were stationed at every border, and security throughout the palace had been tripled. There were still small, sporadic rogue attacks along the outer edges of the forest, but Calvin easily dismissed them as minor nuisances.For the most part, the long-standing alliance between Rowan’s grand kingdom and Calvin’s pack had brought an unprecedented wave of peace to the region. Even Calvin’s notoriously difficult pack elders had ceased their endless political nagging, intimidated into silence by the sheer unified strength of the two Alpha rulers.Sometimes, as I sat by my bedroom window looking out over the peaceful, English-style gardens, a bitter, bittersweet warmth would wash over my heart. Leaving Rowan, stepping back, and allowing Catherine to stay as his prospective Queen had actually broug
Larry's pov"It doesn't matter," Calvin spat, shoving the kidnapper back down into the dirt. "He doesn't have his wolf power to rely on against us, and his high-tech toys won't save him now. You're caught, you bastard. You're going to rot in my deepest dungeon until you open your mouth and tell us who is pulling your strings!""Calvin, wait!" I shouted, my eyes darting frantically around the dark courtyard.Calvin stopped, looking at me in confusion. "What is it, Larry?""Where is his partner?!" I cried out, my voice laced with pure panic.Everyone froze. The guards around us stiffened, their heads turning side to side as they looked into the dark shadows surrounding the courtyard."The last time he tried to take me in the dungeon," I explained rapidly, my heart pounding violently, "he wasn't alone! There was another person with him! Another masked man who called my name!"Calvin's face turned pale. He grabbed his sword hilt, looking around the dark trees. "Search the perimeter!" Calv
Larry's povI threw the thick blanket off my body, my chest heaving as the familiar but distant roar echoed across the night sky yet again.*Rowan.*My mind screamed his name. It had to be him. It had to be Rowan coming to drag me back, enraged and heartbroken over my sudden departure.Common sense warned me to stay inside, to lock the wooden door, and to keep as far away from the chaos as possible. If Rowan saw me now, everything I had sacrificed m heart for, his crown, his throne, his future... would be completely destroyed.But right now... I didn't care. I couldnt. My body moved before my brain could stop it.I burst out of my bedroom, my bare feet slapping against the cold stone floor as I sprinted down the long, dim corridors. Servants were scurrying into side rooms in terror, and fully armed warriors were rushing past me, heading straight toward the eastern courtyard."Hey! Stop! Go back to your room!" a guard shouted, reaching out to grab my shoulder as I pushed past him."Let
Larry's povThe hum of the vehicle’s engine was a low, steady rumble in the dark.I leaned my forehead against the cool glass of the window, watching the shadowy trees flash past like ghosts. The distant lights of Rowan’s kingdom faded into nothingness, swallowed whole by the thick night fog. My chest felt hollow, carved out by a sharp, constant ache that made every breath hurt.I closed my eyes, just for a second, intending to shut out the pain and without realizing it, my exhausted mind finally gave out.When I woke up, soft morning sunlight was spilling through the tinted windows. A thick, warm blanket was carefully draped over my shoulders. I shifted, my muscles stiff, and looked over at the front seat.Calvin was sitting in the passenger side, watching the quiet country road ahead. He looked back through the mirror, his expression softening as he saw me moving."Hey," Calvin said gently, turning his head around. "You slept for a long time. How are you feeling?""I... I'm okay," I
Larry’s POV After leaving my aunt's quarters, I made my way straight to Calvin's rooms on the upper floor. My legs felt like lead, every step bringing me closer to a point of no return.I knocked twice, and Calvin opened the door instantly, as if he had been waiting for me all morning.He took one look at my face and stepped back, holding the door open. "Larry. Come in."I walked into the middle of his room and turned around, looking him dead in the eye."I'm ready," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "I'll go with you."Calvin let out a long breath of relief, a soft smile touching his face as he put a hand on my shoulder. "You're making a good choice, Larry. Truly. It's the best thing for you, and it's the best thing for Rowan right now.""When do we leave?" I asked, my heart pounding wildly against my ribs."At midnight," Calvin answered firmly. "The guards rotate their shift at twelve, and the eastern gate will be unguarded for ten minutes. Rowan will be exhausted from the c
LARRY’S POV"Never, Larry,” Rowan snarled. “I will never ever stay away from you. And from today onward, you are forever mine!"I sat there analyzing his words as they rang in my mind over and over again. “You are forever mine!”He didn't sound like he was joking, or even teasing. There was an air
LARRY’S POV“Larry?” My sister, Sasha, called again, louder this time. There was something in her voice now— it sounded like confusion… and something very close to panic. “Larry, seriously, have you seen him? He’s not in his room. No one knows where he is.”Guilt slammed into me so hard I nearly ch
LARRY'S POVMy virginity was stolen last night… or at least I think so. But I’m not sure—I don’t really remember clearly.It might have just been a dream, or something worse… but I really hope it was a dream.I could only recall arching my back in response to the coldness of lube being rubbed on my
Larry's pov“Wow,” Rowan said. “I didn’t realize you’d be this shy after last night.”I gaped at him in shock. “After… after what?” my voice croaked.The laughter instantly died, and he frowned.“Wait,” he said slowly. “You don’t remember?”I felt dread fill my tummy. “Remember what?”He studied me
