Mitchell POV

"If she pleases you, your majesty. You are welcome to take her as your chosen one."

The older woman's voice didn't waver.

That was the sickening part.

I didn't move. Didn't look at the woman standing in the tent entrance. I kept my eyes on the teenage girl trembling across from me, the food tray rattling in her grip hard enough that broth sloshed over the rim and hit the dirt floor in fat drops.

She was going to drop it.

  • Fake Bond of the Lycan Lords    Chapter 173

    Betty POV"The rogue lycans are lining up at the castle gates, Queen Betty."Leonardo' father hit the stone floor on both knees. His head stayed down. The heavy oak doors of the dining hall were still swinging behind him, clicking rhythmically against the frame.Adriel did not stop chewing his toast. He just watched the old man grovel."Get up," I said. My voice sounded thin. I had been asleep for forty-eight hours, and my throat felt like sandpaper. "Why are they at the gates? Is someone bleeding? Are the silver burns back?""No one is bleeding," Adriel said. He set his fork down with a sharp clink against the porcelain. He wiped his mouth with a linen napkin, his eyes fixed on me. "I put him in charge of the perimeter while you were out cold. The rogues you healed two days ago? They did not run back to the woods."I stared at him. The kids were sitting right next to me, their small hands gripping their silver spoons."They want to s

Didn't look at the woman standing in the tent entrance. I kept my eyes on the teenage girl trembling across from me, the food tray rattling in her grip hard enough that broth sloshed over the rim and hit the dirt floor in fat drops.She was going to drop it.I crossed the tent in four steps and caught the tray before it went.The girl flinched so hard she bit her own lip."Sit," I said.She didn't move."I am not asking you to do anything. Sit down before your legs give out."She sat on the edge of the nearest crate. Her knuckles were bone-white. Her eyes were fixed on a point somewhere near my boots, and she was breathing in short, shallow pulls that weren't getting her enough air.Fifteen. Maybe younger.

    Mitchell POV"We move in five minutes, or I leave you behind to rot," I say, snapping my leather holdall shut.Ian does not blink. He just tightens the laces on his combat boots. "The men are ready, Mitchell. Stop pacing. You are wearing a hole in the tarmac.""She has been unconscious for forty-eight hours, Ian." I grip the edge of the iron weapon rack. My knuckles go white. "Two days. The curse is broken, the heat has cleared from her skin, and she still will not open her eyes.""She forced two ancient entities to bow at the same time," Ian says, his voice flat and steady. "Her body is resetting. Let her sleep.""I do not like leaving her while she is vulnerable.""She is not vulnerable," Ian grunts, throwing a spare dagger into his pack. "The courtyard is practically blocked solid with delivery crates. Every alpha from here to the border is sending tributes because they can breathe again. She has got more security than th

    Betty POV"Novalee, drop the shield right now!"I roar the words through the mindlink, forcing the mental command through the thick, suffocating wall of her panic.Novalee flinches. Her hands tremble against the air, her knuckles white as she struggles to hold the shimmering dome of energy above our heads. A violent shudder ripples through her entire body.Above us, the sky is nothing but a roaring sheet of flame. Luca's magic slams into the barrier, turning the transparent sphere into a cage of blinding, crackling fire. The heat bakes down through the glass-like shield, scorching the grass at my feet and turning the air into pure petrol fumes."Betty, no!" Novalee gasps aloud, her voice cracking under the pressure. "The fire will consume us!""Drop it!" I snap, my voice cutting through the roar of the blaze. "Now!"She cuts the power. The shield vanishes into thin air with a sharp, static pop.The massive wall of fire plunges

    Betty POV"Get up," Adriel grunts.My eyelids snap open. The cold floor bites into my bare skin. I blink against the sharp light, my head spinning as the fog clears. A rough blanket covers my torso, but I am completely exposed underneath.Adriel stands over me. His chest heaves, sweat slicking his shoulders. He just shifted back from his Lycan form. His dark eyes scan my face for weakness."Hi," I mumble.He does not answer with words. He reaches down, hooks his thick arms under my knees and back, and jerks me off the floor. The sudden movement makes my stomach drop.I look past his shoulder. The room is crowded. Alpha guards, pack elders, and trackers stand against the walls. They are all staring. A hot blush creeps up my throat. I inhale deeply, catching the thick scent of ozone and burnt copper in the air."Are you feeling okay now, Betty?" Treasure steps forward. Her voice is too sharp, cutting through the silence.I give h

    Betty POV"Open your eyes, Betty."Treasure's voice is too close. Her breath smells like raw iron and old copper."They are going to tear you apart from the inside if you do not force them down," Kinslee snaps. A sharp slap hits my right thigh. Hard. The pain is a dull throb through the numbness, but it does not stop the war ripping through my chest."I cannot," I choke out. The words taste like ash. "They are too strong.""They are stubborn," Kinslee says, her fingers digging into my shoulders until the bone clicks. "April is a lycan. Ashlyn is a creature of pride. They would rather kill you than share the same bloodline. Fix it."I grid my teeth. The dirt beneath my palms is cold. We are in the middle of the clearing, the tarmac of the old pack road just ten yards away, but my head is trapped in a dark room. I shut my eyes. I do not just look inside my mind. I smash through the wall.The mental space is not a pretty meadow. It is a

    Betty’s POV"You need to leave before I tear your throat out," Luka growled, his massive Lycan jaw snapping inches from Madeline's face.The three triplets scrambled backward, their heels catching on the gravel as they shoved Madeline into the passenger seat of their sports car. The engine screamed

    Betty’s POV"You are nothing but a broken genetic mistake, Betty, and you will not embarrass this family at the royal ball tonight."My father slammed both of his heavy fists onto the wooden kitchen table. The wood groaned under the impact, rattling the ceramic coffee mugs and sending a splash of d

    Betty’s POV"You are going to frighten the locals if you keep projecting your scent like a weapon," I said.The stranger did not flinch. He stood by the rusted flank of the pack jeep, his frame blocking the driver-side door. His eyes were the sharp, smoked-gray of a non-royal Lycan, completely devo

    Betty’s POV"Get on your knees, wolfless freak, or I will break your legs myself."Madeline’s voice sliced through the damp, heavy air of the Blue Claw storage pavilion. She was balanced on the balls of her patent-leather heels, her pink lips curved into a cruel, perfect line. In her manicured hand
