**Eirian's Pov**

"You've been cooped up in that tower like a bird in a cage," Nessa said, adjusting my shawl over my shoulders. "The King said you're allowed to walk the grounds with a guard. You should enjoy it while it lasts, before he changes his mind."

I’d been stuck indoors for two full days, and Nessa hadn't stopped badgering me. She’d tried repeatedly to convince me to get some fresh air in the training yard, and I finally agreed. The walls of my chamber had actually begun to feel suffo

  • Forced To The Beast Lycan King: His Plump Little Wolf   Chapter 54: What He Isn’t Ready For

    **Vorath’s Pov**Mira stood alone in the corridor outside the healer's study when I got there. She was packing the last of her dried herbs and glass jars into her satchel while waiting for moonrise.I stopped in front of her before she could head out toward the garden where the ritual was set to take place."A word," I said, keeping my voice low. "Privately." She paused, looking up at me before nodding. She dropped her satchel onto the bench beside her and gave me her full attention."You want to ask me something you didn't want to bring up in front of her.""Yes.""Ask it, then.”I hesitated. I had gone over the question in my head for the past hour, but speaking the words out loud was far harder than I expected. "Could this kill her?"Mira's expression didn't change. She didn't try to soften the answer or dress it up. "Yes, it could."The words hit me hard, despite the fact that I had tried to prepare myself after hearing her warn Eirian earlier about the dangers. "How likely is

  • Forced To The Beast Lycan King: His Plump Little Wolf   Chapter 53: The Memory Healer

    **Eirian’s Pov**Old Mira Thorne arrived at the fortress carrying a worn leather satchel.Vorath had arranged for us to meet in the healer's private study, which was more secluded than the main chambers. Tall wooden shelves lined the walls from floor to ceiling, packed with dried herbs and small glass jars. The entire room smelled faintly of dried lavender, crushed roots, and rain-soaked earth. Mira placed her satchel down on the table with a heavy thud, and turned to look at me with those clouded but impossibly piercing eyes, as though she could see straight through me."So," she said, sitting down comfortably on the chair across from me, her silver braid falling over one shoulder. "You've decided you're ready to see what has been locked away in your memory." "Yes," I said quietly, meeting her gaze without flinching.Her eyes widened in clear shock. She glanced over at Vorath, who stood near the window, and back at me."You spoke," she said in disbelief."I did," I replied, a small

    **Vorath’s Pov**"Your friend?" I asked, looking up from the table. "My only real friend," Eirian replied quietly. "The only person from that pack who has ever treated me with genuine kindness." She held out the letter for me to read.I took the parchment from her hands. From what I had gathered about the few people who truly mattered to Eirian, I knew Lirien was at the top of that list. If anything happened to her back at FrostHowl, Eirian would carry that worry like a heavy weight on her shoulders every single day.I made up my mind instantly."I'll send someone to bring her here," I said, looking up at her. "She'll be much safer inside these walls than she is over there, especially right now."Relief spread over Eirian's face, followed immediately by a bright, beautiful smile. The joy in her eyes made my chest tighten, and I fought the powerful urge to reach out and pull her into my arms. I forced my attention back to the letter in my hands. "What about her family? Will they cau

  • Forced To The Beast Lycan King: His Plump Little Wolf   Chapter 51: Lirien’s Worry

    **Eirian’s Pov**"A courier gave it to one of the stable hands. He said it came from FrostHowl, but not through any official channel.” Nessa said, handing me a letter that was wrapped in a spare piece of cloth. “He looked nervous when he handed it over, my lady, and made the boy promise to give it only to you."I looked it over, and the handwriting on the outer fold immediately told me who had written it.Lirien.Oh, how I've missed her so much.I waited until Nessa left, then quickly unfolded the pages. My heart was racing with anticipation as I settled into the rocking chair by my window and began to read.Eirian,I hope this letter reaches you safely. I paid the courier extra to be careful and made him swear on his mother's grave that he wouldn't let it fall into the wrong hands. I suppose that's rather dramatic, but I would rather be safe than sorry. You would probably laugh at me if you were here to see how seriously I took the whole thing. I miss you so much. Eirien. You have n

  • Forced To The Beast Lycan King: His Plump Little Wolf   Chapter 50: Serelith’s Instructions

    **Serelith’s Pov**The council chamber erupted in uproar as I made my way into the hall, pausing a bit near the doorway and listening carefully to their furious chatter. "He didn't even give us the courtesy of considering our request," Elder Aldric complained. His face was red with anger. "One paragraph, sharp as a blade and twice as insulting. He questioned our authority in front of the very courier we sent to him.""He humiliated Cormain," another council member added. I had never bothered to learn his name properly, as he held very little power. "A respected elder who nearly died serving this pack! Yet the Lycan King treats his recovery like a minor inconvenience instead of the serious matter it is." Now is the time, I thought, smoothing down the front of my dress. I forced a look of sympathy and profound concern onto my face before stepping out from the doorway and walking gracefully toward the center of the room. "Forgive my interruption, Elders. I couldn't help overhearing th

  • Forced To The Beast Lycan King: His Plump Little Wolf   Chapter 49: Refusal

    **Eirian’s Pov**I was in bed in Vorath's chambers. Bettin had strictly ordered me to rest for another full day because I was still too weak to move around much. Nessa arrived holding a sealed letter. The worry on her face was obvious, even though she was desperately trying to hide it for my sake. "This came for the King," she said, her hands trembling slightly around the parchment. "But the courier insisted it concerns you too, my lady. He refused to leave until someone confirmed that it had been delivered into proper hands."I took the letter, turned it over in my hands, and instantly recognized the seal.FrostHowl Pack.Before I could say anything, Vorath entered the room. He always seemed to appear whenever I needed him most. Nessa quietly excused herself, leaving us alone, as I handed the letter to him. He broke the seal and unfolded the parchment. As his eyes scanned the lines, his expression hardened into stone, making it impossible to tell whether the news was merely troublin
