**Vorath's Pov**

"She is a liability, my lord, and I say that with all due respect to your judgment."

Elder Rothgar's voice echoed in the council chamber before I had even finished sitting down. Three of my council members were already gathered around the long table as morning light streamed from the tall windows and caught the dust hanging in the air. Their faces were of men who had prepared this discussion long before I arrived.

"Good morning to you as well," the stern tone in my voice made t

  • Forced To The Beast Lycan King: His Plump Little Wolf   Chapter 16: Thalorion’s Regret

    **Thalorion’s Pov**The pain woke me up.It spread on my forearm, in the exact spot where the Moon Goddess had marked me for what I did to her. I sat up in bed, breathing hard and covered in sweat. With shaky hands, I pulled back my sleeve, expecting to see the silver light burning my skin, but there was nothing there save for the thin, pale scar that had faded weeks ago. It was barely visible now except when the light hit it at the right angle.I pressed down hard on the spot, waiting for the ache to go away. It never fully did anymore. Most days, the pain stayed buried deep down, but during the quiet hours when I had nothing to distract myself, it always returned.I fell back onto my pillows and closed my eyes, but the dream returned immediately, and I couldn’t block it. Clear and bright silver eyes. Always those silver eyes. They were wide and searching, fixed on me with an expression I couldn't figure out—either accusing me, or showing a sadness I didn't deserve to see. I never sa

  • Forced To The Beast Lycan King: His Plump Little Wolf   Chapter 15: Serelith’s Ascension

    **Serelith’s Pov**"You are a comfort to this pack, Serelith. Truly, in these difficult days, your grace does not go unnoticed."Elder Fenrick's warm and grateful voice filled the council chamber. I lowered my head, letting my lashes touch my cheeks the way I had practiced since I was a little girl. I made sure he saw how deeply his kind words had humbled me. "You flatter me, Elder," I said softly. "I’m only doing what any daughter of this pack should do. My sister's absence left a hole, and someone has to help carry the burden."The lie tasted sweeter than any real feeling I had ever had for Eirian.A hole.The way I said it, anyone would think she was dead. But she wasn't. She had simply been taken away by the most powerful man in the North, and given the title I had spent my whole life preparing to earn. I still felt a surge of anger every time I thought about that day. I had watched her climb into that carriage with dried blood on her temple. Her dress was two seasons out of fash

Three of my council members were already gathered around the long table as morning light streamed from the tall windows and caught the dust hanging in the air. Their faces were of men who had prepared this discussion long before I arrived."Good morning to you as well," the stern tone in my voice made the sarcasm impossible to miss.Rothgar didn't flinch. He never did, which was exactly why I had him close, even though his blunt honesty often tested my patience."Word is spreading across the borders, my lord," Rothgar pressed, leaning forward. “Half the territories by now know your bride grew up believing she carried a curse. They know she went mute after children died in her pack. Whether it's true or not doesn't matter anymore. People believe it, and our enemies won't hesitate to use that ag

  • Forced To The Beast Lycan King: His Plump Little Wolf   Chapter 13: What He Won’t Admit

    **Vorath's Pov**I stood outside her door longer than I should have.The corridor was silent save for the faint creak of her chair and the rustle of her clothes as she moved inside her chamber. I'd already said everything that needed to be said. I made to leave, but my feet were rooted on the stone floor as though they had been nailed there. I listened to the silence, and it told me only one thing. She still hadn't touched the tray of food.I shouldn't have come here.‘You wanted to.’My wolf spoke with a lack of interest. He always sounded that way whenever he caught me lying to myself. I ignored him, just as I had ignored most things he had to say lately. Though ever since the binding ceremony, pretending not to hear him had become tough for me."She needs to eat," I muttered to myself. "A sickly, starving Luna is a liability. That's all this is."‘Is it?’I walked away before my wolf could press further. There was no reason to remain outside her chamber. I had said what was necess

  • Forced To The Beast Lycan King: His Plump Little Wolf   Chapter 12: A Silent Fury

    **Eirian's Pov**I didn't leave my chamber the next day.Nessa knocked twice that morning, carrying a tray containing warm bread and boiled eggs. Both times I faced the window with my back to the door, refusing to turn around. I heard her set the tray gently near the fireplace, heard her hesitate, heard the soft rustle of her dress as she lingered a while longer than necessary before leaving me in peace. I refused to eat the food.It wasn't because I wasn't hungry. By noon, my stomach was violently protesting. Every passing hour reminded me that I hadn't eaten since the morning of Vorath's cruel ‘test.’ But my pride and hurt were far stronger than my hunger. I refused to bend simply because my body demanded it. All my life, people had treated me the way I was treated yesterday, and I never had the words to fight back with, no voice strong enough to raise against the people who controlled every part of my existence. But I had silence. Silence had always been mine. I mastered how to u

  • Forced To The Beast Lycan King: His Plump Little Wolf   Chapter 11: The Test

    **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 suffocating for me with each passing hour.The morning air was cool and fresh as Nessa led me down the numerous, confusing corridors and out into the wide stone courtyard where I had first arrived.Warriors moved about in small groups. Some trained with wooden swords while others carried supplies to and fro buildings, their deep voices mixing with the sound of the clashing weapons as a guard trailed a respectful distance behind us.I breathed in deeply, glad to be somewhere other than the four walls
