**Eirian’s Pov**

"Again."

Vorath's deep and firm voice echoed on the training yard. I raised my aching arms, returning to the stance he had corrected four times already. My palms were torn raw from gripping the wooden practice blade, and sweat soaked the back of my tunic, despite the cold air biting at my exposed skin.

"Your feet are wrong." He circled me slowly while his golden eyes focused on my every mistake. "Your weight is too far back; an opponent could knock you on the ground before you

  • Forced To The Beast Lycan King: His Plump Little Wolf   Chapter 22: Regrets

    **Vorath’s Pov**"I don't think that fire was an accident," I said, still crouched in front of her. I could see the fear and hope fighting in her eyes. "And I don't think you did anything wrong that night."I watched her swallow hard, her hands trembling as she lifted her chalk. The sound of it scraping against the board was small, almost fragile, in the silence of the garden.When she finished, she turned the chalkboard toward me.“Why did you choose me?”The question hit me like a physical blow. Her dark eyes held mine—searching, raw, and completely defenseless. I couldn't move. I stayed where I was, dumbfounded. My throat locked, and for the first time in my life, words completely failed me.I couldn't tell her the whole truth… that I had claimed her to protect her, or that part of me had been drawn to the quiet strength behind her pain from the very moment I saw her. I couldn't admit how deeply she was already cracking open the walls I’d built around my heart. To give her an answ

  • Forced To The Beast Lycan King: His Plump Little Wolf   Chapter 21: Blood On The Council Floor

    **Eirian’s Pov**Vorath found me in the garden, sitting with my chalkboard balanced on my knees. I wasn't sketching anything in particular, simply enjoying the rare warmth of the afternoon sun on my face. I heard his boots crunching on the gravel as he approached; the weight of his stride already announced to me that whatever he had come to say wasn't good."There's been an attack," He didn't bother with an introduction. "Elder Cormain. In his chambers, three nights ago."I placed the chalkboard beside me as my stomach tightened. I did not know Elder Cormain well. I had spoken to him only a few times in my whole life, but his name still meant something to me. Since childhood, I had known him as one of the pack's oldest and most respected Elders. He had been present at almost every ceremony I had ever attended."He survived," Vorath continued, watching me closely. "Barely, though. The healers say it may take weeks before he's strong enough to speak properly. But he managed to give the

  • Forced To The Beast Lycan King: His Plump Little Wolf   Chapter 20: A Weakness He Won’t Name

    **Vorath’s Pov**"My lord, please forgive me, but I have to ask. T—The breakfast this morning… Was that your order?" Nessa stood in the doorway of my study, nervously wringing her hands over her apron. She had the look of a servant who knew she might be asking too many questions but couldn't quite stop herself from asking. Morning light filtered through the narrow window behind her, highlighting the worried lines on her forehead. "It was taken care of," I said flatly. It wasn't an answer, and we both knew it."It's just that there was no note, my lord. I wasn't sure if I should thank someone or if it was an error in the kitchen. If it was a mistake, I would hate for it to happen again without your knowledge, and—""Nessa."She stopped and swallowed the rest of her words."It was taken care of," I repeated, my voice colder this time. "You don't need to worry about it anymore."She gave a quick curtsy and hurried away, glancing back at me one last time before disappearing down the ha

    **Eirian’s Pov**"You've truly never shifted? Not even once?"I shook my head at Nessa and laid my chalkboard on my lap while she folded a fresh set of linens at the foot of my bed.She paused halfway through folding and studied me. Her expression wasn't really pity, but it was close enough to make my face flush with embarrassment."I'm nineteen years old," I wrote. "Everyone else shifts by thirteen. Fourteen at the latest.""That is unusual," Nessa admitted. She placed the linens aside and sank onto the side of my bed uninvited as she had grown comfortable doing over the past few weeks. "But it isn't impossible. My grandmother used to say there are late bloomers. Wolves that take longer to appear."I raised an eyebrow, skeptical."Really," she insisted. "She said some wolves were waiting for something, maybe a certain moment or a reason before they show up. They don't appear merely because the body has reached the right age. They come whenever they're ready." She shrugged, but her ey

    **Vorath’s Pov**My hand froze inches from her shoulder, and in one violent, disorienting second, I was not fully sure whose eyes I was seeing through.‘There.’My wolf's voice tore through me with a force I hadn't felt in years. It wasn't a thought or a warning. It was a powerful body surge that crashed against the inside of my ribs as if he were trying to break free.Silver. Her eyes had flashed into a bright silver. The glow disappeared almost as quickly as it came, but I had seen it. My wolf had seen it too, and he had not ceased reacting since.‘Mate. Power. Ours.’"Enough!" I silenced him through gritted teeth, although the command came out weaker than I intended. My heart was pounding, but not because of the training we'd been doing for the better part of an hour.Eirian blinked, and the silver disappeared from her eyes, leaving only the pale gray I had grown accustomed to. She looked confused and frightened, though she was trying hard not to show it. Her gaze dropped to the pr

    **Eirian’s Pov**"Again."Vorath's deep and firm voice echoed on the training yard. I raised my aching arms, returning to the stance he had corrected four times already. My palms were torn raw from gripping the wooden practice blade, and sweat soaked the back of my tunic, despite the cold air biting at my exposed skin."Your feet are wrong." He circled me slowly while his golden eyes focused on my every mistake. "Your weight is too far back; an opponent could knock you on the ground before you even finish your swing."I adjusted, shifting my balance forward as he had shown me and tried again. The blade felt awkward and foreign in my hands, and my arms shook from the effort. For nineteen years, I had been reminded that my body was too soft, too round, and too weak to be useful for anything beyond serving others. Every failed strike in this yard was proof that everyone had been right about me."Better," Vorath commended, though his tone didn't suggest approval. "Again."I swung. My shou
