**Eirian’s Pov**

I sat by my window, unable to sleep, when I heard shouting from below.

The noise was coming from the direction of the main gate. I leaned closer to the window and saw Kaelen shouting commands and some warriors rushing around, calling to one another. Hooves struck the ground as horses were hurried through the courtyard. Everyone seemed to be trying to reach someone I couldn't see. Then they created a little space that made me see who it was.

I was on my feet before I could thin

  • Forced To The Beast Lycan King: His Plump Little Wolf   Chapter 44: Breach

    **Vorath’s Pov**The courtyard had dissolved into chaos by the time I reached it. Torches flared brightly in the dark as warriors shouted orders across the yard. Steel clashed with steel somewhere in the southern wall, the sound sharp and unrelenting in the cold night air.“My lord!” Kaelan's voice rose above the noise.He fought his way to me through the scattering guards. Blood had already soaked one sleeve, but he barely seemed to notice the wound.“Intruders. At least six of them. They came in through the eastern section using the old drainage grate. We thought it was too narrow for a man to pass through."“How many made it inside?”“Three confirmed. The others were killed in the breach.”He fell into step beside me as I moved toward the fighting, my blade already drawn in my hand. The years of war had trained my body to react without hesitation. My mind became cold and focused, taking in every movement around me.“My lord, they weren't trying to escape. They moved with a purpose

  • Forced To The Beast Lycan King: His Plump Little Wolf   Chapter 43: A Name In The Records

    **Vorath’s Pov**She stared at the page with wide, shocked eyes, then gazed up at me.Did she already know about Nysera?The accusation in her face was impossible to miss. I knew immediately that the compromise I had come up with that morning had just collapsed because of one drawing I never expected her to find so soon.I had spent weeks thinking about this moment and considered every possible way to handle it if she ever discovered the truth, and now that it had arrived, all those plans disappeared from my memory.‘Lie your way out,’ my wolf urged, not wanting to see her hurt. ‘Tell her the drawing is nothing worth fretting over. Pretend you're just as surprised as she is. Tell her it’s just another piece of ancient myth among thousands of forgotten stories in the realm.’ She might believe me. At least for a little while. It would buy me precious time to piece together the entire puzzle and prepare her properly. However, looking at her now, I couldn't bring myself to do it.Her ey

  • Forced To The Beast Lycan King: His Plump Little Wolf   Chapter 42: The Archive

    **Eirian’s Pov**Vorath returned from his brief conversation with Kaelan with a moody expression. He tried to hide it, forcing his face back to normal, but I could see the storm brewing behind his eyes.I was tempted to ask what they had discussed, but I stopped myself. I had learned enough about him during my time here to know that Vorath opened up only on his own timing. Pressuring a man like him would only cause him to retreat further behind his icy walls. “Shall we?” He gestured at the heavy iron door.I nodded and followed him inside.The archive was full of dust and the smell of old parchment. The thick, papery scent filled my lungs as we crossed the threshold. He lit a few candles, and their weak glow revealed dust floating through the air. Shelves rose into the darkness on every side, packed tightly with ledgers and scrolls. Most of the writing on their spines had faded with age, making them difficult to read.“This section contains the oldest bloodline records,” Vorath expla

  • Forced To The Beast Lycan King: His Plump Little Wolf   Chapter 41: What He Hadn’t Told Her

    **Vorath’s Pov**The torn ledger page lay open on the table in my study, a single candle burning beside it. I had lit it myself instead of bothering the servants to prepare a proper fire.Nysera.That ancient name had haunted my mind for weeks now, until I had lost count of how many times I had thought about it and how much it concerned Eirian.Now, the evidence was right in front of me.A bloodline record had been deliberately destroyed decades ago. It contained a name connected to an ancient legend that scholars had dismissed as a myth for generations.Eirian had carried that power since childhood. She had killed a group of playmates who made mockery of her, not understanding what she was capable of. The incident had been violent and impossible to explain, so instead of investigating it, her pack had branded her on the spot and called her cursed.None of it fit together as an accident. Every piece of information I uncovered only strengthened the same conclusion. Someone had known ab

  • Forced To The Beast Lycan King: His Plump Little Wolf   Chapter 40: Learning Each Other

    **Eirian’s Pov**I finished reading the letter and folded it back along the same creases. Thalorion's regret was surprisingly real. I believed that much. His handwriting was frantic and desperate, and I could feel the aching pain behind every word. A part of the girl who had once wanted his approval so badly still felt a distant ache while reading his confession—a small sadness for what might have been if fear hadn't controlled his choices that night in front of a pack that had never shown me a shred of mercy. However, the pain wasn't what it used to be.I had changed since coming to this fortress. I was no longer the broken girl who crumbled under other people's cruelty or waited for their hollow apologies to feel worthy of existing. Thalorion's words belonged to a past version of my life that I had chosen to leave behind forever. I rose and crossed to the fireplace and fed the letter into the flames. The parchment caught fire immediately. The edges curled black as the flames co

  • Forced To The Beast Lycan King: His Plump Little Wolf   Chapter 39: What The Letter Said

    **Vorath’s Pov**I read the letter a second time, my eyes moving slowly over every ink-stained stroke, digesting each word of regret. My jaw tightened as I continued reading, a hot and unpleasant feeling climbing my chest and settling like a heavy weight over my lungs. This was worse than I had expected. I was sitting at my desk, reading another man’s poetic confession for the woman I had married to use—the woman I had convinced myself I cared about only because she was my mate.My fingers clamped down on the parchment, the paper crinkling under my strength. Every primal instinct urged me to crush it in my palm and throw it straight into the roaring fire.Instead, I dropped the letter onto my desk. My hand remained clenched on the parchment as if I could somehow stop those words from existing."You should burn it," Kaelan said, his arms crossed, and his weight shifted onto one hip in the loose stance he always adopted when he was trying not to look as worried as he actually felt.
