My Alpha Lost Me To The Lycan King 72. The Hollow Court's Patience
Chapter 72King AlaricFor one suspended, disbelieving heartbeat, I let myself hope Cordelia had come as an ally — that word of the Hollow Court's assault had somehow reached the Southern Provinces overnight, and she'd marched to honor whatever fragile alliance still existed between our thrones.Then I saw the banner riding at the formation's head, and hope died a swift, cold death.Not the twin swans of Cordelia's royal house.A silver wolf, encircled by a broken chain."That's not Cordelia's army," I said, my voice gone hollow. "That's her banner stolen, or her throne compromised. Ismene—do you recognize that sigil?"Ismene's face had drained of what little color remained after the night's exhaustion. "The Hollow Court's oldest mark," she said. "Before they hid behind gray robes and quiet infiltration. I've only seen it depi

EliseThe last of my strength had already spent itself on the shadowed creature's slow, fragile healing, and I felt the ground tilt beneath me the moment I registered what stood at the ridge's base.Isabeau. Bound, gagged, her once-immaculate silver robes torn and streaked with dirt, her eyes wide with a terror I'd never once seen from the composed, calculating woman who'd tried to have me quietly disappeared only days before."They took her from the palace," Alaric said, his voice gone dangerously flat, every trace of the raw, careful tenderness he'd shown the shadowed creature moments ago hardening back into something lethal. "While the council debated. While we were distracted with the valley."The silver-robed woman smiled, thin and satisfied, entirely unbothered by the shift she'd just witnessed — a vast, ancient hunger reduced, before her eyes, to something sma
My Alpha Lost Me To The Lycan King 70. Freedom
King AlaricI threw myself in front of Elise on pure instinct, sword raised though every fiber of me understood, with a sickening certainty, that steel would do nothing against a thing built from three centuries of pure, ravenous absence.The lunge never landed.It stopped inches from us, close enough that I felt the cold, hungry pressure of it against my skin like standing too near an open grave, and then, impossibly, it recoiled — not retreating, but drawing back into itself, some vast internal struggle rippling visibly through its formless bulk."It heard her," Ismene breathed from somewhere behind us, disbelief and terror tangled together in her voice. "Moon Goddess, it actually heard her."*Free,* the creature said again, and this time the word carried something closer to agony than menace, its voice scraping through the air like something t
My Alpha Lost Me To The Lycan King 69. Free
EliseThe shape rising from the valley floor didn't have edges so much as absences — places where the pale morning light simply stopped, swallowed whole before it could complete its arc. I felt it before I fully saw it, a cold, ravenous pressure pressing against the golden-dark-silver current still humming exhausted beneath my ribs, and every instinct I now carried, ancient and new both, screamed the same single warning.*This is not something to be reasoned with. This is something to survive.*"Everyone off the ridge," Alaric said, his voice steady despite the visible terror carved into his face, already pulling at my arm, at Elliott's shoulder, herding the circle of exhausted allies back from the crest. "Now. Whatever that is, we are not equipped to face it standing in the open.""There's nowhere to retreat to," Ismene said grimly, though she was already moving, the injured Sent
My Alpha Lost Me To The Lycan King 68. Devour
King AlaricI felt her fear before I heard it in her voice — raw and sudden, transmitted straight through the joined circle of our hands like a current jumping a gap it shouldn't have been able to cross."Elise, what is it," I said, tightening my grip, refusing to let the bond between us slacken even as her whole body began to tremble with the strain of holding three thousand chains at once."Something old," she gasped, her eyes still closed, her face bone-white beneath the mist gathering along the ridge. "Older than the priests. Older than the first queen's binding. It's — Alaric, it's *waking up*, and I don't think the Hollow Court summoned this army to fight us at all. I think they summoned it to feed something."Beside her, Elise's mother made a strangled sound, her own grip on the circle faltering for a heartbeat before she forced it steady again. "The old
My Alpha Lost Me To The Lycan King 67. Three thousand
EliseThe northern ridge stretched wide and gray beneath a sky still fighting its way toward full morning, mist pooling low across frost-hardened ground, and beyond it, dark and endless as a tide rolling in from some drowned country, the Hollow Court's procession advanced.I had thought, riding out from the palace with Alaric's hand locked tight around mine, that I understood the scale of what we faced. The crystal's image had shown me numbers, formation, the grim, chained shuffle of possessed villagers marched like living kindling toward whatever fire the Court intended to light with them.Standing on the ridge itself, watching that dark tide fill the valley below us from horizon to horizon, I understood I had not understood anything at all."Moon Goddess," Elliott breathed beside me, his voice hollow with the particular horror of a soldier realizing, all at once, that every battle he'd ever fought had been a skirmish by comparison."How many," Alaric asked, though I could see in his
