Primal Craving Chapter 136
“Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.” — Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince. LILAH Everything had changed. And not the good kind of change, like when Cammy let me wear her sparkly headband to school, even though it made my hair stick up funny. Not like when Bill built us a blanket fort and said it was our “castle,” and I got to be queen for the whole afternoon. This kind of change felt… cold. Like when you wake up and all your favorite toys are still there, but the house doesn’t feel happy anymore. “Lilah, what do you want for breakfast?” Aunt Lily signed at me. Her hands moved faster, like she’d been practicing sign language in secret. I understood most of what she said these days, even the little words. Cammy appeared beside her, holding a bottle to Aria’s mouth. Aria’s tiny fingers were curled around it like she was scared someone might steal it. Her eyes were big

“We are all broken, that’s how the light gets in.”— Leonard Cohen.ROWAN The silence after exile was louder than the verdict itself."Rowan, where are you going?" Lily called out after me."A walk," I responded with a forced smile.Her hand paused mid-stir, the wooden spoon hovering over the bowl. Her eyes swept over me, searching, measuring, maybe realizing that the walk wasn’t really about fresh air. After a moment, she nodded."Okay, be safe," she murmured, turning back inside.A sigh slipped past my lips as I stepped out the door, into the night. The air felt heavier. Maybe that was the price of change. Nothing around me had truly shifted, yet somehow, everything had.Lucien always had a plan. We were now at the borderlands, a stretch of no man’s land where no pack dared to claim authority. Stray wolves, rogues, and the occasional human drifted through, each chasing their own kind of survival.It was close enough to human civilization to smell their fires at night, yet far enoug

The longest journeys are to the door. — T.S. Eliot CAMELLIA I’d spent months learning how not to tremble before Leonardo, but all it took was three words to undo me. “He does have a point, they are his heirs—” an alpha started to say, but Lucien cut him off with a roar that shook the table. “I may have been stripped of my title, but I’m still alpha until those papers are signed, and I will use what’s left of my power to snap the neck of anyone who says that again,” Lucien said, his voice low and lethal. The alpha who spoke sank deeper into his seat in fear. “Let’s go. We have a long way to go,” Lucien said, already tugging my hand toward the door. “My grandchildren are going to—” Lucien moved before the sentence left the air, his palm at Leonardo’s throat, pinning him to the wall until the plaster cracked. “You want to talk about grandchildren?” Lucien ground out, his fingers steady at Leonardo's throat. “You are no family of mine. Say that word again, and I’ll make sure t
Primal Craving Chapter 134
"The rule is to choose between one crime and another." — Emil Cioran. LEONARDO A father should never have to sentence his own blood, but a king doesn’t get to be a father. The chamber was finally quiet. No more shouting, no more useless pleas, just silence, the kind that tasted like power settling back into its rightful place. I let my gaze linger on the empty chair at the end of the table. His chair. The one that had sat there for years, daring to challenge me without a word. “You see?” I murmured to no one in particular. “Even the wildest sons learn to kneel eventually.” Around me, the councilmen were still avoiding my eyes, pretending to busy themselves with scrolls and signatures. They wouldn’t look at me. It wasn’t out of fear, but respect, the kind that comes when a man reminds them what a crown really costs. I had restored order. I had reminded them who the Alpha truly was. And as for Lucien… His exile wasn’t punishment. It was mercy. Vorath rose from his seat,

“A man may lose his throne, his power, even his world, but the fire in his heart cannot be exiled.”— Kael Drako.LUCIEN For the first time in years, my father’s voice made my hands shake, and just like that, I was a child again, hiding behind my mother’s trembling hands, praying he wouldn’t raise his voice or his belt.“Shit,” I heard Damien mutter.The decision wasn’t even made yet, but my mind was already calculating the next move if it were to happen.I’d go to England with Camellia, the kids, and the rest of them. I’d liquidate my assets. I had enough money to cater for us.But England wasn’t home. It wasn’t safe. It wasn’t ours.The council had reach everywhere, and exile didn’t mean peace, it meant running.It meant watching my children’s future collapse before it even began. My years of fighting, planning, protecting, all gone with one council vote.The thought of my pack back under my father’s hand made my stomach turn. I’d seen what his leadership did to men who once had fi

“There is no greater curse than to be born of a wicked father.”— Euripides.DARIUS Even before they spoke, I could smell trouble hiding behind their polite smiles. Every instinct in me said something was about to go very, very wrong.It wasn’t the fact that Lucien’s father was still seated on Lucien’s Alpha chair, refusing to move, that had my attention.It was the bloody sack on the table, reeking of rot and decay, filling the council hall with its stench.This summon hadn’t come with an agenda like every other meeting before it. No explanations. No courtesy.Just word that every Alpha was to be present, today.What the hell was going on?“Move, old man,” Lucien said through gritted teeth, but Leonardo only smirked.He placed a hand under his chin, pretending to think, before finally standing.“I suppose I should let you feel the chair one more time,” he said casually, stepping aside.The poor Beta in the next seat must’ve felt initiated by proximity because he stood immediately an
