Lyra

I found out from Darric.

Not from Ares. Ares would not tell me until I asked him, and I would not have asked if I had not seen Darric order the border patrols doubled and the archers to be set on the south wall.

"Are you expecting trouble?" I asked.

Darric stopped moving. "The King went to Stormclaw three days ago," he answered.

My knees would not hold me up. I had to sit down on the training post. "He what?" I was surprised.

"He warned them. He told the Alpha to call off his scouts. He to

  • Rejected and Banished: Claimed by the Lycan King   When Kingdoms Burn

    SERENAThe first body hit the gates before sunrise.I watched it swing from the walls of Stormclaw Keep while cold wind tore through the courtyard hard to sting my skin raw.The corpse twisted slowly on the rope.A rogue.Mine.Rather—formerly mine.His throat had been opened enough to expose bone.And nailed to his chest was a silver dagger.Not ordinary silver.Silver Queen silver.The blade gleamed pale beneath torchlight carved with roots twisting around a crown.A message.Not subtle.Not merciful.War had begun.The guards refused to touch the body at first.That annoyed me more than the corpse itself.Cowards.Every single one of them.I descended the stone stairs slowly while servants scattered from my path like birds. The entire fortress felt wrong this morning.Too tense.Awake.Fear moved through these halls now.Not whispers.Not rumors.Fear.Real fear.Every corridor carried the same name beneath its breath.Lyra.I hated how quickly it happened.How fast she transforme

  • Rejected and Banished: Claimed by the Lycan King   What The Night Allowed

    ARESThe fortress never truly slept anymore.Not since Lyra opened the gates.Not since silver banners rose beside Lycan Stormclaw grey. It was like a declaration.War breathed through these halls now.I could feel it in the stone beneath my boots.Guards were tense.Soldiers trained late at night. They did not want to be weak.Tonight I was not thinking about war.Lyra was.Again.Always.It was a pattern.I stood in the courtyard. The eastern cliffs were below me. Cold wind hit me hard. It stung my skin.Mist rolled through forests. It was like black waves. A queen controlled it. Lyra did not fully understand her power.Maybe she did.That scared me.The doors behind me opened softly.I did not turn.The air changed when Lyra entered.She had power.Ancient. Female. Hungry.She still sounded like herself."You disappeared " she said.I looked over my shoulder.Lyra stood in the doorway. She wore silver fabric. Her hair was loose. It was black with silver strands.Gods.Every day she

  • Rejected and Banished: Claimed by the Lycan King   Blood Remembers.

    LYRAThe war room was the place I wanted to be in. I was not afraid of it though. I had rebuilt myself in rooms like this. Stone walls, maps with edges, candlelight, strategy blood drying somewhere nearby. War made sense to me. War was honest. It asked for something. Took it simple and clean.Family on the other hand, was where things got complicated. I stared at the woman across from me. I could not decide whether to hug her, interrogate her, or accuse someone of playing with my mind. She looked like me. Not fully not enough to be comforting just enough to be unsettling. We had the eyes, the same sharp cheekbones, and the same silver threaded through our dark hair.The difference was how she held herself, like she had spent years surviving rooms built to kill her, not physically but strategically. I recognized that posture instantly. Ares stood near the door, not intruding, not leaving his arms crossed, his face unreadable, but I felt his attention moving between us like a blade test

  • Rejected and Banished: Claimed by the Lycan King   The First Time He Said No

    SERENAI did not breathe until the doors closed behind me.This was not because I was scared.I was just really angry.When you are really angry, you feel small and tight like you are going to burst.You feel human. I did not want to feel human right now.Not after what happened with Kael.I locked the door so hard that the metal hurt my palm.This was the thing to do, but it was also kind of useful.I needed something to block out the humiliation I just felt.Kael sent me away. He did not just threaten to do it.He actually did it. He did it in a really calm way.This is what really got to me.I do not like it when people are calm and collected because it makes me feel like I am not in control.What I saw in Kael's eyes was not anger; it was clarity.It was like he had finally figured something out. It was cold and sharp.It was like a knife that had been hidden. Now it was pointed right at me.I walked across the room fast, my boots hitting the marble floor too hard.My hands were s

  • Rejected and Banished: Claimed by the Lycan King   No More Lies

    KAELI found Serena before the sun came up.I was not looking for her. I guess the universe wanted me to find her quickly.Serena was standing alone in the corridor looking at something in her hands.It was a letter of course.We always seem to find letters and secrets people have written on pieces of paper, trying to make the lies seem hurtful.She looked up when she heard my boots coming.For a moment, I saw her trying to figure out what my face was telling her.She knew this was not going to be a nice conversation.It was nice to see her worried for a change."Kael " she said. She did not smile.That was interesting.Maybe she was finally learning that she could not just smile and make everything okay.I stopped a foot away from her.I did not want to get close.I did not want to touch her.There was a time when I did not mind being near her. That was a big mistake."How long?" I asked her directly.I did not want to play games or waste time."How long have you been working with th

  • Rejected and Banished: Claimed by the Lycan King   The Dead Do Not Knock

    LYRAFor one second I forgot how to breathe.Air stopped moving in my throat.The ruined garden around me blurred into silver mist, curling around broken marble.It was as if even the garden did not know how to react to this situation.My mother stood in front of me. I still can't wrap my head around the fact that's she’s here. Alive.She was not a memory or a ghost.She was real. That was a lot to take in.My mother was older than I remembered her with lines on her face.Time had changed her. She seemed quieter and harder.She was still my mother and that was what mattered.Ares' sword was still pointed at her throat, which was comforting in a way.I was considering taking the sword from him which was not an idea."Say that again " I said, trying to sound calm.My voice sounded wrong though. It was thin and not like mine.My mother looked at me steadily. Said, "Your father is alive."There was no hesitation in her voice, which made it worse.I laughed, it was not a happy sound.It wa
