LYRA'S POV

I did not sleep that night. Not for one minute. The conversation with my father kept playing over and over in my head. Each thing he said was worse than the last. I thought about the war, the prophecy, the poison, and the Order of Ash. I thought about how someone might have been trying to hurt my children before they were even born. Every thought led to another question. Every answer made me think of something scarier.

I stood on the balcony of the nursery for a time, looking out at

  • Rejected and Banished: Claimed by the Lycan King   The Smile That Slipped

    KAELPretending to be broken is really hard.I never knew how much effort it took to act crazy until I had to do it every single day.Every expression I make has to be fake.Every word I say has to sound like I'm confused.Every time I look at someone, I have to make sure my eyes are empty.I have to walk like I am stumbling.I have to forget things that I actually remember.I have to talk to people who're not even there.I have to laugh when nothing's funny.I have to cry when nothing's sad.Serena believes all of it.That is what really scares me.She never questions it.Not even once.Maybe she wants to believe it.Maybe she is just not paying attention because she thinks she is better than me.Maybe she really thinks she has broken me.I almost think she is clever.Almost.I sat by the palace window, looking at the gardensThe sun was going down.The flowers were blooming again.A month ago, I would have thought it was beautiful.Now it just looks away.Like it belongs to someone

    LYRA'S POVI did not sleep that night. Not for one minute. The conversation with my father kept playing over and over in my head. Each thing he said was worse than the last. I thought about the war, the prophecy, the poison, and the Order of Ash. I thought about how someone might have been trying to hurt my children before they were even born. Every thought led to another question. Every answer made me think of something scarier.I stood on the balcony of the nursery for a time, looking out at the kingdom in the moonlight. The world looked peaceful and quiet. It was not. It was a lie. Because all I could think about was that I did not know who my enemy was anymore. For months, I thought it was Serena. Now I was not so sure. What if Serena were not the one in charge? What if she were a part of someone else's plan?This thought made my stomach hurt. The wind blew against my skin. Behind me, my twins were sleeping peacefully. They did not know what was going on. They were innocent. This

  • Rejected and Banished: Claimed by the Lycan King   The Unexpected Visit

    LYRAThere were days I almost thought life was getting back to normal.Not really normal.I knew my life would never be normal.Calmer.More manageable.The war was over.Serena was gone from my kingdom.The twins were healthy. Getting stronger every day.Ares was home.The castle wasn't always filled with the sound of death and bloodshed.For the time in months, I could breathe without thinking something bad would happen at sunrise.So I thought.The boys were asleep when the evening started.I stood in the nursery watching them.One tiny chest rises and falls peacefully.Then the other.That sight never got old.Never.Even now.After everything.I still remember losing my third baby like it was an open wound.Some days it hurts less.Days it felt like it just happened.Tonight was one of those nights.I found myself staring at the space between the twins' cradles.The space where another child should have been.The space that should have been filled.A daughter.A son.I would neve

  • Rejected and Banished: Claimed by the Lycan King   The Puppet Opens His Eyes

    KAELThe first thing I noticed was the silence. Not the kind of silence that fills my rooms. Not the silence that falls over Stormclaw at night. The silence inside my own mind. For a time, my thoughts were a mess. There were voices and fragments and memories all mixed up with hallucinations. Dreams and reality were all jumbled together. Every day felt like I was drowning. Every morning started with confusion. Every night ended with uncertainty. I did not know what was real and what was not. I did not know what I saw or what I remembered. I did not even know if I could trust myself.Then slowly the silence came. It did not happen at once. It was like a fog lifting from a valley. Under that fog, I started to find pieces of myself. Some of these pieces were. Some were broken. They were mine. At first, I thought I was just imagining things. Maybe it was another trick or another hallucination. Then I remembered something real. I remembered Lyra standing by a river, laughing and happy. Her

  • Rejected and Banished: Claimed by the Lycan King   Humiliation Breeds Monsters

    SERENAHumiliation has a taste.It is not like pain or anger or shame.It is something entirely.Humiliation tastes like blood, and metal like something that gets stuck in your throat.You cannot swallow it. You cannot spit it out.It just stays with you.It follows you everywhere. It clings to you.It keeps playing over in your head until every little detail feels like a wound.I know what that feels like.I tasted humiliation for days after I left Lyras kingdom.Days turned into never-ending nights.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the throne room and the court and the nobles and the commanders and the soldiers.All of them are staring at me, judging me, watching me.Watching me become a joke.Watching Lyra expose me and throw me out like a criminal.The memory of that day poisoned every moment I was awake.I could not. I could not focus on anything.I could not even enjoy the things that were going right for me.Stormclaw was still under my control. Kael was still broken, and the

  • Rejected and Banished: Claimed by the Lycan King   Get Out Of My Kingdom

    LYRAI spent years learning to control my anger.Years of learning when to fight and when to wait.Years of learning that not every battle was won with claws.Some enemies deserved patience.Others deserved a strategy.Some deserved enough rope to reveal exactly who they were.Serena had just revealed herself.The moment Ares placed the intercepted letters in my hands, I felt something inside me go still.Not calm.Not peaceful.Something colder.More dangerous.The kind of silence that comes before a storm tears a forest apart.I stood in my study reading every page.Then, I read them again.Every line felt like poison.Every word made my grip tighten.Descriptions of my sons.Assessments of their abilities.Estimates of their value.Their value.As though they were objects.As though they were weapons to be bought and sold.As though they weren't children.My children.The room blurred for a moment.Silver mist crept across the floor.The windows rattled.The candles flickered viole
