Serena’s POV

The report came in wrong. It was too fast, out of breath, too hopeful.. When a scout is hopeful it usually means he is about to tell me something I don’t t want to hear.

He knelt which was a smart move. I told him to speak. He did not look up at me.

“The fractures did not hold, my Lady." Of course, they did not. Not because the work was sloppy. Because she moved faster than I gave her credit for.

I leaned back slowly. I let my eyes go to the map while he kept talking. "She pull

  • Rejected and Banished: Claimed by the Lycan King   Shadows Before The Blood

    LYRAThe war had started.It was not the kind of war that people usually think of.It did not begin with announcements or fanfare.It just crept in like something that you cannot see.At first, we saw smoke in the distance.Then people started running to our kingdom, Stormclaw.These people were scared and hurt.They had lost their homes and everything they owned.By the end of the week, our kingdom was full of people who had nowhere else to go.They all told the same story.They said that the bad people came at dawn burned everything and asked about my sons, the twins.Those words scared me the most.Serena was not just fighting a war she was hunting my children.Every report we got said the same thing.Her soldiers would attack a village, ask about the twins, and then burn everything to the ground.She wanted to scare people before she even got to our kingdom.It was working.I stood on the wall watching as another village burned.I was so angry that I said loudly, "I will kill her.

  • Rejected and Banished: Claimed by the Lycan King   The Weight Of A Promise

    ARESWar has a sound.Most people think it starts with swords clashing or armies marching. They are wrong, war starts before the first fight. It starts in silence. You can hear it in the footsteps of messengers running to deliver news. You can hear it in the sound of blacksmiths hammering away at steel long after the sun has gone down. You can even hear it in the way mothers hold their children a little closer, not even realizing they are doing it. You can hear it in the way soldiers laugh a little louder than usual because they are scared that tomorrow might take away their voices forever.I have lived through wars, so I know all the signs. The Mansion is not peaceful anymore. It is getting ready for a fight. From the tower, I look out over the kingdom that has become my home. The training grounds are full of warriors. Archers line the walls. The gates have been made stronger twice in three days. Supply wagons keep coming into the courtyard. Every commander is tired, every soldier is

  • Rejected and Banished: Claimed by the Lycan King   Queen of Ashes

    Serena.People always make the mistake when they think about me.They think that when you lose the game is over.They think that when you are defeated it is forever.They think that when you are humiliated you are broken.That is not true.I am not broken.I am stronger because of what happened to me.It made me sharper more focused.I stood on the balcony looking out at the camp below me.There were thousands of soldiers row after row of tents fires burning through the night.It was a sight my army waiting for me to tell them what to do.The same people who laughed at me when Kael sent me away now they are afraid of me.It is funny how quickly things can change.I wrapped my cloak around me feeling the cold night air.I was not cold because I was thinking about victory and that always feels warm.Then I heard a knock at the door.I did not turn around I just said "come in".The door opened, I heard boots walking across the floor.It was Raze, my lover, the commander in the Syndicate.

  • Rejected and Banished: Claimed by the Lycan King   The Calm Before The Storm (Part 2)

    LYRAThree days.That was all it took for Stormclaw to change completely.Three days after the scout arrived with Serena’s threat.Three days after Kael met his sons.Three days after we learned a new war was coming.The kingdom no longer felt peaceful.It felt like everyone was watching.Like an animal sensing danger in the forest.Everyone could feel it.The guards.The servants.The citizens.Even the twins.Especially the twins.Kids are often smarter than grown-ups think.They notice tension.Fear.Changes in behavior.There have been plenty of changes lately.The castle was always busy.Soldiers trained from sunrise to night.Blacksmiths worked all the time.Messengers kept arriving.Commanders rarely left the war room.The whole kingdom was getting ready for battle.Somehow I found myself thinking about Kael.Again.It was frustrating.I had convinced myself that part of my life was over.Finished.Buried.Then he showed up looking like a man with a lot of guilt.Now I couldn’t

  • Rejected and Banished: Claimed by the Lycan King   The Calm Before The Storm

    LYRAIf someone had told me a year ago that Kael would show up at my gates looking nervous and unsure of himself, I would not have believed them.Here we were.Life has a way of surprising us all.Even kings are not immune to this.The night after the scout brought me Serena's message, I could not sleep.The whole kingdom was on edge.The guards were patrolling often.Messengers were going up and down all night.The commanders were meeting in the war rooms.They were spreading out maps on tables, discussing strategies.Preparations were starting away.Through all of this, one thought kept going through my mind.Kael had finally met his sons.I still could not believe it.I sat by the nursery window. Watched as the sun came up.The twins were sleeping.This was a new thing.One of them was down in his bed.The other was wrapped up in his blanket like a bug.I smiled despite everything that was going on.Then my thoughts went back to the dayI thought about the look on Kaels' face when

  • Rejected and Banished: Claimed by the Lycan King   A Reunion

    KAELI was hiding behind the trees.I should have come out and introduced myself.I should have ridden up to the gate and asked to see them.I should have acted like a king.I just stood there watching the life I used to be a part of.The twins were. Having a great time.One of them was sitting on Ares's shoulders. The other was holding his arm, asking to be picked up too.Ares looked like he was at his wits' end."I only have two shoulders," he said.The little boy looked unhappy with that answer.Lyra was laughing.It sounded beautiful.It was a sound that made everything feel better.When I opened my eyes again, she was still smiling at Ares.It hit me that I wasn't feeling jealous.I just felt sad.Because I knew that smile.It meant she trusted him.Maybe she even loved him.I couldn't blame her for that.I watched Ares. I saw how the twins loved him.No love wasn't the word.They depended on him.They trusted him completely.One of the boys almost fell, but Ares caught him befor

    KAELI watched as the color slowly disappeared from Serena's face. It was a change, but I noticed it. I see everything. The way her eyes widened slightly, the way her jaw tightened, and the way her fingers curled into her dress. I saw the fear in her eyes.I had finally scared her. This realization

  • 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

    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.
