LYRA

For 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.

  • Rejected and Banished: Claimed by the Lycan King   What Kings Fear

    ARESWar changes people. It makes them tougher. That is the thing I learned when I became a ruler. War takes away the parts of people. It takes away the lies people tell themselves so they can sleep better at night.Some people become cowards when things get tough. Some people become mean.. Some people become the person they were meant to be. Lyra stood in the middle of the war room with a silver fog around her boots. It looked like the fog was moving on its own. I realized I was watching something important happen. I thought to myself anyone who tries to stand against her will be in big trouble.The commanders around the table were talking in low voices. They were looking at a map, talking about what was happening in the war. Some scouts were going back and forth, bringing news from the front lines.I heard that the enemy's supply lines were falling apart. Some villages were giving up without a fight.. Our enemy, Kael was pulling his troops back to the capital. Everything was going

  • Rejected and Banished: Claimed by the Lycan King   StormClaw’s Reckoning

    SERENAI stopped sleeping for three days. Maybe four. Time had started blending the moment the western towers fell. Now everything was in pieces.Smoke.Blood.ReportsScreaming.More smoke.The war room smelled like sweat and fear. I hated it. Stormclaw Keep used to smell clean. Pinewood fires, polished stone, expensive oils burning through silver lanterns. Now it smelled like panic and loss.I was starting to understand something losing had a sound. It wasn't battle cries, it was whispers. The quiet muttering every time another scout returned. The way servants avoided my eyes. The way commanders spoke was softer now.I stood over the war table while a messenger finished speaking. "Three more supply routes collapsed during the night." My nails dug harder into the wood. "How?" The scout swallowed. "The mist." Ofcourse, it’s the mist. Always the mist."It swallowed the pass entirely " he said shakily. "Our men couldn't see each other. Some turned on their units. Others ran into ravin

  • Rejected and Banished: Claimed by the Lycan King   Ash Beneath a Steady hand

    LYRAThe smoke never really left my lungs anymore. It was always there a reminder of what I had been through.When I was standing on the battlefield, when I was behind walls that were falling apart, even when I closed my eyes at night the smoke stayed with me. It was like a ghost inside my chest a reminder that this war had found me just like storms find the coastline.I walked through a corridor in what used to be a school. Now it was a place where our commanders made plans. Maps were everywhere. It was very quiet. I touched the stone walls as I walked feeling the cracks with my fingers. It was something I did without thinking like I was trying to see what would happen next.The sky was loud above us. It was not the weather. I did not jump. I was used to it by now."Tell me what is happening " I said. My voice was steady even though my body wanted to show that I was scared.A young scout came forward. She had dust on her eyelashes. She was very young, not more than nineteen years old

  • Rejected and Banished: Claimed by the Lycan King   The Sound of Collapse

    KAELThe war started before the sun came up.It did not start with an announcement.It did not start cleanly.There was no message from the royal family.No group of people sat around a fancy table to discuss the problems between our lands.War came quickly and quietly like a knife to the throat.It happened fast.It happened without warning.We were already hurt before we even knew what was happening.I remember the moment everything changed.The watchtower to the west started burning, first with a flame, then with a silver one.I was standing on the walls of Stormclaw Keep watching the smoke rise into the dark sky.The smoke was turning, carrying the smell of burnt wood and hot metal across the mountains.The tower was really away more than two miles.I could still hear the people screaming.My generals were shouting orders around me and soldiers were rushing to the walls trying to get organized.They were all too slow.Everyone was too slow.Because nobody really thought she would

  • Rejected and Banished: Claimed by the Lycan King   The Queen at the Border

    LYRAWar is not what I thought it would be. I mean people always talk about how loud it is.. The truth is, it is really quiet. That is the part. Everyone says that battle is about screaming and fighting.. Real war is not like that. It starts with silence.. Waiting. It is the time before someone decides to stop being kind.I was standing on a hill looking over the Stormclaw land. There was a mist around my feet that looked like it was alive. Below me, thousands of soldiers are waiting. They were under flags with silver on them. Those flags were mine. It still feels strange to say that. I do not just mean the army. I mean that I belong to something. For most of my life, I had to make myself small and quiet to survive.. Now people do not look at me like that. Not the soldiers, not the leaders, not the mist around me.. Definitely not Ares.I felt Ares before I saw him. He was warm and strong. He came to stand beside me without making a sound. His black armor shone in the moonlight. His da

  • 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
