Ilsa

I’ve been running through these woods since I was old enough to shift. Old enough to know how to listen.

But nothing about this part of the forest feels familiar.

It’s too quiet.

Not the kind of silence that comes with peace, but the kind that makes your skin prickle and your instincts scream.

The kind of silence that follows something ancient waking up.

Caelan walks beside me like he belongs here.

Barefoot, again. As if he can’t feel the twigs and stones and needles pricking at his soles.

There’s no crunch of twigs beneath him, no sound at all. He puts any werewolf to shame.

The breeze is stirring the edges of his white-blond hair, and his silver eyes are cutting through the trees ahead like he already knows where we’re going.

I should ask him more questions.

I want to ask him more questions.

But whenever I do, he answers like he’s telling a riddle to a child.

Not unkind. Just... evasive. Distracting. Too smooth.

And gods help me, it’s working. Because the longer I look at him,

  • Rejected by My Mate, Fated to the Lycan King   Chapter 546 What They Buried, What Still Breathes

    ElliottIt’s like the forest wants to be quiet.Not peaceful, never that, but intentionally silent, like it’s holding its breath.Watching us stumble through a story we were never meant to read.Chris walks ahead of me, his movements sharp but fluid. Blades strapped across his back like second skin, tension wound tight in his shoulders.He doesn’t like it here, none of us do, but he wears his unease like armor.I wear mine like fog in my chest, heavy and spreading.Every time he hears a sound that doesn’t belong, something too soft, or too sharp, he glances over his shoulder.Always looking for me. Always making sure I’m still here. Just one glance, and I breathe easier.But then the forest takes its opportunity.One misstep. A shallow ridge hidden beneath fallen leaves. My boot catches, and I fall forward hard.My palms scrape against packed earth, the sting of impact blooming across my hands. A scatter of dry leaves flies up around me.Chris is at my side in less than a second. “El,

  • Rejected by My Mate, Fated to the Lycan King   Chapter 544 I Could Burn the World for You

    ErikShe tells me everything.Her voice is low, rough with the weight of it.How the tree lit up when she touched it, how her name burned into her skin like a claim, how it hasn’t faded.I don’t say the things she expects. No fear. No disbelief. No attempt to make it smaller than it is. I just watch her.Scarlett, fierce and golden and afraid in ways she doesn't know how to name.She’s standing at the edge of something vast and ancient, and I know better than to try and pull her back from it.She doesn’t need rescue.She needs my support.So I step closer. Close enough to feel the heat radiating off her skin, and I say nothing.I reach for her hand and gently push her sleeve back.The mark is still there, faint now, but glowing softly in the dim light. Her name, curled in radiant gold like it was written by a god.I press my lips to it. Once. Slow. Devotional.Her breath catches and she sways forward like she can’t help it, like some magnetic thread between us just tugged tight.“What

  • Rejected by My Mate, Fated to the Lycan King   Chapter 543 The Forest Marks Its Own

    ScarlettThe moment my fingers brush the bark, the forest reacts.Not with a whisper or a sigh, but with a sharp blaze of heat that jumps straight up my arm like wildfire.Golden script curls and coils over my skin.My name, written in letters that glow like they’re forged from the sun itself.I jerk my hand back, eyes wide, heart hammering hard enough to drown out the sounds of the woods.The burn fades as fast as it flared, but the mark stays. Bright and impossible to ignore.I stare at it like it’s some cruel trick, but it isn’t fading, not even a little.The skin underneath feels normal, but the glow pulses faintly, like it’s alive and breathing with me.Around me, the forest is deceptively still.The way the shadows stretch long and lean, the way the breeze twists the leaves, everything looks normal.But it’s not.I can feel it deep in my bones. An itch that’s not physical.The trees hold their secrets tight.I run my fingers over the mark again, tracing the elegant curves and lo

  • Rejected by My Mate, Fated to the Lycan King   Chapter 542 The Forest Asks for Names

    ScarlettThe tree bleeds when I touch it.I’m just pressing a fingertip against the rough bark. Just a moment of pressure. And then I feel the warmth blooming under my touch.Not sap. Not moisture.Blood.Thick, dark, and slow, welling up from beneath the bark like it’s got veins.Like it’s alive in the same way I am.Behind me, Erik swears.I glance over my shoulder, and he’s already there, hand at the hilt of his knife. Not drawing it yet, but close.Ilsa steps up beside him. Her nostrils are flaring as she scents the air.“That’s not human blood,” she murmurs.She’s right.It smells like copper and rot and pine needles crushed underfoot. Like history. Like hunger. It smells like the woods themselves have turned inside out.And then I hear it.My name being called again.Not out loud, not quite.It’s in the bark. In the root. In the soft hush of the leaves overhead.Scarlett.I jerk back like I’ve been burned.“What is it?” Erik says, instantly on alert, ready to jump to my defense.

  • Rejected by My Mate, Fated to the Lycan King   Chapter 541 A Bed of Pine Needles and Sin

    Ilsa“Come with me,” he whispers in the early hours of the morning.I don’t trust him.Not with his sunlight skin and starlight eyes.Not with the way the forest went quiet when he stepped through the fog. Like it was holding its breath for him.But gods, he’s beautiful.He’s still bleeding a little, but his injuries are shallow. More like battle-kisses than wounds.And he moves like someone who’s not quite solid, his body a shimmer of shadow and gleam beneath the moss-slicked leather.His hair is silver-blond, long and slightly tangled, and there’s something faintly glowing beneath his skin. Like the last embers of a fallen star.And when he looks at me, I feel something in my stomach clench and unravel all at once.I know this is probably a decision bordering on lunacy, but I’m already up and walking toward him.“Do you always follow strange men into dark places?” he calls softly over his shoulder.I grin. “Only the pretty ones.”He laughs.It’s not a sound of delight. It’s dark hon
