Ilsa

We should be sleeping. But something about this clearing hums under my skin like static.

Like a storm trying to crawl out of my bones.

The others are settling. Elliott’s wrapped up in Chris, their limbs a mess of sweat and exhaustion. Scarlett and Erik are talking in low voices near the perimeter. Soft enough for the sound to blend with the sighing of the trees.

Caelan is off by himself again, watching the forest with a frown that never seems to leave his beautiful face lately.

And me? I’m pacing.

Because something here is pulling at me again.

The air smells strange. Like iron and ash and old flowers.

The moss feels too soft under my boots, like it might melt if I press too hard.

I pass a cluster of stones, half-sunken into the ground. Ordinary at first glance, but one of them catches the firelight just so, and I freeze.

There’s a rune carved into it.

I crouch to inspect it more closely

It’s deep and old and not just for decoration.

It pulses faintly. With light and a strangely s

  • Rejected by My Mate, Fated to the Lycan King   Chapter 561 Beg Me Like a God, Bite Me Like a Lover

    IlsaCaelan’s smirk pisses me off.Not just because he’s smug. Not just because he knows something I don’t. But because that damned smirk is the only thing I’ve been able to think about for the last six hours.“I don’t need your riddles,” I snap, whirling on him. The others are further ahead, just out of earshot.We’ve paused near another stone circle. Rune-carved and humming with quiet menace.The kind of place that doesn’t forget you.“I’m not offering riddles,” Caelan says smoothly, stepping closer. “I’m offering truth. You just don’t like how it sounds.”“You don’t know what I like.”“Don’t I?”He’s too close. That infuriating silver hair gleams like moonlight, his golden skin haloed by whatever magic clings to this place.His eyes flash like starlight. Too sharp, too knowing.I shove him, but he doesn’t stumble. Just smiles wider.“Careful, little wildling,” he murmurs. “Push me too hard and I’ll push back.”“Why do you always look at me like that?” I ask through gritted teeth.“

  • Rejected by My Mate, Fated to the Lycan King   Chapter 560 We Broke the Sky to Let You In

    OmniscientIt starts with a single crack.Not thunder. Not yet. Just the forest holding its breath before the sky suddenly splits open.This lightning doesn’t flicker, it hunts.Bolts slam into the earth with furious precision, carving trenches of steam into moss and root.The clouds churn above like something angry is watching through them, teeth bared behind each strike.“Move!” Scarlett shouts, hauling Erik toward the treeline.But it doesn’t matter. The lightning follows them.It doesn’t scatter randomly across the sky. It targets them.Elliott grabs Chris by the wrist and yanks him behind a boulder just as a bolt annihilates the path where they were standing.Ilsa shouts something which is lost to the roar, and Caelan, unshaken, his silver eyes gleaming, steps into the center of the chaos like he was born there.He lifts his hands and the wind bends around him.Power rushes through the clearing like breath through lungs, ancient and electric.A ripple of magic spins out from Cael

  • Rejected by My Mate, Fated to the Lycan King   Chapter 558 The Forest Does Not Forget

    ScarlettWe’re not alone here.I don’t mean that something’s following us, though that’s true, too. I mean the forest remembers.It remembers us.The group is taking a short break. Erik and Ilsa are arguing quietly over which direction is safest. Like any direction means safety in a place like this.Chris and Elliott haven’t quite managed to wipe the smug off their faces, which makes me think they weren’t just ‘scouting’ earlier.And Caelan is off by himself again, watching the trees with a frown that never seems to leave him.I drift toward a cluster of trees on the far side of the clearing.My skin is prickling again. Not like my instincts sense danger. More like a sense of recognition. Like something old and vast just whispered my name in a language I used to speak.The trees are wide and smooth-barked here.Their trunks twist slightly, as if they’ve been leaning toward each other for centuries, trying to share secrets they don’t want the wind to hear.And carved into one, so faint

  • Rejected by My Mate, Fated to the Lycan King   Chapter 557 Come Closer, I Dare You

    ElliottNight falls sharp and fast.The others are tucked away in the clearing behind us, lulled into uneasy sleep. But Chris and I are on watch, circling the edge of the warded perimeter, blades and instincts sharp.The sky above us is open, stars like scattered bone across black velvet.Wind slinks through the trees but never touches us directly.It's as if the forest is wary. Or maybe it’s just waiting.Chris stretches beside me, rolling his shoulders, shirt riding up just enough to flash a slice of golden-brown skin and the faintest edge of a scar I gave him.We were sparring. It was one of those afternoons where neither of us wanted to yield.His gaze slides to me and he has that look on his face.Gods.It starts as a gleam. His eyes dragging over me like they’ve done it a thousand times and still aren’t bored.They pause on my mouth, my throat, my hands.And then the corner of his lip curls.Not a smile. A challenge.“You’re staring,” I murmur.“You like it.”He’s not wrong.I c

  • Rejected by My Mate, Fated to the Lycan King   Chapter 556 Every Step Is a Trap

    IlsaThe trees aren’t right.I know I’m not supposed to say that anymore. We’ve all agreed the trees are wrong so many times it’s basically a chorus. But gods, these ones are wrong in new ways.They’re too still. Not silent—still. Like they’re holding position.Watching. Waiting. Biding their time.The sunlight overhead flickers like someone’s dimming and undimming a lantern. No clouds. Just a light that twitches like it can’t decide whether it’s morning or dusk.Scarlett notices first. She always does.“Is it just me,” she says quietly, “Or is the sun moving backward?”Elliott glances up, then away just as fast. “Not gonna look. Not gonna mess with it. I value my sanity, thanks.”Chris mutters something about clocks and head injuries.Erik’s the only one who looks halfway calm, which would be comforting if he didn’t have that soft frown he gets when he’s quietly freaking out.I try not to look at Caelan. But he’s watching the trees like they’ve got knives.“Tell me this isn’t normal,
