SECOND CHANCE: CLAIMED BY THE LYCAN KING CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED TWENTY SEVEN
HUNTER'S POV.The moment Hope disappeared, the entire castle stopped feeling like home.It felt violated, Corrupted. Every hallway suddenly looked dangerous. Every shadow felt like a threat waiting to move. Guards rushed through the corridors carrying out my orders, but the sound around me barely registered properly anymore.All I could think about was her.Hope was gone.Taken from inside my own castle.My jaw tightened so hard it hurt.“She could not have gotten far yet,” Elder Murphy said beside me as we moved quickly through the corridor leading toward the lower tunnels.I did not answer him immediately because if I spoke too soon, I was not sure what would come out of my mouth.Rage was already boiling dangerously close to the surface. The unconscious guard that was revived had been carried upstairs already. Another escort guard had been found dead near the lower passage.His throat had been slit cleanly. This had been the plan all along. It had all been a trap and I had been st

HUNTER'S POV.The moment I realized Hope should have returned already, but was nowhere to be found, something inside me grew restless.I stood abruptly from the chair near the window.Too much time had passed.Far too much. So why was she not back yet? What could the prisoner possibly have to say that would take this long. Unless something else came up while she was there and she had to take care of it, but even so, she would have found a way to let me know.One of the escort guards should have reported back by now at least, knowing that I would be worried if I didn't see her.As if on que, a sharp knock sounded against the door.“Enter.”A guard rushed inside quickly, breathing hard.“My King—”My heart jumped as soon as I saw the panic on his face and I just knew something was wrong.“Where is she?”The guard froze slightly, his eyes darting around the room as if he was looking for an item gone missing.“I… thought she was with you.”Ice flooded my chest instantly.“What?”The guard

HOPE'S POV.Hunter looked at me sharply as soon as the words left my mouth.“No.”“He may actually know something.” I tried to reason with him, but Hunter immediately shook his head.“Or this could be another trap. I don't trust this, Hope. It's too convenient.”“That does not mean we ignore it.”His eyes narrowed slightly.“You are not going down there alone.”“I won’t be alone.” I said.Hunter shook his head immediately.“This entire thing feels wrong. You just got attacked and almost died, Hope. How are you not being more careful right now?”He was angry and I understood why.Honestly I did. Part of me agreed.But another part of me kept thinking about the symbol.About the flashes.About the prisoners kneeling in the snow. If one of those men knew something, we could not afford to lose it.“If they’re executed tomorrow before we question them properly, then we lose possible answers,” I argued carefully.Hunter’s jaw clenched again.“We can question them without involving you.”“Bu

HOPE’S POV.The silence between us felt fragile after everything that happened in the tunnels. Hunter still stood near the window overlooking the dark forest beyond the castle walls, but the anger from earlier had faded now. What remained behind looked worse. Exhaustion. Real exhaustion.The kind that settled deep into someone’s bones after carrying too much for too long.I watched him carefully from where I stood beside him. His shoulders were tense beneath his shirt, and every now and then his fingers flexed slightly at his sides like he was trying to steady himself without anyone noticing.But I noticed.His eyes remained fixed on the forest outside, distant and unfocused, like part of him was still trapped somewhere inside those broken flashes from the past.“I don’t know what’s happening to me anymore,” he admitted quietly.The words hurt more than I expected, not because of what he said, but because of how lost he sounded saying it. I stepped closer slowly until I was standing d

HOPE'S POV. The guard looked startled too, even though I assume he should know Hunter well considering he's a pack guard. But even he seemed shocked by the pronouncement.“My King?” he asked carefully.“You heard me,” Hunter said without hesitation. “The me will be executed at sunrise. All of them.”Horror rushed through me so fast I could barely process it.“Hunter!” I said sharply.He ignored me completely and kept talking like he didn't even hear me.“They infiltrated this castle,” he continued coldly. “They attacked inside our walls. They murdered our people.”His jaw tightened hard.“For that, they die. Tomorrow.”The guard bowed quickly, though uncertainty was written all over his face.“As you command, my King.”Then he turned and hurried away as if he couldn't get away from him fast enough.I turned toward Hunter immediately.“What are you doing?”His eyes shifted to me slowly.“What needs to be done.”“No,” I said firmly. “That is not what this is.”His expression darkened i

HOPE’S POV.The dagger had hit the ground with a sharp metallic sound, but Hunter barely seemed to hear it.He staggered backward suddenly, one hand bracing hard against the tunnel wall while the other clutched his head like he was trying to stop something from tearing through his mind.“Hunter!”I grabbed his arm immediately, but his entire body was tense beneath my touch.His breathing had changed.It was rough and uneven, and his eyes were unfocused, staring somewhere far beyond the tunnel walls around us.“Hunter, look at me,” I said quickly.He blinked once, hard, but it did not help.Then he spoke.“Fire…”His voice sounded distant and confused.I frowned in confusion at the word, and my heart started pounding harder.“What?”Another sharp breath left him before he spoke again.“There was fire,” he muttered. “The trees… goddess… everything was burning…”The guards around us exchanged uneasy looks.One of the warriors stepped forward carefully. “My King—”“Not now,” I snapped wit

HOPE’S POV.When we finally pulled apart, it wasn’t by much. Just enough to breathe. My chest rose and fell too fast, my heart still racing like it was trying to catch up with everything that had just happened.I could still feel his lips on mine.Still feel his hand at the back of my neck.Still f

HOPE’S POV.The hotel felt too quiet.Every single time anyone looked my way, a part of me—the part that was still too sensitive and self-conscious from what happened—started to feel like they knew. If I saw two or more people talking, I felt like they were talking about me.Suddenly, everything fe

HUNTER'S POV.“Leave,” I said firmly.Seraphina didn’t move.Instead, she stepped closer again—too close this time.Before I could react, her hand reached out and grabbed my arm.I immediately pulled away.“Don’t touch me,” I said, my voice low.Her eyes widened slightly, like she didn’t expect tha

HUNTER'S POV.By the time I left the meeting hall, my head was still spinning.The elders’ words echoed in my mind, over and over again. Alpha King. Responsibility. Truth.None of it felt real.Or maybe it felt too real.I didn’t remember anything about being a king. I didn’t remember a palace, or
