Surrogate for the Lycan King Chapter Seventy-One — One Rule
Zeus's Pov I'd known for three hours that she slipped past her guards.I stood in her sitting room because pacing my own study had stopped helping somewhere around the forty-minute mark, my wolf pacing under my skin instead, restless and snarling at the empty chair across from me. I wasn't angry that she'd left the palace. She always had the tendency to do that. I always wondered why she hadn’t. I was angry that she'd gone to him. And that she hadn't told me.The door opened just past the hour mark and Kelsey stepped in, already reaching to pull her shawl tighter around her shoulders, and stopped the second she saw me standing there."Zeus."One hand still on the frame, caught somewhere between walking in and bolting."Kelsey." I didn't move from where I stood. "You're here.""I am.""And where are you coming from, little menace?"I pushed off the wall and started walking toward her, slow and unhurried, watching her eyes track every step."I was just… The market–" she started."Tsk,

KELSEY’S POV I didn't move from the chair, even after the silence between us had stretched long enough that Lucian moved uncomfortably across the table."I'm not leaving until you tell me everything you actually know," I said. "Kelsey, I've already told you more than—""More than you meant to. I understand that but honestly don't care. This is my life we are talking about." I kept my voice steady, even though nothing inside me felt steady at all. "You said your family has fragments of her history. I need to know what's in them."He studied me a long moment, weighing something behind his eyes, before he finally sat back and let out a slow breath."The official history," he said, "the part every child in this kingdom is taught, claims Aurelia disappeared without an heir and her line ended with her, which is why the Crown had to search centuries later for any blood compatible enough to carry the royal bloodline forward again.""But.""But there are older accounts," he said. "Ones that

Chapter Sixty-Nine — Memory without meaning Kelsey’s POVI woke up before the sun rose, the name still sitting in my head and echoing through my thoughts.Aurelia.I lay there a long while, staring at the ceiling and testing whether the familiar feeling from last night had faded with sleep the way dreams usually do. But It hadn't. If anything, it felt sharper now, more insistent, like a splinter working its way closer to the surface instead of settling deeper.I thought about going to tell Varian first.He'd want to write it down and reduce it to data instead of dealing with what it actually felt like sitting in my ribs.I thought about Zeus too, and that thought stayed with me for only a second before I pushed it away, uncomfortable with how fast I'd dismissed it.I didn't want the name fixed into reports like one more data point in an investigation that had already swallowed every other part of my life.I wanted to know what it meant before anyone else decided what to do with that k
Surrogate for the Lycan King Chapter Sixty-Eight — Aurelia
Chapter Sixty-Eight — AureliaKelsey's point of view Zeus came back long after I'd stopped pretending I wasn't waiting up for him.I heard his boots in the corridor before I saw him, slower than usual, and when he finally walked into the small sitting room where me, Marcus and Varian had gathered, I knew immediately something had happened. He wasn't angry or frustrated the way he usually looked after a Council session. He looked like a man thinking about something over and over in his head, trying to find the side that made sense.That worried me more than anger would have."Well?" Marcus asked, before Zeus had even sat down.Zeus told us everything. Lucian's confession about his father stopping him from seeing the collection years ago. The fear in the man's face was more alarming than anger would have been. And the knowledge that other kings, going back through generations, had pursued the same answers only to abandon the search in silence, leaving no explanation behind."He doesn't
Surrogate for the Lycan King Chapter Sixty-Seven — Secret Behind the Door
Chapter Sixty-Seven — Secret Behind the DoorLucian POV.The meeting was technically over but neither of us left. I'd said more than I planned to say when walking in, and Zeus had given me almost nothing in return, which told me plenty on its own.A servant came in, refilled our drinks without a word, and slipped back out quietly, the door clicking shut behind her. That small sound seemed to settle something in the room. We were alone now, properly alone, in a way that made whatever came next feel like it wouldn't leave these walls.Zeus set his glass down without drinking from it."Why are you protecting something you know nothing about?"That was a fair question. I'd asked myself the same thing more times than I could count, usually late at night or after another request landed on my desk that I'd bury without a second thought because that was simply what I did. It was duty."When I was younger," I said, "I asked a lot of questions about it. About the Collection Seventeen and the fa
Surrogate for the Lycan King Chapter Sixty-Six — A Secret Nobody Understood
Chapter Sixty-Six — A Secret Nobody UnderstoodZeus's POVThe hunting estate stayed quiet under the grey afternoon sky. I arrived first. A handful of guards waited by the gate, and that was all. No Marcus or Kelsey. Whatever Lucian D'Averon wanted to say, he'd asked for two men and nothing more, and I'd decided to give him exactly that.He rode in alone not long after. Had no family escort trailing behind him or a noble entourage meant to make him look important. Just Lucian, on a plain horse, dressed like a man visiting a neighbor rather than an heir stepping into a meeting with the king.That told me something before he'd even dismounted. A man doesn't come alone to a private meeting with the King unless he's either supremely confident or genuinely out of better options. Either way, he'd walked out from behind his family's protection to sit across from me, and that meant something had changed enough to matter on his end."Your Majesty." He inclined his head down to the exact degree.
