THE LYCAN KING’S CLAIM CHAPTER SEVENTY NINE
Elara POVThe thick darkness pressed in around me when I woke.It was near suffocating and heavy black that clung to my skin and made it hard to breathe.My head throbbed relentlessly, like a war was happening inside it.I tried to move but a wave of pain ripped through my arms instantly.A sharp gasp tore from my throat as my eyes flew open, that's when it all slammed into me.I was upright, sitting… but not by choice.My wrists were tied up tightly to the arms of a wooden chair with the thick ropes digging painfully into my skin.My ankles were tied too, immobilizing me completely.That's when the panic surged up fast.“No…” I whispered hoarsely.I pulled against the restraints, but the ropes didn’t loosen.They burned against my skin, biting deeper with every struggle.My breathing soon became erratic.Where was I?I took a long look around.The room I was in was small and dim, illuminated by a single lantern hanging on the far wall.The air in the room was stale and heavy, carryin
THE LYCAN KING’S CLAIM CHAPTER SEVENTY EIGHT
ALDRIC POVI pushed the door of tje castle open and stepped through, the warm sun biting dowl my skin.‘Elara was attacked that the square!’Those words still rung in my head.If I get my hands on those brats—Jonas moved beside me, struggling to keep pace.The market square fell silent the moment I stepped into it.Conversations died almost instantly, almost poke a remote muting a channel.I took in the scene a moment longer before stepping through.A few heads bowed hastily when I passed them, others pulling their eyes away from meMost turned away as if pretending I wasn’t there would make me disappear.I didn’t care. Not now atleast.I only cared about Elara…My eyes scanned every face around the square searching for her.Nothing.My chest tightened, my breath shortening as the panic began to creep up my spine like ice water.She wasn’t here.Where was she? She was supposed to be here…?Jonas walked a step behind me keeping his distance.He was also flanked by guards, but their pr

Elara POVThe pain came first.It felt like a knife stabbing me at all sides.The pain was everywhere, like my body had been dipped in fire.My blinked my eyes slowly, catching the wave of sunlight flashing down on me.My legs trembled under me as I pushed myself off the ground, my fingers slipping against my now blood covered skin.Every muscle in my body protested against standing.My head throbbed like something inside it was literally trying to claw its way out of it, and by all means..I swayed, nearly falling again.“No,” I whispered to myself, my teeth clenched tightly. “Not here.”The market square around me was just as lively, people moving tro and fro. It was pole the attack never even happened. Nobody cared enough to help me.But to be honest, part of me was happy that they didn't notice or care enough.I didn’t want questions. I didn’t want pity.. or worse, judgment.I took slow and gentle steps away.Each step I took felt wrong, like my body was no longer listening to me.
THE LYCAN KING’S CLAIM CHAPTER SEVENTY SIX
Aldric POVWhen I moved past Elara, my mind was in chaos. I knew I shouldn't have left her like that abruptly, but right now I needed answers.The not was still clenched in my hand.I stared at it as I walked down the corridor as the words were already burned into my mind. Tick tock.Two simple words.It was a threat, but in my life I've faced and read far worst threats than that and I've always come out on top.But this time, it was different.This time, it wasn’t the words that twisted my gut.It was the symbol.My father’s mark.Seeing that mark again, it stirred something up again.It's like, I could feel him again.. his presence around this castle.Those very dark days of my young life., crawling back into my mind like a disease I thought I had cut out years ago.Whoever wrote this, shouldn't have.It was best to leave dead things as they were. It was better that way.I turned sharply, my boots echoing as I headed toward my mother’s chambers.If anyone understood what this meant…
THE LYCAN KING’S CLAIM CHAPTER SEVENTY FIVE
Elara’s POV“Father…”The word echoed in my head long after Aldric said it.I stared at him, my heart stumbling in my chest as if it had missed a step.“Your father?” I asked, my voice barely steady and even audible. “But he’s—”“Dead?” Aldric finished quietly.He shook his head once, slowly, as if the motion itself pained him. “Yeah. He is.”A chill crawled up my spine.The room suddenly felt too small, the walls closing in as realization settled like a heavy weight in my chest.“Then… someone is trying to threaten you,” I said, the words tasting bitter on my tongue.“Yes.” His jaw tightened. “And they’re using you to do it.”My stomach twisted. “Do you know who sent it?”He shook his head again.Then I saw it in his eyes. That cold and dangerous look.Who ever sent this message that crossed a fine line using his father to get his attention.“What are you going to do now?” I asked, a part of me, not hoping to hear the answer.“Whoever sent this either works here or broke into the cas
THE LYCAN KING’S CLAIM CHAPTER SEVENTY FOUR
Elara’s POV“Let's go back to the council and announce it.” Aldric said standing up to his feet and extending a hand to me.I hesitated, then took it, as he pulled me up with ease.We walked through the halls of the kingdom in silence, staffs bowing heads at Aldric who barely even seemed to notice.We reached the doors and I cold hear their loud protests even from outside.The moment Aldric pushed the door open and entered, it fell dead silent.So silent that you could even hear a pin drop…Aldric took slow steps to the center of the room, his eyes scanning each person.I followed timidly behind him.“Due to certain circumstances,” he started, his tone measured and his posture firm. “Elara… , will not be crowned Alpha Queen at this time.”For a heartbeat, the world seemed to hold its breath.Then the applause began.It wasn’t loud. That would have been easier. It wasn’t cruel, either.The applauses would have hurt more of i really wanted to be the Alpha Queen now..But atleast, they w
