Chapter 59

Elara’s POV

I stood in the middle of my living room, taking in that very familiar and very grounding scent maybe one last time.

My parents hovered near me… both of them afraid to speak.

My mother reached out first, her fingers trembling as they brushed a lock of hair away from my face.

Her touch was gentle, almost reverent, as if she was memorizing every feature before she lost me again.

“Oh, Elara,” she whispered, her voice cracking. “You barely came home, and now… now you’re leaving again?”

My throat tightened. I swallowed, forcing myself to stay steady.

“I have to,” I said softly. “It’s not just about the pack anymore. It’s… it’s much bigger.”

My father stood behind her, his posture firm.

He had always been the strong one, the silent protector, the man who held everything together even when it all fell apart, but even he couldn't hide the tears.

Seeing him like this almost broke me more than anything else.

“Is it truly necessary?” my mother asked, her voice bare

  • THE LYCAN KING’S CLAIM   CHAPTER SEVENTY SEVEN

    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.

    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

    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

  • THE LYCAN KING’S CLAIM   CHAPTER SEVENTY THREE

    Elara’s POVFor a moment, I couldn’t breathe.The world narrowed until there was only Aldric in front of me… kneeling on the council floor, his eyes fixed on me.Will you be my Alpha Queen?The words echoed in my mind.My heart pounded so loudly I was certain everyone could hear it.My mouth opened, but nothing came out.This wasn’t how I imagined anything.There was no time to prepare myself for the weight of what he was asking.One moment I had been invited as an honorary guest, still trying to convince myself I belonged in this room at all… and the next, I was standing at the center of it, the future of a kingdom being placed at my feet.Every pair of eyes locked onto me.My skin prickled under their scrutiny.Under theirs, I felt naked.It was like I was stripped down to everything I wasn’t.Before I could even begin to form a response, the room exploded.“No!”The shout came from one of the elders on the left side of the chamber.He stood abruptly, anger blazing in his eyes.“Thi

    Jude POVI barely remembered the drive back to my pack.In my mind, it felt like a complete blur… Every turn of the road I took, felt automatic, like it was muscle memory doing the work while my mind stayed somewhere else.With her.Elara.The shock in her face and then the pullback from the kiss.Even the disappointment on her face.Dumb.That was the word pounding in my skull.I pulled into the compound and shut off the engine.I slammed the door shut and stalked toward my quarters, nodding absently at a few guards along the way.Normally, maybe I’d stop. Ask about patrols. Check on things.Tonight, I didn’t care.I ran a hand down my face as I reached my room and pushed the door open.The thick and heavy silence welcomed me in.I closed it behind me and leaned against the wood, letting out a slow exhale.My chest felt tight, like something heavy was lodged there and refusing to move.Why did I do that?I crossed the room and dropped onto the edge of my bed, staring at the floor.B
