THE LYCAN'S SACRIFICE, Fated To The Beast. Chapter 130
Kael's PovWe returned to the capital two weeks before the Old Guard was expected to arrive and I threw myself into preparations with everything I had. There was no time for anything except work and planning and I welcomed the focus because it did not leave room for fear.The first thing I did was meet with my generals. All seven of them together in the war room with maps spread across every table and markers showing the positions of enemy forces our spies had confirmed."They will come from the north and northeast simultaneously" I told them. I was repeating what the captured soldier Reed had told me and what subsequent intelligence had confirmed. "Their goal is to split our defensive forces so we cannot concentrate against either column.""So we do not split" General Davan said. He was the oldest of my commanders and had fought in three wars before I was born. "We pick the larger threat and concentrate against it and contain the sm

Elvanya's PovThe shift happened gradually and then all at once. By the second week of the tour I started noticing it in the reports Lira brought me each morning. Nobles who had been sitting on the fence for months were finally declaring their support for Kael and the names were getting more significant with each passing day."Lord Beaumont committed this morning" Lira told me over breakfast at our temporary quarters in a town called Westergate. "He is pledging four hundred warriors and control of the eastern road.""That is the road I wrote to him about" I said. "The one that cuts off the Old Guard's fastest route to the capital.""Whatever you said in that letter it worked" Lira said. "He signed the pledge and sent it by fast rider.""Who else" I asked."Lady Cordell from the river territories" Lira said. "She was the one who said she could not risk her people. She changed her mind after hearing about what hap

Kael's PovThe next morning I told Elvanya we were going home. I sat down with her at the table in the damaged inn while the guards cleaned up and she was feeding Luna and I laid out my reasoning as clearly as I could."Twelve assassins found us on the road" I said. "Which means the Old Guard knows our route or can predict our movements. If they can do it once they can do it again.""I know" Elvanya said."Luna protected you last night" I said. "And I am grateful for that. But we cannot rely on a three month old baby as our primary security measure.""I agree we need better security measures" Elvanya said. "But I am not ready to go home yet.""Elvanya" I started."Listen to me" she said. She was using the tone that meant she had already thought this through and I was going to lose the argument. "Last night happened. And by tomorrow every person in this town and the next one and probably three towns af

Elvanya's PovWe were seven days into the tour and staying at an inn in a town called Ashford when it happened. The inn was the largest building in town and our guards were posted at every entrance and Lira had personally walked the perimeter twice before she let us settle for the night.I had just gotten Luna to sleep after a long and fussy evening. The new places were starting to overwhelm her and she had been harder to settle each night. I laid her in the small travel crib we brought with us and straightened up slowly trying not to make noise.Then I heard something outside the window that was not right. A sound that was too careful and too quiet for an ordinary night sound."Kael" I said. He was already awake. He had heard it too.He was on his feet in seconds. "Get Luna and stay close to me" he said.But before either of us could move the window exploded inward and two figures came through it wearing dark clothing and moving fast. Kael shifted into his Lycan form so quickly I bar

Kael's PovWe left the capital on a clear morning ten days after Elvanya had convinced me this was the right thing to do. Forty guards rode with us along with Lira and Eldric and Matilda who refused to stay behind when there was an infant involved. Elvanya had Luna wrapped against her chest in a cloth carrier so her hands were free."Ready" Elvanya asked me when we were all assembled in the courtyard."No" I said honestly. "But let us go anyway."The first town was Greenwall about half a day's ride from the capital. It was a mixed town with roughly equal numbers of humans and beasts and it had been one of the first places to implement the new equality laws without significant resistance.When we rode in the reception was warm. People lined the main street and some of them were waving and calling out greetings. Children pushed to the front of the crowd trying to get a better look. Someone had put up banners in the royal colors."This is encouraging" Lira said quietly beside me."Do not

Elvanya's PovI waited three days after Kael came back from Millhaven before bringing up the plan. He needed time to decompress and to work through the immediate military responses and I needed time to think through exactly how to present it in a way that addressed his concerns before he could voice them.On the fourth day I asked Lira to watch Luna during the evening meal and I sat down with Kael in the small dining room where we ate when it was just the two of us."I have a proposal" I said once we had both eaten enough that he was no longer preoccupied with hunger."What kind" he asked."A bold one" I said. "You are probably going to say no at first.""That is an encouraging beginning" Kael said dryly."We should do a tour" I said. "Visit towns and villages throughout the kingdom. Take Luna with us. Show people that we are real and that the peace is working and give them something to fight for befo
