    The strange guard gave them what he could, or claimed he could, before Elmund's men bound him securely and dragged him back toward the palace for further questioning. He named the general direction of Vaelthorn, described a mountain pass that marked its border, and warned, with that same infuriating smile, that they would find the journey far harder than the telling of it.Back within the palace walls, Nolan wasted no time assembling his forces. He called together his most seasoned warriors, men who had fought beside him through the darkest days of his reign, choosing each one carefully with an eye toward both skill and unshakable loyalty."We leave within the hour," he announced, moving through the war room with brisk, purposeful strides, maps already spread across the table before him. "Pack light. We travel fast.""I'm coming with you," Gianna said, standing at the edge of the room, her arms crossed, her expression daring him to argue.Nolan looked up, and though concern flickered

    "Vaelthorn," the strange guard said finally, his voice still carrying that unsettling, layered quality. "Though I doubt the name means anything to either of you. It matters little, since you will never reach it in time regardless.""Then why tell us at all?" Gianna demanded, watching him closely, searching for any hint of deception or hidden purpose behind his willingness to share even that much."Because my master enjoys a challenge," the man said, his lips curling into that same unnatural smile. "He would find it disappointing if you simply gave up the chase entirely. Where would the satisfaction be in that, when he finally completes what he's sought for three hundred years?"Nolan's grip on his sword tightened further, his patience wearing dangerously thin. "You keep speaking as though this man of yours is some kind of god," he said. "Explain what exactly he wants with my daughter. Real answers, not riddles."The guard tilted his head slightly, studying them both as though weighing

    The palace erupted into chaos within minutes, servants and guards alike rushing through every corridor, checking every room, every closet, every space large enough to hide even the smallest infant. Nolan moved through the frenzy like a man possessed, his fury barely contained beneath a thin veneer of composure, his hands clenching and unclenching at his sides as though he might tear the walls down with his bare hands if it meant finding his daughter one moment sooner."Check the towers," he barked at a passing guard. "Check the cellars, the stables, every wagon leaving through the gates. No one leaves this palace without being searched thoroughly, do you understand me?"The guard nodded frantically and rushed off to relay the order, and Nolan turned to find Gianna standing near the empty crib, her posture rigid, her eyes dry despite the devastation clearly written across every line of her face."You should be crying," he said, moving toward her, uncertain what else to say in the face

    The truth came out fully the next morning, once the chaos of the previous night had settled enough for proper conversation. Fenna arrived at Nolan's summons, examining the window where the guard's body had been found, her expression growing more troubled with every passing minute.Gianna sat nearby, arms crossed, her earlier fury from learning the full extent of what Nolan had kept from her still simmering just beneath the surface."You should have told me the moment that king made his comment," she said, not for the first time that morning. "I had a right to know my daughter was being targeted, Nolan. Instead I found out because a man died outside her window.""I know," Nolan said, his voice heavy with genuine regret. "I made the wrong choice. I was trying to protect you from unnecessary fear, and instead I put you both in a position where you didn't have the information you needed to protect yourself properly. I won't make that mistake again."Gianna held his gaze for a long moment,

    Nolan couldn't shake the visiting king's words from his mind. They followed him through the rest of that evening, through dinner, through the quiet hours after Gianna had finally fallen asleep beside him, Luna's soft breathing carrying through the small distance between their bed and her crib. Children like her don't usually get to grow old in my kingdom. The sentence looped over and over in his thoughts, each repetition sharpening the unease that had settled deep in his chest the moment the words left the stranger's mouth.He rose before dawn, unable to sleep any longer, and made his way to his study while the palace still lay quiet around him. He sat at his desk for a long while, staring at nothing in particular, before finally calling for Elmund.His old friend arrived within minutes, still adjusting his sleeves, clearly roused from bed but showing no sign of complaint at the early summons."You couldn't sleep either," Elmund said, more observation than question, settling into the

  • The Alpha's Wife, The Lycan King's Obsession    Chapter 248 - The Messenger

    A messenger arrived at the palace on a quiet Tuesday morning, dust still clinging to his boots from a long journey. He said he had traveled from a kingdom far to the east, one Gianna had never even heard of before, and he carried a request from his king."My king wishes to meet with King Nolan and his Luna," the messenger said, bowing low before Nolan's throne. "He has heard much about the changes happening here. He wishes to discuss trade between our two kingdoms."Nolan studied the man carefully before answering. "Trade," he repeated. "Why would a kingdom so far from here suddenly take interest in trading with us now?""My king has always kept a close eye on the world beyond his borders," the messenger said smoothly. "He simply felt now was the right time to reach out."Elmund stood near the wall, arms crossed, watching the exchange with narrowed eyes. Something about the messenger's tone didn't sit right with him. He said nothing yet, but Nolan caught the tension in his old friend'

    Gianna turned around slowly.Nolan was still standing by the window, his expression unreadable in the firelight."You found him," she said."I did.""Who was it?""A council member named Broderick. He holds a seat in the lower chamber and oversees trade regulations for the outer markets."Gianna fr
