Amara POV

As I sat down at the table, I felt as if the life was being squeezed out of me by the gown. Corsets are out of style these days, but the gowns that are worn are tightly laced in the back, just like a corset would be. I will never understand why any woman would ever wear such a thing.

Sebastian walked in and joined me, sitting at the end of the table, and I was next to him around the corner.

It was silent for the longest time. Mainly because I couldn’t hold enough breath to speak. Th

  • The Dark Forest: The Lycan King’s Fated Mate   101. He ruler who did not end the world

    Amara POV Peace turns out to be far louder than war. Not in the ways I expected. War carries screaming and steel and blood soaking into stone. Peace carries life. Children laughing through castle corridors that once echoed with fear. Vampire merchants arguing playfully with wolf blacksmiths in crowded market squares. Fae musicians filling taverns with strange glowing instruments while witches pretend not to enjoy themselves in the corners. The kingdoms breathe differently now. Like something ancient unclenched its fist around the world. The borders vanished three months ago. Not physically. The mountains still stand. The rivers still cut through territories. But the walls between species are gone. Travelers move freely now beneath unified law. Wolves venture into vampire cities without expecting violence. Fae caravans cross Lycan territory openly beneath moonlit skies. Witches have begun establishing sanctuaries near mixed villages where every species walks t

  • The Dark Forest: The Lycan King’s Fated Mate   100. Then it’s decided

    Amara POV “By the gods. A Lycan?” The fae queen’s voice cuts through the chamber sharp as shattered crystal. Disbelief flashes openly across her face now, elegance cracking beneath the sheer force of whatever she feels crashing through her bond. Her violet eyes remain locked on Edgar as though looking away might somehow undo what just happened. Edgar still has not moved from the doorway. Honestly, I do not think he remembers what he even came in here for. Rainwater drips quietly from the edge of his black coat onto the stone beneath him while the entire council chamber watches the terrifying fae queen stare at one of Sebastian’s guards like the world just tilted sideways beneath her feet. Magic pulses again. Wild and ancient. The flowers woven into the fae queen’s silver hair bloom violently all at once, pale petals spiraling briefly into the air around her before dissolving into glowing dust. Edgar swallows hard. “Your Majesty,” he says carefully, sounding one

  • The Dark Forest: The Lycan King’s Fated Mate   99. Supreme ruler

    Amara POV The storm does not quiet for the rulers of kingdoms. It greets them like an omen. Thunder rolls across the mountains long before the first delegation arrives, dark clouds swallowing the sky until the castle itself feels stranded between worlds, suspended somewhere between ruin and rebirth. By nightfall every throne has answered Sebastian’s summons. The great council chamber blazes with torchlight and old tension, massive pillars carved from black stone stretching toward vaulted ceilings painted with the history of kingdoms that once tried very hard to destroy one another. Now all of them sit beneath the same roof. Watching me. Judging me. Fearing me. The fae queen arrives first. She enters like moonlight sharpened into a weapon, silver hair braided with living flowers that bloom and wilt in shifting colors as she walks. Ancient power hums around her so intensely the air itself bends faintly near the hem of her pale gold gown. Beautiful. Terrifying

  • The Dark Forest: The Lycan King’s Fated Mate   98. Unified throne

    Amara POV The throne room has never felt this cold before. Not because of winter. Not because of the storm clawing against the mountains outside. Because every person inside it can feel something shifting beneath the world. Sebastian stands beside the black stone throne with his arms crossed tightly over his chest, golden eyes fixed on Azriel like he expects the old man to transform into a monster at any second. Luther remains near the doors with one hand resting on the hilt of his sword, while Beta Jamie watches in sharp silence from the edge of the chamber. No one trusts him. Frankly, neither do I. Yet somehow Azriel looks entirely unbothered by the hostility curling through the room. He simply studies the vaulted ceiling above us as servants rush to prepare the chamber for the elder council. “This.. is the first king,” Sebastian says quietly to me, clearly unbelieving. “I know.” “You believe him?” The question lodges somewhere ugly inside my chest. Do I?

  • The Dark Forest: The Lycan King’s Fated Mate   97. That thing

    Amara POV The throne room has never felt this cold before. Not because of winter. Not because of the storm clawing against the mountains outside. Because every person inside it can feel something terrible shifting beneath the world. Sebastian stands beside the black stone throne with his arms crossed tightly over his chest, golden eyes fixed on Azriel like he expects the old man to transform into a monster at any second. Luther remains near the doors with one hand resting on the hilt of his sword, while Beta Jamie watches in sharp silence from the edge of the chamber. No one trusts him. Frankly, neither do I. Yet somehow Azriel looks entirely unbothered by the hostility curling through the room. He simply studies the vaulted ceiling above us as servants rush to prepare the chamber for the elder council. “This.. is the first king,” Sebastian says quietly to me, clearly unbelieving. “I know.” “You believe him?” The question lodges somewhere ugly inside my chest.

  • The Dark Forest: The Lycan King’s Fated Mate   96. Rubbish

    Amara POV Azriel. The name settles strangely in my mind, brushing against something old enough to ache. Not familiar exactly. Just heavy. Like a word buried beneath centuries of dust finally being spoken aloud again. The old man watches me from across the fire with quiet patience, silver brows lifting slightly when I remain standing near the doorway instead of answering immediately. Flames crackle softly inside the hearth beside him, painting warm gold across shelves overflowing with ancient books and loose parchment while the rest of the room drowns in shadows too thick for such a small space. “Well,” he says after a moment, voice threaded with amusement, “are you simply going to stand there looking confused, or will you join me for tea?” I glance back toward the corridor instinctively. No Sebastian. No guards. No footsteps echoing through the stairwell. Part of me expected him to follow anyway despite what happened in the yard. Another part feels strangely

  • The Dark Forest: The Lycan King’s Fated Mate   49. Useless bloodsucker

    Amara POV “You’ve got to be joking.” I shook my head as I leaned away from the edge. How in the gods did this happen? How did he manage to create a portal within the palace in the first place? Goddess, I’m so full of unanswered questions and it’s making me nothing but anxious. I screa

  • The Dark Forest: The Lycan King’s Fated Mate   48. Waves

    Amara POV There were lots of stairs, annoyingly enough. But once we got there, the chain was removed from the collar and I was let in. The doors close behind me, leaving me alone to.. I’m not even sure at this point. Sit and think? I need to get out of here. I don’t know what he’s planning..

  • The Dark Forest: The Lycan King’s Fated Mate   47. Hold steady, imp!

    Amara pov The tension in the room shifted as the focus turned to Braden and Lola standing like statues at the altar. Lola wore a hot pink gown, typical for her, while Braden’s attire was a mix of dark blue leather and fine silk, the insignia of Blackwood Pack embroidered over his heart.

  • The Dark Forest: The Lycan King’s Fated Mate   45. Stone Sirens

    Sebastian’s POV “Don’t listen to it. Whatever it is, it’s not real.” Sybil placed a hand on my shoulder. “You don’t get to have her voice,” I whispered to the trees as I closed my eyes. The branches shivered. A root snapped out of the soil and wrapped around Luther’s boot. He sw
