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   65. Strategy

    Amara POV The halls feel different this time, and I cannot tell if it is because the place has changed or that my mate is here. The last time I walked through these corridors, everything felt controlled, watched, and carefully measured. Every step I took felt like it belonged to someone else. Every breath felt borrowed. Now, Sebastian walks beside me, and nothing feels distant anymore. Everything feels sharper, more real, like the world has snapped back into focus. The servants guide us through the long corridors in silence. Their footsteps are soft against the polished black floors, and none of them dare to meet our eyes for more than a passing second. Still, I can feel it. The attention. The curiosity. The tension that lingers beneath the surface of everything here. Sebastian does not speak. His hand remains wrapped around mine, firm and steady, as if he has no intention of letting go. Every so often, his thumb brushes against my knuckles, absent but grounding, like he

  • The Dark Forest: The Lycan King’s Fated Mate   64. Cassian

    Amara POV The room tightens all over again, but not in the same way it did before. Earlier, it was tension, sharp and immediate, the kind that warns of violence just waiting to spill over. This feels different. This feels wrong, like something unseen has slipped into place where it does not belong, something sharp and deliberate settling into the cracks of the moment. No one moves. No one breathes. Even Leviath, who never seems caught off guard, does not speak right away, and that alone tells me everything I need to know. This man.. he was not expected. The man’s gaze drifts lazily across the room, unhurried and entirely too comfortable for someone who just disrupted a room full of predators. His attention passes over the vampires, over the guards lining the walls, over Sebastian and the others, before finally landing on Sybil. And everything about him changes. Not softer. Not warmer. Just focused in a way that feels far more dangerous than anything else. “There you ar

  • The Dark Forest: The Lycan King’s Fated Mate   63. A test of what?

    Amara POV The room does not settle after that. Even with Sebastian’s hand still wrapped around mine, even with the bond steady and warm where it had been strained just moments ago, the tension only shifts into something sharper. He chose me. I felt it, heard it, saw it. But that does not change where we are or who we are standing in front of. Leviath watches us like we are something newly interesting, like a game just took a turn he did not expect. “Well,” he says after a moment, his voice smooth and almost amused, “that went differently than I anticipated.” Sebastian does not respond right away, and he does not even look at him. His attention lingers on me for just a second longer, like he is making sure I am still there, still steady, still with him. Then his gaze shifts, and just like that, the warmth disappears, replaced by something colder and far more dangerous. “Get to the point,” Sebastian says. Leviath leans back slightly in his throne, completely at ease even

  • The Dark Forest: The Lycan King’s Fated Mate   62. I don’t care

    Amara POV “A.. hybr- wha- what?” Sebastian’s voice isn’t loud. It isn’t angry. It just.. breaks. Not in a way I’ve ever heard before. Like something inside him caught on a sharp edge and didn’t come out clean. The room stills. Not gradually. All at once. Even the fire seems to quiet, like the flames themselves are listening. I feel it through the bond before I even dare to look at him. Confusion. Sharp. Jarring. Like the ground beneath him shifted without warning. Like everything he thought he understood just tilted sideways. I don’t look at him. Not yet. I can’t. Because if I see it.. if I see anything close to disgust or hesitation.. I don’t think I’ll recover from it. Not in front of Leviath. Not in front of all these watching eyes. “..A hybrid,” my father says again, louder this time. Slower. “Hybrid..” Sebastian repeats again, like he’s testing the word. Trying to decide if it belongs in this world. If I belong in it. The word settles into the room like smoke.

  • The Dark Forest: The Lycan King’s Fated Mate   61. She’s leaving.. with me

    Sebastian POV The barrier doesn’t just break. It collapses. The cracks splinter all at once, the silver light bursting outward in a violent wave that tears through the forest like a shockwave. The humming stops instantly. Dead. Gone. Like it was never there. For half a second.. Silence. Then the force of it hits us. Wind slams into my chest, ripping through my coat, sending leaves and dirt spiraling into the air. The magic disperses in a rush that makes the world feel.. lighter. Open. Free. I don’t wait. I step through. No resistance. No pain. Just empty air where a prison used to stand. “Sebastian-” Sybil starts. Too late. Amara moves at the same time I do. The moment she crosses that invisible line.. The bond snaps tight. Not painful. Not gentle either. It hits like a pull straight through my chest, something ancient and absolute

  • The Dark Forest: The Lycan King’s Fated Mate   60. Couldn’t be that easy, could it?

    Sebastian POV The barrier hums. It isn’t loud exactly. Not like thunder or crashing waves. But the sound lives in the air around us. A deep vibration that presses against my bones like the forest itself is holding its breath. The three artifacts react the moment we step close. The crown fragment strapped at my belt trembles faintly. The petrified heart Sybil carries pulses like a slow heartbeat in her palm. And the old dagger hangs heavy in my hand, the dark metal humming with that same violent magic we felt the first night we found it. The barrier stretches through the forest like a wall of warped glass. You can see through it. Sort of. Shapes blur and twist behind the shimmering surface. Trees bending slightly wrong. Shadows shifting like the forest on the other side breathes differently. And standing just a few feet beyond it— Amara. My chest tightens the moment my eyes land on her. She stands straight despite the exhaustion lining her face. Her dark hair

    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

    Sebastian’s POV We stopped at the mouth of the forest. Not inside it. Not yet. The hair on the nape of my neck stood as I took in the sight before us. The last sliver of open sky stood behind us.. Ahead, the Dark Forest waited in patient silence, the shadows layered so thick they felt lik

    Sebastian’s POV 2 hours before entering portal Braden stood in front of me, posture perfect, expression polished into that smooth, unreadable calm he wore like a second skin. I’d seen men try and fail to read him. They left the encounters feeling as if they’d shaken hands with a smile that ha

    Sebastian POV The room stilled. Not with the quiet of peace. But the quiet before teeth sink into a throat. I’m going to get her back. I won’t lose Amara like I lost Loralai. She was right there.. and then she was gone. Sybil’s eyes glowed like stormglass as she traced the last trembling
