A new day had arrived, and the trial loomed only days away. Livia still hasn’t recovered her strength. The exhaustion in her bones was not only physical; it had seeped into the marrow of her being. She did not fear the trial itself so much as the sentences that might follow — the punishments that would be visited on her and on Lilly. The uncertainty of it was a slow, gnawing thing.

Since the night before her thoughts had been heavy and restless. Every quiet hour brought the same unwelcome replay: the cold voice that haunted her mind, a whisper that sounded more like accusation than counsel. It had no name, only an emotion — raw, burning hate aimed at her.

Her thoughts always returned to her sister, to the possibility that someone close was involved, though the evidence to support that suspicion was thin. Still, the knot in her gut tightened whenever she tried to force it away.

“Luna?”

The soft voice drew her from the dark corridors of worry. At the doorway stood Sally — young, respec

  • The Embrace Of The Lycan King    Chapter 39: The Final Plan

    The heavy silence inside the Moonlight Pack’s council chamber was broken only by the sharp, rhythmic tapping of Amber’s nails against the polished table. Her jaw clenched, and her lips pressed into a thin line as she stared at the sealed letter in Aldrake’s hand — the official notice from the Elder Council.“The second day of the trial…” Aldrake’s voice was low, controlled, but the flicker of irritation in his eyes betrayed him. “…has been postponed.”Amber shot up from her seat, the chair scraping violently against the marble floor. “Postponed?!” she hissed. “For what reason?!”“Livia’s health,” Aldrake replied, tossing the parchment onto the table as if the very words disgusted him. “They claim she’s too weak to attend the trial today. They’ve moved it to tomorrow.”Amber began pacing back and forth, her fury barely contained. “How convenient,” she spat. “Too weak to stand trial but strong enough to play the victim. They’re buying her time — and for what? To twist the story? To gain

  • The Embrace Of The Lycan King    Chapter 38: The request of a King

    The soft warmth of sunlight streamed gently through the clinic’s sheer curtains, casting pale gold patterns across the bed sheets. The faint scent of herbs and healing ointments lingered in the air, mingling with the sterile chill that always clung to rooms where life and death had once wrestled.Livia’s eyelashes fluttered.A dull ache pulsed behind her temples, and her body felt like it was made of lead — heavy, exhausted, and weak. For a moment, she lay still, listening to the faint rustle of leaves outside, the distant calls of pack members beginning their day, and the steady thump of her own heartbeat.Then, with a slow, shaky breath, she forced her eyes open.The world swam into view — the familiar ceiling of the Blood Moon Pack’s healing wing, the faint hum of magic that still lingered in the air, the lingering traces of someone’s presence beside her bed. Confusion furrowed her brow.Where am I? What happened?She shifted slightly, and a sharp pain shot through her chest, makin

  • The Embrace Of The Lycan King    Chapter 37: After the Storm

    Darkness.That was all Livia knew.She drifted weightlessly through it, floating in a space where time had no meaning and the pain of her body felt distant — as if it belonged to someone else. There was no trial here, no judgmental eyes, no lies being thrown at her like daggers. There was only silence.And yet, in that silence, memories began to stir.They came like whispers — faint at first, then clearer — moments from a life that now felt like someone else’s. A warm hand holding hers beneath the stars. The first time Aldrake smiled at her. The promises they made beneath the silver moon, vowing loyalty and love. And then… the pain. The betrayal. The coldness in his eyes when he looked at her as though she were a burden, not a bond.“Why…?” she whispered into the void. “Why was I never enough?”No one answered. The darkness remained still.Then, she saw another memory. A small girl, younger and gentler, running through the fields with laughter in her voice — Amber. And beside her, a s

  • The Embrace Of The Lycan King    Chapter 36: Blood for the Luna

    The air reeked of iron and wet earth as Beta Juls and Gamma Roderick tore into the swarm of rogues, their wolves moving like shadows, all muscle and fury. Claws raked, fangs snapped, and the night pulsed with the sound of snarls and dy*ng screams. Still, the rogues kept coming, endless and wild, as if summoned by some unseen hand.Florita stood at the heart of the chaos, her barrier shimmering faintly, pulsing each time a rogue struck against it. Sweat streamed down her face, her lips whispering a chant in an ancient tongue. A faint silver light flickered at her fingertips, but it was dim—far too dim.“We don’t have long,” she gasped. “If I lose focus, they’ll break through!”Juls lunged at a rogue, his silver-gray wolf slamming into its side and crushing its ribs with a snap of jaws. Blood stained his muzzle as he lifted his head, growling. “Then hold, Florita! We’ll clear you a path.”Roderick’s massive brown wolf was already a storm of violence, tearing through three rogues at once

  • The Embrace Of The Lycan King    Chapter 35: The Luna's Pain

    Livia tried to straighten her spine, her body trembling violently as though the very weight of the world was crushing her shoulders. She wanted to stand tall—if only to show them that she would not bow to lies—but her strength was abandoning her. Another cough tore through her chest, and fresh blood spilled down her lips, staining the marble floor beneath her again.Gasps echoed throughout the grand hall again, as they witnessed how Livia suffered from the punishment they cannot see. “Luna!” Madame Julie exclaimed, reaching for her, but Livia lifted a weak hand to stop her. “I… I can still—” Her words broke as another wave of agony twisted through her chest, forcing her to her knees. She clutched at her heart as though it would shatter into pieces in her palm.The five Elders leaned forward, whispering among themselves. Elder Caelum finally spoke, his voice heavy: “So be it. The trial will continue tonight. Let the lies be stripped, and the—”“No.”The single word thundered like a s

  • The Embrace Of The Lycan King    Chapter 34: The Voice That Cannot Be Silenced

    “Let me be heard.” Madame Julie’s voice rang out, steady and commanding despite her age. It carried across the chamber like a crack of thunder, silencing the last murmurs that lingered after the false witness’s words.All eyes turned toward her. Even those who moments ago had been spitting venom at Livia now froze, their faces palled at the sight of the woman standing tall with Ria and Felly beside her.Madame Julie did not look at the crowd. Instead, she lifted her chin and turned her gaze toward the throne. Her eyes met the Lycan King’s golden ones across the hall. For a long heartbeat, the chamber seemed to hold its breath.He didn’t move, didn’t speak. But the faintest incline of his head gave her permission. Only then did she shift her gaze to the Elder Council, her expression calm but unyielding.“You will grant me this chance to speak,” she said, not as a plea, but as a command rooted in her history, her strength.The Elders exchanged glances, their solemn faces betraying no e
