The Lycan King's Captive Chapter 23: Run!
Chapter 23: Run!!Elena pov"How do you know about…" the word blurted out of my mouth before I could stop it."I know many things the court pretends not to see." She ground the mixture harder, the sound sharp in the quiet room. "The question is, what will you do with this information?"I looked down at my hands, still trembling, still stained with my own blood. My parents' faces swam in my memory. My mother's hard eyes as she handed me the first batch of suppressants."They knew," I whispered, the realization crystallizing like ice in my chest. "My parents knew this would kill me."They'd sent me here to die. Slowly, painfully, but inevitably. All to hide whatever I really was. All to protect some secret that mattered more than my life.The betrayal cut deeper than any physical pain.Maya knelt beside my chair, taking my hand. "Elena...""I won't take them anymore," I said, my voice stronger than I felt. "I won't die for their secrets."Grandmother Iris nodded approvingly. She poured
The Lycan King's Captive Chapter 22: the suppressant crisis
Chapter 22: The Suppressant CrisisElena's POVI woke up drowning.That's what it felt like… my lungs filled with something thick and wet, refusing to let air pass. I tried to breathe, tried to call out, but all that came was a violent cough that tore through my chest like claws.Blood splattered across my white sheets.For a moment, I could only stare at it. Dark red against pristine white, spreading like some terrible flower blooming in the pre-dawn light. My hand trembled as I touched my lips, fingers coming away wet and crimson.Another cough seized me, I doubled over quickly. And to my utmost dismay, blood came out.“No. No, no, no.”I tried to stand, to get to the water basin, to do something, anything. My vision spun, my legs giving out at the dime minute. The floor rushed up to meet me, cold stones striking my knees, my palms. The impact barely registered through the fire consuming my chest.I couldn't breathe. I couldn't think. All I knew was pain and the metallic taste flood
The Lycan King's Captive Chapter 21: Angering the tigress
Chapter 21: angering the tigressCatherine's POVThe hall had never looked more perfect.I stood in the center of the room, surveying my work with what should have been satisfaction. Crystal chandeliers cast warm light across tables draped in ivory silk. Silver candelabras gleamed at precise intervals. Roses—white and blush pink, his favorites—spilled from porcelain vases in artful arrangements. Even the cake was a masterpiece: four tiers of vanilla and honey, decorated with delicate sugar flowers that had taken the palace confectioner three days to craft.Everything was exactly as I had planned. Exactly as it should be for a king's return.So why did I feel like screaming?Why did I feel like the bright walls were suddenly turning darker, as time passes?"Oh, Lady Catherine, it's absolutely magnificent!" Lydia, one of my maids, clasped her hands together dramatically. "The King will be so pleased when he sees what you've prepared for him.""Indeed, my lady," another chimed in, a girl
The Lycan King's Captive Chapter 20: emergency message
Chapter 20: emergency messageElena povKieran stood in the doorway.He was still dressed for travel, his dark cloak dust-covered, his boots mud-splattered. He looked exhausted, deep shadows under his eyes, his jaw tight with tension. But those silver eyes were sharp as ever, fixed on me with an intensity that made my breath catch."Your Majesty." I scrambled to my feet, suddenly very aware that I was wearing only a nightgown and shawl, my hair loose and wild around my shoulders. "I... I did not know you had returned. I thought...""I was not supposed to return until next week." He stepped into the library, closing the door behind him with a soft click that rebounded deep in my soul. "Plans changed."He moved closer, and I fought the urge to back away. Not from fear, though perhaps I should be afraid, but from something else.His eyes dropped to the book on the floor between us. He bent to retrieve it, his movements fluid despite his obvious exhaustion. When he straightened, he studie
The Lycan King's Captive Chapter 19: night discovery
Elena povSleep refused to come.I lay in my bed for hours, staring at the ceiling as moonlight crept across the stone walls. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Catherine's predatory smile, heard the court ladies' fake voices, felt the tremors in my weakened hands.The suppressants were doing something to me. I knew it now with certainty that settled like lead in my stomach. But what choice did I have? Stop taking them and let my omega nature emerge? Let everyone discover what I truly was?That would be a death sentence faster than any lie Catherine could expose.Or what if it was really the suppressant?...Then what?Around midnight, I gave up on sleep entirely. I forced myself out of bed, wrapping a simple shawl around my shoulders over my nightgown. The fortress would be quiet now, most of its inhabitants long asleep. Maybe a walk would clear my head, tire my restless body enough to finally rest.I slipped out of my chambers, my bare feet silent on the cold stone floors. The corrid
The Lycan King's Captive Chapter 18: secret messenger
Elena pov"Yes," Morgana continued, her eyes gleaming. "I remember it clearly because she made quite an impression. Those cold blue eyes of hers… like chips of ice. And her voice! Deep and commanding, like winter itself. She gave a speech about combat tactics that had everyone enthralled."The room went silent. Every woman was now staring at me.My eyes were blue, yes… thanks to the drops I had been using. But my voice had never been deep or commanding. It was soft, almost gentle. Nothing like the woman Morgana was describing."I..." My mouth went dry. "I do not remember that gathering very well. I was... recovering from an injury at the time. Perhaps the pain medication affected my memory."It was a weak excuse, but then that was all I got.Catherine smiled, She reached for one of the wine bottles and poured a generous amount into a crystal glass."Here," she said, sliding it toward me. "You look pale, dear. Have some wine. It will help you relax."I stared at the glass like it was p
