The heavy doors opened with a lazy groan, the sound echoing through the hall.

Alpha Richard Ashford of the Crescent Moon Pack sat waiting with one of his elders, frustrations clearly on their faces, but it disappeared immediately. Both rose when I entered, fake smiles plastered on their faces. but I waved them back down with barely concealed irritation.

"My apologies for keeping you waiting," I said, the words dripping with sarcasm I didn't bother to hide. "T

  • The Lycan King's Captive   Chapter 41: before the storm

    CHAPTER 41: Before the StormKieran's POVThe dungeons beneath the castle were cold, damp, and utterly without mercy. Exactly as they were meant to be. I descended the stone steps slowly, each footfall echoing off walls that had witnessed centuries of suffering.Marcus had wanted to accompany me, but I had ordered him to oversee preparations in the courtyard instead. What I needed to say to Elena required no witnesses."She still has not spoken since we brought her down," one of the guards had reported earlier. "Has not eaten. Barely drank the water we gave her."Good, I had thought then, let her feel the weight of what is coming. but now, descending deeper into the earth, I was not so sure. The bond pulsed with a mix of her emotions and mine, tangled together until I could barely tell them apart. Fear. Resignation. Dread. And underneath it all, a profound sadness that felt like drowning.I reached the lowest level where the most secure cells were kept. Two guards stood at attention

    Chapter 40: the pleasElena povI sank back onto my throne, suddenly exhausted.Marcus appeared at my side. "That was masterful. You satisfied the court while preserving her life. You…""Do not congratulate me on finding the least terrible option in a room full of nightmares," I said bitterly. "Twenty lashes, Marcus. Twenty lashes from a silver-tipped whip on an omega who is my mate. And I have to stand there and watch while the bond screams at me to stop.""You did what you had to do.""Did I? Or did I just prolong her suffering because I am too much of a coward to either execute her cleanly or claim her publicly?"Marcus was quiet for a moment. "You are giving her a chance to prove her worth. To demonstrate that she has value beyond her deception. That is more mercy than most would have shown."Before I could say anything more, the throne room doors burst open with enough force to make the guards jump. I was on my feet instantly, hand moving toward my weapon, but I stopped when I sa

  • The Lycan King's Captive   Chapter 39: the judgement 2

    Kirean povThe court was fracturing before my eyes. It was so obvious that majority didnt support the idea of leaving her alive. They continued to demand blood to satisfy their wounded pride. Their bloodlust increased as king darius and the elders continued to fight against my decisions, raisong one concern against the other.I looked at Marcus, who stood rigid near the side entrance, his hand resting on his sword hilt. He tilted his head, triying to establish a connection.“Do we need to clear the room by force?” his voice echoed in my head. He had mindlinked with me.Thats the huge different between lycans and ordinary wolves. Lycan can mindlink with anyone from their paak at will, but the alohaz can only do that with their mate.“Not yet. But possibly soon.” I replied back.“Your Majesty, the situation is deteriorating rapidly. You need to regain control."He was right. The court was fracturing before my eyes, splitting into camps based on those that supported elenas execution or n

    CHAPTER 38: The judgmentKieran's POVThe moment Darius walked through those doors uninvited, every instinct in me screamed danger. Not the physical kind… I could handle that easily. This was different. This was the kind of danger that came in the pretense of a fake smile and hidden political games, the kind that could unravel kingdoms if I was not careful.My hands gripped the armrests of my throne hard enough that the wood groaned under the pressure. I forced myself to release them slowly, to maintain my appearance in front of my people even though I was nowhere calm.Marcus moved immediately, intercepting Darius before he could get far into the throne room. "King Darius, this is a closed proceeding. I must ask you to…"Darius walked past him as if he were invisible. Did not even glance in his direction. Just kept moving forward with that insufferable smile, his guards fanning out behind him in a clear show of power. In my throne room, in my own kingdom.The disrespect was intention

    CHAPTER 37: The Throne Room JudgmentElena's POVMorning finally came, the soft glow of sunlight broke through the narrow window of my cell like a cruel joke after years of absence. It was just a few hours but to me, it felt like eternity, as I had cried throughout the night. making me not sleep a wink. How could I, when every shadow felt like a noose tightening around my neck?When I had that instinct that someone or something was watching me, but no matter how hard I tried to look, I didn't see any person.“Maybe it was just in my head” I had told myself throughout the night, trying to be strong, but none worked on me.Not when my worst fear had finally happened. And there's nobody that will save me from my fate.Heavy footsteps echoed down the corridor. My body tensed instinctively. As the sound of bars echoing filled the silence."Get up, omega filth." The guard's voice was thick with mockery as he rattled the bars. "Time to face your judgment. Though I suppose we all know how t

    Chapter 37: finding out the truthKierean pov"Your Majesty…""I said get out!" The words exploded from me with enough force that both men flinched. "Take your money and your negotiations and get out of my sight. Elena stays here. She's under my protection, and if you or anyone from your pack ever tries to take her again, I'll consider it an act of war. Do you understand?"Richard stood slowly, his expression a mixture of confusion and calculation. "You would protect an omega slave? Why?"*Because she's mine,* my wolf snarled.But I didn't say that. Couldn't admit it. Not when I'd just thrown her in the dungeons. Not when she is a traitor and a coward."Because I'm the king," I said instead. "And here's what's going to happen," I said with deadly calm. "You're going to leave my palace. You're going to return to your territory. And you're going to forget Elena exists. Because she doesn't belong to you anymore. She never will again.""Your Majesty, please be reasonable…" Richard tried.
