Chapter 62: no time

The morning sun filtered through the windows of Kieran's chambers as I carefully brushed Shadow's coat. He lay contentedly at my feet, occasionally making soft sounds of pleasure as I worked through a particularly tangled section of the animal's fur.

He only does this with you," Kieran said finally, gesturing to Shadow who had sprawled across both our laps. "Even now, after weeks of me being his sole companion again, the moment you walk in, he chooses you."

    Rogue povThe intimidating cold stone walls of the dungeon cell pressed in from all sides. I have been here for hours or days?… Time lost meaning in the dark, measured only by the guards' footsteps echoing down the corridor and the irregular meals that was as mm⁶ shoved through the bars.But I did not break. Would not break.Come rain or shine, I told myself, repeating the words like a prayer, even during the torture sessions by the beta. And luckily he never broke me…. At least for now. my master will save me. He had promised protection to those who served loyally. He had promised that our cause was greater than any one wolf, that our mission would reshape the whole kingdom itself.We believed.Because if we didn't, then what had any of this been for? The attack on the engagement ceremony, the careful planning, the explicit orders to avoid harming that omega girl ... .Elena, they called her, though we had known her by another name. All of it would mean nothing if I broke, if I spoke

"Even now, after weeks of me being his sole companion again, the moment you walk in, he chooses you."I froze mid-stroke. Looking up to see Kieran near the door. I had not heard him come in until he spoke. He crossed the room in wide steps. His voice was careful, measured, but I could hear the edge beneath it."Animals are simpler than people," I offered quietly, trying to hide my trembling voice. "They do not hold grudges.""No," Kieran agreed. "They just know who they can trust."The implication hung in the air between us."Did you ever plan to tell me?" Kirean broke the silence."Your Majesty, I…""

  • The Lycan King's Captive   Chapter 61: words left unspoken

    Chapter 61: words left unspokenElena povI pushed the door open slowly, peering into the darkened room. Moonlight streamed through the windows, casting long shadows across the floor."Shadow?" I called softly.A louder whine answered me, coming from near the bed.Over the next few days, the castle transformed into something resembling a military compound. Guards patrolled every corridor. Windows were reinforced. Entrance protocols were strengthened. Kieran spent hours in war councils, trying to determine who had orchestrated the attacks and why.I stepped inside fully, my eyes adjusting to the dim light. And there, tangled in bedsheets that had somehow fallen to the floor, was Shadow.Except he was not a small pup anymore. He had grown considerably, his body now the size of a young adult wolf. He must have gotten tangled in the sheets and panicked, wrapping himself tighter in his struggle to break free.His golden eyes found mine and he whined again, a sound of pure distress."Oh, Sh

  • The Lycan King's Captive   Chapter 60: Shadow

    Chapter 60: shadowElena POVThe days following the rogue attack blurred together in a haze of exhaustion and despair. The engagement ceremony had been postponed, but everyone knew it was only a matter of time before it was rescheduled. The interruption was just that, an interruption, not a cancellation.I should have felt relief at the delay. Instead, I just felt numb.The servants' gossip continued unabated. If anything, the attack had given them new material."Did you see how Lady Catherine fled?" Bertha said loudly in the kitchens, making sure I could hear. "Not very queenly behavior, was it?""Well, rogues are terrifying," another maid defended. "I would have run too.""Not our Elena, though," Bertha continued with false sweetness. "She actually fought one off with a candelabra. Quite brave for such a pathetic little thing."The backhanded compliment stung worse than an outright insult.My days became an endless cycle of work and pain. Catherine seemed more determined than ever t

    Chapter 59: what have i doneKieran POVI stood in the corridor outside my chambers, staring at the closed door. My shoulder throbbed where a rogue's claws had caught me, but I barely felt it. All I could think about was the look on Elena's face right before those windows shattered.The pain. The devastation. The complete and utter defeat.I had done that to her.I pushed open the door to my chambers, already exhausted despite the adrenaline still coursing through my system. The rogue attack had been perfectly timed, almost too perfectly. But my mind could not focus on tactical concerns right now.All I could see was Elena's face."There you are."I turned to find Catherine in my chambers, still wearing that white gown though it was no longer pristine. Her hair had come partly undone and her carefully applied makeup was smudged."How did you get past the guards?" I asked."I told them we needed to discuss security measures." She moved closer, her voice dropping. "That was quite the in

    Chapter 58: the rogues attackElena POVThe great hall had been transformed into something that could only be seen in dreams. White roses covered every surface, their sweet scent almost overwhelming. Crystal chandeliers cast dancing light across silk ribbons and golden candelabras. Every noble family in the region filled the space in their finest attire, their voices a low murmur of excitement and speculation.I stood along the wall with the other serving staff, a silver tray of champagne glasses balanced in my trembling hands. From this position, I had a perfect, unobstructed view of the raised platform where this ceremony would take place.Where I would watch my heart break completely. Catherine made sure of that.Kieran stood on the platform already, looking every inch the powerful lycan king. He wore formal black attire with silver embroidery that caught the light. His dark hair was pulled back, revealing the sharp angles of his face. His expression was unreadable, that familiar m
