The Lycan King's Captive Chapter 69: office confrontation
Chapter 69: office confrotationKIERANThe glass exploded in my hand.I didn't realize I'd been squeezing it until shards bit into my palm, But the pain was small…a dull throb compared to the white-hot fury that was burning through my veins."Say that again," I said, my voice deadly quiet. "Slowly."Marcus stood at attention before my desk, his jaw tight, but I caught the flicker of something in his eyes… uncertainty, conflict. My Beta, for the first time, was struggling with something he couldn't voice."Elena Ashford has been arrested for theft and suspected conspiracy with the rogue forces," he said, his voice carefully measured. "The evidence was found in her possession…""Evidence that was *planted*!" Anna's voice rang out from where she stood near the window, her usual composure cracking. "Anyone with half a brain can see this was a setup!""Anna." My warning came out as a growl.She fell silent, but her eyes blazed with barely contained rage.Catherine sat in the chair across f
The Lycan King's Captive Chapter 68: the stolen property
Chapter 68: the stolen propertyELENAI burst through the servants' entrance, my lungs burning, joining the river of bodies flowing toward the kitchens. The emergency bell still echoed in my ears, its urgent clanging replaced now by the shuffle of feet and confused whispers of the servants."What's happening?" someone gasped beside me."No idea. Just got pulled from the laundry…"The voices blurred together as I pushed forward, searching for a familiar face in the chaos. The kitchen came into view… every servant in the palace seemed to be crammed into the small space, bodies pressed against each other. Then I saw her. Anna, standing near the far wall, her silver hair catching the lamplight.I shoved my way through the crowd, earning several sharp glares. "Anna!" I hissed when I reached her side. "What's going on?"She turned, her expression carefully neutral. "Elena. Good, you are here.""What happened? Why the emergency bell?""Catherine called it." Anna's voice was flat, but her ey
The Lycan King's Captive Chapter 67: the accident
Chapter 67: the accidentELENAThree days had passed since Anna's revelation, since Catherine started looking for me.I moved through the servants' quarters like smoke, timing my movements with obsessive precision. I knew Catherine's patrol routes now… had memorized them the way a prey animal learns the hunting patterns of predators. She comes through the west wing at dawn, the kitchens at midday, the servants' hall at dusk. I made myself scarce during those times, volunteering for the shifts no one else wanted. The graveyard hours. The thankless tasks that nobody would bother doing.I had stopped attending communal meals, stopped lingering in doorways to chat, stopped existing in any space where Catherine might find me.Unfortunately, tonight I wasn't so lucky. Mia cornered me and immediately assigned me to clean Kieran's private chambers…a task that usually filled me with a complicated knot of dread and something else I refused to name. Thankfully, the chambers were empty when I ar
The Lycan King's Captive Chapter 66: spilling secrets 2
Chapter 66: Spilling secrets 2ELENA“Lets start with this…”Anna's fingers traced the faint silver lines on my back where the whipping scars should have been. Her touch was gentle."Three weeks," she murmured. "Elena, do you understand what this means?"I pulled away, tugging my shirt back down. "It means I heal fast. Some wolves do.""Not like this." Anna's voice was firm. "I've been around werewolves my entire life. I've seen alphas recover from battle wounds, watched betas bounce back from injuries that would kill humans. But this?" She gestured at my unmarked skin. "Twenty lashes should have left scars for months, maybe years. You shouldn't even be able to move without pain right now."My stomach twisted, she was sounding exactly like Marcus ,if not worse. "What are you saying?""I've heard legends," she began slowly. "Stories passed down through generations, whispered in the old pack territories. Tales of ancient lycans, from before the split… before we divided into alphas, bet

KIERAN povThe heavy oak door closed behind us with a solid thud. I moved to the window, staring out at the fortress grounds while Marcus stood at attention behind me. "Tell me everything," I commanded, my voice low. "Leave nothing out."Marcus's account was thorough and damning as well as shocking. He detailed Elena's accelerated healing, the way her scent had changed since their last meeting. When confronted, the fear in her eyes that spoke of hidden knowledge. He described the dead rogue's recognition, the moment of hesitation before the attack resumed."The pieces don't fit, Your Majesty," Marcus concluded. "An omega shouldn't heal that fast. A servant shouldn't provoke such specific interest from unintelligent rogues. And her reactions..." He paused. I remained silent, processing his words carefully. Marcus was right… the inconsistencies were glaring. But there was something he wasn't saying, something I could sense in the careful way he chose his words."You're holding somethi
The Lycan King's Captive Chapter 64: spilling secrets
Chapter 64: spiling secretsELENAThe servants' quarters had become my place of refuge over the past three weeks… I moved through the corridors with my head down, my footsteps quick and purposeful, trying to look busy even when I had nowhere particular to be.It's been three weeks since the rogue attack. Three weeks since those cold eyes had stared at me across the bloodstained courtyard like I was his long lost brethren. Three weeks of nightmares and unanswered questions that gnawed at my mind like hungry wolves.But hopefully like they say, time heals. I turned the corner toward the laundry rooms, my arms full of fresh linens that didn't really need to be carried anywhere. Just another excuse to stay moving, stay invisible, stay away from…"Elena."I froze. That voice. Deep, calculated, voice. My whole body tensed up immediately.Marcus stepped out from an alcove, blocking my path. His tall frame filled the narrow corridor, his beta presence pressing against me like a physical force
