FAZER LOGINChapter 114: the lunas trialElena povIt wasn't long before I discovered I was hopelessly lost.The castle was a labyrinth of identical corridors, each lined with the same ancient tapestries and flickering torches. I turned left, then right, then left again, but nothing looked familiar. My heart began to pound with fresh panic. After everything that had happened tonight, the last thing I needed was to be found wandering the halls like some confused child.I was about to backtrack when I heard footsteps approaching.King Darius emerged from around the corner.My stomach dropped. Of all the people I might have encountered, he was among the worst I would wish never to meet alone. His dark eyes found mine immediately, and a slow smile spread across his face, like he had just found a toy to play with."Well, well," he drawled, moving toward me with predatory grace. "The mysterious Luna, wandering alone. How fortunate."I tried to sidestep him, but he shifted to block my path."In such a h
Chapter 113: the pendant Elena povThe word hung in the air like a death sentence.Forbidden Magic!I felt the blood drain from my face. Magic had been outlawed for over two centuries, ever since the Great Purge when wolves with magical abilities had nearly destroyed the entire Lycan hierarchy in their bid for dominance. Anyone suspected of wielding magic was to be executed immediately, no trial, no mercy. It was the one absolute law that united all packs, all territories, all kingdoms."I don't…" I started, but my voice cracked."Don't lie to me," Theron interrupted, though his tone remained eerily calm. "I felt it downstairs. Felt you fighting against something inside you, struggling to keep it contained. That wasn't wolf energy, Elena. That was something else entirely, but the question is what?”My heart stopped.I looked at him then… really looked at him… with new eyes. Eyes filled with fear, yes, but also a strange, unwilling respect. This wasn't some pompous ruler throwing arou
CHAPTER 112: The King's Chambers**Elena's POVThe walk to Theron's private chambers felt like a funeral march. My legs trembled with each step, partly from the effort of keeping the silver light contained, partly from sheer terror at what awaited us. Kieran's hand remained firmly wrapped around mine, throughout the walk.The guards flanking us were massive, their armor gleaming black and silver in the torchlight. They were nothing like I have seen, they looked more brutal and ready to kill on strike. No one spoke. The only sounds were our footsteps echoing through the marble corridors.We climbed three flights of stairs, moving deeper into the giant castle's upper levels, that could dwarf Kieran's own x 10. The architecture here was different from the Grand Hall below… they were older, more primal. The walls were carved with scenes of battles and hunts, of creatures I could begin to identify. This wasn't just a palace. This was a monument to power itself.Finally, we stopped before
Chapter 111Elena pov“Ohhh, baby, they were bullying me.”Elise's fake voice pierce through my thoughts. I stared dumbstruck at the duo. My brain was trying to process what I was seeing and hearing.My sister, betrothed, was king Darius, who happened to be related to Kieran.“What is the meaning of this nonsense?” Kieran bellowed, his eyes strained on king Darius.“Ohh, my dear cousin, I see you have met my Luna to be, Elise Ashford.”The word echoed in my mind as I looked between them. Now that I knew, I could see it… the similar bone structure, the same predatory grace, the golden eyes that marked them both as Lycan royalty. Kieran had never spoken much about his family, but now I understood why, “How dare you….”"How dare I come to the summit with my chosen Luna?" Darius interrupted, his voice dripping with condescension. "Kieran, is it just me, or as you spend time with your precious little omega, you start to become delusional?""You do not speak ill of my Luna," Kieran snarled,
Elena povMarcus entered, his face tight with concern, and somewhat mixed with pity."We have a problem. Alpha Richard just arrived."My stomach dropped. Richard. My father. The man who had acknowledged me only months ago after a lifetime of pretending I didn't exist.Kieran went very still. "And?...""He brought Elise." He looked at me.The name made my chest tighten. Elise. My half-sister. The golden child of the Crescent Pack, the one who had always been everything I wasn't…powerful, beautiful, legitimate."That bastard," Kieran growled. "He knows what he's doing. Bringing her here is a deliberate provocation.""There's more," Marcus said grimly. "She's been announced as a betrothal candidate... to a Lycan King."I felt the shock ripple through Kieran, followed quickly by fury. His hands clenched into fists, and for a moment, his eyes flashed pure gold."Which Lycan King?" Kieran's voice was dangerously quiet.Marcus hesitated. "They haven't announced the name yet. But the rumor is
CHAPTER 109: The Summit ArrivesElena's POVI was in shock throughout the preparations.The guards changed the burst tires into the spare ones, and the bodies of the dead rogues were burnt with brutal precision that shook me to my bones You did well," Kieran murmured as the car sped down the road, "You were able to hold your ground against those rogues… that was incredible."I wanted to feel proud. But instead, I felt terrified. My body wouldn't stop shaking at the attack. It was oddly suspicious, and for the fact that Magic was involved, made it even more unbearable than before.I nodded, not trusting myself to say anything. The rest of the ride back was quiet and filled with unspoken words and tension.Kierans and Marcus continued to exchange eye contact, loaded with unspoken weight…shock, recognition, and something that looked dangerously close to fear.Marcus's eyes flicked to me, then back to Kieran. His lips moved silently, forming words I couldn't quite make out. But I saw it
Chapter 35: Shattered trustKieran's POV"A traitor!!"The word tore from my throat like a curse, and I watched Elena flinch as if I had struck her. Good. Let her feel a fraction of the pain that was currently ripping through my chest."Take her away," I commanded, turning my back before she could
CHAPTER 34: The Trap SpringsElena povI could not breathe. Hell I forgot how to breathe. Words failed to make sense to me, and the word “little liar” continued to ring in my head numerous times.But no matter how I tried to convince myself that I was in a dream, I knew that it was all true. His d
