The Lycan King's Forbidden Craving 233: Seven years ago {1}
{Seven years ago}The realm will fall and so will its king.Duncan was breathing hard, veins bulging at his forehead as he struggled with his Quill. He could feel it. The unmistakable poison spreading through his nerves.Painless, but deadly. Ash was already at the edge, fighting it, and he knew he wouldn’t have much time left.Why? Why did it have to be on a day like this?Not finding out about the poisoning plot had been his greatest mistake. Connecting the dots too late was his downfall, but how could he have stopped it?It was written to happen.He had thought he could rewrite fate. Stop it. But he was wrong.It hurt. To know that once his eyes closed, they might never open again. So he decided to write down his plans. The ones he had prepared the night he found out Arianna was pregnant.He selected a few he could trust. Barely. But he hoped to the gods they would hear him.At least, that had been the damned purpose of going to the ritual before Arianna's bloodline was exposed.Lo

“Seven hundred. Shh.” She playfully placed a finger to her lips, then whispered, “Duncan doesn’t know my real age. Seers don’t usually live that long, but the heavens paused my aging so I could suffer properly for my crime. I was released just over forty years ago. That’s when I met the King and became his High Seer.”Arianna’s throat tightened as she tried to process her words, but Evelora continued.“The same thing happened to your mother, Drakora. Even though I interfered, the war was destined to happen. That was fate. She tampered with it by breaking the heavens’ rule and was punished for it. But someone was born—someone meant to set everything back in motion.”Silence.Arianna’s brows furrowed deeply. “Me?”“Of course,” Evelora shrugged, one hand gently stroking the beast’s fur. “Why do you think you bear the blood of two realms and were mated to the King of the moon realm?” the old woman said softly. “Why do you think the heavens saved you and gave you that power? It was to repa

Arianna’s eyes darted around the small place, her dry throat tightening and her head reeling with thoughts driving into her mind. Books… a cup of tea?“Don't…” she almost choked on her words. “Don't tell me you've been here this whole time.”Silence.That was enough to give her the answer, and her lips parted in disbelief.“I can explain,” he said.She pulled herself away from his hold and turned to look at him.Her breath seized.In the dark, he had slightly changed. Longer hair, a short beard like those times, golden eyes with sharp irises indicating his restraint. They looked relieved, happy—extremely happy to see her—yet with a hint of guilt. They didn't glow bright like before; it was as though they had lost most of their light.And then the cracks.So many dark, jagged cracks on his pale skin, spreading across his frame and disappearing through his tunics and pants. Those cracks were like the ones she saw when she satisfied his rut for the first time. His chest was heaving, his

Brigid stumbled back, paled. This is bad.This is really bad.She froze at the sound of footsteps. Shit. Didn’t that damn mage stop the soldiers?She looked at Arianna’s pale face. The news had been so much to take it, she was worried how devastating Arianna must be right now.They couldn’t let those soldiers see her like this. Brigid quickly turned to distract them.They had just passed the second gate when they saw her approaching"Stop right there."The soldiers obeyed but frowned."You’re not going in there."Silence.They scoffed. "We are high ranked soldiers. Ones who solely follow Lord Valoreth’s orders. Just because you’re the Queen doesn’t mean you can stop us."Brigid glanced down at their yellow badges. They were indeed Valoreth’s men. Strong scent. Lycans."The coffin is... shaking. Whatever is inside it is dangerous. The king's beast.""That’s why we’re heading there. We are Lycan soldiers, Your Majesty."Brigid swallowed. Arianna needed more time in there. ____Arianna

Finally, the ritual was over. Sahrak cleared his throat, gently glancing over his shoulder."It's done. The magic on the shackles is gone now, and it can be broken with just force."With speed, Arianna appeared before him and pinned him against the wall, fire engulfing and floating in her other hand."The first time I saw you, you gave me a womb destroyal poison to end my child. Gave me Beeswax for my lips, to poison my mate. You helped Valoreth, stayed with him while my world collapsed. So why?" She tilted her head, eyes blazing. "Why are you suddenly listening to me? I honestly thought you would’ve shouted out my presence to those bastards. But you didn’t... You didn’t fight back either, despite being a powerful mage."Sahrak sucked in a deep breath. "You carry the trace of a deity’s power. It would be a death wish to go against you."Arianna scoffed. "Sounds like a joke to me. I don’t trust you."Brigid stared, wondering what shocked her the most — that Arianna was pregnant seven y

~~Lunaris Citedal.~~Arianna didn’t let go of Brigid’s hand. Not even once.Hours had passed. Brigid was quiet now, lost as she sat on the floor while the mage continued the ritual.Toran’s lifeless body was wrapped from head to toe.“He doesn’t deserve you, Brigid,” Arianna whispered, and she slowly turned her head to her.“I know,” she whispered. A tear rolled down her cheek. “I just... I just couldn’t take it in. He took me in when I needed someone the most... and I just couldn’t see the cracks. He hurt me so much, and I just can’t stop my heart from beating for him. It’s wild... I feel so trapped. And I feel so stupid for that.”Brigid lowered her head, shame washing over her face.“Well, I’m not sorry for doing this. But I hope you find the one who truly deserves you.”“Thanks for... helping me through this,” Brigid shook her head. “I hope you’ll forgive me, Aria. I’ve wronged you in so many ways. I really hope you do.”Arianna gave a small nod.Brigid let out a shaky breath of r
