Brigid spent her evening alone beside the tree where Selene’s body was buried.

She had begged Toran six years ago to bury the head maid here in return for agreeing to marry him. Though it was pointless, as he was already prepared to force her into it, surprisingly, Toran had agreed.

Hours passed as she stared into space, heavy emotions swirling in her chest. Her parents’ death didn’t hit her the way Selene’s death did.

The woman had been the one guiding and caring for her despite her attitude. But now she was gone—all because of her greed.

She knew Selene never meant to push her away. She simply wanted her to come back to her senses. But… it’s all over now, isn’t it?

There’s no going back, and she was going to live with that guilt forever.

Wiping her tears, she rose to her feet and left, her guards trailing behind.

It was past midnight. Darkness clouded the sky, barely a star in sight. The wind was soft, carrying the faint scent of intimacy. Moans and groans echoed faintly from distan

  • The Lycan King's Forbidden Craving    247: The gathering

    The gathering was happening tonight, and all Alphas were to attend. It was the talk of the town. Many were unsettled because the gathering was meant to dispel the rumors about the previous King, Duncan.Some believed he had been poisoned and killed by those in power. Others believed he was alive and possibly trapped somewhere, as rumors about a coffin and spell had spread.There was so much confusion to clear, so many unanswered questions. All the realm wanted was an explanation. But one thing baffled them...Why was the gathering scheduled for nightfall under the full moon?Only Valoreth knew the answer. It wasn't just a night of gathering. It was a night of terror. Tonight, he was going to set everything straight and let the realm know that doubting him came with consequences.Valoreth allowed the maids to dress him in his robe and apply makeup to conceal his ghostly appearance. After they finished, he dismissed them, his gaze fixed on the mirror.Staring back at him was a male worn

    "This is so pretty. It looks just like Eryndor. It reminds me so much of Selene," Lylah said as they gathered in the private room.Sylra nervously stared at the creature in her arms, which was eyeing everyone as if marking their faces, especially Cal, whose mouth wouldn’t stay closed."Do you mind if I shove a piece of bread into your mouth and choke you?" Eshara asked."Don't you see it, Eshara? They’ll soon be Dragon Keepers and my adopted mom is one now! It's a big thing. I can't even wrap my head around it. What if I get to have a dragon too?"Eshara smacked him on the head. "You think the goddess will choose you?""Why are you so hard on me? You like me or something?" Cal whined.Eshara rolled her eyes."Have you figured out a name for it yet?" Lylah asked Sylra."No... I'll do that later. The goddess will show me the way. Uhm... how's Rheal?""I'm good," Rheal said, stepping into the room with Sylra's sister, a small smile on his face. "I'm here to see the creature and say goodb

    That night, Valoreth was haunted by nightmares again. This time, Duncan was seated on the throne like the devil he was, laughing at him. Those piercing golden eyes sent chills down his spine. Behind the throne, flames glowed to life… “You won’t escape me, Valoreth,” he said, his voice echoing in several deep, overlapping tones. As if that wasn’t enough, Arianna appeared beside him, looking like the dead. Dark cracks crawling across her skin, her eyes white, her head crooked to the side in an eerie, unnatural way. A creepy grin spread across her lips as she whispered in a haunting voice: “We’ll haunt you forever. There’s always a space in hell for scumbags like you.” The grin widened. “You’ll forever and forever pay for your mistake… Valoreth Bellion,” she finished in a low, deadly whisper. “Forever.” Valoreth shivered in place. “You’re dead! You’re fucking dead!” he screamed. Suddenly, they vanished, disappearing into thin air. The space turned pitch black and silent, save for

    Fire crackled, casting a warm glow in the room. Valoreth stood by the window frame, drowned in thought. "So, have you found out who this mysterious savior of the realm is?" Damaris, seated behind him, asked. Valoreth rolled his eyes. "What's the point of investigating? Aren’t they doing us a favor already? There's no need to waste time on it. Instead, we should focus on the upcoming gathering and claim the saving efforts as our own." "But still, Valoreth, we need to see it through. Remember the scrolls in the king's study went missing. Someone stole and tended to them. Don’t you think we should know who it really was?" Damaris looked uneasy. Valoreth turned sharply from the window to face him. "Could be one of the lower-ranked lords. Lord Merek or Lord Atheon, maybe. Probably trying to show off. Why are you so troubled about this? Did you find something?" Damaris sighed. "Well… one of the Alphas on our side overheard something strange. Someone claimed they saw a male with sil

    {Moon realm}Arianna woke up from the countless kisses on her forehead. She forced her eyes to open a little. Through her blurred vision, she saw Duncan staring down at her with a worried look.“It's almost noon, little flame. You have to eat and take some herbs.”Arianna blinked, voice hoarse and low. “Why do I feel like I've been trampled by thousands of horses?”His concern turned into guilt. “I must have gone too hard. I'm sorry, dearest. Sit up.” He reached to help her sit, but Arianna winced at the ache between her legs.Duncan bit his lower lip hard. He sighed, digging one hand through his dark hair.When Arianna noticed, she asked, “Don't tell me you're feeling guilty about last night?”“I lost control Ari,” he said. “I went all the way, and… I might have gone too far.”Arianna chuckled at his cuteness, though she ached everywhere, especially between her legs.“You passed out,” he continued.Arianna blinked. She didn't recall passing out, all she remembered was the intense po

    Rheal had only slept for two hours when he woke again, he found Lylah beside him. Cal was sleeping soundly, while Eshara was also awake.“Rheal,” she whispered, reaching to caress his hair.“Is Grandma awake?” he sat up.Lylah’s smile was tight. “Not yet. Morning is close, she’ll be up by then. Go back to sleep, or it might affect your health.”“But I had a nightmare. I’m afraid to go back to sleep.”“What nightmare?”“Grandma said goodbye.”Lylah stopped stroking his hair.“Will Grandma really be okay?”Lylah couldn't reply. Sylra’s words were still ringing in her head. She still hadn’t figured out how to tell Rheal about Drakora. Drakora had raised him, it would break his heart.“Why aren’t you saying anything?” he muttered, his voice close to breaking.“Hey, uhm… I really don’t know how to say this, but your grandma…” she paused and sighed. Gawd, this is hard.“Lylah,” a female Ouroborous knocked and opened the door. “Sylra called for you.”“I’ll be right back,” Lylah said to Rhea
