Falcon placed his fist on his chest. "Yes, Your Grace."

Rickon let out a soft whimper, biting his lips hard. Tears were literally running down his face.

Duncan waved his hand, dismissing them. As they left, his gaze settled on Arianna, who seemed to be trying to hold in her laughter by pressing her lips together.

His eyes lingered on her. She shouldn't look this beautiful—that was why he had thought Nyra had done too much dressing her up when he first saw her.

Smooth, radiant golden skin, high cheekbones, a sharp nose, and full lips. Especially when she released them from the pressure of biting, wet and inviting.

No wonder the Lords and nobles went crazy in the grand court at her trial.

Now that he thought of it, his expression shifted to a cold one.

'Those bloody fools!' Ash growled beneath the surface, and Duncan agreed.

'Mine is beautiful,' Ash muttered, the voice vibrating in his head like a soft melody, but Duncan said nothing, only staring as he continued studying her.

  • The Lycan King's Forbidden Craving    255: Too precious

    Centuries, Duncan had seen offspring, seen how parents offered everything to give them life. But he never thought of his own. Not when he hadn’t found a mate and rightful Queen for the throne.In honesty, back then he might not have really cared. After losing his parents, Duncan, being the last line of his bloodline, never brought himself to the conclusion of wanting a family. Perhaps it was the trauma, or simply because he had buried himself into politics and locked his heart.He wanted a mate due to his illness and loneliness. He wanted an heir just for politics.But when Arianna told him about her dream of having children, something new awoke in him.What would it feel like to be a father?And then heaven did it. She got pregnant, and by the gods, when Arianna told him about their son, Duncan felt his head spiral into a world he had never known.The emotions that swirled in his chest were raw, untamed like a new light awakened after centuries of being buried. And ever since that da

  • The Lycan King's Forbidden Craving    254: Long night

    Indeed, the ground was littered with dead bodies, soaked in blood, and in some parts, the earth growled with fire.Orien hid behind a large tree, watching the ongoing fight in the camps. One figure caught his attention the most.The Beta. Lucas.He pulled back, sucking in a huge breath. How in the world had this happened?They had been ready to attack a pack when, all of a sudden, they got ambushed. Not just by anyone, but by the Beta himself, the one they thought was dead.His mind slipped back to that night when he had been sent to confirm whether Mearina was truly killed by Lord Merek's army. Once that was confirmed, he left to inform Lord Valoreth.So how was this same male now slashing through their armies and ruining everything?Orien weaved his way through the trees, keeping his hood up to conceal his face, he entered their secret abode hidden by trees and darkness.He dug through drawers, pulled out a sheet and a quill, and wrote two messages. One was for Valoreth, the other f

    “Rheal.” Lylah raised a brow.“Fine. I'm rooting for you auntie,” he said and shut the window.Lylah smiled dropped as she faced the guard.“Why are rogues coming here? I thought Elder Varyn said this small mountain was off-limits and safe.”“I—I don’t know, My Lady. We were doing the usual rounds, then this one just dropped from the trees like a damn shadow.” He spat, eyes scanning the treeline afar. “Could be a scout.”Lylah’s eyes narrowed. “A scout means more are coming.”Another guard appeared, breathless. “My Lady, we just found tracks leading in from the southern ridge. Fresh. Might be a group… maybe six or seven, but it’s hard to tell. Could be more.”Lylah cursed under her breath and quickly glanced back toward the chamber Rheal and Cal were resting in.“Double the perimeter. Set two archers on each wall and make sure the east watch gets the update. I'll handle it here.”The guards nodded and scattered to obey.Lylah suddenly caught a scent and muttered, “You've got to be shi

    In the north wing, the Crimson Pack was among the list of packs about to be raided. Thanks to soldiers from the recent Ouroboros war who had deceived Valoreth, they were able to obtain information early and immediately devised a plan.“I've got a signal. They’ll be here any moment,” one soldier said to Falcon.Falcon nodded and stepped down from the wall, approaching the gates just as they opened to let Eryz ride in with a cart.“Got enough weapons?” he asked.“Sure. Enough to soak the earth in devils’ blood. Not just weapons though—we brought someone as well,” Eryz replied, giving Falcon a cue to look at the next horse riding in.Falcon froze, his lips parting as he watched the male, clad in a common tunic and strapped with weapons, dismount the horse.“M… my Lord?”Lucas approached with a small smile. “Good to see you again, Falcon.”“My Lord!” Falcon shouted, bolting forward to hug him without a second thought, eyes welling with tears. “Oh my goodness, you're a…” He paused, suddenl

    Arianna stepped further until she was fully in the moonlight.“You were saying something about the silver-haired devil?” Arianna crooked her head gently. “Well, here I am.”Damaris stiffened. The rogue army behind him began to murmur, shifting without noticing, while some licked their lips with craving.It’s the full moon, after all. The urge could overcome the right senses.But those who knew the story behind the familiar female standing before them felt their breath hitch.“Remember what you said the last time, Damaris? That the King lost himself trying to protect me. That you swore to protect the Moon Realm. That the realm deserves better, and I, Arianna Greystone, will not be part of it. Even if I keep trying, there will be no place for a devil…” she raised both hands gently, “…like me.”Damaris’ jaw clenched.“A devil, huh?" She scoffed. "I wonder if we have the same definition. You’re about to raid and kill the ones you claimed to protect.”Damaris’ tongue clicked, other hand cl

  • The Lycan King's Forbidden Craving    250: The seated king

    Not real. This is not real. You're simply hallucinating, Valoreth. Perhaps you fell asleep in your chamber and haven’t woken up yet. This is just another nightmare. Duncan Thornevale isn't sitting on his fucking throne. His gaze settled on Sahrak. The male was no longer breathing. Gone? Judging by his state, Duncan must have been torturing him the entire time he’d gone missing. Valoreth suddenly slapped his own face, the sound echoing through the vast hall. “Wake up!” Slap. “Wake up!!!” Slap. “Wake up, goddammit!!!” He screamed. And screamed. No longer slapping, now scratching at his own face until blood dripped to the floor. The sting gave him a cruel reminder. Everything was real. Duncan was still there, seeming to enjoy the show. How was this possible? The poison should have killed him. Valoreth had seen the skulls. The bones. It had been seven years, so how was this possible? Valoreth tried to gather the pieces. Tried to fish out every possibilities but, non
