The Lycan King’s Forgotten Wife Chapter 16:
Ronan pov "No, darling," I said, offering her a fleeting, reassuring look so she wouldn't worry. "I have work in my office."I walked out of the council chamber and down the long, carpeted hallway toward the private elevator. Every step felt like walking through deep mud. The heat in my chest was growing, pulsing in time with my rapid heartbeat.By six in the evening, I was sitting behind the wide mahogany desk in my office on the top floor of Aurelian Tower. The sun was setting over Blackthorne City, painting the glass windows in deep shades of orange and purple.I opened the top drawer of my desk.Inside lay the faded, threadbare coat I had kept locked away for seven long years—the only piece of evidence left from the night Celeste had saved my life in Black Hollow. I reached out and touched the coarse fabric with my thumb. Instantly, the faint, lingering scent of wild berries hit my senses.Aurel stirred in my mind again, letting out a quiet, pained whine.Where is she? the wolf wh
The Lycan King’s Forgotten Wife Chapter 15: The First Symptom
Ronan POV My throat burned like I had swallowed hot coals. I sat at the head of the heavy mahogany table in the upper council room, my right hand resting flat against the dark wood. Across the room, two elders were arguing over land rights in the eastern territory, their voices rising with every passing minute. "The eastern border requires extra guards, Your Majesty," Elder Vane said, leaning over his papers. "The rogue packs are pressing closer." "The border is fine," I said. My voice sounded rough, even to my own ears. A sudden, sharp pain flared beneath my ribs. It felt like a thin silver blade digging directly into my side, twisting slowly. I tightened my jaw, pressing my palm harder against the edge of the table to keep my shoulders straight. My wolf, Aurel, growled deep inside my chest. He was agitated, pacing back and forth in my mind, but his strength felt strangely muffled—like trying to roar underwater. Heal it, I commanded my wolf. Nothing happened. The pain did not
The Lycan King’s Forgotten Wife Chapter 14: Old Ties
Arden pov Mira let out a breath, her posture softening with relief before hardening back into focus. "How did no one know about the birth?" "I’m sure Darius and Octavia kept it out of every record," I said, holding out the crumpled grey paper. "The state registry shows a closed corporate transfer signed by Marcellis Biotech. The date is wrong. The stamp is fake. Darius lied to me in the medical wing. He told me they were safe, but he erased them from the books." Mira took the paper, her eyes scanning the text quickly as shock turned into sharp rage. "They hid a double birth from the public registry? That's illegal even for a noble family. If Darius erased them, it means he wanted no trace connecting those babies to you." "I am going back to that house," I said, my teeth grinding together. "I went to the gate as a beggar, and his guards turned me away. I won't ask permission this time." "Do you have a phone?" Mira asked, looking at my hands. "I have an old one," I said, reaching
The Lycan King’s Forgotten Wife Chapter 13: False Records
Arden pov My heart hammered against my ribs as I grabbed the paper. My thumb smeared the fresh ink as I read the bold text printed across the middle:DISPOSITION: CLOSEDSUBJECT A (MALE INFANT) — TRANSFERRED / ADOPTED INTERNATIONALLYSUBJECT B (FEMALE INFANT) — TRANSFERRED / ADOPTED INTERNATIONALLYSTATUS: UNREACHABLE / RECORDS PERMANENTLY SEALED BY MARCELLIS BIOTECH LEGAL COUNSELI stared at the words, my vision blurring. "Adopted internationally? Unreachable?""It means they are out of the country," the clerk said, picking up her pen. "They were placed with private international guardians years ago. There are no contact addresses, no registry numbers, and no visitation pathways. The file is closed."I shook my head, my eyes scanning down to the bottom of the form.Something was wrong.The date of the transfer was listed as November 12th—two days before I actually gave birth. The official seal at the bottom of the form wasn't the emblem of the State Family Court; it was a generic co
The Lycan King’s Forgotten Wife Chapter 12: Sealed Records
Arden pov "I am Arden Marcellis," I said, my hand gripping the cold iron bars until my knuckles turned white. "And this is my father's house."The guard laughed again, louder this time. He took a step forward, his boot crunching on the wet gravel. "Look, lady, I don't care what kind of mental break you're having. You've got three seconds to turn around and walk down that hill, or I'm putting you in hand restraints for trespassing."I stared into his eyes, not flinching. Seven years of cold concrete and iron bars had burned the fear out of me. But standing here, shivering in a thin cotton jacket while a guard denied my name, I knew I couldn't fight my way past security. I had no money, no leverage, and no family left inside that house who would claim me."Fine," I said, my voice cutting through the sound of the falling rain. "Keep the gate closed. But tell Darius that the past doesn't stay buried forever."I turned on my heel and walked back down the long, winding driveway. The rain s
The Lycan King’s Forgotten Wife Chapter 11: Years Later
Arden POVYears later I shoved open the heavy metal doors and stepped out into the freezing air. The sky was a pale, washed-out grey. Cold rain hit my face, making me shiver inside the thin, stiff cotton jacket the prison had issued me.Behind me, the iron gates of Irongate Prison slammed shut with a sharp, heavy bang. The thick bolt slid into place. The sound rang out across the empty gravel driveway, but I did not turn around.Seven years were finally over. I looked down at the wet gravel. My boots donated from the prison discharge bin—were worn, the leather peeling near the toes. In my left hand, I held a clear plastic bag provided by the intake clerk. Inside was everything the state allowed me to leave with: thirty-two dollars in crumpled discharge cash and a cheap, refurbished prepaid phone with a cracked screen that the prison social worker had handed me at the desk.Nobody was waiting for me. The road leading away from the prison was completely empty, stretching out between ta
