"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 Blackthor

  • The Lycan King’s Forgotten Wife   Chapter 99: Still Disoriented

    ARDEN POVI must have fallen asleep near dawn, because the next time I opened my eyes, the room was bright and the bed was empty."Gone," I said to the empty room, my voice sounding smaller than I wanted it to.The sheets beside me were still warm. I slid my hand across the dent where his body had been, feeling the heat fade slowly under my fingers. Morning light leaked through the curtains, and I could hear the city waking far below—horns,engines, and the hum of a world that hadn't changed at all.He had stayed longer than last time. I made myself admit it, because it was true. He had stayed until nearly dawn, with his hand on my ribs and my name on his lips. It was more than he had ever given me before.Still, it felt like an escape, and it left a cold space in my chest.I found my robe on the floor next to his torn shirt and dressed without looking at the bed. A glass of water sat on the nightstand. I stared at it for a long time, wondering if he had left it for me or had someone

  • The Lycan King’s Forgotten Wife   Chapter 98: What Neither Can Outrun2

    ARDEN POV“Yours.”“Again.”“Yours, Ronan—fuck.”He drove harder. One hand pinned my wrists above my head. The other gripped my hip so tight I knew there would be bruises. Sweat dripped from his chest onto mine. The wet slap of skin on skin filled the room, mixed with his low,continuous growls and the broken sounds I couldn’t hold back.“Smell so fucking good,” he muttered against my throat. “Been driving me crazy for months. Need to come inside you. Need to mark you so every wolf in this tower knows.”I came first, sudden and violent, clenching around him so hard my vision went white. He kept thrusting through it,dragging every last tremor out of me until I was shaking and oversensitive.He pulled out suddenly, breathing hard, the head of his cock wet and glistening against my stomach. He was close—I could see it in the way his whole body locked up.“Not yet,” he growled. “Want you on top. Want to watch you take it.”He rolled onto his back and pulled me with him. I straddled his hip

    ARDEN POV"Dr. Marcellis, you can't go up there," the guard said, stepping into the middle of the corridor with both hands raised. "The King's orders are that no one leaves this floor tonight.""Then you'd better tell him I said no," I answered, and I kept walking.My bare feet slapped against the cold marble, and I didn't care. I had woken up gasping an hour ago with the bond burning behind my ribs like a coal, and I'd lay there arguing with myself until the ache grew so loud that I couldn't hear my own thoughts. Then I put on my robe and opened the door, and I hadn't once looked back.The second guard, a broad young man with a nervous face, glanced at his partner and then at me. Something in the way I was standing must have reached him, because his eyes widened and slid away, and he stepped sideways against the wall."Let her pass," he muttered."Brandt, he said""Look at her eyes," Brandt whispered. "Do you want to be the one who stops her?"I didn't wait to hear the answer. I walk

  • The Lycan King’s Forgotten Wife   Chapter 96: Second Fever

    RONAN POV"Another one is coming, Your Majesty," Elias said, and he kept his eyes on the blood panel in his hands instead of on me. "I would say within days, not weeks, and I'm sorry to be the one telling you."I put down my pen very slowly. The morning sun was cutting across my desk in a bright, clean line, and for a moment all I could hear was the faint tick of the clock on the wall."A second rut," I said."Yes.""They don't come that close together. Mine has always been once a year, in the spring, and the last one was barely months ago.""That's exactly the problem." Elias rubbed the back of his neck, and I saw how tired he looked, with dark smudges under his eyes and a wrinkle in his collar that wasn't like him. "Your body is not following the natural cycle anymore. The poison left damage in your system, and the bond is pulling everything out of rhythm, so your biology is behaving like a clock someone has wound too tight.""Can you stop it?""I can suppress it, a little, with the

  • The Lycan King’s Forgotten Wife   Chapter 95:

    ARDEN POVAfter we hung up, I stayed sitting at the lab bench for a long time with my good hand flat on the cold table. The lab hummed quietly, the freezer in the corner clicked on, and somewhere twelve floors above me, people were going about their normal lives, totally unaware of what was happening.I was done leaving the secret registry files alone. For weeks, I had treated it like a locked door, trying the handle and walking away to easier ones just to survive. But the people behind it had built a huge mountain of lies on top of those secret papers, and I was done being polite.I couldn't reach the real court records from where I sat. My only tool was the lab computer using the simple login Elias gave me. It could only see lab files and a tiny bit of the company's internal system, and nothing else.But that tiny piece included the office where the official stamp had been logged, which was enough to start. If a clerk stamped the file, they had a boss, and the boss had a paycheck wi

    ARDEN POV"You haven't touched your tea," Selene said, setting the small silver tray on the lab bench beside my elbow. "Drink it, child. It's ginger and honey, and it'll do more for that arm than Elias's painkillers."I stared at the cup, then at her, because the Dowager Luna did not carry trays. She had walked into a basement lab at seven in the morning with a servant trailing two steps behind her, and she had sent the servant away at the door."Thank you, Your Grace," I said slowly."Selene will do." She lowered herself onto the stool across from me and rested both hands on her cane. "I don't think we need to be so formal, you and I."She just watched me carefully take a sip from the cup, and when I swallowed, she nodded like I had just passed a little test."Good," she said. "Now, I'm told you aren't allowed to leave this floor.""That's what the King's order says.""Orders are paper." She waved one thin hand. "I'll have Elias send down the good chair, and a heater, because this ro
