[Elian’s POV]

The transition from a King’s favor to a King’s footstool happened with a violence that was mostly silent.

The guards did not speak as they dragged me down the spiral staircase of the East Tower. Their gauntlets were cold, iron-hard against my bruised biceps, but I didn't struggle. I didn't even breathe. My body felt like a lead weight, anchored to the stone floor by the sheer gravity of Cillian’s doubt.

“Did you do it?”

The question was still vibrating in my bones, more painful th

  • The Lycan King’s Hidden Male Omega: MM Romance   Where is my mate?

    [Cillian’s POV]The freezing wind hit my face like tiny icy needles. It bit my skin, but I wanted it to hurt. I wanted to feel the pain. I deserved it.Under me, my big black warhorse let out a wet, sick sound. The poor animal had been running for hours without stopping. It was pushing through deep snow that reached its chest. Its muscles were shaking hard, but I kicked my boots into its sides again. I needed to go faster.Do not come looking for my body.Those dark words from the fake letter repeated in my head over and over. I reached my freezing hand inside my heavy coat. I pressed my hand over my pocket. Inside it was the piece of torn shirt, covered in Elian’s dried blood. Even through my thick gloves, I felt like I could feel his broken heart beating.He had broken our mate bond. The pain of it had almost stopped my own heart. But the broken bond was not what was driving me crazy. It was his final words.My body. He was not running away to hide. He was walking out into the freez

  • The Lycan King’s Hidden Male Omega: MM Romance   Still have thought of the king

    [Elian’s POV]I opened my eyes. The cave was pitch black.The small fire we built earlier was dead. Only the faint smell of smoke was left in the freezing air. I shivered, pulling the thin, dirty blanket tight around my shoulders.I looked around the dark, empty cave. I was so scared"Kaelen?" I whispered.Only the howling wind outside answered me.More fear dropped into my stomach like a heavy stone. I pushed myself up from the cold dirt floor. My legs felt weak. Where was he? Did the royal guards finally find him?Or did he just leave? Did he finally realize that a broken, useless Omega wasn't worth the trouble?I couldn't even blame him if he left. I was nothing but a burden.I dragged myself toward the cave entrance. The storm outside was screaming, throwing walls of white snow across the rocks. I hugged my arms, staring out into the freezing, empty night, feeling completely abandoned.Then, a tall shadow stepped out of the white wind.I gasped, stumbling back.It was Kaelen.He s

  • The Lycan King’s Hidden Male Omega: MM Romance   My mate is coming home to me

    [Cillian’s POV]The blizzard was blinding, but I did not slow down.I pushed my massive black warhorse to the absolute limit, digging my heels into its sides. The freezing wind whipped my face, turning my skin numb, but I couldn't feel the cold. The only thing I felt was the heavy, suffocating weight of my own guilt.Elian.His name repeated in my head with every thundering strike of my horse's hooves. My inner Alpha was pacing frantically against my ribs, howling with anxiety. I had been so blind. I had let that wicked Queen trick me. I had taken the only pure, beautiful thing in my life, tied his hands, and ripped his back open with my own whip.I swallowed hard, my throat burning. I was the Warlord of the North. Kings did not beg.But I was going to beg.I was going to march into that freezing silver mine, drop to my knees on the dirty stone floor, and I was not going to get back up until my mate forgave me.Suddenly, through the thick, swirling wall of white snow, two dark shapes a

    [Kaelen’s POV]The silver in my gut felt like I had swallowed a handful of burning coals.Every time I took a breath of the freezing air, the poison in my muscles burned. Sick, black veins pulsed across my stomach. I pressed my hand over the rough bandage, grinding my teeth so I wouldn't groan.I stood at the edge of the cave, letting the heavy snow hit my face. Behind me, safe in the dark, Elian was finally asleep. When I closed my eyes, I could still hear his loud, broken crying. I could still see the deep, ugly cuts covering his back.My inner Alpha clawed at my chest, wild with a strong urge to protect him. I had made a promise to myself and the Omega. The King would never touch him again. Not while I am alive.Suddenly, my ears picked up a sound.I froze. The storm was loud, throwing snow everywhere, but under the wind, I heard something strange.Crunch. Clink.Heavy horse hooves breaking the ice. The soft sound of metal armor.I took a deep breath, trying to smell them, but I go

  • The Lycan King’s Hidden Male Omega: MM Romance   The Truth is out

    [Cillian’s POV]The heavy oak doors of my study closed, leaving me alone in the suffocating silence.Selene was gone, banished to rot in the freezing dark of the lowest dungeon, but the victory brought me absolutely no peace. The pieces of the puzzle were finally snapping together in my mind, forming a picture so horrifying it made my inner Lycan howl in pure agony. The goblet, Elian’s hands being crushed. But I still didn't have the full truth. When I brought Martha into my study, she was so terrified she lied straight to my face, claiming Elian was a greedy thief."Bring me the healer," I commanded the guard outside my door. My voice was a hollow, dead rasp. "Now."Less than five minutes later, the doors opened. Gaius stepped into the study.He was an old man, his face deeply lined with decades of service to the Blackwood crown. Usually, servants and staff bowed low when summoned into my presence, terrified of my volatile Alpha aura. But Gaius did not cower. He stood perfectly strai

    Ellian P.O.V"He did that to me," I whispered. The words tasted like ash and blood in my mouth. "The King.""I know," Kaelen answered softly. His jaw tightened, a muscle feathering in his cheek. "No one survives the silver mines with a smooth back. But those scars... they are not from a regular guard's whip. A guard strikes to break the skin. An Alpha strikes to break the soul. I know a Warlord’s work when I see it."He slowly moved his hand from my knee and rested it flat on the dirt between us, palm up. An open invitation. A safe space."Tell me," Kaelen urged gently. "If you carry the weight of it alone in the dark, it will eventually crush you. Tell me what he did to you."For a long moment, I just stared at his open hand.No one had ever asked me for the truth. Cillian had demanded it. Selene had twisted it. The kingdom had ignored it. But this feral, scarred rogue Alpha sitting in the dirt simply wanted to listen.I took a deep, shaky breath, letting my head fall back against the
