The Lycan King's Outcast Omega Ch. 77
Lyra "What do you want?" I ask Vega, refusing to let her intimidation tactics work. "Why attack us like this?""Want? I want what was promised in the original prophecy – the restoration of true power to those who deserve it." Her eyes fix on Alexander. "Your family stole the throne from its rightful heirs generations ago, using healing blood to corrupt the pure Alpha line. I intend to rectify that ancient wrong.""By destroying healing bloodlines?" Kieran challenges. "By hunting down healers like animals?"Vega's lip curls in contempt. "By purifying what was corrupted. The true prophecy never meant cooperation between Alpha might and healing gifts – it meant the subjugation of the lesser to the greater.""You're wrong," I say with absolute certainty. "The true prophecy speaks of balance, not dominance. We've seen it now, felt it through our bond.""Of course you'd say that," Vega replies dismissively. "But I have older sources, texts preserved when yours were destroyed in the Crimson

LyraThe world explodes into chaos around me. Vega's attack tears through our ritual circle, sending waves of dark energy crashing against the fragile silver light of our partially formed bond. Pain rips through me, both from the magical assault and from feeling Alexander's agony echoing through our connection. Beside me, Kieran's hand tightens on mine, his face determined despite the dangerous magic swirling around us."Hold on to each other!" Queen Sage shouts above the chaos. "Don't break the circle!"I cling to both Alexander and Kieran, refusing to let go even as Vega's magic claws at our connection. Vega strides forward, her hands weaving complex patterns in the air that send more darkness flowing toward us."The prince's healing essence should have faded by now," she says, confusion briefly crossing her face. "How are you maintaining this level of stability?"Alexander's eyes meet mine, a silent communication passing between us. Then his gaze shifts to Kieran, and I feel someth

Alexander "It's not enough," my mother says, genuine fear entering her voice for the first time. "The contingency is stronger than anticipated."Through the haze of pain, I become aware of Lyra's determination flooding our bond, her refusal to surrender despite the agony we're both experiencing. Her grip tightens on both our hands, forming a physical manifestation of her resolution to hold us together."What do we need?" Kieran asks, ever the voice of reason, even in crisis.My mother hesitates only briefly before answering. "A claim, Speak aloud your intentions for this bond."The implication hangs in the air between us. We brought Kieran into our circle and the bond is demanding we clim him. Under normal circumstances, I’d want more time to think, to consider the outcome of such a choice. With pain tearing through me and our bond threatening to shatter permanently, normal considerations no longer apply."I love you," I tell Lyra first, the words flowing easily despite our audience.

AlexanderThe sanctuary glows with ethereal light as final preparations for the ritual unfold around us. Moonflower essence pulses in its crystal container, an otherworldly blue-silver that matches the bond between Lyra and me. Mother moves with practiced grace, arranging ceremonial objects in precise patterns while Elara adds the final touches to the circle drawn on the polished stone floor."Positioning is critical," my mother explains, placing the vial of Karina's blood at the circle's northernmost point. "Bloodline connection to counter bloodline interference."I nod, absorbing her instructions while trying to ignore the mounting tension in my shoulders. Days of hard travel, ambushes, and emotional revelations have left me exhausted yet hyper-aware, especially of the two people standing beside me. Lyra's steady presence grounds me through our bond, while Kieran's proximity creates an entirely different but equally stabilizing effect."And Kieran's role?" I ask, drawing surprised g

Kieran "Let's worry about one crisis at a time," I suggest, shaking away the painful thoughts Alexander’s statement conjured. "First, the ritual to permanently stabilize your bond. Then we figure out the rest."Alexander nods agreement, though something troubled remains in his expression. "The ritual takes priority. Karina's warning about Vega's contingencies concerns me.""Secondary triggers that activate when temporary stabilization begins to fail," Lyra recalls grimly. "Designed to accelerate the unraveling of our bond and create psychological effects.""Like what?" I ask, my healer's curiosity mixing with personal concern."Heightened negative emotions," she explains. "Jealousy, suspicion, possessiveness."Understanding dawns with chilling implications. "Emotions that would drive you apart rather than bringing you together.""Exactly." Alexander's hand finds Lyra's, the bond between them pulsing visibly with silver light. "Vega designed her spell to ensure that even temporary sol

Kieran Alexander's gaze moves between Tessa and me, his quick mind clearly piecing together the unspoken context."Tessa and her companions probably need water for their horses," he says smoothly, diplomatic training kicking in. "I'll show them to the river."His intervention gives me momentary reprieve as he leads Tessa's companions toward the ford, though Tessa herself remains, her expression turning more serious as she studies Lyra."I didn't realize you'd be with him," she says, a genuine apology in her voice. "When I left your community, they said you'd chosen to remain at the palace.""I did," Lyra confirms. "We're returning from a diplomatic mission to a northern settlement." The careful neutrality in her voice makes my chest tighten.Tessa's gaze shifts to me. "Diplomatic mission with the prince himself? You've moved up in the world, healer."There's no malice in her observation, just genuine surprise and perhaps a touch of admiration. Before I can respond, she continues with

KieranI wake before the others, early morning light filtering through cracks in the cabin's aging walls. For a moment, I'm disoriented—the weight of someone's hand in mine, the unfamiliar yet comfortable closeness of bodies nearby. Then memory rushes back. Last night. The conversation. The kisses.Holy shit.I kissed the prince. And Lyra. And they kissed each other while I watched, and somehow it wasn't weird but actually kind of amazing and—I take a deep breath, forcing my racing thoughts to slow. This is uncharted territory for all of us. One night of tentative exploration doesn't magically resolve the complications waiting outside this temporary sanctuary. Court politics, royal succession, traditional expectations—none of those disappeared just because something unexpected and beautiful happened in an abandoned cabin.Carefully extracting myself from our tangle of limbs, I slip outside to check on the horses and scan for any signs of pursuit. The morning air carries the bite of a

LyraThe cabin interior is exactly as Kieran described—solidly built with a single door and two small windows, though the roof has indeed seen better days. A rudimentary fireplace occupies one wall, with simple sleeping platforms built into another. Dust covers everything, but the space is otherwise sound."We shouldn't risk a fire," Alexander decides after examining the chimney. "Smoke would give away our position.""We have cold rations," I point out, "and enough blankets to stay warm."Kieran checks the cabin's single water barrel, finding it partially filled with relatively fresh rainwater. "Roof leaks, but at least it's useful," he observes wryly.We settle in for an unexpected night of close confinement, securing the door and windows as best we can before darkness falls completely. Our horses, sheltered in the lean-to, occasionally nicker softly as they rest from the day's hard ride.The cabin's interior grows increasingly intimate as night deepens outside. Without a fire, we re

LyraMorning light filters through the trees as we break camp, the easy rhythm we've developed making everything flow without much discussion. Alexander packs the horses with methodical care while Kieran ensures our fire is completely extinguished. I find myself watching them both, struck by how natural this feels."What?" Alexander asks, catching my stare."Nothing," I reply, then reconsider. "Actually, I was just thinking how weirdly normal this feels. The three of us."His hands pause briefly on a saddlebag strap. "Yeah. It is weird.""Good weird or bad weird?" Kieran asks, joining the conversation as he shoulders his pack.Alexander and I exchange a glance. "Good weird," we say almost simultaneously.Kieran's smile is small but genuine. "Good. I was thinking the same thing."And just like that, we've acknowledged something that's been building for days. Not a full discussion yet—there's too much ground to cover for a quick morning conversation—but a start. A door cracked open that
