The Lycan King’s Pawn Chapter Fourteen: Unstoppable Rage
Time stopped.The sound of clashing swords and roaring wolves faded into dead silence. I stared at the small, limp body lying motionless in the dark snow."Leo?" I whispered.No answer. His brown eyes were closed, and his chest wasn't moving. A terrible, dark smoke rose from the burn mark on his coat.Something inside me snapped.It wasn't fear. It wasn't pain. It was a cold, blinding rage that burned hotter than any fire.The ancient Shadow Queen tried to whisper in my mind again, but my rage was so overwhelming it completely crushed her voice into absolute nothingness. I didn't need her dark spirit to possess me. I took control of her magic myself.A massive pillar of pure, golden-purple fire erupted from my body, shattering the ice beneath my boots.The dark caster took a step back, his empty white eyes widening in genuine terror. "Impossible... An Omega cannot command that much raw power!""I am not just an Omega," I said. My voice didn't sound double-layered or demonic. It sounde
The Lycan King’s Pawn Chapter Thirteen: Battle For The Citadel
The horn blasted a second time, echoing off the icy peaks. Hundreds of dark soldiers poured down the mountainside like an avalanche of black iron and purple flame.Inside my mind, I was banging on a stone wall, screaming at the Shadow Queen. Get out! Leave my brother alone!Quiet, child, the Shadow Queen sneered in my thoughts. Watch how a real ruler takes a kingdom.My body floated an inch off the bloody snow, surrounded by a swirling aura of dark magic. I raised both arms toward the sky, and a beam of purple light shot straight into the clouds, shattering the remaining glass in the citadel’s highest towers.Kaelen didn't look at the army charging down the hill. His eyes were locked on me, full of heartbreak and fierce determination."Leo!" Kaelen barked without looking away from my glowing eyes. "Get inside the lower vaults! Now!""I'm not leaving my sister!" Leo cried out, clutching a sharp piece of stone from the broken pillar."She’s fighting in there, kid!" Kaelen shouted, his v
The Lycan King’s Pawn Chapter Twelve: The Dark Possession
The shockwave of golden and silver light faded, leaving the snow around us scorched black.The burning in my chest vanished instantly. Kaelen’s full Mating Claim had purged every drop of the shadow poison from my blood, leaving a bright, permanent gold mark on the left side of my neck.Kaelen pulled back, gasping for air. His eyes were wide with relief as he looked down at me. "Valeria... you're alive."He thought he had saved me. He had no idea what had just entered my mind.Deep inside my head, that smooth, cold voice chuckled. It was ancient, dark, and heavy with power.Such a handsome King, the voice whispered directly into my thoughts. Too bad he just handed you over to me.I tried to blink, but my body wouldn't move. My fingers twitched, but I wasn't the one controlling them. My eyes snapped open, and though I was staring right at Kaelen, I felt like a prisoner sitting in the dark back seat of my own mind.Kaelen froze, his smile dying instantly as he looked into my eyes.My eye
The Lycan King’s Pawn Chapter Eleven: The Ultimate Bargain
Kaelen’s head snapped up, his blue eyes burning with a rage so terrifying that even the air around us seemed to freeze."Hand it over, Lyra," he growled, his voice deep and lethal. "Or I will tear this castle apart with you inside it."Lyra didn't back down. She held the small silver vial higher, her thumb resting on the tiny cork top."One wrong move, Your Highness, and I drop it into the snow," she warned, taking a careful step backward. "The glass breaks, the poison consumes her, and your precious Pawn dies in your arms within two minutes."I choked on a breath, a terrible burning sensation spreading from my collarbone down toward my heart. The dark purple light under my skin was glowing brighter, fighting against the gold crescent moon mark. It felt like liquid fire in my veins."What do you want?" Kaelen demanded through gritted teeth. His heavy hands were still pressed against my bleeding chest, trying to force his own Alpha energy into my body to keep me alive."A simple trade,
The Lycan King’s Pawn Chapter Ten: The Shattered Citadel
The explosion rocked the mountainside, sending a wave of icy wind and stone dust over the clearing. The high glass windows of the West Wing were completely gone, replaced by thick, rolling purple smoke."Kaelen!" I screamed, turning toward the platform.The elders and Lady Lyra were screaming, scattering in chaos as debris rained down on the courtyard. But Kaelen didn't run. He stood at the edge of the stone wall, looking up at his burning fortress. His face was pure rage, his icy blue eyes practically glowing in the dark smoke."Drag her to the horses!" Marcus ordered his guards, grinning like a madman. "The Northern kingdom falls today!"Two heavy guards grabbed my arms, dragging me backward into the thick forest. The silver handcuffs burned into my skin like hot iron, making my head spin and my legs feel weak.I can't let them take me, I thought frantically, fighting against the guards' grip. If I leave now, Kaelen dies, and Marcus wins everything.I looked at my burning silver cuf
The Lycan King’s Pawn Chapter Nine: The Hostage Bargain
My whole body went completely numb.Leo was crying, his thin shoulders shaking under the heavy silver chains. A thin line of blood was already forming on his neck where Marcus pressed the silver blade."Let him go, Marcus!" I screamed, taking a desperate step forward."Stay right there, Valeria!" Marcus growled, digging the blade just a tiny bit deeper. Leo gasped in pain. "Take one more step and I’ll end him right now."On the high stone platform, King Kaelen’s eyes turned a lethal, glowing blue. He stepped to the edge, his massive Alpha power sweeping over the clearing like a freezing blizzard."You are standing on my land, Marcus," Kaelen said, his deep voice heavy with danger. "You execute a boy on my border, and my entire army will hunt your pack until not one of you is left breathing."Marcus sneered, looking up at the King without a trace of fear. "I don't care about your army, Kaelen! She stole my pack's honor. I want my criminal back. Give me Valeria, or the boy dies.""No!"
