The Lycan King's Secret Heirs One Hundred and Fifty One
Daisy I didn't remember leaving the corridor.One moment I had been standing there, listening to the man I loved agree to marry another woman, and the next I was closing the bedroom door behind me with hands so steady they frightened me.The click of the lock echoed through the room and I leaned against the door and waited, nothing happened.I didn't shed any tears and no sobs clawed their way out of my chest. My heart still hurt, but it felt strangely distant, as though the pain belonged to someone else.Maybe I'd finally run out of tears, maybe there was simply nothing left to break or maybe I'd finally accepted my fate. I stared across the room until my eyes landed on the wardrobe. A few days ago I would have climbed into bed and cried until morning, but tonight, I walked to the wardrobe and opened it.The hinges gave a quiet groan as rows of beautiful dresses greeted me, each one chosen for dinners, ceremonies, and appearances I never truly wanted to attend.My fingers brushe
The Lycan King's Secret Heirs One Hundred and Fifty
Caspian The silence in my study was heavy, weighted with the scent of old paper, leather, and the quiet, dangerous hum of a trap being set.I leaned back in my chair, staring at the sealed letter on my desk. Professor Hawthorne had sent word earlier that morning through an encrypted courier. The final legal amendment regarding the betrothal contract’s loopholes was almost complete. It would render the mandatory agreement with Yvie’s family entirely null and void.Pairing that legal weapon with the chemical report proving Daisy and Octavian had been drugged would blow Lady Zara’s plans to dust. I had the poison report locked in my safe, but timing was everything. If I exposed the sabotage too early, whoever was in charge of it would scrub their tracks, destroy evidence, or push Zara into an immediate political counter-strike before the legal amendment was officially signed.I had to play the patient predator. I had to let them think they were winning, right up until the moment I s
The Lycan King's Secret Heirs One Hundred and Forty Nine
Daisy My feet moved, but I couldn't feel the stone beneath my shoes.I didn't remember walking back down the long, dimly lit corridor that led away from the balcony. I didn't remember descending the carpeted steps or stepping back through the high archway into the grand ballroom. All I knew was that the air inside was thick, suffocating, and reeking of expensive perfume and aged wine.The party was still going on. Laughter echoed off the gilded ceiling, glasses clinked as couples swayed to the slow, elegant sweep of the orchestra.It was utterly surreal and even more beautiful than when I'd left. The world had just ended on a cold stone balcony, yet here, nobody had even noticed the sky falling.I stood near the edge of the room, my body completely numb, digging my fingers so hard into my palms that it made crescents across my skin. For months, I had lived in this estate believing I was surrounded by complicated people, flawed people, people who cared about me in their own secr
The Lycan King's Secret Heirs One Hundred and Forty Eight
Daisy Fifteen minutes had never lasted so long.I stood alone in a corner in the sitting room, while the rest of the party went on with a glitch,the folded note clutched so tightly in my hand that the edges had begun to crease.Balcony. Fifteen minutes. — CI had read those words so many times they no longer looked real.My heart refused to settle and every possibility chased the next until I couldn't tell which frightened me more.Did he know? Had he finally discovered the truth? Was he going to apologize? Or was this his way of ending everything? Maybe he wanted to tell me, privately, that the engagement would go ahead. Maybe he wanted to ask me to leave quietly. Maybe he had seen me standing there while Yvie kissed him.The memory made my chest tighten all over again and I squeezed my eyes shut."No," I whispered to myself.Whatever happened tonight, I couldn't keep hiding anymore. Not after everything, not after the clinic and especially not after hearing my baby's heartbeat
The Lycan King's Secret Heirs One Hundred and Forty Seven
Daisy The music started before sunset.It was soft at first, drifting through the open windows like a warning I didn't want to hear. Violins, laughter and the distant clink of crystal carried through the estate until there was no pretending today was anything ordinary.A celebration, but not just any celebration.The celebration.I stood in front of the mirror while one of the maids fastened the last button on the back of my dress."You look lovely, Miss Daisy."I almost laughed.Lovely.There wasn't a single lovely thing about tonight. When she finished, I thanked her quietly and waited until the door closed behind her before looking at my reflection again.The woman staring back at me looked nothing like I felt.My smile was gone and the shadows beneath my eyes refused to disappear.One hand drifted unconsciously toward my stomach before I caught myself and lowered it again."We'll get through this," I whispered.Whether I believed it or not didn't matter anymore, I had to.The

Caspian .My hand slowly fell away from the door and it didn't help that every instinct I possessed screamed at me to burst into the room, to demand answers, to ask Daisy what Scarlet had done to leave that much fear in her voice.Instead, I forced myself to step backward. So I took one step backwards, then another and another, until I was far enough down the corridor that nobody inside the room could hear me breathing.Scarlet. She'd mentioned Scarlet, not lady Zara or Yvie. But Scarlet and that single name had become the center of Daisy's fear.I closed my eyes for one brief second.Something had changed while I was gone and when I finally opened them again, every piece of the last week began rearranging itself inside my mind.Scarlet had cleaned Octavian's study, she had been present after the incident and she had somehow known my trip had been productive.Now Daisy was terrified of her.None of those things proved guilt, but together, they formed a pattern, and patterns never lie
The Lycan King's Secret Heirs Three
Daisy's PovThe morning sun felt like a spotlight on my guilt. I woke up tangled in dark silk sheets. The heavy weight of an arm was draped across my waist. Caspian was still asleep, his chest rising and falling in a steady rhythm. In the daylight, the black ink creeping up his neck looked even mor
The Lycan King's Secret Heirs Ten
Daisy The doors opened slowly, and the sound alone was enough to make my stomach twist. Heavy wood dragged against polished floors, the echo stretching far too long, far too loud, like it was announcing something final.Like it was announcing me.Two guards stepped forward, one on each side, the
The Lycan King's Secret Heirs Five
Daisy The palace was in controlled chaos, and for the life of me, I didn't know what to think of it. Servants rushed through the corridors with bolts of black silk and silver threaded veils draped over their arms, while guards stood straighter when I passed, bowing low enough that their forehea

FourDaisy The clearing had gone so quiet I could hear my own pulse in my ears.“I want her.” Even in a million years,I never thought I'd hear those words,not from Nathan, and definitely not from the Greek god in human form; Caspian.His voice didn’t need to be loud. It carried anyway, low, contr
