The Lycan King's Secret Triplets Chapter 75: The Message
ValerieMy hands shook as I broke the wax seal. Dimitri watched over my shoulder as I pulled the contents free.A single photograph slid out first. My breath caught painfully in my throat at the sight of it. Jax, bound at the wrists, a strip of fabric tied across his mouth. His eyes were wide with fear despite the defiant set of his small jaw."Jax," I whispered.Beneath the photograph, a folded note waited. The handwriting was elegant and precise. Unmistakably Elara's.I unfolded it slowly, my eyes scanning the words as Dimitri read over my shoulder.Come alone to the ancestral Obsidian Peak by midnight, or the boy dies.The note ended there, there was no further explanation, no additional demands. Only the stark, simple threat hanging in the air between us."Midnight," I said, glancing at the clock on the wall. "That's less than six hours from now.""Valerie…""I have to go.""Absolutely not," Dimitri said immediately. His voice was hard. "This is exactly the trap it appears to be."

ValerieThe drive back to the villa felt endless. My hands gripped the armrest so tightly my knuckles had gone white. Dimitri sat beside me, still visibly weakened from the curse's earlier assault but refusing to remain behind despite my protests."They're going to be fine," Dimitri said, though his own voice carried little conviction."You don't know that.""I have to believe it.""I don't want to believe anything. I want to know they're safe.""We'll be there in ten minutes.""Ten minutes is too long."He reached for my hand, prying it gently from the armrest and holding it in his own. "Valerie. Look at me."I turned my head, my eyes meeting his."We will get there. We will find them. And whoever did this will answer for it. I promise you that.""You can't promise that.""I can. And I will."I pulled my hand free and turned back toward the window, watching the city blur past as the car sped through the streets. My mind raced through every possibility, every scenario, every worst-cas

ValerieThe guards carried Dimitri into a private corridor just off the main chamber. His body convulsed slightly. The black veins had now spread across nearly the entirety of his throat and jaw."Get him somewhere quiet," I said, pushing through the guards to reach his side. "And someone finds out what's happening to him. Now.""My lady," one of the guards said, "the healers are already…..""I don't need the healers. I need everyone else to step back."They hesitated, glancing toward each other uncertainly. Something in my tone finally convinced them to comply. They cleared the narrow corridor until only Dimitri and I remained."Valerie," Dimitri gasped. His eyes were still edged with the same unnatural black that had consumed him during his worst episodes."I'm here.""It hurts," he said, his voice barely recognizable. "Worse than before. Something's wrong."I knelt beside him. I took his face gently between my hands, forcing him to meet my eyes despite the pain clearly radiating th

ElaraThe council chamber remained in chaos long after Nadia's revelation. Elders shouted demands for further investigation. Others already whispered about the implications for succession and power that Valerie's bloodline now represented.I pulled Rogers aside the moment I could manage it. My voice was low with barely controlled fury."Your prophecy was a lie.""It was an interpretation," Rogers said stiffly. "One that served the council's interests.""It served your interests," I hissed. "You knew all along the ritual didn't require her death, didn't you?""The details matter little now," Rogers said, glancing nervously toward the assembled council still deliberating loudly nearby. "What matters is that our window is rapidly closing. If the council formally recognizes her bloodline, and those children as legitimate heirs, everything we've worked toward collapses entirely.""Then what do you propose?""We accelerate the final phase," Rogers said. "I've been weakening Dimitri's suppre

NadiaI stepped forward the moment the golden flames finally began to settle. The ancient scrolls I had carried carefully wrapped beneath my cloak were now clutched tightly in my hands."Council members," I said, my voice carrying clearly through the stunned silence still gripping the chamber. "What you have just witnessed confirms something I have suspected since the very night Valerie first arrived at this Citadel.""Nadia," Elder Rogers said sharply, rising from his seat with his hands raised. "This is not the appropriate moment for theories.""This is precisely the appropriate moment," I said, unrolling the first scroll carefully. The ancient parchment was brittle with age, and I handled it with the care it deserved. "These records date back over a thousand years, chronicling the bloodline of the Original Sun-Luna Queen. The first and only ruler capable of purifying the Silver-Vein Curse permanently."Murmurs spread through the assembled elders as I continued. Several leaned forwa

ValerieThe passage leading down into the sacred caverns grew colder with every step. Torchlight flickered against ancient stone walls carved with symbols older than any written record I had encountered in the wolf world."You don't have to do this," Dimitri said quietly beside me. His hand found mine as we descended further into the mountain's depths."I don't have a choice.""There's always a choice.""Not one that doesn't end with the entire council believing I'm hiding something," I said. "I need this over with, Dimitri. One way or another.""You don't owe them anything.""I owe them proof that I'm not the threat they think I am.""You don't owe them that either."I stopped walking and turned to face him. The torchlight cast strange shadows across his features, but his expression was clear. Worry. Anger. Fear."Then what do you suggest?" I asked, pulling my hand from his. "That I run again? That I hide in the human world while the council tears apart everything I've built?""I'm n
