last update Veröffentlichungsdatum: 05.05.2026 23:37:36

Keren’s POV

The morning after the lake was a fever dream I couldn't sweat out. Every time I closed my eyes, I felt the phantom heat of Ford’s breath on my lips and heard the desperate, broken honesty in his voice. I was furious with myself. I had spent five years building a fortress of ice, only to let it start melting because of a few well-timed apologies and a sunset.

I was weak. And in this pack, weakness was a death sentence.

By the time the sun hit the courtyard, I had made a decision. If

  • The Lycan Twins Runaway Mate   CHAPTER 69: THE BLADE’S DISCIPLINE

    Fabian’s POVLola was sitting on the floor in a corner of the cell. Her wavy hair falling over her face as she curled her tiny frame into a ball, her shoulders shaking violently as she wept. She looked very fragile and scared, which was probably the reason why the guards hadn’t bound her in any way. She was playing the perfect act.The moment I stopped in front of her, she snapped her head up, her eyes wide and glistening with pools of thick, pathetic tears.“Alpha,” she whispered, her voice cracking with a perfect display of terrified innocence. "I don't understand why the warriors dragged me down here! I didn't do anything wrong!”She flinched, whimpering loudly as other guards shut the door with a heavy clang as they came in behind me. She was very convincing. Too bad I wasn’t buying it.I folded my arms and stared down at her. The silence stretched with no one saying anything for a few long seconds.Most people broke under silence or at least became nervous, which led to them

  • The Lycan Twins Runaway Mate   CHAPTER 67: THINGS WE PROTECT

    Keren’s POV“Where is Mavy?” Fabian said, pausing at the door and turning to look at me. My heart jolted. “With Irene and my other guards,” I replied, my brows furrowing. “Why?”“I need both of you with Ford,” He replied, still looking at me as he gestured to Quinn to go ahead. Then he extended his hand to me for me to join him. “Come on, let’s get moving. I have linked Steve to go get him.”When we got outside, the sky was beginning to blur with a thick, gray overcast, casting dark shadows across the compound that only made the sight of the guards moving around the compound feel more ominous.Fabian’s jaw tightened. “You stay with Ford in his office until we’ve gotten her.”“I can just stay with Irene and—”"Lola fled because she probably heard the cook had been caught. She’s still somewhere on these premises, and we don’t know what else she’s planning," he cut in, his voice a low, gravelly rumble that left zero room for argument. "We don't know who else is part of this network, or

  • The Lycan Twins Runaway Mate   CHAPTER 67: THE MISSING COURIER Keren’s POV

    The usual chatter that usually filled the pack was completely dead. Pack members walked with their heads down, their eyes darting toward the stone arches where groups of armed territory guards stood at rigid attention. Everyone was painfully aware of the fact that something was wrong. The announcement of the lockdown last night had thrown a suffocating sheet of anxiety over everyone. And even though no search had been carried out in the apartments yet, the whole pack was waiting and anticipating the guards at their doors. At least a advantage of the hierarchical society has finally shown. In a normal society, people would have demanded to know what was going on and why their leaders ordered a curfew. But here, nobody dared to ask out loud. The alphas orders were final and unquestionable…. except by the elders. "Luna Keren," Steve called out, drawing closer to me. He gave me a short, respectful bow, his posture tight. "Alpha Fabian is requesting your presence. All courie

  • The Lycan Twins Runaway Mate   CHAPTER 66: THE OPENING SALVO

    Keren’s POV“I still can’t believe it.”I laughed softly as Irene said the exact same thing for what had to be the tenth time since they’d left the meeting hall.Now that the meeting was over and the tension had faded, Irene looked happier than I’d seen her in years. She was practically bouncing as she walked.“It’s like I’m dreaming. Do you understand how impossible this is?” she said excitedly, turning to me as we walked and skipping backwards. “Do you know how many years I’ve worked under that man?”“Too many?”“Exactly!” She exclaimed, throwing her hands into the air dramatically. “That old fossil was planning to die in that office. He was never going to willingly give up his authority for someone like me. Never."I looked at my best friend and then at my son, who was skipping ahead of us, loudly humming a nursery rhyme. I hadn’t felt this happy and satisfied in a long time.I pulled Maverick closer to my side as we walked up the stairs to the pack’s common dining hall. "Was he re

  • The Lycan Twins Runaway Mate   CHAPTER 65: THE SHOCK

    “He is ready for you, sir,” Marcus said from the doorway of my office in the military wing.“Finally, some excitement,” I muttered, clapping my hands once as I got to my feet. “It’s time to get to work.”Marcus offered me a bow as I walked past him, descending into the cold, damp air of the underground holding cells.The fired cook was sitting on a metal chair inside an interrogation cell, his hands securely shackled with silver cuffs. He looked up when the iron door screeched as I opened it, violently flinching as I slammed it shut behind me.His eyes widened with instinctual terror as he looked up at me. "Alpha Fabian?" He stammered, his voice trembling as he tried to pull back against his chains. "I... they told me Alpha Ford wanted to see me. I don't understand why they suddenly dragged me down here!” He yelled, spittle flying from his mouth. “First, the Luna’s personal head guard dismissed me from the villa kitchen without a single explanation, now this."I smirked. “You don’t

  • The Lycan Twins Runaway Mate   CHAPTER 64: TONGUES WAGGING

    Fabian’s POV“Why did you lie to her?” I repeated under my breath as I stormed through the shaded corridors of the central compound that led to the training grounds. “I can’t believe he had the guts to ask me that dumbass question.”I could sense the unease of my two guards escorting me. They were nervous about my bad mood but I couldn’t give two shits right now.My jaw was clenched so tight the muscles in my neck were pulsing with anger as my combat boots slammed against the granite flooring. ‘What the fuck had he even been expecting te outcome to be?’ I thought bitterly, my fists clenching at my sides as I marched past the security checkpoints. ‘Did he truly believe he could just look Keren in the eyes, confess that he cheated on her five years ago, and she would just smile and forgive him on the spot?’“He didn’t even think of the fact that there were others in the room,” I hissed out loud under my breath. “Sir?” one of my guards called out, his voice hesitant. “Did you say somet

    Ford’s POVThe air inside my office was crisp, the scent of cedar and old paper providing a small bit of grounding as I sat behind my desk. I let out a sigh and closed my eyes, allowing myself a second of reprieve before clicking the intercom on my table. “Helen,” I called out to my PA. “Inform h
