The Lycan Twins Runaway Mate CHAPTER 23i: THE ART OF THE MASK
The women exchanged uncertain looks.“Come on,” I urged, trying to keep the eagerness out of my voice. “You don’t start a discussion and stop halfway,” I said, pouting dramatically. “It’s just mean.”Finally, one sighed. “Miss Bree kind of made you sound… difficult.”“How difficult?” I asked curiously.“Stuck up,” one admitted, wincing.“And kind of a gold digger,” a third muttered, giving me an apologetic look. "That you didn't care about the pack myths or our traditions as a young, reckless human."Interesting. I thought to myself. So, the smear campaign had been going on long
The Lycan Twins Runaway Mate CHAPTER 23: THE ART OF THE MASK
Keren’s POV“She’s unstable enough already.” The words had been echoing in my head since I heard them hours ago.The way Bree had said it bothered me the most. She hadn’t been angry or irritated. She sounded calculating.I lay in bed, staring ahead at the orange glow of my bedroom, feeling like everything was finally clicking together in my head.They were trying to make me look unstable.Every single outburst I’d had since returning to the pack flashed through my mind one after the other. I had walked straight into their trap.“Idiot,” I muttered to myself, sitting up.My original plan had been smart; come back calm. Smile and blend in.Instead, the moment emotions got involved, I lost control.I walked to Maverick’s room, where he was asleep, sprawled across the bed like he owned the world.My chest softened immediately.Fabian had been right.This place was dangerous, but the outside world was worse for a child like Maverick.If he had thrown a human child outside the way he threw
The Lycan Twins Runaway Mate CHAPTER 15i: THE ARCHITECT OF CHAOS II
Ford’s head snapped toward her, his eyes wide with surprise at her blatant rudeness.Just as he was opening his mouth to say something, I let out a soft, melodic laugh that didn't reach my eyes."Wow. Is that how you talk to your Luna, Tanya?" I said smoothly. "Have you forgotten your manners along with your dignity?"Tanya’s eyes narrowed, her face flushing with anger. Then gave me a slight, mocking bow. "My apologies, Luna," she sneered. "I didn't see you there in the shadows."She started to rise, but I took a step toward her, my presence cold and absolute. "Did I ask you to stand?"Tanya froze halfway up, her eyes darting to Ford for help. But Ford was too busy staring at me, his mouth slightly agape.The silence stretched until Tanya, realizing no one was coming to her rescue, sank back into a deep, submissive bow."Keren," Ford said, his voice low as he reached out to touch my arm. "Let it go," he urged. "She said she didn't know you were standing there, and she’s apologized."I
The Lycan Twins Runaway Mate CHAPTER 22: THE GHOST HUNT
Keren’s POV“…I’m telling you, you’re doing too much—”“At least I’m doing something, unlike you—”“Enough.” I snapped, getting tired of their childish squabbling. Ford and Fabian froze mid-argument, their attention snapping toward me at the exact same time. My gaze was fixed past them. My entire had narrowed on the swing of a blonde ponytail and the familiar, feline grace of a woman who haunted every nightmare I’d had for half a decade.Ford frowned slightly. “Keren what are you looking at?”Fabian followed my line of sight, his brows knitting together. “What is it?”“That’s her,” I whispered, more to myself than to them.“Keren?” Ford’s voice sharpened. “Who—”“I’ll be back,” I cut in quickly, already stepping away.Both of them straightened.“Back?” Fabian echoed. “Where are you going?”“Carry on,” I said, waving them off like they were nothing more than a minor inconvenience. “I want to check something out.”I heard someone call my name behind me but I didn’t turn.If I did, I w
The Lycan Twins Runaway Mate CHAPTER 21: STRATEGY
Keren’s POVThe 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 Ford wanted to play with my emotions, I would show him exactly how much of a strategist I had become. I would overcompensate. I would bury the "soft" version of Keren so deep she’d never find the surface again.The twins arrived at my suite together to take Maverick to his first private training session. Ford looked at me with a hopeful, tentative light in his eyes, likely thinking our moment at the lake had changed the game. I didn't even look at him."Fabian," I said, my voice warm and laced w
The Lycan Twins Runaway Mate CHAPTER 20: SUNSET AT THE LAKE
Keren’s POVThe lake at the edge of the Silver Moon estate was the only place where the air felt thin enough to breathe. It was a mirror of dark, glacial water surrounded by towering pines that whispered in the mountain breeze. I sat on a flat, sun-warmed rock, my knees pulled to my chest, watching Maverick.He was a few yards away, crouching in the tall grass at the water’s edge. He wasn't growling or pushing anyone today. He was just a boy, his tongue poked out in concentration as he tried to track something moving through the reeds. For a few minutes, I allowed myself to forget the "Soul Seed," the Alpha Prime gene, and the shadow of Bree hanging over my neck.Then, the air changed.The scent of spice and rain-soaked earth hit me before I heard the snap of a twig. My body reacted before my brain did. A hum of electricity sparked in my marrow, a magnetic pull that made my skin feel too tight for my bones.I tensed, my hand instinctively reaching for the silver blade hidden in the fo
