The cloak became part of me after that night.

I wore it everywhere, even when I was alone in my room, because the weight of it was comforting and the warmth of it was steady and the smell of it reminded me that someone in this castle wanted me alive.

I did not know what to do with that knowledge, but I held onto it anyway, like a drowning man holding onto a piece of driftwood in a stormy sea.

The first time I walked through the halls wearing the cloak, the nobles stared.

They had always stared,

  • The Lycan king Forbidden Mate   Chapter 54: The proof pt 2

    Sergio's POVWhen Leandro saw me, his eyes immediately softened. "Sergio," he called. His voice was hoarse."I need to show you something," I said.He stepped aside, and I walked into his chambers. The room was dark, and the fire had burned low, and the air was cold. The bed was unmade, and there were papers scattered across the desk, and the tray of food on the table was untouched.I wanted to ask why everywhere was the way it is, but this was not the time. That could wait a little bit more.I turned to face him, and I pulled the coin out of my pocket, and I held it out to him."Ramiro has been stealing from you," I said. "He has stolen gold, weapons, and food. I believe that he has been preparing for a rebellion for months. Or maybe longer."Leandro stared at the coin, and his face went cold. His jaw tightened, and his hands curle

  • The Lycan king Forbidden Mate   Chapter 53: The proof pt 1

    Sergio's POVThe night Leandro came back to me, we did not talk much more. He stayed in my room, and I held him until his shaking stopped, and neither of us mentioned the week of silence that had passed between us. In the morning, he was still there, and I knew that he was not going to hide anymore.But the castle did not stop turning just because we had found our way back to each other. The whispers in the corridors did not stop, the nobles did not stop plotting, and Ramiro did not stop moving pieces on a board that I was only beginning to understand.I had learned a lot in that week of silence. I had learned to trust my instincts, I had learned to see what others were trying to hide, and I had learned that Leandro was not the only one who needed to fight for his crown.I had been watching, and I had been listening, and I had been learning.And I had finally found what I was looking for.I had been watching for weeks, and I had learned to trust the patterns of the servants who moved

  • The Lycan king Forbidden Mate   Chapter 52: The shame

    Sergio's POVI woke up alone the morning after Leandro had held me in the corner of my room. The space beside me was cold, and the blankets were undisturbed, and I knew before I opened my eyes that he was gone.I sat up slowly, and I looked around the room. The fire had burned low, and the shadows were long, and the only sound was the wind howling outside the window.Then I saw the note.It was on the table beside the bed, folded in half, and his handwriting was messy, and almost illegible, like he had written it in a hurry. I reached for it, and my fingers were shaking, and I unfolded it slowly.In the paper, there was one word. "Sorry."I read it once, then again. Then a third time, trying to find the hidden meaning, the secret message, and the explanation that he had not been able to give me in person.But there was nothing. Just ink on paper, and just a word that could have meant anything or nothing.I touched the bruises on my shoulders where his hands had gripped me. They did no

  • The Lycan king Forbidden Mate   Chapter 51: Attack as intimacy

    Sergio's POVHe kissed me hard, too hard, and I saw the monster I had been waiting for.I was sitting at my desk, staring at the list of names I had written, when I heard the footsteps in the hallway. They were heavy, uneven, and not the steady rhythm of the guards.My heart began to pound."I knew that sound, that heavy uneven gait, because I had heard it before on the nights when Leandro could not sleep, when the weight of the crown pressed down on him so heavily that he would wander the halls until dawn," I said to myself, with my hands gripping the edge of the desk. "But this was different, this was heavier, and more urgent, and I knew before he even entered that something terrible had happened."Next, the door burst open, and Leandro stood there with his golden eyes wild and his chest heaving. His shirt was torn, and there was blood on his hands, blood on his face, and blood on the front of his shirt. It was not his blood. I could see that now. But the sight of it made my stomach

    Sergio’s POVThe second noble was quiet for a moment, then he looked up."And what about the human? The king will not let him go." the second noble said.The first noble laughed. "The human is the key, and Ramiro will use him to break the king. Once the king is broken, the human will be discarded, because he is nothing more than a tool."I felt my hands curl into fists at my sides when I heard the words “A tool.” That was all I was to them, and that was all I had ever been."Then we move quickly," the second noble said. "Before the king realizes what is happening."I heard their footsteps fade down the corridor, and I let out a breath I had not realized I was holding. My hands were shaking, and my heart was pounding, but I had learned something important.Ramiro was planning to use me to break L

  • The Lycan king Forbidden Mate   Chapter 49: The watcher

    Sergio's POVElara's words stayed with me long after I left her chambers that night. I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, and I turned them over and over in my mind like stones in my palm. "Start by watching, start by listening, and pay attention to the people around him."I thought about Ramiro, sitting in his chambers, plotting his next move. I thought about Leandro, on his throne, blind to all the danger closing in around him. And I thought about myself, sitting in the shadows, invisible to everyone who walked past.I had spent my whole life being invisible. I had made myself small, quiet, and unnoticeable. It had been my shield, my armor, and my way of surviving.But now I realized that invisibility was not just a shield, it was also a weapon.I could not sleep that night, so I walked through the halls, with my bare feet silent on the cold stone floor. The castle was quiet at this hour, and the only sounds were the distant howl of the wind and the soft crackle of the torches bur

    Sergio's POVThe morning after Leandro stayed in my room, I woke to find him gone.The space beside me was still warm, and the indent of his body was still pressed into the mattress, and I could smell him on the pillows, like snow and smoke and something wild that I was starting to recognize. I la

    I woke the morning after my meeting with Ramiro, and the first thing I saw was the tray of food on the table, still untouched from the day before.The fire had burned low while I slept, and the room was cold enough that I could see my own breath hanging in the air. My back ached from pressing again

    The nobles smiled at me whenever I walked through the halls of the Ice Castle, and that was how I knew they wanted me dead, because I had learned to read smiles a long time ago, back when I was a child who needed to know whether the person approaching him was going to hurt him or just walk past.My

    Three days passed while I sat in that room with the fire burning and the snow falling outside the window, and Leandro did not come near me, did not send word to me,and did not give any sign that he remembered I existed at all.I counted the hours as the sun rose and set behind the clouds that never
