The smell of smoke clung to everything.

It seeped into the stone walls, into my hair and clothes, into my lungs until every breath tasted like burned earth and iron. Dawn crept slowly over the fortress, pale and hesitant, as if even the sun was unsure whether it was welcome after the bloodshed of the night before.

The courtyard was a ruin.

Broken weapons littered the ground, splintered arrows and twisted spears half-buried in scorched earth. Dark stains marked where bodies had fallen—some dragg

  • The Lycan king's Secret Triplets: I Ran From My Mate and Hid   Chapter 66: The Lie Behind the Silver Eyes

    “The silver one is lying, too.”The words echoed inside Aria's mind.She stared down at her youngest son, her heart pounding so violently that she could barely hear the chaos surrounding her. The baby's silver eyes remained fixed on hers, but there was something different about them now.Something aware.Something afraid.“What do you mean?” she whispered.The baby opened his mouth, but no ordinary infant's cry emerged.He does not want to save us, Mother. He wants to become us.Aria went cold.Across the shattered chamber, the silver creature staggered backward. Its enormous body flickered, revealing glimpses of something darker beneath its glowing exterior.“Do not listen to it,” the creature warned.Ronan immediately stepped beside Aria.“What did the child say?”Aria looked at him, struggling to find the words.“He says the silver creature is lying.”Malrik, who had been examining the ancient markings near the broken wall, suddenly lifted his head.“What?”“The baby says the creat

  • The Lycan king's Secret Triplets: I Ran From My Mate and Hid    Chapter 65: The Mother Who Was Never Meant to Exist

    Darkness swallowed everything.Aria could hear Ronan shouting her name, but his voice sounded distant, as though an entire world had opened between them. She clutched her triplets against her chest, desperately trying to protect their tiny bodies as the mountain shook around them.A sharp pain pierced her forehead.Then the darkness began to speak.Welcome home, Mother.Aria gasped.“I'm not your mother!”Her words echoed into the endless blackness.A low laugh answered her.Not mine alone.Suddenly, the ground beneath her feet disappeared.Aria fell.She screamed, tightening her arms around her children, but before she could hit anything, a silver light surrounded them. It formed a protective sphere, suspending them in the darkness.For a moment, everything became quiet.Then three tiny heartbeats sounded around her.Her children were alive.Aria pressed kisses against their foreheads, tears slipping down her cheeks.“It's okay,” she whispered, even though she had no idea whether it

  • The Lycan king's Secret Triplets: I Ran From My Mate and Hid   Chapter 64: The Secret Beneath the Silver Light

    The ancient creature stopped moving.For several seconds, the only sound inside the chamber was the distant rumble of the mountain and the ragged breathing of the wolves who had survived its awakening.Ronan stood between the creature and his family, his silver sword raised. Blood trickled down his arm, staining the sleeve of his black shirt, but he refused to retreat.“You said you wanted to end suffering,” he repeated. “But you cannot create peace by taking away everyone's freedom.”The enormous creature tilted its head. Its silver eyes glowed with a strange, almost human sadness.“Freedom,” it whispered. “Such a fragile word.”“It means nothing if people cannot choose their own lives.”“And what has choice given you, King Ronan? Enemies who want your mate dead? A kingdom divided by fear? Children who will never know peace?”Ronan's expression hardened.“Those are my burdens to carry. Not yours to solve by destroying everyone else.”For the first time, the creature said nothing.Ari

  • The Lycan king's Secret Triplets: I Ran From My Mate and Hid   CHAPTER SIXTY-THREE: The Thing Rising

    The word echoed through the chamber. “No.” Small. Simple. But powerful enough to shake the mountain itself. The moment the child refused, the silver abyss erupted violently. The connected wolves cried out as energy burst upward in massive waves, tearing cracks through the ancient chamber walls. Stone collapsed from above while the silver veins pulsing through the mountain brightened to blinding intensity. Ronan pulled Aria against him instantly, shielding her body with his own as debris rained around them. “Move!” Marcus shouted. The ground beneath them lurched violently. Garrick barely kept his footing as another shockwave exploded upward from the abyss. “That thing’s coming!” No one needed confirmation anymore. They could feel it. The enormous presence rising from below. Not fast. Not aggressively. Inevitably. Aria clutched her stomach sharply as the third triplet surged again. Fear flooded through her. Not her fear. The child’s. And beneath it— Resistance. T

  • The Lycan king's Secret Triplets: I Ran From My Mate and Hid   CHAPTER SIXTY-TWO: The Part That Refused

    Silence consumed the chamber after the vision faded.Even the mountain seemed to pause.Aria remained in Ronan’s arms, trembling slightly as fragments of impossible memories continued echoing through her mind.Not hers.Never hers.But somehow connected to the child growing inside her.The third triplet pulsed softly now.Not distressed.Calm.Almost relieved.Ronan held her tighter.“What did you see?” he asked quietly.Aria swallowed hard.Because saying it aloud would make it real.Still—She answered.“The child…” Her voice shook slightly. “It isn’t just connected to the entity.”Marcus frowned.“Then what is it?”Aria slowly lifted her eyes toward the silver abyss below.“It’s connected to what the entity used to be.”The chamber went still.Malrik’s expression darkened immediately.“No…”Aria nodded faintly.“When it split itself apart… one part refused.”Ronan’s body stiffened.“Refused what?”Aria’s chest tightened painfully.“To become whole again.”Silence hit harder than an

  • The Lycan king's Secret Triplets: I Ran From My Mate and Hid   CHAPTER SIXTY-ONE: The Song Before Separation

    The mountain trembled beneath them.Dust rained from the ceiling while silver light climbed higher through the massive opening in the earth, illuminating the ancient chamber in cold, unnatural waves.No one moved.No one breathed.Because the voice had spoken directly to the child.Not Aria.Not the entity.The child.Ronan’s arm tightened protectively around her instantly.His entire body had gone rigid beneath the force of his fury.“You do not speak to my child,” he growled into the darkness.The voice answered softly.“But it remembers me.”The silver light pulsed brighter.The connected wolves lowered their heads almost reverently as the mountain continued shaking around them.Marcus stepped closer to Garrick, keeping his claws extended.“I officially hate this place.”Garrick didn’t answer.Because his eyes remained fixed on Aria.Or more specifically—On the faint silver-gold glow beginning to pulse beneath her skin.The third triplet stirred violently now.Not painfully.Emoti

  • The Lycan king's Secret Triplets: I Ran From My Mate and Hid   CHAPTER SIX You Cannot Escape Fate

    I awoke to the cold dawn creeping through the fortress walls, the gray light washing over the stone floor like liquid iron. My side throbbed with the lingering pain of yesterday’s battle, but my body’s exhaustion was nothing compared to the storm raging inside me.I had tried—tried to tell myself t

  • The Lycan king's Secret Triplets: I Ran From My Mate and Hid   CHAPTER FIVE The Bond That Refused to Break

    The fortress was silent once more, but silence no longer meant safety. The acrid scent of blood lingered in the air, sharp and metallic, mixing with the lingering scent of the forest drifting through the open windows. My hands shook uncontrollably, still slick with sweat and the residue of rogue bl

  • The Lycan king's Secret Triplets: I Ran From My Mate and Hid   CHAPTER TWO :Run Until the Night Breaks You

    The forest swallowed me whole.Branches tore at my dress as I ran, the once-soft fabric snagging and ripping against bark and thorns. My lungs burned, each breath sharp and ragged, but I didn’t slow down. I couldn’t. Every sound behind me—the snap of a twig, the rush of wind through leaves—felt lik

  • The Lycan king's Secret Triplets: I Ran From My Mate and Hid   CHAPTER ONE: The Night the Moon Turned Its Back on Me

    The moon was meant to bless me.That was what I had been told all my life—that on the night my mate claimed me, the Moon Goddess herself would watch from the heavens, smiling upon the bond that would tie two souls together forever. The moon was supposed to be gentle. Protective. Sacred.Yet as I st
