The Lycan king's Unwanted Luna Chapter 84:The Price of the Truth
Kael's POVThe council summons arrived before I'd finished dressing. Before I could reach the door, someone knocked."Your Majesty. Prince Elias.""Tell him I'll see him after the council.""He said it concerns your father."I looked back at the summons in my hand. "Send him in."Elias entered, his expression more serious than I'd seen since Moonfall."I remembered something," he said."About the east tower?"He shook his head. "About the seal.""What seal?""I'll explain properly before you meet the houses. I just needed you to know it's coming."He left before I could press him further, and I read through the summons with his words sitting unresolved beside everything else demanding my attention.The assembly had added a formal demand of its own. Seraphina must answer questions about her Ashbourne bloodline before the full assembly."If she has nothing to hide," the adviser said, "why object to the questions?""Because you're not asking questions. You're deciding what answers you're
The Lycan king's Unwanted Luna Chapter 83: The Fifth Alpha
Seraphina's POV"You don't have to see him," Kael said. "I don't trust him.""Why?""He's been withholding information since the moment we arrived.""Then let him give some of it to me instead of you." I met his eyes. "Everyone keeps talking about me when I'm not in the room."Kael didn't argue further, though I could see he wanted to. "I'll be nearby.""I know."The receiving room where the fifth Alpha waited sat just off the council hall, plain and unremarkable, nothing hidden or theatrical about it. He didn't bow. He studied my face for several seconds, as though comparing it to a memory."Why did you ask to see me?" I said."Because you're about to be asked a question no one has asked correctly in twenty-four years.""What question?""Not whether you are an Ashbourne." He paused. "Whether the Ashbournes were ever supposed to disappear."He told me the official version first, the one I'd already gathered in pieces. The bloodline had been declared too dangerous to remain near the th
The Lycan king's Unwanted Luna Chapter 82: The Conversation He Has No Right to Ask For
Seraphina's POVI was still turning the adviser's words over when I heard footsteps behind me. I knew who it was before he spoke."Seraphina."I stopped, but didn't turn immediately. There had been a time when his voice alone would have unraveled me. Now I only weighed whether he was worth the effort of turning around at all."What do you want?" I asked, finally facing him."I know I have no right to ask for your time.""Then don't."He struggled with that a moment longer than I expected. "I was wrong about you.""You weren't wrong about me," I said. "You simply never bothered to know me."He absorbed that without flinching, which surprised me more than an argument would have. "There are things you should know. About my family. About your mother.""What things?""My father knew Evelyne. There were people inside the royal structure who wanted her found, and my grandfather helped hide her before he was forced to give her up.""Why are you telling me this?"He hesitated, and I watched hi
The Lycan king's Unwanted Luna Chapter 81: A Place at the Table
Seraphina's POVThe attendant kept her eyes down as she helped me with the last clasp of my dress that morning."They're still arguing," she said, before she seemed to realize she'd spoken aloud.I turned toward her. "About me?"Her hands stopped. "I shouldn't have said anything."She said nothing further, but it was enough to carry with me into the chamber, where the map of the northern territories had already been unrolled across the long table by the time Kael led me to my seat.The dispute concerned patrol routes and where to concentrate the kingdom's defenses now that Moonfall had proven the northern reaches weren't as secure as everyone assumed. One Alpha glanced my way, clearly expecting nothing from me beyond my presence.I opened my mouth, then closed it again. He was already turning back to the map.Then something caught my eye. A route near the eastern pass, thin and unremarkable against the thicker lines marking the main roads."The attackers who reached Moonfall didn't co
The Lycan king's Unwanted Luna Chapter 80: The King Under Pressure
Kael's POVThe council reconvened within the hour. This time, they weren't arguing about the same thing. Each Alpha wanted something different."She should be placed under formal royal custody," the first said. "If her claim is real, you cannot simply make decisions about her alone inside your own palace.""She should be sent from the Capital entirely," the second argued. "Her presence is what drew the attack on Moonfall. It will draw worse here."The third leaned forward, less concerned with removing her than with understanding her. "You keep saying you don't know what she is. Then find out. Formally. With witnesses. Before the rest of us decide for you."The hostile Alpha waited until the others had finished before delivering his own blow. "You are protecting a woman whose blood may have been forbidden from ever touching the throne.""Choose your next words carefully," I said, quiet enough that the room stilled to hear it.No one mistook that quiet for weakness.It was one of the ro
The Lycan king's Unwanted Luna Chapter 79: The Ashbourne Question
Seraphina's POVI watched the man for as long as I could keep him in sight, but he'd already begun retreating into the crowd, unhurried, unbothered, as though he'd only wanted to be seen and nothing more."Do you know that symbol?" I asked Kael.He looked toward the place where the man had stood, a beat too long before he answered."I've seen it before.""Where?""On records my father ordered sealed."I studied him, the careful economy of his answer, the way he'd given me exactly enough and nothing further."Every time I find something about my mother," I said, "you already know part of it."He didn't deny it. "My father knew things about Evelyne that I never understood myself. I'm only learning them now, the same as you.""That's not what I asked.""I know." He held my gaze. "I should have told you sooner. I don't have an excuse good enough to give you instead."That honesty didn't undo anything. But it was more than a prettier answer would have offered me, and I let myself accept it
The Lycan king's Unwanted Luna Chapter 7: Behind the Walls
I couldn’t stop thinking about the signing. Not the contract itself. Not even the way my name now sat next to his on that paper. It was the way Kael had spoken up for me. Twice now. Nobody had ever done that before. I hated how much it stuck with me.Mara found me in the library the next morning. “
The Lycan king's Unwanted Luna Chapter 6: The Contract
Morning arrived before I felt ready for it. I stood still while Mara and two other attendants helped me into a dark green dress. The fabric skimmed over my body without squeezing the life out of me. No corset. No pins digging in. No whispers about seams splitting.I kept waiting for the comments an
The Lycan king's Unwanted Luna Chapter 5: Hidden Currents
I couldn't sleep. I lay in the big bed staring at the canopy above me. The fire had burned low and thrown long shadows across the room.My arm still tingled where Kael had touched me. The warmth wouldn't leave. It dulled some of the sharp ache from the broken bond, but it left me restless.I kept t
The Lycan king's Unwanted Luna Chapter 4: The Cold Arrive
The vehicle rumbled through the night. I sat pressed against the leather seat with my bag clutched in my lap. Every bump sent a fresh ache through my chest.Black Hollow already felt a lifetime away. Elias had handed me an extra coat at the last minute, but that was all. No proper goodbyes. All tha
