The Lycan king's Unwanted Luna Chapter 74: The King's Blood
Seraphina's POVI sat there long after the parchment's words had stopped moving across the page in my mind. Your daughter must never be claimed by the Lycan throne.I didn't believe Kael was evil. I couldn't make myself believe that, not after everything he'd risked to reach me. But if his father had been part of whatever happened to my mother, I no longer knew how much of the man I'd married had been built on a foundation he didn't even know was cracked.I heard his footsteps before he reached the chamber and folded the parchment small enough to slip inside my sleeve. He stopped in the doorway, studying my face with the particular attention he'd learned to give me these past weeks."What happened?"I hesitated. "Did your father ever tell you about an Ashbourne woman?"Something crossed his face, not shock exactly. "Elias told me once that Father locked him in the east tower the same night Evelyne Ashbourne disappeared. That there was blood on his gloves that wasn't his own. I've wond
The Lycan king's Unwanted Luna Chapter 73: The Blade of Two Bloodlines
Seraphina's POVThe blade warmed in my hand the moment I closed my fingers around it, the mark beneath my collar responding in kind, a slow pulse that matched neither my heartbeat nor anything I recognized as my own.The chamber blurred around me, and I stood suddenly somewhere else, this same room, years younger in every carved line, my mother standing where I stood now. She wasn't alone. A man faced her, his back to me, though something in his bearing struck me as unmistakably familiar.Kael's father.My mother extended the blade toward him, her hands steady despite whatever fear must have lived beneath her composure."If you betray me," she said, "my daughter will pay for it."The memory dissolved before he answered, leaving me gripping empty air where the vision had stood a moment before.She hadn't feared the royal family from a distance. She had known them personally, trusted them enough to hand over something this precious, and something had gone wrong badly enough that she'd s
The Lycan king's Unwanted Luna Chapter 72: The Mark He Was Never Meant to See
Seraphina's POV>>>>>>I covered the mark with my hand before Kael could reach for it. He froze halfway through the motion, and the moment his fingers brushed against mine, a sharp heat flared beneath my palm, enough to make us both pull back."What did your mother mean by a second mark?" he asked."I don't know." It was true. Whatever answer existed, my mother had buried it deeper than a single warning.I didn't tell him the rest of what she'd said. Not yet. Some things still felt like mine alone to carry.I pressed my hand back against the mark, and the chamber around me dissolved into fragments that weren't quite memory and weren't quite dream. A burning settlement. Wolves fighting alongside wolves who should have been enemies. My mother, pregnant, running through dense trees, though not away from anything. Toward something. A man wearing the Thorn crest, his face turned from me. Another wearing the royal crest, unmistakable even blurred. A woman holding this same pendant, blood dri
The Lycan king's Unwanted Luna Chapter 71: The Awakening
Seraphina's POVI walked the corridor alone after Kael left, his half-answer still sitting uneasily in my chest. I wasn't angry at him, not entirely. I was angry at everyone who had known some piece of me before I did.Near the end of the corridor, a support beam caught my eye, the same carved symbol from my pendant scratched crudely into its base, half hidden behind years of dust. Nothing had guided me there. I'd simply looked, the way I'd learned to look at everything twice since leaving the Citadel. Behind the beam, a narrow stairwell dropped into darkness.I went down it myself.The stairs ended in a small stone chamber, cold and undisturbed, its walls covered in carved markings. The same three wolves, the same broken crown, repeated dozens of times across the stone in patterns I didn't understand. One symbol, larger than the rest, sat at the chamber's center. I reached out and touched it.A voice filled the room, faint, worn thin by years, but unmistakably my mother's."If you're
The Lycan king's Unwanted Luna Chapter 70: What Her Mother Hid
Kael's POVThey led us into a wide hall built into the mountainside itself, five Alpha houses seated across from the elder, from Seraphina, from me. Within minutes I understood this Council hadn't ridden here as one body with one purpose.The first Alpha watched her with something close to reverence, the way a man watches a relic he'd believed lost forever. The second wouldn't look at her directly at all, his eyes fixed on the table between us. The third, the one who'd refused to kneel in the clearing, sat with his arms crossed and his jaw set, openly hostile in a way none of the others matched. The fourth studied her the way I'd seen merchants study a rare commodity. The fifth, as before, gave away nothing at all.They spoke over each other, around her, through her, as though she were a treaty to be negotiated rather than a woman sitting three feet away from every one of them.Beside me, I felt her anger rise before she spoke a word of it, sharp and sudden through the bond, and my wo
The Lycan king's Unwanted Luna Chapter 69: The Council Comes
Kael's POVI counted before I felt anything else. Five Alpha houses. An army marching behind them. The warriors had said before dawn, so I gave myself until then to prepare, though I already knew that wasn't enough time to do anything more than watch."Call your fighters," I told the elder. "I'll bring mine in from the ridge.""No.""They're coming for my mate.""No," the elder said again, calm in a way that made the refusal worse. "They're coming for the blood in her veins. This valley has survived by staying hidden. Bring your soldiers here, and you expose every family who's sheltered her mother's people for twenty years. I won't allow that, King or not."I clenched my jaw and said nothing further, though the refusal sat like a stone in my chest.Then a colder thought settled over the first. Five houses, arriving within a day of her reaching this valley, a place hidden well enough that even I hadn't known it existed until an archivist led me to Black Lake.Someone had told them exac
The Lycan king's Unwanted Luna Chapter 3: The sacrifice
The tears had dried. My face felt stiff. When I finally stood, my legs nearly gave out beneath me. The bond still throbbed with every move, dull and heavy in my chest.I pushed the door open and stepped into the hallway. The pack house had gone quiet. Distant music and laughter drifted from the m
The Lycan king's Unwanted Luna Chapter 2: Broken in Public
The words kept ringing in my ears.“I reject Seraphina Vale as my mate.”A sharp pain ripped through my chest. I pressed a hand against my ribs and nearly stumbled. The hall exploded around me. Gasps turned into murmurs, then open whispers. People stared. Some looked away fast. Others didn’t hide t
The Lycan king's Unwanted Luna Chapter 1: The wrong Bride
“Tighter,” Aunt Helena said.The corset strings dug in hard. I grabbed the edge of the dressing table and held my breath. Pain flared across my ribs, but I stayed quiet.“Hold still, Seraphina,” a servant muttered. “We don’t have all day.”Another one whispered, “The dress barely closes. How’s she
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. “
