The Lycan’s Tribute: Claimed By My Foster Brothers Chapter 126
Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-SixAurelia's POVWe crashed into the thick undergrowth, branches whipping at our faces, catching at our arms, snagging everything they could grab. My lungs burned. My legs ached in the deep, specific way that came from running on nothing but panic and adrenaline for too long. And the tole of that was beginning to take shape in my chest. The sounds of pursuit were distant. Not fully gone, that's not a conclusion to be made in our current situation. Rylan slowed first, his hand coming up, and we all pulled to a stop between two thick trees, breathing hard."We can't just keep running," he said, voice dropped low, hands braced on his knees before he straightened. "We need to do more than that. We need to actually throw them off."Kaelen wiped dirt from the side of his face. "You have something in mind?" He asked. "Let's make a false trail," Rylan said. "We break branches, trample leaves, make it look like we went east." He looked between us. "Then we ac

Kade's POVThey walked in like they belonged there, which I had to respect even while it annoyed the hell out of me.All four of them. Kaelen first, unhurried, face giving nothing away, with Kaelen, I'd never been sure which. Rylan behind him, doing his exit-mapping thing the second he cleared the door, eyes touching every corner like he was already planning the part where he left. Torin, quiet, arms loose at his sides. And then Aurelia, spine straight, chin up, wearing the expression of someone who had made peace with something before walking through a door and had walked through it anyway.I watched them take their seats."Nice of you to come," I said.None of them said anything. Kaelen looked at me. Rylan looked at the table. I called the meeting to order.The first part went the way I'd planned, the law, the precedent, the ancient prohibition on Drakos, all of it laid out clean so that every elder in the room had the same foundation before I named who'd broken it. They nodded alon
The Lycan’s Tribute: Claimed By My Foster Brothers Chapter 124
Aurelia's POVThe daylight hit like a slap and I didn't have time to blink through it.Horses. Four of them, already saddled, already tied to the post at the side entrance. I stopped for half a second, just long enough to take it in, I looked at Kaelen."You planned for this," I said, already moving toward the nearest one.He didn't look at me, fingers working at the reins quick, "I plan for everything," he said. "Mount up rather than asking questions.”We mounted and rode.The courtyard stone gave way to dirt that gave way to the open road, and the wind came in fast and cold and I pressed low over the horse's neck and let the animal do what it was built for. My fingers tightened in its mane. I stopped thinking and just moved with it.Behind us, the shouting started.I glanced back, I couldn't help it and caught the first blur of movement at the gates before Rylan's voice cut through the wind beside me."Don't look back, it slows you down.""I'm gauging the distance …”"Ten guards, m
The Lycan’s Tribute: Claimed By My Foster Brothers Chapter 123
Aurelia's POVThe guards moved the way guards moved when they'd been told to move, with blunt and committed energy. Rylan stepped forward to meet the first one, his voice cutting across the chamber. "You'll regret this decision." He said it directly to Kade, not to the guard, his eyes finding the head of the table over the approaching bodies. "Whatever you think you're building here, you'll regret it.""Cold comfort from a cell," Torin said, coming up on Rylan's right, his voice low and carrying no heat whatsoever, which somehow made it land harder.Kade's face did something then, a brief, involuntary tightening that he got back under control in the time it takes to blink, but I was watching and I saw it.Before he could answer, one of the elders at the far end of the table was on his feet, his face the colour of a man whose blood pressure had been making poor decisions. "They dare threaten the Alpha!" His voice cracked with it. "After breaking sacred law, after lying to this counci
The Lycan’s Tribute: Claimed By My Foster Brothers Chapter 122
Aurelia's POVThe chamber was already full when we walked in, which meant everyone had a clear view of us doing it.Every head turned. The murmuring didn't stop, it just changed pitch, the way a room sounds when its topic has walked through the door. I kept my eyes forward and my chin level and my hands relaxed at my sides, which took more effort than any of the training had. I honestly didn't think I'd be straining this much to remain composed. Kade sat at the head of the long table looking like a man who had arranged every detail of his morning and was satisfied with how it was coming together. Aldric stood at his left shoulder with his arms folded, his face doing its usual impression of a wall. Giving nothing away. We took the seats near the back. I sat between Rylan and Kaelen, Torin on Rylan's other side. Under the table, my hands found each other and stayed there.Kade let the noise settle on its own, which told me he was in no hurry."Thank you all for coming," he said, his v
The Lycan’s Tribute: Claimed By My Foster Brothers Chapter 121
Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-OneKade's POVSleep had decided it wasn't coming, which I accepted around the second hour of lying in the dark with nothing in sight. The halls of the pack house at this hour had their own thing to them, the torches burned low and far apart, the stone cold underfoot. I walked around without a destination in mind which wasn't something I did often enough to be comfortable at it.I heard them before I saw them.Near the garden corridor, voices, speaking in low tones, the cadence of a conversation that didn't want to be overheard. I slowed down without deciding to. Pressed back against the wall at the corner and turned to check who it was. Lyra. And Corvus, leaning toward her slightly, his grey head bent, his hands moving in the quiet emphatic way of someone making a point they needed the other person to receive correctly.I couldn't make out the words. The distance was too far to get anything, the stone eating the sound before it could get to where I
The Lycan’s Tribute: Claimed By My Foster Brothers Spell of the anomalies.
Aurelia's POV.The door closed and the silence it left behind was the worst kind.The three of us stood in it, none of us quite looking at each other, the weight of the old woman's last words still pressing down. No matter what you hear.I counted to about thirty before the first sound came through
The Lycan’s Tribute: Claimed By My Foster Brothers The Woman in the Woods.
Aurelia's POV.Nobody moved for a second after the doctor said it.Then Rylan said, "Where."The doctor looked like he'd been hoping nobody would ask that. He shifted his weight, glanced toward the end of the street, then back at us. "There's a woman. She lives on the outskirts, past the eastern tr

Aurelia's POV.The fire was ash by the time anyone felt like talking again.We sat around the dead circle of it in the gray early light, the cold sitting on all of us, and picked up where the night had left off like the dark had just been an interruption."A person." Torin said, chewing on it. "Zan
The Lycan’s Tribute: Claimed By My Foster Brothers What the night holds
Torin's POV.Sleep did not come.I lay still for a long time and waited for it the way you wait for something you already know is not going to show up. My body was tired. That part was real, the heaviness in my arms and the ache that had settled into my shoulders from a day of holding everything wo
