The Lycan’s Tribute: Claimed By My Foster Brothers Chapter 120
Aurelia's POVThe week moved slowly, the way it does when you're waiting for something and all of a sudden time feels slower than normal. Every morning I came downstairs expecting something. A letter, a rider, news through Kaelen's contacts inside the pack house. Every morning there was nothing, and the nothing came with tension and silence that couldn't be easily shrugged off with a couple of training sessions. Kaelen sent messages. Nobody answered. His contacts had gone quiet, and it was never a good thing whenever they went ghodt.The letter came on the seventh day.Kade's seal. Formal, clean, the wax pressed with precision that said someone had taken their time with it.Kaelen read it aloud in the living room, his voice flat and even, apparently we're being invited to the council meeting. Not the usual session, an expanded one, outside pack leaders invited, more names than any standard weekly gathering warranted.Tomorrow.The letter sat on the table between us when he finished.

Kade's POVThe fire had burned down to something that was more suggestion than heat, and I hadn't called for it to be restocked.The warrant sat on the desk in front of me, Aldric's careful handwriting filling the middle third of the page. I'd been looking at it for twenty minutes without picking it up.Aldric stood at the window with his hands behind his back, watching the sky do what it did at this hour, darken by degrees, the last grey light pulling back from the treeline."I want to issue it," I said."I know," Aldric said, without turning."Then say what you want to say about why I shouldn't, because I know you have that in mind."He turned from the window and looked at me. "The triplets have had time to build since Drakos," he said. "Corvus is already uneasy, we know that from the council meeting. There may be others. A public arrest, handled wrong, could fracture the pack along lines you haven't fully mapped yet.""Fracture it how?" I asked. "If enough of the elders see the ar

Aurelia's POVKaelen came into the library with a letter crumpled in his fist and the expression of a man who had read something twice hoping it would change and it hadn't.We were all there, Rylan with a book he wasn't reading, Torin sharpening a blade he'd already sharpened, me on the window seat doing nothing productive. Kaelen dropped into the chair across from the table and put the crumpled letter on it without flattening it."A contact inside the pack house sent this," he said, his voice stripped down to its bones. "Apparently kade is building a case.Gathering evidence, securing witnesses." He looked at all of us.“What's the case about and who's it against?” Torin asked. "The charge is entering Drakos without Alpha sanction. By ancient pack law, that's treason. Do I need to say who it's against?” Kaelen said, turning to face Torin. Probably trying to see his expression move from curiosity to fury. I stared at him."Tf? We saved the land," I said, my voice coming out flat wit

Kade's POVLyra was in the main hall when we rode through the gates, which meant someone had told her we were coming and she'd had time to arrange herself into the specific posture she used when she wanted answers and had decided patience wasn't going to be her approach.Arms crossed. Spine straight. Eyes moving between me and Aldric. "You look terrible," she said, when I got close enough."Thank you, Lyra," I said, handing my reins off without breaking stride. “You're always a comfort.""What happened in Drakos." Not a question. I stopped and looked at her. "The corruption is sealed," I said. "The triplets were useful. We came back." I moved toward the study. "That's what happened."She fell into step beside me, which I'd expected. "That's not what happened," she said. "That's just a summary with most of it removed.""It's what you're getting tonight," I said, my shoulder throbbing with every step in a way that made keeping my voice even a minor achievement. "I'm tired, Lyra. You o

Aurelia's POVA month out of Drakos and the world had decided to cooperate.The grass came back first, thick and green and aggressively alive, then the trees, small pale buds pushing out along the bare branches until the whole treeline looked like it was done hiding n The stream behind the mansion ran clear enough that I could see the bottom of it, which sounds ordinary but after everything? It wasn't, not after what it had looked like a month ago.I woke up to birds doing their normal, irritating, beautiful thing in the trees outside my window every morning.I had never been so glad to be annoyed by birds in my life.Training with Rylan had become a different thing than it used to be.The shift came fast now, no reaching for it, no fighting the seam of it. My wolf met me at the door every time, coat on. My claws extended on command. I could hold the wolf form for a full hour without slipping, which Kaelen had noted in his notebook along the days. The spirit wolf, however, had her o

Kade's POVTwo days of not being in a collapsing ruin did wonders for a person's outlook.My ribs still had opinions about the wraith throwing me into a wall, and my shoulder had developed a throbbing that arrived every morning like an unwanted visitor who'd decided to stay. But I was alive, which put me ahead of where the night in that chamber had seemed to be taking things.I walked to the edge of the settlement on the second morning with a cup of something the innkeeper called tea and looked at the ground.Grass. Thin, pale, but pushing up through the grey soil in small, scattered clusters, like something that had been holding its breath and had finally decided to try again. The residue on the settlement walls had flaked away overnight, leaving faint dark outlines of where it had been. The air smelled of damp earth and something underneath it, green and faint, the smell of nature trying to self revive itself. I stood there for a while and drank my tea and looked at the grass.We h

Rylan's POV.The passage behind the hooded figure split into two.Not obviously, not with any signage or indication Just two openings side by side, each sealed with a door made of something I didn't recognize, material that was neither stone nor wood nor metal but caught the torchlight and threw it
The Lycan’s Tribute: Claimed By My Foster Brothers No Way Back
Rylan's POV.I heard Kaelen and Aurelia's footsteps fade into the left passage and then there was no more time to think about them."Let's take this thing down together." Torin said, beside me, blade up."Together." I said.The creature came.It was fast in a way that made no sense given the size o

Aurelia's POV.Something shook my shoulder and I came up out of sleep like breaking the surface of water, hand going for my blade before I was fully awake."Easy." Kaelen's voice. Close. "It's me."I exhaled and let my hand drop. "How long was I out?""Long enough." He was crouching in front of me,
The Lycan’s Tribute: Claimed By My Foster Brothers Subtle confessions
Aurelia's POV.The scream went through my skull like something physical.I had my hands over my ears before I'd decided to move them and it made no difference because the sound wasn't coming through the air, it was just everywhere, inside the walls and inside my chest and inside every space between
