The lycan king’s regret WHAT A KING GIVES UP
Kaelors point of view I did not tell Zareth the rest of it that night. I could not. I had practiced the words a hundred times in my head. Every time I said them it ended the same way. With Zareth telling me not to do the one thing I had already decided to do. She had spent months fighting to survive. The least I could do was make sure she did not have to spend whatever time she had left fighting me Instead I sat beside her bed until she fell asleep listening to her breathing remembering the sound. You keep staring at me like I'm about to disappear she said sometime around midnight. You threatened to once I said. A sleepy smile came to her face. Still might she said. That does not surprise me I said. It was the conversation we had before I did something unforgivable. Mae found me packing the things two nights later. Herbs and old iron and a blade I had sharpened that morning. The look on her face told me she had known this was coming since the library. I knew it she said
The lycan king’s regret TWENTY-SEVEN DAYS
I was getting better. It was slow and not always steady. I was getting better. I could sit up by myself mornings. I could walk to the garden with Sabriel some afternoons. We both pretended that the walk was not hard for us. It was. My hands did not shake much as they used to. I did not faint every time I stood up. Some mornings I woke up before the sun. Forgot that my life was going to end soon. I forgot for a few seconds but it was nice. The healers did not look at me with pity anymore. That was somehow worse than the pity. Sabriel said "You are doing better." I was drinking tea. I could keep it down. She said "Whatever he is doing it is working." I said "He is not doing anything. He is just sitting near me. Being annoying." Sabriel said "That is all it takes I guess." She said it in a way like she was happy about it. She stirred her tea. Said "You should have seen him when the healers said you had gained weight." I said "What?" She said "He was happier than he wa
The lycan king’s regret WHAT SABRIEL KNOWS
Kaelors POVI read the letter from Thornwood three times that night.It did not get any better.War is very expensive. If we go to war with Thornwood it could be very bad for Crescent Veil. Half of my advisors do not think I should be in charge because I made some mistakes.The other half just do not say it loud.Going to war over Virelle does not make sense.That means Thornwood wants somethingMy wolf has been saying that for hours.No one threatens kingdoms over people they do not care about.I folded the letter carefully.My wolf is right.James found me after midnight sitting in Torins study with a lot of papers on the desk."Please tell me you are not thinking of giving her to them.""No.""Good.""I am thinking of how to prevent a war and keep her safe."He sat down across from me."Ah so only hard tasks tonight."I did not answer him."Thornwood is just trying to buy time.""For what?""I do not know."That is what I hate.Kings are supposed to know what is going on.I did not
The lycan king’s regret ENOUGH TO HURT
Zareths POVMae said "Absolutely not" in a voice that was loud enough for everyone in the hallway to hear. The servants quickly found something to do they did not want to be around when Mae was angry."He is not staying in this house " Mae said.I tried to sit up. It was a bad idea. My body hurt over and I was still very sick."Please stop yelling " I said to Mae. "I do not want to die with all this noise around me."Mae said "Do not joke about that."I said " stop shouting. We can not both be upset at the time."Mae said "Do not try to calm me down Zar. He sent you away in front of everyone in the kingdom."There was a moment of silence.I said "To be fair he did look very unhappy when he did it."Mae said "That does not make it okay."I said "No I guess not."I heard Kaelors voice from near the door. He was speaking in an careful tone like he was trying not to make anyone angry."I am not asking for forgiveness " Kaelor said. "I just want to be close enough to her so she can survive
The lycan king’s regret THE UNRAVELING LIE
Kaelors POVThe morning James and I talked to the maid in a room that was not often used.It was in the wing far from the main hallways.The maid looked like she had been up all night thinking about whether she should be talking to us.Her fingers were twisting the hem of her apron. I thought she might tear it.She said "I did not want to say anything Lady Virelle is not someone you want to cross in this palace.”Her voice was low and she said "Not if you want to keep your job not if you want to stay safe.”James and I looked at each other.I said "No one will punish you for telling the truth you have my word.”The maid. Said "A kings promises do not mean much if the king does not know he is being lied to.”Something cold settled in my chest.I said "Tell me what you saw.”The maid took a breath and said "It was the night before the herbs were found I was taking clean sheets to the west wing.”She said "I saw Lady Virelle outside Lady Zareths room she was carrying something wrapped in
The lycan king’s regret UNRAVELING
Kaelors POVThe palace kept moving after she was gone.It always does.Kings die queens fall alliances break.The palace just learns to adapt and keep going as if nothing important was lost.Three weeks had passed since Zareth was taken beyond Crescent Veils gates.Three weeks.I had not slept through the night once.The servants had stopped asking if I wanted breakfast.The council had stopped pretending not to watch me.My wolf... My wolf had not stopped howling.The pain was not physical.That would have been easier.It was somewhere beneath my ribs worst when I was alone enough to think.Mate.The word had become a curse.Every morning I reached for the side of the bond.Every morning I found distance.Not absence.That was the part that refused to leave me alone.She was still there.Far away.Alive.My wolf knew it with certainty.If the Moon Goddess had truly broken us I would not still feel her.Yet... Every night just before sleep claimed me I felt the echo of grief that was
