Ariana’s POV

Sleep refused to come.

I lay in bed, and stared at the ceiling, and my mind spinned in circles that led nowhere good.

Damien’s question still echoed inside my head.

“Has he made you happy?”

I never answered him, I couldn’t.

The silence had stretched so long that Damien finally walked away without another word.

And he left both Kael and me standing there, staring at the space where the answer should have been.

I then turned onto my side, and pressed my face into the pillow, and I

  • Too Tempting for the Lycan King   CHAPTER 124: The Second Queen

    Ariana’s POV“Your blood awakened because you are not Ariana’s enemy. You are the key to killing the Moonborn Queen.”The words hit me harder than any attack.I looked at Damien.He did not move.Kael stepped in front of me.“What did you just say?”The woman did not look at him.Her silver eyes stayed on Damien.“You heard me.”Damien touched his chest.The ancient marks beneath his shirt began to burn.“Ariana,” he whispered.I moved toward him.“Damien?”He looked at me.“I do not know what is happening.”The woman smiled.“You will.”Kael grabbed his sword.“Enough.”I caught his wrist.“No.”He looked at me.“She threatened to kill you.”“She did not attack me.”“Yet.”I shook my head.“Kael, let me speak to her.”The woman laughed.“You still protect her.”Kael stared at her.“Who are you?”She finally looked at him.“My name is Lyra.”My heart jumped.“Lyra?”She nodded.“My sister.”The word felt strange in my mouth.I took another step.“I never knew you.”“You knew enough.”

  • Too Tempting for the Lycan King   CHAPTER 123: The Child They Hid

    Ariana’s POV“My mother said I was never the only child.”The words had barely left my mouth when my knees gave way.Kael caught me before I hit the floor.“Ariana.”I pushed against his chest.“Let me go.”He released me at once.I wiped my face, but more tears came.“I need the truth.”Kael looked at me.“You will get it.”“No.” I turned toward the woman from the village. “Not from him. From her.”The woman stood near the doorway.She had watched us in silence.I walked toward her.“You knew.”Her face fell.“You knew about me.”“Yes.”“You knew about my mother.”“Yes.”“You knew I had another child?”The woman looked down.“Your twin.”The word hit me harder than any blow.“Twin?”Kael stepped closer.“You have a twin?”The woman nodded.“You were born together.”My hand covered my mouth.I shook my head.“No. My mother never told me.”“She could not.”“Why?”The woman took a breath.“Because your birth was not allowed to become known.”“Who decided that?”“The Moonborn guardians.”

  • Too Tempting for the Lycan King   CHAPTER 122: My Mother Chose Them

    Damien’s POV“Tell Ariana not to rescue me. The person who took me is protecting her.”The words kept ringing in my head.I stared at the guard.“What did she mean?”His lips moved, but no sound came out.I leaned closer.“Who took her?”He swallowed.“I do not know.”“You saw them.”“I saw the woman who came for her.”My heart stopped.“A woman?”He nodded.“She was not afraid. Your Queen’s mother knew her.”I stepped back.That made no sense.Ariana had spent years searching for her mother. Now someone had taken her, and her own mother had left a warning not to save her.I found Ariana and Kael in the palace hall.Ariana looked at me the moment I entered.“What happened?”I looked at Kael, then back at her.“The guard survived.”Her face changed.“What did he say?”I forced the words out.“Your mother left a message.”Ariana moved closer.“What message?”I looked into her eyes.“She said, ‘Tell Ariana not to rescue me. The person who took me is protecting her.’”Ariana stared at me.

  • Too Tempting for the Lycan King   CHAPTER 121: The Prison Is Empty

    Ariana’s POV“Your mother has been taken.”The words hit me harder than any blade.I stared at the captain.“No.”He lowered his head.“My Queen…”“No!” I grabbed his arm. “Tell me you are wrong.”His eyes filled with fear.“I wish I was.”“Who took her?”“We do not know.”“Then find out!”My voice shook through the throne room.“How did they enter the prison? How did they pass the guards? That prison was guarded day and night!”The captain swallowed.“They did not fight the guards.”I stared at him.“What?”“They found every guard alive.”Damien stepped closer.“Alive?”“Yes.”Kael’s face hardened.“What happened to them?”“They were under a spell.”I felt my stomach turn.“What kind of spell?”“We don’t know. They could not move. They could not speak. Their eyes were open, but they could not respond.”Kael turned toward the royal guards.“Seal every gate.”The guards moved at once.“No one enters the palace. No one leaves. Search every room, every passage, every servant quarters.”H

  • Too Tempting for the Lycan King   CHAPTER 120: The Queen’s Enemy

    Ariana’s POVI screamed as the relic burned in my hand.Kael caught me before I fell.“Ariana!”I could not answer.Silver light rushed through my body. My knees gave way, but Kael held me against his chest.“Look at me,” he said. “Ariana, look at me.”I opened my eyes.He was there.His face was the first thing I saw.But then the room disappeared.I was somewhere else.I saw my father.He stood inside a dark room, younger than I remembered him.He looked afraid.I had never seen fear in his eyes before.A man stood in front of him.His face was hidden beneath a hood.My father held a small bundle against his chest.A baby.Me.“If they discover she is the child, they will kill her,” my father said.My heart stopped.The hooded person moved closer.“You cannot hide her forever.”“I only need enough time.”“Time will not save her.”My father looked down at the baby in his arms.“She is innocent.”“So was your family.”My father looked up sharply.“What do you want from me?”The person

    Ariana’s POVThe blood was still wet.I stared at it beneath Kael’s bed, unable to breathe.The silver relic sat in the middle of the blood.For one second, nobody moved.Then Kael stepped beside me.“What is that?”I pointed.“That.”He looked down.His face changed.“No.”Damien came closer.“What?”Kael pulled his sword.“I have never seen that before.”I bent down.“Do not touch it.”Kael stopped.The relic looked like a small silver disk, but strange symbols moved across it. They seemed to breathe.My Moonborn mark burned.I pulled my hand against my chest.“It knows me.”Damien frowned.“How?”“I don’t know.”Kael looked around his room.“Search everything.”The guards rushed inside.“Under the bed. Behind the walls. Inside every cabinet.”I stood up.“Wait.”Everyone stopped.I looked at the blood.“This was placed here recently.”Damien crouched beside it.“There is blood on the floor too.”Kael’s eyes narrowed.“Whose?”Damien touched one finger near the blood.“Not enough to
