Chapter 48

last update Last Updated: 2025-05-02 21:10:50

I didn’t waste a second. My legs moved before my mind could catch up, and I bolted. I didn’t know what my wolf saw or what might have triggered her sudden urgencybut I didn’t question it. I just ran.

This had become a vicious cycle, all too familiar. How many times would I keep running from the same person? When would it finally end? When do I get to stop escaping and start living? I was tired, tired of running, tired of being hunted, tired of having nowhere to call home. I just wanted peace. A place of my own. A moment to breathe.

Then, bam.

A body slammed into mine, and I skidded across the ground. But I caught myself before falling flat, thanks to my wolf. She was getting stronger again and faster. More alert too.

“Thank you.” I whispered in my mind and kept going.

I turned back briefly, and my breath caught in my throat.

Logan.

“Where the hell do you think you’re going?” he growled, muscles flexing, eyes wild.

I blinked at him, genuinely confused. “Are you okay? Do you have amn

    “Shift!” Logan barked, his voice full of command and my wolf obeyed instantly.“Why did you do that?” I snapped at her, angry that she gave in so easily. But she only whimpered in response.I rolled my eyes at her weakness, but I couldn’t blame her. She was still trying to heal and still learning how to live with being rejected.“Let go of me!” I snapped at Logan. He had stopped choking me, but his hand was still wrapped around my neck, holding me up like I weighed nothing. It was uncomfortable, painful even, and I needed him to let me down.“You do nothing without my permission,” he growled, his eyes burning with fury. “You are mine! I own you, and you will obey every order I give you!”“I’m not yours!” I screamed back, my voice filled with rage. “Stop being delusional, you fucking freak! We’re not mates anymore! You rejected me or you can’t remember? It’s over. Your mate is back at your pack, so go run to her and leave me the hell alone!”Spit flew from my mouth as I shouted, every

    I was conscious, but I couldn’t move. No matter how hard I tried, my body wouldn’t respond. Even my wolf was silent, still and unresponsive.I felt everything, though. I knew when we reached the pack grounds. I knew when Logan carried me into his quarters, then into his room. I felt the cold bite of heavy chains as he tied me to his bedpost. Typical Logan. This was exactly what he did the last time before I escaped.I also heard the door slam shut as he left.For a while, I just laid there, completely still. I didn’t think about anything. My mind was blank and numb. I didn’t know how long I stayed like that before I eventually drifted off to sleep.I jolted awake to the sound of voices. Loud, angry , and close.I blinked and looked around, confused at first. The voices were coming from across the room. Logan and Valerie were arguing. I closed my eyes again, shaking my head before shifting into a more comfortable position.The fuzziness in my head was gone. I didn’t feel dizzy anymore

    My wolf howled inside me, scratching at my insides, begging to be let out. Her pain was sharp, raw, and unbearable. But I didn’t let her out. I built a wall and forced her down.Valerie was nearly half-naked now, panting and moaning as Logan trailed soft kisses down her neck and across her chest. He wasn’t doing this out of passion, he was doing it to break me and it was working.But I wouldn’t let him see that.I cleared my throat, sharp and loud enough to cut through their moment.“You really should work on your moaning, Valerie,” I said dryly. “You sound ridiculous. Which explains why Logan Isn't even hard for you. I mean, are you sure you’re actually sexually appealing to him?”Logan’s growl ripped through the room, deafening and deadly. I quickly covered my ears, feeling the full force of his rage behind it. It was a warning. A loud one.He wanted me to shut up but I wasn’t done yet. It takes two to play.“Easy, tiger,” I said, my voice sharp as I stared at him. “You know I’m not

    Logan gave me one last glare before storming out of the room.For a second, I thought he’d come at me, hit me, grab me, or just do something. But he didn’t. He just walked out, fists clenched, jaw tight.Guess I hurt his pride. And I loved it. I tried to hold back a smile, but it was almost impossible. I was still aching from what just happened, but I pushed the pain to the back of my mind. This wasn’t the time to dwell on it.Then I remembered. I wasn’t alone.Valerie was still in the room with me. And she was pissed.She hadn’t liked how things played out. Not one bit. And now, I was the perfect target for her anger. Worst part? I was chained up, and there was no one here to stop her. I was at her mercy. She didn’t waste time.She dropped to the ground and crawled toward me, her claws out, eyes wild with rage. I scooted back fast, barely dodging the swipe aimed at my face. It was so close. She let out a snarl and lunged again, but this time I raised my leg and kicked her hard.

    Valerie looked like she was thinking it over for a moment, her eyes narrowing.“Why should I let you escape,” she said coldly, “when I can just kill you and make sure no one ever finds out?”She took a step closer, voice low and cruel.“I want Logan all to myself. I don’t like the idea of you being out there, alive. If you’re dead, that’s better for me. I wouldn’t have to worry about you returning while having some silly ideas in your head, thinking you have Logan back. ”I stared back, trying to stay calm.“You have my word,” I said quietly. “I’ll never come back. Not after how I’ve been treated. Logan already made it clear in so many ways that we can’t be together and also, I won’t beg anyone who has rejected me. I won’t stay where I’m not wanted—”Before I could finish, a loud horn blasted through the air and the sound shook the walls, loud enough to make the windows rattle. I froze, confused. What the hell was that?I turned back to Valerie but her face had gone pale, white as sn

    Bodies.That was all I saw when I stepped outside. Logan’s soldiers were scattered across the ground, limbs twisted at unnatural angles, their eyes wide open in death or shock, I couldn’t tell. A cold chill ran through me as I scanned the bloodied bodies, my heart racing as I searched for him.Logan.Damn this mate bond. Even after everything, my heart still reached out for him, aching with worry I didn’t want to feel. I moved through the bodies, hoping someone could explain what the hell was going on.Then I turned a corner… and froze.He stood there.A man I had never seen before, standing tall and deadly in front of a bloodied and injured Logan. My breath caught. He was… beautiful. Beautiful and terrifying. His eyes were mismatched. One a piercing icy blue, the other burning red like fire. And his body. God, it was like stone. Muscles thicker than Logan’s, veins visible, and tattoos etched into every inch of exposed skin.He wore a black singlet and combat trousers, his arms loose

    “Why stress that little head of yours trying to figure things out?” the man said, folding his arms across his chest, his biceps bulging beneath his shirt. “Just ask. I’m right here. Ready to explain anything you want to know.”I blinked and shook my head, trying to focus. Trying to stop staring at him like some starstruck fool.Get it together, Lily.“Who are you?” I asked, voice firmer now. “And how do you know me?”He smiled. Then, with slow, confident steps, he backed away like he was preparing for something dramatic. And when he spoke, his voice echoed with power.“I am the Lycan King. The Alpha of Alphas. The one no one dares to cross without paying the price. The protector of those who call out in need.”I stared at him, stunned.The Lycan King?No. It couldn’t be.There were many Alphas across the world. Dozens of packs. But only one Lycan King. One ruler above all others. And he was standing right in front of me.No wonder Logan couldn’t match him. No wonder the Alpha tone did

    “Take who away?” I asked, stepping back instinctively. This had to be some kind of joke. Maybe he’d pull out a red nose and announce it was all a prank. But the hard line of his jaw and the way his eyes didn’t waver told me he was dead serious.“I won’t say it again, wolf. I didn’t come all this way for an argument. I don’t want to be here any more than you want me here. So make this easy and come along quietly. Don’t make a scene.” The Lycan King’s voice was flat, almost bored.He turned his back on me, clearly expecting I’d fall in line like some obedient pet. But I stayed right where I was, my feet glued to the floor. He hadn’t explained anything to me and he thinks he can just command me? How did I supposedly summon him? And now he expected me to follow him blindly? What kind of backwards kidnapping method was this?“Now,” he said over his shoulder. A hint of frustration showing on his face. “No,” I said, loud and clear, keeping my gaze locked with his.His eyes narrowed dangero

    What was happening?I turned my head slowly toward the Lycan King.He was staring at me, his eyes pitch black. Was he doing this? Was he controlling me again? And then, pain. Sharp, excruciating pain. That’s what I felt. It felt like something was tearing my wolf away from my body, like we were being forcefully separated. My wolf and I howled together, screaming in unison, both terrified.The pain lasted about a minute—one long, torturous minute of shaking, screaming, and burning from the inside out.And then I collapsed.When I opened my eyes, I wasn’t inside my wolf. I was staring at her.She was standing in front of me, her eyes filled with pain and confusion, mirroring mine.Was I… dead?How could she be here, separate from me when I hadn’t even shifted?She stepped closer and rubbed her face gently against my body, purring softly.I reached out and ran my hands through her fur. She was beautiful.Seeing her like this from this perspective took my breath away. I’d never seen any

    I took a step back, shaking my head. What the Lycan King just said didn’t make any sense. Was he trying to mess with me? How could our wolves have the same fur color? That’s only supposed to happen with mates and even then, it’s not always identical. I’ve never heard of mates having the same fur color. All this time, I thought the black that suddenly appeared on half of my wolf’s body came from Logan. His wolf is black, after all, so it made sense. But now the Lycan King is saying something completely different, something that just doesn’t add up.“So you’re saying you shifted once and were a white wolf, and then you shifted again and suddenly turned black and white? Are you trying to mess with me? Let me make it clear to you. I’m not in the mood for your games.” he asked, his voice rising with anger.“I should be the one asking questions right now,” I hissed back. “Because it seems like you know more about me than I do. How do you even know what my wolf looks like?”“Because that’s

    Suddenly, the air around me changed. A force lifted me off the ground and threw me out of the room. The door slammed behind me, and I landed hard on my butt.Did he really just kick me out like that?I stood up fast and went to the door, grabbing the handle but the moment I touched it, a sharp jolt of electricity shot through my arm. I cried out, fell to the floor, and shook from the shock.“You fucker!” I shouted once I could talk again. “Just because you have powers doesn’t mean you can use them however you want! Screw you!”The door burst open, and he came out looking furious. He grabbed my shirt and pulled me up, shaking me.“I could kill you right now,” he said through gritted teeth. “So you better keep that mouth of yours shut. You don’t know what I’m capable of so don’t test me.”I knew I should be scared but all I could do was stare at him.He was… beautiful. Too beautiful. His eyes were sharp, his face perfect, and when he pulled me closer, I forgot how to breathe.Our faces

    The Lycan King picked up his pace, and within seconds, it felt like we were gliding through the air. Floating fast and smooth. I should have asked questions or just said something but I couldn’t. My body felt weak and my mind was heavy. I should have been relieved and happy that he took me away from that hellhole. But all I felt was… emptiness, sadness and embarrassment. Why did I have to act like that?Why did I scream and beg right in front of him after putting up such a strong front? I had told him I’d never go with him, and now here I was… in his arms, heading to God-knows-where without a single fight.“You can let go of my shirt before you rip it to shreds,” he said, voice low and rumbling from his chest.I flinched.“Sorry,” I muttered, loosening my clenched fist. I hadn’t realized I was gripping his clothes that hard. The fabric beneath my hand was already torn.“You can put me down,” I said quietly, trying to shift away. “I can walk.”“I’m not sure either of us wants that,”

    The Lycan King lifted me effortlessly back into his arms, staring down at me as if waiting for some kind of apology or a thank you. I gave him neither. I crossed my arms tightly over my chest and turned my face away. I had a thousand things to say but I’d rather stay silent.“Exactly what I thought,” he muttered after a pause.He turned to leave, carrying me like a ragdoll, when a familiar voice filled the air.“Stop right there!” Logan yelled. “You know the rules,” he barked, stepping forward. “You can’t just take a pack member without the Alpha’s permission. And also, she’s not just anyone, she’s my true mate. You can’t separate us. She belongs to me, and I won’t let you walk away with her!”His voice shook, but whether it was from fear or anger, I couldn’t tell and it wasn’t like I did care.Instead, I laughed.A bitter, broken, pained laugh that echoed through the field and made heads turn. Everyone stared like I’d finally lost my mind.“Shut up, you lying bastard!” I snapped, n
