All Chapters of The Lycan Prince’s Puppy: Chapter 521 - Chapter 530

VioletI stood in front of the cabin.I had seen it before, plenty of times, but mostly through Adelaide’s eyes. Even though no one had lived here for over a decade, it appeared to be in a good state. The windows were spotless, the path leading up to the door seemed well maintained, and there was not even a single wildflower growing.I drew in a long breath. This was where I had been born.A quiet exhale came from Aelius, who stood beside me. The rest of the group had stayed back a few steps behind to give us some space. But they were close enough for me to feel their presence.It wasn’t just them who came to look, but also a big group of curious villagers who stood at an even greater distance.It was right in front of me, so why was I not entering?I had wanted this. I had spent days imagining what it might feel like to walk into the place where Mom had carried me, where Dad threw me into the air and always caught me, where I had taken my first breath...But now, standing here, it wa

VioletIt was bright and early in the morning when we stood at the gathering point, just outside the gates. We were waiting for Commander Jorn and Sterling to arrive.Jorn’s message yesterday had been clear. We would leave in the morning, in our Elite gear, with a small backpack of essentials in case we ended up staying the night.And the gloves...According to him, we could absolutely not forget the gloves. Even Trinity had received a spare uniform.I glanced to the side and watched her direct Dylan, who was holding her pocket mirror at the exact angle she needed to twist her hair into a bun. Nate stood just behind him, mocking both of them.A small smile pulled at my lips. I had not slept well last night, and it wasn’t because of a nightmare.I had been overwhelmed by everything. By Kian, the cave, the trip itself. Especially at night, the thought of where I would actually be going occupied my mind.But standing here now, watching them treat the morning like any other morning, the w

Violet“They were close…at the start,” Rochwall said. “But I don’t know if they were really that close or could just relate to each other. But Elyx didn’t visit much…he had his own duties,” Rochwall told me.That was one thing I had been curious about. Everything had shown me that this so-called ‘bond’ between them, which Mom had supposedly destroyed, had been mostly one-sided.I couldn’t help but wonder if dad just relied on him until he found his own voice, and figured out he didn’t have to.“But you did visit?”“Me and Jane? We went plenty of times.”I listened to his every word. I had so much to ask that I didn’t even know where to start. At least he was talking, and out of everyone, he was the only one willing to talk.“Can you tell me something about the palace?” I asked desperately. “Anything?”Rochwall opened his mouth.“Wait, first!” I held my hand up before he could get a single word out.“Have you ever seen a strange blue rose anywhere there?” I asked. It only took me a sec

VioletHe kept going, and somewhere along the way I lost track of how much time had passed. I knew it had been a while because we had already driven past places I no longer recognized, and the farther we went, the darker the sky grew.Rochwall told me about how Adelaide loved pranking everyone and would persuade them to sneak out of the gates, while Claire would literally tremble the entire time. How she would drag them to the Common Rings, the canals beneath the bridges, in the hopes of seeing merfolk, certain they would show themselves if they stayed long enough, even though Alaric kept telling her they wouldn’t.I laughed at almost everything, and the picture of the two in my head grew clearer with every story.The last one brought tears of laughter to my eyes.It was the story of Dad allowing students to challenge him because he was too kind to say no, and letting them win because he was too kind to embarrass them. He always said he had nothing to prove.Mom, who was too competiti

VioletThe air got stuck in my throat. My chest rose and fell as I looked around the fog. My hand still held Kylan’s, only tighter now, out of fear that he might break.He felt Baelor’s other half…That meant the cave was here.Kian was here.My parents…Just as another groan escaped Kylan, a strange sensation spread through my body. I was not sure how to describe it or what it meant. Something like adrenaline, or maybe an urge to go toward whatever was calling out to us. Whatever it was, it felt too intense.Kylan’s hand pulled away from mine to grip the side of his head, and I yanked him to a stop right where we stood.“We are going back,” I decided. We could not go on like this anymore. I could not and would not push him further than this.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Nothing was worth seeing him go through this pain. Nothing.I could hear it in his breathing before he even tried to say something. He wanted to tell me he was fine like he always did. But he could barely speak. The pain was visibl
