All Chapters of Stealing the Heart of the Lycan King: Chapter 191 - Chapter 200

QUEEN ADELINETHAT EVENINGQueen Adeline decided that tonight, she was going to take a stroll to clear her head. With everything going on in the pack, she just needed a moment to breathe. To think deeply.So, she strolled into the woods that surrounded the private stream. As she walked, she felt a strong sense of nostalgia and a small, sad smile played on her lips. She was reminded of the late king, her mate. They always bathed and spent time together here most time, enjoying nature and letting their wolves run free. All that was before the tragedy that struck their family—Raya’s death. After that, Adeline had become a shadow of herself, although she believed she had done her best to hide her grief away from everyone else. She was the queen. Her son and the entire pack needed her. She couldn’t afford to show any form of weakness. So, after Raya’s death, she barely spent time with the late king again until his death. And she regretted that she had been so closed up and in her shell,

ELOISE THE NEXT MORNING I halted my car in front of Cross’s apartment, taking a second to reconsider my decision before alighting from the car and entering into his apartment building.Once I reached the door of his apartment, I rang the doorbell, not giving myself a second to stall. Just in case I have a change of heart. I waited for the door to be attended to.For the past two days, I had been unsettled. All thanks to Cross and Nyx. After that day at the beach and my conversation with Calantha, I couldn’t help thinking deeply about those two. Thoughts like… what if Cross had actually changed into a person now? What if I was just being over protective, and the only thing standing between my best friend and the guy she wants? Although I still could not comprehend how Nyx had suddenly gotten close to Cross, enough that the both of them could be harboring feelings for each other, I would hate to appear as the friend who deprived my best friend of her desires and for no good reasons

CALANTHAA MOMENT LATERI followed Chief Priestess Tara into her cottage deep in the woods.When we arrived, she paused near the doorway to take off her cloak and shoes. I lingered behind her, letting my eyes scan the space. As usual, the house smelled thick of incense and herbs, a blend of dried roots and burning sage. Strange objects hung on the walls—old scrolls, celestial symbols, animal horns, and crystals that shimmered faintly in the low light.A wave of nostalgia hit me hard, stirring up memories. My hand moved to my shoulder, right where Kaiden had marked me. This was the very place we’d sealed our deal. Where everything between us had begun.Now it could be the place that ends us.“You want a drink, my Luna?” Tara asked, her voice soft behind me. She was mixing herbs into a cup.I turned to her and shook my head with a tight-lipped smile. “I’ll pass, thank you.”She shrugged and took a sip herself. Then she came closer, slower, her eyes scanning my face with quiet concern.“

CALANTHA Twins were supposed to look alike, right? Or at least share a few visible similarities.But in my case with Lysandra… there was nothing. Nothing at all.Sure, we had similar powers, but everything else was completely different. From our faces to our eyes, from our voices to the way we carried ourselves. There was just no way Lysandra could be my twin. I refused to believe it.Tired of crouching in the tight, dusty space filled with cobwebs, I tried to shift. My legs were cramping, and the urge to march out there and confront Hera burned strong inside me.But her next words froze me cold.“Now that you know more than you were ever meant to,” she said calmly to Tara, “why should I keep you alive?”My heart slammed against my chest. Loud. Hard. Painful.Hera was still sitting, her eyes fixed on Tara, who looked absolutely terrified.“You’re close to the Lycan king,” she continued. “He trusts you. Listens to every word you say. We can’t have you whispering secrets in his ear no

KAIDEN“You will do no such thing!” I shouted, my voice echoing off the high stone walls as I made to charge at Hera.But before I could take a step, the vampire king; King Rufus, was suddenly in front of me, blocking my path.“I would advise you stay right where you are, Lycan King.” He said firmly, his tone still respectful. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn’t have taken his warning seriously. But this wasn’t just any gathering. This was the Council of Alphas—the only body with authority over my crown and throne. Which explained perfectly why that bastard Slade had gone to the extent of calling them here. He knew it was the only way to challenge me.Jaw tight, my insides burning with helpless rage, I forced myself to stay rooted, my fists clenched at my sides. I could only stand and watch as Hera moved closer to Calantha, who still knelt on the ground, drenched in blood from a murder she never committed.She looked so small. So broken.But I didn’t need proof or an explanation.
