Semua Bab The Lycan King's Forbidden Craving : Bab 141 - Bab 150

At the barracks, Amy excitedly scanned the warriors getting ready for the day's training, her eyes searching for Lylah in particular.When she didn’t see her, she approached a female warrior. “Isla, have you seen Lylah?”“No,” Isla shook her head. “I guess she’s in her room. Is she planning to always come late?” she sighed. “I was going to check on her, but do that for me, Amy.”“Oh, I have a message for her,” Amy smiled and immediately left to find Lylah.Amy jogged down the corridor, humming softly under her breath—a habit when she was nervous or excited. Today, it was both.As she neared Lylah’s chamber, she slowed, hearing thuds and angry grunts. Her smile disappeared.“Lylah?” she whispered, rushing to the room—and gasped at the sight.Lylah was crying so hard. The wall, her fists, and her forehead were bloody. She was hurting herself.“Lylah!” Lylah screamed her own name, slamming her head against the wall and cursing herself. “You fucking little pathetic bitch!!!”Thud! She hit

The two Lords glared at each other as if a deadly storm was about to break out. None spoke until a minute passed.Finally Valeroreth broke the silence.“A woman who bears their blood cannot be our future Queen. You and the King knew this fact, yet you allowed it—kept it a secret,” Valoreth said, lifting a brow. “How will the realm react when they find out? We both discovered weeks ago that the Ouroboros was behind the rogue attacks that took the lives of our people…”“Step. Away. From. The King's woman,” Lucas bit out, each word striking cold not wanting to hear more words.Valoreth fully turned in Lucas’ direction and started toward him. “Alright, Lucas,” he said, his hands still clasped behind him.Arianna spotted the book, and her eyes widened.That was Selene's book—the one she had read with Brigid. How in the world did it end up in his hands? This was bad.“The book,” she muttered, catching Lylah's attention. Lylah fixed her eyes on it and immediately realized that was the book S

A hug?Freezing in place, Lylah's heart skipped a beat at Arianna's unexpected request. She had expected a yell, a scolding, days of being ignored and constantly reminded how she had screwed everything up so badly. She had expected hatred, punishment-just anything to ease her guilt.A hug?Lylah's teeth gritted, eyes shut, and tears slipped free, rolling down her cheek as she slowly sank to her knees. Wracking sobs tore from her chest."Why, Aria?" her voice trembled like a broken storm. "I don't... deserve it. At least not until I'm-" her fist clenched against the marble floor. "Until I'm able to fix the mess I made. Please, get angry with me... You asked me not to cause trouble, and I did. I messed up big time. I wasn't careful enough, and now the trouble in the palace is because of me...""Says who?" Arianna asked, her voice prompting Lylah to slowly look up.Arianna approached, her footsteps light and gentle. Reaching her, she crouched down to her level."None of this is your fa

Breath hitching and heart pounding, Arianna stood before the large mirror, staring at her reflection. Her face was slightly pale, silver eyes swirling with disbelief and shock.On the night Duncan marked her—she had asked if he’d been ready. His reply had left her breathless."More than anything, Ari. More than anything."Gently, her hand reached for her belly, trailing her fingers softly. Selene's words echoed in her head:"You're carrying a little one, my lady."A little one. The King's little one."I'm pregnant," Arianna whispered to herself, gaze locked on her reflection as countless emotions swirled in her chest."The King's child is in me," she whispered again, her tone edged with disbelief, yet filled with bliss. The news was unexpected and overwhelming—she wasn't sure how to react.The mark on her neck hadn’t been completed, so how was it possible?Did it even matter?Arianna let out a shaky breath, tears burning behind her eyes. She was going to have a family—with the male sh

Even though Arianna had expected this, she still felt goosebumps. The Four Wings Emissaries were against her.A big problem.“The last Lord, the one from the West, will arrive tomorrow. That means the trial is in two days.”Selene gasped behind Arianna, the color draining from her face.Clenching her fists beneath the table, Arianna forced herself to remain calm.“I tried to convince them, but I suppose they’re just confused and worried,” Lucas said.“It's alright, my Lord. Thank you so much for the effort.” A tight smile spread across her lips as she lowered her gaze.“I’m thinking… maybe you should leave the Citadel and wait until the King’s arrival,” Lucas said, and Arianna looked up at him. “I’ll assign many soldiers to protect you no matter what. The trial would be easier if Duncan were here.”“I’ll stay,” Arianna said without missing a beat.“Aria,” Selene chimed in, shocked.“Leaving will prove them right—that I pose a threat. Why would I leave when I’ve done nothing wrong?”“T
