All Chapters of The Lycan King's Forbidden Craving : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

FLASHBACK"What do you mean, Thane? What do you mean that our first child died that night and you replaced her with the one you had with a silver-haired woman that saved your life in a war?" Ramona cried in tears."I'm sorry, I just didn't want you to feel depressed about losing our first child. I had no choice..." Alpha Thane gently held her shoulder. "I didn't want you to get hurt."Ramona yanked her arm away, her eyes blazing. "And then you bought the child of a woman you slept with while we were still considering courting?""She saved my life, and I didn't know what I was thinking. It was a full moon. I hadn't been mated to you back then, Mona. I'm sorry. I love you... I'm so sorry. It's in the past, and I just thought it was high time you knew the truth.""You could have told me! Do you think I'll treat her differently if I had known the truth?!" She made to leave, but Thane held her, pulling her into an embrace."I know, I just didn't want to hurt you. Please understand, wife. T

"Where were you?"Just that one question shattered the final thread Arianna had been holding onto—the last bit of strength keeping her from breaking under the weight of everything she had just learned.Her breath hitched, and her heart pounded so hard it felt like it might burst through her chest. She couldn’t bring herself to meet his eyes.Not because of the King's commanding presence, but because of how cruel the heavens had been to her."I..." Her lips trembled, barely forming the word.Where could she even begin?That she was born out of wedlock, a product of lust under a full moon.That her biological mother was Drakora, who hated her from the moment she was born?That everything she believed growing up was a lie?That her Ouroboros side was mated to King Duncan—who hated that bloodline and might end her for it?The thought of it reminded her of Kael's betrayal—a mate who had merely used her and ordered her death without batting an eye.The thought of King Duncan possibly doing

Nadia didn’t wait any longer. She turned to leave but then spotted Valkyrie’s personal tall guard in the distance. His gaze was unreadable as it stayed fixed on Nadia, seeming to communicate something silently through their eyes.Nadia walked toward him with her head lowered, and then she disappeared from sight.Arianna’s gaze remained intensely focused on the guard as he turned to leave. She noticed his right wrist was missing—the same hand that bastard used to hit her back then.The thought of Nadia lingered in her mind as Arianna waited for Nyra to return with her sister.Soon, they came. A small smile graced Arianna’s lips as her eyes met Lylah’s."I’m sorry I sent you away. It wasn’t your fault," Arianna apologized after explaining everything Selene had told her three days ago. She didn’t mention Eryndor or the fact that Selene was an Ouroboros too. "You were simply doing what our parents said, and you were only ten. I should thank you for not treating me differently, despite kn

"Did you hear it?” Valkyrie asked her maid, her eyes focused on her own reflection in the mirror.“What, my lady?” her personal maid asked, concern lacing her voice."The moans. The cries of pleasure. The creaking of table beneath them... The sound of a woman taking my place. Did you hear everything, Cassia?" Valkyrie questioned.Cassia who had saw the king with his slave earlier with the mistress, bit down her lip, not knowing what to say."My life has never been my own. I've always tried to be his perfect daughter, but it was never enough. My mother died because she wasn’t perfect for him—I don’t want the same life," Valkyrie began lighting the candle set before the mirror before her. "That is why I’m trying so hard. And now that I am this close, this damn close to satisfying his wishes by becoming the Grand Queen of this Citadel, some bitch comes to snatch it away from me. Whether I live or die... My doom is certain ."The maid’s heart dropped to her feet. She hesitated before whis

“Excited, huh? I hope that look stays on your face as we go on,” Lucas commented.Lylah bowed deeply, wearing a bright smile. “Thank you, oh great Lord Lucas!”Lucas’s face remained stoic. “Get back to your chamber. I’ll let you know when training begins, but for now…” He tossed her a dagger, and she caught it swiftly. “Get used to that. Learn it. Master it until it becomes part of you.”Lylah gazed down at the dagger with a smile, her eyes lingering on every detail. It was crafted from fine, sharp moonsteel; its hilt wrapped in black leather. It was slightly heavy, but with enough practice, she was sure it would feel light in her hand.She looked up to thank him, but he was gone—as if he had never been there.••••••••••••{OUTSIDE THE PALACE... INN}“Drink! Drink! Drink!” The cheers grew louder at the inn packed with rowdy patrons. Tankards, with a thick scent of ale, slammed against the wooden table as two men competed against one another.Duncan and another built man, like an ox.
