All Chapters of The Prince Of The Lycans My Mate Dark Secrets: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

The morning sun shone through the large windows of Silver More’s palace, creating long shadows on the chilly stone floors. The air inside was heavy with unshared feelings, and Ivy stood in the center of the throne room, her heart beating fast. She looked at the floor, but she could feel Jayden beside her, always reminding her of how much had changed.The truth was revealed clearly and harshly in the rooms the night before. Aelin’s family background, the prediction, and the betrayal were all revealed and clear now. As Ivy stood beside Jayden, a pressure in her chest reminded her that the real struggle was only starting.Jayden's quietness was overwhelming. He had hardly said anything since their argument because his feelings were too strong to talk about in front of the court. His eyes would sometimes glance at her, but they never stayed there or looked gentle like they used to.A lot of pain separated them, and Ivy understood that she couldn’t just hope it would disappear. She had to

The atmosphere in the council chamber was very tense.Jayden stood at the front of the curved table with his arms straight at his sides and his jaw tight. His eyes which used to be bright and full of hope now looked tired and filled with disappointment. Ivy’s revelation had caused a deep emotional struggle within him.The fact that Aelin was his daughter should have made him happy. Instead, it revealed feelings of anger, sadness, and a troubling vulnerability that caused the whole pack to look at their leader with caution.Elias sat quietly to the right of Jayden with his fingers interlocked and a neutral expression on his face. The other council members looked at each other anxiously and quiet whispers spread among them like strong winds. Jayden’s roar had already quieted them once but they were not ready for the trouble that was about to come.“The doors slowly opened with a creaking sound.”“The herald declared ‘Prince Caelum of House Vale.’”Jayden squinted his eyes. “What is he d

Jayden stood still, arms crossed, his jaw clenched so tightly his teeth ached. Ivy remained at Aelin’s side, brushing silver strands from her daughter’s brow. Aelin’s eyes fluttered open briefly, the same silver of the moon reflected in her irises, just like they had during her fever. Just like Seraphine had warned.Cassian, seated a few feet away, hadn’t spoken since Jayden had dismissed his apology. The warrior’s usually sharp eyes were cast low, guilt anchoring his shoulders. Though Ivy had forgiven him—embraced him, even—Jayden’s rage had not softened. Not yet.The large arched doors creaked open, breaking the silence. All eyes turned as a woman entered, tall, cloaked in violet robes stitched with moon runes that shimmered faintly as she moved. Her silver braid swept across her shoulder, and in her hands, she carried a staff crowned with an opal orb glowing faintly.Seraphine’s voice trembled as she stood to greet her. “Seer Maerra.”The name rang out like a spell. Even Jayden fli

The forest was full of soft sounds.A thick fog hung low to the ground, wrapping around the man's black boots as he stood quietly at the edge of the cliff. From his high spot above Silver More, Prince Caelum looked down at the palace lights twinkling in the night sky like the last sparks of a fading fire. His red cloak waved gently in the wind, and his silver eyes, similar to Aelin’s but much colder, narrowed when he saw Jayden and Ivy standing on the palace balcony.“Their energy felt strong and in sync with each other.”He could feel it—like the final click of a lock falling into place. The bond had reawakened.“Fools,” Caelum whispered quietly, barely moving his lips.“Behind him, a bent-over figure came out from the trees.” Dressed in robes made of bones, the old seer Kareth bent down low.“It is done, my prince. The bond is whole.”Caelum did not turn. His jaw clenched, eyes still fixed on the two figures in the distance.“She chose him,” he said quietly. “Even after all the betra

The chilly wind blew through the trees as Jayden and Cassian ventured further into the Cursed Wilds, an old forest changed by dark magic and filled with many hidden secrets. Each step felt heavy because I knew that Ivy and Aelin’s lives were in great danger.Jayden’s silver eyes scanned the tall trees around him, and he felt alert and ready for anything. His wolf let out a low growl, feeling the bad energy close by. Cassian stood next to him, calm and focused, with his sword ready to attack at any time.Cassian whispered, “This is the spot where Elias set up his base during the last war.” “Dark energy flows out of the stones.”Jayden nodded with his jaw tight. “That means we’re heading into a trap.” “I’m not concerned.” “I will search this place thoroughly if necessary.”The connection he felt with Ivy was strong and intense, blending with his urgent need to locate Aelin and make sure she was safe. The idea of his daughter being scared and alone drove him to move quicker and go deeper
