All Chapters of The Awaited Lycan Queen : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

The next day, Leo and the rest of the pack stood on alert. They had expected an attack from the unknown figures spotted at the edge of their territory. But instead, what arrived was far from hostile.To their surprise, the group requested a peaceful audience. Kaelen, the leader among them, calmly approached the head guard and explained the purpose of their visit. They wished to speak with the Alpha and Luna of the pack. Respecting the request but maintaining protocol, the guards instructed them to wait until the time of the council meeting.When the meeting commenced, Leo sat at the head of the long stone table, flanked by the elderly wolves and senior warriors of the pack. The atmosphere was tense, silent, watchful. At last, Kaelen and his group were brought in.Kaelen stepped forward and bowed respectfully. “I am Kaelen,” he announced. “I come from the Lycan community. I seek peace, not war.”Leo gave a nod, his sharp eyes fixed on the stranger. “Speak, then,” he said. “Why have you

The council meeting began shortly after Leo and Aliyah arrived. The Lycan guests were already present, seated with the elders, awaiting their entrance. Aliyah took her place beside Leo, her hands resting quietly, though her mind was far from calm. The Lycans visit, and the shocking truths they had shared about her origins, still echoed heavily within her.Kaelen rose to his feet and stepped forward, carrying the same composed presence he had shown the day before. His men followed behind him, silent, alert. As he reached the front, he paused at the threshold, offering a respectful nod to Leo before shifting his gaze to Aliyah.Leo’s gaze remained fixed on Kaelen. “State your purpose clearly,” he said. “You came for my Luna. Now speak—she deserves to hear everything from your own mouth.”Kaelen nodded once, then turned toward Aliyah.He gave a respectful bow. “Luna Aliyah,” he said, his deep voice resonating through the chamber. “You look exactly just like your mother. Thank you for be

Kaelen took the lead as they traveled deeper into the forest. Aliyah sat in a solid, enclosed carrier, surrounded by Lycan guards. A few wolves from Leo’s pack accompanied them — a quiet gesture of protection he had arranged, though he’d said little when she departed. His choice to send them spoke louder than words.The forest thickened around them, shadows stretching long beneath ancient trees. Hours slipped by in silence.By late afternoon, Kaelen raised a hand, signaling for the group to halt near a quiet stream bordered by a small clearing.“We’ll stop here for the night,” he said.Aliyah stepped out and stretched, the crisp air brushing her face, still and quiet.She crouched by the stream, dipping her fingers into the water. “It already feels like another world.”Kaelen sat across from her, watching the current. “Because it is. Everything changes the deeper we go.”She nodded slowly, then glanced around the camp. The stillness wasn’t uncomfortable — it was focused. Intentional.

Rylan paced angrily around his room, frustrated with Leo’s behavior. He had tried to talk to him several times, but nothing worked. It wasn’t that Rylan doubted Aliyah. He was certain she would never betray Leo. He had seen the love they shared.What truly bothered him was that Leo didn’t seem to trust her.Determined to try one last time, Rylan made his way to Leo’s chamber.When he entered, Leo was sitting on the floor in his usual messy state. But this time, he wasn’t drinking. He was lost in thought. Rylan approached quietly and tapped his shoulder.Leo flinched in surprise.“What brings you here?” Leo asked.“Who else would it be?” Rylan replied. “I’m here because I care. I can’t keep watching you turn into someone you’re not.”Leo stared at him, fear flickering in his eyes. “I have this feeling she won’t come back. She’s left before.”Rylan’s tone sharpened. “Your concern shouldn’t be whether she’s coming back. It should be whether she made it there alive.”Leo looked at him, ca

“I think it’s time I find a way to bring Aliyah back,” Leo muttered, his voice low but firm as he stared out the window of his study. “I hope she’s alright… wherever she is.”As the thought settled in his mind, the door slowly opened and Rylan walked in, his expression tense with worry.“Leo,” he began, his voice grave, “we have a problem.”Leo turned slowly, immediately sensing the weight behind Rylan’s tone. “What is it?”Rylan didn’t hesitate. “Bayle has escaped the cell.”For a moment, Leo could only stare, stunned. Then rage surged through him like fire.“Say that again,” he growled, stepping forward, eyes hard.“He’s gone,” Rylan said, his voice tense. “The guards found the cell empty this morning. No sign of how he got out. He just vanished.”“That’s impossible!” Leo snapped. “He was stripped of his wolf. He had no power, no strength left! That cell was built to hold the strongest of us. How could he escape?”Rylan remained silent, his jaw tight. He had no answers, just the sam
