All Chapters of The Lycan's Marked: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

ELARA“No, burn her now! Don’t just stand there like a fool!” Lilith screamed, pointing at me like I was some broken thing she needed gone.The guard flinched at her voice. I saw it. I saw the way his eyes shifted quickly, like he wasn’t sure if he should obey or ask questions. He looked at her again, then back at me. And then he stepped forward.He raised his hand, maybe to grab my arm or shove me toward the fire, I don’t know. But the moment his hand touched me just barely brushed my shoulder, he went flying backward like he’d been hit by something heavy. He fell straight on his butt with a loud thud, his helmet rolling to the side as he groaned in confusion.I blinked.He blinked too.We both looked at each other like, “What just happened?”And then, I started laughing.Not because it was funny, really, but because I didn’t know what else to do. It was that kind of laugh that starts in your chest and just slips out before you can stop it. That kind of laugh that says, I don’t care

ELARAThe flames still danced behind us, but everything else felt quiet. My hand was still in Alaric’s. His grip was firm but not forceful. I didn’t want to move. I didn’t want to speak. I was trying to understand what had just happened.The voice from the fire kept repeating in my mind."The claiming is not complete."Alaric stood still, but his body slowly tensed. I followed his gaze and saw her.Lilith.She looked scared. Her eyes were jumping from side to side like she was searching for a way out. Her fingers were twitching by her side. Alaric took a step forward. Her face twisted and she ran, hiding behind Lucius like she was innocent.I saw his shoulders rise.He was not smiling.I touched his arm. "Alaric, please don’t. Just leave her."He didn’t stop walking.Lucius stepped in front of Lilith and raised his hand.“If you’re taking her away,” he said, “then you’ll have to fight me first.”The crowd gasped. Some even backed away a little. My heart dropped.“What?” I whispered.A

ELARAIt's been two days since my last encounter with Alaric and it was a bliss. For the first time in my life, I didn't feel the need to be scared or move around in fear.I felt… complete and there was absolutely nothing that can beat that.I know for a fact that war is coming. After what Alaric did in Lucius pack, I don't think he would let it slide easily knowing how evil Lucius is and at the same time, I doubt he would want to cross the line because of Alaric.I've been having visions of dreams, I don't know what to call them. It was a wolf, a white one that keeps begging me to free it. Just like the same dream I had back in my pack. I had told Kaela about it. “What does it mean?” I pondered. Did it have anything to do with the way I was feeling? Was the white wolf connected to the baby I was carrying? What else did I need to find out?I had so many thoughts in my mind. I had no idea what was going on, but I was sure it was something serious. I need to discover more. I need to k

Elara POV I waited for him to return, my heart drumming with excitement. I wondered what we were going to do, and I had no idea. As I pondered on it, I took a seat on the bed, and just then, the door opened. I turned my head towards the direction of the sound, and the moment I sighted him, I felt my eyes relax. For a few minutes, I noticed how disturbed he was, how worried he was, and how uneasy he was, but then he quickly switched back, offering me a smile. “Are you alright? You seem a bit–” “Don't worry about me, Elara. I'm fine.” I squinted my eyes. For some reason, I didn't want to believe him, but I decided not to push it. I didn't want it to be like I was forcing him to do anything. Besides, there was already a lot that was going on that I was getting to know, and he was still probably struggling with protecting me here. “So have you planned the activity you want to go on?” He asked, and I pressed my lips together. Frankly speaking, I wasn't given a lot of chances in my li

Alaric pov“Are you sure you're alright? You haven't started eating…” Ragnar and Mira said to me, making me sigh.“I'm not taking a bite until she arrives. I know she might be mad at me, but that isn't enough reason for me to let her be. I want to show her that I care about her, and still don't want her asking me her questions.” Silence reigned, and I was calmed for a while. “Maybe you should go check on her, or send a guard, but you can't sit here hoping she'll come over. Don't you get it?” Mira explained, earning a glare from me. However, Ragnar was quick to intervene. “She didn't do anything wrong, you know? It's best to go on your own. She might have told the maid to inform you she was going to be here just to make sure that you don't bug her. Go check up on her by yourself, or better still, I can do it for–” I growled, and then stood up from the table. I had already gotten enough of both of them. “But you do know they could be right. You left her all alone, and now you expect
