Semua Bab Fated to My Brother in-law, The Lycan King: Bab 311 - Bab 320

LUCIAN Lucian did not slow down.The battlefield thinned behind him, dissolving into a restless current of survivors moving in every direction at once, some dragging the wounded, others shouting orders that overlapped and clashed. Smoke still hung low, clinging to the air like something unwilling to leave.“Where is he?” Lucian grabbed the nearest soldier by the arm, his grip firm enough to stop him mid-step.The man blinked, disoriented. “Who—?”“The Lycan King.”Recognition flickered instantly.“The King’s tent,” the soldier said quickly, pointing toward the far stretch of the encampment. “He’s at the edge, furthest end. Command sector.”Lucian released him without another word and ran.The camp came into view gradually, rising out of the chaos like a fragile attempt at order. Tents lined in uneven rows, some collapsed, some hastily reinforced. Healers worked in the open where space allowed, hands stained, movements sharp and efficient. The wounded filled every available corner, lo

LUCIAN The tension didn’t disappear. It only got worse.Lucian stood where he had stepped back, shoulders squared, gaze steady on Elias as if the distance between them meant nothing at all. “You can accept it,” Lucian said, his voice calm in a way that made it more unyielding, “or you can fight it.”Elias didn’t move.Lucian held his gaze. “But it doesn’t change anything. I’m going to the battlefield.”The words were not raised. They didn’t need to be.They landed with finality.Elias’ expression darkened immediately, rage flashing beneath the control he had been holding together piece by piece. “You’re not—”“I am,” Lucian cut in.That stopped him.“I didn’t come all this way to stand behind you and watch,” Lucian continued, quieter now but no less resolute. “And I’m not leaving. Not now. Not later.”Elias took a step forward, slow, deliberate. “You don’t get to make that call.”Lucian met him halfway without thinking.“I already did.”The air between them tightened again, coiling

LUCIAN Night settled over the camp without peace.It came heavy, thick with the scent of smoke and iron, carrying the low murmurs of a battlefield that refused to rest even after the fighting had thinned. Torches burned along the perimeter, their flames bending in the restless wind, casting long, unsteady shadows across the rows of tents.Lucian lay still, staring up at the canvas above him.Sleep did not come.It lingered at the edges, distant and unreachable, held back by the weight of everything that had happened—everything that still hadn’t been resolved.Elias’ absence pressed into the silence more than anything else.The space beside him remained untouched.Cold.Elias had left the tent earlier and just disappeared, probably venting out his anger somewhere. Lucian turned his head slightly, eyes tracing the empty stretch of fabric where Elias should have been. His jaw tightened faintly, but he didn’t move to get up. Didn’t go searching.He already knew.Elias was not here becau

LUCIAN The field did not feel like the same place Lucian had seen before.It was different with smoke rolling low across the ground in thick waves, breaking only when bodies moved through it. The earth was no longer earth in any familiar sense. It was layered with churned mud, broken stone, the remains of repeated impact, and bodies.Sound came in fragments, roars, and shouts cut short.Then the sudden silence that followed people dying.Lucian stepped into fight without hesitation running down the hill from the tent. The moment he crossed the threshold of the front line, his breathing slowed, and his senses sharpened.A soldier swung toward him immediately, confused, reactive, but Lucian moved faster. He did not meet the strike head-on. He shifted slightly to the side, letting the blade pass too close for comfort, then drove his palm into the man’s chest with controlled force.Not enough to kill but enough to collapse his breath.The soldier fell back, stunned rather than dead.Luc

ELIASThe battlefield smelled of smoke, burnt bodies, and blood.It always did, in the end. No matter how many wars Elias had fought, no matter how many years had carved themselves into his bones, the smell never changed. It clung to everything, to the soil, to the sir, to the fur and flesh of his men.Elias stood at the ridge overlooking the valley, his massive frame a silhouette against the evening sky. The last light of the sun faded out in the sky in streaks of orange and amber. His armor was dented at the shoulder, a thin line of dried blood tracing his jaw from a cut that had already begun to seal itself. His dark eyes swept the field below with the practiced calm of a king who had long since made peace with the cost of war.Behind him, his soldier murmured to one another in low voices, exchanging counts of the fallen, the wounded, the retreating enemy line. He heard them, cataloged every number without turning. He had always been able to do that, split himself in two, one part
