Lycan Legacy: Between Love And Legacy のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

The week flew by, and that night would kick off the king’s birthday celebration, which would stretch into the early hours, the official date of his birthday. During that week, Perla had been a bit hard on Stella, but Brian always made a point to stay close and defend her from his mother or anyone else.Perla was thrilled with all the preparations and the arrival of some guests from afar, but Andriel wasn’t sharing her enthusiasm. His headache was worse that morning, his patience even thinner, and he couldn’t imagine how he’d manage to talk to so many people.He tried to keep his mind busy with the meeting scheduled with some Alphas and leaders before the party. The meeting was set for that morning, and he hoped Uriel would arrive early so he could vent a bit.Andriel and his brother headed to the meeting location, while Uriel, Philip, and their mates were already on their way. Philip had left early that morning, leaving Taylor behind to handle some things, as he wasn’t needed at the m

The two lingered in the office for a while, giving Andriel time to compose himself. Brian promised they’d discuss the matter after the party but stressed the importance of returning to avoid raising their mother’s suspicions.“It’s almost midnight, so it’ll officially be your birthday soon, and I’m sure she wants you there. Your wolf’s calmer now, so keep up appearances until the party’s over.”Andriel nodded in agreement, and they both headed back to the celebration. The king couldn’t help scanning the room for Taylor, spotting him near his Alpha, smiling casually. He looked away before Taylor could notice his gaze.Brian caught where his brother’s eyes had drifted and called him over to join their mother. They made their way to a spot in the ballroom, but Brian wasn’t pleased with what he saw. Stella was holding a tray, serving guests.“Why is Stella serving the guests, Mother?” Brian asked, wondering if it was her idea.“She wanted to feel useful, so I gave her a task.”“Mother, we

At the end of the birthday song, one of the men Taylor had seen in the hallway approached the cake, cut a slice, and handed it to the king, saying he should take the first bite. Taylor glanced at the other man again, and the expression on his face made Taylor uneasy and concerned.“Something’s wrong with that cake,” Daimon said in Taylor’s mind.He wasn’t sure if this worry stemmed from their bond, but the thought of Andriel getting hurt in any way troubled him. Just as the king was about to taste the cake, Taylor acted on impulse.“Wait! Don’t eat that,” Taylor called out, stepping forward from the crowd.All eyes turned to him, including those of his friends, who were clueless about what was going on.“Who are you? And why can’t the king eat it?” Perla demanded.The royal guards began to move around the room. Philip noticed and edged closer to where his Beta stood, ready to step in if needed. Brian found Taylor’s words odd and, knowing what Taylor meant to his brother, watched his r

Brian searched for Taylor, hearing voices and heading in their direction. As he turned the corner into the hallway, he spotted the person he was looking for but noticed that his brother’s friend had a knack for getting into trouble. Taylor’s expression wasn’t exactly welcoming, and as Brian approached, he recognized the Lycan talking to his future brother-in-law.“Is there a problem here?” Brian asked as he got closer.The Lycan arguing with Taylor sized Brian up and met his gaze.“Nothing much, just greeting my cousin’s benefactor.”Taylor’s jaw tightened, clearly annoyed by Ian’s lie and the fact that he was related to Andriel.“If I didn’t know you so well, Ian, I might’ve bought that,” Brian said. “But I know you well enough, and from the look on Taylor’s face, I can tell you’ve said or done something unpleasant.”Brian was aware that Ian had always coveted the king’s position, and over the years, he’d heard whispers that Ian considered himself the best candidate for the role, esp

Taylor left the hall and headed to the bathroom to try cleaning his shirt. Anger consumed him; he punched the wall and stared at his reflection in the mirror.“I know you’re angry, and so am I,” Daimon said, “but there’s a lot at stake here, so we’ll have to swallow our rage.”Taylor closed his eyes and took a deep breath. For him, this party was over, and he just wanted to leave. All he could think about was talking to Philip, letting him know he was leaving, and then getting out. Too furious to think straight, he didn’t even consider speaking to or saying goodbye to Andriel.Taylor stepped out of the bathroom and, to his surprise, found the king waiting for him, along with Hugo.“Your Majesty, is there something I can help with?” Taylor asked, unable to read Andriel’s expression.Andriel glanced at Taylor’s stained shirt, then met his eyes again.“Are you really okay? Because, to be honest, I didn’t buy your answer back there.”Taylor sighed at the king’s question. He was trying to
