All Chapters of Lycan Legacy: Between Love And Legacy: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

The atmosphere was heavy. Some women wept as the coffin was slowly lowered into the grave. Perla’s friends were deeply shaken, and though Andriel and Brian felt the sting of loss, they still couldn’t openly express their grief in public.Andriel’s ex-girlfriend, who had once pretended to be his Luna, tried to approach to offer comfort, but Taylor’s presence made her back off. The council already knew they were mates, and it made no sense to let her stand by Andriel’s side now.Stella didn’t attend the funeral, staying at the mansion at Andriel’s request to care for his son. After recent events and betrayals, he couldn’t entrust his child to anyone he didn’t fully trust.Andriel had done his best to keep his son’s existence a secret, at least until the council meeting. The council, however, showed barely concealed impatience even as the burial was underway. As soon as it ended, several members approached, casting suspicious glances at Taylor before speaking."Are we having our meeting

Andriel strode toward Taylor, who stood frozen, staring at him. Out of the corner of his eye, Andriel noticed mixed reactions around them—some clearly relishing his public reprimand. As he drew closer, he intensified his scent, enveloping his agitated mate in a wave of comfort."You need to learn to trust me and my feelings," Andriel said firmly, before cupping Taylor’s face and pulling him into a kiss.The onlookers’ reactions varied: some began murmuring, indignant, while others found the scene amusing. Lawrence, standing behind Taylor, averted his gaze, visibly uncomfortable.When Andriel broke the kiss, he gave a faint smile, while Taylor still looked at him, bewildered. Andriel laced his fingers with Taylor’s and led him to where he’d been seated earlier. He gestured for Taylor to sit in the chair beside his. For those already outraged by the kiss, this act was an even greater affront.“That chair belongs to the Queen of the Lycans. Are you really going to let this werewolf sit t

Taylor relaxed his body, signaling he wouldn’t resist and would behave, prompting Andriel to finally release him. Without a word or a glance back, Taylor opened the door and left. Though he understood the need for the punishment, the frustration of having his pleasure denied by Andriel still gnawed at him.The two left the building and headed straight to Andriel’s house. During the drive, Taylor stayed silent while Andriel took a few calls. Andriel glanced at him several times, noticing his irritation. Despite the love he felt for Taylor, he knew it was necessary for him to understand that there were rules to follow and that everyone was watching them.When they arrived, they noticed some activity in the house. Hugo explained that they were preparing the baby’s room, where Taylor had previously stayed. Upon hearing this, the two went upstairs to check on the progress. Taylor’s belongings had already been moved to Andriel’s room, and with a few changes, the space was starting to take s

The two made love for a while longer after their first time. Afterward, Andriel rested his head on Taylor’s chest, and they lay in silence, savoring the moment together. Taylor ran his fingers through Andriel’s hair, his mind clouded with swirling thoughts."You’re awfully quiet," Andriel said, curiosity in his voice. "What’s on your mind?""The ceremony," Taylor admitted, revealing his concern. "Do you think they’ll accept it? You saw how they reacted at the meeting."Andriel propped himself up on his elbows, fixing Taylor with a steady gaze."I know many still resist," he said, "but I made it clear I won’t tolerate any more interference. If it’s just the two of us during the ritual, that’s enough for me. What matters is making our bond official, strengthening our union."Taylor felt a surge of joy at Andriel’s determination. The fact that he was resolute about moving forward with the ritual, without hiding their relationship, filled him with happiness."When are you planning to hold

The signal was given, and everyone took their places. Brian was already waiting at the altar, eagerly anticipating Stella’s arrival, while Andriel and Taylor entered together, hand in hand. Though Andriel outranked Taylor in the hierarchy, walking side by side was a clear statement that he didn’t see Taylor as lesser. To Andriel, Taylor was his equal, and he wanted them to be seen as such by all—not just as a couple, but as rulers.At the altar, they stood shoulder to shoulder, turning to witness Stella’s entrance. As she walked down the aisle, illuminated by the flickering torchlight, Brian’s smile widened. His heart raced, and his inner wolf howled in ecstasy. To him, Stella looked more breathtaking and radiant than ever.Stella’s dress was simple yet elegant, fitted to her body down to her knees before gently flaring out, with a long train that trailed across the grass, strewn with rose petals. In that moment, she was the epitome of beauty and grace. Brian’s heart swelled with prid
