All Chapters of Reborn for the Lycan king : Chapter 231 - Chapter 240

Darren’s POVShe didn’t answer, just looked down.I tilted my head, studying her. For all her cunning, all her venom, I could still smell her fear. The same fear that used to amuse me now only irritated me.I could see tension in all of them. The uncertainty, the cracks beginning to form in what was supposed to be an unbreakable alliance.Because if Aria thought she could run from me, if she thought she could ruin my plans and live, she was about to learn just how wrong she was.I clenched my jaw, staring toward the door.“How dare she,” I whispered, my voice low, almost trembling with fury. “How dare she try to ruin everything I built. How dare she refuse to die.”“We’ll go to the pack,” I said finally, the words cutting through the tense silence like a blade. “We’ll take her father. Once word gets across to her that he’s been kidnapped, she’ll come out of her hiding herself.”Elara’s eyes widened. “You’re saying we should go after her father now?”I turned to her sharply. “Do you h

Darren’s POVThat was enough to make them flinch. “No, Darren,” one of them said hurriedly. “We.. we.. never mind.”“Good,” I said. “Then get out of the way.”They turned and opened the door to the chamber. The alpha stood near the window, his robe draped loosely over his shoulders. His face was pale, worn from age and worry.When he saw us, his brow furrowed. “Darren,” he said slowly, his voice low and careful. “What are you doing here?”“My king,” I said with mock respect. “Your daughter sent for you.”He hesitated. “Aria?”“Yes. She’s waiting for you at my house. She said it was important, that it was something about a matter concerning her safety and the pack.”He frowned deeper, suspicion flickering in his eyes. “She wants me to just leave without informing the council?”I gave a practiced sigh, the kind that made me look exhausted, sincere. “She didn’t want to cause a stir. You of all people should know Aria better.”He looked toward Elara. “And you? You’re with her too?”Elara

Darren’s POVThe gates were open, moonlight spilling through like a beacon. We sprinted through, our boots slamming against the dirt road. Behind us, more gunfire erupted, the echoes bouncing off the stone walls.I didn’t look back again. I couldn’t dare do that.Marv’s face flashed in my mind, the man who’d followed me since the beginning, loyal, fierce, unshakable was now gone in a heartbeat.He was supposed to see the end of this. He was supposed to watch us win, to watch me become a god! “Darren, Kellen!” Elara’s voice dragged me back. She was panting, her hair sticking to her face, her eyes wild with fear. “They are still behind us!”I risked a glance over my shoulder, and there he was. Ronan, running after us, his men fanning out like predators closing in on prey. The bastard was so fast. “Into the woods!” I shouted.We veered left, plunging into the dark. The trees swallowed us, branches clawing at our clothes as we ran. The sound of gunfire followed, duller now, but still to

Ronan’s POV I tilted my head, considering. “It’s not an insult if it’s true.”One of the men laughed quietly. The sound bounced around the room, sharp and cruel. I turned to him. “Watch him. If he talks, you hit him until he doesn’t.”Then I moved toward the adjoining room. I didn’t plan to, but something pulled me there. A whisper at the edge of my senses. A reminder that I still had one loose end left to cut.The door creaked open.And there Eros was. The mighty Lycan King, sprawled on the ground like a broken doll. His skin had gone pale, his lips almost gray. Sweat soaked his hair, and every few seconds his body twitched as the poison fought him from the inside. He wasn’t dead, but close. So very close and there was no way he could survive this. I crouched beside him, resting my elbows on my knees. “You’re still fighting, huh?” I said softly. “Always so stubborn. You don’t even know when to die.” I said. “You should’ve died when I burned them,” I whispered. “Would’ve saved u

Ronan’s POV They’d just created more reasons for me to gut them both.I tightened my gloves, exhaled once, and nodded for my men to follow. “We’re leaving, we need to get them.”“Yes, sir,” one said quickly, jogging to keep up.We made it out to the main corridor. I moved fast, every step echoing off the stone walls, every nerve in my body alive with fury.But a part of me couldn't stop thinking about Eros, “Why was he taking so long to die?” I muttered under my breath, shaking my head. “You’re lucky bullets don’t kill Lycans. Otherwise, I’d have put one between your eyes weeks ago.”We continued walking, there were more important things to handle.We were halfway to the gates when a voice called out behind me.“Ronan!”It was one of the guards stationed outside. He jogged over, breathing hard. “The council of elders have gathered. They’re waiting for you.”I frowned, that was the exact news I’d been waiting for even though I didn’t want it to obstruct my movement. “They want answ
