Mated To The Lycan King Who Can’t Let Go의 모든 챕터: 챕터 111 - 챕터 120

The festival spilled into the capital with an overwhelming force, loud and hungry and impossible to contain. Evan and Nelson were hoisted high above the crowd, carried on shoulders as people cheered and shouted blessings. Rice rained down on them in glittering handfuls, thrown with laughter and good intentions, sticking to hair and clothes as symbols of prosperity and fertility. The air was thick with the smell of roasted meat and sweet glaze, smoke curling from street grills while vendors slashed prices and barked deals like it was the end of the world. Everyone was drinking—wine, ale, anything that burned going down—and the streets had dissolved into one massive, joyous riot. For once, it didn't feel like a powder keg. Levi was toasting with someone nearby, his head tipped back as he drank. I'd forgotten how good he looked like that—relaxed, dangerous, hot. We'd left Remus with Kyle and wandered off, ending up at a throwing game that was so obviously rigged it was insulting. I a

I stared at Levi like he'd just handed me a grenade and asked me to "hold it for a second." The way his shoulders sagged, the way his voice dropped into that tired sigh—the world was just constantly asking him to clean up someone else's mess. "Are you kidding me right now?" Levi sighed. Edward didn't look fazed. He never did. "Thankfully there have been no casualties. It's too methodical for it not to be a well funded organization. They left no evidence and no witnesses. And it's only targeting half breeds and other species yet leaving the werewolves alone," he said. "And it's in Derry, Red Fangs ally. Coincidentally it's on a shore with a direct line to the northern continent." Levi's eyes narrowed, as if he could physically smell the problem. "If it wasn't an organized effort they wouldn't be able to tell between wolves and half breeds and leave no trace of them behind." I rubbed my forehead, trying to keep my mind from spiraling. "I mean, we could just bring Kyle and see if th

I looked up from my suitcase and found Elise smiling at my door like she'd just walked into her own living room. "So you're on your way to Derry?" she asked. "I came to check up on you. What's with that look?" Her smile was too calm. Like she was waiting for me to react exactly the way she wanted. How shitty of her. I raised a brow. The more I understood Levi, the less I understood his mother. Not that I ever did in the first place. But Elise pissed me off—not because she mistreated Levi, but because she fooled me so completely. And I still didn't know why, but I had a feeling she wanted control over me. "I didn't think you'd come see me again," I said. "Why wouldn't I?" "Because you don't actually like me," I stated plainly. Elise's smile fell. "Not that it changes anything, but why?" "Well," she said smoothly, "I guess there's no reason to hide it since you know. You're good at politics, but your background is highly inferior to who I had in mind for Leviathan. The princess

"NOW!!" Kyle screamed it like a battle cry. The door exploded inward as he kicked it open and immediately tackled the man behind it, slamming him into the floor hard enough to rattle the walls. Whatever the man had been holding clattered away, skidding uselessly across the ground. Levi was already moving—he stepped in over them in one smooth motion and drew his pistol, arm steady, eyes murderous. "You'll never breathe again if you don't answer all my questions right now," Levi threatened. "Who are you with and why are you trafficking in my kingdom?" "Hahaha!" the hissed man laughed hysterically. "Of course I'm with the Imperial court of the northern continent!" "Why would your empire want a few halfbreeds?" Levi asked. "What is this box?" "A power that can make any beast submit!" "COVER YOUR EARS!!!" Kyle screamed. "ALL FOR THE GLORY OF THE NORTH!!! APERI CISTAM!!!" the hissed guy yelled. Light detonated. It swallowed the room whole, white and blinding, and then the ground va

I coughed, lungs burning from the blowback. That was so cool—so dangerous. And yet... no one saw it but me and the ones who died. No one was ever going to believe me! As the smoke thinned, reality settled in. The lab coat guy was gone. No body. No ashes. Just—gone. And then pieces of the two women began to rain down, charred remnants hitting the floor with soft, wet sounds. I killed someone again— No. They were already dead. They were begging for it. Get it together, Nyx. I forced my legs to move, hauled Levi's dead weight over my shoulder, and grabbed Kyle by the back of his jacket. I didn't have a third arm, so dragging would have to do. My boots slipped. I went down hard on something hot and slick. Burned torsos. Blood. Lots of it from unseen onlookers, now dead. Oh shit. Good thing I blew the room up. I would've been ambushed by like twelve people. I staggered back up and shoved through a doorway, nearly missing the hallway because of how narrow it was. Metal bars lined t
