All Chapters of The Lycans Twins Hidden Mate: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Morning came cold and grey. Kaden woke to find Alina already gone, Lena’s basket empty. He found them in the training yard, Alina sitting cross-legged on the ground with Lena in her lap. “What are you doing?” he asked. “What Mother Elara said. Teaching her through feeling.” Alina’s eyes were closed, her hands resting gently on Lena’s small chest. “I’m trying to show her what calm feels like. What control feels like.” “Is it working?” “I don’t know. Maybe?” Alina opened her eyes. “She’s not glowing at least. That’s something.” Kaden sat beside them. Lena looked at him with those dark, too-aware eyes. He touched her tiny hand, and she gripped his finger with surprising strength. “Nyx said the power is responding to threats,” Kaden said. “Maybe if she feels safe, it won’t activate as often.” “Or maybe it’ll just keep growing regardless and we’re buying time at best.” Alina’s voice was tired. “I don’t know what I’m doing, Kaden. I’m making this up as I go.” “That’s all any

The wolf moved fast. Faster than anything its size should move. It crossed the open ground in seconds, grey legs blurring, empty eyes fixed on Lena.“Get her out of here!” Kaden shouted, throwing himself between the wolf and Alina.He swung his sword. The blade passed through the wolf’s neck like cutting smoke. No resistance. No blood. The wolf didn’t even slow down.It leaped. Kaden caught it mid-air, his hands grabbing fur that felt like cold ash. They went down together, rolling across the dirt. The wolf’s jaws snapped at his face, those empty eyes inches from his own.Gregor’s sword came down hard, catching the wolf in the ribs. This time the blade connected, cutting through grey flesh. The wolf yelped, that wrong howl erupting from its throat, and twisted away from both of them.It landed twenty feet back, already healing. The wound in its side closed like water flowing backward.“Physical attacks don’t work,” Cassandra said, appearing at Kaden’s shoulder with a spear. “Or they w

It was made of rock. Or looked like it was. A bear-shaped thing the size of a house, its body composed of boulders and stone fitted together like puzzle pieces. Moss grew in the cracks. Small trees sprouted from its back.Its eyes were hollow caves, dark and empty like the grey wolf’s had been.“What is that?” someone whispered.“The second thing waking up,” Kaden said.The stone bear moved slowly. Each step shook the ground, sending tremors through the settlement. It walked with purpose, heading straight for the main hall.Straight for Lena.“Archers!” Alina shouted. “Target the joints! Between the stones!”Arrows flew. They hit the gaps between boulders, some sticking in the moss, others bouncing off harmlessly. The bear didn’t slow down.“Spears!” Gregor called. “Aim for the eyes!”Spears were thrown. They sailed into the hollow eye sockets and disappeared into darkness. No reaction from the bear.“It’s not alive,” Cassandra said. “You can’t kill what isn’t alive.”“Then how do we

Lena’s fever started on the second day.Kaden woke to find Alina already awake, her hand pressed against the baby’s forehead. Her face was tight with worry.“She’s burning up,” Alina said. “Her skin’s hot to the touch.”Kaden felt Lena’s forehead. The heat was immediate, concerning. Not the normal warmth of a sleeping baby. This was deeper, hotter, coming from inside.“Get Mother Elara.”Alina was already moving. She ran out of the room, her bare feet slapping against the wooden floor. Kaden lifted Lena carefully. The baby’s eyes were closed, her breathing rapid and shallow. Her small chest rose and fell too fast, like she couldn’t get enough air.Mother Elara arrived within minutes, still tying her robe. She took one look at Lena and cursed.“The power burn,” she said. “I was afraid of this. She used too much magic too fast. Her body’s trying to compensate.”“What does that mean?” Kaden asked.“It means the fever is her body’s way of burning off excess energy. Like a forge getting to

The creature took another step and the ground beneath it turned to glass. Melted and hardened in seconds, leaving a trail of destruction.“Archers!” Alina shouted. “Target the wings! Keep it grounded!”Arrows flew. Most burned up before reaching the creature. The few that made it through stuck into the wings but didn’t seem to cause damage.The creature opened its mouth and roared. Fire poured out, a stream of liquid flame that hit the northern wall and set it instantly ablaze.Wolves scattered, running from the burning timber. The creature advanced, each step methodical and deliberate. It wasn’t charging. It was walking. Taking its time.Like it knew they couldn’t stop it.“Water!” Gregor shouted. “Get water on those flames!”People rushed with buckets, trying to douse the fire. But the flames were wrong, burning without fuel, hot enough that water evaporated before touching them.Cassandra appeared at Kaden’s side. “Conventional weapons won’t work. That thing’s not from this world.”
