All Chapters of The Lycan king's Secret Triplets: I Ran From My Mate and Hid: Chapter 61 - Chapter 67

The sound came again.Low.Ancient.Breathing.It echoed through the tunnels like the mountain itself had become alive.Every wolf froze instantly.Marcus lifted his torch higher, though the trembling flame barely touched the darkness ahead.“That,” he said quietly, “does not sound asleep.”No one answered him.Because they were all thinking the same thing.Aria stood perfectly still at the center of the tunnel, her pulse thundering painfully against her ribs as the third triplet stirred harder than ever before.Not fear.Recognition.The realization made her stomach twist.Ronan moved closer immediately.“We turn back,” he said firmly.Aria looked toward him sharply.“You know we can’t.”“Yes,” he growled. “We can.”Another deep sound rolled through the tunnels.Closer this time.The walls vibrated beneath it.Dust rained softly from the ceiling above.Garrick’s expression darkened.“We’re running out of time.”Marcus nodded grimly.“If that thing fully wakes before we understand wha

Silence consumed the chamber after the vision faded.Even the mountain seemed to pause.Aria remained in Ronan’s arms, trembling slightly as fragments of impossible memories continued echoing through her mind.Not hers.Never hers.But somehow connected to the child growing inside her.The third triplet pulsed softly now.Not distressed.Calm.Almost relieved.Ronan held her tighter.“What did you see?” he asked quietly.Aria swallowed hard.Because saying it aloud would make it real.Still—She answered.“The child…” Her voice shook slightly. “It isn’t just connected to the entity.”Marcus frowned.“Then what is it?”Aria slowly lifted her eyes toward the silver abyss below.“It’s connected to what the entity used to be.”The chamber went still.Malrik’s expression darkened immediately.“No…”Aria nodded faintly.“When it split itself apart… one part refused.”Ronan’s body stiffened.“Refused what?”Aria’s chest tightened painfully.“To become whole again.”Silence hit harder than an

The ancient creature stopped moving.For several seconds, the only sound inside the chamber was the distant rumble of the mountain and the ragged breathing of the wolves who had survived its awakening.Ronan stood between the creature and his family, his silver sword raised. Blood trickled down his arm, staining the sleeve of his black shirt, but he refused to retreat.“You said you wanted to end suffering,” he repeated. “But you cannot create peace by taking away everyone's freedom.”The enormous creature tilted its head. Its silver eyes glowed with a strange, almost human sadness.“Freedom,” it whispered. “Such a fragile word.”“It means nothing if people cannot choose their own lives.”“And what has choice given you, King Ronan? Enemies who want your mate dead? A kingdom divided by fear? Children who will never know peace?”Ronan's expression hardened.“Those are my burdens to carry. Not yours to solve by destroying everyone else.”For the first time, the creature said nothing.Ari

“The silver one is lying, too.”The words echoed inside Aria's mind.She stared down at her youngest son, her heart pounding so violently that she could barely hear the chaos surrounding her. The baby's silver eyes remained fixed on hers, but there was something different about them now.Something aware.Something afraid.“What do you mean?” she whispered.The baby opened his mouth, but no ordinary infant's cry emerged.He does not want to save us, Mother. He wants to become us.Aria went cold.Across the shattered chamber, the silver creature staggered backward. Its enormous body flickered, revealing glimpses of something darker beneath its glowing exterior.“Do not listen to it,” the creature warned.Ronan immediately stepped beside Aria.“What did the child say?”Aria looked at him, struggling to find the words.“He says the silver creature is lying.”Malrik, who had been examining the ancient markings near the broken wall, suddenly lifted his head.“What?”“The baby says the creat
