All Chapters of The Lycan King's Captive: Chapter 181 - Chapter 188

Chapter 179: Blood and BondsElena's POVThe parchment trembled in my hands as I read Darius's words again. My little sister. Elise. The girl who had been nothing but kind to me since I'd arrived at the Western Court, despite every reason to hate me."Absolutely not." Kieran's voice cut through my spiraling thoughts. "You are not going anywhere near him alone.""He has Elise." I looked up at him, then at King Theron, Alpha Frostbite, and the others watching me with varying expressions of concern and calculation. "What choice do I have?""Every choice," King Theron said firmly. "Darius has committed treason. He attacked the Gathering, and violated sacred law. We can surround that tower with warriors…""And he will kill her the moment he sees them coming." I shook my head, my mind already racing through possibilities. "He wants me.""So you will just hand yourself over?" Marcus demanded. "Elena, you are smarter than this.""I know." I met Kieran's eyes, and something passed between us.

Chapter 181: JudgmentElena's POVThe Grand Hall had never been so silent.Three days had passed since the tower. Three days of healers fussing over my injuries, three days of listening to kieran and marcus whispering under hushed tone while I recovered. Now I stood in the center of that vast hall, watching as the remaining rulers of the four courts assembled to deliver judgment.King Theron sat on his throne, his expression carved from stone. To his right, Alpha Frostbite occupied the seat designated for the North, his pale eyes cold and merciless. The Alphas from the Southern courts and the five judges flanked them. Every region was wholly represented except the Eastern region.Everybody in the hall had their eyes on the culprit.Darius who was knelt in chains before them.He looked nothing like the polished, arrogant man who had orchestrated an attack on the Continental Gathering. His clothes were torn and dirty. His face was bruised from his capture. But his eyes... his eyes stil

Chapter 183: Home to FireElena's POVI should have felt relieved.The Gathering was finally behind us. Darius had been imprisoned awaiting judgment. My identity had been revealed to the whole 4 kingdoms. The conspiracy that had nearly torn the Western kingdom apart has been dismantled.I was exhausted. Every bone in my body ached, and the bruises from the tower still throbbed beneath my clothes despite the healers' work. All I wanted was to reach Theron's capital, collapse into a proper bed, and figure out what being Princess Amara's daughter actually meant for my future.The Western delegation moved steadily along the forest road. Theron rode at the front with his commanders. Marcus, Elise and the girls traveled with the main group. Kieran stayed close to me, his presence a constant comfort as we journeyed home.Home. Strange how I had started thinking of the Western capital that way.As the convoy wound through the trees, I began recognizing landmarks from my first arrival with Kie

Chapter 185: The Brink of Civil WarElena's POVWe ran.Through the corridors filled with wounded wolves.Theron led the way, Marcus and Kieran flanking him, while I struggled to keep pace behind them. The guard who had found us ran ahead, checking corners and signaling when paths were clear.The sounds of conflict grew louder. Shouting. Metal clashing against metal. The snarls of wolves on the edge of transformation.We burst through a side entrance into the main courtyard, and the scene before us froze everyone in place.Dominic stood at the center of a massive circle, surrounded on all sides.His pack warriors formed a tight formation around him… maybe fifty wolves, all armed, all ready to fight for their leader. Their faces were grim but determined, weapons drawn, eyes scanning the opposite army.On one side, the palace guards formed disciplined ranks. At least two hundred soldiers in royal armor, their weapons reflecting the afternoon sun. These were the wolves who should have be
