All Chapters of TRIBUTE TO THE LYCAN KING: The Ironblood Heiress: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

ISOLDEThis was even way worse than I thought it was and Caelum was even more stupid than I thought he was. What the hell was going on inside his head?! Does he think that he can actually take on the Lycan Kingdom with that stupid idea of his? Is he trying to jeopardise our pack or something?!Well then, if Caelum had decided that he was going to act irrationally without even thinking about the consequences of his actions, then i would not be left behind. The first step was to inform Rosa that we needed to get to Seraphina first and to do that, I needed a power that was far more greater than Caelum's and the Lycan King's put together. That power i needed lied in one person; that hybrid. I would go back to him and no matter what it would take me, I'm going to make sure that I have him at my fingertips. I turned away from the window and walked back into my room slowly, before a sharp knock came at the door. “Come in,” I said.The door opened and one of Caelum’s guards stepped inside

VAELARION’S POVI was not supposed to be on my feet yet, the healer had made that very clear in a tone that left no room for argument, but I had never been a man who listened well when something felt wrong. Something had felt wrong since the moment I opened my eyes that morning, and I realized the silence in my chamber was too still, as if the world outside had changed while I was forced to lie here and wait for my body to catch up.The side of my stomach still burned when I moved. I pushed the pain aside as I stepped out into the corridor, ignoring the way the guards stiffened at the sight of me, their eyes flicking briefly to the bandage beneath my shirt before snapping back to attention, and I walked past them without a word because I did not need their concern, I needed answers.By the time I reached the council chamber, I already knew this was not going to be a simple report.They were seated in silence and waiting for me, every single one of them.I stepped inside and the room f

CAELUM I was done sitting in that room listening to men who were too afraid to say what needed to be said, too weak to act, and too comfortable with loss as long as it wasn’t theirs. So I went to the border myself. The air over there smelled differently and colder like something was always watching from the trees, and tonight it felt worse, like the forest itself knew what I had come to do and was waiting to see if I would go through with it. The rogues were standing in a loose circle around a dying firestood in a loose circle around a dying fire, their faces were all half-hidden in shadow. They were rough men with no loyalty except to gold, and even that loyalty was thin, but they straightened when they saw me step into the clearing because no matter how low they had fallen, they still understood what it meant when an Alpha walked into their space without fear. “You’re late,” one of them said, a tall man with a scar running across his mouth like someone had tried to split his fa

SERAPHINA The questions didn't seem related, not even to me, but my mind was buzzing with a thousand and one questions. The conversation between the both of them before the hybrid had vanished into thin air seemed like it had been about me, but even when I could hear the words clearly, I didn't understand a single thing. The priest opened his mouth to say something but hesitated and closed his mouth back. "Well?" I asked impatiently, my heart still pounding fast in my chest. Well if I was indeed cursed, that explains a lot of things. That explains why I've been so unlucky and the reason I've been through so much. It explains why I had just lost my children through some kind of mystery that didn't even seem plausible, yet, no one cared to listen to me and I was injured and thrown into the dungeon like a hardened criminal. Hot tears stung my eyes as I struggled to contain my emotions. "You were not supposed to find this out now." The priest said. I sucked back in the tears, my br

CAELUMI let out a slow breath and loosened my grip slightly around the bottle as the tension in my chest shifted into something more focused. Yes, that was bound to work. A knock on the door jolted me out of my train of thought. “Come in” I said.“You requested me, Alpha.”I studied him for a moment before nodding my head once.“I need you to send word to the network on my behalf.” I said, my anger settling into something more precise, “I have a new task for them.”He didn’t ask questions and kept mute, waiting for me to continue. “They are to identify a Lycan noble,” I continued, “someone who moves through neutral territory regularly, someone with enough standing to matter but not enough to trigger immediate war if they disappear.”The guard nodded slowly. “And when they find one?”I leaned forward slightly, my gaze locking onto his.“They take him,” I said simply.*********When he left, I remained where I was, the bottle was still in my hand, the room was still quiet, but ever
