Semua Bab Rejected and Banished: Claimed by the Lycan King: Bab 121 - Bab 130

LYRA The horn echoed through the sanctuary. Every conversation stopped. Every sword lowered. Every pair of eyes turned toward the shattered entrance. Commander Rowan strode forward, meeting the wounded scout before he collapsed completely. “What did you see?” Rowan demanded. The young soldier struggled to catch his breath. “The valley…” He swallowed. “It’s gone.” A heavy silence settled over the sanctuary. “What do you mean, gone?” Rowan asked. The scout looked up, terror plain on his face. “The forest…” “It disappeared.” ⸻ No one understood. Not at first. I stepped closer to the broken entrance, careful to keep Orion’s hand in mine while Fenrir stayed close to Kael. The moment I reached the opening… My breath caught. The forest outside hadn’t burned. It hadn’t been destroyed. It had simply… Stopped existing. Everything beyond the sanctuary gates was covered in darkness. Not night. Not fog. Darkness so complete that it swallowed the mountains themselves.

RAZE I used to believe revenge gave life meaning. Now, standing at the entrance of the Heart Chamber, I wasn’t sure I believed in anything anymore. The silver light spilling from the ancient roots painted long shadows across the stone floor. Warriors hurried past me, tending to the wounded and preparing for another attack, but I barely noticed them. My eyes never left Serena. She stood at the far end of the chamber, completely still. The darkness beneath her skin pulsed slowly, almost like a second heartbeat. Now and then she would flinch, as if something inside her was trying to claw its way out. She didn’t scream anymore. That frightened me more than anything. The Serena I knew would’ve fought until her last breath. This one… This one looked tired. I had seen that look before. Years ago. Before revenge became her only purpose. ⸻ “You’ve been staring at her for a long time.” The voice came from behind me. I didn’t have to turn around to know who it was. Ardan. “I

RAZEThe dead do not bother me at night.They come to me when everything is quiet and still.When the battlefield is silent, no more swords are fighting no more orders are being given, and no more blood to clean from my hands.That is when they come back to me.Every face I see is one that I remember.Every name I hear is one that I know.Every choice I made is one that I regret.I stopped counting the lives that Serena and I destroyed a time ago.I did not stop counting because there were no lives.I stopped counting because I was too ashamed to remember them.Tonight every single one of those lives came back to me.I stood alone on the balcony of the sanctuary.The mountain was behind me. The valley was below me.The darkness covered the land like an ocean.It moved across the trees slowly covering everything it touched.Somewhere under that darkness an army was waiting.The Shadow was gathering them and getting them ready.The final battle was not coming it had already started.I h

RAZE The gates of the sanctuary did not just open they exploded. The old stone burst into a thousand pieces making a deafening noise and sending dust and broken pillars crashing into the sanctuary. The impact was so strong that it threw soldiers off their feet. Some of them never got up again. A loud howl filled the mountain as the cursed pack of wolves surged through the entrance. There were hundreds of them, with eyes that glowed like embers and black fur with red veins beneath. These were not wolves anymore they were like nightmares that looked like wolves. Commander Rowan shouted "Hold the line". His warriors answered without hesitation. The sound of steel hitting claws filled the air and the silence of the Heart Chamber was replaced with screams, battle cries, and the sound of metal tearing through flesh. The final battle had begun for me and the people around me. I did not move, not yet. I watched Serena, who was walking through the ruined gateway as if she were enter

LYRAThe world became really quiet. It was not because the fighting had stopped. It was because I was filled with sadness and I could not hear anything. I could not hear the wolves. I could not hear the warriors shouting. I could not even hear my heartbeat. All I could see was Raze. Rather, the place where Raze had been. The silver light was. Only the old dagger was left on the cracked stone floor.A man who had carried the weight of his mistakes for years had vanished with a face. For a time nobody moved. Then Serena screamed. It was not the cry of a warrior. It was not the roar of a queen. It was the sob of a woman who had just lost the only person who had never stopped believing in her.She held the dagger to her chest as she fell to the floor. "Nooo..." Her voice cracked. "No Raze..." Her tears fell on the blade. "I finally remembered who I was." "You were not supposed to leave." She pressed her forehead against the cold steel. "I was supposed to tell you..." She could not fin
