Semua Bab Rejected and Banished: Claimed by the Lycan King: Bab 11 - Bab 20

KaelLike someone just reached into my soul.I gasped and my body bent forward and my hand pressed hard against my chest.“Ah…!”It hurt, not like a wound, not like claws or teeth, this was deeper and stronger and I dropped the scarf and then it fell to the floor.My breathing turned ragged.“What is this…” I whispered and my wolf roared inside me, it was loud and wild and I felt it too.It knew.“Lyra…” I said again, her name felt alive on my tongue, not like a memory and not like something lost.Alive.The pull hit again and it was stronger this time and I staggered back. My back hit the wall and my eyes shut tight and for one second…I felt her. Clear and close, like she was right in front of me, and then my breath stopped.“Lyra…”Then it was gone, just like that.The connection cut and I opened my eyes fast.“No… no!”My chest rose fast.“Come back!”Silence answered me, there was nothing but only my heartbeat, it was loud and fast and then I shook my head.“This is not right…”I

LYRA“She trains under me.”“What?” I said, shocked. His eyes stayed on mine as he replied.“You heard me.”“I don’t need you,” I snapped.A few people gasped. No one talked to him like that, but I didn't care.“I can train on my own,” I continued.“I have been doing fine.”Ares took one step closer.“Fine is not enough,” he said.“I decide what is enough for me.” I snapped back.“No.”His voice was firm.“You don’t.”Anger rose in me; it was fast and hot.“I am not one of your warriors.”“You are worse.”My eyes widened.“What does that mean?”“It means you are dangerous.”“I am not dangerous,” I said.“You lost control and almost killed someone.”“That was before.”“And if it happens again?”“It won’t.”“You don’t know that.”I stepped forward.“I said it won’t.”My voice shook, not from fear but from frustration, from uncertainty. Ares studied me for a long time, and then he spoke again.“Training starts now.”I laughed, but it was short and sharp.“No.”His eyes darkened.“Yes.”W

Kael The words hit me again.“Something stronger replaced it.”I could still feel it, right here, and I pressed against my chest hard, like I wanted to pull it out, but I didn’t, I didn’t understand anything. I just started pacing, back and forth, and the council room felt too small. The walls were suddenly closing in, and my wolf moved under my skin, restless, angry, and alive.“She is dead,” I muttered.But the pull in my chest did not agree; it burned, it moved, and it refused to stop. I stopped pacing and looked at the elders; all of them were watching me, waiting, and being careful, and no one wanted to speak.“Say it again,” I told them, and my voice was low and tight.The elder who had spoken before then shifted in his seat, his eyes avoiding mine.“I already said what I know, Alpha.”“Say it again.”He swallowed.“If the bond was cut… You should feel nothing.”My jaw tightened.“But you felt it,” he continued, and I nodded once.“Then the bond was not fully broken.”My wolf g

AresShe didn’t look back. She should have. Kings aren’t used to being walked away from. My wolves, who had been silently watching as we spoke, weren’t used to it either. Three of them at the tree line shifted, growling low, asking why I let a banished Omega dismiss their king. Because she wasn’t an Omega. Not anymore. Not after today. The ground where she’d stood was still cracked from her power. The air still smelled of her: sweat, fear, and something sweeter underneath. Hers. It clung to my lungs, and my wolf wanted to chase it, cage it, keep it.“She’s in your head,” Darric said, stepping up beside me. My Beta. My oldest friend. The only one who could get away with that tone.“She’s under my skin,” I corrected, rubbing my thumb over the spot on my wrist where I’d grabbed her. Her pulse had been there. Wild. Terrified. Alive. “In my blood, if I’m honest.”Darric went still. “That’s worse.”“I know.” I couldn’t scent lies, not from myself.“Did you feel it?”“The ground splitting? Ha

SerenaHe believed me. Of course he did. Kael's a warrior, but he feels too much. That's why they sent me.The Syndicate, the rogues, the ones who got tired of waiting for wolves to kill themselves off and decided to help.My job was simple: get close to the Stormclaw heir, marry him, whisper in his ear, and make sure Stormclaw stayed weak and too busy with squabbles to notice us buying their borders.Lyra wasn’t part of the plan. She was a complication, a little Omega he’d taken to his bed because he was lonely. I was supposed to arrive at the political match, and he was supposed to set her aside without drama.Then she fell into the Abyss, but she didn’t die.That was the problem.“Fine," Kael said. "Send Joran to the Abyss to look.”I kissed his cheek. "Wise."I almost choked on the word.Joran left at dawn. I watched from the wall. He was my hound, not because he was loyal to Kael, but because he was loyal to coin, and I’d been paying him since before I married into this pack.I t
