Chapter 11

Elsie's POVWho knew salvation would come, but in the most unexpected way? Guess today was not my dying day after all.I sprinted through the dark, wet woods, my boots splashing heavily through the mud. My heart was still hammering against my ribs, not from fear anymore, but from pure shock. I hadn't seen my savior’s face beneath that deep hood, but his sheer size and powerful build were identical to that of the Lycan King.I couldn't imagine why the king would personally come out into a thunderstorm to pull a scrawny, insignificant recruit out of a hole. It didn't make any sense, and I didn't know how to feel about it. But as the cold rain lashed against my face, a deep sense of curiosity took root in my mind. Who was he, really?As the lights of the main camp broke through the treeline, I slowed my pace to a quick walk. I considered reporting Holmer to Commander Hunter, but I immediately dismissed the thought. I had absolutely no proof. It was my word against his, and Holmer clearl

Chapter 12

Elsie's POV The veteran wolf introducing himself didn't bother with a gentle greeting. He stood tall, his chest thrown out, looking down at our sizeable group with hard, uncompromising eyes."I am Logan," he said, his voice clipped. "I am in charge of this patrol unit. I am originally part of the Iron Army, the force directly responsible for protecting the wolf kingdom itself. You recruits are here from various small packs, so ensure you pay attention and learn from me."To me, he sounded like a proud man, but I guessed there was nothing wrong with glorying in his achievements. If you managed to survive long enough to become a veteran in the King's own army, you earned the right to boast a little."We will patrol the eastern border for five hours," Logan continued, pacing back and forth in front of us. "You will get your rest afterward. You are being trained to be warriors. A little midnight cold shouldn't trouble you. You can choose to remain in your human skin or shift into your wo

Chapter 13

Elsie's POV Turns out that the Iron Fort was a heavily reinforced, sprawling timber and stone structure situated near the heart of the camp, primarily used as a council hall where important strategic meetings were held. And this late morning, there was a major scheduled strategy meeting taking place inside.The moment I learned this from a passing warrior, my heart skipped a beat.Does this mean I'm going to see the Lycan King again?The thought popped into my head before I could stop it, and I immediately slapped myself internally. Don't be stupid, Elsie. Hoping for another glimpse of him, let alone expecting him to notice a random guard standing outside, was the most futile hope to have in the whole world. He was a monarch preparing for a war against his own brother. He didn't have time to worry about the runt he pulled out of a ditch.I quickly ate a rushed breakfast of cold bread in the mess hall, then set off toward the center of the camp. Because the layout of the Hold was so

Chapter 14

Elsie's POV He wasn't wearing a hood this time.My breath hitched as he stepped fully into the open space. His untamed white hair was blowing softly in the chilly wind, a stark and beautiful contrast against the dark leather of his armor. I stared, entirely captivated. How would it feel to the touch? The thought slipped into my head, and the sudden, random desire to know the answer was almost maddening.Fucking focus, you idiot! I screamed at myself in my mind, my cheeks burning beneath my mask. I gripped the hem of my top so tightly my knuckles turned white. But even my wolf was curious; I could feel her perking up, pacing behind my ribs and pressing forward as if trying to get a better look at him.But all the luck in the world must have been against me today. The King turned his head, looking completely away from my direction to listen to what a commander was saying while they walked. He descended the wooden steps, his massive back to me, and moved toward the center of the camp

Chapter 15

Elsie's POV After hitting the wooden dummies countless times, an exercise that I honestly felt was beneath my skill level, we were finally released for the day. I mapped out a strict plan for the rest of the evening. First, I would eat. Second, I would go on my stealing mission. Third, I would bathe in the stream. And finally, I would get some much-needed sleep. I hurried to the mess tent, hoping to find Tate. I needed to ask him a few location-related questions to pull off my plan. I spotted him quickly enough, sitting among a large, boisterous group of recruits near the center tables. I didn't approach him, though. I wasn't exactly crowd-friendly these days, and standing in a group of rowdy male wolves while hiding a secret like mine was a recipe for disaster. I collected my tray of food from the kitchen counters, thankful that at least they tried to feed us well. The portions were huge and heavy on protein. On my way to find an empty seat, I caught Tate’s eye. His face bri

Chapter 16

Elsie's POV I crouched behind the dripping brush, holding my breath. I was incredibly thankful that the wind was blowing toward me, working entirely in my favor. If the breeze had been moving the other way, my scent—even muted by the fresh potion—might have given me away.But what the hell was a rogue doing this close to the Iron Hold, and how exactly did he get past the perimeter? Most importantly, was he alone?Hanging back to wonder wasn’t going to give me answers. I quietly and swiftly climbed up the rough bark of a nearby pine tree, scaling the lower branches until I had a clear vantage point. I gripped a thick limb and gave the dark, misty surroundings a good, thorough sweep. I scanned the treeline, watching for the telltale glint of eyes or the shifting of dark shapes. Nothing. There were no other creeping wolves.Down below, the lone rogue had paused by the edge of the rushing stream, lowering his heavy head to lap hungrily at the water.This was completely unbelievable. A s

Chapter 17

Elsie's POV I hit the mud, but my training kicked in before my brain could process the pain. I rolled to the side and recovered fast, getting back onto my feet just as the wolf turned to face me.The rogue snarled wildly, ropes of saliva flying from his bared teeth, and charged directly at me. He was fast, but his bulk made his movements predictable. I waited until the very last second, then ducked and evaded his head-on attack, executing a quick, fluid roundabout maneuver. He was too heavy to stop his own momentum, and he couldn't keep up with my speed.As I spun past his flank, I drove my dagger down, delivering a sharp, deep slice across one of his hind legs.The wolf howled in pain, but his reflexes were brutal. Before I could back away, he lashed out, kicking backward with his other hind leg. The heavy paw caught me right in the midsection, sending a jolt of agony through my ribs. But instead of letting the blow throw me away, I gasped, hung onto his leg with both arms, and use

Chapter 18

Elsie's POV It felt exactly like I was walking straight to my doom.All these days, I had been completely consumed by curiosity about the Lycan King, wondering who he was and what he looked like. And now, I was finally going to meet him? Just like that? Face-to-face in his private quarters?I was shittly nervous. My hands were trembling so badly I had to tuck them into the folds of my wet clothes, and my throat felt completely dry. I really, really hoped I wouldn't lose my voice entirely or say something incredibly embarrassing when he spoke to me.Sooner than I would want, our footsteps slowed, and we were standing directly in front of the massive black tent.Oh, shit. This was really happening.Commander Hunter stepped up to the entrance and called out, his voice respectful but clear. "Your Majesty?"A deep, smooth voice echoed from within. "Enter."Commander Hunter pulled back the heavy leather flap and stepped inside. I, however, froze completely, my boots glued to the wet dirt.

Chapter 19

Quinn's POVThe telltale scent of crushed herbs had completely filled my tent, though it was slightly faded compared to the first time I encountered it.The pup was still kneeling in front of me, his small frame practically vibrating with tension. A few moments ago, when he had frantically pleaded his innocence, a bitter scent of fear had emanated from him. Usually, the scent of fear from a wolf left me entirely indifferent. It was a standard reaction in my presence. But this time, it made me feel strangely uncomfortable. I didn’t like seeing him look so terrified of me.Now that he was here, I just had to see his face to satisfy my hidden curiosity. I knew I was breaking character. I was the Lycan King. I didn't fuss over low-ranking recruits, and I certainly didn't interrogate them this personally over a border skirmish. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Hunter looking at me with a weird, deeply suspicious expression.Honestly, this was the most I had spoken in a single conv

Chapter 20

Elsie's POV I could not believe that just happened. My mind was completely blown. I stumbled away from the black tent, my heart hammering against my ribs so violently I thought it might burst through my chest bindings. Of all the millions of male wolves scattered across the territories, how on earth was he the one the moon goddess had picked for me? The freaking Lycan King. From everything I had seen and heard so far, he did not seem like a considerate, gentle, or forgiving man. He was a ruthless ruler preparing for a bloody war. If he ever found out that I was actually a girl hiding in his elite warrior camp, he would be furious. And if he found out that I was his fated mate, and that I had known the truth without telling him? He would be terribly mad. It was definitely best to say nothing for now. Honestly, I didn't even need a mate. I had run away from the Sunset Pack precisely because I wanted to control my own destiny. I didn't want a dominant male who just wanted to kee
