Alle Kapitel von Claimed by his bully brother in law: Kapitel 181 – Kapitel 190

Larry's povTwo weeks had passed since the terrifying night of the attack.In that time, the atmosphere at Calvin’s territory had gradually settled into a quiet, tentative routine. High-grade guards were stationed at every border, and security throughout the palace had been tripled. There were still small, sporadic rogue attacks along the outer edges of the forest, but Calvin easily dismissed them as minor nuisances.For the most part, the long-standing alliance between Rowan’s grand kingdom and Calvin’s pack had brought an unprecedented wave of peace to the region. Even Calvin’s notoriously difficult pack elders had ceased their endless political nagging, intimidated into silence by the sheer unified strength of the two Alpha rulers.Sometimes, as I sat by my bedroom window looking out over the peaceful, English-style gardens, a bitter, bittersweet warmth would wash over my heart. Leaving Rowan, stepping back, and allowing Catherine to stay as his prospective Queen had actually broug

Larry's pov"So..." I asked, biting my lip, "the suppressed medicine the alchemists are giving him to control his rage... it's actually working?""For the most part, yes," Calvin said. "It's strange, honestly. Rowan's alchemists have somehow grown vastly more skilled in the past few weeks. They've created advanced concoctions that can instantly stabilize his chaotic mind whenever he starts to lose control."A cold, heavy emptiness settled deep inside my chest.It was over. Rowan didn't need my bond to keep him sane anymore. The alchemists had solved the problem with their science and medicine. I was no longer needed as his anchor. I was truly just a ghost from his past now.I gave a silent, numb nod, staring down at the polished floorboards. "That's good. I'm glad he's safe."Before Calvin could say another word, the heavy oak doors of the archive burst open!A high-ranking royal guard scrambled into the room, breathing heavily, his face pale with panic. He rushed straight over to Cal

Larry's povMy whole body went completely still, and my throat felt so tight I could barely draw in a breath.Elis.The name was familiar... but I couldnt remember why.Those were the thoughts bouncing around inside my head as I stared at the boy standing in the middle of the throne room.He was effortlessly, ridiculously stunning. He had soft looking skin, striking facial features, and bright, captivating eyes that seemed to glow under the grand golden light of the chandelier.He was small, slender, and delicate, wrapped in that magnificent golden cloak. But despite his gentle, pretty appearance, there was an unmistakable aura of confidence radiating from him.He didn't look scared at all. He didn't look nervous. He stood right in front of an enraged Alpha with a soft, effortless smile resting on his pink lips."Elis..." Calvin gasped again, his entire body trembling with raw disbelief. "What... what the hell are you doing here?!"Before Elis could even open his mouth to answer, one

Larry's pov"Larry... if Rowan finds out that Elis is staying in my castle... under my roof... using my resources... I am going to be so beyond fucked," Calvin stammered, breathing frantically. "Rowan will think I am hiding him! He will think I am betraying him all over again!"Looking at Calvin right now, I could see real, genuine terror in his eyes. He wasn't just mad; he was terrified of what Rowan would do. He was terrified of losing the peace and brotherhood he had fought so hard to rebuild with Rowan.But as I sat there watching Calvin panic, a quiet, strange thought crept into the back of my own mind.What would Rowan actually say if he found out?My stomach churned. What would Rowan do? Would he be furious, full of destructive rage like he usually was? Or... would he be curious? Would Rowan want to see his ex-boyfriend again?A sharp, painful wave of jealousy suddenly slammed straight into my chest at that thought. It was so intense it made my eyes sting. I pictured Rowan look

Larry's povThe stone corridors of the palace were quiet, cool, and dim in the early morning twilight. I walked down the grand staircases and made my way all the way down into the quiet archives beneath the palace.The heavy oak doors creaked softly as I pushed them open. The archive was silent, smelling of old parchment, dust, and dried leather. I walked over to the long wooden table where I had been working yesterday, pulling out a large book about regional history and the lore of the land.I flipped through the ancient pages, specifically looking for information on alchemists.As I read through the faded text, I began to understand why Calvin had been so horrified when the guard announced their arrival.According to the old records, alchemists were originally created to keep peace and balance in the supernatural world. But over the centuries, they had split into completely different factions.There were lower-tier alchemists who spent their entire lives serving local packs, making
