All Chapters of Too Tempting for the Lycan King: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Ariana’s POV“Your mother has been taken.”The words hit me harder than any blade.I stared at the captain.“No.”He lowered his head.“My Queen…”“No!” I grabbed his arm. “Tell me you are wrong.”His eyes filled with fear.“I wish I was.”“Who took her?”“We do not know.”“Then find out!”My voice shook through the throne room.“How did they enter the prison? How did they pass the guards? That prison was guarded day and night!”The captain swallowed.“They did not fight the guards.”I stared at him.“What?”“They found every guard alive.”Damien stepped closer.“Alive?”“Yes.”Kael’s face hardened.“What happened to them?”“They were under a spell.”I felt my stomach turn.“What kind of spell?”“We don’t know. They could not move. They could not speak. Their eyes were open, but they could not respond.”Kael turned toward the royal guards.“Seal every gate.”The guards moved at once.“No one enters the palace. No one leaves. Search every room, every passage, every servant quarters.”H

Ariana’s POV“My mother said I was never the only child.”The words had barely left my mouth when my knees gave way.Kael caught me before I hit the floor.“Ariana.”I pushed against his chest.“Let me go.”He released me at once.I wiped my face, but more tears came.“I need the truth.”Kael looked at me.“You will get it.”“No.” I turned toward the woman from the village. “Not from him. From her.”The woman stood near the doorway.She had watched us in silence.I walked toward her.“You knew.”Her face fell.“You knew about me.”“Yes.”“You knew about my mother.”“Yes.”“You knew I had another child?”The woman looked down.“Your twin.”The word hit me harder than any blow.“Twin?”Kael stepped closer.“You have a twin?”The woman nodded.“You were born together.”My hand covered my mouth.I shook my head.“No. My mother never told me.”“She could not.”“Why?”The woman took a breath.“Because your birth was not allowed to become known.”“Who decided that?”“The Moonborn guardians.”

My blood was created to kill her?”My voice broke as I stared at Lyra.She did not look away.“Yes.”I looked at Ariana.She stood beside Kael, her face pale. Her eyes were fixed on me, but there was no fear in them.That made it worse.“You should stay away from me,” I said.Ariana shook her head. “No.”“Your sister just told you what I am.”“She told me what they made your blood to do.”“That is the same thing.”“No, it is not.”I laughed without humour. “You do not understand.”“I understand enough.”I took one step back.Then another.My chest tightened.Something moved inside me.My wolf.He had been silent since Lyra spoke.Now I heard his breathing.Slow.Heavy.Hungry.I pressed my hand against my chest.“Damien?” Ariana called.“Do not come near me.”She moved anyway.Kael caught her wrist.“Ariana.”She looked at him.“I need to speak to him.”Kael’s jaw tightened.His eyes stayed on me.“I do not trust what is inside him.”“I do.”“That is exactly what worries me.”Ariana p

Ariana’s POV“If my daughters ever meet, never let them stand together beneath the Moon.”The words stayed between us.I could not breathe.I looked at Lyra.Then at the message in her hands.“Our father wrote this,” I whispered.Lyra nodded.“Why?”“I do not know.”My fingers shook as I took the paper from her.I read it again.There had to be more.There had to be another meaning.Our father had loved us. I knew that.He had died protecting secrets about our blood.So why would he fear the day we stood together?“What if he knew we would destroy each other?” I asked.Lyra’s eyes filled with tears.“You think I will hurt you?”“I do not know what to think.”She stepped closer.“I was raised to believe you were my enemy. But I am standing here now, and I cannot hate you.”“Neither can I.”“Then why would Father write that?”“I do not know.”She looked at the moon symbol carved into the wall.“He must have known something terrible.”Kael moved beside me.“Ariana.”I looked at him.“Do

Ariana’s POV“The hunters already control half the royal army.”The warrior’s words followed us all the way home.I sat on my horse between Kael and Lyra while Damien rode behind us. None of us spoke much.We knew what waited for us.A kingdom divided was more dangerous than an army outside its walls.When the gates of the Lycan Kingdom came into view, I saw warriors standing on both sides of the entrance.Some wore Kael’s royal mark.Others wore Darius’s.My heart sank.Kael slowed his horse.“They are waiting for us.”I looked at him.“How many?”“Too many.”Damien looked toward the walls.“Some of them are watching us.”Lyra tightened her grip on her weapon.“Those are not all royal guards.”Kael nodded.“I know.”We entered the kingdom.The moment we reached the palace grounds, shouting broke out.“King Kael has returned!”“Darius is the rightful King!”“He betrayed the kingdom!”“No, Kael betrayed us!”Warriors faced each other with weapons raised.One wrong move could start a wa
