Marked by the Lycan King のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

Lyka stood up slowly, dusting off her ruined silver gown with trembling hands. Victoria, about to leave, made no effort to help, which only deepened the scowl on Lyka’s face.“I don’t know you, and yet you suddenly want to help me? That’s even more suspicious,” Lyka said coldly. “For all I know, you could be a double agent. That bitch seems to have befriended everyone here already.”Victoria sneered, swirling the wine in her glass. “Go and get changed. If you stay looking like that for a few more minutes, you’ll understand my intentions clearly. But right now, you’re dirty and quite uncomfortable to look at.” She took a delicate sip and strutted away without another word.Lyka clenched her fists so tightly her nails left marks on her palms. She had never been humiliated this badly in her entire life — and it was all because of that bitch.A maid soon entered the garden carrying a box. “My lady, Miss Victoria sent this for you.”Lyka snapped at the poor girl, barking so harshly that the

Myra stood outside the main circle, confused. “What the hell is going on?” she muttered.Bria cheered her on from the side, giving her an encouraging thumbs-up. Servants moved through the crowd with trays of black silk blindfolds, handing them out to all the unmated she-wolves and Lycan ladies. One servant offered a blindfold to Myra. She took it, brows furrowed in confusion.The host stepped onto the raised platform, his voice carrying across the silent hall. “The selection process is simple. The normal mating process revolves around the idea that true mates can sense each other, especially tonight, on the peak of the full moon. All unmated she-wolves and Lycans will emit the subtle scent of heat. Though it won’t be overwhelming, whoever attracts His Majesty tonight shall be chosen as his queen. To ensure fairness, His Majesty will also be blindfolded.”Myra’s heart skipped a violent beat. The other girls around her giggled excitedly, whispering among themselves as they tied on their b

The pack elder, Alfred, stepped forward with a heavy sigh, his aged but authoritative voice carrying across the silent hall. “Since an event like this has never happened before, the young lady must undergo a series of tests to determine whether she is truly fit to become the Lycan Queen.”Matteo’s face turned stone-cold, his aura flaring with barely contained fury. “Why would my mate need to take a series of tests? She is my fated mate, chosen and blessed by the Moon Goddess herself. I will only recognize her as my queen.”“All the more reason she should participate,” Elder Alfred continued calmly, though his eyes held deep wisdom and concern. “The kingdom needs to see that their future queen is capable. We should give her a fair chance to prove her worth.” He sighed again, looking at Matteo with fatherly affection. “My boy, I know how much you have sacrificed for this kingdom. But you must understand that every decision you make in your personal life will inevitably affect the entire

Morning sunlight came through the window and landed on the bed where Myra and Matteo were tangled up together. They were both naked, with no blanket covering them. The light hit Myra’s face and she squinted, slowly waking up. She tried to move, but Matteo’s strong arm pulled her right back against his chest. He buried his face in her neck, holding her close.Memories of last night flooded her mind. Her face turned red. She quickly hid her face in his chest, too embarrassed to look at him.Matteo chuckled softly. He shifted and made her lift her head so he could see her face. Myra’s cheeks were bright red, which only turned him on more. She felt his cock getting hard against her thigh and quickly pushed him away.“No… not again,” she muttered. Yesterday had been too much. She had fainted so many times she lost count. Right now, she just wanted to get away.The second her feet touched the floor, her legs shook like jelly and gave out. She stumbled and almost fell, catching herself on the

The rumors about Myra’s identity and the dramatic events of the Lunar Ball spread like wildfire throughout the Lycan Kingdom and beyond. Eventually, they reached Alpha Ryan’s ears.A wave of panic and regret crashed over him. It seemed Lyka had been telling the truth all along. With Matteo’s power and resources, investigating the pack’s dealings would not be difficult at all. A cunning glint flashed across Ryan’s face as a dark plan began to form.He descended into the hidden basement beneath the estate — a place no one knew about, not even Lyka or Luna Daria. Only his most trusted allies had access. The air was damp and heavy with the metallic scent of blood.“Open the cell,” he ordered the guards.Inside, an old man sat tied to a chair, his face swollen and covered in dried blood. Ryan nodded, and one of the men poured a bucket of cold water over the prisoner’s head.The old man woke with a violent gasp, coughing and sputtering. When his eyes landed on Ryan, he let out a weak, bitter
