All Chapters of The lycan king’s regret  : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Kaelors POV We had two weeks to get ready for the Continental Summit. Fourteen days to defend my crown it did not feel like time. We had to explain a lot of things a war, a scandal, a noblewoman in prison and a forbidden ritual that almost killed me. It was a lot to handle. The Elder Lycan Council did not send invitations they sent judgments. “They have only met seven times in the hundred years " James said, reading the documents. Sabriel asked, "What were the other times?” James listed them on his fingers. “The Southern Purge, the Blackmoon Rebellion, the execution of the Iron King, the Fall of Velaris—” This was not comforting all. James continued, "No one has ever walked away from an Elder Summit unchanged.” That got everyones attention. Even my wolf was uneasy. The council chambers were really busy over the few days. One councilman said, "You cannot take her her presence will only make things worse.” Zareth said, "My presence seems to be everyones argument these d

Kaelor’s POVI was staring at the person walking down the hall trying to understand what I was seeing.The person had Black Hollows banners and an Alphas cloak I had always thought that title belonged to men like Garrick Vale.The hood covered most of the persons face. I saw something familiar in the way they walked. They were confident and not afraid of the rulers, in the room.My wolf, who was weak stirred beside me it was like my wolf knew the person.Then out of nowhere I did it.She lifted the hood off her head.All the air left my lungs.Mae.Not the Mae I remembered, the one who had threatened to kill me in the hallway of Ashbournes place.Not the Mae who had spent weeks sitting in a chair beside her sisters bed.This was a different person.She was wearing a silver circlet in her hair, which was a symbol of being the Alpha of Black Hollow.It looked really good on her.Zareth, who was standing next to me whispered, "Oh."That was a good response considering what was happening.

Kaelor’s POVI was looking at Alexander. He looked terrible. He was exhausted and scared. It was all over his face as they brought him before us in chains.For the time he did not look like a prince of Thornwood.He looked like what he was. A son who had finally figured out that his father never wanted him to survive if it was not good for him."My father does not lose easily " he said, away."If the summit does not go the way he wants or even if it does. He has a plan. He never goes into a fight without one."The way he said it made the room get really quiet."Growing up in Thornwood teaches you a lot " he said quietly."The first thing is that Aldric always plans for things to go wrong. The second thing is that he plans for it better than anyone else plans for things to go right.""What kind of plan?" I asked."I do not know exactly " Alexander said. ". He mentioned something before I left for the battle. Something about making sure Crescent Veil knew what would happen if they cross

Kaelors POVThe courtyard turned into a battleground in seconds with arrows and swords coming at us from all sides. My wolf woke up to meet the threat. For the first time since the ritual he did not feel distant just weak. Something is changing my wolf growled, low and uneasy I do not know why. I did not have time to ask what he meant. "Find her!" I shouted over the chaos and Sabriel ran towards the fortresss structure without hesitation James close behind her. "Try not to get yourselves killed " James shouted over his shoulder. "That is rich coming from the man who got stabbed protecting me week " I shot back. "For the record " Sabriel called, already halfway through shifting "if either of you dies Mae is going to make all of our afterlives unbearable." In the middle of a battlefield James managed to laugh.I fought my way through Aldrics men with Zareth close at my side refusing every attempt I made to protect her matching blade for blade with a determination that terrified an

Kaelors POVThe fortress was silent after what happened the kind of silence that comes after violence not before. It was heavy and hard to breathe.They carried Aldrics body out under a Thornwood flag that no one seemed to wantKings are things. People fear them their whole lives and in the end they leave the world like everyone else bleeding on the ground.My wolf was tired and quiet. It said one thing.At least this one finally stopped talking.I almost laughed, even though it was not funny.Alexander sat alone staring at nothing his fathers blood on his hands even after he washed them twice."It doesn't come off easily as stories say it does " he said quietly when he saw me watching."No.""I used to think if he ever died I'd feel better."". "He laughed, but it was not funny."I feel like I lost my parents at thirty."I did not know what to say to that.Mae quietly put a cup of tea beside him then walked without a word.Alexander stared at it for a time before saying, "That's som
