All Chapters of Once Betrayed; Now Wanted By The Lycan King: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Selene’s POVForbidden Energy My whole body kept trembling, I kept my eyes closed, trying to hold on to the strange energy moving inside me. It was no longer staying in my chest. It was spreading through my arms, down to my fingers. The air around me felt heavy.I could hear Kieran breathing behind me, Kael was saying something, but his voice sounded far away.Then I felt Lucian's hand on my arm."Selene," he said quietly. "Stay focused."When I opened my eyes, his golden eyes were fixed on me. For some reason, seeing him there made the fear inside me disappear."I can do this," I whispered.Kael immediately answered, "You don't have to.""I do."Kieran stepped closer. "Selene, stop before you hurt yourself."I shook my head. "We need to know where the magic came from."I looked at the glass container, the ash inside was still moving so I raised both hands toward it.The energy rushed into my palms. I gasped.It felt hot, not like fire, but It was deeper than that.It felt as if somet

Selene's POVSomething was wrong with me, I could feel it.I had barely slept off when the visions started again. I saw a dark forest, then the palace, then blood on the floor.I saw Kael standing beside me, but his eyes were empty. Kieran was behind him, holding something I couldn't see. Then everything suddenly changed.I saw myself standing beside Lucian in a place that seemed too peaceful, he was holding my hand. I suddenly opened my eyes, my heart was beating hard."What was that?" I asked under my breath,as I sat on the edge of my bed, rubbing my face.The visions felt real, but I didn't trust them.The rogues could be doing this, probably because they wanted me to see things that would make me turn against my brothers.But if that was true, why were Kael and Kieran acting so strangely? Why wouldn't they answer my questions? Why had they locked me inside my own room?I stared at the door.I had been trying to understand them for days, but now I was beginning to lose hope.Maybe t

Lucian's POVThe energy continued flowing through Selene, I could feel it moving from my body into hers through our joined hands. Unlike the last time she had attempted the spell, there was no sudden burst of power. She was controlling it, barely, but she was.I looked around the pool.The cave was quiet as usual, except for the sound of water moving beneath us. The markings Selene had drawn covered the ground around the pool. They formed a wide circle, with smaller symbols connecting each point. This place was different from the hidden room in Stormborn, and the spiritual energy here was stronger. It was almost alive.When I looked down at my arm, the cut I had received from the blade earlier was completely healed. There wasn't even a scar left."Lucian.". Selene's voice pulled my attention back to her."Yes?""I can feel it.""What do you feel?""The energy."Her fingers tightened around mine. "It's moving through my core."I studied her face.She looked nervous, but she didn't lo

Selene's POVAfter that night, everything changed, but not in a way anyone else could notice.To everyone in Stormborn, Kael and Kieran were still cold toward me. They still watched me carefully, still spoke to me as if they were suspicious of everything I did.But behind closed doors, everything was different.They had started training me, but not where the servants or guards could see us.During the day, they treated me like I was still weak and forbidden from using magic. At night, when everyone had gone to their rooms, they took me somewhere private and helped me practice."Again," Kael ordered.I raised my hands, the small flame between my palms flickered.I tried to make it grow, but it disappeared.I frowned. "I did it yesterday.""Then do it again today."I glared at him. "You're enjoying this.""Very much,” Kieran said, laughing quietly.I tried again, and this time, the flame stayed.It wasn't large, but it was steady.Kael nodded. "Better."I smiled. "Finally.""Don't ce
