All Chapters of Once Betrayed; Now Wanted By The Lycan King: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Selene's POV The first thing I heard was a beeping sound. Slow, and steady. Beep. Beep. Beep. I opened my eyes slowly, but everything around me was blurry. My head felt heavy, and my entire body felt weak. I tried to move my hand, but even that felt difficult. "Where am I?” I asked, but my voice came out weak. I blinked several times until the room became clearer. White walls, a large window, and medical bed. I was in the hospital. Then everything came rushing back. The attack, the crystal and … Lucian. The pain. I suddenly remembered the voices I had heard before I lost consciousness. "If Selene dies, Lucian dies too." My heart began pounding. I sat up too quickly. "Lucian!" Pain shot through my head, I grabbed my chest and started breathing heavily. "No,” I muttered, looking around the room. "Where is he?" My breathing became faster. "What happened to Lucian?" Just then, the door opened. "Selene!" Kael rushed inside, followed by Kieran and Scho

Selene's POV For a few seconds, neither of us moved. Lucian's arm was still around my waist, holding me firmly against him. I could feel the warmth of his body through our clothes, and the moment our eyes met, something strange passed between us. A spark. My breath caught. I quickly placed my hands against his chest and pushed myself away from him. "I’m fine," I said too quickly. Lucian didn't let me go completely, his hand remained around my waist. "You almost fell." "I’m fine." "And you could have hurt yourself." "I said I'm fine." His eyes narrowed slightly. "You don't seem fine." I looked away, refusing to meet his gaze. "I just lost my balance." "Then don't move away from me." I looked back at him. "What?" His voice became quieter. "My aura is supposed to stabilize your power." I swallowed. "I know." "Then let it." His words made my heart beat faster. I tried to step away again, but his arm tightened slightly around my waist. "Lucian." "Wh

Selene's POV "Kieran?" I exclaimed, stopping so suddenly that my feet almost slipped beneath me. Kieran stared at me and I stared back at him, neither of us said anything for a few seconds. Then he looked behind me, then back at me. "Why are you running?" "I wasn't running,” I answered quickly, too quickly. "You almost ran into me." "I was walking." "Very quickly." "I had somewhere to go." He raised an eyebrow. "And that place is apparently through me?" I sighed. "Can you just move?" He didn't. Instead, he looked at me carefully. Something about his expression changed. "Wait." "What?" "You look… strange." I immediately touched my face. "Strange how?" "Red." My heart jumped, I quickly looked away. "It's hot." Kieran frowned. "It's not that hot." "It is." "Are you sick?" He asked, looking at me suspiciously. "No." "You look like you're sick." "I'm fine." He stepped closer, but I stepped back. He stepped closer again. I frowned. "Why

Selene's POV The moment Lucian's aura exploded through the dining room, I understood why everyone feared the Lycan King. It wasn't simply power, it was something far more overwhelming. Even the air seemed to bend beneath it. The windows rattled violently, the glasses on the table trembled, and every breath suddenly felt heavier. A pressure settled over the room, pressing against my skin until I could barely breathe. I had never felt anything like it before. My healing power immediately reacted as the silver energy beneath my skin surged, responding to the force surrounding us. My heart began pounding as the warmth inside my core rose sharply. "Lucian,” Kael called, his voice barely above a whisper. Before I could react, Lucian moved. His aura shifted around me instantly, separating me from the crushing pressure that had filled the room. The moment his power surrounded me, the heaviness disappeared. I could breathe again. I looked at him in surprise but he didn't even look at me

Selene's POV "His Lycan must take blood." The middleman's words barely left his mouth before the entire training ground changed. The windows of the training hall trembled, the doors slammed shut so hard that the sound echoed across the room. I stared at Lucian who hadn't moved. Not yet. But something about him had changed. His head was lowered, his fists were clenched at his sides, and his entire body was trembling. "Lucian..." I called, but he didn't answer. The glass windows began to crack, a thin line appeared across one of them, then another. "Everyone get back!" Kael shouted. The glass shattered with a deafening sound, fragments flew across the training ground as the remaining warriors scrambled away. The middleman didn't wait, he turned and ran. "Wait!" I screamed. "Don't leave!" He didn't even look back. Kieran rushed through the entrance. "What happened?" As soon as his eyes landed on Lucian, his expression changed. "Oh, no." "Kieran!" I called. He turned and l
