All Chapters of The Lycan King Who Claimed Me: Chapter 61 - Chapter 67

I woke to the sound of rain. I was still for several seconds. The earth was cold beneath my back. I opened my eyes to see grey clouds blocking out the sky. Broken stones surrounded me."Lyssara?" There was no response. I pushed myself up and winced at the pain in my head."Lyssara!" A hand shot out and grabbed mine."I'm here." I turned to see her laying beside me, covered in dust and blood. I felt relief wash over me."Are you hurt?" She sat up slowly. "Nothing serious. What happened?""The Heart Chamber collapsed." She looked around. "Where are we?" I didn't know, until I saw the mountains. My heart sank."We're outside Moonfall." Lyssara turned her gaze to the distant city. Smoke still lingered from the walls, but something was different. The black portals were gone. The enemy army was gone. And above Moonfall, a silver moon-shaped symbol floated in the sky."Did we win?" I shook my head. "I don't kno

"Kael?" My voice was barely a whisper. He stood in the entrance to the chamber, his sword dangling at his side, his tattered clothes stained with blood, but it was the look in his eyes that terrified me. His eyes were completely black, with no trace of silver or blue."Get away from him," Lyssara hissed, struggling against the invisible hold on her wrist. The Shadow King raised his sword, hissing, "Don't listen to him." I ignored them both and took a step forward."Kael," I urged gently. His head slowly lifted, his dark eyes locking onto mine before a smirk graced his lips."Hello, Aria," he said. My stomach twisted at the sound of his voice. It wasn't his voice. It was too smooth, and too cruel."What have you done to him?" I demanded, my grip tightening on my trident. The figure in Kael's body tilted his head at me."Nothing.""Like hell you haven't," I spat, taking another step forward. The mo

The first warrior climbed through the floor. Another followed, then ten, then hundreds. Their armor were blackened with age, but their weapons appear new. Ancient swords, spears and axes. Every soldier wore the same sigil, a broken crown encircled by flames. The First King's army. An army that had slept beneath the mountain for three thousand years. Kael walked in front of me."How are we supposed to stop an army that has waited three thousand years to kill us?" Adrian stared at the soldiers."We aren't." I looked at him."What?""We leave." Lyssara frowned."Run?""Survive." Another part of the floor collapsed, revealing dozens of warriors climbing through the broken tiles. The Shadow King swung his weapon and destroyed the nearest group."There's no way through them." Adrian looked to the ceiling."There is." He looked at the temple's entrance."The temple has anothe

For several seconds, nobody moved. The ancient soldiers kept kneeling. Their armor clanged against the rock as thousands of heads bowed before the woman."Elyra." The name rolled off my tongue. I had expected another monster, another ancient king to step forward and reveal himself, but instead, I was faced with someone who looked frighteningly familiar. Same silver hair, same high cheekbones, and almost same eyes. But there was something different about her. Something empty. Like someone who had been waiting for a very long time and had forgotten what it meant to hope. Kael stepped in front of me.“Stay behind me.” Elyra looked up at him and smiled.“Still playing hero?” Kael frowned.“Doing what?”“Standing between her and everything that wants to hurt her.” Her gaze softened as it landed on me.“You always seem to attract protectors.” I stepped around Kael.
