All Chapters of The Lycan King’s Stolen Mate: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

The high mountain ridge offered a temporary sanctuary above the toxic purple fog, but the cold night wind cut through our clothes like iron blades.Below us, the valley was drowned in swirling shadow corruption. Above us, the mountain peaks were stark and jagged against a sky painted in shades of bruised violet. Two hundred tired, terrified citizens huddled together against the stone cliff face, shivering in the freezing air."Set up small campfires using the dry mountain scrub," Captain Thorne ordered the remaining guards, his voice raspy from exhaustion. "Keep the flames low. We don't want to draw winged beasts to our location."I sat on a flat boulder near the center of the camp, leaning back against the cold mountain rock. My muscles burned with deep exhaustion, and my silver core felt like an extinguished torch.In my arms, baby Aurora was finally fast asleep, wrapped tightly in my woolen cloak. Her tiny face looked peaceful under the moonlight, and her gold-and-blue wrist crest

The purple cloud tore open with a sharp sound. Ice-cold fog poured onto the dark ground.A huge shadow warrior stepped out. He wore black iron armor with sharp spikes. His red eyes glowed brightly inside his helmet."Kill the Alpha! Catch the baby!" he shouted.A hundred shadow soldiers ran out behind him. Their dark swords flashed in the night as they charged at us."Northern Crest, form a line!" Lady Freya screamed. She pulled out her curved sword.Fifty heavy guards slammed their big steel shields together. Their giant war wolves growled loudly beside them.CRASH!The two armies hit each other at the edge of the high cliff. Swords clanged and beasts roared in the night.A shadow soldier jumped over our shield wall. His dark sword pointed straight at my chest. I did not step back. I held baby Aurora tight against my neck with one arm. I pushed my free hand forward.A line of bright silver fire shot out from my fingers. It wrapped around the monster's neck. The beast turned into gray

"Aurora!" I screamed.The dark lightning pulled my baby through the ice-cold air. Her small woolen blanket flew open as she drifted toward the monster's glowing chest.I didn't think. I didn't breathe. I threw myself forward, lunging across the broken stone floor with my arms stretched out as far as they could go."I've got you!" Valen roared, leaping straight over my head.Valen moved faster than the wind. He grabbed his golden broadsword with both hands and sliced his blade clean through the dark purple lightning bolt!CRACK!The dark magic beam snapped like a thin string.Aurora fell from the sky, and I slid across the cold floor on my knees, catching her safely against my chest just inches before she hit the hard ground.I pulled her close, kissing her warm forehead over and over. "I have you, baby. Mommy's got you."Aurora stopped crying, her small hands clutching my tunic tightly. Her gold-and-blue wrist mark pulsed with a bright, angry light, pushing the black air away from us.

The giant ball of purple fire flew toward us through the air. The heat from the dark magic burned my skin, and the wind blew my hair wild.I could not run. My legs were too weak.I pulled baby Aurora tight against my chest, turning my back to the dark attack. I prepared to shield her with my own body."No!" Lady Freya screamed.Lady Freya and ten Northern warriors ran in front of us. They slammed their heavy steel shields together, standing side by side."Hold the line!" Freya shouted, her teeth gritted tight.BOOM!The purple fireball hit their shield wall with a deafening noise!The blast sent five warriors flying backward through the air. Their steel shields cracked in half, and they hit the hard floor with loud groans. But Lady Freya held her ground, her boots sliding back three feet in the stone dirt.The heat burned her fur coat, but she saved us from the hit."My Queen! Get up!" Freya gasped, coughing up grey smoke. "We cannot hold this giant beast for long!"On the floor, Vale

"The palace is falling!" Captain Thorne screamed, his voice filled with terror.The thick stone ceiling tore open with a sound like thunder. Massive stone blocks, each as big as a house, crashed down onto the broken marble floor. Dust filled the air, blinding our eyes and making us cough."Everyone run to the portal!" Valen roared, his Alpha voice booming over the sound of falling rock.The Northern warriors scrambled toward the purple rift near the side wall, pulling their wounded comrades and war wolves along the shaking floor.A giant stone block fell straight toward Lady Freya!"Watch out!" I shouted.I raised my free hand, launching a beam of silver fire at the falling rock. The holy fire struck the middle of the stone, blasting it into tiny pebbles before it could crush Freya's head."Thank you, My Queen!" Freya gasped, scrambling back to her feet and running toward the gate."Lyra, go!" Valen shouted, keeping his broad arm around my waist as more rocks rained down around us.I
