IN-BETWEEN THE LYCAN BROTHERS Chapter 122
The pack gathered at the edge of the forest, their faces grim. The air buzzed with tension as everyone prepared for the battle that would determine their future. I stood at the front, trying to keep my nerves in check. This was it—the final stand. The moment I had trained for, fought for, bled for.Leo, my father, approached me, his expression unreadable. Despite the trials, the betrayals, and the pain we’d endured, his presence always carried the weight of leadership. But today, he wasn’t the Alpha. Today, the pack looked to me."You’re ready," Leo said, his voice steady.I looked up at him, my heart swelling with emotion. "I hope so."He placed a hand on my shoulder, the gesture more tender than I expected. "We all trust you, Lily. I trust you."Selena stepped forward, her usual sharp demeanor softened by the gravity of the moment. She didn’t say anything, but the look in her eyes spoke volumes. She trusted me too, and for the first time, I felt the full weight of my responsibility
IN-BETWEEN THE LYCAN BROTHERS Chapter 123
The world around me was hazy, the sharp pain in my chest stealing my breath. Darkness encroached, but somewhere in the distance, I could hear voices—familiar ones—calling my name. Eli, Noah... their shouts pierced through the numbness. I clung to that sound, refusing to let go.This couldn’t be the end.With a herculean effort, I forced my eyes open, my body feeling like it weighed a thousand pounds. Above me, the sky stretched endlessly, a deep and inky black, but the shadows that had once loomed so large were gone. The dark force was defeated—or at least, it should’ve been.I felt a hand on my arm, tugging me back to the present. It was Noah, his face pale, his usually calm eyes wild with fear. "Lily! Stay with me!"Eli crouched beside him, his expression a mix of fury and anguish. "Don’t you dare die on us, Lily. Don’t you dare!"My vision swam as I tried to sit up, but the pain ripped through me again. My hand went to my chest, feeling the warm slickness of blood where the final s

Selena's POV"Father, please, I beg you it's me" I yelled at the top of my lungs with tears streaming down my eyes.I ran from one part of the room to another as fast as my legs could carry."Selena, I do not want to hurt you, but you leave me no choice. If you do not come out right now, I swear I would not be so merciful" my father screamed.I placed my hand against my mouth as I tried to hold back my tears. I was hiding out in the attic from my father.He had come home drunk looking for the last cash I had to gamble away, but I needed it to apply for university.Now he wanted it, and he was willing to beat me to death until I gave it to him.My body was shaking with fear, my nose clogged, my heart plummeted. I was scared.The air in the cramped attic felt thick with tension as I pressed myself against the dusty walls, trying to make myself invisible.The dim light filtered through the small, dirty window, casting eerie shadows that danced around me."Lena, my darling, remember when

Unlike the others, my wounds didn't heal as quickly, a consequence of my lower rank in our Lycan society. The bruises throbbed with every step, my ribs were broken from the kicks I got from the pot-bellied men and his guards.Eventually, I was transferred to another set of guards, who hit me until the tears stopped flowing. Seeing the emblems on their uniform, I knew they were the Lycan king Adrian Guards.That was when I knew I was going to be tortured to death in his arms. Tears filled my eyes, but it didn't fall. The world outside the car window was a blur of green, but it brought me no comfort. All I could think about was the unknown fate that awaited me at Adrian's hands.Lycan King Adrian was said to rule the Crest haven Society, where the poor, the rich and the middle class were all separated by fierce hierarchy. He was said to have taken so many as slaves, women as his sex slaves, but unfortunately they were tortured and died a week later. That was the life I was going to live
IN-BETWEEN THE LYCAN BROTHERS Chapter 3
I was shaking, my body had sweat rolling down my back even though the air was cold.As I stood there, vulnerable and exposed, I couldn't help but wonder what horrors awaited me on this ominous night. All I could do was pray for strength and hope that somehow, I would find a way to survive whatever Adrian had planned for his new pet."You are not much, I don't see what's there for you to hide," the guard said, scoffing. I didn't say anything, I bit my lips in fear."But do know that as you are the Lycan king, you are also ours. All of us, we are going to share you." He was trying to catch my gaze, to make me look him in the eyes, an opportunity for him to catch my disobedience and hit me. But I didn't meet his demands. I only showed my fear, of how my body was going to be humiliated.He scoffed, "Someone will come to dress you." I only nodded in reply, my voice caught in my throat, unable to voice the dread that consumed me.He left me alone, and I crumbled, picking up the bedsheet to

I sat on the edge of the plush bed, dressed in jeans and a simple t-shirt nervously biting my fingernails.My gaze was fixed on the bright sun streaming through the window, casting a warm glow over the room. It felt warm, better than the cold that was biting at my heart.A soft knock at the door interrupted my thoughts, and I turned to see a different maid from the one who had attended to me yesterday.My voice was hesitant as I asked, "Where's the other maid?"The new maid, whose name I didn't yet know, replied, "She has kitchen duty today." Her voice was soft, her expression neutral."Oh, alright.""Shall I prepare a bath for you?""No, it's fine," I murmured. "I've already taken care of that." Curiosity got the better of me, and I couldn't help but ask, "What's your name?"The maid hesitated for a moment before responding, "Janice."I nodded in acknowledgment. "Oh alright. Janice, I am Selena."The maid didn't reply, but I couldn't care less.The urge to reach out to my father was

I sat on the bed cross-legged, the soft lamplight casting a warm glow over the pages of the book in my hands. It was one of the few comforts I had in this unsettling world, a world where nothing was as it seemed. I immersed myself in the words, escaping into the fictional realm of the story, if only for a brief respite.But that was shattered when the door to my room swung open with a force that made me jump.My heart pounded as I looked up and saw Adrian stumbling into the room, clearly inebriated. He swayed unsteadily on his feet, his eyes glassy and unfocused."You," he slurred, his words barely coherent as he pointed a finger at me.I blinked in surprise, my voice hesitant as I replied, "Me?"Adrian's response was a drunken nod, and he beckoned me with a clumsy gesture. "Yes, you. Come to me."Confusion and fear swirled within me, but I couldn't defy his command. Slowly, I got up from the bed and began to walk towards him, my footsteps cautious. My heart raced, and a sense of impe

I froze when the words filtered into my ears and registered in my brain. Mates.Does that explain the tingling feeling I get when he is close? But my human self, the rational one of me would rather be far away from him as he was an abuser."You don't seem too affected by it.""Does it change anything?" I asked. "You wouldn't want an omega as your mate."He chuckled, "You are becoming bolder. I love it." He kissed my cheeks, slowly moving towards my neck as I bit my lips once again.Adrian's words hung in the air like a dark omen, and I couldn't deny the truth in them. Despite my fear and reluctance, my body had betrayed me with its involuntary response to his touch."Wanting you, It's not intentional," I stammered in response, my voice quivering as I tried to explain myself. "We haven't seen each other since that first night and you… reminded me of your presence everyday with gifts. My body, my wolf even though it's lowly, recognizes that, but me… the human still fear you. And still h

The air in the sacred chamber was heavy with anticipation. My footsteps echoed on the stone floor as I walked toward the center of the room, my heart racing in my chest. This was it—the final Luna trial. Everything I had fought for, everything I had endured, had led me to this moment. But I wasn’t prepared for the weight of it, the crushing pressure of what was at stake."You’ve got this," Rose said quietly from beside me. Her voice was soft, free of the usual bite that accompanied our exchanges. Ever since the battle with the traitor, she had changed. Maybe it was seeing Eli hurt, or maybe it was the realization that we were all in this together. Either way, Rose was standing by me now, for the first time in years, and that meant more than I could put into words.I gave her a small nod, grateful for her presence, even though fear gripped my chest like a vise.Noah stood just behind us, his arms crossed as he surveyed the chamber. He had been distant since the battle, quieter than usu

"After them!" I shouted, my heart pounding as I sprinted forward, Noah and Selena close behind. The traitor had disappeared into the shadows of the hall, slipping away like a ghost. We rushed through the narrow corridors, the weight of betrayal pressing down on us.The traitor—a former ally, a trusted figure—had turned against us. My father, Leo, the man who had built this pack from the ground up, was now in danger. I couldn’t allow them to succeed.As we turned a corner, a loud crash echoed from up ahead, followed by the unmistakable sounds of a struggle. I picked up the pace, the urgency pulling me faster than my legs wanted to go.When we burst into the central chamber, chaos greeted us.Eli was already there, locked in a brutal fight with the traitor. Blood stained his shirt, and his movements were sluggish. My heart lurched. He was injured.Leo stood behind him, trying to defend himself with whatever strength he had left. But he wasn’t the man he once was. Age had slowed him, and

The figure reached out, fingers curling around the edge of their face, pulling the skin away as if it were a mask. I gasped, my throat tightening in shock, but no sound escaped. Where Rose had stood moments ago, a stranger now stared back at me. Dark eyes glittered with satisfaction, a sneer twisting their lips. My heart hammered in my chest, but I couldn't move, rooted in disbelief. "You’ve been deceived, bitch," the stranger spat, the familiar warmth of Rose’s voice replaced with something cold, mocking. I blinked, my mind racing. Who was this? My pulse thrummed in my ears, drowning out everything around me. "Where’s Rose?" I demanded, my voice steadier than I felt. The stranger grinned, baring teeth like a predator toying with its prey. "Closer than you think." Noah stepped forward, his presence grounding me. His eyes flickered over the figure, suspicion darkening his features. "Who are you?" The stranger chuckled, the sound hollow. "Someone who’s been watching this pack f

The early morning sky was bruised with dark clouds, heavy and foreboding. The distant rumble of thunder blended with the cacophony of preparation in the pack’s camp. The pack members scrambled to their positions, their faces etched with grim determination. I stood at the edge of the camp, watching the horizon, my heart pounding in my chest. The rogue army was almost upon us.The scent of rain mixed with the tang of adrenaline, and the air was charged with tension. I tried to focus on the task at hand, forcing myself to take deep, steady breaths. Our defenses were set, but the traitor’s sabotage had thrown our plans into disarray. We had already lost precious time repairing breaches and reinforcing weak points.“Lily!” Rose’s voice cut through the din, and I turned to see her running toward me, her eyes fierce. “The scouts reported that the rogues are just minutes away. We need to be ready.”“I know,” I replied, nodding. “Everyone’s in position. We just have to hold the line until rein

The sky was overcast, the heavy clouds pressing down as if to mirror the gravity of our situation. The atmosphere around the pack's central gathering area was tense, a low hum of worried voices mingling with the clatter of preparations. The rogue army was advancing, and time was running out. I stood on a makeshift stage at the center of the clearing, the weight of the pack’s fears pressing down on me like a physical force. I needed to rally their spirits, to inspire them to face the threat head-on.The pack members were assembled, their faces a mix of fear and determination. I took a deep breath and stepped forward, trying to push aside the doubts that gnawed at me. Rose stood beside me, her expression guarded, while Eli and Noah flanked me from either side. The tension between them was palpable, but there was no time to address it now.“Everyone, listen up!” I called out, raising my voice to be heard over the murmurs. “I know that many of you are scared. I am too. But we cannot let f

The pack’s council chamber was a vast, echoing space, its high ceilings and ancient stone walls bearing witness to countless decisions made for the safety and future of our pack. Tonight, it felt more like a labyrinth of secrets and shadows than a place of governance. The atmosphere was thick with tension as Eli and I stood before Councilor Whitman, who had agreed to meet with us under pressure.Councilor Whitman, a tall man with graying hair and a stern demeanor, sat behind his large oak desk. His eyes, though weary, held a sharpness that made me wary. Eli stood beside me, his expression serious as he prepared to question Whitman about the troubling clues we’d uncovered.“Councilor Whitman,” I began, trying to keep my voice steady, “we have reason to believe that there’s a traitor among us, and that this traitor is providing information to the Blackthorns.”Whitman’s eyes narrowed. “This is a serious accusation, Lily. I would appreciate it if you had concrete evidence before making s
IN-BETWEEN THE LYCAN BROTHERS Chapter 115
The moon hung high and heavy in the sky, its pale light casting long shadows over the pack’s territory. The night was quiet, but the stillness felt oppressive, as if the very air was thick with secrets waiting to be uncovered. The betrayal I feared was not just a whisper in the dark—it was a tangible threat, and it was close.I paced the length of my bedroom, trying to sort through the whirlwind of thoughts and emotions that had taken hold of me since the meeting with the Blackthorns. Noah’s words echoed in my mind, growing louder with every passing hour. Someone from within our own pack was working with Killian Blackthorn, and it wasn’t just a matter of figuring out who—it was a matter of finding them before it was too late.Rose had been insistent that I was letting paranoia cloud my judgment. She’d accused me of letting the stress of leadership consume me, and while her words were sharp, I could see the underlying jealousy and frustration. I had a purpose now—one she felt had been
