IN-BETWEEN THE LYCAN BROTHERS Chapter 18
Leo's POVI shook hands with the alpha who had come to visit. “It's nice working with you alpha Jackson.” I said smiling, a forced smile. It wasn't nice working with him at all. Jackson scoffed. The formalities were tiring, but necessary for maintaining alliances and peace within the packs. As soon as he left, I allowed myself a moment to breathe, the weight of leadership pressing heavily on my shoulders.It was good that I tied myself to this man, a sick pervert who thinks women are his playthings. Now I can watch his actions. Any movement and I would take over. He didn't even notice the clause in the contract he signed.Dumb fuck. "Hey, you," Tiana's voice cut through the quiet room, her presence immediately soothing yet electrifying. I turned to see her standing in the doorway, a playful smile on her lips."Hey yourself," I replied, a smile tugging at the corners of my mouth. Tiana had a way of lightening the mood, of making everything feel a bit more manageable.She sauntered o

I smiled to myself as I washed the plate arranging it nicely. That came was delicious. The yumminess. The vanilla and strawberry was so evenly mixed that it felt like heaven. The design, I was saddened to destroy that design. But it would forever remain in my mind and stomach as perfectly delicious. I grinned. As I moved into my room, I started to look for things to do around the house. Feeling at ease after eating something sweet. Then my room door burst opened making me flinch. Caleb and Ethan strode in. I frowned, instantly on edge. "What do you want now?" I asked, my voice laced with suspicion.Caleb smirked. "Don't get all defensive. We're taking you out."I raised an eyebrow. "Out? Where?"Before they could answer, Linda appeared behind them, a bright smile on her face. "We're going clubbing, silly! Thought you might like a night out."I blinked in surprise. Linda was always so kind and warm, a stark contrast to the twins. "I... I don't know. I'm not really in the mood.""No

We stepped outside, the cool morning air a stark contrast to the heavy atmosphere inside. As I looked around, my eyes fell on a sleek black motorcycle parked near the entrance. I whistled appreciatively. "You can get this awesome bike but can't... get a good porridge?"Caleb chuckled, crossing his arms over his chest. "This bike's name is Shadow. And for the record, my cooking skills are just fine. It's the porridge that's lacking.""Shadow, huh?" I walked closer to the bike, running my fingers along its polished surface. "You know, before I got taken by Adrian, I used to be a mechanic."Caleb's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Really? You?"I nodded. "Part-time. Needed the cash for college. Since I don't have a wolf, I had to make myself useful in other ways.""That's impressive." Caleb's voice was genuine, his usual teasing tone replaced with something warmer. "I wouldn't have guessed.""Yeah, well, life takes unexpected turns," I said with a shrug. "Now, can we ride this thing or wha

Tiana's POVI watched Leo and Selene saddled down stairs at the training ground, looking as if they were dancing a majestic dance of sword and fist. I was joking it was a mess. Selene was nothing but a saddle. She lacked balance and everything in between. I couldn't help but scoff. My face twisting in disgust. Pathetic. It was hard being nice to her. Oh poor Selene. Or Selene the one who got hurt by Adrian. I chuckled. I got hurt my that bastard too and guess what I ain't crying shit about it. It was so annoying when all these weak omega try to be like that. Reminded me of a pick me….reminded me of a past me that I would rather bury deep down beneath my soul.****Sitting there in my family's home, soaked and alone, I held the royal invitation in my trembling hands. I stared at it, my gaze shifting between the elegant script on the parchment and the silent fish in the glass tank."What does it mean?" I whispered to the floating fish as if it would answer me. "Why would they invi

Tiana POVI was in shock. It felt like a fever dream. Adrian, the Lycan King, was kissing me right in front of my house. Panic welled up within me as I worried that someone might see us, but I couldn't resist the intoxicating sensation of his lips on mine.His strong hand wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer as he deepened the kiss. His lips were warm and demanding, and it felt so good that I couldn't bring myself to stop him. He kissed me passionately, and it was like a fire ignited within me.When he finally released me, he smirked, his words sending shivers down my spine. "A guard will arrive at your door later. You are moving to the castle."And with that, he turned and walked away, leaving me standing there, stunned and breathless. Adrian had always been a man of few words, but what the actual fuck just happened?As the reality of the situation sank in, excitement bubbled up inside me. Did he regret rejecting me? Did this mean I was going to be accepted back into society? C

Selene's POVThe sun had barely kissed the horizon when I, began my morning training. The dew on the grass was still fresh, each droplet reflecting the dawn’s early light like scattered diamonds. My muscles ached from the previous day’s exertions, but there was a fire within me that no amount of physical pain could extinguish. Caleb and Ethan like usual had made fun of my efforts. Which I have gotten used to, there is nothing The dawn was just a whisper of light as I stepped onto the dew-laden grass of the training field. My hair packed behind me, my eyes scanned the area as I stretched my back. I swear I think I heard something crack inside of my back as I clutched it. Gosh, why did I sign up for this. I wanted to cry. The world was hushed, the only sounds were the soft rustling of leaves and the distant call of a waking bird. I was early, too early for the sword training that had become my daily ritual, but the anticipation of mastering the blade pulled me from my bed with the s

Leo sat at the head of the long, polished table in the meeting room, the sun streaming through the large windows behind him. His court members, dressed in their finest, were presenting the quarterly financial reports, their voices droning on about shares, profits, and market expansions. But Leo’s mind was elsewhere. It kept drifting back to Selena.He remembered the way her hair had caught the light during training, the determination in her eyes as she tried to keep up. A part of him admired her spirit, her tenacity. But then he’d catch himself, reminding himself that he had Tiana. Beautiful, strong Tiana who had been by his side for years. He couldn’t let himself be distracted by Selena, not when he was meant to lead his pack and uphold his responsibilities.He muttered to himself, “No, focus,” but then he realized everyone at the table had stopped talking and were staring at him. He must have looked like a madman, caught up in thoughts about a woman during an important meeting. Cle
IN-BETWEEN THE LYCAN BROTHERS Chapter 25
I needed a job as soon as possible.The outfit I was wearing—a combination of an old T-shirt of Caleb’s and some random clothes from girls they had slept with—was washed, but still disgusting. I tugged at the hem of the oversized T-shirt, which barely covered my thighs, and sighed. It was a step up from my usual wear, but it wasn’t enough. I ran a hand through my fried hair, still damp from my rushed attempt at washing out the dirt and sweat from training. My chestnut hair fell in better waves now, but it still needed a lot of care.Taking a deep breath, I pushed open the door and walked out to find Ethan and Caleb. I found them in the living room, both engrossed in conversation about something that seemed important.“Hey,” I said, my voice a little hesitant. They looked up, their eyes immediately drawn to my outfit. Caleb’s eyebrows shot up, and Ethan’s lips twitched.“What’s up?” Ethan asked, trying to keep his expression neutral.“I need to get a job,” I said, stepping forward. “I

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

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 121
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
