IN-BETWEEN THE LYCAN BROTHERS Chapter 50
Adrian’s fingers clenched into a fist as he stared down at the whimpering maid, her eyes wide with fear. His breaths came out in harsh, controlled bursts, the rage simmering just below the surface. The news had hit him like a thunderbolt—Selena had been pregnant. He had been trying to hurt her yet ..yet she had his pup.She had escaped him, carried his heir away from his grasp, with the help of this pathetic creature cowering before him.He crouched down, his voice a venomous whisper. "You helped her, didn’t you?" The maid’s head bobbed frantically, tears streaming down her face as she pleaded for mercy, but Adrian was beyond listening. His hand shot out, grabbing a fistful of her hair, and he dragged her toward the table where a sharp blade glinted under the dim light.“Please, no!” she cried, her voice choked with terror. But Adrian’s expression was cold, devoid of any trace of mercy. He yanked her head down, forcing her to face the blade.“You’ll be an example to others,” Adrian
IN-BETWEEN THE LYCAN BROTHERS Chapter 51
I was floating.The darkness around me was vast, empty. I felt like I was suspended in a void, weightless, drifting with no sense of direction. My mind was struggling to catch up with what had just happened. I couldn’t feel my body, couldn’t see anything except the endless black that stretched out in every direction. The only sensation was the eerie calm that had settled over me, a calm that was at odds with the turmoil I had felt moments before.As I floated, darkness seethed around me, like a living entity. Shadows darted past, their edges wispy and indistinct, leaving trails of unease in their wake. I felt them brush against me, ethereal fingers tracing my skin, sending shivers coursing through my veins.Fragments of images flashed before my eyes: a glimpse of a face, a whispered word, a fleeting scent. They vanished as quickly as they appeared, leaving me grasping for meaning. A memory of laughter echoed through my mind, but it was someone else's, not mine. A glimpse of a room, un

“Okay, so let me get this straight. Your father was the source of all magic. Direct descendant of the Dawn Pack ancestors, and in your slumber, you met like…a god?” Caleb asked, leaning against the drawer in the room Leo had placed me in, inside his pack house. His brow furrowed in confusion as he tried to piece everything together.I hummed, “I don’t think it was a god. It kinda felt like the ancestors’ voices all in one person because it sounded hurt when it showed the images of the death of their family.”Ethan, who had been pacing back and forth, stopped mid-stride and ran a hand through his hair. “And you’re saying they were the ones who hid the orb of magic in your bloodline, waiting for someone with fire eyes to awaken it?”“Yeah, that’s what it seems like,” I replied, feeling the weight of it all pressing down on me again. It was still hard to wrap my mind around everything I had seen and learned in that strange, otherworldly place. “It’s been dormant for generations, hidden a

“Tell me…what happened to you.”Jess asked the moment we sat on the bed. “Okay, I’ll give you just one word: Fate,” I replied, leaning against the doorframe as Jess stood there, still trying to process everything. She frowned, clearly unsatisfied with my vague answer, but I wasn’t about to explain everything that had happened, not to her.“Fate?” she repeated, her voice laced with confusion. “That’s it? That’s all you’re going to tell me?”I nodded, my expression cool and composed. “Yes, that’s all I’m going to tell you.”Jess sighed, rubbing her forehead in frustration. “Selene, come on. Your eyes… they’re glowing. And your hair… it’s like it’s been touched by fire. This isn’t normal. You can’t just say ‘fate’ and expect me to drop it.”I shrugged, keeping my voice light as I said, “Believe me or not, that’s all I can say. Things are different now, Jess, and I’m different. But I’m not sure I trust you enough to let you know everything just yet.”Jess’s expression softened slightly,

I looked into his eyes, so beautiful underneath the fading colors of the sunset, and whispered, “I do enjoy kissing you too.”His smile widened, a touch of warmth and amusement in his gaze. “That’s good to know,” he murmured, his thumb brushing over my lower lip. “Because I’ve been thinking about doing that for a long time.”My heart fluttered at his words, and I found myself leaning closer, the pull between us irresistible. “Then why didn’t you?”Leo’s gaze darkened, his voice dropping to a low murmur as he responded, “Because I wasn’t sure if you’d want me to.”I bit my lip, the tension between us thickening as our faces inched closer together. “I wanted you to,” I admitted softly, my voice barely above a whisper.He didn’t need any more encouragement. In one smooth motion, he closed the distance between us, his lips finding mine again with a hunger that made my breath catch. This kiss was different from the last—deeper, more urgent, as if all the restraint he’d been holding back ha

I could hear the birds chirping. A glorious morning it was. The sunlight streamed through the curtains, casting a warm, golden hue across the room. But despite the beauty of the morning, a heavy weight settled in my chest. The events of the previous night replayed in my mind, tainting the brightness of the new day with a lingering sense of regret.Leo lay beside me, his arm draped over my waist, his breath warm against my neck. His presence, usually comforting, now only served as a reminder of the chaos we had unleashed. I stared up at the ceiling, my mind swirling with thoughts, each one darker than the last.The stigma of what we had done was already settling over me like a suffocating blanket. The whispers that had followed us after that kiss were nothing compared to what would come now. The pack had been harsh, unforgiving in its judgment, and that had been just over a kiss. Now, with what had happened between us... I didn’t even want to think about it.A sigh escaped my lips, and

Caleb, however, wasn’t so quick to agree. He crossed his arms over his chest, his eyes narrowing as he looked at me. “No, I’ll do it. I don’t trust anyone else to handle this.”Ethan shot him a glare. “Why are you being so difficult? I said I’ll handle it.”Caleb’s jaw tightened, and he took a step closer to Ethan, his voice low and edged with frustration. “Because I don’t want you getting involved in something you don’t understand. This is serious, Ethan.”Ethan’s eyes flashed with anger, and he took a step toward Caleb, their faces inches apart. “And you think I don’t get that? I’m trying to help.”Leo, sensing the tension, stepped between them, holding up a hand to keep them apart. “Enough. I’ll check the room myself. This isn’t the time for arguing.”Caleb let out a frustrated sigh, running a hand through his hair. “Fine. But be quick about it. We don’t have time to waste.”Leo nodded and turned to head back toward the door, but not before giving me a reassuring glance. “Stay here
IN-BETWEEN THE LYCAN BROTHERS Chapter 57
Selene's POV I stopped the truck at the front of Leo's estate. I could feel the guards' eyes on me, but I ignored them, stepping out with as much composure as I could muster. The estate was grand, with sprawling gardens and tall iron gates that seemed more imposing today than ever before. As I walked toward the entrance, the maids, who usually greeted me with polite smiles, were huddled together, whispering amongst themselves.I don't know if it's because of the hair. My eyes. The scandal. I really didn't care. I know the type of person Tiana was and I…I like Leo. I really do. And if someone think they want to destroy the unity of his pack through their selfish flaws. They have another thing coming for them. Their eyes darted in my direction, and I caught snippets of their conversation—murmurs of something that made my stomach churn with unease. I tried not to let it bother me, but when I approached them, their chatter abruptly stopped. The silence was suffocating, and I felt a flu

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
IN-BETWEEN THE LYCAN BROTHERS Chapter 117
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
