IN-BETWEEN THE LYCAN BROTHERS Chapter 82
“SILENCE!!” Leo shouted, his voice booming over the chaos that had erupted in the council chamber. The room fell quiet almost instantly, the council members staring at him with wide eyes, their fear still palpable but now held in check by the force of his command.He took a deep breath, trying to steady himself as he looked around at the gathered faces. “We cannot afford to fall apart now. Adrian has aligned with Tiana, and that makes them a greater threat than we anticipated, but we are not defeated. We will not let fear control us.”Kira, the sharp-eyed woman who had been one of the most vocal during the earlier discussions, leaned forward, her expression intense. “But how do we fight them, Leo? An army of the dead, and now Tiana with her knowledge of our defenses? We need a plan, and we need it now.”Leo nodded, his jaw clenched tightly. “We do need a plan, and it starts with preparing ourselves for the worst. We’ll need to double our patrols, increase security around the borders,

“Ships…ships have been found at our border!! Enemy ships!” the guard shouted.Leo and I jumped to our feet, and the others followed suit. My heart pounded wildly in my chest. This wasn’t supposed to happen, not this soon. We weren’t ready.“Are you certain?” Leo asked, his voice steely and commanding. I could sense the tension in him, his body coiled tight like a spring ready to snap.The guard nodded frantically, sweat glistening on his forehead. “Yes, Alpha! Our scouts reported the sighting moments ago. They’re approaching fast.”I exchanged a quick glance with Leo, our shared worry passing between us in an instant. We needed to act, and fast. “We can’t wait for them to make the first move,” I said, my voice steady despite the fear gnawing at my insides. “We need to rally our allies now. If we don’t have support, we’ll be crushed.”Leo nodded, his jaw clenched. “Agreed. We’ll need to go pack to pack, rally as many as we can before it’s too late.”“Who do we start with?” one of the c

As the sun dipped low on the horizon, casting a golden glow across the restless sea, Leo and I stood side by side on the deck of the pirate ship. The ship was a weathered beast, sturdy and seasoned by countless battles, its sails billowing with the wind that carried us further from the shore. The decision had been made: we would stay aboard for the night, too weary and too uncertain of the waters to risk traveling back to land immediately.The pirate, who had introduced himself as Captain Roderick Flint, stood near the helm, barking orders at his crew. He was a rough-looking man, his face lined with scars, his beard thick and unruly. But there was a glint in his eyes, a sharpness that spoke of experience and cunning.“Captain Flint,” Leo called out, catching the man’s attention. “I never expected to see you again, not after all these years.”Roderick turned, a crooked grin spreading across his face. “Aye, it’s been a long time, Leo. I was beginning to think you’d forgotten all about o
IN-BETWEEN THE LYCAN BROTHERS Chapter 85
I nodded, feeling the weight of his words. “We need to keep as many of our people safe as we can. There’s no telling how many more battles we’ll face.”Leo squeezed my hand, his touch warm despite the cold, biting wind. “We’ve been through worse, Selene. We’ll figure this out, together.”I looked at him, searching his face for any sign of doubt, but all I saw was the same unwavering resolve I’d fallen in love with. It was one of the things that had drawn me to him, his ability to stay strong even when the world was falling apart around us.“We need to think about what happens next,” I said, my voice low as I leaned in closer. “If we manage to get past them, where do we go from here? What’s our next move?”Leo’s brow furrowed in thought, and I could almost see the gears turning in his mind. “We need to get back to our territory as soon as possible. Rally what forces we have left, fortify our defenses, and prepare for a siege if it comes to that.”“But what about Adrian?” I asked, the n

I nodded, unable to tear my eyes away from the dark shapes closing in on us. The air was thick with tension, every sound heightened—the snap of sails, the creak of wood, the distant roar of waves crashing against the rocks.“Leo,” I whispered, my voice barely audible over the chaos around us. “What do we do?”His jaw clenched, eyes narrowing as he stared at the approaching ships. “We hold our ground,” he said, his voice firm. “But stay close to me, Selene. I won’t let anything happen to you.”I could see the fear in his eyes, the worry he tried so hard to hide. It wasn’t just for me—it was for our people, for everyone we were trying to protect. But even in the face of that fear, he stood tall, unyielding.Captain Flint’s voice cut through the tension like a knife. “Prepare the cannons! If they want a fight, we’ll give them one!”The crew responded instantly, moving with a practiced efficiency that came from years of experience. I could see the determination in their faces, but there w

I nodded, unable to shake the sense of foreboding that clung to the air. The sea, usually so full of life and movement, seemed unnaturally still, as if it, too, was holding its breath in anticipation of what was to come. Leo’s hand was warm in mine, a steady anchor in the growing storm of my thoughts.“Selena,” Leo said softly, drawing my attention back to him. “I want you to stay close. We don’t know what’s coming, but whatever happens, we face it together.”I looked into his eyes, seeing the worry etched in the lines of his face. It wasn’t just fear for the battle ahead—it was fear for me, for us. I squeezed his hand, trying to offer some semblance of reassurance. “I’m not going anywhere, Leo. But we need to stay sharp. If there’s any chance we can avoid a full confrontation here, we need to take it.”Leo nodded, his gaze flicking out to the horizon where the enemy ships were drawing ever closer. “Roderick’s buying us time, but it won’t last forever. We need to come up with somethin
IN-BETWEEN THE LYCAN BROTHERS Chapter 88
The realization struck me like a physical blow, and I felt my breath catch in my throat. They were distracting us. But why? What were they really after?“Leo!” I shouted, turning toward the ship that was now pulling away from me. Panic surged in my chest as I watched the distance between us grow. “Leo, wait!”But the wind carried my voice away, lost in the crash of the waves and the crackling of the fires I’d ignited. The ship continued to sail away, heading back toward Starfall Pack, where Leo’s people were waiting, unaware of the danger creeping up on them.I clenched my fists, feeling the heat of my power flare up in response to my rising fear. The flames that had saved us now flickered and danced at my fingertips, eager to be unleashed once more. But I forced them down, knowing that I needed to stay calm, to think clearly.What had Leo said earlier? Something about keeping our focus, about not letting the enemy draw us into a trap. And yet here we were, falling right into it. They
IN-BETWEEN THE LYCAN BROTHERS Chapter 89
The moment the ship docked at Starfall, relief flooded through me like a wave. We’d made it in time—thank God. But there was no time to savor that relief; the tension in the air was palpable, everyone moving with a sense of urgency as they prepared for what was coming.Leo was already barking orders, his voice carrying over the chaos as our warriors scrambled to gear up. The mood was grim, every face etched with the understanding that this was more than just another skirmish. This was an attack on our home, our people.I needed to see my son.Without wasting a second, I made my way through the throng of bodies, my heart pounding in my chest. The thought of anything happening to him tightened a cold knot of fear in my stomach. I had to see him, had to hold him and make sure he was safe.As I pushed through the heavy wooden door that led to the inner quarters, my breath hitched. There he was, sitting on his bed with a toy wolf in his hands, his small brows furrowed in concentration. My

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
