IN-BETWEEN THE LYCAN BROTHERS Chapter 87
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

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 sound of the horn sent a jolt of adrenaline through my veins. The battle was beginning, and there was no turning back now. I could hear the hurried shouts of our warriors, the clattering of armor and weapons as everyone rushed to their positions. My heart pounded in my chest, every beat a reminder that this was real, that everything I held dear was on the line.I pushed through the chaos, searching for Leo amidst the throng of bodies moving in every direction. When I finally found him, he was already in his wolf form, towering over everyone else with his massive auburn coat and glowing amber eyes. Even in the middle of all this, he was a sight to behold, a force of nature, commanding and powerful.But before I could reach him, Ethan appeared at my side, his hand gripping my arm firmly. “Selena, stay close to me,” he urged, his eyes darting around as if anticipating the enemy to appear at any moment.“No,” I said, shaking my head, pulling away from him. “I can’t just hide, Ethan. I
IN-BETWEEN THE LYCAN BROTHERS Chapter 91
The air in the chamber was thick with tension, the atmosphere almost crackling as I stared in disbelief at the two men before me. The shock was obvious, the adrenaline was now taking down into surprise, and for a moment, I couldn’t process what I was hearing.Adrian and Leo… brothers? It didn’t seem possible, but the truth was staring me right in the face.Adrian’s cold, calculating eyes met mine, and a cruel smile twisted his lips. “So, now I’m your brother, Leo?” His voice dripped with sarcasm. “How convenient.”Leo, who had been standing tense and ready to fight, looked at Adrian with a mixture of anger and something else I couldn’t quite place—was it regret? Pain? “This isn’t about convenience, Adrian. This is about stopping you before you destroy everything.”Adrian let out a bitter laugh, shaking his head. “Stop me? You’ve always been the hero, haven’t you, Leo? Always trying to save everyone. But where was that hero when our family was torn apart? Where were you when I was left
IN-BETWEEN THE LYCAN BROTHERS Chapter 92
Leo's strength was fading fast. Blood seeped from the gash on his forehead, mixing with the sweat that dripped down his face. His movements were growing sluggish, each strike of his sword slower, less precise. Adrian, fueled by years of resentment and driven by a thirst for vengeance, was relentless, pressing the attack with brutal efficiency.I could see it in Leo's eyes—the realization that he was losing. Panic surged within me as I watched him struggle, knowing that if I didn’t act soon, this would end in tragedy. But what could I do? I was already injured, my leg throbbing with pain from where Tiana had stabbed me. I could barely stand, let alone fight.Leo stumbled back, barely managing to deflect Adrian's sword as it sliced through the air, aiming for his chest. He was breathing heavily, his face pale from blood loss. "Selene, go!" he shouted, desperation lacing his voice. "You have to get out of here!"But I couldn’t leave him. Not like this. We had come too far, fought too har
IN-BETWEEN THE LYCAN BROTHERS Chapter 93
I watched helplessly, knowing that everything hinged on this final confrontation. Kael’s strikes were powerful and precise, but Jess’s dark magic kept interfering, throwing Kael off balance just enough to give Adrian a fighting chance. It was like watching two storms collide, each trying to outdo the other with sheer force and willpower.Adrian’s forces, emboldened by Jess’s betrayal, rallied to their leader’s side, but Kael was unstoppable. With each enemy that fell beneath her blade, a flicker of doubt spread through Adrian’s ranks. The tide was turning, and it was clear they were beginning to falter.But then, just as it seemed that Kael might finally gain the upper hand, a figure stepped out from the shadows at the edge of the room. My breath caught in my throat as I recognized him.Caleb.He was supposed to be dead. I had seen his lifeless body, had grieved for him. And yet, there he stood, alive and whole, his expression unreadable as he approached the battlefield.Kael paused,

Leo's POVI felt too weak to standup and could only watch from where I laid. I saw the pain and despair on their faces. The hurt. My legs was cut with silver. It wasn't healing but it was manageable. I watched as Ethan opened his mouth to respond, but before he could say anything, the ground beneath us trembled violently. The walls of the room began to crack, and dust rained down from the ceiling. The entire structure seemed like it was about to collapse in on itself. "What the hell is happening?" Adrian shouted, his eyes darting around in panic. Before anyone could answer, a deafening roar echoed through the room, followed by a blast of energy that sent us all staggering back. The force of it was overwhelming, like a tidal wave crashing against us. I struggled to stay on my feet, but the sheer power of it knocked me to the ground.When I looked up, my heart nearly stopped. At the center of the room, where the blast had originated, stood a figure. It was Caleb, but he looked diffe

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
