IN-BETWEEN THE LYCAN BROTHERS Chapter 100
“This is bad,” he said, pacing back and forth. “If word of this gets out, it could shatter the alliance. The other packs are already on edge. They’ll start pointing fingers, and we’ll be right back where we started—divided and vulnerable.”Leo nodded, his expression hardening. “We need to keep this quiet, at least until we know who’s behind it. The last thing we need is for panic to spread.”Marcus agreed, but his unease was palpable. “We’ll keep our people on high alert. Whoever’s doing this, they won’t stop until they’ve achieved their goal. We need to find them before they strike again.”“We will,” Leo said firmly. “And when we do, they’ll pay for what they’ve done.”After the meeting, I found myself restless, the weight of the recent discoveries pressing down on me. The sense of unease that had settled in my chest wouldn’t go away, and I knew I needed to clear my head. There was one place that called to me, a place where I could find some semblance of peace amidst the chaos.I mad
IN-BETWEEN THE LYCAN BROTHERS Chapter 101
As we led the search party into the dense forest, I could feel the situation pressed on my mind. The tall trees loomed overhead, casting dark shadows across the ground as if to remind us that the world we had fought to rebuild was still shrouded in uncertainty. Leo was walking slightly ahead of me, his posture tense, every step precise. I could sense the unease radiating from him."We'll need to cover as much ground as possible before nightfall," Leo said, his voice clipped as he motioned for the scouts to fan out. His sharp focus and control over the situation should have comforted me, but something felt off.As we moved deeper into the forest, I found myself thinking about Marcus. He had been one of our staunchest allies during the war, loyal and fierce in battle, and instrumental in uniting the packs. If someone had managed to get to him, it wasn’t just a personal loss—it was a message.Leo slowed down as we reached a small clearing. He crouched down, inspecting the ground. “Tracks

“I know…I am just worried. we need to be prepared for whatever comes next.” I finished, my voice low and steady, but inside, my thoughts were swirling. The betrayal still stung, and even though Leo and I had been through so much together, the challenges kept piling up.Leo placed a hand on my shoulder, his grip firm. “We’ll face it, Selena. No matter how deep this goes.”I gave a small smile, appreciating his unwavering confidence. But it was Ethan who had been on my mind lately, his journey, his struggles, and his quiet loyalty that never wavered even after the war left him broken in so many ways. I hadn’t seen him in a while, but I knew he was still in rehab, recovering both physically and mentally.Later that evening, I made my way to the rehab center. It was nestled on the outskirts of the village, a quiet place surrounded by trees. As I approached the entrance, a soft breeze rustled the leaves, and the sound of birds filled the air, providing a sense of calm.Inside, the scent of

As the firelight flickered across the room, casting shadows on the walls, Leo and I sat together, poring over the reports from the scouts. Our conversation from earlier still weighed heavily on my mind. The air was thick with tension, and though we’d been through so much already, there was an unmistakable sense of foreboding that lingered in the silence between us.“I can’t believe it,” Leo muttered, breaking the quiet. “After everything we’ve been through, after the bloodshed and the sacrifices, and now we’re facing another threat.”I looked up at him, my fingers tracing the edge of the report in front of me. “It was naive to think peace would last forever, Leo. Power always attracts those who want to take it for themselves.”He exhaled deeply, running a hand through his dark hair. “You’re right. But I just thought we’d have more time. Time to rebuild, time to heal.”I nodded. “We both did. But we don’t have the luxury of waiting anymore. Whoever’s behind this isn’t going to sit idle
IN-BETWEEN THE LYCAN BROTHERS Chapter 104
The days following the mysterious message were tense, each one feeling like the calm before a storm. Our patrols reported no unusual activity, but that didn’t ease the knot in my stomach. I knew better than to think silence meant safety. Something was coming, and every instinct told me it was going to be worse than anything we’d faced before.Leo stood across from me in our private quarters, the fire crackling low as the evening settled into darkness. His brow was furrowed in concentration as he examined the maps we’d been poring over for days, but I could tell something was off. He wasn’t as sharp as usual—there was a slight unsteadiness in his movements, a slowness in his responses.“Leo,” I said softly, trying not to startle him.He looked up from the map, his blue eyes clouded with fatigue. “Yeah?”I crossed the room and gently touched his arm. “You need to rest. You haven’t slept in days.”He shook his head, pulling away just enough to show his stubbornness. “There’s no time, Sel
IN-BETWEEN THE LYCAN BROTHERS Chapter 105
The air in the room felt thick, as if every breath I took required more effort than the last. Leo lay still on the bed, his complexion pale but his breathing more regular now. The healer had done everything she could, and though the dark magic had taken its toll, Leo was strong. He had to be strong—for me, for the pack, for our future.I stood by the window, staring out at the vast expanse of our territory. The sun was just beginning to rise, casting a golden glow over the landscape. It should have filled me with peace, but there was an unsettling tension in the pit of my stomach.Marcus. We still hadn’t found him, and each day that passed without any word made the knot of anxiety tighten further. He was a key ally, one of the most loyal alphas of the outer packs. His sudden disappearance had shaken the alliances we’d worked so hard to build, and now, with Leo’s recovery dragging on, the pressure was mounting on me to hold everything together.I heard Leo stir behind me, and I turned

Leo leaned forward, hugging me. It was supposed to be an exciting moment—a moment of pure joy, finding out I was pregnant, that we were going to start a family. But instead, the weight of the attack hung over us, and a sense of dread had settled in the pit of my stomach. I could feel Leo’s tension in the way his arms tightened around me, his unspoken fears matching mine.“I thought we were past this,” he murmured, his breath warm against my neck. “After everything we’ve been through, I thought we were finally safe.”I closed my eyes, resting my forehead against his shoulder. “I did too. But there’s always someone lurking in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to strike.”He pulled back, his expression hardening. “We’ll find out who’s behind this. They’ve gone too far.”Just then, Ethan burst through the door, his face pale, panic etched in every line of his face.“Ethan?” I said, standing up from the bed. “What’s wrong?”His voice came out in a strained whisper. “It’s your son.
IN-BETWEEN THE LYCAN BROTHERS Chapter 107
Leo’s eyes narrowed as he scanned the message again, his fingers crumpling the parchment at the edges. I could feel the tension radiating from him, a quiet fury brewing beneath the surface. As much as I wanted to tear this threat apart, it wasn’t time to charge blindly into action.“What do we do now?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper as I held our son tighter, feeling the warmth of his tiny body against mine. The fear was there, gnawing at the edges of my resolve, but I knew I couldn’t afford to let it take control.Leo was silent for a moment, his gaze distant as he considered our next move. Finally, he spoke, his tone grim. “We need to be smart about this. Whoever is behind this has already proven they can strike at us without warning, and they’re not going to stop until they get what they want.”“But who?” I pressed, shaking my head. “Who could hate us this much?”“We’ve made a lot of enemies,” Leo muttered, rubbing the back of his neck. “This is someone with resources, so

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
