Rebound to the Lycan Alpha 9. Truce and tears
[Carys]Edith’s face nearly broke into a bright, victorious smile, but she managed to mask it with a subtle smirk in her eyes.A satisfactory smile appeared on Christian’s face that he didn’t even bother hiding.Joshua let out an exasperated sigh, tensed.“Until we resolve this case, Alpha Joshua must officially relieve Carys Elffire of her beta duties and select a new beta for his pack. AAC can provide him with a new beta, or he can choose one independently. Whether to keep or temporarily expel beta Carys from the Autumn pack will entirely depend on Alpha Joshua. The only condition is that a guard from AAC will remain with Carys Elffire at all times. If she’s expelled, Carys Elffire will have to stay in the Neutral Zone until the case concludes.” Liam read aloud from his laptop, and then all eyes were on Joshua.My nails dug into my skin as I waited for his reply.My heart roared wildly in my chest until the silence hung in the hall.“I respect AAC’s decision and I am sure my beta wi

[Carys] “I want it done within a week. Do you get it? I want the best of everything. We need to show those lycans that we are no less than them. This will be a display of not just our power, but our wealth and richness. So I want everything to be perfect. Yes—” “Joshua,” I called out to him while he was busy talking to the wedding planner on his phone. We were in his office in the Autumn pack. “Just a second, Carys,” Joshua tucked his phone between his shoulder and ear. “Yes, I have the guest list ready…” he shuffled through a few pages on his desk and handed a letter to me. “No. The most expensive ones. I need both the quality and the quantity. I want them to remember this party. It will be a slap on their faces…” He went on with his talk as I read the content on the page. Letter of temporary leave? I looked at Joshua, confused. Joshua covered the phone with his hands and whispered to me, “just sign it and leave the rest to me.” Then he went on to talk to the wedding planner.

[Carys] Edith’s glare bore into me as she snatched her phone from my hands. “What do you think you’re doing with my phone?” she snapped. “I thought Lady Valentina forgot her phone. Her phone’s identical to yours. There was a message notification, and I thought it could be something important related to your wedding…” “Even if it were her phone, you had no right to check it.” “I wasn’t checking it. I was going to give it to her.” “Stay in your limits, Carys. You are nothing but a suspect right now. Your carefree actions can put you in greater trouble,” Edith said with a smile, then she chuckled. “No matter what you do, you aren’t getting out of this situation. And I will make sure this gets worse for you. Right now, you have only lost your job. Once I become the luna of this pack, you will lose everything. Why do you think I brought up marriage in the meeting? This pack will be mine in two days and I am in a hurry to clean it up by throwing garbage like you out of it.” I sighed.

[Carys]“Apologies,” Kian whispered, his tone stoic. His voice was tenderly cold yet deep, like a drifting melody on a silent, snowy night.I blinked, lost in his intense gaze for longer than I should have.“Lady Carys, are you ok? We are extremely sorry, we didn’t see you coming,” Jackson’s voice brought me back from the trance. A trance dominated by flickering memories of the past that still washed afresh on my skin like a downpour in a desert.His touch burnt through my clothes as he slid his hand from my arm to my elbow. I would have fallen if he hadn’t held me at the right time. I would have preferred falling than being saved by him.Don’t you fucking touch me! Don’t you dare save me again! — The words screamed in my mind, yet I clenched my jaw, swallowing them down.I wrenched out my arm from his grip and stepped away from him, breathing heavily.My heart thundered in my chest, loud enough to fill the awkward silence that hung between us.“I apologize for my carelessness, Alpha

[Kian Nyx Abner] “It was an honor to have you at our wedding, Alpha King,” Joshua said. I arrived when the Alpha king was leaving. “The honor was mine, Alpha Joshua. Both of you make a beautiful couple,” King Elysar said, giving his blessings for a happy marriage. They shook hands, facing the sea of flashlights and cameras from the media. “It would have been so good if you stayed for the reception,” Edith said with an innocent smile. King Elysar smiled. “I know. I would love to stay, but people like us rarely have the luxury of staying away from their work for long. I must return now. I had a great time today. It had been a while since I saw such a beautiful wedding. I hope my gifts match the grandeur of this adorable pack. And I genuinely pray that both species can finally bond together for a better future. Thank you for making this dream possible tonight.” Some reporters were busy making King’s video, some were clicking his pictures, and some were noting down his every word. T

[Kian]The reception began late at night. It was organized in the private forest owned by the Nightfall family. Although it was a forest area, the arrangements for the party were made in the open meadow.A pergola, adorned with the lush growth and colorful night blooms of the climbing plants, served as the entrance from the palace to the reception spot.They arranged special lapis lazuli and marble chairs and tables in the open for the guests, complementing the party’s theme: blue.“Alpha!” This was the fourth time Jackson had called out to me. I wasn’t ignoring him. I just didn’t want to answer. “Our men have secured the data you wanted…”“I know,” I replied.“Well… then, should I prepare for the return?”My gaze remained fixed on the entrance, on everyone who entered through it—everyone except her.I wanted to stay… a little longer.“Hey, Kian! Have you seen Christian?” Levi rushed to me, panting.The world, as always, was moving faster with every second while I… I remained trapped

[Carys] As expected, Edith was getting desperate to pull me down, show how inferior I was to the world by playing the goddess by pretending to defend me in public. Working on her impulse, she made a mistake which I knew she would make, given how insecure she was of me. Unfortunately, she might not be aware of the consequences of her actions. AAC controls the politics and maintaining confidentiality in politics is of most importance. A leak of even a minute detail can lead from a coup to a war. Dominic tried to cover up for her sister’s slip of tongue, but it was already too late. Edith, the Luna of the Autumn pack, had just confirmed all the leaked information on my case. The media wouldn’t stop until they had answers or until they created some answers themselves. The security came in between us and the media as they reached out their mics towards us. Media stormed Joshua, Edith, Dominic and me with the questions and now it was my turn to use this situation to my advantage. “Lun

[Kian]Memories often have a malignant tendency to hurt, but her memories never hurt. No matter how painful it was to realize that I could probably never relive them with her again. Nor create new ones.Yet a few days, a few moments in her mere presence, were enough to flood me with priceless memories that I wanted to relive again and again.A small touch, a whiff of her scent, the fleeting moments when our eyes met. A few words we exchanged, no matter how hollow and superficial. And everything that remained unsaid in our silence. They were all precious to me.I peered outside the window of my car as we headed to the private jet hangar. I left the Autumn palace right after Carys walked out of the party.‘As of tonight, I declare my rogue status…’I felt someday or the other, she would choose this path — the path of a lone wolf.‘It’s better to be a lone wolf walking on the right path than walking with a pack without a sense of direction or destiny. It’s dark, it’s lonely, it’s scary.

[Carys]“At the conclusion of this meeting, this is my final verdict in compliance with the vote of other alphas — the Autumn pack will not be dissolved. As proposed by the Gamma Mic of Autumn pack, the Autumn pack will be run under emergency conditions with the gamma assuming the beta’s position and upholding the pack. The rank of the alpha of the Autumn pack will remain empty until Alpha Joshua’s child is born. AAC will assist the Autumn pack at every stage of recovery.” I didn’t attend the meeting, but turns out Verity had other ways to have a peek into everything that happened in the conference hall. “Edith Percy Nightfall’s punishment will be postponed until and after the heir of the Autumn pack reaches the age of five. She will be convicted like everyone else who was responsible for the Blank Space incident. Until then, she’ll remain under AAC’s surveillance.” I let out a sigh. “As per Alpha Dominic’s request, the Spring pack will monitor and take care of Edith Percy Nightfal

[Carys]Hoot!Snow White perched herself on Kian’s chest.“Kian’s soul has sustained severe injuries, Carys,” Moratia said. “It will take years for him to recover. The Bond that remains in his soul will help in his recovery. Keep Snow White close to him. She’ll help feed him the spiritual energy he needs through this mist. We are taking Mizkeal’s soul with us.”She looked at Death. Death turned his face towards Moratia and gave a slight nod.I lifted my gaze and looked at Moratia. The Ravens and crows that ripped Mizkeal’s soul away from Kian had long disappeared into the dark portal with his soul. The portal revolved behind Death’s divine yet haunting figure. His face was covered with a skull mask.He turned towards the portal and stretched out his hand towards Moratia. She glanced at me and smiled.“Thank you for everything, Carys,” she said before she turned around and looked into his eyes before placing her hand in his. They walked into the dark portal. Once their figures were e

[Carys]Moratia slowly looked around to see Alpha King and Liam standing near the borders with their army. After all the destruction Mizkeal caused, it was only logical for him to take things in his hand.Levi stood beside them, staring at us. I could tell by the look on his face that he tried his best to hold Alpha King back, but couldn’t. The same look was on Verity’s face.Verity tried to run towards us when Alpha King ordered one of his soldiers to take her away from the battlefield.Nox stood with the other members of the SW, looking frantically around the battlefield. He was clearly looking for Morana.Morana and Christian had fallen into the mist together, but I hadn’t seen them after that. I could only hope that they were ok.Dominic and Ash walked through the crowd of soldiers to the front-lines, taking in the situation.Of course, all of them felt the horror of Mizkeal’s wrath.“Brother!” My eyelids fluttered towards Aamna as she tried to cross the borders and come to our si
Rebound to the Lycan Alpha 141. Ultimate choices
[Carys]I could feel everything Moratia felt.All the centuries of life, love and death flashed in her soul.Her soul was elated to see Mizkeal again, and the way he recognized her again filled her with hope, but it didn’t take long to shatter. Somewhere in him, she yearned to find the man she fell in love with. The prince who taught her how to live.But neither was Mizkeal the same, nor was his love for her. The pure love that a fae price once had for her had turned into a madness of a fae lord. He loved her, yes. But in a constant fear of losing her and that kind of love leads to desperation. And that desperation had blinded Mizkeal.I could actually understand the reason behind his desperation because I was desperate, too. I was desperate to save Kian, bring him back, and I was ready to do anything that could make that possible.Marrying him or not marrying him would depend on Moratia. And I knew whatever she chose would affect me significantly, so I had to brace myself for whateve

[Mizkeal]I didn’t care what happened inside me. I used every ounce of my soul for this last attack.The world could end at its own accord, but…I shifted my glare at Carys.To end her was my right.Peering at me, she got to her feet. Holding my gaze, she stood calmly amidst the exploding ground around her. She licked her lips before taking a deep breath.She smiled gently and shut her eyes, allowing the tears welled in her eyes to trail down her beautiful face.I landed on the ground. Dust and debris of the ground blasted all around us as I strutted towards her.I grabbed her wrist and yanked her closer, barely holding back my rage.The chimes of her crown jingled louder than the exploding earth, sending goosebumps all over my body.“Open your eyes…” I commanded in a slightly shivering tone.I grabbed her upper arms tighter.“Open your eyes!” I snarled at her.She shook her head, her lips trembling as she took in a shuddering breath through her tears.“Carys!”“You know my name, my p

[Mizkeal]Christian held back his groan, gritting his teeth as he glared at me with bloodshot eyes.“Why is everyone so stubborn here?” I sighed. “Well, pain is a choice, and you chose not to show it. I respect that.”“Shove that respect up your ancient ass and get out of my best friend’s body,” he growled, glaring right into my eyes.I chuckled wryly. “You have a strange sense of humor. How does it feel to be in that head of yours, to have a tongue sharper than your claws? There is no real damage you can do to me.”Christian laughed obnoxiously. “That’s the stupidest thing I have ever heard.”“Oh! Have you ever heard yourself?” I taunted back.Morana let out a titter with a smirk spread across her lips.I shifted my gaze to Morana, whose calculative eyes analyzed me.She was the one important to me, but I was still not sure if I could absorb my heart and Bond without damaging them both in the process.I couldn’t risk absorbing Bond while she had my heart because then… it could damage
Rebound to the Lycan Alpha 138. Distraction
[Mizkeal]As I soared towards the sky, a wave of raging adrenaline pumped through my veins, pounding in my ears.Carys Elffire was playing a dangerous game.She split the Bond in two parts! How the hell did she split it apart?But what I failed to understand was how she got a hold on Bond so quickly. A day ago, she couldn’t even keep its power in control and now she had split it in two?But what I wanted to know was how far she had decoded Bond and its abilities.Bond was far more powerful than before. New elements were added into Bond and I hadn’t had enough time to decipher all of them, either. So, it was important for me to know how much she had deciphered it or altered it.With a swift blow of my mana, I created a squall that tore the mist apart for a few seconds. It gave me enough time to escape.The mist swirled around me, playing with my head, bringing out the memories that were impossible for me to resist or ignore. Despite my efforts, echoes of Moratia’s voice haunted me, blu

[Carys]Parting from Mizkeal, I held his hands in mine.His calculative silver eyes narrowed on our hands before he looked into my eyes, as though he could see my soul.“I know what you are thinking. But I am not here for you,” I said, holding his gaze. “I’m here for Kian because I cannot lose him.”He smirked faintly, his eyes calling me out for being delusional.“If Kian lives on in you, as you… then I agree to that fate,” I said, looking into his eyes. “If his soul is merged in yours, then I’ll love his torn soul through you. If you go beyond that border, Alpha King will do everything in his power to stop you. He will kill my Kian and… I can’t let that happen. So, I’ve stopped them. I lied to them. I told them I can… stop you. But I know I can’t.”Mizkeal narrowed his eyes.“You’ve been madly in love, Mizkeal, with a woman. So, I know you understand my desperation, and this might be the stupidest decision I make for this world, but keeping you safe is the only way I can ensure Kian
