(Elias)

The night air was cool, a welcome respite from the stifling heat of the day. I stood on the balcony, staring out at the moonlit landscape, lost in thought. It had been a long time since Seraphina and I had a proper conversation, and I missed the days when we were close.

I remembered the times when we could talk about anything and everything. Her laughter would fill the room, and her smile was enough to make me forget my worries. But things had changed, they always did. War had a way of hardening people, building walls around their hearts that even the closest bonds struggled to penetrate.

Seraphina had always been strong, but the weight of responsibility and the constant threat looming over us had taken its toll. I saw it in her eyes, the flicker of doubt and fear that she tried so hard to hide.

I leaned against the railing, feeling the cold metal beneath my hands. I was confused, and stressed. I wondered if Seraphina felt the same conflict, the same pull between duty a

    (Iris)I was awakened abruptly by the intrusive, insistent voice of Elias in my mind. The mind-link we shared allowed him to reach me no matter the distance. His tone was anything but gentle, more like a growl of frustration. “You want to come on your own, or should I send my men to get you?” he demanded. Clearly, Seraphina had completed her part of the plan, and now it was my turn. I took a deep breath, calming the surge of adrenaline that spiked through me. Elias’s impatience was evident, but there was an underlying tension that hinted at something more. “You have to promise our safety,” I replied, my voice steady despite the rapid beating of my heart. This was a non-negotiable term. I couldn’t risk Jasper’s life or mine without some form of assurance.“Sure,” Elias responded tersely. The single word was laced with irritation, barely masking the anger simmering beneath the surface. He didn’t trust me, and I couldn’t blame him. Trust was a rare commodity these days. As I o

    (Iris)“You have no choice.” Elias let go of my arm and stepped back, staring at me with a complicated blend of emotions. “Naomi can help us from the inside. But she’s not under your thumb anymore. She can do whatever she sees fit. But I can convince her that you are our best bet.” My words hung in the air, each one carefully chosen to avoid antagonizing him. He looked at me, his expression unreadable. “Sit,” he commanded, his tone leaving no room for argument. I complied, perching on the edge of the chair, my mind racing with potential strategies. But it soon became clear that strategy was not on his mind. He opened a drawer and pulled out a stack of letters, placing them in front of me. “Father never told me about my mother. Now I know why,” he said, his voice tinged with bitterness. “Mother?” I echoed, and he pushed the letters toward me. I picked them up, my hands trembling slightly as I did so. I began to read, each letter revealing a piece of a puzzle I hadn’t even

    (Iris)Again, Elias threw me out. I could tell his anger was growing, and his frustration with the situation only seemed to be getting worse. He wasn’t ready to hear reason, not yet. The situation was spiraling, and every attempt to reason with him seemed to push him further away from the calm and rational leader we needed him to be. I made my way down to the cell where Jasper was being held. I couldn't shake the feeling of disappointment. The stakes were high, almost too high, and we were running out of time. The rift between Elias and Jasper needed to be mended if we were to have any chance at unity. The fate of our pack depended on it, and the weight of that responsibility pressed heavily on my shoulders. The corridors leading to the cells were dimly lit, the flickering torches casting long, wavering shadows on the stone walls. The atmosphere was thick with tension, the kind that comes from too many days of unresolved conflicted and unspoken fears. The guards stationed along the

    (Naomi)I didn’t think Caden and Leila suspected me of anything. But that day, they seemed on edge. Their usual calm and composed demeanor was replaced by a tension that hung in the air. I noticed it the moment I stepped up to the dining room. The way their eyes darted around, how their fingers tapped nervously on the table, and their hushed whispers all indicated something was amiss. I tried to stay inconspicuous, blending into the background, but my curiosity got the better of me. Outside the dining room, I paused. Through the closed door, I heard them talking. Their voices were low. My heart raced as I leaned in, straining to catch every word. “We still have one last card,” Caden reassured Leila. “I don’t know why you think Iris will follow our plan; she is his mate!” Leila’s voice was sharp, betraying her frustration. So, Iris and Jasper aren’t following their plan after all. I felt a glimmer of hope. Iris must have convinced Jasper that peace was the only way. He would do any

  • Rejected by His Brother, Fated to the Lycan King   Chapter 65 Diary

    (Iris)Holding the evidence of the crazy youth of our parents felt surreal. I sat in the dim light of the attic, surrounded by old, dusty boxes and forgotten memorabilia. In my hands, I held Elias’s mother’s detailed diary. The leather cover was worn, the pages yellowed with age, but the handwriting inside was clear and neat, chronicling a life I had only heard about. It seemed to pulse with a life of the past, every word a testament to a time I could scarcely imagine. How could it be that the people I knew as stern, responsible leaders were once so wild and carefree? My fingers traced the delicate script, and I felt a connection spanning decades, linking me to a younger version of our parents. Alice, Elias’s mother, had been sent to our pack as a girl when Lycans were first starting to encounter enemies they couldn’t handle alone. Her diary began with entries from those early days, capturing her initial fear and excitement. She wrote about the strangeness of leaving her home a

    (Elias)So, that is how Iris saw me now. Her words echoed in my mind, haunting me. It hurt to hear that she thought I was no longer the person she fell in love with. Every moment we had shared, every promise we had made, seemed like a distant memory, tarnished by the present reality. Was she with Jasper now? Like properly? The thought clawed at my sanity. I could not let that happen. As I paced back and forth, my anger grew with each step. I summon the guards, my voice cold and unyielding. “Lock Iris up in her old room,” I ordered, my tone leaving no room for argument. They nodded and quickly moved to carry out my command. When they brought her to me, she didn’t resist. She didn’t plead or cry. She looked at me with no emotion, just acceptance. Her calm demeanor only fueled my rage further. Did she no longer care? Was she so indifferent to our past, to what we once were? “Why, Iris?” I demanded, my voice trembling with a mix of anger and desperation. “Why him? Why Jasper?” She r

    (Elias)I was surprised when Elias brought Jasper with him, but I didn’t question it. There were more pressing matters at hand. Besides, Elias had a certain look on his face, one that told me I shouldn't question him. As we stood together in the dimly lit room, I shared Naomi’s findings with them. Elias’s eyes widened, a look of stunned disbelief crossing his face. “We both just assumed that Alice was dead,” he murmured, more to himself than anyone else. “They’re already planning to use Alice to their advantage somehow. We have to act fast,” I urged, feeling the weight of the situation pressing down on us. Elias began pacing the room, his mind clearly racing. As he did, I turned to Jasper to update him. “Alice is Elias’s mother,” I explained. “Your parents were friends with her.” Jasper’s face showed a flicker of surprise, but he quickly masked it with his usual nonchalance. “And the necklace?” I asked, trying to piece everything together. Jasper’s expression softened sl

    (Iris)I still couldn’t reach Naomi. My frustration mounted with each failed attempt to contact her, the silence on the other end of the line a stark reminder of the precariousness of our situation. It was as if she had vanished into thin air, leaving me to grapple with a sense of helplessness that gnawed at my resolve. Meanwhile, Jasper had been thrown back into his cell, his defiance met with harsh retribution. The echo of the cell door slamming shut reverberated in my mind, a cruel punctuation to our collective struggle. In stark contrast to my solitude, Seraphina stood resolute by Elias’s side. Together, they were a formidable force, united in their determination to mount a counterattack. Elias, ever the strategist, planning his moves, each decision weighted with the gravity of our plight. Seraphian’s unwavering presence was a beacon of strength, her loyalty to Elias and our cause was unshakeable. I could almost picture them, their intense gazes locked in silent communication,

    (Elias)I told them all the story of Elias’s victory, and his mercy. Surprised murmur rippled through the crowd. Recondition, not killed. This was Eias’s first benevolent act since becoming the Lycan King, a decision that marked a significant shift. I felt a surge of pride in him, knowing this was a step toward breaking the cycle of violence and hatred that had plagued our world for so long. I could tell my feelings were echoed in the soldiers around us. Caden’s men joined our group now that Elias was the Alpha, and our men welcomed them.As Caden and Leila were led away, their expressions a mix of defiance and resignation, Elias turned to face his mother, Alice. Her blue eyes were filled with pride and relief, and I watched as they embraced. “You’ve done well, my son,” Alice said, her voice trembling with emotion. “I’m proud of you.” “Thank you, Mother,” Elias whispered. “I couldn’t have done it without all of you.” Alice pulled back, her eyes searching his. “You’ve shown mercy w

    (Iris)I had to follow Elias. Jasper, Naomi, Alice and even Seraphina had decided to stay with the rest of our group, tending to the wounded. But I had to follow Elias.As the first light of dawn began to stretch across the horizon, I could see the tension in the clearing before me. The duel between Elias and Caden was about to begin, and I felt every heartbeat echoing through my chest. The stakes were impossibly high, and despite my best efforts to focus on the plan, the anxiety I felt was nearly overwhelming. Jasper, Naomi, and Alice had decided to stay hidden with the rest of our small group, but I couldn’t stay away. I needed to see Elias with my own eyes, to witness the battle that would determine not just his fate, but all of ours. I crept through the underbrush, my heart pounding as the sounds of the duel grew louder. The clearing came into view, and my breath caught in my throat. Elias stood in the center, his posture fierce and determined. Caden, a towering figure of ar

    (Elias)The first light of dawn had barely touched the horizon when Alice and I finally met. Alice, though weary and disheveled, stood tall, her blue eyes searching through the shadows for the son she had heard so much about but never met. My heart pounded as I approached her. I had always known this moment would come, but nothing could have prepared me for the emotional turbulence of seeing my mother for the first time. Her eyes locked onto mine, and for a moment, we simply stood there, absorbing the gravity of the encounter. I could see the faint glimmer of tears in her eyes. “Elias,” she finally whispered, her voice trembling slightly. “My son.” I nodded, swallowing the lump in my throat. “Mother,” I replied, my voice steady but laced with emotion. “It’s been a long time.” Alice took a tentative step forward, her gaze softening as she took in the man her child had become. Her hand reached out hesitantly, and I met her halfway, our hands clasping in a tentative embrace.

    (Jasper)The day had been long and grueling, filled with the clash battle and the thunder of war cries echoing through the forest. As the sun dipped below the horizon, leaving streaks of orange and red in its wake, our camp settled into an uneasy calm. Both sides went back to their camps to take a respite, tending their wounds and sharpening their weapons. I stood apart from the others, my mind racing with thoughts of the battle and the looming mission ahead. Despite our victories during the day, the weight of our impending tasks pressed heavily on my shoulders. Elias and Iris were in deep discussion nearby, their voices low as they plotted our next move. “Iris,” Elias said, his tone earnest yet tinged with urgency, “we need to strike now, before Caden and Leila regroup. We have to rescue Alice and Naomi.” I watched Iris nod solemnly, her eyes reflecting the flickering firelight. “I know,” she replied, her voice steady despite the underlying tension. “Alice and I have a plan.

    (Iris)The sun barely broke through the canopy of the forest as the day began. Our camp was a hive of activity, warriors preparing for the battle that we knew was coming. The tension was thick in the air, every movement and every word tinged with urgency. Using the knowledge Alice and Naomi had gleaned from the old book, we were ready. We had deciphered the symbols, understanding their purposes and weaknesses. Every warrior was briefed on how to counter the traps and spells that Caden and Leila would undoubtedly use against us. As the morning wore on, the sounds of the enemy approaching became clearer. The clash was inevitable, and as the first wave of Caden’s warriors broke through the trees, we stood our ground. The battle erupted in a storm of clashing steel and snarling wolves. “Elias! Over here!” I shouted, pointing to a group of enemies trying to flank us. Elias nodded, leading a charge that quickly turned the tide in our favor. “Remember the words!” Jasper yelled to th

    (Iris)The argument reached a fever pitch, their voices a cacophony of anger and pain that seemed to echo through the entire camp. My head pounded, my heart ached, and I felt on the verge of breaking. Just when I thought I couldn’t take it anymore, a commanding voice cut through the chaos. “Enough!” It was my voice that spoke the word, but it was Alice’s in my mind. All eyes turned to me, and I let her speak through me. “This is not the time for petty grievances. We are on the brink of war, and unity is our only chance of survival.” Jasper and Elias exchanged one last, heated glare, before stepping back, their anger momentarily quelled by Alice’s intervention. I let out a breath I hadn’t realized I was holding, grateful for the respite. I stepped forward, holding the magic stone, surrendering to its power. Its surface shimmered with a faint, otherworldly glow. “I have something important to show you,” she and I said. I placed the stone on the ground and whispered Alice’s

    (Iris)I walked down the familiar path, the towering trees feeling like old friends. But this time, the path was crowded with hundreds of warriors, their footsteps creating a steady, rhythmic sound against the forest floor. The air was thick with anticipation, the scent of pine mingling with sweat and metal. Despite the presence of the warriors, I felt a gnawing emptiness inside me. Naomi was still unreachable, and the uncertainty of her fate weighted heavily on my heart. As night fell, the camp was set up, and the warriors huddled around their fires, sharing stories and laughter that felt foreign to me in my current state of mine. I found Elias near a small fire, the flickering flames casting shadows on his face. I hesitated for a moment before approaching him, my heart pounding in my chest. “Elias,” I said softly, drawing his attention. He looked up, his expression unreadable. “Iris,” he replied, motioning for me to sit beside him. We sat in awkward silence for a few minute

    (Naomi)I sat on the edge of the narrow bed, my fingers tracing the rough seams of the thin blanket. I had been in this small, dimly lit room for a day now. The walls, adorned with faded, peeling wallpaper, seemed to close in on me, suffocating me with their silence. The only window offered a dismal view of the alley below, where shadows moved and whispered in the night. I replayed the events of the previous evening in my mind. After handing over the necklace Jasper had given me to Alice, I had hoped for a moment of rest. But I knew I hadn’t been subtle enough. The weight of my actions pressed down on my chest like a stone. It wasn’t long after the necklace exchange that Caden and Leila showed up. Their arrival had been swift and silent, their expressions a mix of cold determination and malice. I had tried to act nonchalant, but the flicker of recognition in their eyes told me they had seen through my facade. “You know you can’t keep running like this,” Caden had said softly, h

    (Iris)Alice was skin and bones now, but her features were striking, and her eyes were blue like ice. Just like Elias’s. I could see the family resemblance, the same cold, piercing gaze that felt like it could cut through stone. “You are such a lovely-looking girl. So much like your mother,” Alice said softly, her voice almost a whisper, yet it carried a weight that made me shiver. I guessed she could see me too. I stepped closer, feeling a strange pull toward her, as if an invisible thread was drawing me in. Her presence was both comforting and unsettling, a paradox that I couldn’t quite unravel. “Open your eyes and I will see what you see. This is the function of this stone. A very powerful Lycan magic is fused in this. I gave it to your mother for safekeeping in case it fell into the wrong hands.” “Like Caden?” I asked, the name slipping out before I could stop it. Alice nodded, her expression darkening. “Sure. But mainly their grandfather. He is an evil man. Twenty years ago
