The Lycan King’s Destiny 0058
Kayla's POVThe room seemed frozen in time, every face was locked in a state of disbelief as Kain’s announcement hung in the air.“I will be a better leader than the one who betrayed you all. I promise to grow our pack stronger than ever before.”“And now,” Kain continued, a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips, “enjoy the party. Celebrate the future.”His tone was casual, like he didn't just declare the death of his twin brother. I watched as he turned, his cloak swirling behind him as he made his way out of the hall. Without thinking, I followed him, my heart pounding in my chest. My footsteps were quick, but quiet, slipping through the crowd unnoticed until I was right behind him in the corridor.“Kain,” I called, my voice sharper than I intended. He stopped, not turning immediately, but I saw the tension in his shoulders.“I need to speak with you,” I insisted, moving to face him. His eyes met mine, unreadable, and I swallowed hard, forcing myself to stay calm.“Killing

Kayla's POVI had never seen a corpse before, especially one that reeked badly and was rotting with age, I couldn't bear staying in the room. My legs moved on their own accord before they buckled in the middle of the living room.I gasped, my knees colliding with the tile and a sickening crack rippled through the room, my body shaking uncontrollably. “No... no...” My voice cracked, barely audible between sobs.Raymond didn't follow and I was grateful. I let myself break down alone for a lady I didn't know.Eventually, his boots echoed down the hall. He stepped out, cradling a small, worn box in his hands. His expression was dark, almost unreadable, but his jaw clenched as he stopped in front of me."She didn’t die peacefully," Raymond murmured, eyes flicking down to the box. “Whoever did this made sure it wasn’t quick. Suffocation. Likely with a pillow."I wiped at my face, though my hands trembled, smearing tears across my cheeks. My body felt heavy, weighed down by guilt and sorrow.

Kayla's POV“You didn't pose the same claim when Kain handed in the first DNA reports”“Watch your tone Kayla!” The elder snapped back. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. It was infuriating how he could easily dismiss my claim, but they could let the same papers determine if the King would live or die.“There was a mix-up in the blood samples,” I insisted, my voice steady despite the tightness in my chest. “I swear, the first DNA reports aren’t accurate.”The council members exchanged glances, their whispers like the hiss of leaves in the wind. It felt like the entire room was holding its breath, waiting for someone to make the first move.“And you can prove that how?” The same elder spoke first.“The nurse Clara who had conducted the test. she is dead. She was killed to cover the tracks of the person who had deceived the entire pack”“That is a bold claim you're making Kayla. Especially one without any evidence. Your DNA reports prove nothing. If that will be all, we bid you fare

KLAUS' POV“Argh!” I screamed in pain and my body throbbed with the impact. The guard didn't stop using me as a dummy. My hands were chained while he attacked me like an animal.This had been my life since Kain locked me up. His way of trying to teach me a lesson, to show me what he endured when he was taken.I understood the message, but I wouldn’t break. I wouldn't let myself turn into the mad person he was.The man in front of me didn’t hold back. His knuckles cracked against my ribs, his breath labored from exertion. The room smelled of sweat and blood, my blood. It dripped from my busted lip, metallic and bitter as I swallowed down the taste of it.Footsteps echoed down the hall. They were slow, deliberate, sending the man back a step, worry flashing in his eyes. He didn’t hit me again. Instead, he lowered his fist, glancing toward the entrance with a nervous twitch in his jaw.A council member appeared, his robe sweeping the floor as he entered. His gaze swept the room, settling

Kayla's POVI sighed satisfied as I stretched out my arms, turning in the bed before blinking awake, I hadn't slept so well in days. Every muscle in my body felt relaxed till the unfamiliar scent of lavender and herbs filled my nose.I sat up with a blanket sliding off my legs. I could tell I was no longer in the palace; the walls were different and it looked like a garden had erupted in the middle of the room.“Ohh you're awake” A lady stepped in holding a wooden tray and a bowl nesting in the middle. The smell made my belly rumble but I forced myself to focus on the important things.“Where am I? What happened?”“You’re in my place, I rarely get visitors but mi casa tu casa” she reassured me, her tone soft. “You collapsed after the council meeting. I felt guilty and brought you here so you could recover.”The memories rushed back to my mother, the vision, the burning sensation when the seer used the wand or whatever it was she did. I swallowed hard, trying to piece it all together.
The Lycan King’s Destiny 0063
Kayla's POVIt felt like I had no more tears left to cry. A part of me went numb and the only senses working were the ones pushing my left foot, then right foot forward repeatedly.It felt like a cruel joke as I wandered aimlessly, I had fought for him, defended him when no one else did. And this was how he repaid me?With Lily? That snake!My vision spun, the world around me blurring, as if it didn’t want me to see just how shattered everything had become. I pressed my palm to my chest, as if I could somehow stop the ache, stop the hollow feeling that had taken root deep inside me. But it didn’t stop. It only grew stronger, tightening like a vice around my heart.“I have no one,” I whispered into the air, my voice barely audible, my throat raw from crying. My words were swallowed by the night, unheard by anyone. It was just me now, me and this suffocating loneliness.“I have nowhere” My step family? That was out of the question. I couldn’t go back there, not with Lily’s threats still
The Lycan King’s Destiny 0064
KLAUS' POV“Fuck!” I screamed out, punching into the double doors.“Don't beat yourself up. She deserves everything she's getting” Lily sneered, walking in my direction. She reached out to touch me, but I stepped back quickly."Get dressed and leave," I muttered, the words cutting, like glass in my throat.Lily blinked, her expression changing to one of disbelief. "What? Your majesty, don't be ridiculous. I'm not going anywhere."My fists clenched at my sides. "I won’t ask again."Her smirk faltered, but she tried again, brushing her fingers over my arm. "I'm here for you."That was it. “Out!” The roar that left my throat surprised even me. The walls seemed to vibrate with the force of it.For a moment, she just stared at me, her confidence shaken, but finally, she grabbed her clothes and stormed out, slamming the door behind her.My hands shook as I rubbed my face. What had I done? Kayla’s tear-streaked face flashed in my mind. I’d screwed up badly. I felt myself sober up and I felt
The Lycan King’s Destiny 0065
Kayla's POVIt started as a small sting through my subconscious, but then it intensified, the excruciating agony tore a scream from my lips.My eyes shot open. I had barely regained consciousness and partly felt I was in a terrible nightmare, but then another wave shot through my bones feeling like they had been drowned in acid. I couldn’t breathe, I couldn’t think beyond the pain clawing through me.“What are you doing to me?!” I shouted, my voice hoarse, trembling with panic. My vision focused on the circle of men raising their arms in my direction, sparks on their fingertips as they chanted a spell.Was this their way of torture?The chanting didn’t stop. Instead, the men around me moved closer, and my body jerked, writhing against the pressure on my chest. It felt like invisible hands were squeezing my lungs, crushing the life out of me with each breath I tried to take."Make it stop!" I screamed again, the sound echoing through the space, bouncing off the stone walls like it was
