"Hold still," Helena commands gently, adjusting the ceremonial silver circlet nestled in my hair. "The ancient symbols must align precisely."

My reflection stares back from the ornate mirror – a stranger dressed in traditional Luna garments with distinctly non-traditional modifications. The gown follows royal protocol in its elegant silver-white fabric, but embroidered healing symbols edge the sleeves and neckline, acknowledging the heritage I once had to hide.

"Nervous?" Iris asks, arranging the ceremonial cloak around my shoulders. Through the open bond, I know Alaric senses my anxiety despite our agreement to maintain mental distance until the ceremony.

"Is it that obvious?" My hands smooth non-existent wrinkles from the dress.

"Only to those who know you well." Helena's fingers work with practiced precision, securing ancient silver pins. "I felt the same before my marking ceremony."

That gives me pause. The composed, elegant queen I've come to know seems incapable of such unce

  • The Lycan King's Outcast Omega   Ch. 126

    SageThe marking itself takes mere moments, but its effects ripple outward like stones dropped in still water. Our bond strengthens impossibly, barriers between us dissolving until I can scarcely tell where my consciousness ends and his begins. His emotions flood through me – possessive pride, fierce protection, and beneath it all, love so profound it defies description.When he finally withdraws, licking the wound closed with an intensity that sends shivers through my entire body, the witnesses return to complete the ritual. Ancient words acknowledge what has already transpired spiritually – we are bound, marked, mated before all laws recognized by wolfkind.The celebration that follows our return to the packhouse rivals any in kingdom memory. Music and feasting fill every corner, warriors and nobles alike drinking to their newly official queen. Through it all, Alaric keeps me close, his hand rarely leaving mine, his eyes tracking my movements with heightened attention."You've made q

    SagePower surges through me like nothing I've experienced before – not the gentle healing energy I once knew, not even the evolved abilities that fought corruption. This is something primal, instinctive, responding to threat against mate and self.Light explodes from my hands without conscious direction, forming a barrier between us and the approaching wolves. Not destructive force but something more subtle – energy that neutralizes the pheromones driving them to madness, temporarily dampening the biological imperatives overwhelming their reason.The pursuing wolves falter, confusion replacing feral hunger as my scent suddenly becomes muted to their senses. Through our bond, Alaric's surprise mingles with fierce pride as he takes advantage of their momentary disorientation."Now!" His partially shifted form moves with lethal grace, clearing a path toward our chambers. His claws extend, not to injure packmates who can't help their reactions, but to establish dominance, to warn away any

    AlaricI gather Sage closer, her skin burning against mine as another wave of heat gradually builds within her. My beast remains dangerously close to the surface despite our multiple joinings, instinct refusing to let me fully relax while my mate is in heat."The marking... it triggered this?" Her voice comes soft, vulnerable in a way few ever witness."For true mates, it often does." My fingers trace possessive patterns across her skin, unable to stop touching her even in these moments of clarity. "The ancient bond becoming physically manifested... it can trigger biological responses.""I've never..." Color rises in her cheeks, endearing despite what we've shared over the past hours. "This is my first..."Something primal and satisfied rumbles through my chest at her admission. My beast preens at being the only one to ever experience her like this, to claim her during her first heat."I know, sweetling. Your first heat."Pride surges through me, though I try to temper it through our b

    AlaricDays blur together as her heat continues – moments of primal claiming followed by brief periods of clarity. During these interludes, I care for her with attention that would surprise those who know only the Lycan King, not the mate. I bring water, food, cool cloths for her overheated skin – anything to ease what her body endures.The ancient chambers seem to respond to her condition, the air cycling cooler during her fever peaks, the lighting adjusting without command to soothe her sensitive eyes. These rooms have witnessed countless royal heat cycles through generations, designed with ancient magic that recognizes and responds to a queen's needs.Between her heat waves, I find myself unable to move far from her side, Phantom refusing to relax his vigilance. Each small sound from beyond our door heightens my alertness, my senses hyper-focused on potential threats despite the chambers' impenetrable protections. The instinct to guard my vulnerable mate overrides all rational thoug

    Sage"Are you ready?" Alaric asks, his hand resting on the chamber door we haven't opened in nearly a week. Through our bond, his reluctance to return to the outside world mirrors my own."As I'll ever be," I reply, smoothing the front of my dress one final time. Nothing about my appearance betrays what might be growing inside me, yet I feel fundamentally changed in ways that surely must be visible to everyone we encounter.The moment the door opens, reality rushes back – guards snapping to attention, servants averting their eyes with knowing deference, the weight of kingdom responsibilities descending upon us once more. Through our bond, I feel Alaric's beast remain unusually close to the surface, hypervigilant despite the apparent calm of the packhouse corridors.We make our way toward the great hall for morning council, eyes following our progress with barely concealed curiosity. The wolves who witnessed my heat's dramatic beginning now watch with new awareness, particularly the unm

    SageIn the spirit of living in the present, I push all future concerns aside, willing away my worries and focusing on the joy radiating through our bond. Alaric’s excitement is infectious and I won’t disappoint him by borrowing trouble from tomorrow. "We should tell Helena and Iris," I suggest as we walk toward our private quarters. "Before they guess on their own."Alaric nods, though I sense his reluctance to share our news with anyone, even family. His beast has already categorized our child as something to be fiercely guarded, information about its existence included in that protection.As we move through the packhouse corridors, I notice how his body subtly positions itself between me and others we pass. His hand, once casually resting at the small of my back, now presses with slight but constant pressure, guiding me away from anything he perceives as potential danger - from servants carrying trays to warriors engaged in routine patrols."You realize you're doing it, don't you?"

    SageTwo weeks pass in a whirlwind of preparation. Though my body shows no outward signs of the life growing within, everything around me transforms in anticipation of the announcement. Security tightens to levels that would seem excessive if not for the fierce determination I feel through our bond each time Alaric issues another protective measure."The eastern balcony provides the best security profile," Garrett explains, reviewing the announcement plans one final time. "Clear sight lines, controlled access points, multiple escape routes if needed.""It's a pregnancy announcement, not a military operation," I point out, though I've long since stopped fighting the increased protection. Through our bond, Alaric's approval flows as Garrett continues outlining security measures that would befit a declaration of war rather than new life.While they finalize logistics, my own preparations have taken a different direction. Since Iris's casual mention of the prophecy, I've devoted every spar

    SageThe morning of the announcement dawns clear and bright, as if the Moon Goddess herself approves our news. I stand before the mirror in our chambers, studying my reflection for any visible sign of the changes occurring within. Though my body appears unchanged, through our bond, Alaric's perception of me has transformed completely – his mate, his queen, and now carrier of his child."You're certain about this?" he asks one final time, his hands settling on my shoulders as he meets my eyes in the reflection. "We could wait longer.""We've waited long enough." My decision hasn't wavered despite the prophecy's discovery. "The kingdom deserves to know their future heir approaches."What remains unspoken is our strategic reasoning – controlling the narrative before rumors of prophecies overshadow simple joy at a royal birth. Through our bond, our shared determination flows both ways, strengthening our united front.The royal apartments bustle with activity as final preparations unfold. H

    Lyra The morning light is a soft intrusion, warm on my eyelids and tangled limbs. I wake in the circle of his arms, the night before replaying in vivid, lingering bursts. My body is a symphony of aches and satisfaction, reminders of just how thoroughly bonded we have become.I shift slightly, feeling the press of his skin against mine, and my breath catches at the heady intimacy of it. He murmurs something in his sleep and pulls me closer, as if even unconscious he can't bear for there to be any distance between us. The memory of our first night together blooms in my mind, a kaleidoscope of sensation and emotion.I remember the way he groaned my name as I collapsed against him, spent and breathless, the echo of our shared release reverberating through the bond."Does it hurt?" he asked.It had, but not in the way he meant. The stretch of him inside me was so overwhelming, so intense, but exquisitely good, and the moment I adjusted, it was as if my body couldn't get enough."More," I

    Alexander I close the distance between us in one stride, my mouth finding hers with newfound urgency. Her response is immediate and enthusiastic, her body arching into mine as her arms wind around my neck. I tug gently at her loosened tunic, breaking the kiss only long enough to ask, "May I?"She nods, and I slip the garment from her shoulders, letting it fall to the floor. My breath catches at the sight of her—strong and lithe from years of healing work, skin pale gold in the afternoon light, the curve of her waist flaring into hips still covered by her leggings. The binding around her chest is utilitarian rather than decorative, but somehow all the more appealing for its practicality."You're beautiful," I tell her, because it's true and because the flush that spreads across her cheeks at the compliment is worth any momentary awkwardness."You're still wearing too many clothes," she points out, fingers already working at the fastenings of my shirt.I laugh, the sound rusty with dis

    Alexander I stand in the doorway of Lyra's chambers, all my carefully prepared words evaporating at the sight of her. She looks exhausted but resolute, chin lifted slightly in that way I've come to recognize means she's bracing for an argument. The bond between us pulses with conflicting emotions—relief at our proximity battling with the lingering tension from our courtyard confrontation."Can I come in?" I ask, my voice softer than I intended.She nods, stepping back to allow me entry. I close the door behind me, grateful for the privacy after our too-public disagreement earlier."I owe you an apology," I begin, pride giving way to more important priorities. "My reaction to your return was..." I search for the right word."Possessive? Accusatory? Completely unfair?" she supplies, though the slight curve of her lips takes some sting from the words."All of the above," I admit with a rueful smile. "I was worried sick, Lyra. The bond separation, the power surges, the reports of Vega's a

    Lyra The palace looks different this time—less intimidating, more like a potential sanctuary than a gilded prison. Maybe it's because I'm not arriving as a captive or a curiosity, but as someone making a conscious choice to return. Or maybe I'm just too exhausted to be intimidated anymore."You okay?" Kieran asks, pulling his horse alongside mine as we approach the eastern gate."Just tired," I assure him, though that's only part of the truth. The bond with Alexander strengthens with every hoofbeat closer to the palace, the familiar silver warmth spreading through my chest after days of uncomfortable stretching.The guards at the gate snap to attention when they recognize me, their expressions a mixture of relief and curiosity. They wave us through with minimal questions, though I notice how their eyes linger on Kieran and the other healers with suspicion.Some things haven't changed, then.The eastern courtyard bustles with activity—servants carrying supplies, guards changing shifts,

    Alexander "Your Highness, the eastern patrol has returned."I look up from the maps spread across my desk to see Captain Merrick standing at attention in the doorway. The grim set of his mouth tells me he's not bringing good news."Report," I command, straightening to my full height."We've confirmed the presence of at least eight individuals matching Northern territory descriptions moving through the eastern forests." He points to the area on my map where Lyra's healing community had relocated. "They're using search patterns consistent with tracking specific targets, not random patrols."My stomach knots. "How close to the healer settlement?""Too close," he admits. "Less than five miles from their last known location."A surge of power—part Alpha, part healing—runs through me at the news, making the maps glow faintly beneath my hands. I've been fighting these manifestations all day, each one stronger than the last as the bond between Lyra and me stretches with our separation."Shit,

    Lyra "What existed between us was real," I acknowledge quietly. "Friendship, respect, potential for more. I never denied that.""And now?" His question carries no accusation, only sincere desire to understand where my boundaries are now."Now complexity exists where once things seemed so simple between us, so easy." I reply, honesty demanded by years of trust between us. "The bond with Alexander doesn't erase what came before, but it changes the context irrevocably."He reaches out slowly, giving me time to withdraw if I choose, and gently brushes a strand of hair from my face. The casual intimacy of the gesture—one he's performed countless times before—suddenly carries a different weight, awareness crackling between us like the static before a storm."If fate hadn't intervened," he murmurs, "if you'd never met him...""We can't know that path because we're not walking it," I interrupt gently, though I don't pull away from his touch. "Speculating about what might have been only makes

    LyraThe familiar scents of wild herbs and wood smoke welcome me as we crest the final ridge overlooking our community's temporary settlement. After the palace's overwhelming grandeur, the simple cluster of hide tents and wooden shelters feels like drawing a deep breath after being underwater too long. My shoulders relax instinctively, the tight knot of tension court life created beginning to loosen."You look happier already," Kieran observes, pulling his horse alongside mine. His green eyes study me with the perception that comes from years of friendship. "The palace weighs on you.""It's... different," I acknowledge, remaining deliberately neutral despite the relief coursing through me. "Complex in ways I never imagined.""And the prince?" he asks carefully. "Is he worth the complexity?"The question carries layers beneath its simplicity. Through our temporarily stabilized bond, I feel Alexander's presence like a silver thread stretched thin but unbroken between us. Even discussing

    Alexander Throughout the day, power surges continue with increasing frequency and intensity. During an afternoon security briefing, my Alpha energy flares so strongly that decorative weapons mounted on the walls rattle in their holdings. Later, while reviewing border reports, healing power manifests as visible glow surrounding my hands, making parchment maps luminescent where I touch them.By evening, controlling these manifestations requires constant focus, draining energy needed for royal duties that cannot be postponed despite my discomfort. The council reconvenes to discuss increased activity along the eastern border—reports of strangers matching Northern territory descriptions moving through regions where healing communities traditionally hide."Vega's agents, most likely," Dominic assesses, pointing to locations marked on the tactical map. "Their movement patterns suggest searching rather than random patrol.""Searching for what?" Lord Harrison questions."Not what—who," I corre

    Alexander The council chamber feels like a trap this morning—a gilded cage of obligation, duty, and politics that keeps me from what I truly want to be doing. My attention drifts repeatedly toward the window, toward the eastern gate where I know Lyra will soon depart with Kieran. Every instinct rebels against letting her leave the palace, letting her travel with another man who clearly harbors feelings for her."Your Highness?" Lord Harrison's voice cuts through my distraction. "Your thoughts on the Northern territories' proposal?"I refocus on the documents before me, forcing composure over agitation. "Their offer of partial reparations is insufficient," I state, scanning the diplomatic language that disguises the Northern delegation's attempt to minimize consequences for their actions. "They participated in an unprovoked attack on our throne. I won’t accept anything less than full accountability."The council members exchange glances, some approving, others concerned."The Northern
