Cara AndersonHello lovely readers! Just a heads up, I will be traveling next week. I still intend to post my regularly scheduled updates Monday-Saturday but may not be able to do two chapters every day depending on how much time I have to write. Thank you for reading and I'll see you on Monday!

The Lycan King's Outcast Omega Ch. 22
SeleneIndecision wars within me as I consider what I must do tonight. And I know I must, Magistra Vega’s keen attention to my every move reminds me of that. Still, my mind keeps wandering back to earlier today, to my encounter with the Silverspiral healer, and the way I found my commitment to our plan shaken to its core. As I follow our small party through the forest, the healer enclave's location burns in my memory from hours spent studying maps, reports from scouts, and ancient texts describing where surviving healers might hide after the purges. But knowing its approximate location and actually finding it are different matters—these people have evaded discovery for generations.A scout returns silently, dropping to one knee before me. "Princess, we've located the settlement. Half a mile north, nestled against the cliff face. They appear to be in the process of evacuation.""They know we're coming," Krell growls."Then we move now," Vega decides, gesturing the group forward. "Reme

SeleneHours later, freshly bathed and impeccably dressed in a gown designed specifically for the final night of the Choosing Gala, I enter Magistra Vega's chambers for our ritual preparation. She sits at a table covered with ceremonial implements—silver bowls, ancient texts, herbs and crystals arranged in precise patterns."Princess," she acknowledges without warmth. "We have adjusted our approach given the night's failure."Baron Krell stands by the window, his military posture never relaxing even in private. "The ritual will proceed as planned," he informs me. "With one significant modification."Vega indicates a delicate crystal vial containing iridescent blue liquid. "Dream flower essence," she explains. "Extremely potent, especially to one with dual nature like the prince. Combined with certain catalysts, it will trigger the separation we require.""Without a Silverspiral healer?" I question, eyeing the vial warily."We have other resources," Vega says dismissively. "Less ideal,

Alexander My vision tunnels as I collapse to the floor of the Great Ballroom, the crystal goblet shattering beside me. Cold fire races through my veins, a painful contradiction that feels like being simultaneously frozen and burned from the inside out. Every nerve screams in protest as something fundamental inside me begins to tear apart.Through the haze of agony, I hear my father's roar of rage, see guards surging forward, feel the collective shock rippling through the assembled dignitaries. But most clearly, I see Selene's face above me, her perfect mask finally slipping to reveal complex emotions—determination, regret, and something that might be remorse."Only I can save him," she announces to the horrified crowd, her voice carrying with practiced authority. "The prophecy has been set in motion. The ritual must be completed tonight, or your heir will die."The betrayal cuts deeper than the physical pain. Despite my suspicions, despite all the warnings, some part of me had hoped s

Alexander’s Alpha Half"And if I refuse to participate in this binding?" I ask, already knowing the answer."Your participation is not required," Krell informs me with cold precision. "Only your essence is necessary. The ritual binds power to power, bloodline to bloodline. Your conscious cooperation is irrelevant."We emerge into another chamber I've never seen before, clearly prepared for ritual purposes. A circle of silver powder marks the floor, surrounded by candles and ceremonial objects arranged in patterns I don't recognize. Moonlight streams through a circular opening in the ceiling, illuminating the center of the circle where two smaller rings intersect.Selene stands by the circle's edge, her expression carefully neutral as she completes preparation of some aromatic substance in a silver bowl. She still avoids meeting my gaze directly."You can't seriously support this," I say to her, straining against my captors. "Destroying half of someone's essence—you know that's wrong. W

Alexander’s Healing HalfMiles away, in a hidden chamber of the Old Tower, I open eyes that feel newly formed. My body seems insubstantial, glowing faintly with healing energy that defines my edges rather than solid flesh. I am Alexander, yet not fully Alexander—only the healing half, separated from my Alpha essence by Selene's ritual.Lyra kneels beside me, her hands passing through my semi-translucent form as she tries to help me sit up. Elara stands nearby, her violet eyes wide with the shock of seeing her brother literally split in two."It was Selene," I explain, my voice softer than my normal tone, gentler without the Alpha undertones that usually ground it. "The potion they gave me triggered the splitting. I—I'm only half of myself now.""Your Alpha half," Lyra says, understanding immediately. "They've kept it for the binding ritual."I nod, feeling strangely calm despite the dire circumstances. Without my Alpha nature, emotions like rage and fierce protectiveness are muted, rep

Alexander’s Healing HalfI navigate through the ventilation system, drawn inexorably toward the East Wing and the ritual chamber where my Alpha half struggles against forced binding. As I approach, I can sense the powerful energies being channeled—ancient magics that seek to override natural bonds, to force connections where none should exist.And at the center of it all, my other half—my Alpha essence—fighting with characteristic determination against the violation being committed against him. I feel his recognition as I draw nearer, his desperate relief at the prospect of reunification, his warning about the ritual's advanced state.I emerge from a ventilation opening near the ceiling of the ritual chamber, my semi-translucent form likely invisible to those focused on the ceremony below. What I see confirms our worst fears: my Alpha half kneeling within a silver circle, restrained but defiant; Selene opposite him, her expression conflicted; Vega chanting words of binding as moonlight

Lyra The taste of failure burns bitter in my throat as Elara pulls me through hidden passages away from the chaos of the failed ritual. My fingers still tingle from where they passed through Alexander's fading form—his healing essence scattering like mist at dawn, his Alpha half dragged away to some "secondary location" I have no way of finding."We need to keep moving," Elara urges, her voice tight with suppressed panic. "The Northern delegation will be searching the entire palace."I follow mechanically, the amulet cold against my chest where moments ago it burned with silver fire. The connection to Alexander—to both halves of him—flickers like a candle in strong wind, growing weaker with each passing minute."We failed," I whisper as we descend a narrow staircase hidden behind a tapestry. "He's fading, Elara. I can feel it."She glances back at me, her violet eyes fierce with determination that reminds me painfully of her brother. "We haven't failed yet. We disrupted the binding ri

LyraThe amulet pulses more insistently now, almost burning against my skin. Acting on instinct, I press it directly against the largest spiral carving on the cliff. For a breathless moment, nothing happens. Then, with a sound like distant chimes, silver light spreads from the amulet into the carving, illuminating hidden patterns that connect across the entire wall.The rock face trembles slightly, and a section slides inward to reveal a narrow passage leading into darkness."The Cave of Whispers," Elara breathes, awe evident in her voice.Dominic quickly fashions torches from branches and cloth in his pack, lighting them to illuminate our way. The passage beyond the entrance descends steeply, carved steps worn smooth by the passage of feet long ago. The air feels strangely alive, currents moving in patterns that don't follow natural drafts.As we descend deeper, I become aware of sounds just at the edge of hearing—whispers that seem to form words in languages I don't recognize yet som

The Lycan King's Outcast Omega Ch. 51
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
The Lycan King's Outcast Omega Ch. 48
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,
The Lycan King's Outcast Omega Ch. 47
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,
The Lycan King's Outcast Omega Ch. 46
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
The Lycan King's Outcast Omega Ch. 45
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
The Lycan King's Outcast Omega Ch. 44
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
The Lycan King's Outcast Omega Ch. 43
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
