Ares’ POV

She was really enjoying this.

That should have worried me,

It did not.

I watched her buckle her gear strap. Her hands were steady. No hesitation. No second thoughts.

Lyra used to survive by taking a lot of hits.

Then she got smarter, found ways to avoid them.

Now she sees it coming.

Scary.

But honestly, Its beautiful.

She walked across the room. The mist followed her, not being pulled, but was with her.

Like it was meant to move when she moved.

She did not have to force it.

It just kn

  • Rejected and Banished: Claimed by the Lycan King   The Funeral of a Hero

    LYRAThe war ended at sunrise.We buried our dead at sunset.The sanctuary had never been so quiet.The cries of battle had been replaced by the soft rustling of silver blossoms drifting from the Heart Tree. Every breeze carried their petals across the sacred grounds, as though the mountain itself mourned those it had lost.Rows of warriors stood in complete silence.Their battered armor still bore the scars of the final battle. Some leaned on crutches. Others carried fresh bandages across their faces and arms.No one complained.Pain felt insignificant today.Today belonged to those who would never stand again.At the center of the sanctuary rested a single coffin.It wasn’t carved from gold.Nor decorated with jewels.Raze would’ve hated that.Instead, Rowan had chosen white oak from the oldest tree growing within the sanctuary walls.Its surface remained almost untouched, save for one symbol carved into the lid.A silver wolf.Not a crown.Not a sword.Just a wolf looking toward th

  • Rejected and Banished: Claimed by the Lycan King   Mercy's Choice

    LYRAThe battlefield was silent.Not because there was no one left standing.Because no one knew what came next.The Shadow was gone.Its screams had faded into the morning sky, leaving only the gentle rustle of silver blossoms drifting from the Heart Tree.For the first time in years...The sanctuary felt alive.Sunlight spilled through the broken ceiling, warming the ancient stone beneath my feet.It should have felt like victory.Instead...It felt like loss.My eyes found the place where Raze had fallen.The silver dagger still rested there.Untouched.No one had dared move it.It had become more than a weapon.It had become a promise.---Serena remained on her knees beside it.She hadn't spoken since the Shadow disappeared.Her hands trembled as she traced the worn leather around the hilt."I used to tease him about this dagger," she whispered.Her voice was hoarse from crying."I told him one day he'd replace it with a better one."A sad smile crossed her face."He never did."

  • Rejected and Banished: Claimed by the Lycan King   The End of the Shadow

    LYRAThe moment I put on the Crown, the world got really loud.It was not because of people talking.It was because of life.The mountain under my feet pounded like it had a heartbeat.The rivers flowing under the sanctuary sounded like lullabies.Every silver root coming from the Heart Tree had whispers from the Queens who came before me.They were not talking to me; they were standing with me.I was not alone anymore.The silver flowers floated through the sanctuary like stars falling from the sky.They landed on wounded warriors and scared children.Wherever they landed, the pain got better.Broken bones got fixed.Cuts started to heal.The Heart was listening to its Queen.All the warriors on the battlefield stopped fighting.Even the bad wolves stopped.Their red eyes looked at me.The Shadow felt it too.The big creature was over the sanctuary, its body moving like smoke in the sky.Thousands of eyes opened on its body, all looking at me with hate.For some time, it looked unsur

  • Rejected and Banished: Claimed by the Lycan King   The Silver Queen

    LYRAThe world became really quiet. It was not because the fighting had stopped. It was because I was filled with sadness and I could not hear anything. I could not hear the wolves. I could not hear the warriors shouting. I could not even hear my heartbeat. All I could see was Raze. Rather, the place where Raze had been. The silver light was. Only the old dagger was left on the cracked stone floor.A man who had carried the weight of his mistakes for years had vanished with a face. For a time nobody moved. Then Serena screamed. It was not the cry of a warrior. It was not the roar of a queen. It was the sob of a woman who had just lost the only person who had never stopped believing in her.She held the dagger to her chest as she fell to the floor. "Nooo..." Her voice cracked. "No Raze..." Her tears fell on the blade. "I finally remembered who I was." "You were not supposed to leave." She pressed her forehead against the cold steel. "I was supposed to tell you..." She could not fin

  • Rejected and Banished: Claimed by the Lycan King   A Promise Kept

    RAZE Every promise has a cost. Some promises take time. Some promises take trust. My promise took everything I had. The silver dagger felt light in my hand as I walked through the battlefield. Warriors were fighting the pack all around me. I could barely hear them. My eyes were fixed on Serena.. Maybe I was looking at the woman trapped inside her. Each step I took brought back a memory. I remembered the chapel we used to visit. I remembered the burnt rabbit that made us laugh all night. I remembered the girl Serena saved from a fire. I remembered the time Serena told me she was scared. I remembered the time I promised to always be there for her. I broke that promise a long time ago.. Now I wanted to keep it. The Shadow sensed I was getting close. Serena's body straightened up in a way—her head. A smile spread across her face. "You've accepted your fate " The Shadow said. "I've accepted my responsibility " I replied. The Shadow laughed. "They're not the same " it said. "No

  • Rejected and Banished: Claimed by the Lycan King   The Final Goodbye

    RAZE The gates of the sanctuary did not just open they exploded. The old stone burst into a thousand pieces making a deafening noise and sending dust and broken pillars crashing into the sanctuary. The impact was so strong that it threw soldiers off their feet. Some of them never got up again. A loud howl filled the mountain as the cursed pack of wolves surged through the entrance. There were hundreds of them, with eyes that glowed like embers and black fur with red veins beneath. These were not wolves anymore they were like nightmares that looked like wolves. Commander Rowan shouted "Hold the line". His warriors answered without hesitation. The sound of steel hitting claws filled the air and the silence of the Heart Chamber was replaced with screams, battle cries, and the sound of metal tearing through flesh. The final battle had begun for me and the people around me. I did not move, not yet. I watched Serena, who was walking through the ruined gateway as if she were enter
