Caspian

I should not have gone near her, but I did, and now that I had, it was a miracle how I'd been able to pull myself from that situation.

The thought repeated in my head like a curse the entire way out of the training room, but it didn’t matter because my body still remembered everything anyway.

The heat of her, the look in her eyes, and the way her breath had caught when I pinned her against the wall.

Fuck.

I dragged a hand through my damp hair and kept walking, my jaw loc

  • The Lycan King's Secret Heirs    One Hundred and Fourteen

    Daisy Silence had a way of becoming loud when you were alone.It filled every corner of my room, pressing against me until even breathing felt like an effort.I sat by the window with my knees drawn to my chest, watching the late afternoon sun stretch across the gardens below.I couldn't remember how long I'd been sitting there. Minutes, hours or maybe even longer, I wasn't sure anymore. All I knew was that everything that had happened over the past few days kept replaying inside my head like a story I couldn't escape.I thought about Elias, my parents, Caspian, the accusations and the kiss.I squeezed my eyes shut.I'd spent so long chasing answers that I'd somehow forgotten how heavy the truth could be.A soft knock sounded at the door before I could think further. I barely reacted but another knock followed and then the door opened.I looked up as Caspian stepped inside. He didn't rush toward me and he didn't call my name either. He simply closed the door quietly behind him.S

  • The Lycan King's Secret Heirs    One Hundred and Thirteen

    Caspian The folder rested on the passenger seat the entire drive. I never looked at it and I didn't need to.Every page inside had already carved itself into my memory.Victor's letter, Henry's records, the altered medical report, and the financial ledger. Years of lies compressed into a stack of paper that weighed more than it had any right to.By the time I reached Elias's office, I wasn't angry anymore, anger had burned itself out somewhere along the way.What remained was colder.“I'll let him know you're here.” The receptionist looked up as I approached. "He's expecting…..""I know where his office is."She opened her mouth to protest, then thought better of it.I didn't stop.The hallway felt strangely familiar now, every step reminding me of my last visit. The visit where I'd walked away with questions, but today, I carried answers.I pushed the door open without knocking and Elias looked up from behind his desk.For a fleeting moment, surprise crossed his face, then it dis

    Caspian I didn't speak.I couldn't, not when the single name lying on the desk between us seemed to swallow every other thought inside my head.Elias.For days, I'd suspected him, for weeks, I'd questioned his motives and now suspicion had become something far heavier.Proof.I stared at the folder, waiting for my mind to reject it, to tell me there had been some mistake, but it never did.Instead, the investigator quietly walked around the desk and stopped beside me."I know what you're thinking."“Really?’ I tore my eyes away from the file. "Do you?""You're wondering whether this is enough.""...Is it?" I looked back at the papersInstead of answering, he opened the folder completely."We're not looking at one piece of evidence." He pulled out the first document. "We're looking at years of it."Without warning, he placed an old envelope on the desk. Its paper had yellowed with age, and the edges looked as though they'd crumble if handled too roughly."The handwriting was confirme

  • The Lycan King's Secret Heirs    One Hundred and Eleven

    Caspian The conversation refused to leave my head. No matter how hard I tried, every word Elias had spoken found its way back to me."She came back to you.""Interesting.""You're running out of time."I slammed my office door harder than I'd intended and the sound echoed through the room before silence settled once again. For what felt like the hundredth time that morning, I crossed the length of the office.Then I turned, walked back and turned again. Pacing had never solved a problem and it was no surprise that today wasn't any different.Every answer Elias had given had somehow managed to reveal absolutely nothing. Or maybe...I stopped beside the window. Maybe he'd revealed exactly what he'd wanted me to know.Nothing more, nothing less.I clenched my jaw as a curse bubbled in my throat, but I forced it back down anyway. I'd walked into his office believing I was finally going to corner him.Instead, he'd walked away knowing Daisy had come back to me. Knowing we'd spoken and

    Caspian Finding Elias had become a game. A frustrating one at that room .Every time I thought I was close, he somehow slipped through my fingers."He just left.""I'm afraid you missed him.""His meeting was canceled.""I haven't seen him today."Those were the responses that came from different faces and different voices, but they all had the same answer.By the fourth day, I stopped believing in coincidence. Whether he knew I was looking for him or not, the result remained the same.I never found him. So I changed my approach. Instead of chasing him, I made him come to me.His office was exactly as I remembered it. Ordeky and quiet, everything sat precisely where it belonged, from the neatly arranged files on his desk to the books lining the shelves behind him.Nothing about the room felt personal.It was a place built for conversations where one person always left knowing less than the other.I lowered myself into one of the chairs opposite his desk and waited.I didn't pace, d

    Caspian For the next couple of seconds, the only thing that registered in my ears was silence. It settled over the room so completely that I could hear Daisy's uneven breathing.I didn't look at Octavian, I couldn't, so my eyes stayed fixed on Daisy.She stood frozen where she was, tears clinging stubbornly to her lashes, her chest rising and falling far too quickly.“I kissed you because I was desperate.” Her words still echoed inside my head. “I thought if I could kiss someone else... maybe I'd stop loving him.”It should have hurt less than hearing she'd fallen for someone else. Instead, it hurt infinitely more because she'd tried. She'd genuinely tried to tear herself away from me, and she'd failed.A part of me wanted to be relieved by that, while the rest of me only wondered how much pain she'd been carrying to reach that point.Before I could say anything, Octavian spoke."You heard the wrong part."My gaze shifted to him. His expression remained calm, though I knew him we

    Daisy It hadn't been too long since the woman left, but the room felt too quiet and I hated it. It wasn't peaceful or calm, but it was waiting for something bad to happen perhaps. I stood in the middle of the room and unmoving, the soft fabric of the robe I had chosen clinging lightly to my sk

    Daisy The door opened before I could reach for it, and the cool night air brushed against my skin, but it wasn’t the chill that made me hesitate.It was everything else.I stepped out slowly, my bare feet meeting smooth stone, and for a second I forgot how to breathe. The Montenegro Palace rose

  • The Lycan King's Secret Heirs    Eighteen

    Daisy. The hour passed too quickly.One moment I was standing in that room, trying to make sense of everything, and the next, I was outside, walking toward a line of cars that looked like they had been pulled straight out of a world I didn’t belong in.They gleamed under the dim light, polished

  • The Lycan King's Secret Heirs    Seventeen

    Daisy “Stop.”My voice didn’t come out as strong as I wanted, but it carried. It cut through the room anyway and in the blink of an eye, everything stilled. My breath hitched in my throat as every head turned and every breath held. .I stood at the entrance, my chest rising and falling too fast
