Rurik Mansion – Medical Wing

03:41 a.m.

The room was silent, except for the soft hum of the medical monitors tracking Susan’s vital signs. Carla, with deep dark circles and a tired expression, had not left her side since they brought her unconscious friend in. Sitting next to the bed, she held Susan’s bandaged hand with care, as if her presence alone was enough to keep her anchored to life.

Suddenly, Susan drew in a sharp breath, like someone emerging from a long dive. Her green eyes flew open,

  • The Lycan’s Fated Mate   Chapter 46 – The Other Side of the Bond

    The corridors of the mansion seemed endless. Alexei walked with quick steps, the small glass container firmly held between his fingers. Inside it, the partially bitten brigadeiro, almost insignificant, too small to carry the chaos that had just destroyed the happiest night they had lived in weeks.The laughter, the wine, Carla’s smile, everything evaporated in a matter of seconds.The Lycan remained silent.Not due to lack of thoughts, but because all the attention of both was focused on a single presence. Carla. She was still alive, the bond said so, pulsing weakly, oscillating, but still existing, like a flame that refused to go out.“Breathe…” Alexei closed his eyes for a second while walking, his boots echoing on the stone floor. “Breathe, love. You promised. You promised you would stay with me. That you wouldn’t leave me.”The connection between them responded only with a distant sensation.Pain. A lot of pain. A pain that burned, that corroded, that spread through the body like

    Susan and Lyra knelt beside Carla. The little fairy held her face with both hands, a golden light emerging from her palms.For a second, it seemed to work. Then the light vanished, as if swallowed by a hungry darkness. Lyra paled, her face losing all color. She tried again, her hands trembling. Nothing. The light simply wouldn’t take.“I… I can’t…” Her voice came out weak, her eyes filling with tears. “My magic isn’t working. It’s like something is blocking it.”Susan immediately took over. Her green eyes turned golden, Morrigan’s power coursing through her veins. She placed her hands on Carla’s chest, and a golden light — more intense, more ancient — enveloped her friend’s body.For a moment, it seemed to work. Carla’s breathing stabilized.Then she arched her body. She vomited even more blood, much more, a dark torrent that spread across the marble. Susan stopped immediately, pulling her hands back as if burned.Everyone looked at her. The blood spread across the floor began to dark

    “I imagined it. From the day I left his property.”“I also imagined this day would come.” Anatolie placed a hand on his son’s shoulder, the gesture heavy with meaning. “For years, I was afraid. Afraid you would leave, afraid of losing you, afraid of dividing our family again.” His voice grew lower, rougher. “So I hid that possibility. I thought I was protecting you. Maybe I was protecting myself.”Alexei remained silent, but his eyes held no accusation — only listening.“Today I understand that would have been selfish. And I have already been selfish for far too long.” Anatolie took a deep breath before concluding: “The decision is yours. If you want to get to know the Demidovs, do it. If you want to spend time with Boris, spend it. If you want to understand who your mother was on that side of the family, understand. I will not stand in your way. Never again.”Alexei remained motionless for several seconds, processing every word. Then he smiled faintly — a small, melancholic, but real

    The dinner was exactly as it should have been. Light, noisy, full of laughter. Demyan told stories about his mischief at the supernatural school, something involving a talking stuffed rabbit, a mud puddle, and a teacher who “made an angry face.”Lyra laughed softly at Sasha’s constant teasing. He never missed an opportunity to provoke his girlfriend.“Love, are you laughing at me?”“A little bit. Just a little bit.”“Betrayal. In front of everyone.”She simply held his hand under the table, their fingers intertwining. Sasha smiled immediately, the offended act vanishing.“It’s hard to keep complaining like this. You fight dirty.”Dmitry watched the scene, one eyebrow raised.“Impressive.”“What?” Sasha asked, still holding Lyra’s hand.“You really got domesticated. I never thought I’d live to see the day.”“She worked a miracle. I was a lost cause.”Lyra blushed, her cheeks turning pink.“Sasha…”“See?” He pointed at her with his fork. “She says my name like that and I forget what I w

    September 15 — TuesdayAlexei parked the black BMW in front of the hospital a few minutes before eight in the morning. The engine was still purring softly while he checked the passenger seat for the third time: a thermal tray, two coffees, two still-warm croissants, orange juice, and a small box of colorful macarons.“Shift.” The Lycan’s voice sounded resigned. “She’s going to come out with that face that says she forgot the world exists.”“I know.” Alexei smiled, his eyes fixed on the hospital door. “It’s the twenty-four-hour shift face.”“She even forgot her own birthday. She hasn’t mentioned the date once.”“Better that way. The surprise is going to be perfect.”And it was working. Susan had managed to keep the secret, Marina had managed, even Dmitry — the man who couldn’t lie to his own wife — had managed. A true miracle of family cooperation. His phone vibrated on the dashboard.Sasha: “Mission accomplished. Lyra already confirmed. We’ll be there at seven.”Alexei replied immedia

    Alexei entered balancing a huge tray, his arms outstretched as if carrying a treasure. He wore gray sweatpants and a simple t-shirt, his blond hair still damp from the shower, a satisfied smile on his lips.“Good morning, sleepyhead.”She looked at the tray. Then at him. Then at the tray again, her eyes scanning the mountain of food. Fruits, breads, omelet, pancakes, jams, coffee, juice, a small vase with flowers.“Alexei Anatolievich Rurik…” Her voice came out more incredulous than severe.“Yes?” He raised an eyebrow, his expression innocent.“Did you rob the kitchen?”“No.” He made a dramatic pause, eyes sparkling. “The kitchen collaborated spontaneously. Marina practically demanded that I bring all this.”She laughed, the sound filling the room.“That explains a lot. Marina has always been your accomplice.”He closed the door with his foot and walked to the bed with the solemnity of a five-star restaurant waiter.“Breakfast delivered with love. Courtesy of your favorite boyfriend.”

    After lunch, Dmitry decided to take her on a tour of the mansion. She accepted gladly, as she needed to relieve the feeling of having been locked in that room since the beginning of the morning.“Wow…” Susan let out, her eyes scanning every detail with genuine admiration. “This is straight out of a

    Dmitry left the bathroom and picked up his phone from the nightstand. A new message from Alexei was flashing on the screen:"The advisors want to see you. It looks like Natalia ran to open her mouth about the redhead. Careful, they're foaming at the mouth."He snorted, already expecting it."Of cou

    On the other side of the mansion, Natalia paced back and forth in her bedroom, her heels echoing against the wooden floor. Her face was flushed with rage, her blue eyes flashing.“Son of a bitch!” she screamed, her hands clenched so tightly that she felt her nails digging into her palms.Svetlana s

    The private room was isolated from the rest of the event. The lights were lower, and the air inside carried the weight of hierarchy. Only the most influential leaders and councilors of the allied clans were present.Dmitry entered with a firm posture and eyes as cold as the Russian winter. His blac
