Alyssa's excitement bubbled over as she revealed their own discoveries. "That's incredible! We've been uncovering family records and personal accounts," she gestured towards the scattered books, "and they mention the Lycan Lords too."My heart quickened with anticipation, this was the perfect opportunity to learn more about Lucian, if he truly was a Lycan lord. This was my chance to unlock the mysteries that lay beneath the surface, to peel back the layers of Lucian's identity and understand the depths of his connection to the legendary figures."Can I join you?" I interjected, my voice teeming with anticipation. "I have a certain familiarity with ancient texts and, well... Lycan Lords," I emphasized, my eyes darting momentarily to meet Lucian's piercing stare. Yet, I refused to back down.

It's as if the entire training field holds its breath, anticipating the outcome of our entangled struggle.My chest rises and falls rapidly, my breath coming in ragged gasps. Beads of sweat roll down my temples, mingling with the dirt and grime on my skin. The air is heavy with the scent of exertion and the lingering traces of our previous banter.A triumphant smile dances on my lips, a silent proclamation of victory.

After the intense discussion in the war room, the weight of the impending battle still hung in the air. As Lyra turned to leave, ready to set her sights on the northern border, my hand shot out, gripping hers firmly and halting her in her tracks. As I stand in Lyra's presence, a surge of emotions washes over me, threatening to consume my being. The memories of my former self, the proud Lycan King, the embodiment of power and dominance, flood my mind. They ignite a fiery storm within me—a mix of resentment, bitterness, and deep-seated hatred towards Lyra. She holds the position of power, to lead her pack into battle and to ensure their survival, a role that I once had, a throne I ruled with an iron fist and unyielding ambition. The intensity of my emotions grows with each passing moment, fuelled by her inability to comprehend the weight and responsibility that comes with her authority.Meeting her gaze, my voice emerges with a calculated coldness, betraying the deep-seated disdain I ha

The rugged battlefield stretched out before me, its uneven terrain resembling a savage wilderness waiting to be tamed. I assessed every element, every contour, with keen eyes that sought not weaknesses in Fenrir's forces, but strategic opportunities to exploit.

The scent of blood mingled with the acrid tang of fury, creating an intoxicating atmosphere of primal chaos. In the midst of this maelstrom, my body still tingling with the echoes of pain and the steady drip of blood, I found myself unable to fully focus on the task at hand.It wasn't the physical discomfort that kept my mind restless, but rather the persistent nagging of concern sparked by Lyra's impulsive nature. Her unrestrained actions clashed with the calculated and strategic approach I had meticulously crafted. A surge of frustration welled up within me, a mix of annoyance and irritation at the way her actions clashed with my calculated and strategic approach.
