The pack looked more robust now, their muscles rippling beneath thick fur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’d gorged themselves these past several days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The memory hit me—discovering this wolf pack during my first exile. Father had hurled me into these woods when I was barely adolescent, still unable to shift, all for his twisted amusement. He wanted to watch me suffer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I tracked the last wolf as it seized a massive chunk of meat and disappeared behind the ancient oak. Following its path, I spotted what made my chest constrict—a pregnant female wolf waiting as her mate delivered the meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene ripped through me like claws. My lungs seized as the memories crashed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My child. Gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our baby, lost because of my failures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’d buried this agony for days, wearing rage like armor. But beneath the fury, a tempest raged unchecked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This tender moment between mates became my breaking point. My knees hit the forest floor as I clutched my chest, gasping for air. The weight of reality crushed down, and I couldn’t fight it anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truth battered against my defenses, shattering every wall I’d built.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warriors exchanged uncertain glances as their king collapsed, his face twisted in anguish. None dared approach—they all knew better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should we check on the king?\" the first warrior whispered to his companion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four men stood frozen, but nobody moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You go check,\" the second warrior suggested, though his feet remained planted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about calling the royal gamma or beta?\" another offered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good thinking. Find beta Flynn or gamma Timothy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One warrior sprinted away while the others held their positions, eyes locked on their suffering king. When Perry suddenly shifted into his beast form, they scattered like startled deer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of charging them, the massive wolf bolted toward the forest depths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What now?\" The first warrior’s voice cracked with terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Follow him into the forest?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others stared at him like he’d lost his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nobody entered those woods and returned alive—except the king. But now both wild wolves and the Mad King prowled those shadows. Who’d be insane enough to follow?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We wait for the royal beta or gamma,\" one finally decided, and the others nodded frantically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Marcela!\" Timothy roared for the healer, but an omega appeared instead, drawn by his desperate shouts. \"Get the healer now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The omega froze at the sight of all the blood, her face draining white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Call the healer, NOW!\" His voice cracked like thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She snapped out of her shock and bolted to find Marcela.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pressed his hands against the worst wounds, trying to stem the bleeding, but gashes covered her entire body. Two hands weren’t nearly enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it all!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cursed under his breath, mind racing. An attack? No—these wounds weren’t meant to kill quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d seen enough torture to recognize the pattern. These cuts were designed to cause maximum pain, not death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you do this to yourself?\" He shook his head in disbelief. How had everything changed so drastically?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This morning, Phoebe had been catatonic, completely unresponsive. Marcela should have noticed if something shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d only left to prepare medicine—a brief task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Timothy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get in here, quick!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marcela’s face went ashen at the carnage, but she recovered fast, rushing to examine Phoebe’s condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why is she like this?\" Marcela’s voice broke. \"I left her moments ago!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t know! She was already like this when I arrived!\" Timothy stepped back, letting Marcela take over. Her healing magic flowed immediately, fighting to preserve Phoebe’s fading life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marcela poured all her strength into stopping the hemorrhaging, but some wounds ran too deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did someone attack her?\" Marcela glanced at the overturned table and shattered glass littering the floor. But even as she asked, doubt clouded her features.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Timothy shared her suspicion. \"No. I don’t think anyone attacked her.\" The words tasted bitter, but he couldn’t keep them locked inside. \"I think she tried to kill herself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No foreign scents lingered in this room—only Phoebe’s blood and their own panic. This destruction came from within.\u003C\u002Fp>",688,"2026-06-06T16:11:22.572Z",1,"novelbin.me","8e7b544623259a38b6c1c7f10bb9914c389be9ba4bbb684abdb3b27486443ac4","marked-by-the-mad-king-alpha-chapter-102","marked-by-the-mad-king-alpha-chapter-200",302,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarked-by-the-mad-king-alpha-cover.jpg"]
