Night had finally fallen and Neon had stripped down until he was completely exposed to the elements,No one had noticed him hiding behind the castle and now Maeve would regret leaving Neon alone as he went under the light of the full moon.He could feel his height begin to dramatically increase and his biceps augmenting as he slowly donned his Lycan form.Lets see Maeve stand a chance against this.
Once the transformation was complete,he was now a 13ft werewolf whose biceps put the sharks' entire bodies to shame and claws that were outshined by no steel blade.Neon wasted no time charging into the castle and barrelling though the stone wall like it was nothing but paper,Fae guards came rushing in,weapons ready but were all swiftly eviscerated in just a few swings.He clawed his way through the castle,up and down until he finally found himself before the queen in one of her damned chambers.

She didn't seem to look distressed at all, she merely just shooed her owl away and readied her dark power. "I never thought I would actually see your Lycan form Neon", Maeve said with a hint of awe in her voice.
"So that's what he is" Fenrys whispered to Lorcan,they were both watching from behind fallen debris at a distance neither Maeve or Neon could see,Lorcan's boat was due to leave for Rifthold tomorrow which was why he remained in Doranelle.They couldn't bring themselves to help Maeve,not after what she did. The werewolf charged forward only to be blasted backwards by a ray of darkness,staggering to his feet,Neon swung his black,Lycan hands upwards and a circle of ice surrounded the valg queen and then shattered,the shards slicing Maeve all over
"Brat" Maeve hissed firing another blast of darkness at Neon who impressively dodged and hurtled towards Maeve and slashed at her with his gigantic claws only for Maeve to impressively manoeuvre to the side and toss Neon into the wall with a dark energy ball.
Maeve readied her power and continued her dialogue,"it didn't have to be this way you know,if you and Chris just behaved yourselves and remained with me, we could of-
She was cut off when Neon roared loud and powerfully,the sort of roar that would have the very gods retreating as he charged forward and swung madly at the queen.striking repeatedly with everything she had only for Maeve to skilfully dodge every powerful blow,conserving her power until...
Finally one of Neon's mad swings struck true as his claws buried themselves in Maeve's gut, the dark queen gasping in agony.
Lorcan and Fenrys couldn't believe what they were seeing,Neon had just gutted Maeve,the boy had a surprised look on his Lycan face as if he too had trouble processing what he had just done.
Suddenly an explosion so dark and powerful erupted form Maeve's body forcing Lorcan and Fenrys to duck down,the entire Castle around them collapsing as Maeve,the queen of Wendlyn was now reduced to Particles.
After a few moments Lorcan and Fenrys looked up,their queen nowhere in sight but a heap on the floor,after getting a closer look they saw it was Neon once again in his beautiful humanoid form,he was barely conscious and completely exposed.Fenrys' eyes widened as he jumped over the debris and bolted for the naked Lycan,closely followed by Lorcan.Upon arrival they could see Neon's Lycan ears still on top of his magnificent head,nestled in his jet black hair.
"We have to help him" Fenrys panted,Lorcan only nodded his head as he began to gather the wounded boy in his arms,Neon opened his eyes.
"Lorcan?"
"Shhhh,your safe now"
He made a wolf's whine that destroyed both males's hearts as Lorcan carried the naked Neon bridal style and began running out of the castle,Fenrys with him,both ignoring the pain of their flesh magically being sliced open and their blood spilling,marking the end of their loyalty towards Maeve.Lorcan looked down at the 16 year old.He could have been his father,they both had night black hair and tanned skin.They bolted out of the castle and charged through Wendlyn towards the boat that was supposed to leave to Rifthold the next day.Fenrys forced the sailor at sword-point to set course for Adarlan and under duress he started the boat and set sail.
(2 weeks later) All hell had just broken loose at the glass castle,the wrdtowers were destroyed and the king of Adarlan was dead and Dorian was free of his possession, his valg demon being reduced to nothing.Aelin had just given a speech to the citizens of Rifthold after saving their city from certain destruction and was now resting with Lysandara,Aedion and Rowan in the remaining stone castle.
Just when everything seemed to be right,Lorcan and Fenrys came rushing in,Lorcan carrying the still naked Lycan because he didn't stop to try and buy him clothes and just came straight to the stone castle."What the rutting hell is this" Aelin demanded,her eyes widening at the wolf ears.
"We will explain later just get a healer" Fenrys cried out.
(Hours later) Neon awoke after his wounds were treated by some healers,he was in one of the royal bedrooms in the Adarlanian stone castle.

he noticed he was still naked and that he was surrounded by Rowan,Lorcan,Aelin,Lysandra,Aedion,Dorian and Fenrys who looked at him with concerned looks on their faces.Immediately Neon started to cry again his hand moving on top of his head feeling his Lycan ears.
"My Lycan ears" he gasped Neon understood this phenomenon,if a Lycan were to sustain an injury brutal enough,the Lycan alter-form would transfer all its traits to accelerate the healing and keep the Lycan alive.However the Lycan would lose their ability transform forever and would keep the ears as a part of the transfer.Neon was overcome with unbearable sadness,he had lost a huge component of who he was even if it was beastly.
Lorcan came over to Neon and rubbed his back,Neon looked up with this heart-breaking look in his eyes,Lorcan gave him a small smile.He averted his gaze downward.He couldn't face them.Not after what he did."I-i-I'm so so-sorry",he whispered,hugging his knees to his chest,"I-i did so many b-bad things"
No one said anything,Lysandra just handed him a white shirt and pants.Neon pulled the blanket over him as he slipped the clothes on,"th-thank you",he was grateful,truly grateful for everything they did for him even after what he took from them.He just hugged his knees to his chest and kept looking downward not really knowing what to say.
