Betrothed To The Overbearing Lycan Forty-six
LyssaI winced in pain, feeling the sharp sting of a needle piercing my skin. What was going on? Was I still in the rogue's den? I fluttered my eyes open, allowing light to seep through. My vision focused and I realized that I was inside a really large room.I frowned. What? My muscles felt heavy and they throbbed with slight pain. Other than that, the rest of my limbs were numb and my tongue felt heavy.Turning my head to the side, I saw a few nurses, at my sides, smiling down at me. I looked down at my hand and saw the intravenous drip attached to my wrist. Now, I understood why I felt the needle sting, but that did nothing to explain why the nurses were beaming at me. Was this a dream? It probably was. Either that or I was dead. The last thing I remembered was fighting the rogues and then seeing Kalan...I guess I was dead then. Death... didn't seem as bad as I thought, which led me to believe even stronger that this was a dream. Turning my head again, my eyes landed on Blaze

RavennaI woke up groggily, stretching and yawning from the sleep I had.I felt refreshed, yet drowsy.I blinked my eyes open and realized that I was the only one in the room. Kalan was nowhere to be found. I touched his bed space and found out that it was warm, indicating that it wasn't long when he left. My mind went sour thinking about it. Usually I wouldn't have questioned Kalan's leaving. He normally has work to do or meetings in the territory, but now it was different. I just knew Lyssa was involved in it. I tried to evade the thought, except Kalan must have gone to see her now. I decided not to think about it, instead clearing my thoughts and thinking of something else.I remembered how I had tried to distract both of us from thinking and talking about Lyssa last night and shame washed over me. I hung my head low, embarrassed at the fact that I had used my body to divert his attention from his ex-lover who also was carrying his child.I felt silly, childish, and a little

KalanA slight buzz from my phone roused me up from my slumber. I frowned, sitting up. I didn't set any alarm, why did my phone vibrate all of a sudden? Blinking away sleep from my eyes, I realized that it was just a text from Calix. Lyssa is conscious. Be there in 20 — Calix. My body went rigid as if it was doused in ice-cold water. Fuck. Lyssa. I'd completely forgotten about her, after being wrapped up in this peaceful bubble of mine. I sighed, running my hand down my face in dismay. Turning my back slightly, I looked at Ravenna's sleeping figure, lying peacefully on the bed. I really didn't want to leave her. I really wanted how her face would look when she woke up and I wanted to see her sparkling forest green eyes shining in the morning light. Unfortunately, I couldn't. Thanks to Lyssa. I mean, I could just wake Ravenna up right now, but I didn't want us to leave on a sour note. We were treading on a really thin tightrope and I didn't want us to topple over due to Lyssa

Lyssa“Pour the contents of the vial,” Kalan said firmly to Calix and my body tensed up upon hearing that. That would ruin all my plans and turn them into dust!“Wait!” I let out, startling everyone, even myself. I scrambled my brain trying to think of something to distract Calix from pouring away the potion and fast. “It's poison,” I blurted. Everyone looked stunned. Even Blaze who stood next to me had a bewildered expression on his face. Kalan's eyebrows pinched together in confusion and surprise. He opened his mouth to say something, but I beat him to the punch.“I-I was trying to kill m-myself,” I started, still struggling to come up with a plausible scenario that would convince them. “I didn't want to keep the baby and with all that was going on, I didn't want to ruin things even further. I understand that we had our differences lately and we've butted heads more than once. I just didn't want you to hate me anymore,” I said solemnly, bending my head slightly to make everythin

RavennaLady Vieva's eyes grew wide when she spotted me. She grew pale as a sheet and I could see her hands shaking a bit. She quickly got over her initial shock and turned around, immediately rushing out through the door by the side of the room. I saw that as an opportunity to flee too and ran down the hall, not daring to look back. I was going to pretend like nothing happened, I thought as I hurried in my steps. I was halfway out when I heard heavy footsteps thump behind me. Fear spiked up in my heart as I stumbled in my steps. I turned around slightly to see who was chasing after me and found a very livid Caelum following behind me with large and furious strides. I slowed my pace till I came to a complete halt. He could catch me anyway if I tried to run. There was no point in running, he was way faster and stronger than me. He could overpower and outrun me at any second. There was no way I could win this battle, I had to just face it head-on. I was scared when I heard his

KalanLyssa tried to...kill herself? I still couldn't wrap my head around it. It was impossible and very unlike her. Lyssa was a self-centered bitch and she always puts herself first in every situation. Her statement that she wanted to end her life, or her saying she wanted to do it so Ravenna and I can retain our relationship, all seemed like a whole load of bullshit. It was bullshit but I didn't know what to believe anymore. I stopped in my steps, turning around to look at Calix. “Tell me honestly, give it to me straight. Were there any rumors of Lyssa going out with other men while we were dating?” I really hoped she had. It'd really suck if that child was actually mine.“I hate to give it to you bro, but she is actually right. She had not been seeing any other man aside from you in the territory,” and here I'd really thought that Lyssa had been sleeping around behind my back while we were together. It would've really helped to get her away from my life. It turned out that sh

RavennaTaking in deep breaths, I forced myself to calm down. Caelum wasn't going to ruin my mood, I would make sure of it. Instead, my thoughts went over to the date Kalan and I would have later this evening. I bit my lip and giggled like a schoolgirl, just at the thought. Everyday with Kalan, I just found myself spiraling deeper and deeper in love with him. It felt like a really long time since we first met. I mean, yes there was too much going on, but it was easier to handle with Kalan by my side.I rummaged through my closet, trying to pick the perfect dress to wear for our date. This date might not seem like such a big deal, but it meant a lot to me. With everything going on, I just needed to know that I was at least cared for a bit by the one my heart cherished, or else I'd just break down. A champagne pink colored sequin gown hung in the middle of my closet as if taunting me to put it on immediately. The top of the gown had tiny crystals that blended with sequins, the colo

KalanMy eyelids feel heavy on my face as I constantly try to open them to no avail. I could hear voices all around me, speaking, saying things I couldn't understand. It irked me. Why couldn't I move? Why couldn't I open my eyes? “...Kalan…” I heard a familiar voice call out. My heart swelled in my chest on hearing it and it made me want to break out from this darkness to meet them. With every strength I had, I managed to force my eyes open and my limbs to also work in tandem.I regretted that decision immediately, as my body spasmed painfully. My limbs felt like they were electrocuted and my eyes and head hurt so badly.“Kalan! Don't just sit up like that!” Ravenna scolded, although her voice was filled with worry and concern. My mouth quivered on hearing her voice, and I quickly rested my head back against my pillow. Bracing myself for the second time, I slowly opened my eyes again, adapting to the bright light and colors that affected my vision. Once in focus, I realized t

RavennaKalan looked stunned as if I had punched him. His mouth opened and closed, so shocked that he wasn't able to form words.The room equally went painfully quiet, as everyone took in my words and were staring at me in disbelief. It broke my heart to see Kalan in such a dazed and confused state, but it had to be done. No matter what I said or did, Kalan wouldn't have listened to me anyway. Left for me, I would've kept this secret to the grave. I just had to do it. I had to let him know the truth no matter how painful it would be.Without saying a word and maintaining his speechless expression, Kalan left in a haste, not able to look at me.I swallowed thickly, blinking back hot tears that threatened to pour from my eyes. It had to be done. I repeated in my head, trying to console myself.Calix walked over to me menacingly, all traces of his earlier affection gone, leaving an empty, angry shell.“How could you do that?” He started off, his voice low, dark, and threatening.

KalanI held Nevan close to me until her sobs subsided. Stroking her hair, I thought long and hard about what I was going to do.After thinking long and hard about a suitable plan, I finally managed to come up with a good one. I would have avoided it if I could, but this was the only way. I know nobody was going to be on board with my plan and I didn’t expect them to. It is my decision and I don't want anyone to be involved in it. If it comes down to saving Nevan, I would do it in a heartbeat. The only problem now was breaking the news to the people. They of course deserved to know my plans before I dived headfirst into them, yet I couldn't stop cringing, imagining their expressions and the look of pain on their faces once I told them.It definitely wouldn't be easy, especially to Ravenna. I just wish she won't be too angry with me and I hoped she’d move on after I’m gone. I wouldn't want her to wallow in sadness and depression. I would love it if she finds happiness out there w

LyssaMy heart thumped inside my chest loudly as I stumbled back, feeling pale and managing to grip my bedpost to keep me from falling. Why is the Vampire lord sending a letter to Kalan at this critical time? Is he trying to reveal my involvement to him? What was I going to do then?Before I could even process my thoughts, the door swung open, revealing a guard who had been standing in front of my room all this while. “We have to go, Miss Lyssa. Lady Vieva and Master Caelum have requested the presence of everyone in the receiving room. It's very urgent,”My eyes widened. “What is this all about?”The guard frowned, scratching his head a bit. “Well, it has to do with the letter that Leader Kalan received earlier,”I stepped out of the room, following him intently.Seizing the opportunity, I proceeded to ask him rapid fire questions. “Why? Has Kalan read it yet? Why are we all being summoned to the receiving room? Is it that serious?”“You'll just have to wait and see, Miss. I'm not so

RavennaI stood there, stunned and unable to let out a breath. Out of all the possibilities out there, I never thought for once that the vampires would be the ones who stole Karazcht. Personally, I’ve never met a vampire, but with all their history and ways, I regard them as one of the most ruthless and bloodthirsty species ever to exist. Them having Karazcht in their grasp was really a nightmare I wasn't sure how to wake up from.They promised not to wage a war, how are we supposed to trust them? Their reputation was really filthy and cruel, how were we supposed to know if they'd keep their word? Also, marrying Nevan off to the vampires? Out of the question. Nevan had grown to be someone I regarded as my sister. I would never let a bunch of egotistical maniacs get her in any way.Still, the matter on hand was Karazcht.We had to find a way to get it, or history would repeat itself again. This time, I wasn't so confident in our victory. My necklace suddenly felt heavy on my ches

KalanI took the letter from the servant with shock and confusion written on my face. The vampires have a new lord? That was news. After my father slaughtered the former king and his people, I hadn't thought someone would take over the throne this soon, especially not in my era. I grew concerned as the weight of the letter emotionally dragged me down. What was going on? As much as I tried to fight it, deep down I knew something was wrong somewhere, but what?I tried to calm myself down as my thoughts went wild. I grew light-headed, thinking of whether this letter had something to do with the disappearance of Karazcht. It wasn't so far-fetched to think so. The vampires could have taken it, under the orders of their new leader.My stomach twisted in knots, just thinking about it. If it was true, then we're screwed. They would have the upper hand and can easily wipe us out if they wanted to.A small hand covered mine and squeezed, pulling me out of my dangerous thoughts. I looked do

Ravenna“It was all my fault.” I couldn't help but think as I pressed against Kalan’s hard, naked chest. We just finished making love and no matter how I tried to look at the brighter side of things, it was impossible to. Thinking about how Kalan could possibly lose his life by the slightest inch of stress broke my heart. All week, Kalan has been stuck to me by the hip, never leaving me unless urgent.We'd gone on walks in the garden several times this week, had multiple dates, made love on different occasions. Kalan did his best to make me feel less depressed and happy. But that just increased my guilt further.How could he be thinking of making me happy when it was his life on the line? How could he love me before loving himself? Whenever I looked into his eyes, there was always nothing but pure adoration and affection in his gaze that always brought me to tears.He assured me that he was fine and equally admitted it was his fault and I struggled to think less about those times

LyssaIt has been a week. It has been a fucking week since Kalan has been discharged and that was the last time I saw him. His words still haunted me no matter how much I stopped thinking about them. “I'll have you all know, I will never regret giving Ravenna my blood,”Those words angered me, making me realize how much Kalan had changed. With the way he was so protective of Ravenna, touching her with utmost possessiveness, and his eyes filled with affection...those were the luxuries I never had while dating him and that pissed me off more than anything. How dare that skank victimize herself and hog all Kalan's attention for herself? She's being too selfish and it made me furious.I could still vividly remember the look of hatred Kalan had on his face the moment he uttered those words. I was a bit taken aback and shaken at the sight. I knew we were currently on bad terms, but for Kalan to display such hate? I knew for a fact that I had lost my Kalan. Knowing that just made me wan
