Betrothed To The Overbearing Lycan Twenty-one
KalanI rose, stretching myself out on the couch, grimacing at the sudden ray of bright light that attacked my eyes through the window. This is the only thing I despise about living in a condo. I stood up with a yawn, scratching my belly and making my way to the kitchen, to make some breakfast. Hm...today was my 36th birthday. Technically the day I will stop aging like a normal human. Not that I wouldn't grow older, but it wouldn't just be as regular as humans. Meaning I might still look like this for the next 20 years. Just like my previous birthdays, I didn't feel any different or special except that Ravenna was now around me. Her presence makes me feel like a completely different person.The clock on the wall facing adjacent to me indicated that it was nine o'clock in the morning. Ravenna was still sleeping. So, I decided to make breakfast before she woke up.It has been three days now. Three days of complete unadulterated bliss. It was like we were in our very own, little world

KalanLyssa?!A frown instantly took over my features as I gripped my phone so tight, I feared it would break. Why the hell was she calling me? I watched it ring twice, consecutively, contemplating whether to pick it up or not. After what Lyssa did, she not only deserves to be exiled but she wasn't supposed to get in contact with me after everything. Did she not have any shame? I guess not. I only decided to pick up with the resolve in mind saying I would get closure and finally in my mind, wanting her to explain why she did what she did.“Why the actual fuck are you calling me, Lyssa?” I spat, not even trying to sugarcoat my venomous words. “Oh, thank heavens you answered!” Her relieved voice filled my ears, irritating me more and more. “Is that all?” I asked firmly, the need to hang up growing stronger than ever.“Kalan...you need to listen to me...what I'm about to say will shock you, but it's purely the truth. I know you don't trust me...and you have every right not to...but co

Ravenna“...what..?”Tears welled up in my eyes as I watched Kalan walk away. No Ravenna, don't cry. Don't cry. You're stronger than this. Keep yourself together.“There is no birthday party here today, and most importantly, there will be no wedding.” Why did Kalan just drop the bomb on us like that? I thought we were smooth and promising. What happened then? Did he find out about Karina? Or was it another thing? I was lost in my thoughts until I heard murmurs rise behind me. I swiveled around with wide eyes. The servants...those who mocked me were whispering around me in a mockery tone, visibly satisfied by Kalan's declaration. My eyes turned to Caelum, who just came downstairs, Lady Vieva whose eyes were downcast, and Nevan, who couldn't even utter a word. No one said a word, not even her brothers. Their faces were solemn as if they weren't surprised about it. Their faces showed ‘Well, that's Kalan’A gasp left my throat and the dam of tears I tried to push back, broke, flooding

KalanRavenna rejected her admission to medical school...because of me?This was news to me. I never knew anything of that sort. She never and I mean ever once mentioned anything like school to me. And Haven Gates? That prestigious college I've always heard about?“You mean to tell me Ravenna turned down their offer to stay here?” I was appalled, to say the least, but Nevan scoffed.“I don't believe it. I just can't. We've been together for the past three days, we've been talking a lot!" I protested. "If there was anything of that sort, she would've told me, and I would've..." Loved her even harder. My eyes went wide. Love? Did I love Ravenna...already? No, that was impossible. It cannot be. Falling in love, when it was merely days? She really had me mixing my attraction for love again. The fact that I even considered it love stressed me. How could I love her? She tricked me. She made me think that she was the one who I could spend my life with. She played dirty games with my hear

RavennaRogues. Werewolves who have been abandoned by their pack or vice versa. Many of them tend to go crazy as they're without a pack nor are they with their leaders. Targets for mercenaries and bounty hunters. The life of a rogue was ruthless. There were only a handful of rogues that were able to survive and withstand a lot of psychological trauma that tend to drive them crazy, an example was Karina's boyfriend, Konnor, but the rest of them went absolutely insane to the point they lost all signs of themselves, turning into beasts. Those were the kind I was facing right now.I'm going to die. I'm really going to die tonight. There was no doubt in hell that they were going to slaughter me. The murderous glint in their eyes, the way they bared their teeth, and saliva dripping from their tongues like rabid dogs, hungry for their meal. Which in terms, they were. My little white wolf was their prey and they were ready to devour me at any given moment now.I scanned the surroundings pan

LyssaI stood watching over from a distance. A couple of trees away. A simple appeared on my face when the black wolves stood, surrounding Ravenna. I felt rather satisfied, and seeing the tears in her eyes made it all worthwhile.“What are you doing? We can't just stand by and watch! I thought you said you were just going to scare her off! At this rate, they're going to kill her and we'll get caught at the end of the day!” My foolish little brother exclaimed in fear.I didn't care at all for her well-being. She deserves to get ripped into pieces. She was the cause of all my problems. She came along, waltzing into Kalan's life, and all she did was cause me heartbreak and anger. She was the reason for all my misfortunes lately. She was the reason why Kalan was angry with me to the extent that he had beat me up mercilessly like he was relieving his pent-up hatred for me. We were doing just fine before she came along! I hated the she-wolf with my entire being and I wanted to see her sla

KalanI zoomed past curious onlookers and bystanders, cursing at them and honking to let me through and get the fuck out of my way. I glanced at Ravenna who lay in the backseat unmoving. The cuts on my skin were still open and dripping down but they were slowly healing. Ravenna on the other hand was still showing no signs of consciousness, shifting, or signs of healing and it scared me.It scared me to know that she was in severe condition and there was nothing I could do than to hasten to the infirmary and make sure I made it on time.She has lost a lot of blood and energy, plus her injuries have worsened ten times as they had before. It was all my fault. If only I had not been so stupid as to have fallen for Lyssas' latest trick another time, I would've prevented this from happening. I was a fool. A complete one and there were no excuses to justify my foolishness and naivety.If I don't get her to the infirmary on time, she could possibly die and it will all be my fault. All the gui

Kalan“No,” I refused firmly.“But, Kalan it doesn't matter, alright? I will do it, I don't mind,” Uncle Caelum persisted, his gaze looking at me worriedly.“I will donate to her. it. It's just 10 years. I wouldn't even realize it if it's removed from my lifespan. It doesn't affect me as much as you think. Her safety and health is the most important thing here and we're wasting time debating on who to give her blood. I am willing and ready to give her now so let me just do it,” I concluded my speech finally, looking at them and turning to give Caius a hard look, but he just turned away, folding his arms and avoiding my gaze. He should grow up.“Are you sure?” My mother asked, skimming at me worriedly. I know how she feels. Knowing that some years would be taken out of your life is a really hard blow to the chest, really. That's why she volunteered. Probably because she was old and she thinks that her absence wouldn't cause as much pain or impact on the territory as mine would.. But s

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

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

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
