"Verity, my dear," she said, her voice low and gentle, "do remember that. It is imperative that your mate be a Lycan," the mother spoke with a tinge of sorrow lacing her words. The woman's voice carried a hint of melancholy, yet her tone was unwavering.With a grave expression etched upon her face, she spoke with a sense of urgency. "Do not venture down the path that I have taken, no matter the cost," she warned, her words carrying a weighty emphasis. The mother seemed frail and somewhat fragile due to her thin frame. She appeared as if she may be taken from them at any time.Verity, a young girl of twelve, stood there in stunned silence, her mother's words leaving her utterly speechless. She offered a silent nod, her voice seemingly lost in the moment. The girl's face was awash with tears, her grip on her mother's hands unyielding.The year prior had been a tumultuous one, marked by the devastating departure of her dear father. And now, as if by some cruel twist of fate, her mother's
"Mama, Papa, I shall be reaching the age of eighteen next week. Verity delicately arranged the flower she had offered to them, and with a solemn tone, she uttered, "The day that both you and I dread shall arrive."With a heavy heart, she took up the shovel and began to dig fixing their grave. The earth was hard and unyielding, but she persisted, driven by a sense of duty and love for her departed mother.It was a task that no child should have to undertake, but she was determined to see it through to the end. As she worked, memories flooded her mind - of her mother's laughter, her gentle touch, her unwavering love. And yet, even as she mourned her loss, she knew that she had a solemn duty to fulfill.For her mother had done the same for her father, years ago. It was a like a tradition that had been passed down to her before, a final act of love and respect for those who had gone before.And so before she dug, her hands blistered and her back aching, until at last the grave was ready.
"The missive requesting your presence at the upcoming mating ball was delivered to you some time ago, esteemed Alpha. Do you have any plans to attend?" The Beta told Alpha Nero Aimillios Astadel.The Alpha towered at six feet and two inches, his commanding presence accentuated by the piercing cool orbs that were his eyes, as black as the night sky. The gaze of a prominent Greek deity.His lips were a deep shade of red, full and inviting, as if begging to be kissed. His nose, long and pointed, had a captivating quality that drew you in, leaving you unable to look away.At first glance, he presents himself as an angelic figure, but upon closer look, his true nature is revealed as that of a devilish being.The Alpha let out a derisive snort, dismissing the words of his Beta. Without a second thought, he extended his razor-sharp claws and lunged forward, striking the criminal who dared to threaten the safety of his city.His reputation preceded him, for he was known to be a man of unyield
Lycans are beings that possess both human and werewolf characteristics. Their gait was reminiscent of that of a human, yet their upper physical form was unmistakably that of a werewolf. In both their lupine and mortal states, these beings engage in a sacred union with their fated partner.If one desires their partner to conceive, it is advisable to engage in lycanthropic copulation. The Lycans possess an extraordinary combination of sagacity, might, and swiftness, with the Alphas exhibiting even greater strength.Once masters of the nocturnal realm, the Lycans relinquished their dominion over time. After centuries of coexisting with humans, their intellect and cunning elevated them to positions of human leadership.The precipice of extinction loomed over the lycans, thus prompting the aforementioned reason. With the inability to find their soulmates within their own ranks, the notion of fated companions has dissipated.The Lycans have established a system of hierarchy to govern their
"Don't look at me that way, Rett." Alpha's tone was laced with irritation, and it was clear that any action taken at this point would not be taken lightly. Nero Astadel voiced his complaints to his Beta.They sat comfortably in the limousine. The Alpha with his legs crossed sat in a relaxed position. The mere thought of attending such gatherings fills him with an intense aversion. With her arms crossed, the Alpha gazed out of the window.With a heavy heart, he made a conscious decision to delay his arrival, fully aware of the consequences that would follow. The reason for his reluctance was none other than Alpha Maurius, the formidable leader of the city, whose presence he wished to avoid at all costs. He harbored a distaste for his own bravado and the manner in which it interacted with fellow Alphas."Exercise patience for a few hours, Alpha," the Beta advised. "We couldn't have been there for more than a couple of hours, yet you're still running behind schedule," Rett replied. His B
"What! I do not desire your presence," she exclaimed vehemently. Verity bared her teeth in a fierce snarl as the lycan compelled her.A low, menacing growl emanated from the lycan's throat. Little did Verity expect that on her way home, she would be followed."You are fortunate that I have selected you as my mate," he declared. "We must now depart. I shall take you to my abode!" The aggressive lycan let out a fierce shout.With a fierce expression, Verity fixed her gaze upon it. The young woman was indifferent to whether the creature before her was a lycan or not."I must remind you that I never consented to be your mate, and such an act of coercion is in direct violation of our established regulations," Verity presented her argument with conviction.The gaze of the lycan contorted into one of fury. Verity remained steadfast despite his flustered reaction.The young woman appeared indifferent to the manner in which she mistreated the lycan in question. It was her inaugural experience,
"F*ck I need to know why you took his life, Alpha. I mean, he's the son of Alpha Maurus! Beta An irritated Rett complained to his Alpha, but Nero gave him blank stare.The potential consequences of this matter are dire, as it has the potential to ignite a tumultuous conflict between the affected cities and those who are embroiled in the situation. Alpha Nero let out a deep sigh and rolled his eyes in exasperation."Alpha, are you paying attention? Are you sure about this?" Rett asked, his brow furrowed in concern. Nero, however, simply shrugged in response.His eyes were irresistibly drawn to the woman who lay sound asleep on his bed. She looked as though she had never before experienced the luxury of such a comfortable environment.Rett used his own palm to wash his face. Beta felt a wave of frustration wash over them as they contemplated the possibility of Alpha Maurius waiting for their explanation."Alpha, please respond to me!" Rett posed the question once more.As soon as Rett m
As Verity slowly opened her eyes, she found herself in an unfamiliar space. As she slowly regained consciousness, she became aware of her surroundings - a dimly lit hotel room. The young woman lowered herself onto the seat, her eyes scanning the surroundings. Her gaze wandered aimlessly, taking in the surroundings with a sense of curiosity. As she slowly regained consciousness, she became aware of her unfamiliar surroundings. It was clear that she was not in the comfort of her own cabin. Verity reminisced about the events that had befallen her. As she pondered over her thoughts, a sudden recollection of the mating ball flooded her mind. The pupils of her eyes dilated, expanding to their fullest extent. The realization hit her with the force of a thousand blows. As their gazes locked, she witnessed the Alpha's swift and decisive action, as he swiftly eliminated the lycan who dared to lay claim on her. A s Verity reminisced about her childhood, a shiver ran down her spine as she reca
