Bound By The Lycan's Curse. 17 Clarissa
Stretching and yawning, I woke up feeling rested and rejuvenated after a powerful orgasm and a good night's sleep. I pushed back the covers and the cool morning air greeted me, invigorating my senses and waking me up fully.I pulled on my running clothes, a pair of form-fitting leggings, and a tank top, then slipped into my sneakers, lacing them up tightly and checking my reflection in the mirror. I adjusted my bird nest into a ponytail, making sure that I looked presentable before stepping out of my house.Outside, the cool morning air grated my senses and I joined the others in a warm-up jog, my feet pounding the ground as we made our way to the clearing. When I got there, I took my place and joined the others ready to begin my training. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, then shifted into my wolf form, my body rippling with muscle and power as I changed.Bryon's huge black wolf nudged mine, and I sparred with him, testing my strength and agility against his and practicing my

Around the kitchen table, my family and I were seated among stacks of wedding-related magazines and folders that were brimming with suggestions and ideas.The most recent topic of conversation was Bryon's impending wedding, and since the news broke, my mother has been floating through the air. I wasn't interested in seeing the photographs she showed me of various flower arrangements and table settings, but she was beaming with excitement and I didn't want to ruin her mood. Bryon was being his regular goofy self and not offering any assistance, and Sydney was ranting on the phone to her wedding planner over specifics like the guest list and the menu."Rissa, could you shorten the possible song list for the first dance?" said Bryon. "You have a brain, do it yourself," I said, savoring my milkshake. Dad was occupied with sorting over the guest list to determine who to include and who to exclude. "I'm not inviting Hugo."He scoffedI chuckled, "Why Dad, he's your Beta.""No, he's a disg

ClarissaAs I walked into Jalen's house I was immediately struck by the strong smell of cinnamon. It was almost overpowering and I couldn't help but feel a little intimidated I looked around at the rustic furnishings and decor.Jaden's mum stood in the doorway eyeing me with suspicion and distaste. She didn't say a word but the hostility in her gaze was palpable.I tried to ignore the feeling of unease that washed over me as I followed her upstairs. She was not happy about my presence and I felt like an outsider. On our way upstairs she stopped and turned to face me."Does Jalen truly work for you?"I hesitated for a moment not wanting to reveal too much but ultimately I nodded."What exactly does he do for you?""It's not in my place to tell you that," I said.The disappointment on her face was clear and we went upstairs. The house was old but surprisingly beautiful. She opened the door to a dimly lit bedroom, the blinds are drawn to block out the harsh sun.I waited at the door and

Jalen asked me to leave but was struggling with his emotions. He was so bitter and vulnerable, struggling to maintain eye contact with me and toying with his collar. "Jalen, please, we could find another way," I pleaded, my legs closing together. "I can't let you mark me. It would cause a war between our packs, but I can't bear to see you like this, either."He blew out a breath in an exaggerated huff and shook his head. "There is no other way," he said, his voice laced with bitterness. "You shouldn't have come here. Leave and never come back. I promise to never darken your door anymore.""Don't throw me out, please," I spoke in a quiet voice. "I… I don't want you to die."His eyes held mine for a second and held a mixture of love and desperation in his eyes. "I don't want to drag you down with me," he said, his voice breaking and he moved away from me, but I closed the space between us and cupped his face with my hands. "Kiss me," I lowered my voice, facing him straight on. His li

Watching Clarissa leave made me feel dizzy. It was shocking that she even had the guts to come to the Lycan pack. For a few minutes, I stood outside to gather my thoughts, feeling a flutter in my belly. It felt like there was some hope and that things were going to get better but I scolded myself into believing that lie.Inside, my mum's face contorted with anger and her fist clenched tightly at her sides. I took a deep breath and steadied myself to answer her questions, knowing she wasn't going to let me go until I told her the truth."Can you explain why you are working for a werewolf?" She asked, following me around the house. "Don't you know how dangerous that is?""Mum please, I'm not in the mood to… ""Don't you dare say that to me!" She yelled, partly shifting into her beast form, jabbing her claw in my chest. I froze on the spot, feeling a pounding in my ears and a chill running down my spine. My mum has never been this angry at me or any other person for as long as I could

ClarissaWe made our way up the gangway to the mega yacht, and excitement built within me. This was going to be a wedding to remember. My parents and I were the first to arrive, greeted by a line of uniformed staff waiting to welcome us on board.My dad owned the yacht, and he was beaming with pride as he led the way to the main deck. The decorations for the wedding venue were breathtaking, with white and gold accents adorning every surface. Garlands of flowers hung from the rafters, filling the air with their sweet fragrance."This is life," my mum said and my dad agreed with a booming laugh. I stared at the beautiful scenery from behind my huge sunshades.As we made our way around the ship, I sighted Sydney and her friends waltzing about and taking pictures.I stood on the back of the yacht, the salty ocean breeze whipping through my hair as I looked out at the endless expanse of water.When I checked my phone, Bryon's wedding was trending on social media and everyone was talking ab

Clarissa I sat in the backseat of my parent's limousine feeling upset and troubled. The ring on my finger felt heavy and foreign, like a shark sucking the blood in my finger and I shifted my hands nervously.My heart was a heavy stone sticking in my chest as the thought of marrying someone I didn't love scared the hell out of me. My mum and dad kept gushing about how beautiful our kids would be and it was so annoying that I had to stop them. "Dad, I can't do this. I'm not in love with him."My mum, dressed in a fancy gown, turned to me with a look of disappointment and her eyes felt like daggers piercing my heart"Love grows. You haven't even given him a chance and you are already canceling him. You can't back out now. Ivan already proposed. You should be lucky to have someone like him and you better not mess things up"Clarissa, Ivan is a good guy," my dad said with a much calmer tone."He's a good match for our status.I huffed, looking out the window and tuning out of the conversa

Feeling much better after I met with the matron, I headed back home enjoying the cool breeze of the afternoon brushing against my skin.I made my way to the bedroom, picked an apple from the kitchen and took a bite. Because I left work early. I decided to work from home and send emails to my clients and catch up on everything I wasn't able to do at work. The clicking of my keyboard and the quietness of the house made me concentrate but the elder matron's words kept filtering in my ear and I wondered if I could stay away from Jalen.After working for an hour, I took a break and stretched my limbs. Outside my door, I heard a voice downstairs and I groaned. frustrationThis was the worst time for Ivan to come. I headed downstairs to see him. He held a bouquet and a box of chocolates with a broad grin on his face excited to see me."Hey, beautiful. You're frowning as usual. Seems like you aren't happy to see me.""Of course, I'm happy," I lied and he led me into one of the private living

I stood at my window, watching Jalen and Cade entering the van and driving out and my mind was a whirlwind of emotions. I couldn't believe how much I missed him and how my body reacted to him.My mum and I went shopping for the charity ball and I wasn't expecting to see Jalen, but when our eyes met, I had to force myself to grip the bannister tightly to keep from running down the stairs and into his arms. My breathing became shallow and my knees felt weak, but I managed to hold myself together and maintain a composed demeanor.Now, my mind was a jumbled mess, filled with memories of our past together and the pain of our breakup. Anger and hurt boiled inside me, but I pushed it down, knowing that I had to be strong."Calm down, Rissa," I said to myself, trying to steady my breathing, but it was a losing battle. I wasn't as strong as I thought. No wonder people went back to their toxic partners. The mating bond was so strong that if my human self didn't restrain my wolf, I'd have jumpe

My packmates were working tirelessly, sanding down the rough spots on the wooden floor of the pack's hall in preparation for the Lycan king's coronation coming up in seven days. I watched one of them up on a ladder, hanging glittering lights from the rafters and another laying down fresh coats of paint on the wallsThe hall was beautiful with a long red carpet laid, leading to the platform and the stage and the scent of flowers filled the air as a group of packmates arranged beautiful bouquets on either side of the platform.I could feel the energy and excitement from my packmates as they worked, it was palpable and it made my heart swell with pride.My mum stood rigidly beside me, her eyes shining with excitement."This is so beautiful," she nudged me and I nodded in response.She took a deep breath and said, "A king needs his queen."I rolled my eyes, feeling annoyance wash over me.She placed a hand on my arm, her grip tight. "You can't wait to marry Malory."I frowned and said, "

I lay in bed, feeling comfortable and relaxed, and felt my left breast with my hand, which was a habit that I had picked up when I was a teenager. My fingers lightly ran over the curve of my nipple, pausing at the top and I shut my eyes, remembering how Jalen used to drive me wild with his tongue on my nipple, how I would have him suckle it until I came from just being touched there, and how I would cry out into the night, my hands clutching onto his chest so tightly.I took a deep breath and lifted my feet, bringing them closer to my chest. It's not like I was happy. Far from it, but. I couldn't just mope around and be useless just because Jalen was getting married to someone else. I wish Jaela hadn't even told me, but I made a conscious effort to be happy. My family was there for me and my mom always checked on me, even going as far as canceling some of her schedules just to make sure that she was always available for me. I felt the stretch in my legs as I brought them closer to m

My days were bland and uninteresting as I felt dejected and defeated. I lost the woman I truly loved, and now I proposed to someone I have no attraction to. The thought of spending the rest of my life with someone who doesn't make my heart skip a beat was a heavy weight to bear. I leaned into the leather armchair taking a long drink from my cold bear. The icy liquid provided a temporary escape from all my troubles. It was crazy how everyone expected me to move on, be a man and do the right thing because I knocked someone up. I set the beer down on the table and let out a sigh, trying to ignore the emptiness inside of me. This wasn't the life I imagined for myself, and Malory robbed me of my chance at true love and joy."Jalen are you there," Jaela's melodic voice which by the way I could never get tired of hearing, walked in, her steps slow and hesitant."What the hell, brother," she gasped at the sight of scattered bottles of beer. I reached for a remote control absently flipping

Today sucked horribly. It started when I walked into the conference room for our daily board meeting. My mood was irritable and I couldn't seem to shake it.I took my seat at the head of the table and tried to focus on the agenda, but the more my staff presented their ideas for a new app, the more frustrated I became. Every suggestion was met with a sharp rejection from me - the layout was wrong, the logo was uninspired, and I even snapped at them for wasting my time.The IT guys were eager to discuss some updates with me, but I couldn't concentrate on what they were saying. Instead, I found myself doodling aimlessly on a notepad, tracing lines and shapes without any real purpose.Everyone there looked at me with confusion, and the tension in the room rose with every passing moment. I rubbed my temples, trying to ease the headache that was growing stronger by the minute."Excuse me," I finally said, standing up from my chair. "I think we should continue this meeting later. I have a he

As I stood in the clearing surrounded by the tallest trees in the forest, I felt the weight of the moment settling onto my shoulders. This was the coronation ceremony that marked my ascension to the throne as the Lycan king. The full moon shone bright and clear above, casting an eerie glow on the gathering below. The pack elders and council were all present, their beastly forms looming large and imposing.As the pack leader, I felt a surge of pride and respect for these powerful creatures. I knew that the role of the Lycan king was a heavy responsibility, but I was ready to embrace it. I closed my eyes, savoring the sweet scent of the forest and the whispers of the night.The elders stepped forward, forming a circle around me. They began to chant, their voices rising in a low rumble that vibrated through the air. I felt the magic of the moment wash over me, and I knew that this was truly the beginning of a new chapter in my life.The chanting grew louder, reaching a crescendo as the e

The day before my departure date was a whirlwind of emotions. On one hand, I was excited to get back to my company and oversee the work there, but on the other hand, I was sad to be leaving Paris, the city I had grown to love over the past month. I had been working remotely, but my presence was needed back at the office to ensure everything was running smoothly.I spent the day shopping for gifts for my family, trying to find the perfect tokens of my affection. I wanted to make sure my dad, mum, Bryon, and his wife, Sydney all got something. I browsed through multiple stores, searching for the perfect presents. Finally, I found some beautifully handcrafted souvenirs for each of them. I hoped they would appreciate them.I went back to the hotel, feeling tired but satisfied with my day's work. I started packing my stuff, trying to fit everything into my luggage. I had brought a lot of clothes and other items with me, but now it seemed like they wouldn't fit in my bags anymore.I lay in

I was in the final stretch of my stay in Paris and only had two days left. I'd spent the majority of my time here hanging out with Tony and his family. Tony was especially busy these past few days because his little sister, I made, was turning fourteen. I felt emotionally attached to Imade, so I offered to go shopping with Tony to help prepare for her birthday.We walked down the busy streets of Paris, with Tony leading the way. He seemed to know exactly where he was going, and I followed behind, taking in the sights and sounds of the city. The smell of freshly baked croissants and coffee filled the air, making my mouth water.As we walked, Tony filled me in on the details of Imade's birthday party. "My mum wants to throw her a big bash, with balloons, cake, and lots of presents, just to make her happy."We finally arrived at a bustling marketplace, filled with vendors selling all sorts of things. Tony headed straight for a store selling party supplies, and I followed him inside. The
