Bound By The Lycan's Curse. 23 Clarissa
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 left Clarissa's office feeling furious, my ears pounding and adrenaline rushing through my body. I got in my car and started driving like a maniac, my hand shaking on the steering wheel and my mind swelling with anger and frustration. Nothing made sense to me anymore and I was mad at everyone, mad at the world, mad at my mum for lying to me, mad at Clarissa and her stupid dad, mad at the moon goddess for cursing me and giving me a mate who could never be mine.Driving with no destination in mind, my thoughts were consumed by the events of the day and I remembered how Clarissa's dad sent heavily armed guards to arrest me. I tried to fight them off but when they accused me of abducting Clarissa, I had to go with them, or else they'd expose me.The road in front of my eyes became blurry as I tried to make sense of what just happened as my emotions were all over the place. She must have run to her daddy dearest to tell him that I threatened her and that my presence was unsafe for her

I stormed around the room. The room was in shambles, with broken glass scattered across the floor and a shattered TV lying in the corner. My father had a look of guilt etched across his face as he tried to avoid my gaze. "What the hell is this?" I shouted, gesturing to the destruction around me. "Did you think slipping something into my drink and trying to force me to sleep with that girl was the solution? Are you insane?" My father didn't answer, instead choosing to hang his head in shame. "Answer me!" I yelled, my voice filled with anger and disgust. "Why would you do something like that? I trusted you, and you betrayed me like this?" "I needed a solution," he finally replied, his voice barely above a whisper. "The pack needs an heir, and you're not getting any younger. I thought if you impregnated that girl, it would fix everything." "Fix everything?" I repeated disbelief in my voice. "You almost ruined my life, and you think that would fix everything? I can't believe you would

ClarissaMy family members were still mad at me because of Jalen and I felt bad because my dad and I have always been close. He was my go-to person whenever I had a problem but now he looked at me with so much disgust and hate in his eyes. The days rolled by and I hadn't heard from Jalen. I was preparing to go see Genevieve, my best friend and on my way out my mum stopped me and asked where I was going. I told her I was going to see Genevieve but she didn't believe me and she said I was hiding to go see my stupid Lycan mate. I told her no and that I haven't even heard from him. She then asked me when I reconciled with Genevieve because the last time she remembered we were not on speaking terms then I told her that she could call her to confirm and she called her. While they were speaking, I was so angry that my mum did not believe me. She hung up and muttered under her breath and went upstairs. I took deep breaths to calm myself and headed to my car yelling at my bodyguard to get m

I walked into the mall, the bright lights and bustling energy immediately lifted my spirits. Shopping took my mind off the chaos that was my life right now.I began wandering through the stores, taking my time to browse the racks and tables, trying on different outfits and accessories.As usual, I headed to the designer bags section and ended up buying several of them, a classic black leather tote from Gucci, a statement red velvet bag from Prada, and a sleek silver clutch from Chanel. They were all beautiful, and I couldn't wait to show them off.Francis, my bodyguard, followed closely behind me as I picked out the things that caught my eye. I tried on several different styles, from flowy maxi dresses to form-fitting bodycon styles. I finally settled on a beautiful emerald green wrap dress from Diane von Furstenberg, a romantic off-the-shoulder lace dress from Self-Portrait, and a playful ruffle-trimmed sundress from Zimmermann.I left the mall feeling much better than when I had arr

I lay in bed, staring up at the ceiling, my mind racing with thoughts of Jalen and the moment we shared outside. I couldn't shake the feeling that I was making a mistake by agreeing to marry Ivan. Marriage was a long-term commitment, and without love, how was such a marriage going to stand? But no one was in support of my relationship with Jalen because of the werewolf and the Lycan feud, and our romance was forbidden.I rolled over onto my side, pulling the covers up to my chin. I tried to clear my mind, but the image of Jalen's face kept creeping back into my thoughts. He was so handsome in a rugged way, with his dark hair and piercing hazel eyes. I remembered the way he looked at me, the way his eyes seemed to see right through me. It was like he could read my every thought and feeling.I groaned, feeling a pang of guilt in my chest as I thought about Ivan. He didn't deserve this and I knew marrying him was a huge mistake but I didn't have a choice. I tossed and turned, trying

The tension in my office was unbearably high. Ivan repeated himself, his voice filled with anger. "Are you deaf? I said leave."Jalen didn't move an inch. He stood there, his arms crossed over his chest, his gaze locked on Ivan. My heart panted with fear as I watched the two of them stare each other down."Jalen, please leave," I said, my voice barely above a whisper.But Jalen didn't budge. "I will leave when your stuck-up boyfriend learns his manners. It's stupid to talk to people like they're worthless," he sneered, his words filled with arrogance.Ivan burst out into laughter, his face twisted with derision. "Who the hell do you think you are, you bloody Lycan! Just because you bloody Lycans think you're stronger doesn't mean I'm scared of you."Jalen scoffed, a smirk playing at the corners of his lips. "I don't even plan to lift my finger because if I do, you will hate the outcome."The tension in the room was palpable. I could feel the anger and hatred emanating from both of the

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.

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
