" What's the matter Kaiser?" I asked after making sure Alex was out of sight." Have you been having your nightmares lately?" He asked and I shook my head." Except for last night when I had a different nightmare, I haven't been having them Since I arrived at the Lycan kingdom. " I answered." A different one? What did you see? " Kaiser asked, his eyes narrowing as he scrutinized my face." It's terrifying Kaiser. I don't want to think about it." J replied, my mind replaying the scene of Alex looking at me with hurt expression, my dagger plunged deep Into his heart. His fresh blood coating my hands." Okay, I won't ask again but tell me something, is what you saw the reason you ran away from him? " Kaiser asked, making my eyes widen with surprise." How did you Know that?" I asked and he smiled." You are my sister Linda. I Know you like the back of my hand. But Linda, do you think running is the ultimate solution? Will it solve anything? Will it change anything? " Kaiser asked and I
" What's wrong with having feelings for her? She's a fine woman, caring and loving. Most importantly, she is not mated. You don't have a mate either. It's not bad to choose her as your life partner." I said in defense." She is an omega." Kaiser said in a low voice after a minute of silence." So what if she is an omega? Are you saying she is not worthy of being your mate Just because she is an Omega?" I asked him with anger and hurt in my heart. I have never liked it when others deemed omegas unworthy and I wasn't definitely expecting that from my own brother. Aren't they humans with wolves just like the rest? Why should they be looked down just because of a fucking rank?" Don't put words in my mouth. I never said she is not worthy. I just don't know if she feels the same. Besides, what happens if she finds her mate later? J would be left all alone, broken. " Kaiser sighed and shook his head, looking away." If you feel anything for her, then go for it. You would regret it for the r
Linda's POVIt was already late evening when Alex and I arrived back home. After dinner, we headed straight to our room. I suddenly felt scared being in the same room with Alex." Don't worry, I won't ask you why you ran away today but Linda, can you not do that again? If there's a problem, approach me and tell me about it. I am sure we can always find a way around it."He sat beside me on the bed, held my face in his hands, and gently wiped away the tears that were forming in my eyes."I don't know. I just felt really scared. At that moment, I just wanted to get away from everything so I ran away. I'm sorry for making you worry. " I replied.Alex smiled at me and placed his lips on my forehead." Don't think too much about it. Just tell me if something is bothering you. I'll try to understand you and help you through it."He kissed my forehead again and I could feel my cheeks burning. I tried to hide my blush by turning my head away.He pulled me closer to him and wrapped his arms ar
After having lunch which was of course prepared by me, we headed to our room.My body was yearning for a hot water bath. Heading to the bathroom, I filled the tub with hot water and stripped to the last piece. I then stepped inside, my body relaxing from the touch.The feeling of hot water enveloping my whole body was amazing.It was something that I was really grateful for being able to enjoy after a long day at the beach.I could feel the tiredness of today's event slowly fade away.When I finally felt comfortable, a knock resounded through the bathroom."Can I come in?" Alex requested and I called him in.He approached the tub, two glasses and a bottle of wine in his hands.I figured out that this would help set the mood." He said, smiling at me. I couldn't agree any less.Alex stripped his clothes before joining me in the tub.He placed both glasses down and poured the wine. I took one glass while he took the other, taking a sip.I moaned at the heavenly taste of the drink.It was
The following morning, I woke up, a huge smile on my face as I remembered what happened between Alex and I. The thought alone made warmth pool in my panties, and I found myself growing hot all over again.But as much as I would've liked to spend the rest of the day in bed with my sexy mate, who was by the way not by my side, my stomach was begging me for food, so I slowly rolled out of bed and stretched, letting out a yawn."Morning," a soft voice said, and I turned my head to see Alex standing in the doorway, two cups of coffee in hand. He looked like he'd been awake for a while, and he'd even gotten dressed, whereas I was standing here naked, my body still a little damp from sweat and other fluids.I smiled at him, feeling a bit shy as he came and handed me my cup of coffee, which I graciously accepted. He then wrapped his arm around my shoulders, pulling me against his body as we both sipped the warm, bitter liquid."Did you sleep well?" he asked."Like a baby. '' I said with a chu
After a late lunch, Alex and I decided to play a game to pass time." What do you want to play?" He asked and I shook my head. " I don't know...what do you have?"Alex got up and went over to the closet and opened it. " A lot of games...do you want a card game, board game, or a video game?" He asked and I tapped my chin. " Hmmm...maybe a card game..."" We could play UNO or Poker?" He suggested and I nodded. "UNO sounds fun."Alex came back with the box and started setting the cards up." What are the stakes?" I asked him and he gave me a smirk. " How about every time we get one of each color, we take an item of clothing off."I blushed. " You just want me naked again." I accused.He looked at me and smirked. " Damn right, I do."I shook my head. " Fine. But don't complain when you're the first one naked." I replied.He shrugged and handed me my cards. " Ready?"I nodded and put down a yellow card. He put a yellow four and we went on with the game.We played and he did end up getting
Today Alex decided that we would go hiking and then camp at the top of the mountain and spend our last day of the trip there.The mountain was not particularly tall or impressive, but I'd never hiked one before. As such, I was quite excited about the whole thing.We got up at the crack of dawn and made some simple breakfast. After packing up our bags, we set off.We started out following a dirt path that ran parallel to the road, but before long we were making our own way straight up the side of the mountain.We weren't in any particular rush, and there was no end goal or objective, so it was pretty enjoyable. There were no other people around, either." As a child, I have always wanted to do the things other children did, but I was never able to." I said, taking a memory lane down the ladder." Why is that?" Alex asked, seemingly curious." Now that I think about it, my parents have always been extra careful with me. One time, we went playing deep into the woods and we were attacked.
The night was spent cuddling and star gazing. Alex did not try to make any moves on me and I was thankful for that. After all the hiking and all, my body was too spent to engage in anything else physical. So, we just held each other tight as the night breeze blew over us and we were both fast asleep.The next day we packed up all of our belongings, which was not much to be fair. Then we trekked our way down to the car. I could not believe how much time it had taken for us to climb the trail the first time. The walk down was nothing compared to what it had been when going up. I wasn't complaining though, it was a new experience for me and an exciting one for that matter.When we got to the car, I had the feeling that my adventure was coming to an end. I was kind of sad but happy at the same time. It would be nice to have a soft bed to lay on and the promise of a hot shower.We climbed in the car and Alex started the engine. The drive back to the castle was a bit longer than expected bu
Crawling to her, I shifted back to my human form. Clutching her into my arms, I watched as she took her last breath. Turning to look at Alex, he was slowly drawing closer to the claws of death. Letting out a loud growl, something snapped inside me and I felt a sudden rush of adrenaline rushing through me as something crawled under my skin. It was sweet, dark, eerie and sadistic.A sense of dread overtook me as a new power surged in my veins, burning and searing my flesh as it rushed to the surface. A shining beam of light surrounded me as I felt a strange coldness settling deep in the marrows of my bones then I exploded, letting everything go. The ground underneath me started to quake, the air inside the four walls turned thick, my skin felt as if it was on fire, but instead of burning me it felt like it was peeling off.Groans and grunts filled the room, a sudden tsunami surrounding me, lifting me up and driving in circles. Beams of pure light hit the enemy, a single blow sendin
The more Lucian ranted the more I pitied him. Pathetic right? But as a child, he didn't deserve to be treated that way. Just like he said, I was raised in wealth but what more was I offered. Just like him, I was a caged bird, caged by the walls and rules of the kingdom yet what I went through as a child didn't influence what I am now. " That's no excuse to harm innocent people. " I started calmly.I could feel my body burning, no, scorching would be the perfect explanation. The heat was so much that I just wanted to claw at my skin. " Innocent people? " Lucian sneered. " How innocent could they be? Thanks to those so-called innocent people, I was branded dangerous, a traitor. And that stupid fortune teller, claiming that I would bring downfall to the whole land. Her useless words added to that pathetic man's hatred towards me and I was kicked away in the middle of the night, just like the dirty secret I was in his hands. Now, I just want to fulfil her words, bring the world under
Linda's povThe fight between Rosabella and I was getting intense. She was like a cornered beast, fighting it's way for freedom.Her attacks were ferocious and unforgiving, not giving me time to breath as she unleashed her full force upon me. One thing I realised, her magic wss weak, meaning her witch side Wasn't that strong. She was relying on her vampire and lycan powers to fight."I don't want to do this Rosabella" I told her as I tried to disarm her without hurting her. "You should have thought about that before you betrayed your people and join that man to cause ruckus. Rosabella sneered. " And you think you are Qualified to tell me what and what not to do? " I shook my head. At this point, she could already tell that she was clearly not strong enough to rival me yet she was insisting on fighting to the death? " Even if you don't care about yourself, at least think about your son. He is young and needs you. He needs a mother to care and love him. " I said in an attempt to c
Alex povWe set off after Linda's mother and I had a little chat.While I was away, I instructed Fiona to take charge of the kingdom and if something happens to me, she would take over as the Next lycan king.As for Linda, she would chose whether to stick around or leave the kingdom and continue with her life.I know she loves her profesion so I did the only thing I thought was good for her, setting her free.With me gone, i don't think she will be comfortable living with the lycans. Not like my people won't accept her, it's just that staying back would only give her pain." We still need you, she needs you. " Leo mindlinked me as we approached the prison where the battle would be held.I smiled, albeit bitterlyI didn't want this for myself, for my kingdom and most especially for my mate but some things are inevitable.This battle will only end with my death.I nodded at him.Leo looked away. I could see the pain in his eyes yet he remained strong." Change of plans. Your mate will t
Linda's povMorning came and as promised, Aurora sneaked into my prison cell. " Ready? " She asked and I nodded. Muttering a few words, I was freed from the chains making my eyes widen in surprise. " How did you do that? " I asked and she smiled. "The cuffs are something my family created so I can control them, " She replied, shrugging her shoulders. She then casted a spell on herself, looking exactly like me. Looking at her, I could hardly tell the difference, even her scent matched mine. " Go now! You can't waste more time. " She urged me. Nodding, I turned around and left. I found myself Following the path like I knew the place and ended up Aurora's room. Sitting on her bed, I prayed to the goddess to let her see the end of the day. My skin felt dirty from all the days I had stayed without a bath. Stripping, I headed to the bathroom.I washed away the dirt and the grime that had collected itself on my skin.After I finished, I stepped out of the bathroom feeling refresh
Linda's POVShe was right.Whether Alex stayed back at the kingdom or came to this damn forsaken place, a confrontation between them was inevitable. From what I saw about that man, his hatred for Alex ran deep and there's nothing that could stop him from taking his revenge on Alex.It's funny or should I say it's twisted how that man thinks?After being discarded by his father, he blames Alex for his misfortunes?I nodded." Do you have a plan?" I asked, taking x deep breath and embracing the fact that it was time for war.Macbeth grinned, " Now that's More like it."I smiled, amazed at how even her expressions and vigor matched Valeria's." Lucian plans to attack the castle but we will do it Instead. Tomorrow before noon, seduce him, make him let his guard down. We will invade this place, eliminate all the rogues and goddess knows what fate will be served to that bastard because I won't let him breathe past tomorrow." Macbeth said, her words filled with determination." Alright, then
Macbeth povComing here was something that I would probably get a Scolding from my father but at this point, I didn't care. I needed to do this for my sister.For so many years, I had tried to convince my father to bring her back to the deep sea where her family is but he never agreed." She is a witch, Macbeth. She can't survive here. " That would always be his reply.He was right yet every time I heard his answer, I would not help but be angry.Angry that he never found a way to bring her to us.I would sneak occasionally to the dry land and sneak a peek at her yet every time I saw her, I left more heartbroken than the previous time.Her life among the lycans wasn't as bad. She was respected and valued here. Nobody treated her badly. At Least that would comfort me everytime.She had someone who adored her to the moon and back. Sometimes, I even envied her. Her life was fun, nothing like the mundane life I lived under water." Are you even listening to me? " I heard Kaiser's voice as
Looking at the scene unravelling before me made me sick to the stomach. Turns out that the reason that child looked like me was because he was my brother's son, a brother I never knew about." So now, do you still want to deny it? " Macbeth asked and I sucked in cold breath." There's nothing to deny but the fact still remains, I never knew that I had a brother somewhere. " I replied in all honesty." I can't believe this! " Leo murmured, looking all shaken." You really didn't know? " Macbeth pressed but I was getting fed up with her." How many times must I say that I never knew!? " I raised my voice as I spoke." If you really want your help then the first step you take is trust us. Why would I lie about something so serious? If I ever knew about having a brother, do you believe i'll want to be the lycan king? I have never loved being tied down to the throne. " I added and she nodded, looking away." I think Alex is telling the truth. He would not let someone take Jos mate away and
The lady turned to look at Leo with an hostile look painting her face. " You know nothing about my family so I suggest you stop making wild guesses." She warned. I shook my head at Leo , stopping him from arguing with her. At this point , we were supposed to stick together to face the enemy and not fight amongst ourselves. As for their differences, although I doubt there's any , they will solve them later. " Show me to my sister's room and bring something that belongs to your mate." The lady instructed and I nodded. " Leo , can you show her to valeria's room? " I requested but he growled at me, obviously dissatisfied. "'Why should I take her? " He asked. " Forget it . I'll head there myself. I'll just follow her scent. Macbeth replied before turning away and heading in the direction of valeria's room.I sighed and Leo frowned. He then glared at me. " What? " I asked, feigning innocence. " Why would you allow her to enter valeria's room? " He asked and this time, it's Kaiser
