Kovu's POV

"What the hell happened to you, Kaliyah?" I leaned against the nearest tree with my arms crossed, watching as Kaliyah picked herself up from the ground. That sparring match with Calum had to be the most shambolic display I had ever seen from her. She had always been a relentless warrior who never backed down from a fight. Heck, she could even give Calum a run for his money on a good day, but today? She was a shadow of that.

“Well, well, if it isn't the mighty Kaliyah getting her ass handed to her,” I called out, intentionally mocking her. I wanted to see that fire in her again. I refused to believe that the warrior who had just been one-shotted by Calum was Kaliyah. Impossible—it wasn't her.

Kaliyah shot me a glare, and I expected her usual vicious comebacks, but there was nothing. Only silence from her and a flicker of something in her eyes. Defeat? Resignation? I didn't know for sure.

    Kovu's POVI exhaled deeply, trying to steady my nerves as I reached out to Kyrax. We had done this countless times before, merging our minds and bodies until our energies flowed in perfect harmony. I knew this stage well—perhaps too well. It had become almost second nature to us.*Ready?* I asked, though I already knew his answer.*Always,* Kyrax growled in response.I closed my eyes and centered myself as I began the process. My breathing slowed, and I could feel the mana around us as I synchronized with Kyrax. Our spirits aligned, and our thoughts became one.The process was going smoothly, but just as we were about to fully merge, a sudden jolt tore through the connection. It was as if something had slammed into us from the inside, throwing us into chaos.*What the…* I barely had time to react before the backlash hit. Pain like never before crashed through me, searing every nerve, every muscle, every bone in my body. It was as if I was being reduced to atoms and reconstructed agai

    Kovu's POVI let out a breath I didn’t realize I was holding as the door to the healer’s chambers shut behind my father. The only thing whirling in my mind was the name of the mad witch—Zelena.Come to think of it, why on earth would he send me to her? The mere mention of her name sent shivers down my spine. Zelena’s reputation in our pack was infamous, even though she was locked in the underground dungeon. She was known for her insanity, but even so, she had a knack for prophecies, which came at random and were always accurate, no matter how cryptic they seemed at the time.I lay back on the bed, deep in thought about the pros and cons of this. Going to her could lead to answers, but it could just as easily lead to disaster. But what other choice did I have? I couldn’t continue like this; I had to figure out what was happening to me if I ever wanted to master the Bloodlust Ascendancy._I don't like this; that woman is unpredictable_, Kyrax growled in the crevices of my subconscious.

    Kovu's POV I stirred my mana, letting it course through my body to fight the cold emanating from the dungeon. It was so cold, I could have sworn I was in the wastelands in the north. The chill faded a little as my mana heated me up, and I continued to stare at the purple orbs glaring back at me.“I am Kovu. I've come to seek your help,” I said firmly, my voice bouncing off the stone walls of the cell.No response. The purple eyes remained locked on mine—unblinking and almost amused. I took a deep breath and tried again, making my voice louder and more assertive. “Zelena, I've come for—”An evil chuckle, which raised the hair on my skin, echoed through the dungeon. My muscles tensed, and Kyrax growled in the back of my mind, wary of the witch in the cell.“Come for what?” Her voice came out for the first time, soft with a seductive texture. “Do you even know what you've come for, little Lycan?”I furrowed my brows at her tone. Why did it feel like she was flirting with me? This was ne

    Kovu's POVStanding before me wasn’t some twisted, deformed creature I had imagined, but an extraordinarily beautiful woman. Her raven-black hair fell over her shoulders in silky waves, framing a face to die for.My eyes lowered to her generous bosom, eyeing the dress she wore that clung to her figure in a way that was clearly designed to lure in anyone who dared to look too long.Everything about her pulled you in: her deep purple eyes, her beautiful face, her full lips painted black, her seductive figure, and even the slight glimpse of fangs peeking out from her upper lip—all culminating in a devastating beauty that could raise the third leg of any man in the vicinity. And, unfortunately, I wasn’t immune.Blood surged toward my lower half, and I could feel my... Excalibur stiffening and rising slowly, which made me squirm in embarrassment.*Get a hold of yourself, you bastard. You have a mate, damn it!* Kyrax roared in my head.*I don’t have a mate, Kyrax.

    Kaliyah's POVA week laterI tightened the straps of my small bag, making sure everything I needed was secure. Today was the day the Alpha had decreed that we would leave for the Drakefang pack. This mission couldn't be more important, not just for me but for the entire Volkov pack. We needed Drakefang’s support to face Asterion, and failure wasn't an option. I had been chosen to lead the envoy alongside the irritable Kovu.My hands moved to the blue warrior robe on the hanger, and I slipped into it. It felt like flexible armor, and I liked the way the fabric felt against my skin. I stared at myself in the mirror, admiring my reflection as my mind wandered until it again drifted to the one man I shouldn't be thinking about: Kovu.I hadn't seen him in a week, and honestly, part of me was glad for the break. That arrogant, irritable, infuriating Lycan was a thorn in my flesh, capable of lighting my nerves on fire with just a glance. But still, his absence felt strange. I almost wondered

    Kaliyah's POVI took a deep breath and marched into the meeting hall. The tension in the air was so thick you could cut it with a knife, and I wasn’t surprised. Everyone knew how crucial this mission was. The elders sat in their usual spots with stoic expressions, while the generals discussed among themselves in hushed tones. A few pack members stood at the back, murmuring, and I even saw Calum standing off to the side.Kovu.He stood to one side, brooding as always, with his arms crossed over his chest and his gaze scanning the room. For a brief moment, our eyes almost met, but I quickly diverted my path to the farthest corner of the room. I wasn’t in the mood for his bullshit. I mean, it was too early for that.**You know he’s staring at you, right?** Akira purred like a kitten that had been offered milk.**Shut up, Akira. I don’t care what he’s doing!** I hissed back and adjusted my stance, trying my best to look calm and composed.**Liar,** Akira purred again. She picked a bad tim

    Kaliyah's POV We stepped out of the meeting hall, Calum walking ahead and Kovu beside me as we followed his lead. I ignored Kovu as usual, dismissing Akira's protests, and focused closely on Calum, trying to absorb every word he said. This mission was incredibly important to me, and I didn’t want any hiccups on my end. “We’ll be traveling in a small group,” Calum said with his characteristic calm voice that soothed hearts. “Six of us in total: myself, Kovu, you, and three of our most elite warriors. We don’t need a large number of warriors, as it would draw unnecessary attention to ourselves.” I nodded, listening intently while casting a quick glance at Kovu—unintentionally, of course. He looked bored, disinterested in fact, and I felt repulsed by his attitude. This wasn’t the right mindset to adopt on a mission as serious as this. His eyes flicked toward mine, and I quickly looked away before he could catch me staring. *Aw, a lover’s game of eye contact. Just give in already

    Asterion’s POV“Urghh.” I grunted as i thrusted into Tiffany. Her moans grew louder as i pushed deeper into her. Her fingers dug into my back, using it as a scratch post asi quickened my pace. Not that i minded though.I had grown bored of the way her body responded to mine. It became predictable, almost…mechanical. I knew every reaction, every sound she would make. It didn’t excite me anymore. But it did serve it’s purpose as a way to relieve myself temporarily.After a while, a long while, i felt my climax approaching and i slammed into her harder. Her back arched, her nails raked down my skin as my thrust speed increased until finally, i came, spilling inside her as her body shuddered beneath me. “As..asterion.” Her eyes rolled to the back of her head and soon after, she climaxed as well. I watched her writhing body for a while and then with a grunt, i pulled out, swinging my legs off the bed. I grabbed my robe from the chair, slipping it over my shoulders without sparing her

    Asterion's POVI waited, reclining with ease in the hot tub until the guards dragged Darius into my chambers. He was barely recognizable, his once hulking form now broken and battered, covered in blood and grime. He was slashed open in so many places it was a wonder he hadn’t bled out before reaching me. His wounds were healing, but his mana reserves were low, meaning it might take weeks before he could return to his optimal state.“My lord.” Darius managed a hobbled bow.I lifted a hand, dismissing the girls. They left without a word, and I watched as Darius hobbled unsteadily, barely managing to stay on his feet. The fool looked dreadful.“Explain yourself,” I said coldly.Darius sucked in a deep breath, and then the words started spilling out in a panicked, desperate rush. “I almost had them, my lord! I had Kovu on his knees, and Kaliyah—she was within reach, weakened. But then they used the beasts from Virethorn Glade. They overwhelmed me, tore my men to shreds. It was... ”“Enoug

    Asterion’s POVThe hot water enveloped my body as I reclined in the vast hot tub. Steam rose in lazy tendrils, and my muscles unwound as I sipped from a glass of red wine. Its taste was as rich and bitter as the realm I sought to rule with an iron fist.All around me were women who wore next to nothing or revealing clothes, catering to my every need. One held a cluster of grapes, feeding them to me slowly, another held a bottle of wine, ready to refill my cup when it was empty.I grasped the woman closest to me, pulling her into my arms. She gasped as I let my hand trail down her chest, kneading her breasts and pinching her nipples. She gasped again, continuing to feed me the grapes as I indulged myself.The doors of the chamber creaked open, and General Vorn entered. I had mind-linked him an hour ago, after he’d arrived with my army from another conquest, instructing him to come and give his report. His armor was covered in the dust of battle, and in his hands, he held a thick scroll

    Kovu’s POVKaliyah stopped in front of me with an unreadable expression. “Are you alright?” she asked sharply.I opened my mouth to retort, but no words came out. Her coldness surprised me, which shouldn’t have even been possible. I was supposed to be used to it by now, but why did I feel a searing pain in my chest just because of something that should have been the norm?Before I could gather my thoughts, Kaliyah knelt beside me, her hands moving to arrange the Irlai leaves around my wounds. They had come loose, barely clinging to my torn skin. I gritted my teeth and moved back slightly.“I don’t need your help,” I muttered.She ignored me entirely, securing the leaves with calm efficiency.“Just let her do her thing,” Calum sighed, rolling his eyes. “You’re in no shape to be stubborn.”“Shut up, Calum,” I retorted, clenching my jaw as I glared at her. She avoided my gaze, still silent as she reached for a small leather pouch on her belt. From it, she pulled more fresh Irlai leaves.

    Kovu’s POVI swung my mana-infused claw toward Darius, but he was always faster and one step ahead. The clash still rang in my mind as every attack he landed sent shockwaves through my body. I gritted my teeth, pushing through the pain, refusing to give up.But then… everything stopped.My world became nothing but a blur of agony. My body started to convulse, writhing in pain. Darkness. Heat. Cold. My pulse pounded in my ears, and I couldn't even tell if I was still alive.Then, suddenly, I gasped, and my eyes snapped open. It took me a moment to adjust as I shifted on the rocky ground I lay on. The searing pain in my body didn't relent, but I forced myself to breathe through it.When my blurry vision finally cleared, the first thing I noticed was the sky. The sun was setting, painting the sky in glowing red rays that spread across the horizon, far from the dim gloom of the Virethorn Glade.I shivered a bit as a cold wind blew, but I realized I wasn't freezing.I looked down, seeing a

  • Bound by a Hybrid and a Lycan    JUST A LITTLE LONGER

    Kaliyah's POVMy breath hitched as I clung tightly to Calum's fur while he raced like a madman through the dense undergrowth of the Virethorn Glade. His body moved with a frenzy, darting and weaving past the grotesque creatures that lurched out of the shadows and away from the ones pursuing us from behind.He's hurt, our mate! He's hurt! Akira's voice echoed in my mind, moaning in pain as she called out to Kovu.My grip on Kovu's unconscious and still body tightened as I stared at him. Blood soaked his clothes, and his wounds were too deep and numerous. To make matters worse, his regeneration was slow to kick in. I had to place my hand on his pulse numerous times to ensure he wasn’t dead, as my mind swirled with one question:Why would Kovu, of all people, sacrifice himself to save me?It wasn’t logical—it didn’t even make any sense. We were sworn rivals, enemies even. He had always regarded me with such potent hatred that I doubted whether the mate bond had any hold on him. But now…

    Kovu's POV*That little power boost still won’t save you,* Darius's voice rang through the mind link. *I’ve crushed Lycans stronger than you, Kovu. You should’ve stayed back at your pack like a good little pup and waited for your downfall.**Shut up!* I growled in fury. Without wasting any more time, I lunged forward with blinding speed, flooding my limbs with mana, activating Flash Step in the process. The ground cracked beneath me from the force of my launch, and I aimed my claws directly at Darius’s throat, my claws simmering with blood-red mana, sharp enough to slice through bone.Darius reacted just in time, bringing his front paw up to block my strike. His mana hardened around his paw into an impenetrable shield. My claws collided with his front paw, and sparks flew as our energies clashed, the force sending a shockwave rippling through the battlefield. I snarled, pushing harder, but Darius held firm, his muscles straining but unyielding.*Too weak,* he barked as mana flooded in

    Kovu's POVThe first step to activating Bloodlust Ascendancy was to become one with Kyrax. It was a merging of our minds and bodies until we were a single unified entity. I had always crossed this stage before, but recently, I couldn’t even get through this stage without a painful backlash wreaking havoc throughout my body. Now, though, as I prepared to activate the first phase, something felt different. The connection between us merged seamlessly into something deeper and stronger. Something different.It snapped into place with a fluidity I hadn’t felt before. My muscles coiled with newfound strength as our energies began to merge, slowly at first, but then with increasing intensity. Kyrax’s instincts melded with mine, sharpening my senses, enhancing my strength, and perfecting my control over mana.The mana around me thickened, taking on a crimson hue, and flared to life like an inferno.*Kyrax* I called for him, my voice merging with his deep growl.
