HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME
Last Updated:
2024-08-02 14:36:05“Calm yourself, it's me.” Asterion's smooth voice washed away my fears, and I breathed a sigh of relief as he removed his hand from my mouth. I turned around and looked into his unnatural but beautiful purple eyes; they seemed so ethereal, like stars twinkling in the night.
“It’s alright. I'm here.” His hand found its way to my cheek, and I closed my eyes, leaning into his touch.
“I’ve missed you,” I said, rushing into his embrace and clinging to him.
“I know, I'm sorry it's taken so long for us to meet. I had to take care of some last-minute tasks your father piled up for me,” he explained as he stroked my hair.
We broke the hug, and he scanned me slowly, taking in the red lingerie that peeked out from under my robe. I sensed his purple eyes darken with desire, and a blush crept up my cheeks.
“You look…” his voice trailed off as he licked his lips.
“Beautiful?” I offered, shyly playing with the buttons on his shirt.
“Ethereal is the right word.” He grinned and closed the gap between us with a deep kiss.
“You shouldn't be wearing things like this around me.” He broke the kiss and smirked. “It does things to me.”
“Oh. I… I thought you might like it.” My cheeks were bright red from embarrassment as I looked down to avoid his gaze.
“Like it? Love it.” He grabbed my chin and raised my head gently to look at him. “But first, let's get you out of those clothes, shall we?”
He quickly removed my robe and stood back, taking a moment to admire me in the lingerie. I couldn't help but feel a bit self-conscious under his intense gaze.
“Perfect.” He said and closed the distance again, smashing his lips into mine. His kiss was more urgent this time, filled with a desire that made my heart pound against my ribs.
While he ravaged my lips, his fingers skillfully unclasped my bra. Then he scooped me up in his arms and carried me to the bed.
“Tomorrow’s your birthday. I have a gift for you, but first, let me make you a woman tonight.” He whispered into my ear and laid me on the bed.
I nodded, feeling nervous but also anticipating what was about to come next, and he didn't disappoint as what followed was a night that I would never forget.
******
The soft glow of the moonlight filtered through my curtains and landed on my face at exactly 12 a.m. My eyelids fluttered open, and I rose and stretched my body. Scenes of the intimate night I shared with Asterion flashed through my mind, and a small smile graced my lips.
After we had rounded up our ‘activities,’ I had sneaked back to my room and fallen into a deep slumber. Why did I wake up at this ungodly hour, you might ask? I didn't know, but since I couldn't go back to sleep, I figured I'd take a stroll around.
“Well… happy birthday to me, I guess,” I whispered to myself. Mom and Dad are usually stoic about my affairs, and I couldn't even remember the last time they wished me a happy birthday, so that was canceled. The other pack members were not so different except for Asterion and Tiffany.
Both of them showered me with love and care that I had never gotten from my own biological parents, and I was forever grateful for their roles in my life.
Jumping out of the bed, I made my way to the wardrobe, rummaging through before selecting a simple white dress and slipping into it.
“Time for a walk.” I whispered and stepped out of my room. Tiptoeing so I wouldn't make a sound, I managed to make my way out of the Alpha castle into the cool night. The full moon shone in all its glory, and I raised my head up, my lips moving in silent prayer.
“Moon goddess, today's my birthday. I've suffered throughout the years because I have failed to awaken my wolf. Please, hear me and grant my wish for a wolf companion. Hear my prayers and grant me strength, moon goddess.”
I closed my eyes, hoping that my prayers would be answered on the spot, but nothing happened. I mean, what was I expecting?
Shaking my head in self-pity, I decided to clear my head by exploring the forest that bordered the pack territory. I reached the forest and continued to walk aimlessly with no destination in mind until I heard some faint sounds coming from a particular direction.
Pausing my steps, I focused my attention, and with an effort, I could hear the sounds of moans and groans coming from a location not too far from where I was.
I should have probably headed home. I should have listened to the danger signs ringing in my head, but for whatever reason, I ignored the signs and walked towards the direction of the sounds, eager to satisfy my curiosity.
The closer I got, the more the moans got even louder, and I was convinced that whoever was making these noises was engaging in some activities of a sensual kind.
Finally, I reached the source of the sounds, which came from behind an underbrush. My heart pounded as I peeked through it to see who it was.
Squinting my eyes, I could make out two naked bodies entangling each other. I focused on their faces, wondering who on earth would be having sex in the middle of the forest, and a gasp escaped my lips when I recognized who these people were.

Seraphina POVAsterion? Tiffany?” Tears welled up in my eyes as I recognized the people making love right in front of me. I blinked my eyes, hoping this was just an illusion. I prayed that my mind was just playing tricks on me, but alas, it was real.My best friend, the girl who always had my back, and Asterion, my mate, the man I loved more than anything in this world, were making passionate love under the pale moonlight, completely oblivious to my presence. A searing pain pierced my heart, and I grabbed my chest with both hands as the tears dripped from my eyes. Never in my life had I expected this. I was the Omega runt of the pack, hated and despised by my parents and pack members alike.These two were the only people that showed me any semblance of love and care, which made this betrayal hurt like a physical blow, a knife to my heart that stole the air from my lungs.A sob escaped my lips, and all actions and sounds ceased at that point. “Who's there?” Asterion growled as he pul

Seraphina POVDarkness surrounded me from all corners. It was a void so deep and cold that it felt like I was sucked into a black hole or abyss. It was terrible. What made it even more frightening was the faces surrounding me and taunting me with their sneers and wicked laughters. The faces of Asterion and Tiffany.“Seraphina, you're worthless. You will never amount to anything in your life.” Asterion taunted with a malicious glint in his eyes.“You should just die, your existence is not needed on this earth. Die!” Tiffany sneeredI closed my ears with my hands, trying to down out the noises but their voice still reached me. Their faces twisted and contorted into horrible masks that haunted my consciousness even though I closed my eyes. “Leave me alone! Leave me alone!” I screamed as my heart pounded in my chest. Memories of their betrayal flooded my mind. Tiffany's remorseless attitude, Asterion's stoicism and his claws plunging into heart and killing me. It was as if I relived ever

Kovu POVMy heart pounded as I watched the coffin's lid burst open and Kaliyah emerging from within. The last time I laid eyes on her, she was on the brink of death. Our pack's best warrior was torn apart in the last war against the Eldrath pack. I wasn't able to make it back to the palace in time and I knew she died in my arms.“Catch her!” I ordered when I noticed her falling to the ground. Two of my men rushed forward and caught Kaliyah just before she collapsed to the ground. I marched towards them as they laid her gently on the ground and checked her pulse.“Is she..” my voice trailed off.“Yes…she's alive.” One of them confirmed with a look of disbelief. “She's still breathing, she just passed out.”I clenched my fists, trying to make sense of what I was seeing. Her body wasn't riddled with claw marks, bites and the huge hole in her heart was fully healed. Heck it looked like her skin was glowing in fact. What the hell was going on? How could she still be alive?The wounds she r
Last Updated : 2024-08-02Bound by a Hybrid and a Lycan THE PATH HAS BEEN LAID
Kaliyah's POV Fogs of memories swirled in my mind as I slipped in and out of consciousness. These memories, I knew they weren't mine at all; they were the memories of the body I was currently in. They forced themselves into my being, imprinting someone else's experiences into my core until I didn't know who I was anymore. The fragments of memories continued to sink in, and as the final fragment merged with me, a cold sensation overcame me. It was the memory of how the original owner of this body died, but that wasn't what made me shiver in horror. It was a pair of cold purple eyes that stared down at me, and his lips stretched in a devious smirk. Asterion. In the memory, he had killed her in the exact same fashion as he killed me—a claw to the heart. A sick feeling of déjà vu consumed me, and I felt myself screaming out in terror. This was way too coincidental. “Ughh.” Finally, I opened my eyes and blinked against the warm light that flooded my vision. “Lady Kaliyah!” I heard

Kovu's POV I followed my father and stormed out of the room. I was so mad, the urge to punch something burned in me, but I was doing a rather good job of restraining myself. I stared at the broad back of my father as he walked in front of me. The praises of Kaliyah ringing in my head only served to fuel the fire raging in my gut. Punching him wouldn't have been a bad idea at all. Why on earth was he praising Kaliyah's return like some fucking simp? Practically worshiping her return? Because she was supposedly the pack's best warrior. It made me sick to my stomach. I could still hear his words echoing in my head: *Our pack's greatest warrior.* Preposterous. How could he ignore everything I've done? Everything I've worked for? I was his son, for Goddess' sake. *Mate, go back to her now, Kovu, she's our mate, and she needs us.* Kyrax had been howling in my head for the past 30 minutes, and I wished I could just shut him up forever at this point. *She's not my mate, Kyrax,* I

Kovu POV*Shut up, Kyrax,* I snapped back at him as I walked down the corridor. *I don't want to hear it right now.**Try all you want, but you can't ignore it, Kovu. The bond will keep pulling you back to her. You'll only make things harder for yourself.*Both my Lycan and I couldn't seem to come to an agreement, and I wasn't in the mood for a lecture from him. He had never been like this—so annoying and uncooperative—so I blocked him out as best as I could.The mate bond was already a heavy burden, and the last thing I needed was Kyrax reminding me of it every five seconds.I reached my chambers in record time and flung the door open. I stepped inside and began to pace back and forth, trying to work off my frustrations.Before long, there was a knock on the door, and before I could respond, it swung open and Daphne stepped into the room. She wore a see-through gown that gave me a good view of her ample breasts and delightful curves. Her eyelids fluttered seductively, and she swayed

Kaliyah's POVI yawned and rose from my bed as the glow of the full moon streamed through the curtains and fell on my face. Stretching my body, I was surprised to find that I was feeling very… energetic. The fatigue and weariness I had felt were gone, replaced by a newfound agility.I looked at the full moon, shining in all its majesty, and couldn’t help but whisper a silent prayer of thanks to the Moon Goddess.I searched for my Lycan, Akira, within, and I could feel our connection thrumming strong. It still felt unbelievable to me that I now had an inner beast and had finally realized my dream of becoming a shifter.I’d also noticed something else since waking up: I felt an extraordinary vitality coursing through my body, as if electric energy had infused every cell, leaving me feeling powerful. It was like…*Mana, the energy given to us by the Moon Goddess. It is what connects us to the earth and the moon, and it’s what makes the shift into our true forms possible. It’s the essence

I barely had a moment to react, but in the nick of time, my instincts took over, fueled by the mana. I twisted my body just in time, the claws grazing past where my head had been only a fraction of a second earlier.Kovu crashed into the ground, and I rolled to the side, using the momentum to get back on my feet. We both stood up and locked eyes. All I could see in those eyes was burning hatred.*What is wrong with you? Why did you attack me?* I snapped at him through the mind link. I mean, who wouldn’t be mad when you just got your head nearly chopped off in a surprise attack?*Shut the hell up!* Kovu growled in response. *Why would you be out here parading yourself around?**Parading myself around? What kind of question is that? I’m not the one tryin

Bound by a Hybrid and a Lycan THE LAST LESSON
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
Bound by a Hybrid and a Lycan HE HAS RETURNED
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.
Bound by a Hybrid and a Lycan DARK MAGIC
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

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…

I was about to be killed, but at least I had stalled Darius long enough for her to escape. I stared at the claws, shining under the moonlight as dark mana swirled around them, and I closed my eyes, waiting for death.*We had a good run,* I reached out for Kyrax, bidding farewell to my Lycan. He responded with a reluctant, tired growl, accepting the fate that was about to befall us.Just as his claws descended, a sharp howl pierced the air.I opened my eyes in shock, and Darius paused, his claws freezing mid-air as his head whipped toward the direction of the howl. Another howl followed, then another, and suddenly the entire forest was alive with grotesque, bone-chilling howls—deep and r

Bound by a Hybrid and a Lycan I'LL END IT 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
Bound by a Hybrid and a Lycan ONE OF US WILL HAVE TO DIE TONIGHT
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.
