"George?"

I took a shuddering breath, leaning closer into the wall as if it would make me disappear. I was utterly thrown off my feet, there were so many questions running around in my head.

What was he doing here? Why was he here?

Most of all, why was he looking at me like that. George blew out a breath, running his fingers through his salt and pepper curls. When those striking silver eyes fell me, my breath caught in my froze,

"What are you doing here?" I asked slowly, cautious, "Do you know the penalty if I'm caught with a male wolf?"

He cleared his throat before answering, "Trust me, I'm aware of this. But I had to come, Dahlia said you needed my help."

My head whipped around, searching for any listening ears.

"Don't worry, I scouted the area. We're safe, you can talk."

My eyes narrowed even further, normally I would feel butterflies unfurling in my stomach at his throaty voice but now...I felt nothing.

He placed a hand on my shoulder and I stiffened, "You're having difficulty evi

    The double doors flew open with a loud noise and I rushed inside, my brows furrowing the moment I saw the commotion that was happening inside. I'd expected a lot of things but it wasn't this.Tables were strewn everywhere and there was a man who collapsed on the floor, struggling for breath. But that wasn't what caught my attention, it was the small crowd that had gathered up front. I moved towards there, shimmying my way through the dense crowd. It was easy for me to slip past the bodies due to my slim nature and soon, I was in the front of the crowd.My hands flew to my mouth at the sight in front of me, a large burly man was pummeling his fist into John's face, Paige was held by two men, she was screaming helplessly at the man to stop but his punches only increased,I growled, propelling forward and ramming into his side. The large man landed on the floor, snapping his head in my direction, "You," He barked, flashing his long canines at me. I glowered back, the tips of my canines

    The number you're dialing is not currently not available. I sighed, pressing the decline button harder than intended. My eyes went to the bed beside me and its occupant, Paige was deeply asleep, her legs strewn about everywhere and her lips parted to release soft snore. It was still dawn, a little after six and everyone was deep in slumber...except me. Ever since we got back, I'd been trying to reach Theo to no avail. I sent him texts, calls and even voicemails but he didn't reply to any of them. I wondered if he was that mad at me but shook it off.He should know that I did that for our sakes, pursuing a relationship would only bring negative impact, especially on me. My plan was to quietly exit this place, preferably with my head intact.I looked down at my phone screen, my last text glowing brightly. It was a simple phrase, one that showed my desperation. If there was anyone who could crack this mystery, it was him.I needed to know what I was. All these years of being treated li

    Thump, Thump, Thump.The rhythmic beating of my heart pounded like drums in my ears. It was difficult to keep standing and I'd been standing for long. My legs and neck ached plus my eyes were beginning to droop. After I'd been brought to the throne room, Lady Calloway left to seek the dowager but she hadn't returned yet. So I was left to stand alone in the cold and empty room, trepidation gnawing at my chest. I already knew what was going to happen. What I didn't know was how? A loud groaning sound echoed from behind me and I turned to see the do wager approaching with Lady Calloway in tow. There was another person with them, a man and when he got closer, I could see his bright white hair. Why was the assistant supreme advisor here? Where was Theo?I quickly bowed my head when they neared but they walked past me without a word. Lady Calloway stopped a few feet ahead of me, she had changed her attire now, dressed in suit pants and a white button-up."Dahlia Winchester." The Queen's

    Three days.I'd spent an excruciatingly long three days inside this cold dark room with each day harder than the last. The nights were worse, there were no blankets available so I was left to curl up, shivering on the bed like a leaf. And the mosquitoes were the worse part,They kept buzzing around my ears and I woke up each morning to find large red bumps all over my arms and legs. My nightmares returned with full force, the guards were complaining about how much I screamed and one threatened to cut off my tongue if I tried it again tonight,I couldn't take it anymore. I was tired, hungry and extremely suffocated. I'd never seen myself as claustrophobic but if I spent another day inside this cell, I would slit my own throat."Excuse me," I weakly crooned to the female guard, "Excuse me?" I called louder and she stopped her pacing, eyes falling on me.She cocked her head to the side, drawing near to the steel-barred doors. "What?"I scratched at my throat, ignoring the tiny red marks

    It was the next day and the knot in my stomach only grew worse. Somehow, I knew that it was going to be today. As usual, Leslie brought my meal that consisted of half-baked potato and a fruit juice and as always, I munched on it it silence but the unsettling feeling in my gut didn't allow the food to stay down. I threw up on the corner of the room, ignoring Leslie's hard glare. I braced myself with the wall, leaning tiredly against the grimy metal gates."Hey!" Leslie slammed her baton against metal but this time I didn't flinch, my eyes were closed and my fist clenched on my chest, "Hey!" She did it again and this time I turned to look at her.She staggered slightly when she saw the depleted look in my eyes, I thought she was going to say something but she just cleared her throat, crossing her arms behind her back, "Stop puking, it smells!"I opened my mouth to apologize but the sound of the entrance doors opening cut me short. Our head simultaneously swivelled in that direction and

    Claws.Blood.Screams of Terror.Fire.I woke with a start, jumping from the bed and clutching my throbbing chest. My eyes darted around the strange room and then fell on the fluffy blanket that was draped over my lower half. I grabbed the material in my hand, feeling how soft it was,What was-"You're awake?" The voice startled me and when I looked up, I noticed him. Theo settled beside me, a weary smile lighting his features. He pushed back the hair covering half of my face behind my ear, pinching my cheek lightly, "How do you feel?"I opened my mouth to speak but found that I could not. My throat was sore, it felt like there was an inferno inside and I gasped. My fingers flew up to my neck but instead of meeting skin, the smooth surface of a bandage was what I touched instead. I gave the man in front of me a confused look and he sighed, dropping his hand on the space between us. "You got hurt pretty badly," He moved on to grab the pitcher next to me, pouring water into the glas

    I slowly trace my fingers at the back of his palm, taking note of every raised bump and faded scars. My back was pressed to his chest and his face nuzzled into my neck, we had been staying like this for the past ten minutes, neither of us had said a word. The buzz of our desire satiated and the throbbing ache in between my legs had dulled down completely. My cheeks heated when I remembered what he did with his tongue and teeth, the memory still vivid in my head causing me to clench my thighs together,"Mhmm," Theo rumbled from behind me, rubbing his nose along the skin on my neck, "You're getting aroused again," He continued the action and I stifled a giggle.I peered down at him, my lips pursed together, "Theo?"His head slowly rose up but instead of looking at me, he pressed his head against mine, a gesture I was beginning to love."What's wrong, little wolf?" He mumbled and I breathed in deeply before continuing,"What's going to happen to me?"The question hung in the air, he stop

    I try my best to keep up with her but she's too fast, her long legs crossing long strides before I even make one. I wonder how she's able to walk that fast with heels that high. She abruptly stopped, swivelling on one hell and facing me,My speed-walking comes to a sharp halt and I jump back. Lady Calloway silently eyed me, looking as though she wanted to say something,"Did he tell you what to say if anyone asks you any questions at the court?"It wasn't hard to guess who the "He" was so I nodded. After my revelation in his room, Theo had asked me to return to the court, he'd said he would find out answers but I already had one. I let him though, the whole was just as shocking to me. "Good," She made to turn back when I called out her name causing her to freeze.I searched my mind for the best way to phrase the question before settling on, "You know who I am."She cocked a brow, "Of course, Dahlia Winchester." She said with a chin tilt but the sparkle in her told me that she was dan

  • Bride of the Lycan King   Epilogue

    |SIX YEARS LATER|Castle Black, Pack Black Haven(Capital city).Another chapter. Another day, combined with hours of waiting and anticipating his return. It is cold, dreadfully so and it seems like no matter the amount of layers I put on, I will still remain frozen. Maybe it is because I am pregnant but Paige says I should keep warm, so the child wouldn't end up a white wolf as his mother. But I am doubtful, the doctor already said that one of the children will take on my gene, I only wonder who."Your highness!"Today, I had nothing important to do, asides settling a dispute between two neighbours who claimed ownership over a goat. Unlike what I'd expected, a Queen didn't have much duties asides making sure that the capital was in order. It took months to help the beggars on the streets and even longer to put an end to alleyway bag thiefs. I had to persuade the council to fund an open house for the poor and needy plus two orphanages as well."Your Highness!!"At first, they were skep

    Gorgeous.The girl staring back at me was so unbelievably gorgeous, it shocked me to the core. Her snow blonde hair was thrown over a shoulder in beautiful waves, golden flowers were pinned in different angles of her head. Her ruby red lips would put the colour of blood to shame and kohl-rimmed eyes blinked back at me."You are truly stunning, Luna Emma," The voice from behind me was almost starling and I tore my eyes away from my reflection to stare at Lady Calloway who had an expression of awe etched on her features.I smiled grimly, looking back at the mirror. The gown I wore was a shimmering blue, the same shade as her eyes. Although she truly looked stunning, her lips were pulled down into a small frown.I blew out a heavy breath, twisting around to face the woman in front of me, "Do you really think I would be a good Queen?" I asked hesitantly, chewing on the inside of my cheek.Lady Calloway smiled gently, crouching and placing a palm above my hand, "I think you will make a gr

    I stirred on the bed, stretching my limbs with a pop. My eyelids fluttered open, lips parting to release a drawn out yawn,I winced softly, rubbing my exposed tummy. My vision was a bit blurry and I squinted when I turned towards the window, the bright morning light shining in my direction."You're awake," I whipped in the direction of the voice, my lips pulling into a lazy smile. Theo walked around the bed towards my end and leaned to press a soft kiss on my head. He was still shirtless but had donned on a different pair of pants that looked a little bit oversized. His hair was messy on top of his head and there was a twinkle in his eyes, one I hadn't seen before. "Sleep good?" I shook my head, pointing between my legs, "I feel sore," My voice came out as a small whine causing him to huff out a short laugh."I knew you would say that, hence I prepared a warm bath for you,."I frowned at his statement. Warm bath?My question was brought to a cease when he moved his hands beneath my

    The hem of my robe dragged across the floor as I walked, the candle was resting perfectly on the inside of my palm and I had to keep from wincing every time the hot wax dropped on my skin. It was dark, the moon hadn't fully risen yet all we had as illumination was the dim light of the bulbs overhead and the large rose-scented candles in our grip.The lady in front stopped suddenly, causing all of us to grind to a halt. She turned to look at me and for a moment, the corner of her lips curled upwards. Lad Calloway nudged her head towards the close door,"This is his chamber, wait inside until he comes." I inhaled deeply before expelling the air. In one swift motion, I turned towards the door and tipped my chin in a confident manner,"Open it," I said, my determined gaze set on the embellishments on the wooden entrance.Tonight was the night everyone had been anticipating, including me. The mating ceremony was a revered ritual among us, it was when two people either chosen or fated mate

    I took in a deep breath after explaining, watching warily for his reaction. His face was gloom and drawn tight, there was a little furrow between his brows which meant that he was still digesting everything.Finally, he exhaled before shifting to properly look at me, "Why didn't you tell me? I would've ripped the bastard's head right off."I smiled wryly, tightening our conjoined fingers together, "Trust me, I wanted to do that too. I debated if killing was the best idea and then choose not to do it.""Why?" He asked curiously and I chuckled softly, bumping my shoulders against his."Because," I started, drawling in a tired manner, "For people like Hansen, their lives matter less to them but their prestige on the other hand?" I shook my head, "That's what their entire world is built upon." Theo hummed thoughtfully, his eyes glazing over. Suddenly he smiled brightly, throwing an arm over my shoulder, "I'm glad I have such a smart mate."I rolled my eyes, stifling the giggle that was t

    I stared at my reflection in the large mirror, my fingers playing with the silk robe tied around my waist. After the whole contest yesterday, I was brought into the Queen's quarters and was given strict instructions not to leave there until instructed. Apparently, I had to be cleansed and purified before the mating process began.The dowager had asked me to phone my family and order them to be on their way so they would make it in time for the coronation. That was this morning and I haven't picked up my phone yet,"Black looks good on you,"I flinched, whipping around to face the intruder. Theo was casually leaning against the wall, arms crossed against his chest and a serious look in his eyes,I frowned, puzzled by his appearance, "How-when did you get here?"He shrugged, pushing himself from the wall and stalking towards me, "A while back,"I sighed and turned to face the morrow away, my fingers still fiddling with the knot in front. When he wrapped his large arms around my waist, I

    "Should I be scared or nervous?"I gave the man a grim smile, pushing the small cup of tea towards him before grabbing my own. I gingerly took a sip, savoring in the warm sweetness that invaded my tongue instantly,"Which one of the two do you think is more appropriate?" I asked, arching a brow when he pushed his cup away, a small gesture but one I caught nonetheless.I gave him a look, one he not-so-politely ignored, clearing his throat loudly, "I don't quite know, you're no longer a contestant anymore but the mate of the Alpha and future Queen of the entire werekind. It would be stupid not to feel some amount of petrification." My lips curled and I slowly placed the cup back on the table, smacking my lips together, "I'll be straight with you, Lord Hansen," That piqued his attention causing him to lean nearer, "I called you here for one specific reason,"Something akin to uneasiness flashed in his eyes but he quickly concealed it with a cocky smile, "Do tell," "Jessica." I said si

    When I was younger, I always wished that I would get like my sister's colour of wolf. Dahlia was my role model, everything she did, I copied and she loved it too so it was only natural that I got her colour. But sometimes, in the secret I would wish for my mother's colour too, hers was a beautiful grey and I loved the way the fur looked underneath the moonlight. Never in my life would I imagine being a white wolf. A wolf so powerful, they were regarded as too much for the werekind. A wolf so special, they were rare to find.So why, why did the moon goodness find me fit to become one?My eyes flew open, burning so bright and powerful. It felt like the sun was scorching me from inside and I couldn't help it. A piercing scream ripped its way from my chest and I curled into myself,My wolf emerged like lightning, spearing through my entire system. My eyes flew open and I shook my head but I realized that I wasn't in my human form anymore.Jessica looked stunned, her jaw was hanging open

    The arena was filled to the brim, I was very much certain of that. They had used the same place as the first round where we had to go through different obstacle courses, the same place where I had purposefully broken my leg in a bid to avoid what I was presently doing.I looked around me, at the wild crowd cheering and crying. Their sentences almost inaudible since they were all yelling at once, excitement and tension pooled in my stomach,My eyes met my opponent's but she wasn't focused on me, her gaze was on the crowd. She was smiling and waving at them as though they were chanting for her, probably they were I couldn't hear anything either ways. I wondered if Lord Hansen had told her that his plan had flopped and there was nothing holding me back now. I wondered if she knew just how dangerous I could be once I shifted."Werewolves and shewolves," Lady Calloway spoke through the loud microphone that carried her voice round the entire auditorium.
