“Nothing like a good night out in the Goda village to lift your spirits.” Mariam skipped happily while Boris lead them up the road leading to the pack house.“Looks like we might have stayed out too long.” Boris said, looking up to the dull sky. “It’s almost daylight.” “The back gate will be unlocked by now. We could sneak in through there.” Mariam shrugged. “No one will see us there.”“I still don’t understand why the Lycan doesn’t put guards at the back of the estate during late and early times of the day. What if our enemies enter the house from there?” Boris asked.“They couldn’t. He has guards protecting the house itself. No one could pass the wolves guarding the back entrance to the house on the inside.” Mariam explained. “Unless, they are like us and know their way around, uh? She winked at him.“That true...” A grin tugged on his lips, but he frowned immediately, scratching his head. “Why do we need to sneak in though? We are allowed to go out.”Mariam smacked him on the bac
It hurts. Every part of his body hurts. Velkan moaned in pain, as he struggled to lift his heavy body up, so he could sit against the board of the bed. His vision was blurry and his throat was dry and burning. He tried to pry his eye lids open, so he can look around where he laid. What happened?He ran his hand down the left side of his body which was covered, poorly, in bandage and the smell of burning leaves filled the air, choking him. He glanced to his right side and saw a female figure, sleeping on a chair at the far end of the room.“Urgh.” He groaned as he stretched his heavy arm over to his bedside table and knocked a teapot to the ground to get the female’s attention.The woman sprang up immediately. “Lycan, you are awake.” She exclaimed and rushed to him. “You are not supposed to sit up. Your wound is still fresh.”“Who are you?” He croaked out. “Where am I?”“You are in your chambers, My Lycan.” The woman took out a warm cloth that had been soaking in a bowl filled with
"Velkan, you should sit please.” Chanda stuttered, trying to appease to him. “You must be in pain.”“Shut it!” Velkan snapped. “Just shut it.” He moved closer. “You think you are smart?”“What is wrong?” Chanda moved a step back.“Think you can fool me?” He reached out and grabbed her neck, lifting her an inch above the ground.Chanda held on to his wrapped hands on her neck. “Please Velkan. I… I… I can’t … can’t breathe.”Velkan stared into her bulging eyes for a moment before letting go. Chanda’s dress got caught on the top of a candle stand on the floor and ripped into two parts up to her waist, exposing her legs as she fell to the ground.Rex, his wolf purred wistfully and it annoyed Velkan. It was as if he only came alive at the sight if the one, he claimed to be their mate.“You left your chambers without permission.” He ignored the purring wolf.“I had to leave to help you.” Chanda said slowly. “You were in pain.”“Lies. Lies.” Velkan erupted in anger. More lies from her. “You
“Prayers to the moon goddess.” Mariam who had been watching from afar rushed to Chanda’s side. “What has that monster done to you?” Mariam looked horrified. “Please Luna, get up. Everyone is looking at you.”The little crowd had increased as more people came around to look at the disgraced Luna. Chanda could hear the murmurs coming from them, but she didn’t really care right now.What had happened in that room? Chanda wondered as she lay on the sand, supported by Mariam hands, almost naked with her torn dress. Her mind had not really registered on the fact that Velkan just sent her to live as a servant, because she was still stuck on what had happened between them.She remembered she had felt when he had touched her, sucked her. She had never that way before, it had been as if her body had floating away. But the strangest part was that she had wanted it. She didn’t know what it was but she had wanted Velkan to do whatever he wanted to her, in that moment.Before he had gone crazy.He
“Lupe was just being mean.” Chanda whined as she and Aiden took an evening stroll. He had caught up with her while she had been on her way to the servant’s kitchen.“I did warn you to stay out of trouble.” Aiden laughed loudly.“I was minding my business, but then she rudely suggested that since Mariam was so protective of me, the least I could do was lend her some of my Luna clothes so she won’t look like a freak.”“And what did you tell her?” Aiden asked with an amused look on his face.“That I thought she was being silly. Mariam looks normal and doesn’t need fancy clothes.”“That’s easy for you to say because you don’t need it.” Aiden stopped, turned and smiled at her. “You always look beautiful, no matter what you wear.”Chanda felt her heart flutter as she stared into his eyes. There was something about his smile, that always made her feel safe. Like she was the only woman he sees. I could fall for him, Chanda thought, if I just allowed myself to.“Uhmm, Thanks.” She blushed and
The loud knock on her little room’s creaking door was the last thing Chanda expected to hear so early in the morning. She got up from her bed and wobbled over to open it.Lupe stood, already dressed up, looking very annoyed.“Morning, Lupe.” Chanda rubbed on her eyes and looked up to the sky. It was still pitch black. “Is there a problem?”“You are to get dressed this instant.” She said coldly. “The Lycan has ordered for you to be in charge of cleaning the pack house from now on. You are to tend to all the wings in the house, the living room and the kitchen.”“What?” Chanda’s mouth opened in shock.“You heard me, Omega. Now, move. Don’t bother to shower. You can do that later. The Lycan wants you finished before the break of dawn as he doesn’t wish to see you in the house when he returns from his morning run.” She said, before turning away.“Why? Just why?” Mariam, who had been awoken by the noise, sat up on her bed, scowling.“Oh, good morning. You heard that?” Chanda shut the door an
PRESENT DAYTHE MORNING OF CHANDA’S DEATH.“Oowhoooo.” Velkan howled when he reached the front steps of the house, before changing back into his human form. He had needed to let his wolf run wild, to maybe relieve himself of all this built-up energy he had developed because of Chanda.The morning sun was just coming out and he craved a bath. He walked up to his room, opened the door and was hit by the most pleasant smell.“She was here.” He breathed in the warm scent. The thought of Chanda being in his room, close to his bed made his stomach tighten and his cock twitch. Maybe it wasn’t such a good idea to have her clean his chambers, because there is no way he would be able to concentrate on anything with her scent everywhere.Or was it?Velkan got into the bathroom, wondering if he could use Chanda being so close to his advantage. She had never resisted him when he touched her, and right now he didn’t see why he had to deny himself and his wolf, the pleasure of having her. He could
It felt like I had been falling forever, until I stopped, when my body hit the cold ground, hard. Aiden betrayed me. The one I thought I could love, broke me and left me to die because of a monster. An evil Lycan. But it’s all over now. I will finally have my wolf and be able to roam free in the afterlife under the guidance of the moon goddess. Free from all the pain.That’s all I have ever wanted. To be free. I’m dead. This is what death feels like. Then why do I feel even more pain and hurt than I have ever felt before?Chanda opened her eyes, her body flat on the ground and stared into the dark empty space. She had woken up in this dark void after her soul left her body.After Aiden had pushed her off.She felt light and airy, so she knew she wasn’t alive anymore, but she couldn’t understand why she was still in her human form.She was dead. She was supposed to be a wolf in afterlife.She had assumed when she died, she would ascend into the moon goddess abode and finally rest.
“My shoulder feels like it’s about to fall off.” Chanda whined as Fang, assisted by a guard, laid her down on a sleeping bag. “It hurts badly.”“Of course, it hurts, you dummy.” Fang lashed at her.“I would go get the doctor.” The guard walked out.“Tell me, Serafina.” Fang started pacing the room. “Was that stunt you pulled part of the plan or have you gone completely nuts?”“Stop yelling at me.” Chanda groaned. “I am in pain and you are making it worse.”“You haven’t seen pain. Thank the goddess, the Lycan didn’t sink that sword deep into your neck.”“Leave me be.” She pleaded. His voice was causing her a headache. “Go away if you won’t help me.”“The doctor is coming.” He said. “But really, how could you do that? Just because you have won a few battles in the training against some of the weak warriors doesn’t mean-”“I have won against you too.” Chanda murmured.“Doesn’t mean,” Fang continued, ignoring her jab. “That you can go challenging the Lycan to a one-on-one match. He could
“Velkan, wait.”Velkan turned back to see his mother, Mia and Sera running after him.“Slow down, Son.” Leia called out to him, but he just fastened his pace. He badly needed a drink to cool his anger. He barged into the house and headed for the bar, taking out a bottle of whiskey, but Mia was fast and she took it from him.“Let me pour you a glass, Alpha.” She smiled. Velkan just nodded and moved aside.“Son, are you okay?” His mother finally appeared beside him.“My lord.” Mia offered him the glass. He downed in a gulp. “Another.” He said, handing the cup to Mia.“No. You shouldn’t drink that much.” Leia took the glass from him. “Come, sit.” She led him to a chair. “Talk to me. Are you okay?”“How would he be?” Sera erupted in anger. “Can you imagine the nerve of that… that female? Daring to challenge her Luna to be, my daughter in front the pack like that?”“Mother.” Mia warned.“It is absurd.” Sera snapped. “Who knows what would have happened if the Lycan hadn’t defended your hon
Chanda stood in the middle of the ring, stalking his every step as Velkan climbed into the ring.“You want to battle the Luna?” Velkan’s voice echoed around them.“Yes, Lycan.” Chanda responded, determined to hold he ground. He wasn’t going intimidate her now. Not when she was so close getting payback. “This competition is meant for we the slaves to show loyalty to Goda. Surely you would except such loyalty from your bride?”“She isn’t as trained as you are.” Velkan stood so close to her. “Would it be a fair fight?”“One would think after your marriage to the late Chanda,” She challenged him. “You would want a brave luna by your side this time around.”Chanda couldn’t explain it, but she could swear his eyes darkened as she mentioned that name. Did he still hate her that much? “Fine.” Velkan whispered and stepped back. “Since this is about proving loyalty and showing bravery, then I will grant your choice of a change of opponent.”Yes. Chanda glanced over to where Mia sat. Payback ti
The adrenaline was high in the camp and around the pack was on the high, as everyone went about in preparation for the events of the day.Chanda too was busy getting ready for her… plan.She was hurdled at the back of the camp, carefully applying the poison she had made on every inch of her sword’s blade. She had waited till the morning of the competition to make it, so as to prevent anyone from accidently using it. That would have been disastrous, since she didn’t bother with making an antidote to the poison.There was no need. Her plan was simple.Most Alphas in the West region train their female children to have simple fighting skills, and Mia had not been exempted from said training. So, Chanda was going to challenge Mia to a duel, and all she had to do was make sure to cut Mia with the blade, ensuring the poison mixes with her blood.Then she would feign defeat and simply wait back for the announcement of the sudden death of the new Luna to be.“I wonder if Velkan would get backl
After spending most of the past few days, listening to talks about how Mia was the perfect Luna for Goda, Chanda was filled with overwhelming anger and burning desire to hurt something. Anything.And only available victim was the poor punching bag she was currently pummeling.“Evil! Evil! Evil.” Chanda repeated while throwing jabs at the bag. “Evil!”“It’s just a punching bag, Serafina.” Mariam sighed from under the tree shade where she was lounging, idly flipping through the pages of a book. “How evil could it possibly be?”“I am just so… Arggh!” Chanda screamed at the top of her lungs.“I can see that. But it’s not just you.” Mariam closed the book and sat upright. “Ever since that witch and her mother moved into the pack, I have felt the urge to squeeze the life out of everything.”Assuming the witch to be Mia, the cause of her despair, Chanda turned her attention fully to Mariam.“Witch, you say?”“She couldn’t even wait for the official announcement of her engagement to the Lyca
“I have only been here for a few days, but I think I am already in love with Goda.” Mia chuckled.“Hmm.” Velkan answered absently, as they strolled around the pack.His mother had insisted he ask Mia to accompany on his daily morning walks. She claimed it will help the pack members get used to seeing her in the pack with him, since he was yet to make an official announcement of their engagement.He thought it was her sneaky ploy to make him spend some alone time with Mia. Mia as always had been delighted to tag along.“The air here is just different. The scenery is breathtaking.” Mia continued her praises on his pack. “The people are friendly and hardworking. You must take great pride in leading them and I am deeply honored to become their Luna. Thank you for accepting me.”“You are welcome.” Velkan responded, pleased with her manner. He didn’t really mind being around Mia. She was pleasant and always said the right things, as if she was born to be a Luna. She was also beautiful.She
Chanda sat on a tree stump, legs crossed watching Fang train and trying so hard to find answers to the question she had plagued herself with all through the night.What kind of wicked game was the moon goddess playing with her?Wasn’t she supposed to find Mia and awaken the Moon powers, so they can defeat Velkan together?Wasn’t that the reason she was brought back to life?Then…“Why? why? Why?” Chanda yelled to the sky.“Okay, that enough.” Fang sat beside her. “I have had it with you. What is going on?”“Everything is wrong.” Chanda cried, burying her face in her hands. “It’s all wrong. I can’t do this anymore. I just can’t.”“Is this about our plan to escape? We haven’t even gotten our positions among the selected warriors yet. There is no need for tears.” Fang rubbed on her back to comfort her. “You are doing very well already. Just work hard to get the spot and I believe we would get out of here together, Serafina.” He lifted her face up to look at him. “So, stop whining already
Velkan hadn’t slept a wink throughout the night. He had been tossing and turning in his bed, as his thoughts had continuously drifted between how much he missed Chanda, Aiden’s last words and surprisingly enough, Serafina.He couldn’t understand what was so intriguing about a mere female rogue wolf, that he felt so drawn to her. Or was he just attracted to the lowest kind of females, like Chanda?He has a beautiful Alpha’s daughter, a true royal blood, throwing herself at him and he had rejected her without a thought, under the pretense of respecting Chanda’s name. But he was almost certain, if Serafina was the one being offered to him, he would not have said no so easily, no matter how much he missed Chanda.That was what bothered him the most.“F***!” Velkan cursed, sitting up on his bed. Even though his room was pitch black, he could tell it was morning as the alarm had been blaring a few minutes ago. The maids should come in any minute now, to prepare his bath and set out his clo
We can’t go in?” Chanda asked with a puzzled look on her face Her excitement was cut short upon getting to the guest house, when Snow instructed them to stop at the front of the gates.“No, you can’t. You two will guard the house from the outside while they,” Snow pointed to the other warriors standing beside him. “Will stand guard from inside the compound.”“But-.”“We can’t afford taking any unnecessary risks now,” He eyed Fang. “Can we?”“But-.” Chanda repeated.“Don’t argue with me on this, Serafina.” Snow shut her down firmly. “I will be on my way.” Snow nodded to them and walked away. The two other guards walked into the compound and shut the door, leaving behind a stunned Chanda and an annoyed Fang outside.Thirty minutes later, and Chanda was still complaining, much to the determent of Fang.“Will you please stop whining?” He groaned.“No!” Chanda slid to the floor. “This is not fair!” She banged on the gates, loudly.“Why do you even want to go in so badly?” He eyed her. “Ar
