Chanda didn’t think she had tears left in her body to cry anymore.She had cried when Velkan stormed out of the clearing after marking her. She had cried when Mia had walked past her without even glancing her way. She had cried while Sera had rained curses on her for bringing shame to their pack.She had cried herself to sleep on the floor in the Luna’s chamber after Leia had left her.Now, she laid on the floor, hugging herself, wishing this was all a nightmare and her life will go back to normal.‘My Lady!” A young maid opened the door, looked in and rushed when she saw Chanda, laying on the floor. “My Lady. Are you alright? Are you hurt?” She ran her hand over Chanda’s face to see if she was alive.Chanda only whimpered and stared at her in response.“Oh, I need to get the Lycan.” The maid turned to the door.Chanda gripped her arms in fear. “No, no, no. Please. I will get up.” She hurried to her feet, eyes pleading. She looked around the room, sad to see she was still living this
Velkan stormed out of Chanda’s room into the hall way, leaving her on the floor, unconscious. He leaned against the closed door, clutching his arm to his chest, trying to calm himself. “Mate.” His wolf, Rex purred restlessly in his head, clearly eager to go back to Chanda. “She is our mate.” Velkan tugged on his hair strands in an attempt to silence the pleas of his raging wolf.“I must be losing my mind, this can’t be. How can she be our mate? Lycan Kings are cursed to not have a mate.” Velkan insisted.“I don’t know, My Alpha. All I know is that she is our mate.” Rex growled. “You almost killed our mate.”Velkan banged his head repeatedly against the door, groaning in pain. He stopped when he heard an ‘ahem’ sound beside him. Two guards stood at the end of the hall way, staring at his little display.Frustrated that he had been seen in a weak state, he backed away from the door and strode to the guards. “Get the doctor and instruct him to tend to the Luna. Now!” He yelled when
‘It’s been exactly six days’, Chanda thought as she laid on her bed and stared at the ceiling of her room. Six days since she became Velkan’s Luna. Six days since she had come so close to tasting the freedom of death at the hands of Velkan.Six days since she has been waiting in fear of his return.“Rise and shine, my Luna. It’s time!!!” A young maid came into the room, singing at the top of her voice.Chanda got to her feet. “Time for what, Mariam?”Mariam was the new maid that Leia had assigned to her. She was a young teen with a bubbly energy that always amused Chanda.“Time to show the world, the beauty that is the Goda Pack’s Luna.”“Very funny.” Chanda smiled at Mariam and sat back on her bed.“See, I told you. Your smile is really pretty.” Mariam pouted. “Maybe if the Alpha went to bed every night looking at your face, he might actually wake up in a good mood for once. Who knows? he might even fall in love.” Mariam joked.Mariam was a die-hard romantic who believed that Velkan
Chanda had imagined, so many different scenarios of what might happen when she finally saw Velkan, but she never expected getting just a cold shoulder from him. ‘He didn’t even acknowledge my presence’, she thought as she watched Velkan go down the stairs and disappear into the crowd.“Don’t pay him any attention. You are beautiful”. Leia whispered.“I don’t know what I’m supposed to be doing here.” Chanda returned. “Isn’t this a banquet for just the Alphas from the North Region? Why are there so many people?”“Dear Child, when the Lycan roars, wolves come running.” Leia stated, proudly.“What does that mean?”“Never mind.” Leia grinned. “Come with me.” She led Chanda down the stairs, and to a corner of the hall. “This spot should be good for you. Far from the crowd, right?”“Thank you.” Chanda nodded. “But it seems we are late to our own party.” Chanda looked around them. The banquet was already in full swing. “That is Velkan’s fault,” Leia complained. “He insisted on showing up la
“Walked right into that one, didn’t you?” Velkan said as he forced Chanda through the door of his chamber and pushed her to the floor. “You couldn’t wait to be in his arms again, not minding the disrespect you will bring to me?”Chanda shakily got to her knees, and bowed before him, but she remained silent.“You dare to be wrapped up in the arms of another man, for all eyes to see? Answer me!” He exploded, sending a stool flying across the room.“Please,” She begged. “Nothing happened. Nothing at all.”“Nothing?” His voice mocked her. “First, you force your way into being my Luna, then you openly flirt with your lover and you say it’s nothing.”“He is not my lover, please.” She cried and held onto the hem of his pants.“So, you are saying you don’t know Alpha Trenton? That you let a stranger put his arm around you?”Lie, I dare you, Velkan thought as he looked down at her.Refusing to believe that Chanda was his mate, Velkan had spent the past few days finding out all he could about C
Chanda placed her hands on her chest as she gazed out from her window in her chamber, admiring the fields and mountains surrounding the Goda pack. It felt just like old times to her, when she would sometimes be tied up and locked in a small dirty room as a form of punishment, for a certain number of days. But now, the room was bigger, cleaner and she was even being tended too. Just that this time around, the punishment seemed to be never ending. Velkan had kept her locked up for about two months.“He is just so hard headed and arrogant.” Leia said with disgust. “Dumb too.”A smile tugged at Chanda’s lips as she turned to Leia. “Thank you.”“For what? It was my son who put you in this room like you were some prisoner and not his Luna.”“For being here with me.”For the whole time that she had been banned from the outside world, Leia had always kept her company, daily. With the occasional visits from Mariam of course, who always had something colorful to say about Velkan.“Oh child.”
“Are you sure we won’t get caught?” Chanda tiptoed down the stairs with Mariam leading the way.“If you are quiet, we won’t.” Mariam answered. “My Luna.” she added when Chanda made a disapproving noise at her back.“I can’t believe I let you talk me into this.”“We are almost there.”“Where? It’s really dark. Can’t we light a torch or … what? what? why did you stop?” Chanda said in hushed tones when Mariam halted suddenly at the entrance to the living room.“I thought I heard something.”“We should go back. I don’t need more troubles.”“Live a little, My Luna.” Mariam peeped around the corner, before dragging Chanda across the room to open the front door. “We are free.” She ran round to the back of the house, laughing and shouting.“Why are you screaming? I thought you said to be quiet.” Chanda ran after her.“Keep up, Luna.” Mariam stopped at the back gate of the pack house. “You have got little legs.”“I do not. You are just fast.” Chanda bent to her knees and tried to catch her bre
“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
“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
"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
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
