CHAPTER TWO

SIX MONTHS EARLIER.

The air in the clearing was filled with anticipation as werewolves-male and female, alphas and omegas, from different packs, far and beyond, - all gathered as one, chanting and screaming, eager to witness the battle of Alpha supremacy.

 The Lycan Trial, fought under the light of the full moon, promised the arrival of a new Lycan king that will continue to strengthen and protect the years’ long bond between packs of the West region.

Velkan of the Goda pack, stood at the edge of the window, awaiting the rise of the full moon to seal his fate. It wasn’t supposed to be like this, he thought, glaring down at the clearing. His dead father had been the Lycan king, loved and most importantly feared by all. His older brother was supposed to be in line for the position but he too had died on that fateful night, leaving him now , to have to fight and prove he was worthy of the position.

 “If I didn’t know better, I would have said you were nervous.” He turned to the voice. Aiden, he smirked. The only person apart from his mother that he felt he had left in the world.

“Nervous? Ha. I’m just angry I have to prove to these mutts that I am their king.” He answered. “I mean, I have the blood of Lycaon flowing through my veins.”

 “There is the cocky bastard. You know, Ryder is one of the best Gammas in the West regions. He might put up a real fight.”

Velkan laughed. “That is because of the Elder’s Clan. They so badly wanted this trial to happen. Gives them something to be excited about.”

The position of Lycan king had been passed from Alphas to their first-born sons in the Goda pack for hundreds of years. Following the death of his brother, the Lunar trial had been proposed to pick a new one but nobody had dared to contest, so, the elders had presented Ryder from the Farkas pack.

“I’m surprised they hadn’t picked the Alpha of…” The loud cry of the blow horn cut him off.

Velkan walked to the shelf in the room, picked up the gin he had left brewing and raised a toast to Aiden. “It’s time. After three strikes of Ryder’s blood, we celebrate.” He drank it and walked out with Aiden following.

****

“I haven’t seen this much wolves in one place.”

“Well, the trial doesn’t happen often.”

“Yeah, the last one was over 400 years ago.”

“I hope Ryder wins, He is strong.”

“For a warrior, yes. But Velkan is trained for this.”

Velkan smiled at the comments from the spectators, as he climbed unto the clearing and transformed into his wolf, Rex, a towering figure with silvery fur that glittered in the moon lights. Yes, he was trained for this, but he would have preferred to have his brother here, in the presence of their father and pack members, being crowned the new Lycan king.

Ryder, his opponent, a lean looking wolf, known for his fast pace and sharp claws climbed onto the clearing. “Your Highness,” Ryder lowered his head to him. “May the best wolf win.”

Without warning, Ryder lunged at Velkan, pushing him to the far end of the clearing, causing an uproar in the crowds. It’s on, Velkan thought as he struck out his front paw, claws sharp across Ryder’s face, making him bleed. Strike one. Ryder loosened his hold on him, so he pushed back against him.

The two wolves circled each other. Ryder howled and lunged but Velkan dodged to the side, leaving him with the opportunity to swipe claws on Ryder’s side drawing blood again. Strike two, this was too easy, he thought, third strike and this fight will be over. They tumbled on the floor, claws clashing when Ryder used his fangs to sink into Velkan’s side, tearing off his flesh. He pushed him off, whimpering in pain on the floor.

Ryder howled and Velkan looked into his eyes. They were red, almost blood like. Something was wrong, he thought. The trial rarely ended in death, but as Ryder circled him, he feared for his life. When Ryder lunged for his neck and sank claws deep, he could hear him clearly in his head say, “Time for you to join your dead father.”

The crowd screamed in excitement as Velkan fought for his life. He tried to fight off Ryder but felt his spirit dying. How could this be? He has been in worse positions. A scent caught his nose and he realized, Ryder has stained his claws with wolfbane and was chanting in the old tongue while choking him.

It was now or never.

He gathered sand from the ground and threw into Ryder’s eyes, causing him to fall back, losing his grip. Staggering, he lunged unto Ryder, striking him for the third time, drawing blood. He rolled off him and stood, still in pain from the wolf bane.

The crowd erupted in cheer for Velkan’s win, but Ryder, half blind screamed as if possessed and lunged for Velkan again, but he dodged, causing Ryder to go over the edge of the clearing, falling to his death.

The energetic crowd went silent, a few gasps here and there, everyone shocked at the turn of events.

 An elderly woman climbed unto the clearing, joined by two men who looked just as old as her. “Today, we have witnessed a display of power and supremacy, as is the purpose of the Lycan Trial.” said the old woman, her voice very loud.

She walked to Velkan who had changed to his human form and raised his left hand to the sky. “Under the light of the full moon, Under the blessing of the Moon Goddess,” A bowl with red substance was presented to her by one of the men by her side. She placed a finger in it and rubbed on Velkan’s forehead. “I, Hati, Elder of the West Region crown you Velkan, Lycan King.”

The silent crowd erupted, clapping and blowing horns in celebration, obviously neglecting that they had all just witnessed the death of one of their own.

 “Velkan, Oh, Velkan. I knew you could do it.” His mother, Leia, rushed to him. Velkan fell to the ground, his body reacting to the wolfbane flowing in his vein. “Velkan, Vee, Velkan, are you….” His mother’s concerned voice was the last thing he heard as he faded into the darkness.

    “Ohh, this is so exciting. My friend is going to be the new Lycan Luna. Haaaa.” Anna squealed with delight, knocking over a glass of wine. “Oops, sorry.” She murmured when Mia, the Alpha’s daughter of Montana Pack, eyed her. “Where is your maid when you need her?” Anna looked towards the door.“I haven’t been selected yet, Anna. And she went out to get my dresses.” The door creaked open. “There she is.”Chanda, Omega to the Alpha daughter, walked in trying to balance the pile of dresses on one hand and a box of jewelries on the other. “My princess, your dresses as you requested. Also, Alpha sent these jewelries for you.” She moved to drop the dresses on the bed when she slipped on the spilled liquid.Clothes and jewelries flew in different directions. Just my luck, she thought as her bottom landed on the floor and she braced for the rain of insults from the ladies, especially Anna.“Oh, pray me, you are so clumsy and blind now too, it seems.” Anna yelled.“Let her be.

    It was a long journey to the Goda pack but Chanda was in an utmost state of bliss. She stuck her head out the window of the car, letting the fresh breeze wash over her face as she admired the dusty roads and beautiful mountain tops. They drove past lakes and fields while she imagined herself running out the car, heading straight for the fields, never having to think of going back to the Montana pack.“Close that window, omega. Mia is going to catch an illness from all that dust.” Sera said, spoiling her daydream.“Yes, my lady.” She responded.The car came to a halt at the front of a checkpoint and they were approached by men dressed like guards. Sera held up a card and announced proudly, “I am Sera, Luna of The Montana pack and that’s my daughter, Mia. We are here for the Luna Ritual.”“Who’s the red haired?” He asked pointing at Chanda.“Oh, a nobody. Don’t mind her presence. She is my daughter’s personal servant.” Chanda sighed at the description, Sera sure knew how to make her fee

    The morning sun shining through the window felt like burning fire on Chanda’s face as she tried to use her hand to somehow block the headache she was waking up to. She knew she needed to get up before her Luna woke up, but the comfort of being wrapped in strong arms was a feeling she was not eager to lose.Wait? Wrapped in strong arms? Her eyes shot open and she looked beside her.She was very naked, wrapped in the arms of a very handsome but very asleep man, in a very strange but very beautiful room.No, no, no, no, this can’t be happening, she thought as questions raced through her mind. Just how much did she drink yesterday? And how did she end up here with this man? Where is Mia? Did she just loose her virginity to a stranger?She moved to get out of the man’s embrace when his eyes shot open. He instantly wrapped his hands around her neck, pinning her to the bed.“Who sent you?” His eyes were fiery red and his grip was hard on her neck.“No... no... no..one.” She choked out.“Why

Chanda always knew that might never happen for her, being a lowly omega and all. But she never in her life imagined being forced to become the Lycan Queen.She stood naked, in front of a mirror, in the room prepared for her to get ready to wed the Lycan King, staring at her reflection. Bruises were all over her back and arm from the beatings she had gotten from Sera and Velkan.“Chanda?” Mia walked in. “When do you plan on covering up? Everyone’s waiting.” She said.Chanda ran and dropped at her feet. “My Lady, please forgive me. I beg you. I still don’t understand what happened.” She pleaded.Mia stepped away from her. “It’s a really good plan I must say. I’m even surprised my mother didn’t think of it herself. You were always a clever sort.” She walked to the window, staring outside. “I remember I warned you to not make

    Chanda stood at the exit of the clearing, behind a tree, watching guests leave after the end of the ceremony. She was hoping to see Mia and speak to her, hoping she can get Mia to listen to her and maybe help her.“I believe the Luna of the Montana pack had something to do with this, I mean, why did she bring a servant here?” An older lady whispered to a younger looking lady, perhaps her daughter. They stood in front of the tree, so they didn’t see Chanda behind them.“But why would she? I heard rumors that The Lycan favored her daughter to be his luna.” The younger lady replied.“Rumors also say that Velkan is evil, see what happened even after Ryder tried to kill him? Maybe she was scared to marry her daughter to him and decided to use the maid instead, as long as her pack becomes the chosen one.”They walked away when a guard signaled to them.Chanda felt like screaming because her heart was heavy. How could people think like that? she wondered, they didn’t even let her say her si

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

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.

Yes, Velkan always made sure his wing of the pack house was heavily guarded, even from his beta, Aiden. Probably making sure nobody would discover his plans.Aiden, she thought, she needed to tell him what she had seen, but she also needed to get out now.This was her only chance.“Chanda.” A voice called her name and she jumped in fear.“Ohh, pray the gods, you scared me, Mariam.” She scolded the little servant who stood, staring at her.“Why are you peeping? are you looking for someone?” Mariam asked.“No, I am not. Return to your work station.” She scolded her.“Yes, ma.” Mariam replied and walked away. Chanda didn’t like yelling, especially at the young servants, but she didn’t need any distractions now.
