“You’ve really lost your mind,” Cataleia clenched her jaw so hard that her face ached. “With five brothers competing for your hand, you must feel overwhelmed now that a king has joined the roster, yes?”She shook her head, her thoughts bitter. *This asshole is making me feel like a toy.*“What have I done so wrong to deserve this treatment? I killed the governor, yes, but what have I done to you? If anything, you should be indebted to me for taking my uncle’s life!”“Indebted? A king is never indebted to anyone,” Kai replied. “Come with me, and I’ll repay everything.”Suddenly, the door behind Cataleia slammed shut, leaving her alone in the room with Kai.She rushed to the door, trying to pry it open, but it wouldn’t budge. Kai approached her slowly, his golden eyes shifting into something venomous—like those of a snake. “Do you not wish to become Askavan’s Queen, Cataleia Reiss?” He drew nearer until his breath was just inches from her cheek. “Do you not wish to become the most pow

The synchronization of applause tore the silence as the infamous Auctioneer parades his subjects in an iron kennel. Two asymmetrical, buffed men pushed the cart into the flashing stage which held the Auctioneer's prized possessions. There were covered in a red satin fabric, and only their faint, delicate silhouettes could be seen as the light cast them.On one of these kennels, sheltered a woman by the name of Cataleia, a criminal from the Human Territory. Rumored to have killed her groom before her wedding, she fled the country in order to escape the authorities finding her. What was worse was that her groom was the Governor— himself.Tonight, Cataleia has sold her soul to another human, a premise she had always been against of. But due to the severity of necessities, she needed to do it. There was no other way for her to guarantee survival other than this. She was not a quitter.This... though the thought is vile to advertise yourself, she saw it none other than, as mercy. To her, t

BEFORE THE AUCTION"Cataleia, dear, you worry me."A soft touch reached her shoulder and a pair of gleaming baby blue eyes lowered down from the reflection of a mirror. A mother was brushing the thick, silver locks of her child— who was about to be married the next morning.Her warm but calloused palms stroked the glossy surface of her shoulder as she leaned to her daughter's side of the neck. She looked at her with a dreamy smile and hopeful orbs for she couldn't wait for her to pursue the royal family's title."...when Piolo comes, make sure to greet him."Cateleia remained frozen like a gargoyle as she stared at her own empty vessel in the mirror. Her face was lifeless and not a single smile was evident on her lips. Her eyes were bland as if staring at an abyss she wanted to jump at.Nothing was meaningful to her anymore.Today, she is to be wedded to the Governor as one of his many concubines. She was not at all, keen on this idea and has since been fighting against all odds to br

BORDERS OF ASKAVAN, HUMAN TERRITORY Cataleia found herself in the docks of Askavan by daylight. The soles of her feet were worn and bloody from running without footwear. Her dress was muddied and her face was blackened from hiding in the furnaces of every home she had sought refuge in. The folks of Askavan knew who Cataleia was by her dress. The nightgown was only given by the Governor to his wife or to his concubines.And everybody knew what being a concubine of the Governor feels like. So with what little they could do, they offered to hide Cataleia until she was in the borders, and from there, she is to figure out what she must do to not be caught. Tarpaulins of her bounty were posted across every bulletin board and post in the streets. Cataleia needed a shift of appearance in order to live another day.Orders had given her clothes to wear, but the girl refused to accept,justifying herself as: 'she didn't want to be caught like a coward'. Cataleia was infamous because of her fat

"Wake up."Followed by a violent shake, Cataleia thought she was experiencing an earthquake. The first thing she heard was the sound of water splashing against the shore. The rays of sunlight were harsh against her, blinding her while casting an unfamiliar shadow above.The girl could not move. Every breath she took caused her entire body to quiver in pain. She slowly opened her eyes to their fullest and discovered that the burning sensation underneath her was because of the scorching sands.The only thing keeping her from being burnt was the water splashing on her and the sea breeze, keeping her somewhat cool."Ugh..." she groaned in pain as she tried to forcibly straighten her spine to sit straight and assess where in the world have the storm taken her. In her closest inspection, she realized she was in a completely different place."I thought I couldn't make it," she mumbled while staring at the vast, deep blue sea ahead of her. Did she really survive all that?"And I thought you w

“The Auctioneer will want you.”Cataleia did not understand what any of those words meant. To her, it sounded as if she was being sold again. If she had known this was still going to be her fate, she wouldn't have bothered traveling to the Territory of the Wolves to become someone else's slave.But upon hearing the word: Auctioneer, the girl knew she had to oblige. Her uncle knew this person, more so that even entrusted the girl's future to this individual. She knew little about the Auctioneer. While in her homeland, she had heard of the nasty rumors regarding the infamous Auctioneer. They said he was wanted by the Royal Family, and has been on the run. One was for sure, the Auctioneer was a fine lad who harbored wealth for him to travel the world with his caravan.Cataleia had to trust, just this once. And she'll see where this would go for her. Escanor crossed his arms across his chest. "The Auctioneer is usually the person a 'lost' approaches.""A 'lost'?" Cataleia raised an eyeb

The werewolf’s breath against her neck was taxing. She could feel her strength leaving her body as the brothers surrounded her with their toppling physiques. The more she tried to resist, the more they held her against her will. Their almond-shaped eyes narrowly pierced through her. Her breath slowly dissipated in the cold midnight breeze. The moon rose above them brightly— the only source of light. “Ajax.” the brothers’ father said. “Give the girl some space.” The male holding Cataleia stared at her right in the eyes before loosening his grip on her waist and wrist. He coyly retreated back, then smirked mercilessly before looking at his brothers. His younger siblings immediately steps back with him, like an alpha telling his betas to back off. They lined up behind the so-called Ajax, who appeared to be the eldest of the siblings. With this information alone, Cataleia could tell that this man was going to be a pain in the arse. Him being the eldest, already meant one thing.That h

“I don't want to kill other people.”“They're no longer ‘people’, Lei.” The Auctioneer insisted. “These very people I tell you are criminals. Not even worthy to be forgiven.” “I am no different then.” The girl’s eyes narrowed in the dark path ahead of them. “Where are we going to?”“To my crib.” He replied. “You will be staying there along with other girls.”“Won't they kill me in my sleep?” she turned her head to him and frowned. “You said so yourself that these people are dangerous.”“The girls you will be roommates with are well-behaved.” The Auctioneer said.“Are they werewolves too?”The Auctioneer sighed at Lei’s bombardment of questions. “No. But they aren't humans either. Don’t be surprised by their personalities.”The girl nodded meekly and followed behind him. She slipped her hands into the pockets of her jacket. In her mind, she felt hopeless. This time, her life as a vagrant truly begins. She will have to raise a blade at anyone just to ensure her own quality of life. ‘

“A war?! Seriously?!”Ajax continued walking in the halls while Cataleia’s small figure tailed after him. She nearly sprinted to match his big paces. “Ajax, wait!”Cataleia grabbed the alpha’s wrist, and he quickly stopped. She was startled initially, not expecting her gesture to halt him. She had thought he would have shrugged her hand away as soon as their skin touched.“A warning, woman. You ought not to touch me so suddenly, especially when we’re alone.”Fumbling, she quickly releases her light grip on his wrist.“I’m sorry, it’s just that— you’re walking so fast. I can’t keep up.”“The matter with war has nothing to do with you. I will make my own decisions as the Lycan King.”“You have to think this through,” she implored him. “Many innocent humans will die if you wage war.”“So, you admit the Lycans will win?”“I do not admit it,” she replied with furrowed brows, disagreeing. “I simply say that many will die for a bad cause.”“You call it a bad cause because you think you won’

"Ugh. What foul stench."King Kai, the ruler of humans, covered his nose with his gloved hands as his carriage passed by the streets of the Black City. The weres scowled with their bare fangs as they noticed the insignia of Askavan on the carriages."Don't make such statements," his retainer reminded him. "The weres can hear you.""I intend for them to hear," Kai shrugged. "Such a gloomy greeting. Where is their Alpha?""He is already there." Kai's eyes wandered into the entrance of the Nyth Manor— a huge fortress made of obsidian and basalt which glowed only in the moonlight. The fortress rose high into the sky like a castle."This architecture is splendid," his retainer comments out of awe. "It is much bigger than your manor before you moved into the palace, Your Majesty""The Palace is much more beautiful than this unthought structure," Kai replied out of spite."Well, let us not keep the Alpha waiting."They descended the vehicle. Kai looked at the front of the gates where Ajax's
Divided Amongst the Alpha Brothers A Letter of Darkness
Today was the day that the Nyth brothers parted ways to reign their assigned areas in the Wolf Territories. Gaining their special packs of their own, they are to rule a specific area on behalf of their father. As the title of Alphas was given to them in a final moon ceremony attended by the people of the Midnight Legion, they assumed reign over their subjects.Six carriages were prepared in the gates while the townweres peeked over the commotion. Today was the day the Nyths let go of their vices and grandeur for the betterment of the Wolf Territory.Of course, there will still be rebellious rogues that may try to attack each of their packs; and they must be prepared for it.What’s important is that the Midnight Legion rules the entirety of the Wolf Territory— consuming even more rebellious rogues as they expand to the ends of the continent. “So this is it,” Arthur frowned while staring at the home he had lived for twenty-four years. “We finally leave home.”“I thought mom was joking
Divided Amongst the Alpha Brothers A Sudden Confession
Five alphas, one possession. This was the concept that doomed the mind of Lei as she dashed into the halls of the Nyth Manor, leaving the brothers behind. Tears streamed down her eyes, realizing that instead of freedom, she had only enslaved herself even more. The dream of going home… it has been almost five years since she had ever seen her family. She didn’t even know whether they were still alive. Or if they cared if she went home.Cataleia found herself outside, finally. She rushed into the streams and crossed the boulders until she was not out of reach by the palace. She felt like the vicinity itself was choking her.She grabbed a handful of her hair and walked in circles, frustrated.“They were only resisting themselves because their father was there to apprehend them if they did something to me,” she told herself. “Fuck… what did I get myself into?!”Lei spent her night in the stream, all afternoon until it was dusk. And she had no choice but to go back home.At least, at du

The Midnight City was eerily silent.Only the slow, loud sound of the bells could be heard. The streets were barren, and only a few stores were open. Every single Were was in their homes, holding candles as they gazed at the empty streets through their windows. “The Alpha is dead. “ A gruelling thought.What would become of them now that their Alpha has left them? Lord Aron was the best leader they could ever have. Alphas are immortal in nature. However when injured severely— their lives could deplete in an instant with no chance of regeneration. In the back of their minds, they thought: ‘Who was clever enough to have slain the Alpha?’Meanwhile, in the manor of the Nyth brothers, the maids welcomed a lawyer to the living room. Cataleia and the five brothers sat in the room. She still couldn’t forget what Ajax had told her the last time. Today was the day Lord Aron’s will would be read to them. The lawyer brought a scroll containing Aron’s neat handwriting and his promises to hi

YEARS LATER “Lei? When do you think will Father come home?”Axel, now the age of sixteen, asked Cataleia while they were in the stage to get his certificate of complete education. Axel had just graduated from schooling and had gotten his diploma. Since the entire family was busy for a reason, Lei served as the boy’s guardian to receive his awards.Seeing the illustrious Axel Nyth walk in the isle, his schoolmates gave him a round of applause— yet their cheers never pierced the boy’s anxiety.“I’m not sure when Axel.” Lei told him. “But we need to hope that he’d come sooner.” “I know.” Axel nodded.When they returned to their tables at the event, she inspected the boy with a caring smile— like that of a mother. Axel had grown so much over the past years. Now the boy who was once the size of her— was now the size of his brothers. His voice had gotten deeper, yet his choice of words still remained a child’s. Axel will always be the baby boy they adore. “Why are you looking at me like

Upon returning back to the Black City, their carriage earned the silence of the streets when they passed. They arrived at noon, and the bustling environment was frozen upon their dreadful aura. As the Weres stood over to the sides to give them a path, the others paused their business to pay a welcoming homage to their governs. “It’s quiet,” Cataleia spoke as they eyed the people in the streets who couldn’t even bear to look at them. “What’s wrong with them?”“Leave them be.” Lord Aron told her with a smile, his wrinkles appearing on his retired face. “They’ve always been like this.”“Ever since when you were the one ruling?” “Well, not entirely.” He replied and then smiled at the people outside. “Though I suppose I may have cruel times to myself that earn this silence whenever I come home, it had become frequent lately when I announced Ajax’s upraising to the seat of Alpha.” ‘Ah, so it was Ajax.’ The girl thought in her mind. “ “How soon is it? Ajax’s ascension?”“Perhaps a few ye
Divided Amongst the Alpha Brothers Ajax's Proposal
Cataleia was stunned at the Alpha’s words.As she stared deeply into his devilishly red hues, she found the flames that raged within. For some reason, as she gazed endlessly to find the intention in his eyes— she unexpectedly felt her heart beating so fast she almost wanted to vomit.That striking sensation— that tightening pressure in her abdomen grew more as the Alpha’s finger slowly tucked a strand of fallen hair behind her ear. Her lips were agape, and she couldn’t blink a bit.Cataleia quickly grabbed his wrist to stop him from going any further. Her mind was flooding with thoughts that she almost deemed inappropriate. What kind of human girl would fantasize a wolf?“Stop.” She cried between huffed breaths. She was breathing heavily. So heavily- she didn’t understand as to why either. “If this is another one of your jokes, Ajax— I do not like it.”“Was I ever the type to make jokes?” he lowered his hand into the pockets of his draping coat whilst answering in that same deep, dark
