CHAPTER 1: The Offering

Tears fell down my cheeks as I trembled on my spot.

“P-please… no! help!” One of the girls with me screamed as she struggled in front of the pole where she was tied alone. 

I could only watch her, my knees trembling as the cold metal of the pole behind me seeped into my skin. Like her, I was tied tightly, ready to be offered.

The entire place was lit with orange-yellow lights from the torches that surrounded us. In the middle was the huge statue of the very first Lycan King that ruled over Vamos.

Its stony eyes looked down on us, condescending our weak existence.

I could still feel the blood trickling down the side of my face from the slap I got. I struggled from the guard that took me earlier, and he slapped me so hard that my head turned and slammed on the wall; the side of my head getting sliced by its rough texture.

Despite feeling dizzy and my vision blurring, I couldn’t stop feeling the swirling in my stomach. The magnetic pull I had started feeling since they delivered us in this place never ceased, and it only intensified once they tied us here, in the kingdom’s town square.

For five years, I had become accustomed to pain due to all the beatings and abuse we’ve gotten in the House. 

After kidnapping us, they took us as slaves in the black market, serving bastards and jackasses that didn’t care about anything nor anyone but themselves.

But this level of pain and discomfort I was feeling, knowing who’s hands we were going to be in for the next days of our lives, was making me want to throw up. 

I wanted to run away. 

Attempting to get away, I pulled my hand from the pole behind me. Yet it did nothing but only tire me even more, my strength slowly seeping away from me.

“No… t-this can’t be.” I mumbled to myself as cold sweats broke in my body. "They k-killed Dad, I can’t let them get me.”

A lycan man was the one who killed my father. And from that day on, the stories I've only feared as a kid, became a fear that I knew would last no matter my age. 

My entire body was shaking, my hands tied so tightly I couldn’t feel them anymore. My tears falling non-stop on my cheeks, and my wounds burned from the sweat that trickled on them. But I can’t just surrender. I can’t let them win. 

But could I save myself from this?

Weakly, I turned my head to the night sky, looking at the moon that shone so bright in the middle of the stars. It looked like it was also looking at us, a witness to what misery we were facing.

“P-Please help me. H-help us,” I bit my lip as it shook in desperation. My head hung low on my shoulder as my strength completely left me.

I feel like I blacked out for a while, because when I woke up, intensified screams were all I heard. 

I opened my eyes and saw tall men with bright, almost glowing eyes, looking at us as if we were food they were about to devour. 

Werewolves naturally have distinct features that humans didn’t have. But Lycans were different. They had bigger physiques, more vibrant hairs, and eyes that appeared brighter as if it held greater power than normal werewolves. 

I’ve seen beautiful wolves, but there was something captivating about the Lycans. They’re ethereal. 

But right now, I couldn't seem to grasp the appreciation I developed of their physique. They were devils in my sight. 

Tall and structured male lycans had finally come and started picking their female offerings, their fangs almost peering out of their mouths.

I thought I was too weak to even react, but my body immediately trembled at the sight. 

There were only a handful of female lycans in the community, and to preserve their genetically more powerful kind, they had to produce pups from other werewolves. And this ceremony was their solution to that century-long problem. The Offering. 

This was made by the first Lycan king, Vamos, who thought it best for his kind to never go extinct and continued ruling. And true enough, they didn’t go extinct and they still to this day rule, but the way they survived was of savagery. They took so many things just so they could thrive.

They were at the top of our hierarchy, and no one can stop them because of their natural power and strength, far more superior than normal werewolves.

So when a man came to me and started holding my cheek, all I could do was flinch. 

“D-don’t touch me—“ I gasped when he flicked a finger on my cheek, the movement reverberating towards the wounds I have on my head. I closed my eyes when it made me dizzy.

“You’re lucky enough you’re one of the choices. Stop acting like we’re the abomination,” the man said with a snigger.

I moaned when he once again took my cheek in his fingers. His grip was hard as he watched the blood cascading on the side of my cheek. 

“You bloody, dirty b*tch.” My tears fell down at the pain and fear that was overwhelming me. “But I think you’re going to be good enough.”

His bright brown eyes raked my body from my chest to my shaking knees. He suddenly stepped closer to me, his lips on the side of my cheek as he whispered, “I’m gonna make you feel so good, baby. You’ll realize how lucky you are to be part of the offering.”

A sob escaped my lips when he started laughing and caressing my waist and stomach. 

‘Was this it? Was this going to be the end for me?’ I thought as I looked at the moon again, my heart aching at the events of my life.

Screams and pleas for help were all that I could hear. Sadness, pain and most especially fear filled the air as the ceremony continued on. And I saw in the corner of my eyes that there were some people just standing and looking at us, despite our cries for help.

It made me sob harder.

But all of a sudden, the crowd started silencing. It wasn’t an abrupt stillness, but the eerie quietness that started spreading left something chilly in the atmosphere, that even the man who had started smelling my neck stopped and looked at what was happening.

With just a look, all that magnetic pull and swirling in my stomach came back. My breath caught in my throat, as a foreign feeling assaulted me at the sight of the man who was in the middle of the chaos.

He stood there like he owned the place. So tall. So confident. And under a mass of dark raven hair, were eyes as bright and majestic as gold. 

For a moment, those mesmerizing eyes became silver, a sheen of silver light passing through his golden orbs, and at the same time, I felt something whoosh inside as I also felt like something passed through my eyes.

And at that very moment, for the first time, my wolf spoke in her soft voice, “Mate.”

“King Titus, Your Majesty.”

My attention snapped back when the man who was holding me suddenly spoke. People nearby started backing away and bowing their heads at the presence of the man. He also bowed his head low at the man whom my wolf just called mate. 

My eyes widened.

He's the Lycan king?

    Growing up, stories about the Lycans were all I heard when parents wanted to scare their children to obedience.They said they were horrible, huge creatures that resemble wolves. That one could see the evilness from their bright eyes that could assault anyone that would stare at them. Some even claimed they could manipulate people.They were bigger, faster and quicker than anyone. And they used that power to dominate lands and conquer territories that weren’t theirs. People called them savages, some even proclaimed them as the devils in wolf form. That they were just another form of Rogues that found their own organization and leader. So when I woke up in a room that was dimly lit, I immediately thought of the worst.I gasped and sat up on the bed, realizing I was not wearing the same clothes I had worn the last time. I was in a silky white night gown that went down to my knees and elbows. I also had patches from the wounds I knew I had from the last beating I got from the House. I

    I was tagged as the ‘Remain’ of the girls from the Offering. “As the Remain, you will be assigned anywhere assistance is necessary.” Miranda Grey, the Head Matron of the services in the Vamos pack, told me as I stood alone inside her office inside one of the few mansions I’ve seen in the territory. Hearing so many terrifying stories about the lycans, I thought there was nothing as savage and as disorganized as their territory was. But I don’t know whether I just had prejudices, or I was dumb down by my hatred to their kind—when I should have taken into account how they are the reigning pack, and someone who reigns an entire community should have an organized and wealthy land—when I saw how civilized, huge and wealthy their pack territory was. It looked like an entire rich city. “But for now, since all the Offered have taken on tasks of their own, and we have sufficient servers, I will assign you to the Office Building.” Just like her surname, Miranda had these gray almost whit

    People looked at me as I walked inside the Office Building where I was assigned.Two days had passed since the Offering and people in the Vamos pack were still adjusting to our presence. Well, MY presence. The Remain.Apparently, it was true that for years since the tradition of the Offering was made, this was the first time in a couple of decades that someone was not picked to be taken.So, those girls may have been right to say that, but still wrong at the same time. I wasn’t the very first one! I was just the first one after many years of not having a Remain.Insecure brats. They didn’t even realize it was more pitiful to be taken by someone like an object like that than to be left alone like me.‘We found our mate. That’s why we weren’t taken.’ Lia, my wolf, suddenly intruded my train of thoughts.I frowned, hating how she has the power to do that. Also hating the fact that I was also somehow considering the reason she was saying to be the cause of this—not that I wanted to be pic

    “You b*tch!”I groaned before landing on the floor. I held my cheek, the sting and pain from the punch echoing around my skull.“I almost died!” The Warrior bastard screamed at my face, his brown eyes so bright with anger. I could almost even see his wolf surfacing.“N-not my fault… you’re stupid…” I said, satisfaction in my voice despite the electrifying pain in my bones from his punches.Still on the floor, he kicked me on the stomach. I groaned and clenched my fists on the ground. I couldn’t fight physically against him. Not when I knew I was going to lose. So I just stayed curled up there, trying to protect vital parts of my body, and fighting him with words.They had training with firearms this afternoon, and since I was the one who assembled his weapon, his gun ricocheted towards him, almost hitting him on the side of his stomach. To be fair, it was a silver bullet, and one wound from that could be critical. But still, it was his fault for letting me assemble his weapon wh

    “Rina?”I slowly opened my eyes, squinting immediately when bright light assaulted my vision.“Hey, what happened?” I focused on the person sitting beside my lying form, and realized it was Maddie. “I got smacked,” I said, my voice hoarse. Maddie didn’t appreciate my nonchalance when she frowned.“You have two broken ribs and a sprain in your ankle. How could you be so casual about this?”“I’ve had worse days. You know that,” I just said and looked towards the side, curious where I was.“You’re in the pack’s clinic,” she said, as if reading my mind. I sighed and lied properly on the bed, remembering only half of the happenings before I got here.I remember getting so dizzy as Sebastian continued trying to make small talks with me. Then I just lost balance and blacked out.I looked at Maddie and saw she was looking outside the window, looking like she was in a deep thought.“What time is it?”Maddie turned to me. “It’s 11 AM already.”I immediately started standing up. “Hey, hey.

    “The king is in the lounge area, maybe we can see him.”I looked at the two werewolf females that were with me in the kitchen. They were both trying to fix their clothes and hair as they watched themselves in the mirror. “I heard Beta Sebastian is also there with him. I think I’m gonna like general meetings because of this.” One of them giggled after saying that.“What’s happening?” I silently asked Maddie who was washing dishes with me. She came here to help me, even when I told her she didn’t need to.She glanced at the two who were still gushing over the king and his beta. “There will be a general meeting in the pack. Everyone has to gather for some important announcement. They say it’s one of the only occasions they get to see the king upclose since he didn’t like meddling with others.”Maddie closed the faucet as I took a towel to dry the clean plates. “Why?” She shrugged. “Him and the Beta didn’t really talk much with others excluding the High Council and other people they

    I stared at the full moon in the night sky, feeling all jittery for the event that was coming.“Start lining up.”I turned around, hearing the Head Matron’s voice behind me.Miranda looked at me with those gray strict eyes of her, eyeing the rose pink dress she made me wear. She also told me to tie my brunette hair in a chignon.She surveyed how I looked. A glint of satisfaction crossed her eyes.I sighed in relief. “The king does not allow people to be late in such events. Go.”I nodded at her and immediately walked out of the place.I’ve never seen a Unification before, but I’ve surely heard of it.Some say it's easy, some say it’s painful, but all of them say it feels relieving to be part of a pack. That it would feel amazing feeling your Alpha and your packmates’ presence with your wolf.I’m just not so sure I would find that same relief with my situation. “Rina!”I walked towards the vast ground of the pack territory, seeing Maddie already waving her hand at me.

I closed my eyes, feeling them burn. But when I opened them again, I saw the same thing happen to the man who seemed to have been struggling in front of me.“Your Highness—“ someone was about to come close to the king, but Sebastian interrupted.“Let him be. It’s the effect of the ritual on him.”Searing sensations started crawling all over my body, and I groaned. But before I closed my eyes to the burn, I still saw how Sebastian’s eyes went back and forth to me and the king, as if he knew something nobody else knew.“Ahhh,” I moaned wh

    It took months before Vamos was able to recover. The fire that had started in the storage area of the pack had gotten so big it ruined half of the woods behind it. It went to the villages, the Office Building and the Omega House. Thankfully, the last two structures weren’t completely devoured as our other packmates quickly managed to stop the fire while the fights continued on the grounds that night. With the Command I did—which I vaguely remember doing. I thought I was just wishing it to happen—some rogues indeed snapped out of the effects of the Freedom. They stopped fighting and realized what was happening. Most of them were our packmates that were bitten and have turned. Still the effect of my Command, some did fight their heads, and most ran to follow Benjamin’s scent as he tried to escape. His body was then found by the Kingsguards who went to some rounds all around the pack vicinity. He was almost at the edge of Vamos, going to the human community, but the rogues were able

    “Please! Wake up!” I screamed as tears finally fell down on my cheeks. “Titus, please! Wake up!” I cried and held his cheeks. His eyes were closed, and blood was all over his face. And I could see how battered he was. His lip was cut, his nose was shattered and his right brow was cut. But I know he’s still there. I may not hear him, nor feel his presence, but I know he’s still there.He has to be. “Sabrina, he’s been bitten too many times. He will change—“”We have a cure!” I looked up at him and immediately remembered that I left Lana and Nathan inside the clinic. “Lana and Nathan have the cure! Get to them and make them come here!”But Sebastian continued looking at me sadly. Maddie was already crying beside him as she clutched on his arm. I looked at all the others who were around us: the Councilmen, Edwin, the Kingsguards, even Miranda who remained strong and alive along with our packmates who survived.Anger boiled in my chest when all I could see were sadness and defeat in

    Chaos continued on the pack of Vamos.But my eyes were trained towards my mate. Benjamin had shifted on his dirty, black and brown wolf who was buff but smaller than Dmitri. I knew that he was in no shape to fight the Alpha King. Titus was vicious, and I saw how just like me, he was just holding back earlier. “Ahhhh!” I turned and saw the scarred lycan as he held his spear in hand, ready to attack me. I jumped in the air and kicked another rogue for traction as I flipped in the air. With my jaw prepared to get his head, my back paws kicked the spear down and closed my jaw on his shoulders, making him scream. Blood boiling, I bit harder on his shoulder even when his blood had coated my nose and chin already. But I didn’t care. I wanted him gone forever. He has always been a pawn. Many lives were wasted, ruined and lost because of him. I yelped when even with immense pain, he managed to slash my side with another spear he suddenly grabbed from the rogue who passed by. I flew back

    I walked towards the grounds where almost all the fights stopped at the emergence of the new group. For a moment, everything seemed to have frozen as my mind filled with rage for the man who ruined my life. Those pitch black eyes suddenly found mine, and a grin immediately plastered on his scarred face. “Ah, Sabrina. It’s so nice to see that you are okay.””Bastard,” I seethed. He just smirked. “I’m going to kill you.”His smirk turned into a grin as he positioned. “Try me.”I lunged at him, shifting mid-air and abandoning all thoughts of not causing permanent harm to anyone. This man deserved all the harm anyone could cause him after all the evil things he has done. I was about to bite his head off when he suddenly brought up a spear which he used to cover his face. My jaw clenched on the metal weapon, and with my grip still on it, he threw his arm out, making my body fly in the air. I landed on my paws, finding my balance. The bastard didn’t expect how quick I was when with ano

    Screams echoed all around the pack as a huge explosion shook the ground once again.I stood up and took the two bags filled with needles I managed to already put tranquilizers on and ran towards the window. My eyes widened when I saw how huge the fire had gotten in the forest. And it was now crawling towards the Omega House and the villages, where the explosion happened. “No…” I breathed out and quickly ran back down. I fought against the rogues I came across. I immediately noticed how their numbers have doubled in just a couple of minutes. I was surrounded by five or six people, but with the tranquilizers I have in hand, I managed to push down two within just a minute. ‘Sabrina!’ Someone screamed but I couldn’t look where it was as I struggled at the neck lock that I was caged in. Taking another needle from the lab gown’s side, I injected it to him and stabbed the other one who attacked me. I pushed out the liquid to his skin.But before I could attack the last one in front of

    ‘We’re almost there!’ Nate and I’s paws pounded on the ground, but a rogue suddenly appeared behind the shadows, making me stop for a while. ‘Rina!’ I backed away as Nate took on the rogue. I let him, knowing he was far stronger. And I could sense how eager and suddenly fired up Nate was. It's just like me, the compulsion we heard from our king about killing an infected wolf was making us want to do it more. The rogue went down and we quickly made our way towards the entrance of the dungeon that we could now see. Thankfully, there was still no one there that could possibly stop us. ‘Let’s run faster, before anyone gets here.’We both sped up, knowing the possibility was there. Our paws made loud noises as soon as we entered the quiet cave of the dungeon. The cave’s width and height accommodated us as we both entered the prison where Lana Wintour was.”Nathan,” Lana called as soon as she recognized Nate’s wolf. Nate didn’t say anything but I saw something flash in his eyes.I tur

    ‘Go, Maddie and I will continue helping the rescue. We can’t abandon this or everyone will be turned.’ Edwin told us. ‘Go, Rina. Only you two can stop this.’ Maddie added. ‘Let’s go.’ Nate and I started running in the opposite direction. We were now running towards the pack grounds where most of the fights were happening. Lana told me she was studying my blood samples for something else. I could only hope she was studying them for a cure. And that that cure is already available now. If it is, I don’t know yet how we are going to spread that to the infected. But first, we have to make sure we have a cure for this.’She has the cure?’ Nate asked amidst another fight we were having. We were teaming up now to make things quick. Nate is a very skilled fighter and is very strong, he could make the enemies fall down in a matter of a few seconds. His wolf’s jaw was so strong he could rip anyone apart. I’ll have to thank him for even being here. He’s an Alpha in a different pack. And yet,

    Being bigger and heavier than her, I immediately locked her on the ground. She barked at my face, and I was once again surprised at how strong they were. I was fighting a half turned young wolf. She’s a teenager, and yet she’s almost as strong as the trained Warriors I have fought. I could see that they are unlike the rogues I have encountered before. They were not mindless. They know what they’re doing, but their minds are twisted with the Freedom’s ideology. And the dark protruding veins around their body wasn’t as huge. They were smaller now, but they crawled at a wider scope like webs in their body.“We will defeat you! This kingdom is ours—“I cut off her screams and bit off her neck when she tried getting away. I heard a crack and pulled back, just leaving her unconscious as I processed everything that was happening. They indeed have perfected the Freedom. The turned wolves are more coherent and mindful—but manipulated according to their liking. Benjamin has infiltrated the p

    As soon as I was able to properly stand up, the soldiers started attacking. Loud screams and groans echoed around the grounds as Titus and Sebastian moved like lightning. I barely had anyone attacking me when the rest of the Warriors came in to back us up. I didn’t know there were this many that had gotten the injection. There were basically more than fifty of them. And they were moving unexpectedly faster, their attacks stronger. I huffed when someone was able to approach me with a swing on his heavy fist. I fortunately evaded it and it landed on the nearest tree on my back which had my eyes widen.The tree bark just shattered, making the tree shake. It could have been my face.I faced the Warrior rogue and saw his pitch black, sparkling eyes. “Ahh!”I quickly moved away before he could smash my face. He was unimaginably strong for someone who’s gotten half of his body burned. This was the effect of the perfected Freedom. They are going to be as strong as trained lycans. They wi
