Chapter 20

Dinner was quiet. And it would have been fine if it was just quiet but tension shook the air. Astrea refused to say a word, very not like her. Probably because she was aware of the situation between I and Lycan Cyril, and she didn't support my action.

“Excuse me.’’ I stood. I avoided Lycan Cyril’s direction the whole time, but somehow my gaze swatted at him. A sharp pain knotted my chest to see that he barely even spared a glance.

“You're done?’’ Astrea asked. I managed a nod and pushed my way out.

Why did it hurt so much? I'd been the one ignoring him after all and I should be happy he was now returning the energy.

I didn't go to my suite. I couldn't go there. Not with my head in a spin and my system reacting against my wish.

I strolled down to the cellar, grabbed myself a

bottle of wine to drown my feelings. I gulped down the first content in one goal. Poured out another and just as the rim of the glass reached my lips, the door creaked open.

My heart skipped in fe

  • Fated for the Lycan   FOREARM

    Chapter 21Lycan Cyril.I darted my eyes to meet hers, seriousness and determination etched in her beautiful brown eyes. I sighed, shook my head, and returned to my almost empty glass. “I'm dead serious right now.’’ She gritted. “Don't be silly, Astrea.’’ I scoffed, downing the last content before getting on my feets. Astrea rushed to block my path before I could move, but what I didn't expect was grabbing me into a hug. Within seconds, she pulled back and slammed her lips on mine in a rigorous kiss.I gently tried to pull away, but she wasn't planning to let go. I didn't want to hurt her. Astrea was more than just a friend to me. If I hadn't grown up with the knowledge that my fated mate has been specially distinguished with a certain feature, I'd have fallen in love with her at some point in our friendship. She was beautiful, sweet, elegant, and hailed from a strong Lycan bloodline. She possessed everything that fit the position of my Queen.“Stop.’’ I caught her wrist as she tr

    Chapter 22Alessia's povMy pulse echoed against my ears, afraid of what Lycan Cyril’s response would be. I was sure I heard a gasp at the door. “What are you talking about?’’ His eyes were still as harsh as they were when he carelessly yelled aloud seconds before. He was clearly oblivious of what I was talking about. Taking quick calculated steps to the door, I leaned my ear against it but not a sound. I ignored my panicking heart and summoned some courage to pull it open, but there was not a single soul in sight. I was pretty sure I heard someone behind the door.Lycan Cyril suddenly snatched my arm, pulling me back and slamming the door shut. He locked it before facing me. “You have plans to make our connection a public knowledge now?’’ “Someone heard us, I pretty sure of it.’’ I panicked. “You can't be outside starting 8pm that night.’’ He blurted out. ‘‘What?’’ I caught his gaze.Somewhere deep in the hollow of my stomach, I appreciated his pretty caramel orbs. It wasn't j

    Chapter 23Alessia's pov “Uhh.’’ I chuckled awkwardly, cutting eye contact with her. “I just…I just feel more comfortable with less revealing clothings.’’ I proceeded with my steps, hoping to hide my anxiety from notice. I heard her scoff. “You say 'less revealing’ as if you manage a little revealing clothes at all. Look at you, all covered up down to your thighs. I mean you could wear strapless tops or even off-shoulders, it's what young Lunas put on.’’“I-I mean I could but I just don't fancy those such dresses.’’ I answered, uneasy, adjusting the V-neck line of my dress. She let out a huff. “The training ground is over there, let's go take a look.’’ We watched for quite a while, I found myself enjoying the warrior spar against each other until they suddenly stopped to acknowledge someone.“Lycan Cyril?’’ I called out in shock.“What's so shocking about it? He comes to spar with the warriors too, he also needs constant training.’’ Astrea explained beside me.Why didn't she seem

    Chapter 24Alessia's povAstrea rocked Lycan Cyril like her life depended on it. Their lips locked on each other's while they tried to catch their breaths, Lycan Cyril hands travelled all over her body. If I had arrived about three minutes later, I'd have met them in a heated sextual intercourse. I stepped back, and almost stumbled on my sandals. I grabbed a shelf immediately, causing some books to pour down. My heart plunged to the pit of my stomach, goosebumps propping all over my skin. I wished the ground would open up and swallow me when I looked up to meet their gazes.“I-im sorry I—didn't didn't mean to interrupt.’’ I struggled for breath. I dashed out quickly before any reaction came from them. Why did it hurt so much, Lycan Cyril and I were basically nothing. Of course he saw me as less if not that I happened to be his mate somehow. How could I have rated myself so much?My phone beeping interrupted my thought, I deeply appreciated the distraction. “Eliza!’’ I almost brok

    Chapter 25 Alessia's pov We walked down the passageway in silence, both of us reeling in our own worlds. ‘‘Where exactly are we heading to?’’ I broke the silence. “Uhm, I didn't give that a thought yet.’’ She sucked air from her teeth. “Have you been to the garden before?’’ ‘‘Not really.’’ “Shall we then?’’ She offered. “The garden at this time, I don't think it's safe.” I shook my head at the idea. “Alright we could just seat at the porch and take in the beautiful scents.’’ She shrugged. I said nothing more and just struded with her until we arrived at the supposed porch. This one wasn't familiar to me, I hadn't been out through the back of the mansion before. Thanks to the effectual bulbs, lights beamed adequately around here so it was possible to see the thin road amidst the field on the ground that led to the garden. It was pretty close to the porch just like Astrea had initiated. Blissful flowery scents constituted the air, it was a beautiful moment to experi

    Chapter 26Alessia's pov“Who's there?’’ My voice shook. My breath heavy, with beads of sweat pouring down my skin. I made a pawn at the door again when a monster appeared before me. About 7'2ft with a broad frame that swallowed up my shadow effortlessly, bloodshot eyes and sharp long scary claws. A lycan beast. Another jumped in from the left, and another from the right, and a pool of them before I knew it, all growling mercilessly. I peeped on myself when they all howled to the sky, the full moon…..The full moon? How could I have forgotten?“No. No, please….’’ I screamed in horror as they all came at me. Lights left my eyes as sharp claws tore through my face, leaving streams of blood down my neck. Another pricked into my ribs, my arms, sipping life out of me with every gushing wound. I slumped, catching a glimpse of bright light as my eyes popped open with the descending force. If I was in my right state of mind, I'd have admitted that it came from me. My vision blurred out

    Chapter 27Annalise's pov“Liah!’’ I snapped, sending daggers glares at her. “Get over here this minute.’’She left Adrian's side and approached me at the head of the dining table while he tried to climb a seat somewhere at the other end. I helped Liah seat and fastened her bib, ignoring the gloomy face she put out while at it. “Adrian, hold on I'll help you up.’’ Eliza yelled, approaching from the kitchen with a tray of breakfast. She quietly helped him seat and fastened his bib. Not like she usually said any casual words to me on a normal day, so I didn't expect any from her either. However….“What was that, Annalise?’’ She asked. “What are you talking about?’’ I asked back, trying my best to sound the most polite I could. “Both Liah and Adrian arrived here together, how couldn't you help him seat despite knowing how high the chair is?’’ Was she scolding me right now?‘‘I don't get it. I'm expected to help him sit as what? A maid?’’Footsteps approaching from the exit passage c

    Chapter 28Lycan Cyril “Come on in.’’ I beckoned grudgingly, settling my gaze on Lance's shoes as he approached. “It's the same for every other young man in the kingdom.’’ He reported with his head bowed.“So there was no razing at all last night? Not even one percent?’’ I asked, amused. “Not at all.’’ Lance answered. “Blessed fuck!’’ I exclaimed underneath my breath. Just what exactly could have happened last night?“Tell me all that you remember.’’ I demanded Lance. Apparently, he was the leader of the troupe who messed with Alessia last night. That constituted my nark towards him, even though I knew too well that he couldn't be blamed. ‘‘Uh..I um…I really can't remember clearly….’’“Tell me what you remember.’’ I cut him with a snap. “We lunged at her and she fell weak with all the bites. We were about to milk her blood when a strange brightness evoked from her. It literally blinded us. That is the last thing I remember before waking up back in my human form.’’ He explained.

The guards would drag me back to Thompson if they found me here. ‘‘I guess you didnt realise it?’’ The doctor squinted, scanning me intensely.His measly stare made me instantly cautious of my dress. I'd been in the same dress for about four days without a chance to sprinkle even little water on my body. Definitely, I reeked!Taking two steps backwards, I cleared my throat. ‘‘Uhm….’’“I heard she's the cause of the war. Apparently she had an affair with the lycan king and now he wants to take her from the Alpha.’’ A lady muttered into the silence, her words echoing through the walls instead of the woman's ear she leaned into. “Will you be quiet!’’ The woman whom I suggested was the lady mother after a nice look, snapped at her daughter. But her gaze on me was nothing close to remorseful or friendly. ‘‘Get me my son. I can't stay one more minute here.’’ I resolved to say, unable to keep up with the awful g

  • Fated for the Lycan   GETTING HELP

    Chapter 61Alessia's pov An eerie silence roamed the space outside after the hurrying footsteps of guards left. A guard had rushed in moments ago to call the staged guard by the door of the dungeon.It sounded really urgent; the reason he had been called out of duty. But I couldn't make out what the guard reported through the thick door, besides I felt too weak to even lift a hand. Another sharp sting of hunger plunged at the top of my stomach, leaving a squeaking yelp off my lips as I grabbed the spot in a thought squeeze. Even though I guessed it couldn't be about food, I kept praying the guard had left to get me something to eat. I might starve to death if I get nothing to eat tonight. Telling what time of the day it was seemed in fact impossible, since it always remained pitch back in here. This was pure torture. It's now obvious that Thompson wants me dead. What was I thinking, wanting to stay with him despite everything he's done to me? He had shown me countless times how

    Chapter 60CYRIL’S POV “He's crazy.’’ Lance remarked, leaving a sigh off Alan's lips.‘‘I'll give him just until two days time to come around.’’ I said calmly.“But why are you so calm about it, this is so not your type thing to do.’’ Lance complained. There must be something I was missing on. Ever since the topic with Thompson, Lance has been unusually annoyed. He swore and cussed under his breath all through the call with Thompson; we had been in a meeting when his call came in. “Do you have a beef with him before now or something?’’ Alan voiced just the exact question on the tip of my tongue. Lance scoffed. “A beef? I'll rather go hiking on the highest mountain in the city.’’“That two days waiting period, you know what it's called?’’ I let a smirk curved up on my lips. Seeing their blank faces, I went on. “Reflecting period. I doubt there's anyone who wouldn't need that. During this time, he gets to decide what plan of action might be best for him.’’ I relaxed back on my cha

I saw Regal's car drive in and he stepped out to meet my gaze.I nodded at him to come on upstairs.“Greetings, Alpha.’’ He walked in.‘‘Is there a problem?’’ I didn't care much about the coldness in my tone, not bothering to spare a glance at him.“The lycans came.’’ He blurted out.I turned immediately to face him, my anger melting away for a moment.“I think they were on a visit, but we didn't allow them entry.’’ He stated reassuringly.Was that supposed to be reassuring news?“You blocked them?’’ I asked, amused and a bit apprehensive.I understood that I asked them to do it, but I realised I wasn't cut out for reality.“We blocked the borders like you instructed and strictly prevented them from coming in. They returned home following the orders of the lycan king.’’“Their king was with then?’’ I asked again in amusement, a strong stroke crossing down my abdomen.‘‘Yes, Alpha. Is

I was starting to believe what Annalise claimed now that Emelda was refusing to take my calls.“How dare that bloody old witch!’’ I gritted, bringing the phone to my face after another unsuccessful attempt to get her on the line.A message popped up on the screen, and my heart skipped a beat when I saw Cyril’s name on top. I hated that he managed to steal a skip from my heart.I strolled down to the cellar for a drink, aware of the implications Cyril’s message could likely bring about.Settling down before the table with my index and middle fingers caging the tiny bottom of my wine glass, I tapped on my message box. I read through with a straight face, he demanded a reason for my absence at his anniversary ceremony as well as an intended visit to Silverstone pack this evening.A chuckle fell off my lips.Was he dumb? Couldn't he read the writings on the wall?Without much thought, I dialed his

    Chapter 57Alessia's pov Tears blinded my vision, I couldn't recognise the routes he took until he tugged me down the stairs to the basement. I heard him punch some codes on the only door that uses a code down here. The dungeon. “No!’’ I grabbed his hand as he pulled my face up. “No please, don't do this Thompson.’’I couldn't contain the coldness of his face. It forced me into believing he had his mind made up and indeed he did. He flung me into the darkness ignoring my pleads, and slammed the door shut before I even landed on the floor. Dust wafted into my nostrils. Smelly dusts that dug deep coughs from my throat. I staggered to my feets and rushed back to the door. “Let me out.’’ I banged, horribly terrified by the consuming darkness. I couldn't even see my own hands. “Thompson let me out of here, please!!’’ I screamed, my heart thrashing with horror at the scary silence that responded to my voice.Did he leave already? He was really leaving me in here?“Thomp….’’ I trailed

    Chapter 56Thompson's povI stopped abruptly on my track, Alessia's unmissable scent thick in the air. There was no doubt she was close by. I marched into the living room, eye-searching thoroughly for her without any success. Rolling my eyes, I proceeded into the masters bedroom and there was Annalise seated on the bed. She stood immediately upon my entrance. “Hey. Are you okay?’’ She approached me slowly. “Did you do it?’’ I had it tied on my tongue tip all night, waiting impatiently to spit it to her. The least I wanted was to hear a lie from her. She threw her gaze downwards, shaking her head in something like disbelief. “Why do y'all ask me that? I could contain it when Alessia threw it at me but you too?’’“Give me a yes or no, Annalise.’’ I snapped, totally out of mood for sick dramas. “Of course I didn't do it. You of all people should know what I'm capable of, we've lived together for four years now.’’ A tear slipped off her eye. I hated the feeling. That I could clea

Get your adulterous ass up and return with him now.’’ Thompson glared, uncared with the manner he addressed me despite Regal's presence. I lost my demeanor, fixing my shameful gaze on the tiled floor. “I-I can't…” I mumbled out. “Will you rather I teach you a goddamned lesson right here?’’ Thompson fizzled, rushing to get me.“Not here, Alpha, please.’’ Regal caught him just in time while I'd sprawled on my feets, alarmed. “Get out of this place immediately, smelly dirty thing.’’ Thompson barked. I bolted out instantly, my heart heavy against my chest with tears blinding my vision.I bumped into a few people but couldn't care less until I got to the car. I crouched down by the darker side which faced away from the lights of the hospital, weeping my heart out. “That's enough, Luna. Please.’’ Regal said for the upteemth time, running his palm gently on my back.I couldn't cont

    Chapter 54Alessia's povI helped Regal in offloading our stuff and throlled mine to my bedroom. Stepping into the bedroom, I noticed someone on the floor and immediately recognised it to be Adrian. He didn't look like he was in a good shape, the awkward position he laid sent my body hairs poking out on my skin. “Adrian?’’ I called out to him repeatedly, but he wouldn't bulge. I forced my heels down to where he laid, and all light left my vision when I saw froth flowing from his mouth. I screamed madly, my heart bursting against my chest, leaving me nauseated at the sight. “Adrian! Adrian!!’’ I shook him, and he let out a breathless gag. I swung him up in my arms, dashed out of the room and ran down the stairs like a crazy woman. No, I'd actually gone crazy!“Regal!!’’ I screamed my lungs out. “What is it?’’ Thompson yelled into the haze, rushing out to check on the situation. Regal appeared simultaneously. All I cared about right now was getting Adrian to the hospital as soon
