Are you sure about this?” I whisper -screamed to her and she waved me off, roughly yanking at a jammed drawers and I hurriedly shushed her when she was getting too loud.I heard the rough mumbling of the guards voice and knew deep down that it was just a matter of time before we got perceived.“Gawd we are definitely going to get caught…” I regretted.**********It turned out that Sylria was more helpful than I thought her to be. Finally placing trust in ourselves and coming to a mutual agreement, I told her about Valerie and how she was betrothed to the Alpha.“So how do I come in?” She asked, looking perplexed and I licked my dry lips knowing that I was getting to the good part.“It doesn’t sound like much, I know, but for some reason Valerie had to flee and the Alpha put a bounty on her head.”She nodded sl

I wearily kept watch at the door, peering out at the hall way.The cracks came again, this time even louder than before and I was surprised at how composed Sylria was even as we were both put on the edge.My mind racing and my palms got sweaty but I tried to keep myself calm. The girl so far hadn’t disappointed, she must know what she was doing.We’d get out of here before the guards get in! I told myself, closing my eyes and repeating the words in my head so many times that I believed it.“Got it!” She exclaimed rather loudly but I was sure that was the least of the guards worries, they were too busy working through the series of locks on the metal door I supposed.“Check for a Valerie Mo'monte!” I almost screamed it.The cracks turned to loud jams and I felt the walls vibrate from the impact of whatever brute force they were intending to use to invade and storm us out.“Found anything?” Th
THE EMERAL KINGDOMHOUSE OF SYLRIAIt was a blistering hot day, mother had just left the house to try her luck with game in the Hunting grounds. I hoped she'd return with father, he left since morning and it was unlike him to stay out for this long.Nelma sat on the rug, the three year old played with a yellow rubber duck that was beginning to turn brown at the edges over years of rough handling.I watched the small duplicate of myself, Nelma looked so much like me mother said she thought she had given birth to the same baby twice.The day was hot, too hot for me to go out in search for my parents and I definitely could not leave Nelma alone at home and worst to take her along with me under the red hot sun. The most I could do was keep her entertained with a series of funny faces and pray that our parents came back sooner. Nelma would cry her eyes out if mother did not sing her to sleep and I wasn't looking forward to that job.We were from the Lycan city though I was born and raised

A strange bleeding man says he knows you and you followed?!”She hissed. “That’s not the point! By the way we were kids, we knew nothing, we were scared as hell and then we were being told that our parents had been killed, there little we could do than to go with him even if we didn’t trust him. It’s not like he harmed us in any way.”**********We waited till we were sure the guards were convinced there was nobody in the Papa’s cabin. I could see the toll using perfect balance took on Sylria, she sat beside me leaning on the rough back of a tree and she didn’t mind resting her head on my shoulder.“I didn’t know it was stressful…”“Not stressful..!” Her voice was rasp and tired. “It could kill you!”“Whah? But Trackers—”“Trackers usually hibernate after entering the perfect balance too long, if they do as much as just stay aw
THE LYCAN CITY. LUKKAR CASTLEVALERIEMaking love with my mate could only be described as total bliss.He had me pressed to the bathroom wall, pushing his thick cock into my wet pussy and I loved the way he choked me as he slowly rocked his penis inside me.I shrieked in satisfaction, the walls of my vagina rolling and contracting around his cock as I came and the rush trembled my body and sent electric waves of pleasure that vibrated through my being. Lukkar grunted when he released, I felt the easy way his cock throbbed with each spurt and I wasn’t sure he thinking much about it as he still has his cock in me when he came.I lay on his chest while his slept. We had bathed shortly after the exhilarating sex. My mate fell asleep, holding me to him and I drew circles on the thick muscles of his chest as he slept.My mind drifted to what Reila had told me, the routine I was put through was to harm and not to train me. I had been trained by Deron’s mother who was impeding my growth with

If she was in this kingdom I would for sure find her.Cool droplets of water washed me down and I lathered my hair to remove bits of sand and dirt that may have gotten stuck in it from the time I had been in the forest. I changed into a brown button down short sleeve that was very comfortable and a pair of black pants. Shaking my head I pushed away the emotions I could feel myself start to develop for Sylria to the back of my mind, I could let any distractions impeded me from my mission.When morning came I only knew I had fell asleep because someone tapped their fingers against the side of my face. I caught her tiny wrists before she could tap my cheek again, my vision was blurry but I could clearly make out the the spongy mass of Sylria’s hair. How did she even get in here? Hadn’t I locked th
THE LYCAN CITY. CITY FAREVALERIEIt could only be described at exhilarating, terrifying and a little bit of anxiety. The coaster sped up and down its rails like a bullet and every time it descended, excitement and terrified screams of the nobles pierced through the air like lances and arrows. I squeezed my mates hand every time we descended, Lukkar’s laugh was the only reassuring thing that reminded me I wasn’t straight down to my doomMy heart raced even faster than the coaster itself and it was when my vision started to blur that I realised I was crying and laughing at the same time. My first experience on a coaster would definitely be my last!I gave up bashful prayers and thanks as the ride came to a stop. Lukkar hopped out of his side and the way he looked at my face before laughing made me sure that I was definitely not looking my best.“You look like you just went in and out of a hurricane!” He snorted and raised my hands lazily so he picked me out of my seat and held him to

Sylria was no longer am being the stand she took, I peeked from around the tent I hid but her cotton candy stand was empty.“Dammit!” I cursed under my breath. It was like someone had ordered an army troop of warriors and I was the rat they were sniffing out.“Damned Sylria, bitch took off without even batting an eyelash!” I was a fool to have thought that we were growing fund of each other. Betrayal.The warriors moved cautiously, their usual uniform attires were worn in a more informal way so they did not look too scary so they did not cause a panic among the frolicking adults.It was like they were on my scent, inspecting the places I had been and checking anyone that didn’t dress as rich as the others. It was almost like they knew I was here and were determined to arrest me.Surreptitiously I sprinted from the tent I was crouched behind jus
THE LYCAN CITY. LUKKAR CASTLE.VALERIEThe Tracker seemed to move through shadows, I had a strange feeling in my stomach and I wondered if that was because I was almost raped again or the Trackers magic just gave me a bad feeling.When we stop I'm looking down at two rows of armies, towering wolves that growled softly and foot- soldiers that wielded sharp blades. My insides twisted and I fought back the strong nausea that came over me when I saw the Alpha Emeral.He was cladded in polished armour that gleamed under the soft moonlight."You have something that belongs to me!" He bellowed. My mate wore an identical pair of armour, it was no mistakening that Amin was the giant black wolf that loomed behind him.I easily spotted Sylria, the end of her staff twinkled under the moonlight."If you mean my mate then you are mistaken!""She was given to me long before you found her, she belongs to me!"I spotted My father, hia hard gaze swept over where I watched from the dark and I jerked on

LUKKAR CASTLE.VALERIEMost occupants of the castle that were not going to battle had relocated to Rosalies’ mansion at the edge of the kingdom which was farthest away from the possible damage of the war.I watched Sylria kiss her little sister on the forehead a she waved her off with moist eyes. I hoped she would be reunited with the little cute angel, but the possibility of death was still something that frightened me. What frightened me worst was when I learnt the wolf that Hunted me was fighting at Lukkars side.I sat on my bed, Ariel was about departing with the other maids when I told her to follow me.Ariel’s eyes brightened like stars when I told her she was no longer obligated to bring me meals or clean the cabinets.“You can go home Ariel, I’ve owed your parents a lot, this is the least I could do. From today you a free woman and of course your family would still be supported by the Alpha.”But the light in her eyes dropped, she looked at the ground and I won
THE LYCAN CITY. LUKKAR CASTLE.ALPHA LUKKARThe Warriors growled at the strangers, I and Amin walked to the front of the line. The men that stood at the castles gate both looked as nonchalant as ever but when I locked eyes with the taller one I immediately recognised his aura.“YOU!” My instincts were feral, I had waited for the day I would get to rip him apart, the day I would get to complete our fight without him backing out.“Forgive my err, intrusion your majesty but I would not have dared step foot on the royal grounds if I did not bring urgent news.”“The war is coming, we know, all you’ve done it submit yourself for me to tear you limb from limb!” I stepped froward, my wolf angry and ready to come out for the brawl. The other wolf standing beside him took a step back, cowering in fear.“If you would err, just allow me speak.”“You Hunted my luna, almost killed her, I have nothing to hear from you!” i closed the second between I and the Hunter in a second, the power of my wolf f

But now not only did her presence make me feel slightly giddy inside, but she had also delivered the horrifying news concerning Emeral soldiers matching up the the boarders of the City.I had had to lie on the ground until Nelma had come to help me up, the two females cared less about if I would be able to see again or not. My face was still swollen all over and I could barely see five feet in front of me as the horse galloped on. I held tight to Sylria, she rode the horse and Valerie held tight to me, Nelma giggling excitedly.The certificate was in my hands, my head still ached from the aggressive way Sylria had let out her anger in beating my face flat against the ground. My healing was slower than usual but I could feel my lips repair themselves and lost teeth start to stalactite from my upper jaw.The horse neighed, throwing its legs into the air
THE LYCAN CITY. LUKKAR CASTLE. CASTL E CELLARSFUGITIVE DERONThe cold from heavy shackles weighed my hands down, this was not the kind of fate I was expecting to have. So far no one had said a word to me except for the Warrior that had plotted all this out with Jharad and by his gloating expression he had achieved whatever it was he had wanted to accomplish.A cold bowl of what I thought was supposed to be dark porridge sat beside me in this dirt cellar, I knew it would only taste twice as bad as it looked.Why hadn’t I jumped with her? I still had the ankh on when I saw the glint of the fired arrow but somehow at that only moment I had forgotten about the dark magic that I had in form of a cross hanging from my neck and instead took the poison arrow. Foolish.Still, one question me, who had tried to kill Valerie and why? I was still not clear on what her status was in this kingdom but from the looks of things she indeed was the Queen, the Alphas mate, his Luna. I still remembered h

VALERIES INTRODCUTION CEREMONYFUGITIVE DERONJust saying it was hard to breath was more like a revised way to explain it all, not only were my lungs frozen but my entire body had stiffened to stone. I saw her paused too, her arm halfway through a wave and her lips parted. It was like we had gone to sleep and woke up in the same dream, but it was her and this moment was more real than reality. She had evaded one Alpha only to be forced to marry another? I would not all this!I Slung the ankh over my neck, allowing my wolf to take over and I felt the deep cut on my arm heal up before the power of my inner beast took over my being. I towered over the cheering nobles who were probably too drunk to notice the black wolf that loomed within them.‘VALERIE!’ I linked my scream to her before taking the largest leap, she did not move, she stayed still like a statue her eyes shaky as she looked into the orbs of my giant wolf. I pounced on he
THE LYCAN CITY. UNKNOWNFUGITIVE DERONCertain memories flood back into my mind as I stared into Sylrias’ brown eyes. Her body was just highlighted by the moon perfectly but what concerned me most was the imposing staff she held tightly in her left hand. She did not wear any smile, just a nasty look and I could easily spot her ankh so black it would make a shadow seem bright. Why would she bring an ankh and a staff? This was a friendly meet but the glare on her face made me think otherwise.It hadn’t been too long I saw her, but seeing her like this made me question if she still saw me the same way or if she looked at me and all she saw was a stranger.For a moment we both said nothing, I waited for her to make the first words but she seemed to be waiting for me to speak up first too.“Sylria…”“Deron!”We said each others names at the same time.x x x x x x x x x x x x x x xThe streets were more busy than they had ever, everyone in the kingdom spoke about the Queen to be and the fea
THE LYCAN CITY. LUKKAR CASTLEVALERIENever had so many people stared at me like this, stared at me with happy and warm smiles. I had had stares in my life, a lot of stares that usually came with an equal lot of scorn. But today I was the star of the kingdom, nobles flocked around me like I was some rare gem they all wanted to get a glimpse, for the first time I had seen peasants walk the castle halls. I greeted a small peasant family, the man looked a bit scruffy and took only about a second to recognise me before he threw his head down and literally screamed the words, “It’s an honour to be in your presence your grace!”I laughed heartily, waving him off and I saw the surprise on his wife’s face when I said, “The pleasure is all mine.” I gave their daughter a flower from one of the many Ariel had stocked like decorations in my hair, and my heart rose when I saw the long smile that brightened the girls face.Since I told Lukkar the truth about me I had felt freer, lighter and more re
THE LYCAN CITY. LUKKAR CASTLEVALERIEMaids flocked around me like termites around a candle light and their happy faces were a complete opposite of the glum face that stared back at me from the mirror. It was my day, I would finally get to be one with Lukkar, why wasn’t I happy?The air in the room held the fragrance of several different perfumes and face powders, all of which blended together to give a rather pungent smell. When the chattering and occasional dabbing on my face with make- up brushes started to bug me I stood up. They all went silent, most of them were younger than me anyway.“Excuse me I… I think I need some air.” I walked out of my room, my face half painted with power and I proceeded to the garden. I instantly spot Reila, she was with a watering can attending to a small bush of roses.She spoke once I got close to her, “I knew you’d come to find me here…”I shrugged my shoulders. “I’m just not really feeling it…”She turned to face me. “You? Or Valerie?”There was n
