CHAPTER FIFTY ONE - NOSTALGIC BETRAYALTHE LYCAN CITY. SACRED FORESTVALERIEAs if sitting with my legs crossed for hours was not enough, Reila still insisted that I keep as still possible and focus on the inner voice that resided in me.Reila listened intensively as I narrated the routines I had been put through and I did not expect the long frowned that dropped her face when I finished.“What?!” I asked, getting irritated as this was not working out either and the sun was mercilessly beating on my back and nape.“Valerie… those routines, they aren’t to help you shift, rather they are to lock up your wolf.”I did not understand what she had said, ‘lock up my wolf?’Had my father hired an instructor that did the opposite, and instead of helping me shift, ensured I never did.**********The ride home was short, my mate made his attempts at a reconciliation but I was still too pissed to consider his apologies.He had been with the very woman that was constantly reminding herself to me,
CHAPTER FIFTY TWO - THE PATH TO THE CONNECTION THE LYCAN CITY. SACRED FORESTVALERIE“What?!” I blinked severally, trying to get myself to come down and grasp the things she were saying. Even Ariel had stopped chasing the butterfly and now stood beside us.“The routine, it’s not to induce a shift, it’s not even to help one come in contact with their wolf…”“But why? Why would Deron’s mother want to sabotage me? To what gain?”Had they really hated me to the extent of making sure I never even got to shift? As serious as Reila made it sound, it still sounded too ridiculous to be true.“No… no no no, you must be misunderstanding. She is a trainer… she’s the reason why Deron was the best younger in all the kingdom!” I explained as if Reila had been there with me in the Emeral kingdom, as if she lived amongst us and knew who the hell Deron even was.“The technique, back to the moon. It’s a taboo, it places a curse on the person who does it and makes their wolf dwindle instead of kindle!”
THE LYCAN CITY. SACRED FORESTALPHA LUKKAR“What do you mean? I came here to get you… you’ve been gone for so long I—”“Gone?!” She bellowed, “I left the castle because I couldn’t stand you!” She screamed again.I jumped down from my stallion, walking up to her.“What do you mean? It’s not safe for you out here, you know that… you’re my Queen and it got so late I was worried…” My voice was bold and soft but that didn’t sway the anger from her face.“Safe? Tell me what’s dangerous about being here?” She poked me in the chest, her face a mere inch away from mine and I had never seen her so enraged it almost made me fear for my own safety and she looked like a totally different person.“Why does it always have to complicated with you?” I said between grit teeth, my own anger beginning to boil up my blood.“Comparing me with that red head bitch of yours now are we?!” She was small but her voice was more powerful than the full force of my aura.“Red head? Ugh..!” I pressed my fingers to th
THE LYCAN CITY. HIDDEN WOODS.FUGITIVE DERONSylria ransacked the Papa’s office. I wearily kept watch at the door, peering out at the hall way every time a shadow went by.“Hey! 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
THE LYCAN CITY. HIDDEN WOODS. PAPA’S OFFICEFUGITIVE DERONSylria ransacked the Papa’s office. 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
THE LYCAN CITY. HIDDEN WOODSFUGITIVE DERON“After that he took I and Nelma to where he lay the bodies of the Hunters that killed my parents—”“Wait wait wait! 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
