BOARDER OF THE LYCAN CITY
ALPHA LUKKAR
My heart beats faster as my instincts went feral, I still had the blood of the Hunter wolf I had thrashed staining my golden fur. Blood lusted, feral and angry I looked through the eyes of my wolf form. My Alpha aura was so dense it drove the owls into the air and the rodents into whatever hole they crawled out of.
I looked at the Hunter with a deep livid anger it contorted my face and my muscles vibrated from the intense anger and emotion.The Hunter riled up and I impose my aura on him but he shuns it, growling harshly before I jump at him again, teeth bared and I was ready for the kill.
I had jumped the Hunter right before he had the chance to harm her life. Ferociously attacking and fatally injuring the brown wolf before he had the chance at the fight back.
The Hunter was foolish, most wolves would squirm and lower their heads in submission when they came across me, yet, this Hunter had had the guts to throw paws and jaws with me. He was easily no match and whimpered as I almost snapped his neck with my jaws. His teeth caught my thigh and I felt the pain like a sting before proceeded to ravenous on whatever skin he had on. He got away limping through the trees and would have tracked and finished him if not for the euphoric scent I picked up.
I had been lying on the grass just before the boarders between my kingdom when I picked up a high pitched scream and my wolfs offenses kicked in. It was out of my control and in a second I was trampling through the trees, my blood hot and my instincts kicked in to protect the source of the cry. I had finally found My Luna!
Only the call from your mate could force a shift and her scream had instantly made me shift into my wolf.
I was the Alpha, I could call a bevy of beauty maidens at one command yet none had ever moved me the way her scream had.
I had lived most of life respected and powerful. As the ruling Alpha I was still yet to pick a mate and now I carefully sought for the source of the scent that could bring out my wolf and make me take on a Hunter that was bigger in size than I was. And win.
I had never felt this much power surge through my veins and I was sure it was because I was fighting not only for myself but also for the need to protect my Luna. It was said that an Alpha was stronger once he found his mate and would doing anything to protect her from harm.
I gave silent thanks that I had arrived just in time to save her. The pain of one losing a mate was like losing a part of yourself. Most wolves would go wild if they witnessed their mate die especially if they had just been bonding and hadn’t lived a longer life with them, while in some rare cases the wolf that lost the mate may even lose their ability to shift and fall chronically sick and would have a high chance of dying. Just like my father.
I silently tracked her scent, limping as the pain in my thigh was getting graver with every step I took. If this pain was what I needed to endure to find my Luna then I’d happily do it over and over again. I had barely seen here, just a mere glimpse of her face under the moonlight and I could already see that she was turn up and looked like injured. I was angry at myself for not finishing the Hunter and he got away.
If I could find her I could take her back to my home for treatment. The pain of knowing that your mate was in such a state and not being able to do anything was equal to watching them get devoured in front of you and I began to whimper as I tracked her.
With every sniff of my mates scent I became more and more attached to it and sooner I the painful urge to have her in my arms was draining me just as much as it was empowering me.
I let out a loud howl. If she had shifted she would reply. I waited. None.
‘NO !’ I screamed in my mind before continuing on her tracks.
I can’t loose her. Not like this! I need to find her! I was the ruling Alpha and now I suddenly felt incomplete without my Luna.
I howled again, her scent was getting thicker in the air and it aroused me, suddenly imagining exciting scenes of having her in my bed. Romance and sex throughout the night.
The quicker I found my Luna the better. She was in danger, being Hunted by a wolf that could shun my superior aura and stand in a fight against me. She must have been in most danger of her entire life.
I trudged on until I see the backlights of a rusty truck speeding down the dirt road and I was sure that I had picked up her scent trailing with the van as it drove.
“NO!!!” I screamed again in my mind, this time howling so loud I was sure people would hear in and shudder in their dreams.
I couldn’t lose her! Whoever she was her cry alone was enough to force me to shift, ready to protect her. Wolves could only meet a mate once in their life and they’d always be the perfect match for each other meanwhile mine was getting away from me in a rusty old truck.
For a moment we locked eyes, I could easily make out her petrified face and she stared back at me from the distance.
I may not have known who she was but she no doubt my Luna.I would find her. She could make the Alpha shift with just a cry. My mate.
I raised my snout, howling again and the leaves on the trees vibrated from the loud call.
She belonged by my side! My Luna! She is the Alphas mate!
BOARDER OF THE LYCAN CITYVALERIEMy ankle twisted with pain as I limp, trying my best to keep myself from falling I used the next tree to support myself before taking the next step.This was a run for my life, if I was caught by the Hunter this time I was sure he would not fail to take my head back to the Alpha Emeral.My mind was frantic. My Hunter may or may not be alive. The golden wolf that had interceded had given me just about enough time to escape. It was dark and cold, not an ideal time and place for a female to be walking—or more like limping in the forest.I leaned against a tree, allowing myself to rest against the rough bark. I had heard the siren blare a few seconds after I escaped the drunk Alpha, I was running away from my betrothal naturally I would be labelled a traitor and a bounty placed on my head. But what was I supposed to do? The Alpha had tried to rape me, I was merely protecting my self and the little dignity I had left.I thought about my life before all thi
THE LYCAN CITYALPHA LUKKARThe moon beamed high above. The bright orb casts it blessing rays of light down and with it I felt strength work its way through my being.I limped back to my castle, the deep gash in my thigh was healing more slow than usual. I still felt the urge for gore and the need to rip through the Hunter wolfs throat. I was simply protecting my land. The Hunter was from the Emeral city, he was an intruder and in any light you saw it.But there had been someone else, a girl. It was her scream that had made me shift. Her voice penetrated the air like a lance, it was like she was calling out to me. I had never felt the urge to protect someone that badly.When my eyes discerned the Hunter wolf I suddenly had a lust for blood. He was going to kill her if I had not intervened. He was going to kill the girl that could command the Alpha.But she was already gone before the Hunter retreated. The only thing I was able to salvage was a turn piece of the dress she wore, with i
THE LYCAN CITYVALERIEThe drive to the old mans little shack was longer than I had expected. The drivers radio played old country music and he hummed along. I folded my arms to cover my tits and found myself glancing back through the glass window. The thought of rather giant wolf galloping after the old truck was horrifying enough.A few men walked by, spying the car as we drove by so I lowered my head to avoid being recognised by a Hunter. As long as the bounty stood, Hunters would always tracking me. If I wanted to live the best way was to avoid being seen altogether.The Hunters riffle was tucked beside his seat, in the worst case I could defend myself with the gun that’s if I even knew how to use it. The truck driver glanced at the bruises on my face on body. I avoided his eyes, keeping my focus on the road ahead. The Lycan city was much gloomier than I had expected, though we were only in the outskirts.The calm and quiet seemed too in unreal, like I was in that moment right bef
THE EMERAL KINGDOMDERONLyxias elated laughter was the only thing that annoyed me more than the news that had just been reported.‘Valerie Mo'monte, the to be mate of his Lordship Alpha Emeral attacked and flee the Emeral castle. She was hunted and killed a few days ago.’I held the newspaper to my face, staring at the boldly written words as my hands shook with anxiety. Lyxia laughed in an excitement I could not understand. How was this funny?Jack tried to act proud, I looked straight through the ugly mask of boldness he wore as a shadow over his face and saw the fear that lay behind. Even he knew that Valerie would be more of a threat to herself than she could ever be to anyone else. She had suffered and was left like a an empty shell.Something didn’t add up. Her murder was more suspicious than the mismatched newspaper I held in my hands.“We’ll all I can say is good riddance!” Jack exclaimed, eyeing Lyxia and hoping to gain some further acknowledgment and favours from her.“Well
THE LYCAN CITY. PEASANT MARKET.VALERIEThe markets here were not much different from the ones at my kingdom. The hood I wore over my head died enough to keep out the sun and to keep the daring eyes of most people away from me.I had woke up quite early, jumping up from the small bed and peering anxiously through the grimy glass window. Nothing suspicious, the streets were empty. This was probably one of the joys of living in the outskirts, peace of mind.I took a quick shower, squeezing my tits and enjoying a small sense of pleasure before stepping out and drying my body with a rather large towel Mrs Jahn had provided for me. She had told me she would be going to the markets today and I couldn’t help but miss the opportunity to get the diamonds sold as quickly possibly.Mr Jahn was not present when we had breakfast so I was sure he was still in bed. The old man seemed to have a rather delicate health and would sleep in for hours. We are in silence and I was grateful for the excessive
THE LYCAN CITY. LUKKAR CASTLE.ALPHA LUKKARI had not received word from my tracker. My Luna was still out there, not in my arms and pain it caused me was becoming unbearable. I got into the shower, the cold water that rushed down washed the blood that was around the my thigh. I had done so much training with Amin I hadn’t given my thigh any time to totally recover form the injury.My kingdom was being ruled by the regent Beta wolves and their way of conduct was rather cruel. The peasant got poorer while the nobles only got richer. It was a horrible scheme that ensures they always had their fair pay of bribes and embezzlement of the kingdoms funds.If I was the king Alpha I would put an end to such an unjust way of life. That was something my father fought to do, he had united both kingdoms, using the resources from both to ensure that neither would suffer or starve. My father was a powerful Alpha, but death wasn’t something that waited for any man and my mothers death was the catalys
THE LYCAN CITY. PEASANT MARKET.VALERIEMy heart pounded harder than a drum as I run I felt like it would break out of my ribs. The harsh sounds of ferocious wolves boomed as I dash through the markets. I barely felt the pain in my injured foot and when I take the next step I don’t allow my legs to stay on the ground for long before taking the next.Mrs Jahns call had been the perfect distraction for me to get myself out of such a situation. The Hunters had finally found me, I was a weak little girl who couldn’t even shift trying to evade a pack of angry Hunters on foot and not to mention that I had to duck and dodge every now and then to avoid taking the next shops window to my face, while my pursuers literally just broke through anything and everything in their path.In front I saw merchants and sellers dash out of my way as I approach, some on lookers watched from closed stalls and it occurred to me how cold this city actually was. All these people seeing me dash for my life throug
CHAPTER TWELVE - MOONTHE LYCAN CITY. LUKKAR CASTLE.ALPHA LUKKARThe maids applied healing ointment to my skin were specifically careful. Amins wolf assaulted mine with his teeth I had felt like it was a blood lusted fight no longer a training session. He had won yet again, just like all the other times and I was beginning to lose hope of event winning the old man in any case. Our training sessions lasted for about an hour before either of us could get worn out. Amin brilliant black wolf looked twice as scary as it was and he fought like he was aiming for the kill.‘All to get you stronger!’ He would say after he had won.He was the only one who could assault the Alpha and live anyone else would be left in a bloody like if they did as much as disobey my orders. I had to rule with an iron fist and exert my aura on anyone who was below me. I hadn’t yet been officially crowned but still I was respected and treated and like the Alpha I was.I had received a letter from my tracker, accord
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
THE LYCAN CITY. 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
THE LYCAN CITY. LUKKAR CASTLE. HIDDEN WOODSFUGITIVE DERONMaybe I would have been more at peace if Sylria had never shown up, maybe. 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
THE LYCAN CITY. LUKKAR CASTLE. THE GREAT THRONE ROOM. 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
