BORDERS OF THE EMERAL KINGDOMDERONMy mother could not drive any slower than she already was, I frantically tapped my shoes on the floor or the car as I wished she would pick up the speed. There was hardly any traffic in our kingdom, the roads were wide and verse it was hard for cars to get stuck.She was supposed to drop me off at the train station that carried both people and goods to the Lycan Kingdom, many traders used the trains, it was easier and faster and had less security.She peered at me from the front mirror, clearly seeing my impatience she gunned the engine and the sudden change in gravity pressed me against the chairs as she sped. Better! I had already wasted too much time for comfort now I had to act fast. I was already here, there was no turning back for me now, I needed to do this, my conscience would not let me rest as long as I knew that Valeries death was staged by the Alpha and she could still be alive in the Lycan Kingdom.Whatever the Alpha Emeral was planning
THE LYCAN CITY. LUKKAR CASTLE VALERIE My feet felt more sore than I expected them to be, I lay on my mates bed wearing nothing but a loose night dress as I recalled the routine I had gone through with Reila, we had left the castle and proceeded, with two body guards of course, to take a stroll towards the country side, there I was forced to hike up a small hill which I almost fell down from twice. Her ‘special’ spot was supposed to be on the other side of the steep and stony hill but when she saw that I wasn’t getting anywhere, we decided to call it a day. One of the guards shifted and carried me on his back, and I was thankful for that because walking was now a difficulty. When I came into the room Lukkar was no where to be seen. Probably went out with his old ninja by his side. I lay on his bed, allowing his sweet scent to turn me on and I imagined the sex I had with him that glorious night. Just thinking about it now was enough to make me crave and my body started it usual tingli
THE LYCAN CITY. LUKKAR CASTLEALPHA LUKKARThere was no doubt about it, I was sure it had been Rosalie. She had her ways with manipulating one’s mind with her words. The clumsy maid apologised times over as she hurried to clean up the mess she had made but I used the perfectly timed distraction to slip on a white suit and pass out of the room. I could perceive her scent. Rosalie.She was here, she had been here and oddly her scent still made me feel a little tingling in my stomach.‘And where are you going?’ Amin’s voice linked into my mind and I knew he was somewhere close by.‘Going to find the red head!’ I said firmly and at that moment he, as usual, materialised from behind a pillar and picked up his pace behind me.“The regent Beta has scheduled the meeting with your Luna to a week from now… her grace better be ready right before then.”“Thank you Amin.” I tip tapped down the stairs and the maids parted as I came skipped my way down.“You are going to meet with lady Rosalie now a
THE LYCAN CITY. CITY MARKETSALPHA LUKKARThe wolves were gone in a moment and I was surrounded by an assembly of warrior wolves. The ringing I heard I knew only existed in my head was preventing me from listening to the words the warrior wolves linked to my mind.Once I spotted the matt beauty of Amin I knew that I was finally in safe hands. My Stewart scooped me with his snout and I lay motionless on the soft spongy fur of his back. Sooner the pulsating ache in my head was now becoming a dazing pain and I groaned as the aftermath noise from the tyrants rampage was now becoming a deafening blare. However I had gotten hit by the unseen wolf was more severe than I actually thought and I could feel my grip on consciousness loosening by the moment.The last thing I remembered was Amin’s deep howl and a call for immediate emergency.**********I am tangled in Rosalie’s arms, her scent thick with arousal and her voice light and whispery. Our romance spans for close to ten minutes and I cou
THE LYCAN CITY. UNKNOWNFUGITIVE DERONI had felt it, an aura so powerful I instinctively jumped over it. The Alpha, but who? where? I had not spotted any other wolf in the markets apart from myself and the shady Hunter, the Hunter I was now forced to following because I knew the very sight of my peculiar wolf was already on the black list of this kingdoms police force.We tramped through a small forest behind the markets and I immediately lost any sense of navigation I had. Completely lost my only option was to follow behind the Hunter and hope he wasn’t leading me into some kind of trap. After what felt like an eternity of running and dodging around trees the wolf slowed and I kept my distance behind him, weary or any fast moves he might want to pull on me, he was almost twice my size and from the looks of things he had an experience when it came to real life fights and brawls so in any way I looked at it I was at a disadvantage if I thought to fight him.He stared me in the eyes be
THE LYCAN CITY. UNKNOWNFUGITIVE DERONThe little girl giggled with amazement at my surprise, it was nice to see her so happy but also quite uncomfortable as her laughter was rather mocking.“Nelly?!” I recognised the harsher tone of the older girl. She rushed and picked up the cackling child as if trying to protect the girl from a dangerous beast that was about to lure her into her demise.I stood up, admiring the care she had in her eyes for the grimy child but she sobered up as she noticed my stares. She placed the girl back on her feet.“Go to your room okay, I’ll be right with you…”The little girl seized her laughter, sauntering through the dimly lit corridors and I was sure out of the cabin all together.Once she was the littler version of herself was out of ear shot she turned her attention to me. “Now let me warn you Emeral filth!” As she spoke she took bold steps towards me and I was forced to move back. “I catch you anywhere near my sister again, I’ll cut off your pink ball
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!”
