The week for the challenge had finally reached. The first activity was a race. We were given a starting point in the forest and clues to find our way to the finish line. I was currently standing in the forest with Gardenia who had a smug look on her face.
I wondered why the fight was prolonged. They were just extending my humiliation. Jairus explained to me that the sword fighting was the most important part. The other games were just to keep the people entertained and have a build up until the final day. The castle was bubbling with guests. Different sub-alphas were accommodated in the castle. Wolves from other territories were also present but they were staying in inns and hotels. Everybody wanted to watch the challenge.
A gun shot interrupted my thoughts. Gardenia took off immediately. I followed behind her and cursed under my breath. I ran with all my might until I saw a white sign on the tree. It pointed to the left. I turned to the l
I pulled on my leather pants and sports bra and headed downstairs. Today was for hunting. I had lost the first game to Gardenia. I walked downstairs nonchalantly and into the open field where the audience and spectators had gathered.Thane sat in his throne, Jairus on his left. The throne on the right was empty. The rules for the second game was stated out. Two hours to hunt. The one with the most kill wins the round. We entered the forest through separate routes.For the first thirty minutes I chased a rabbit. Stumbling and hurting myself but never catching it. I sighed in frustration and sat in defeat."Giving up already?" I turned to the voice and saw the woman from yesterday."I tried my best"
I donned my white dress angrily. I suddenly felt like I was entertainment for the guests. Why did they have to add these games. We could have just had the goddamned sword fighting and let it end there.As I was walking, I bumped into a guard. I was about to let my frustrations out when he spoke."A gift from the king" he opened the cloth that covered the gift. The white arrow I had practiced with lay in his arms. I smiled and took it from his arms. He handed me a flask of arrows and left.I continued down the stairs, a smile on my face. The gift had lifted my spirits. I arrived at the centre before Gardenia. She came moments later in a green gown, a crown of flowers on her head. I must say she looked ridiculous. Green was not a good colour on her.She walked as if she counted her steps. A smug look on her face. I couldn't wait to wipe it off her stupid face. We stood facing the target.I s
I jerked upright at the sound of my name. My head hurt badly and my heart was pounding in my chest. I looked around expecting to see the angry mob. My eyes met green orbs filled with... Worry?"You were screaming in your sleep" I scratched the back of my head."I had a nightmare" he lay me down and got into bed behind me, wrapping his arms around me."You don't have to stay with me" he ignored me and switched of the light and I tensed."No, please leave it on for a while" he switched it on and pulled me into his chest. I couldn't go back to sleep. I was scared I was going to see worse than what I'd seen in the previous dream."Stop worrying. I'm here" he breathed out. I tried to relax. S
My body ached as I turned over. I pushed myself up and rested against the headboard."Lay back. You're not fully healed" I turned and saw Thane seating on the recliner. I took in my surroundings and saw I was in his room."Water" I croaked. My throat felt dry and I wondered how long I was out if it. I looked at my dress and saw I had been changed into a light dress and my injuries were cleaned up.He held the cup to my mouth and I took small sips. I drank about half of the glass and I gently pushed his hands away. He placed the glass on the table and arranged pillows at my back."How long was I out?""Six hours" I nodded. His eyes rolled in the back of his head. He grunted and stood up.
I gulped at the intensity in his eyes. I arched my exposed breasts to him. He latched onto one nipple and sucked. My eyes rolled in my head and tried to twist my body because of the pleasure. He switched to the next nipple and continued sucking.He kissed down my ribs and nipped my thigh."Just as l like you. Wet and needy just for me" He ran his tongue along my slit. I bucked my hips into his face and gripped his hair tightly. He held my wrists."Keep your hands above your head. Don't move it or I'll stop" I whimpered. I moved my hands above my held and he continued licking me.He circled my nub with his tongue as he spread my pussy lips apart. I moaned and gripped the sheets tightly to avoid grabbing his hair. He pushed the tip of his to
His struggle for control showed on his face. He moved his hips slowly. Thrusting into me gently while searching my eyes for any hint of pain. I began to feel pleasure and let out a loud moan. He growled and wrapped one of my legs around his waist and increased his pace.My moans encouraging him as he started pounding into me. I held onto his biceps for dear life as I neared the brink of climax."Ahhhhhh... Fucckkkkkkkk" I screamed as I squirted, my juices landing on his chest. My pussy still contracting from pleasure. He continued thrusting in and out at a slow pace drawing out my orgasm.He pulled out and I reached out to stop him from leaving. He turned me on my stomach and pulled my hips up and arched my back keeping my breasts on the bed.
I stood with Lily as we waited for the cars to pull up front. The hot bath helped with the soreness but I still wobbled and felt pain if I walked too fast or stand up abruptly. Two black cars pulled up and Noir came down from one."Is he going with us?" She looked panicked."Yes. For security" she muttered under her breath."Let's go" I held her hand as we walked to the car. Noir opened the front for her to get in. She looked at me with pleading eyes. I didn't know what was going on but something had happened between both of them and Lily was running away."It's fine. I want her to sit with me" he clenched his jaw and nodded stiffly. Lily let out a sigh of relief beside me and we entered the car. Noir shut the door and strode to the other side of the
"Search the mountains for him" the guards ran up the mountains in search of Roman. Noir held Lily's wrists tightly."Let her go" I moved towards them. Thane pulled me back."Don't fucking speak" he was shaking in anger. I wasn't sure if the anger was towards me or Roman. I felt his anger through the bond and I prayed to the goddess that it wasn't directed to me."She should be the least of your worries""He's hurting her""No he's not. She's going to be punished anyways""Punished? No, it was my fault. I commanded her to follow me""And you'll be punished too" he threw me over his shoulder and took me to the car. Noir and Lily followed us into the car and Noir drove us home. I didn't have a chance to ask Lily how she was because Thane carried me out as soon as Noir parked and into the room.Kyros was waiting in the room when we got there.
Five years laterI groaned in annoyance as I tried so hard to find my offspring. Born as a Lycan with witch abilities, the child was a total chaos.Iraia Sparta came into the world without a fuss. The blood had really helped and the delivery was smooth but I've decided to wait until my body is ready before a bear another but Thane is insistent on getting me with child."Iraia baby. Please come and have a bath" I nearly cried now. My enhanced smell couldn't help me because she had the gift of masking her smell.I felt a comforting hand around me and I sighed. "What's the matter?""It's your child. You promised to warn her to stop this""I did""No you didn't. She's wrapped you around her tiny witchly fingers" I heard giggling and saw the little devil in her brothers hands."Thank you so much Jairus. May your children not bother you
Thane asked me to go up to my room with Nala and rest while they went to sort the problem. I didn't argue because I was in too much shock and I didn't want to watch any gory scene.Apparently Roman wanted me dead because I was a half-breed, Anstice wanted revenge because his daughter was 'killed' because of me. The maid was just a pawn in their games but she was going to be punished and the witch didn't want my child born.They spent most of the day in the dungeon, torturing the criminals. When Thane came back to our room, he was freshly showered and I was thankful because I didn't want to see blood on him.He joined me and pulled me into his chest. "It's over?""It's over" I kissed his hands and thanked him because I felt at peace now. There was no m
I could already feel his rage through the bond. His smell was the first I noticed before his blazing eyes met mine. He walked to me and quickly inspected me for any injuries.I touched his arm. "I'm fine" he nodded and went over to Noir and he filled him in."Who gave the Luna a drink in my name" his loud voice boomed. Everywhere was dead silent and it only seemed to increase his rage. He released is dominance and all werewolves and humans fell to the floor.Noir and Valdus seemed to be struggling to stay upright while the others groaned in pain. I whimpered as I was not left out. He turned to me and released his hold on them.He walked to me and carried me in his arms and out of the great hall. Valdus and Noir followed behind us.
"I want it out" want what out? I rubbed my eyes and sat up in bed. Kyros and Thane looked at me as they stopped talking."Want what out? What happened to me?" Kyros looked from me to Thane and to me again. Thane stormed out of the room slamming the door.Kyros cleared his throat and moved closer to me but still kept a safe distance."You're pregnant""I am? How did that happen? My heat passed""Not really. The first day is the most intense but the heat doesn't end on the first day"Ohhh. That was it? Thane seemed mad. "Is that why Thane is upset? He does want the baby?""The baby is a Lycan just like his father and you're human""But the mark..""The mark cannot change you completely. And even if it could it's still recent. Your body is not ready for a Lycan baby yet. It'll take a couple of years or decades before you're r
Things were going well. I was really happy. And in love. I smiled giddily as I put on my dress. After much persuasion Thane had finally let me visit Bronte's hut but I had to go with Noir.He stayed outside while I explored the inside of the hut. I didn't want to take anything out of the hut so I read the books there.I had found out a few things about my mother. Her name was Circe. There was no record about my father's name except that he was a werewolf. The book talked about a prophecy but I couldn't understand it.After three days, I was satisfied with what I had learnt about my mother and figured there was no need to search deeper. I remembered Bronte's words from the dungeon.I took one final look around the room. This was the last time I would be coming here. I went outside and saw Thane outside with Noir. This was the first time he had come here. He turned to me and smiled. I smiled and jogged to wh
"Do you still love her" I asked. He sat unmoving looking at me not saying anything. I guess I had my answer. I stood up and he held me back."I do" I nodded looking down at my feet so he wouldn't see the tears in my eyes. Hearing it made my heart break even more."But I love you too" I looked up at him and stared into his eyes, searching for any hint he might be lying. His eyes looked sincere."You do?" I asked unsurely."Yes. I love you. I love everything about you and I want to spend the rest of my life showing you how much I do" I choked back a sob as he held me in his arms."Don't cry. I hate to see tears in your eyes""I love you
THANE'S POVI hurried back to the cabin hoping I got there in time for her heat. Her scent was faint. I went to the room we shared and checked the wardrobe but her stuff was gone.I figured she must have left the cabin but I was worried. She didn't know the area or the way back to the castle.I mind linked Noir and he confirmed that Jairus had brought her back. meddlesome pup. I shifted into my beast and ran back to the capital.I sent Carlyn back to the castle while I went to the cabin. I went up straight to our room. When I opened the door, Carlyn and Esme were sitting together and didn't seem to notice."I'm sorry I kept Thane with me all through yesterday" Esme nodded but didn't say anything."It's just that yesterday was Catalina's birthday. goddess bless her soul. She loved to celebrate it and so even after her death, Thane still cele
The two days had gone in a blur with I and Thane spending time together. Although he still had to work but, it wasn't all the time.We played games to pass time and he thought me how to throw a knife. We talked about stuffs and he was extremely affectionate.I knew he had not forgotten his ex mate but I was certain he felt something for me. I know I did feel something for him. In fact I had fallen hard. I couldn't explain how I felt but I was happy whenever I saw him and felt butterflies whenever he smiled at him.I wanted to wake up beside him every morning and hopefully have a family together.I was starting to feel feverish but the heat had not yet started. I had a cold shower and put on a singlet with shorts. I went to the Kitchen but there was no sign of Thane.I went out on the porch and called out his name but there was no sign of Thane. I went back to the kitchen to get some water
When I woke up the next morning, I felt better. I wanted to go to Bronte's hut but Thane wouldn't let me. He kept on going on about how I visited the dungeons and how I had not gotten my punishment.He further restricted my movement and confined me to my room for a whole week.The day of my heat was three days away and I had become more antsy. Thane had suggested we go to his private cabin secluded in the forest.We were to leave later today and he had forbidden me from stepping out of the room because my scent had become stronger and more alluring and he didn't want to kill any male today.Still tossing on he bed trying to sleep, I heard sounds at the window. I looked downstairs and saw Lily struggling with somebody. I couldn't see the face of
