Lucian. I stare at her long and hard before I turn my back and walk down to her father's office, with her following behind. "I hope you enjoyed your stay, Lycan King," said Alpha Dane cheerfully, "Since this is not our world, I can't entirely give you perfect hospitality." "It was okay, thanks." I muttered. "I think we'll start off to a good start, don't you think?" he said as he poured out the wine into the glasses, "We'll form a powerful and strong alliance with my daughter as your wife." "Here," he handed me a glass but I took it from him and set it down on the desk. "I haven't made up my mind yet, Alpha Dane." I said to him, "Give me two days to think it through." Cassie came and stood in front of me, anger written all over her face, "We don't have that much time! Why do you even need that much time if you will still marry me anyways?!" My eyes turn red as I growled, "You do know who you're talking to right?!" She backed away, however still in a pensive mood. "Y
Hazel. Beside my flaming guilt was my concern. I was extremely worried about Lucian and even the safety of the Pack and the humans, whose world I had helped to destroy. I could never forgive myself because even my family is suffering the brunt of my decision. They are nowhere to be found and I kept on hoping against hope that they were still alive. Lucian was leaving with Cassie, his beta and his gamma. He didn't say where they were going but I was more worried that Cassie was going with him. I did not trust her or maybe I just felt jealous. My helplessness made it worse. I had no powers, I couldn't even fight yet I had created all this mess. I'd have opted I go with Lucian instead of Cassie but when I remembered that she's of good use than I am, I swallowed my words and watched them leave. Against the wishes of Ash and Ylva who kept following me around and pleading with me to return to the room, I preferred to stay and help the injured humans out. Through them, I found out
Hazel. "What?" Lucian scrunchies up his face, obviously not expecting my reply. "Hazel, are you okay?" he askes me and I nod my head, scared that if I speak I would break down in tears. "Look at me, Hazel!" he raises my chin with his finger, "You..you want me to get married to Cassie?" I put up a good front, "Yes, Lucian. It is the only way the Pack can be safe." "No," he says firmly, anger evident in his eyes, "This is not about the Pack, Hazel. I don't have to marry someone I do not love and hurt my mate just to save the Pack! There is always a way we can go about this." "We don't have time to figure out the way, Lucian. You won't be hurting me either by getting married to Cassie," my voice is low as I speak, "I understand that you're doing it for the safety of the-" He grabs my arm suddenly and holds me to his chest. "I told you, Hazel," his warm breath fanned my neck, "If you don't want me to marry her I will not." "I want you to marry her," I say very quickly, my thoughts
Lucian. Heavy murmurs rose among the gathered crowd. Most of them did not even hide their glare from me. I stared at the faces of my beta and gamma. They were dissatisfied with my decision. Even Hazel was in utter shock. "Silence!" my voice echoed in the large hall and silence was restored. "I know y'all think I do not care about you but I don't have to get married to Cassie to prove it. Mark my words, there will be a way out." I say to them, "And with that being said, the training hours should be increased. Every one of you must partake in it because we are all fighting." I pause for a while before concluding, "You are dismissed." They fill out of the hall in disappointment, whispering whatever to themselves. I knew this would be a tough one but it is also a good thing- sometimes we have to step out of our comfort zone to discover what lies within us. "This is unfair, Lycan" said Henry when the hall was empty leaving only I with my beta and gamma. "You are putting your sel
Hazel.A grunt escape my lips as I fall on the ground and the stones hurt my skin. This slap hurts more than my stepmother's as the impact caused my skin to itch terribly."And this is the Lycan's mate, you say?" the old aged woman spoke with a frail voice as she circled round me, "Hmmm, she smells nice!""Hold her up." the old hag commanded and Henry grabbed me from the hair."Ah," I yelped, staring at the wrinkled face of the woman. She must be Logan's mother.Her dirty, long nails brushed my chin as she said, "Great job in finding us, girl." she gave a haughty chuckle."Where did you keep my family?!" I yell as I struggled with Henry's tight grip."Oh," she grinned, "You're about to find out."She turns and begins to walk down the tunnel. Before I could take another breath, Henry knocked me out.: : :I woke up in the dead of night, jugding from the darkness that illuminated the night sky. I was kept in room that had the curtains blown by the slightest wind.I had no idea where I a
Lucian.It was night time when I dismissed Louis from my office. We figured that the only way we could get an upper hand is finding Logan's hideout. We could defeat them from inside out, that way.We decided to begin the search the next day. It was very late and the Pack house was as quiet as a graveyard. Everyone had trained all day so they must be stressed out and tired. I restrained myself from going to my room.I did not want to see Hazel and worst still, hear her try to make me marry Cassie. It hurt me to even think that she really wanted me to marry Cassie. Does she really not love me? I take to the couch in my office while my mind roamed with different thoughts.I would do all I can to find Logan's hideout tomorrow. It is the only way I can assure the Pack members because even if Hazel wants, I will not marry Cassie and no one can change my mind on that.I sleep off on the couch only to be awaken by a sharp pain that coursed through my chest, squeezing my heart so that it was d
Alicia.As a sister to Logan I do not support his and my mother's evil ways. I have never. All I've ever wanted is to be happy. I did not want power or even wealth. As a witch, everyone naturally assumes that we're the bad ones. I do not blame them, most witches actually use their powers for selfish things like my mother.She is power-hungry and would do anything to get that power. Luckily, she's a witch and a very good one at that which also means she could do whatever with her spells. It is very hard for a werewolf to get their hands on a witch and for this reason, Lucian did not hesitate to kill my mother many years back.She had killed his mother for reasons best known to her however when Lucian found out he did not stop until he found her and killed her on the spot, leading to his enmity with Logan who has thirsted for revenge ever since.And now here I am, against my own wish, impersonating Hazel and kissing her husband. I had no idea how we got to the bed but I knew that that I
Alicia.I run out of the Pack house against the wishes of the maids that Lucian had strictly assigned to be with me. It was easy for them to miss me as the fight was intense and every place was in disarray. Some of the humans were scurrying about for a hiding spot while others proved to be courageous and fought against Logan's troupes who were piling into the the gate in their numbers.I stood at the middle of the house and shut my eyes, my arms spread out against the gate as I whispered some chants.Many years back I was forced to learn some spells. I never wanted to be a witch but I had no choice. My mother wanted me to be just like her- surreptitious, vicious and cunning. So she taught me a lot of spells that she herself had invoked and I'd read multiple books to help in my enchantment.However I never used my powers. In fact, my mother and brother saw me as worthless. To them, I could only cast simple spells and nothing more. I prefer to endure all of the pain and treatment than
