" The quantity of Maynard's blood in Lycan's veins isn't too much " Ethan began as we stood in the room. " We would need two things for this mission Amelia " I listened with rapt attention to Ethan's words. This is about my husband, the father of my child. " It's dangerous Amelia but we got to try it " " Ethan will you please stop making me feel scared. What is going on? " " I know a trick " " Let's hear it " " We gonna pulled out Maynard's blood by slashing Lycan's wrist " " Bullshit! " I exclaimed loudly. " His silver stream will ooze out too. Maynard's blood has mixed with Lycan's..." " We gonna pulled out Maynard's blood with the magnetic stone " I frown in confusion. Magnetic stone? Does that even exist? All of a sudden I remembered and I shuddered." That's the only artifact Merry pack has. Surely you won't steal from Father just to save Lycan " I replied in horror and I watched my brother shake his head." Saving Lycan is much more important than any other thing. If th
" That is a good idea. Do you think we can do that Ethan? " " Why not? That is if Lycan permits me though. You know he owns the Cave " My stepbrother and I are in the kitchen having a conversation over our dinner. Yeah, Lycan has been sleeping all through the day. His hair has gradually regained its black normal color and this makes me not to worry. He will wake up soon. I know." What about your mate? You never even talk about her " After hearing this Ethan looks away and sighs. " She's fine. Married. " I gasped at his confession. ' How could that be? No lady ever marries anyone that's not fated for her, right? ' " It happens sometimes " Lycan's voice came from the doorway and I just shivers " Slowly I turn to see my husband standing at the entrance. He still got his trouser on but his upper body is bare. I was shocked to see him alive and well even though I have been expecting him to wake up. " Lycan " I mutter in stupefied horror and he smiles in response. His gaze shi
I finally get out of the lake. Lycan had left minutes ago after pleasuring me. I goes straight to dress up and I emerges later on to the kitchen.There I saw my husband eating his meat alone. The ones he had on his plates hasn't been cooked. Infact it has blood dripping from it. I figured Lycan must have hunt for it not long. " Bon appetit " I said softly as I walk pass him to get some water." Hmm thanks " He replied with his mouthful. I noticed his eyes on me all through. Finally I turn to stare at him and I caught him smiling secretly. " Lycan? " He look away, refocusing on his meal. His smile never vanished though. I saw his hair falling forward to covers his left eye in an intimidating way. " I can't get enough of you even till now. Should I come on? " He asked and I chuckled. " Lycan! " " Alright, alright. Alpha misses his dad you know " I chuckled at his teasing and I blushed gently again. That moment Ethan decided to walk in with a smile on his face. " What's up with
Maynard's expression said it all. He is stunned to see Lycan walking. I know he never expected him to be awake after his body has been polluted. " Impossible " He mutters and Lycan scoffed. " This is unreal. Lycan should be fighting for his life right now " " That's so you Maynard. Get the hell out of my Cave " Maynard didn't react and I realized he is doing his math. All of a sudden he frown very deeply and made to get hold of me but Lycan only pushed him off so savagely. " You don't touch my wife. Get out " " I will be back " Maynard promised with his jaw setting. " I swear to you Lycan, I will come and this time I will succeed in killing you and taking away your wife " It's a threat but to Lycan it's an Empty words. He only scoffed lightly, so sure of himself. " I will love to see you try Maynard. I will love to see you try " Maynard stare at me for sometime then he left rather angrily. When his reproaching steps faded away I let out a sigh. I didn't move away from my husb
" What is it? " Lycan asked me softly as I dressed up for dinner. The sun has set already and my step brother has set the table.I never know I have been frowning until my husband comes up behind me. He took away my dress and caresses my cheek tenderly. " What is wrong? I could feel your anger from here darling " He whispers and I let out a sigh.Slowly I step forward, breaking off the physical contact. I am mad at Avila for rejecting my brother. Who said he is weak? He is the one who had stayed by myself all through the roughy times. When Lycan left, Ethan keeps me company and when Lycan was dying, the sane Ethan brought a great suggestion in healing him. I love him and he is perfect. Avila should know his worth. She should never covet the big bad wolf. I turn to stare at my husband and I extended my hand to receive my dress but he won't give it to me." Lycan come on " I protested softly, unable to match his gaze. " What is going on? Why are you mad? " " You have your powers,
Silence fell in the kitchen at once after I made my claim. Ethan's expression wasn't what I have expected. I had thought he would be pleased but I am so wrong. He was stunned. He stood up from the chair and stare hard at me." What is going on Amelia? " " You can ask your mate who never knows your worth " I blurted out angrily. " She had confessed her true feelings to me earlier today. I won't be an hypocrite anymore Ethan. She didn't belongs with you " " Amelia will you shut up? Avila is still healing. Give her some break " I jutted up my chin in anger but then I let out a sigh and gulped down hard. " Good. I will give her some break then " I walk towards Avila who is short of words. " My brother is my strength and solace when I lost my husband in the human region. If anything happens to him I will never forgive you, never. " I walk out of the kitchen and goes into my room. There I sat on the bed and swallow hard. Lycan isn't back from where he has been. I must have angered hi
The cold breeze was blowing hard when Lycan and I returned to the foot of the cave. When we draw nearer we met , to out awe, Larvene standing just beside a pure quartz.Immediately I frowned when I saw her but Lycan didn't let out any expression, as always. Instead he pulled me more closer to himself then approached his brother's wife. The lady was shivering under the cold. Now that I stood a few steps away from her I realized she was putting on only her nightdress. " Lycan " She said softly when she saw my husband. Slowly I detached myself away from the big bad wolf and stare at my past friend. " Hmm? " " Don't start Amelia. I'm here for help and not for your husband " Larvene reported and I frowned slightly. " It's Maynard, your doing " " I did nothing. Maynard is only crazy " " He is crazy about you. You are the one who makes him thinks there will be a chance for him once I am out of the way " My jaw flopped open at her words and I rolled my eyes. " I never meant those wo
I was waiting in the kitchen when Lycan came into it. His eyes shows no expression but when he turn to Larvene he sigh. " Go home, Maynard is worried " with those words my husband turn to me. " Join me in bed later Amelia. I need you " Lycan walk off and I stood staring at his retreating back in concern. When he completely went into our room I let out a sigh. " You heard the big bad wolf. You should go back. Your husband is not a problem anymore " I made to walk out but Larvene was quick to stop me with her words. " How do you feel... When Lycan touches you? " I let out a sigh before turning around very slowly to stare at her. The expression of misery evident in her eyes. I goes slowly to sat on the chair and I stare at her in silence. " I feels ... I can't describe it. It's the perfect feelings ever " " And when he make love to you? " I swallowed hard at this but then she said. " I'm sorry, I don't mean to pry but, I wish to know all this. I wishes every day, minutes that I
The sky rumbled loudly and I know we will be having rain soon. Maybe the rain that will stop the same time Lycan's heartbeat did. The morning sun has Revealed itself but still we didn't move. I pulled back from him to stare into his eyes. All i could see is his lifeless pupils and pale lips. I reached out to touches his face which went so cold and i sighed shakily. " Lycan " I mutters while weeping gently. " Lycan, oh no " He pulled my hand away from his face and hug me Instead. He circled his hands around my waste that moment and kissed my forehead. " I'm fine now that you are with me " He took me up and and carried me just like always, easily. Lycan headed to the Cave and I shut my eyes when he do so. When we get to the top,he placed me down and stirred me Towards the lake where he undress me Very tenderly. With his fingers brushing my skin I could only moan softly. At last he pulled off my dress and we entered the lake together. The water a little warm to my liking. Lycan k
Lycan's Fall was a huge blow to everyone that has come and I as well. Never have anyone though he would have a failing health later. When he get down on his knees and vomited silver, I know he is gravely ill. To make the situation worsen his black hair immediately turn White and I gasp shakily. The people who have intended to take Maynard into the silver chamber now has their shoulders sagged in regret. All woodlanders obviously regretted ever pushing Lycan away and thinking bad about him. He is the best man in woodland but no one ever like him. The most humblest of us all but he isn't taken seriously. I bent down to him and touches his arms. Ethan had quickly come forward to receive my baby from me as I wail over Lycan. At last Maynard walks forward and sigh sadly in pretence. " I am sorry Amelia that you have to face this but it's Reality. Now that Lycan is dead, we should prepare for his burial and other..." My Palm flashed out in a jiffy, hitting Maynard's cheek so hard t
" What is going on Lycan? " I asked my husband softly. This time I feel inclined to speak out. " Lycan? " " I will tell everyone what I did Lycan. I will clear your name. They will get to know who you truly have been. Brother please. Crescent is also your nephew. You both have a bond. He loves you " Maynard's voice seem to have effect on Lycan. When my husband take his time to speak,I know exactly he would accept the proposal. " Lycan please..." I began but he ignores me completely and said to his brother. " Good. You got it, you got the Maynard. Fixed the crowd and I will descend my Cave to work my wonder on your son " My heart fell into my tummy after hearing this but Maynard was relieved. He only cares about his son. Of course I have him not to blame. As a father it's his duty to watch out for his son but never at the expenses of another person's life. Before I could muster up courage to speak or decipher my next movement, I heard Maynard says. " In an hour's time Lycan. I
" Lycan I can't live without you or our son. There must be a way you both could live. Please " I am on the bed now and our son has been taken to the room where Lycan had kept his mother and father for resurrection. I know what would occurs next but somehow I do not wish for it. I love Lycan so much. I have Choose him above everything and everyone. I won't be able to survive the huge blow if he died. He sat beside me with a small smile on his face. His face always was drawn and tired. " Amelia..." " No Lycan, please " I cut in gently. I tried to say up and choked back the bile in my throat. " Lycan there must be another way. We can go to the sacred hill together and begged the moon goddess for another chance " " To hell with the moon goddess. She placed a curse on my son and I. There is nothing we need from her anymore. It won't change anything my love " " Yeah " i agreed gently. " It won't change anything Lycan but you can do it. I know you have the strength and ability to do
The soothing water doesn't calm me down anymore. The cool breeze did nothing but infuriated me. I sat beside the lake on a pure quartz and tears was streaming down my cheek. I can't believe my only son had died. I haven't held him for too long. The moon goddess did me bad and I will never forgive her. Lycan hadn't succeeded in calming me down. I have left the suffocated room myself. The soft footsteps get to my hearing and I perceived the scent of Avila. When sue drew nearer I have already known her purpose and I am not ready for it. " I want my husband " I said abruptly with the tone that signify finality. " I want Lycan and no one else " Lycan had refused to talk to me. The morning had folded into afternoon and by the cool breeze I know it's already evening. I won't be cheering up until I have a conversation with the man I married. Avila saw my state and she reverse her footsteps. After some minutes I heard her walking away. Another sob broke out from my lips and I wish I c
" As a mother you should be by your son's side. Is everything okay ? " Ethan's voice came from behind me and I sigh. I smile at him as he walk further towards me and lowered himself beside me. " Lycan is with him. I'm sure he will be fine " " Alpha loves his father so much. He wakes up a while ago but drifted back to sleep when Lycan rock him. I have never seen a bond as that " I smile softly at this. The cool breeze blowing upon us. " So how is father? You saw him today, right? " " Yes, I do. He is healed up now. There is a ceremony going on later tomorrow night for the icy brother's babies. Lycan said Alpha won't be attending. " " It's understandable Amelia. Lycan still would love to know whether Alpha will be curse or not " I look away at this. My jaw gritting together in agony. " Do you think everything would have been much better assuming I have rejected Lycan's proposal? " " Amelia... " " If I have refused to marry him, would woodland have been a better place Ethan? W
Yes! I got it. He has been there often in the wood when I goes off for some errands. I met him couples of times when I have cried endlessly after my mother's death. He has consoled me. He would only appears just so mysteriously and wipe my tears off.I dropped my gaze at how beautiful he is. My real father had been by my side without me knowing. I move very closely to Lycan. He look at me for sometime before pulling me into his embrace. " I will see to the water king Frey. In the main time prepare for a good, tangible reason to why you have try to wipe out all woodlanders " Lycan pulled me away from him but keep me by his side. He stared at me for sometime before saying. " You should stay behind. It's unadvisable if you tag along with me too " " Lycan, no. " " You are a werewolf too my love. Stay here. I will be back in no time. You should take a seat " He look up to my father and was about to ask for a comfortable place for me to sit but I interrupted him." I'm fine Lycan. I
My eyes fluttered open and I sighed softly. My vision caught Lycan standing over the window with the baby in his arms. A smile curled up at the corner of my lips when I saw Alpha wearing his new clothes. Lycan must have work all night to make out baby this one. I turn slowly to see the baby crib. A frown appears on my face as I wonder how much creative my husband turns out to be. Slowly I stood up and mutters to him good morning. He gave me my son and hugs us both together before placing a light kiss on my forehead. " Good morning darling " I smile into my son's eyes. His brilliant pupils staring back at me so innocently that I have to hold back tears. " Isn't he so adorable, Lycan? " I whispers to my husband who nodded. He cupped his palm around my neck and kiss me hard on the lips. " Just like his mother " " I don't think Alpha takes anything after me. See, he even have his father's beauty and hair. Now I'm jealous " " You don't need to be " My husband replied with a smile
I know I am expected to feel frustrated but I wasn't. I carried my baby in my arms and tried consoling him to stop wailing. His father is nowhere to be seen. Lycan had left for where I couldn't fathom and it seems his presence alone is alpha's antidote. " Come on Alpha, please..." I begged but my baby only continues wailing. Avila and Ethan had left to make the dinner while I was made to Carter for the baby. Tears finally welled up my eyes when exhaustion began to seep through me. I just gave birth to Lycan's baby and he did nothing but left? " Come on Alpha. You should listen to your mother " Ask though he had read my words, Alpha mysteriously stopped crying abruptly. I let out a sigh and smile but then I noticed the man in the doorway. Lycan! My heart sank when I realized Alpha had only stop because of Lycan's presence. I swallowed hard and watched as he walks up to me. I didn't speak to him at all. I only gave him the baby and mutters weakly about going to take a bath. Wh
