I can't breath. I can't muster any courage and I couldn't move an inch from where I sat frozen in shock with Lara who as well is just as stunned as I am. Lycan killed Jones right before my eyes without any hesitation and I get that a lot. He is a man of his Words after all. He had promised me he wouldn't spare anyone that messed up with me. Lycan had kept his promise and I couldn't even think about putting any blame on him. Murmurs from the other men who had already stopped driving too subside at once when they saw the fallen of their boss. They are quiet aware of my husband's rage so they stayed still in their cars without speaking. " Oh my goodness!... He's ... he's coming here " Lara's mumbled as we both watch Lycan coming towards the car. I stayed still in shock when my mate stopped at the car door, with his jaw tightly clenched. Slowly Lycan opened the car perfectly. He just have watched Jones do it and probably had learnt it in just a second. Lycan stretched out his palm t
" I already knew Larvene is the culprit. Never have I picture her so cruel. I thought she's your friend " Ethan said to me with a shrugged. He was walking me back to the cave of darkness and I could never be more grateful for him. He is the only family I have got now since father had forbidden me with Lycan throughly. Lycan is with us too but he's walking ahead. The evening sky is already here and we are returning to our home. I can't believe everyone is scared of me now. why? They all believe Larvene's words and blame me for the men's death. I would never do that to anyone. I care about everyone, damnit! " Was " " Was? " Ethan asked and I nodded. " Yes, was. Larvene stopped being my friend the day she tried throwing herself on my husband. " " She had a good reason though. Which lady would see Lycan myth and fail to fall for him? " Ethan's question brought a sigh out of my lips. I shook my head in the negative as I agreed to him. " You are right. No one will see Lycan and fai
The vision was hazy but I could still figured out the pure quartz falling, the ground producing lava and a man thriving to save everyone. Woodland is crumbling before my eyes and everyone is dying. Lycan Myth is our only savior because he's dashing around, flying and moving swiftly to take everyone to safety but then , when it's my turn to be saved, he was shot abruptly by someone from behind. I turn to see Maynard grinning wickedly, holding unto a gun. Lycan get down on his knees slowly and his dark, pitched hair turn white before he was captured finally. Shackles bound to his knees and wrists. Lycan was taken, our savior was captured. ***In a jiffy I sprang up from bed. My breath caught up in my throat. I look around frantically to realize it's all a nightmare. I'm still in the cave of darkness, my husband beside me sleeping but now he has awaken due to my scream. He sat up gently while staring at the horrified expression on my face. I can't seem to take off my mind off this ni
The warmth of the morning sunlight finally wake me up. I yawned a little before my eyelids fluttered opens very slowly. I was about to sit up when I realized Lycan is beside me. I couldn't believe it for I know he usually get up early. Gently I turn around to see him fast asleep. His thick eyelids were closed and his one hand is just over his face. His hair spread unto his pillow, covering the layers entirely. Instinctively my face give way to a smile. I couldn't help but admire him again and again whenever I lay my eyes on him. I reached out after many minutes of hesitation to pull over the hair that was obstructing his view away but I was out of luck. Just as I reached out, his eyelids slowly opens and I froze at once. I made to sprang up but he immediately captured me with his hand that caught my wrist and pull himself to me. For some seconds I couldn't breath. I only stare deep into his eyes, completely mesmerized by the beauty in them. " I...I thought you were asleep " I man
" I can't believe you talk me into coming out here when we have guests to attend to in the pack " Anthea mutters to Chester. They were standing just besides Amelia's mother tombstone. The vicinity far away from Merry pack. " I know. I just ...need to get away from her presence. I can't believe I lost my daughter to that enigma " He replied with his jaw set. " Just how I have lost her mother to King Frey in the past " " I thought you have passed this Chester. You can't continue to loath the poor lady. I think she is happy with Lycan and..." Swiftly Chester to his second wife and glare at her coldly. compelling the woman to stop speaking. " I will never accept Lycan as her husband. As long as I live I will oppose their marriage and make sure she never bored his baby " Anthea swallow hard at the disdain she saw on her husband's face. it reminds her of many years ago. As a lady she had fallen for Chester but the latter wouldn't grace her with his presence. instead he would pine and w
" Amelia! Amelia wait up " Ethan's voice came from behind but I didn't reply. The passage way is empty, luckily for me. I am out of breath and close to tears. I have nearly cheated on Lycan. how will I explain myself when I get home? oh no. I was about to take another turn when Ethan pulled me into himself immediately. He covers me with his arms and patted my back. " I thought we are siblings. won't you tell me now what is going on? " He whispers into my hair and I sobs against his chest. I wonder why fate has decided to go cruelly for me. I can't live without Lycan and I know he wouldn't think twice before calling our marriage off assuming I have make up with Maynard. " I don't know what to do Ethan. I really don't know what to do " Slowly my step brother ease me away from his embrace just to Stare inti my face. his eyebrows creased up together and he shook his head. " Don't tell me you mate with Maynard " " I almost " I answered before looking away. Ethan knows me so well. bo
" She has always been mine. we both shared a bond until you Interrupted us with that demonic cursed beauty of yours" That was Maynard's words and it woke me up. I opens my eyes to see Lycan standing just not far from the entrance. His jawline tightened and his eyes almost glowing. I know they have had a bad conversation about me. Lycan, thanks to the promise he made to me , he never made to grapple his brother or anything. They both turn now to stare at me. The tension in the air building up. Maynard's walks up to me and smile. The tension in the air was hard for me to bear. I have never prayed to be in a tight corner as this one. My heart began to thud crazily against my chest. I look from Lycan to Maynard. Their glare and enmity was matching. I would hate to be the reason behind two brothers who ended up killing each other. Maynard turn to me with a sigh. Now he pretended as though he isn't in for argument or fight but I could see through his facade. His tensing jaw makes it kn
" This is suspicious. Why would any human invite Lycan? I hope it's not Lady Katherine " My thoughts in turmoil. I am very sure the Maynard is dubious. He must have invited Lady Katherine into icy pack. Lycan should know better than listening to his brother or anyone. After listening to my father's words and all I have come to know no one loves Lycan. They will harm him if they have the chance. they will hand him over to the humans if they got the opportunity. I get up from the bed slowly and headed towards the waterfall. I could hear the sound of Lycan walking about in the dressing room so I smile in relief. On my way to the lake I chewed on my lower lips as I scolded myself for the uptempt time for groping Maynard. It isn't right in so many levels. I pray Lycan would forgive me because I fear he will try to get back with me on that. I get to the small lake and a smile etch my face. The soothing pleasant sounds of the drops is so overwhelming. Gently I get into the lake and swim f
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
