" 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
After Lara left, I couldn't bear to be in Lycan's presence so I stepped out for sometime to have a moment to myself. I breath out shakily under the sun. My jaw setting. I was still standing, Unsure of what next to do. Lycan had pay me back in my own coins and nothing hurt more. I know I deserve it. He is not to blame. I shouldn't have messed up with Maynard. Not at all. Instantly my heart took another turn and I headed back to the big hall. I need to apologize to Lycan. He needs an apology. A sincere one. I was just about to open the door when I heard Maynard's voice that compelled me to stop but eavesdrop. " Lycan Yiu should calm down. you didn't know the whole Story " " The whole story? . Why would you grope and seduce my wife when you shouldn't? " That cold response from Lycan makes my heart shuddered. I quickly look away to breath. " You do not understand me. you should be by my side. You know I love Amelia before you go ahead to woo her with your cursed beauty " From where
" Don't do it again. I will never forgive you if you do " Lycan's soft voice compelled me to open my eyes and stare up his face. He was laying still on the pure quartz with me in his arms. " I'm sorry Lycan. I know I shouldn't have... try to go off to Merry pack that way " In response, he ease up from the Pure quartz and sat up to stare at me. His ominous eyes making me to feel vulnerable. His dark wet hair had pull over his face, framing one of his eyes sexily. I made to lower my lids but then I couldn't. He seem to have captivated me with his eyes and soul. " I was referring to my brother. If ever you try making out with Maynard , I won't forgive you " My heart immediately shuddered at the promise and warning. I gulped down hard when I witnessed the determination in Lycan's face. He had made this one slide but he won't permit and tolerate another. I nodded my head slowly and an uneasy smile breaks out from my face. Slowly I stood up from the pure quartz and enters the lake. My
No one speak for a long time. The tensed atmosphere finally makes me uncomfortable but luckily Anthea chuckled unexpectedly. The sound unpleasant because it's dry. I turn to cocked my eyebrows up in confusion. She seem to be fidgeting under Lycan's gaze. I caught her clenching her hands secretly. " Amelia... Actually it's a joke. Ethan and I are only here to accompany you back to Merry pack. You know the yearly banquet is just around the corner " I could feel the hostility and lies in her Words. My instincts tells me something different. " I know the yearly banquet is upon us. I will come by soon. Probably later today or tomorrow " I replied with a forced smile thinking that would ease the atmosphere but no. Anthea rolled her eyes impatiently. " For goodness sake Amelia! " She snapped. " You are coming with me right now. Merry pack needs you and not here in this lonely moon goddess forsaken cave " I was surprised at her outburst that I bite my lower lips quickly to stifled a gasp
The sound of the rain was a distraction. I am not too strong, like the others for I have skipped a lot of training session thanks to my clumsiness. This bad act of mine finally paid off. I couldn't overheard what Maynard wanted me to. I can't believe I'm shivering already in fear. I know Lycan is most powerful but I also know he has his weakness. Immediately fear clouded my mind. I stare up at Maynard. My heart thudding crazily against my chest. " Maynard please. You shouldn't be siding with humans. Lycan killed Jones to save me. to save us. he is your only brother. He loves you " " But he is selfish too Amelia. He stole you away from and I will take you back " Slowly I walk to Maynard so my lips would just be a few inches away from his. My words comes out in a low whispers. " Do you think I will come over to you after you give Lycan, my husband to the humans? " " You will have no choice Amelia " He replied and instantly my heart dropped to my stomach. He seem so sure of himself
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
