Episode 4 : The Fight

" But I'm about to get married to your step ... Brother " As soon as I speak out the words he clenched his jaw sternly. My breath come out in a rasp and I quickly lowered my eyelids to avoid staring into his icy eyes.

" Your smile, your passion, your love and your everything belongs to me for you are my true mate. " I couldn't reply him. I tried but failed to find the right word to say.

Lycan is definitely a possessive man , I'm sure he wouldn't spare anyone that comes near me. Do I want this type of toxic bond?

Luckily a knock came to my door at that moment, interrupting the tensed atmosphere. Lycan left my side and walk towards the window.

" I will be back " He said with a tone that was devoid of humor and he jumped off the window. I ran towards it just in time to see him making a dash towards the direction of the wood. I breathe out shakily while thinking about his words.

The knock came again but this time more harsher. I make a dash towards my dresser and I got dressed up in a short and a tank top before opening the door for Larvene, my friend, if I could call someone who always belittle me at every chance.

She is very beautiful with a long chestnut hair. Her skin was so fair and her lips plumped. Every He wolves desire to be her mate but no, Larvene had always wanted a man.

Just one Werewolf she wouldn't speak of. As a daughter of the ruler of Lane pack she was loved and respected by her father unlike me who would be forced to marry anyone as long as it benefits Merry pack.

" You just wake up? "

" Yes Larvene " I replied with a yawn and I walk out of my room. I do not want her to pick up any scent that could indicate Lycan's presence.

Now that I am getting to know the Big bad wolf, I'm starting to realize there is much more to his story that what the rumours had says.

" I came regarding what I heard " She said behind me. I stopped abruptly to face her oval white face that was framed by her brown hair. " You are not marrying Lycan Myth, are you? "

If I wasn't mistaken, the expression on Larvene's face speak out the fear she felt. Was she scared that I would be married to the Big bad wolf ? Was she concerned about my safety?

" I'm not certain. Not after I heard that Lycan had been killed by his brother "

What I received from Larvene was a gasp. She suddenly gripped my shoulder painfully, so tight that I winced out due to the pain I felt.

" Are you sure about this ? Lycan is Dead? "

Instantly the pain wither away as I get the wind of who Larvene might be crushing onto all this years. Many Powerful werewolves had came to Lane pack to seek her hand in marriage but Laverne had turn them all down, saying she had to find her true mate.

All this years I hope she wasn't waiting for Lycan Myth who has been growing on me already.

" I wouldn't be so sure. You can go ahead to Icy pack and check. I heard he was casted out last night so I'm sure their gate would be open now after so many years. "

Without waiting for any more invitation, Larvene race out of Merry pack like a lightening. She is more stronger than I am but I wasn't jealous about that.

She had a better father, a caring one than I did but still I never got envy. She had always been the Centre of attraction but I wave that away carelessly but now regarding Lycan I vow not to go soft with anyone.

" Amelia? " My father called upon me from behind. I turn slowly to face him with a polite smile and he nodded. " Maynard , Lycan's step brother is here to see you , he is here to claim you as his mate "

Just as always my father didn't wait for my reply before he walk away. I sighed roughly as I followed him to the main living room where guests would be attended to.

There I saw the mighty Maynard Myth. The true ruler of Icy pack but just as I have heard , Lycan hijacked that post from him.

He was as handsome as ever. Handsome in an understatement way, his basalt jaw and broad shoulders spoke of his strength.

He possessed a latent, leonine power. I heard he was Adore by almost everyone for his teutonic golden hair. It was a casual jumble but at the same time neat and flowing.

His crescent of moon eyebrows were thin and narrow. His Mariner blue eyes were orb round and gleam with surprised and vigour of youth.

He is mesmerizingly handsome too but not enough to surpassed Lycan. He has no tattoos on his face or hand. no one does except Lycan Myth.

He walk towards me at once and gently reached out to graze my cheek with his fingers. I pulled backward politely before he could make the contact. I know Lycan is somewhere around Merry pack. It would only cause a disaster if Maynard start groping me.

" Hello " I greeted softly. My words comes out in a whispers for I was already exhausted by the whole drama.

i knew I can't refuse Maynard Myth, not until Lycan came to my rescue. The emotion in Maynard's eyes were differ from that of Lycan's.

The latter's emotions was just as frozen and Icy as himself while Maynard's held the warmth and love that I have always yearn for.

Now here is a thing. My heart and Brain was having an argument at that moment. I couldn't seem to agree on anything anymore.

My heart strangely was on Lycan even though he was the coldest man I have ever met or heard of while Maynard was ... I do not know. He only stood staring at me as though I am some sort of goodness.

Suddenly the thought hit me hard and my jaw drops open.

" Have you ever met me before today? " I asked curiously and he nodded.

Peering closely towards Maynard , I realized he was Maynard, my long lost Best friend who part way with me fifteen years ago.

The strange boy I have met at the outskirts of Merry pack. We both built the secret passage to my room together and we have had a very pleasant time together until he left one day without returning.

" May ?" I called in a shaky voice and to my wildest surprised he nodded in response. Great relief washed over me like never before.

I have been waiting for this moment, this reunion the whole time. Now I did what I was expected to do, what I wanted to do and what Lycan had forbidden me to do.

I walk into Maynard's embrace and he wrapped his hands around me protectively.

" I will never let you go anymore Amelia. You are mine now " He vow determinely into my hair.
