The sky has finally give way to the rain which has been threatening to pour down earlier. I sat in the couch trying to keep warm. My lips quivering from fear and worry but not cold. I have left Lycan in his room because I figured he needs some privacy. I have checked on Maynard and he haven't open his eyes. I wonder how much he must have been tortured to Make him goes all weak in such way. The thought of how to stop Lycan From dying for the werewolves now clouding my senses. I won't let him leave now after we have found each other ten years after separation. All of a sudden I overheard the bustles coming from the kitchen. My face distorted Into a frown at this sounds. I have left Lycan in his room and Maynard also in his. So who will be the cook at an odd hour as this? I stood up from the couch I sat on and headed towards the kitchen with my step taken with care. When I reached the door knob the scent swirl into my nostrils and I sigh. I recognized that smell anytime and anywh
I was dressed up in Lycan's pajamas and I walk into Maynard's room to check on him but he was still asleep. I feel his pulse to be sure he is still alive. Now I am begining to worry about him. I was Still checking on me when Lycan opens the door and walk in. " The dinner is ready " He said with a lot of frown that discouraged me. I look away from him with my hair falling down my shoulder. " I won't be taking any dinner " I replied but his response was to walk forward to me and grabbed my wrist. His eyes burning with fury and hid jaw tensing. " Out there Amelia to eat " " I won't be taking anything Lycan! " I said angrily, freeing myself from him. " I don't want anything from you. If you want your baby then fine! Once I gave birth to him I will locate you and handed him over to you " I was frustrated and unhappy, extremely. Lycan is so willing to let me go. That knowledge makes me feel very miserable. I sniffed back tears and look away from him. Now his face was without express
" He won't be waking up anytime soon. Lot of bones broken and his wolf terrified to emerges. They must have torture him cruelly " We are in Maynard's room and Lycan just checked on his brother. I was sitting on the bed's edge. My shoulder sagged frustratedly. I could only imagine how much pain Maynard must have gone through. Now his wolf wouldn't emerge because he is scared if getting hurt again. " Is there anyway he could be treated? Werewolves heal in just hours " Lycan stare at me fur sometime. A sigh escaping his lips. He could see how miserable I am. After taking our dinner we have retired to Maynard's room with Lycan in his vet doctor's mode. " I can hear the wails from other woodlanders Amelia. They are somewhere in this human region. Crying for help. Wanting to be saved. I shouldn't have left home. I have a feelings none of this would happen happen " " It wasn't anyone's fault Lycan. I figured after you left they have evaded woodland. But those rulers and others could h
I couldn't sleep but my husband is. I can't be sure though but his eyelids were closed and his breathing even. I have been thinking too much about our fate and those of the woodlanders. I sighed and turn around then I nuzzled closer and sigh again. After many failed attempts to fall asleep I gave up. I get up from the bed and headed out but when my fingers was wrapped around the doorknob I get the question from my husband. " Where are you off to? " I turn around to see him sitting up waiting for me to answer his question. Slowly Lycan stood up when he saw I wasn't replying. He took his slow strides to me and touched my cheek tenderly. " Can't sleep? " " Hmm " He wrapped his hands around me after hearing my answer. " Do you want me to make love to you? That might help in luring you to sleep " He offered softly and that voice of him already aroused the lust in me. I stood on a tiptoe and claim his lips with mine. His plump soft lips making me to go almost crazy. " Come here "
My eyes fluttered open and I look around to see I am alone in the bed. I slowly stood up and get myself clean up. Luckily for me my nose wasn't bleeding or anything. I feel energetic and refreshed. After dressing up I walk into Maynard's room to check on him but I couldn't find him which makes my heart dropped to my stomach. I swiftly evicted the room. Unable to breathe as I was stunned. When I emerges into the living room I saw him, Lycan and Maynard. I had to stop abruptly when the two turn to stare at me. my jaw flopped when I saw the look on Lycan's face. He is pale and his skin more whiter. No doubt about it, he had healed Maynard with his powers. I dashed at him immediately punching him hard on the chest. Lycan didn't save himself. Instead he let me vent my anger. " How dare you put yourself on the Line! What can I do about you to make you listen " " I'm sorry " He whispers, pulling my hands into his. " I'm sorry " It took many minutes before I could look into Maynard's
" I am there to ask you Lycan. Is it true that you are not human? " That was lady Katherine's question after thousands of seconds of silence. The question that put off everyone. Maynard and I soon turn to Lycan to hear his reply. I could see him setting his jaw. His breath even. I turn to Maynard to see him trying hard not to laugh. This comes to me by surprise. I never know the situation was funny until I stare at the first son of Myth." Lycan is in for a scolding eh? " He mutters and back off. Maynard retired back to the window where he lean on the wall and fold his hands on his chest to watch how everything unfold." Mother you should calm down " Lycan was saying. " I know Smith must have pushed you to do something crazy but that isn't a way " " So he is telling the truth, right? You are a Lycan and not human? Show me. Pull out that ugly fangs and claws you got behind that pretty face of yours " Now Maynard pushed himself away from the wall in anger. His smile vanished into th
" Be careful when dealing with. It's not an easy task since they all knows your weaknesses. Keep your eyes opens. At night, attack " That has been lady Katherine's advise before she left. Lycan love her. I could see how he stare at her. He is the man with the purest heart anyway. After talking about the mission for hours we finally agreed for Maynard and Lycan to do the rescuing. " I will come along. I can help too. My wolf is fierce nowadays " I offered eagerly but the two men only stare at me as though I was speaking in a riddle. " No you won't " Lycan responded with a small wave of his hand. " There this no way I would be risking your life anymore " " No Lycan. I am capable of protecting myself "" Alright. I should go ahead to get ready " Maynard said instead, walking away. " No you can't. Only a drop of silver Amelia and you will go down on your Knees. I won't bet on luck when it comes to your life " Lycan continues anyway. I was upset. Lycan never believe in me. I jutted u
" You should stop crying Amelia. Your wolf will be weak " Ethan advised me but I didn't reply. I sat down on the floor dejectedly. People walking about to arrange how to return home but I wasn't feeling like returning." The van to take us home will be ready in no time. Relax, okay? " Still I didn't reply. After a very long time the van was ready. I caught the sight of Smith walking out from the building to have a conversation with Maynard. " He is still alive. I should have known Lycan has many lives. How come he didn't die when your blood was injected into his blood stream? " My heart dropped at this and it took another turn immediately. Now I could see the beauty around me. The airs caressing my cheek. " Shit! He will die. He will eventually be dead if you keep..." " Nevermind Maynard. I want that silver in his vein. I think I can drain all those precious liquid from his vein. He would die after that, right? " I watched as Smith asked Maynard with a grin. The two speaks much
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
