" 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
" Amelia? Will you... Uh...come over to the dinning room for dinner tonight? " Ethan asked and I grin to him. " Sure. I will be up, right behind you "My step brother was stunned by my action. Truth Is I have never grin at anymore or smile, not to even grin since a month now. The night was crawling in and I sat still in my bed just as I have done for the whole month. Today makes it one month and one day I have been back from the human region. After arriving to woodland since ten years we woodlanders have focus on regaining our normal daily routine. Everyone succeeded in putting the past behind us but I will never be the same. Lycan is been taken. Nothing will be the same for me. After many minutes and days, turning into month every woodlanders seem to have forgotten entirely about what has happened. Infact they never mentioned Lycan's name anymore. I wonder how and why they could did that. I never step out of my room and I kept my pregnancy a top Secret. I blind at night. Ever
" You are still pregnant Amelia " Ethan dropped the bombshell that afternoon and I gritted my teeth.I couldn't reply because there is nothing I could say to keep the truth away. Instead I look away and return my focus on my book which I have picked up from the pack's library. Slowly, at the corner of my eyes I saw Ethan walks to me. He sat on the bed just besides me and pulled away the book from me. I didn't protest. I allowed him to have his way when his hands comes up to my blouse, lifting it up a little to take a peek on my tummy. " It's protruding. What's going on? Do anyone lay with you when you were held Captivated? " " No " " So? Who owns the baby? " He asked with his eyes pinned on mine. I will hate to say I never love my step brother. I have come to rely only on him. After Maynard had announced Lycan's death I have returned back to my shell. I won't remarry, I have informed my dad firmly. I have warned him I will leave for the Cave of darkness if he dares push me to
I walk ahead, out of my room and through the hall. It's dark already and it's a starless night. The breeze Splashing across my face, blowing back my hair. I put on my best dress and styled my hair lovingly. I have a mission and I plan to carry it out that night. A smile was plastered on my face as I emerges outside where my small family was waiting for me. " Amelia " Ethan called softly. He comes up to me and take my right hand in his. I could tell he is upset about the new sudden decision and that he is concern about my health. " Let's go. Everyone is waiting " I heard my dad said. I move away from Ethan and the journey began just like that. " I don't know what Maynard has with dad. He never think twice when Maynard ask for your hands in marriage " Ethan whispers to me as we headed to icy pack and I shrugged my shoulder." Dad hate the big bad wolf for me " I replied softly. " He hates if I give birth to an enigma like him " Just before Ethan could reply me we arrived to icy pa
I drifted awake and I moan weakly. I am unaware of my surroundings. Not where I am. But I could feel I laid on a bed. It's comfy and familiar. I stirred lazily and opens my eyes very slowly. I felt his palm on my tummy and I smile unconsciously. I covers his hand with mine as I look around. All of a sudden I snapped back to reality. The sleepiness in me vanished into the wind and I sprang up from the bed. Lycan is before me. He sat on the bed , staring at me with that unblinking ominous eyes of his. I gulped down hard at his steady and silence gaze. Now I look around and I realized we are back in his Cave.I shuddered slightly and I back off away from him. This man right before me isn't real, right? He won't just come back unexpected and...and grant my biggest wish, right? " I will. I'm back wife " He said and I broke down in tears. Goosebumps overwhelmed me and I slowly goes to him. " Oh Lycan... Lycan " I threw.y hands around his neck and hug him very tightly with the fear t
The night is here already and the cool breeze is the only soothing natural phenomenon I could get. I stood before the window staring out. My hands folded under my breast and my thoughts were miles away. I couldn't hear anything from the werewolves and I worry. What has happened to the people? The night lights I usually saw from the Icy pack ahead are no more. I began to think fearfully about my husband. Has he killed anyone in the woodland? Can Lycan do that? We have returned from the flower garden and he had left to take his bath. He loves keeping his tidiness. With the time alone I have, I used to think about the fate of all werewolves. Lycan wouldn't have killed anyone except his father, right? I mean... They deserve it if he murdered them. We all left him for dead in the human region. We dished him. But... Lycan won't do that, right? He saved himself later on. He returns unscratched and able. He can forgive us after all. My thoughts were finally interrupted by the incomin
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
