" 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
