15 - Medea
Last Updated:
2023-05-19 19:00:21Theresa jolted out of her thoughts and turned around to find a maiden who was quite older than she was but still very young. She had thought there was no one else in the court and that she was all alone, and staring at the maiden, she realised that she had not been present during the meeting that had been held a few minutes ago.
Seeing how Theresa quizzically stared at her, the girl shot her a warm smile and said, "I'm Medea, I am also a ward of the alpha."
Theresa smiled back, finally glad that at least she had managed to earn herself a lycan friend. "I'm Theresa."
"I know who you are," Medea quickly said. "I mean... I saw the whole thing...I was outside…” she explained when she saw the confused look on Theresa’s face. “I am not really a fan of crowded places…” after Theresa nodded in understanding, Medea asked, “So you really do heal creatures?"
Theresa nodded. "Yes."
"Lycans don't do that," Medea

Moon's Call 16 - In the woods
Darius and Herrick moved through the dense parts of the woods, manoeuvring their way through the trees and bushes and rocks. "He should be here somewhere," Darius said."It still baffles me why any lycan in his right senses would choose to create an abode in these parts of the woods where danger lurks in every nook and cranny," Herrick said as he pushed a branch out of his path.Darius chuckled, "Well, Moon's Call is not just any lycan, is he? He seems to enjoy the thrill in these parts. I must admit that living in isolation has helped him hone his skills.""Still doesn’t make him any less outlandish," Herrick said. "And Darius... he has a name now, Lycidas.""Yeah... right," Darius replied curtly. "We might have to wait for him for a while to come around himself if we don't find him..." They ducked as a big owl swooped above them; its great wings flapping loudly. "...between you and I, this place gives me the creep," Darius said over his shoulder t

Elaine turned as she heard footsteps and visibly sighed in relief when she noticed it was the men. "Where have you two been? You are almost late for breakfast. You two kept everyone waiting," She was complaining when she suddenly went quiet when Lycidas appeared in the dining room behind them, rendering her speechless. "Oh, okay...now I get what you have been up to." She sheepishly said, softly clearing her throat. The men knew that she was pleased that they had been able to convince the lone lycan to come for breakfast, thus every sin was forgiven.Lycidas turned to her and acknowledged her with a subtle nod and she did the same. She turned to Herrick's pregnant mate, Karen, and said, "Karen, it seems we'll be needing an extra plate, and on your way back, please call in the others," She then whispered the last sentence so that the men didn't hear her. "...and also get Theresa in here."Karen nodded and exited the room. Elaine turned and was surprised to see Lycidas staring at her in

Medea walked in moments later and happily acknowledged everyone present in the room which was not unusual of her. Medea was nineteen winters just like Claire and she was spirited and very friendly. Although she was very easy-going and fun to be with, she had the trait of wanderlust by going off on her own into the woods to discover places and new creatures. She was the daughter of a sentry, and her mother had died several years ago, leaving her to cater for herself while her father was stationed at the west gate and barely had enough time with her.Elaine had chosen to care for Medea as her ward and that had made her part of the family too, however, she was not oblivious to the conflict between Medea and Claire for reasons she didn't know yet but she suspected the fault must be from Claire because she had always known her daughter to be domineering and narcissistic.Not to mention that Claire had wanted a coterie of docile maidens who exalted, did her bidding without a

Everyone watched Lycidas as he leaned down, picked up the chair and set it right while the boy muttered an inaudible “thank you” and nervously sat down, but warily pulled his chair away from Lycidas to keep some safe space between them. Claire shot him a glare causing him to cringe and sheepishly lower his gaze. He very well knew that Claire would cuff him severely when no one was around. She was that mean.Elaine smiled to ease the obvious tension that had hung long enough in the room. She stood up, and with the assistance of Karen, began to dish the food out but as she was about to dish out some to Lycidas, Claire surprised everyone by standing up with a winsome smile which was obviously meant to please or charm Lycidas. "Mother, I shall serve his." She offered as politely as she could.Elaine exchanged knowing looks with her husband, having telepathically communicated her concerns to him. When Darius nodded his reluctant approval, she passed the plate and ladle to her daughter who

"I've never seen anything like it before," Medea whispered mesmerized by thebeauty of the galaxy moving slowly in its transparent head.Berry's eyes finally settled on Theresa's worried face and he began jabbing one of its three fingers at her, gibbering as if accusing her in a language only she could understand. All heads diverted to Theresa who bit her lower lip nervously and cringed, turning a bit red in the face."Does it know you?" Karen was the first to ask.Theresa nodded and stared at Berry who was still hauling accusations at her. "It is mine."Claire snorted again. "Can this get any better? The weird princess gets weirder by the minute."Astrophel shot her a glare and she frowned at him."What is it saying?" Herrick curiously asked."It is mad at me," Theresa answered."Why?" Stella asked."It is obviously because I abandoned it in my room. I even forgot I brought him along," Theresa said ruefully.
Last Updated : 2023-06-16Moon's Call 21 - Theresa and Lycidas
Once they were alone, Theresa had a chance to scrutinize her supposed mate. His features were strong and his somewhat chiselled face was handsome. His eyes were beautiful and distinct and he had a fierce aura despite his quiet demeanour. She couldn't let her eyes wander to the rest of his body because she sure didn't know how to look at a man apart from his face anyway. Besides, she had almost no experience with the opposite sex, especially during courtship.Glancing down at her lap where she was nervously wringing her fingers, she tried to do away with the uncomfortable silence that hung in the air. "I'm Theresa..." She began feebly in an attempt to start a conversation.He turned to look at her, tapping lightly on the table top with his nails. "I know," He said impassively.She hesitated and asked: "And you are Lycidas?"He answered with a grunt.This was all awkward for her and she felt very nervous. "I heard you are a lone wolf; an omega to be

"What's the Amphisbaena?" Theresa who had risen from her chair and had watched the couple in concerned silence, finally asked, unable to contain her curiosity any longer. "I've never heard of it before.""According to history, the Amphisbaena was spawned from the blood of the Gorgon, Medusa. It's a serpent which has two venomous heads at the head and the rear, and one can hardly tell the main head from the rear head."Herrick met Darius outside the house and announced. "The two-headed serpents are approaching the village; we have to stop them now."Darius stared at the horizon then instructed: "Herrick, get Moon's Call as quickly as you can; we can't do this without him!" He turned to the other men gathered around him. "The others, with me!" He shifted into a wolf and Astrophel and the other men did the same then they all darted out of the village.Herrick shifted into a wolf and darted the other way in search of Lycidas while Elaine and Theresa came out

"She's lovely, isn't she?" Alethea crooned as she caressed the baby's cheek with her knuckles. King Adolph nodded trying to mask his wariness. Not that he was not pleased that he finally had a child and an heir to his empire, but he was just not really pleased that it had to be a girl. The kingdom was cruel and would eat her alive. He doubted that a female ruler would command as much respect as a male would and he was worried for the future of his daughter. As he stared down at the girl with bright brown eyes flecked with gold and features that had a promising beauty in the near future, he sighed and assured himself that he would be here to stand by her side and show her the ropes. He would even teach her how to use a sword and defend herself. He would make a beautiful warrior queen out of her. Alethea, his concubine nymph, placed a hand on his knee. "What worries you so?" She asked in concern, her lovely eyes searching his face. He always felt relief wash over him, anytime he look

Moon's Call 14 - The court
At the centre of Darius' court, Theresa stood, surrounded by a pack of lycans that she hardly knew. She felt uneasy and would have melted into the floor under the intense scrutinizing eyes if she could, but there was little she could do than wait there and await the hearing on her case.If nymphs had any disappearing gifts, perhaps, she wouldn't have hesitated to use them at this moment but there was nowhere to hide nor any place to go to. She was stuck here and that was it. She tried not to look anyone in the eye, lest all her resolve shattered and she would burst into the tears that had been welling up in her for years which she had been doing her best to keep at bay.The queen, after dumping her on a man who didn't want her for a mate or as anything had departed for Royal Isle at the break of dawn, barely bidding her goodbye, and now, here she was hoping she would fit in amongst these strange people while she silently prayed in her heart that they would be mor
