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

Moon's Call 22 - Amphisbaena
"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
Moon's Call 1- The Queen's secret
"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 2 - The death of the king's concubine
“What? The dire wolves got your tongue?! How dare you walk into my chambers like you own the place?! You came to spy on me, didn’t you?!" the queen hissed. "You good for nothing scheming whore! You have had my husband and now, you would have my throne?!" Alethea quickly shook her head in fear, still moving back. "No, no, I swear to the gods, my queen, I didn't come to spy on you! I swear!" "Then why have you come here?!" The queen snapped, obviously enraged. Alethea moved backward into the lounge since the queen kept on moving towards her in a slow but steady menacing way. "I have only come to inform you that I have been delivered of my child." The queen snorted in displeasure. "So, the whore finally puts to bed, uh?" She stopped now and crossed her arms underneath her naked firm bosom. "So, I figure that you have finally pleased my desperate husband well by giving him what he most desires, haven’t you?" She asked tersely. Alethea hesitated. "It's a girl." She swallowed hard, hop
Moon's Call 3 - The princess-servant
"Just look at her blossom like a flower in spring." The queen in distaste said as she watched Theresa from one of her windows. She was walking out of the castle with a gathering basket on her arm. “I hate to admit that with the physical attributes of Adolph and that nymph, she turned out to be the fairest in the kingdom… but she still comes second place to me.” She finished haughtily. Lucas who was scribbling something down on a scroll, looked up for a moment. "She's seen eighteen winters, Ursula, what do you expect?" The queen turned away from the window and stared at him. "Eighteen winters and yet she finds no mate." Her voice was laced with mockery. Lucas sighed and put down his quill. "Yeah, and thanks to you influence, no lycan will woo her because of you. They all avoid her as if she is the very plague." Ursula snorted and poured herself a drink, then sat down on the furry-long, one-arm couch in the lounge. "I believe my subjects fear and respect me and so do they towards my

Moon's Call 5 - A mermaid in the rocks
Theresa walked along the bush path and down towards the stream where the wood nymphs had their daily bath. She saw two barely-clad nymphs being wooed by a muscular satyr holding a flute and she called out in a cheerful greeting, "Morning, forest nymphs."The nymphs were beautiful creatures who lived in the forest. They were rather renowned for their melodious voices which inevitable pulled lustful satyrs to them. Unlike their distant cousins who inhabited other parts such as the water, caves etc., the forest nymphs were frequently seen more than their sisters.They enjoyed being great teases to the satyrs who enjoyed coming after the nymphs to woo and seduce them. The satyrs were known to be good flute players and couldn't resist the voices of the beautiful nymphs when they sang. Although being almost half human and half goats from the waist down, they still were magically pulled to nymphs who were of a different species.The nymphs turned to look at Theresa and one of them whispered
Moon's Call 6 - Saving a Mermaid
Theresa stared at the mermaid in awe. She had heard of the creatures that lived in the unknown utopia of the depths of the sea but no one had really seen much of them, unlike their distant cousins who lurked in the rocky parts of the sea and lured sailors to their watery death with their alluring voices and personal hallucinations.This mermaid before her had a beautiful tail that looked so soft and glimmered as if the light of the sky reflected off it. The end of the tail moved like it had its own mind. It was as if she could run the thin and transparent end of the powerful tail on her face and her skin would not be bruised in any way. It was so resplendent; no wonder the mer-people always never revealed themselves at all to others, except of course when no one was there.This helpless mermaid had long hair which was adorned with different types of gems, very rare shells and beautiful bones of dead sea creatures that were yet to be discovered. Her breasts were covered by a thin film
Moon's Call 7- Berry
Theresa placed the basket on the floor and went on her knees to look under the bed. Fortunately, the creature was still where she had left it. She could not exactly see its features because the room was dark neither could she hear it because the wind howled crazily outside, some of it slipping through the cracks in the wooden window into the small room to seldom flicker the flame of the candle which she had put on a moment ago after peeling off her wet clothes and donning a new dry one.She could however tell that the creature was still there due to his fluctuating dull light coming from its berry-like head which was almost twice the size of its body. The dimming light indicated the state of the creature that it was sick and she was willing to help it out.She stretched her hand under the bed and pulled out the fur she had wrapped it in. On her knees, the creature only reached her stomach which meant that she would be like a giant compared to its incredibly small size. Its eyes opened
