I cleaned my eyes and pinched my skin to see if it was a dream, but it wasn't. It was truly Ryan, his dark curly hair and his pink lips, the chain on his neck, and the favorite thing I like about him, his mode of dressing. He had everything Intact as usual.
But wait, what is he doing here? Is he a werewolf, or a Lycan?
He was walking through the woods with a gun in his hands. I wondered what he is using the gun to do.
But what if he is a hunter, and that's the reason no one is allowed to pass through the gate?
It was getting late already, the moon was already coming out. I don't know if I should meet him, or if I should run away from him.
But what if this is my chance, a chance for him to finally notice me?
A part of me wants to meet him, and another part of me wants to run.
He is someone I know, and I can't run away from him. And If I meet him, we would be together.
So I'm left with no choice but to listen to the part of me that wants to meet him.
But I have one problem, there's no way I can climb the gate which has wires around it.
I looked around to see if I could get anything that will help me, but there wasn't. Just then, I had the thought of transforming. If I transform I would be able to climb through, so it's what I'm going to do.
I took a deep breath and slowly I was transforming. My bones began to crack, my veins began to change color. I fell on the ground and groaned, I howled and that was when I knew I was fully transformed.
My howl caught Ryan's attention, and he was looking around the woods.
Without thinking twice, I began to climb the gates, It wasn't too high, so In a minute I would be down.
But as I got to the middle, someone began to pull me down. I looked to see who it was, and I was shocked when I noticed it was a guard.
He kept dragging me and didn't care if I might get hurt.
After successfully pulling me down, I stood and tried to run, but something sharp pierced my skin.
I felt dizzy until I passed out.
**
The rays of the sun shined brightly, and I was able to feel it. I tried stretching my hands, but I wasn't able to.
I opened my eyes, at first everything was blurry, and when l was finally able to see clearly, I found out that my hands were tied. I tried moving my legs, but it was also tied.
I looked around and saw I was in an empty room. I and the chair I was tied to, were the only thing inside the room.
I tried recalling what happened yesterday, and why I'm being tied to a chair, but the only thing I could remember was when a sharp object was pierced into my skin. I tried remembering what happened before then, but I couldn't just. And due to that, I develop a headache.
But there was one thing left for me to do, one thing a person would do if he or she is in my shoes.
Shouting for help; That's what I have to do. I'm tied to a chair In an empty room, I can barely remember what happened to me. So this is the one thing I should do.
I shouted for help three times, but I got no response from anyone. I tried again, this timer screaming at the top of my voice, but still no response from anyone.
I'm not the kind of person who gives easily, so I kept on shouting, hoping that someone would hear.
I didn't get any response, so I gave up.
A lot of thoughts filled my mind. Thoughts like, what if I was kidnapped? What if I'm just dreaming?, What if I'm in heaven?
But I can't be tied to a chair in heaven, so where I'm I?
I became worried, my palms were sweaty. My face was covered with sweat, due to the heat.
I'm sure my parents will be worried about me, I thought, and that was when I remembered everything that happened.
I remembered seeing Ryan, climbing the gate and a guard pulling me down. I remembered there was a warning, which I read but heed to.
So now I get what happened to me, so maybe I deserve to be here. Because I was disobedient, but it wasn't my fault, I was just curious.
And just when I lost all hope, the door opened revealing a guard. He was wearing armor, and a sword was in his hands.
I sighed knowing that there was still hope. The guard looked familiar, or was he the one that pulled me down?
"Were you the one that pulled me down last night?"I asked, not minding the fact he is a guard.
He walked in my direction and began to untie y the ropes that were tied to me.
I smiled as he untied it. Not because I'm finally going to be free, or because he is a handsome guard, but because it tickles, the ropes tickle.
The guard noticed I was smiling, so he stopped untying it to see what I was going to do next.
I knew he wanted me to beg. He frowned and stayed in that position waiting for me to beg him to continue.
At first, I wanted him to remain like that for hours, but I gave it a second thought and saw it wasn't going to be of benefit for the both of us.
I swallowed my pride"I'm sorry for smiling, can you please continue with that"I pleaded.
He chuckled and continued, and I also continued smiling.
**
The guard and I walked out of the room. "Where are you taking me to now that I'm out of my prison?"I asked.
"And who told you you're out of your prison? It's not over yet. You disobeyed the king's orders, so you have to face him."He replied.
"Please do not take me to him."I pleaded.
"I'm sorry, but it's what I'm told to do."He said.
Lycan kings are more powerful than Alpha kings. They have greater strength and are more feared by people. I don't want to face him because I don't want to have anything to do with him.
My parents talk about him a lot, how he fought with various alpha packs and rogues. My father says he is strong and was well-trained by his late father.
They said he has killed more than one member of the pack because they disobeyed him.
"I don't want him to kill me."I panicked.
The guard looked at me and saw the innocence in my eyes. I pretend to feel remorse about my offense so that the person I'm using it on would pity me.
I mostly use it for my father and it works on him every time, but this guard, I'm not sure he is touched by it.
"I'm sorry, but I have no choice."He said.
I was pained that I couldn't use it on him. He is a cold-hearted guard, and I'm sure he was trained to be like that.
After enough walking, we got to the king's chamber, and the guard threw me on the floor.
I couldn't look into the king's eye, so I stared at the floor.
"You may leave, "The King said to the guard.
The door opened and closed, and I was now left alone with the so-called fearless king.
"Look at me."He said with his cold voice, which echoed.
Slowly, I raised my head. I looked around his chamber to be sure if truly we were alone, and truly we were alone.
I looked at him."Stand up" He said and I stood up.
"I won't do anything to you 'cause you are new here. You've been part of this pack for so long, but you just settled in yesterday."He said.
"You know my parents?"I asked.
"Yes, I do. Your grandfather was once my guard, and your father was very loyal to me. I don't know much about your mother, but one thing I know about her is that she once fought to protect this pack. So I'm going to warn you not ever try passing through that gate, if you disobey me again, you will be punished."He warned.
"I've heard you, but the part about my mother fighting for the pack is what I don't understand, can you please explain?"I asked.
"I guess your mother didn't tell you. Our pack was attacked by Rogues."He paused then continued"I'm sure you know about it, or don't you?"
"I know who they are. I've read about them in a lot of books."I replied.
"Good. When they attacked, your mother stood to fight them. She believed in the saying 'what a man can do, a woman can do better'. She was the only female warrior, and she fought harder than the men. I respected her for that, I gave her the chance to ask for anything she wanted, and the only thing she asked for was to be with your father."He said.
And it was now clear to me, but why didn't she tell me about this?
"But why can't anyone pass through the gate?"I asked.
"Because it's the boundary between the Rogues and us"He replied.
"But I saw a guy there. I knew the guy from Highschool, he was my crush but he didn't notice me throughout my years In high school. So what will a human be doing there?"I asked.
"Trust me, he is no human. He is either a rogue or another Lycan that has come to spy on us."He replied, and I was dumbfounded.
I doubted what he said. Ryan doesn't look like a lycan or a rogue. He looks too innocent to be. "I won't agree with you on that. Ryan is too innocent to be a rogue or a lycan." I replie "I'm the king of this pack, and you should listen to anything I say. Do not try passing that gate again, I won't have mercy on you."He sai "So does that means you are not going to kill me?"I aske He chuckled"Who told you I kill people?" he aske "My parents. They told me stories about you, and those stories made me afraid of you."I replie He laughed"I don't kill normies let alone the pack members. They only told you that because they want you to fear and respect me. I do not kill people. I only imprison people who disobey me." he sai "So you are a cool king?"I aske "If that's how you describe me, then I am. Your parents are waiting for you outside, you can go now."He replie "It was nice meeting you King," I said, and walked out of the palace, but not without giving it a star My parents were out
As I said the word, I didn't know if I was ready or not. If I were to think of the negative side of breaking the rule to be with someone who by intention refused to ask me out, there would be a lot of consequences.I don't know what he is it is what he is doing in the woods I'm being restricted from passing. The king spared me once and I'm sure he is not going to do it the second time. This is a risk and I'm not going to take it no matter how love him."Are you not coming with me?"He asked."I'm sorry but I can't, "I replied frankly and began to run away with my eyes closed.Yeah, with my eyes closed. It was a tough decision and I'm glad I made the right choice.I headed back home, I passed through a lot of corners so that I won't be caught by any of the guards.A few minutes later, I got home and saw my parents were getting prepared for this ball.I checked my time and saw it was time already. Did I spend most of my time with Ryan? It was just like we had a brief talk. To be sure
He stared at me in disbelief and we were silent for a while. I turned to Evelyn and she glared at me."You are..my... mate," I said to the Lycan king's son."It's impossible, you are not my mate, you can't be my mate."He replied.I was shocked by his reply, his he rejecting me?"We are having the same mate Cassy. I'm feeling the same way."Evelyn said."The same mate how is that possible?"I asked."I don't know if it's possible or not, but one thing I know is that none of you can be my mate. There Is a mistake somewhere."The Lycan king's son replied.He was about to walk away, but I pulled him back."You are not going anywhere. I've spent a whole week finding and searching. You will have to be my mate no matter what."I said."If he is going to accept you, what about me?"Evelyn asked."I don't know. You should probably find another."I replied, and just like that, we became enemies."Really?, You want him for yourself? Didn't I tell you what I passed through"She said?I turned to The kin
"What did he means by it's your turn?"I asked."He means it's my turn to look after our father."He replied."Look after your father?, Isn't he the one to do it?"I asked in a low tone."And how Is that any of your concern?"His older brother asked in his deep cold voice."Be calm on her, she's new. And I'll be on my way."Darren said.His older brother left, and we were alone in the sitting room of the gigantic palace."So since we have nothing else to talk about, I'll take my leave now, and the guard will escort you outside."He said, and when I thought he was taking his leave, he stopped and turned back to me."I allowed you here doesn't mean I have accepted you as my mate."He said and finally walked away.I thought of his last words. Well, I wasn't touched by it, but I was just happy that I got to have a private discussion with him.I will keep trying and won't give up until he agrees to be my mate. But let's talk about his older brother, what do you think of him?.He's handsome, cute
I pinched my skin to be sure I wasn't dreaming. I pinched it so hard that it turned red. And it turned out I wasn't dreaming.Our eyes met. He was staring at me while I was also doing the same. "You are staring at Ryan?"Patty asked."Yes, I am," I replied."I thought you've given up on him?"She asked.I came back to reality"No, I've not given up on him not yet. We've chatted and he turned out he also likes me."I replied."Wait for a second, he also likes you?"Patty asked."Yes, "I replied."Then why did he ignore you?"She asked."I don't know. But one thing I know is that he did it intentionally. He knew I was crushing on him, and for reasons unknown to me, he didn't speak to me, not even for once."I replied."But why are you still crushing on him? He didn't speak to you when you wanted him to be yours, it's time to give him a taste of his own medicine. I think you should play with his heart so that he will know how it feels to be ignored."Patty said.Patty's right. I need to give hi
"Why my room?"I asked."I thought that's where you will be."He replied."Okay, I'm here, what is it?"I asked."You left and we didn't finish our conversation."He replied."Conversation?, We didn't start any conversation," I said."I know, just kidding. We need to talk."He replied."We can talk here, "I said."Privately" He replied."Wait, so you want me and you to talk In my room?"I asked."Ye,s" He replied.Is this dude okay?, Or maybe he is? He wants us to have a conversation in my room. If it's going to benefit him, it's going to also benefit me.Patty said I'm going to be the one to get heartbroken if I play with the hearts of three of them. But I think she's wrong. Two of them are going to be hurt when I pick the one that I truly love."Let's go," I said.We walked to my room, I opened the door while he trailed behind me. I close the door, and we both sat on my bed."So what do you want to talk about?"I asked."I want to firstly apologize for not speaking to you when I found o
"What's wrong with you?"My mother asked."Nothing... Absolutely nothing" I lied through my teeth."You are lying, I know you are."She said and pushed me aside."See I told you it's nothing," I said."Fine."She turned to Patty"Thank you for coming, I hope to see you another day."She turned back to me"You should see her off.""I will. Let's go, Patty."I said, holding Patty's hands and as we were about to walk out, I turned back and saw my mother still standing."You are not allowed to be in my room. I'm not going to allow you to spy on me."I said."There's something you are hiding from me, I can feel it. When I came ln you moved to your bed and blocked me from seeing it."She replied."Even if I am hiding something from you, which I'm not, you still can stay here whileisegoingo goes e,"I said.I frowned at her, she sighed and said"Fine, I'm going to leave.""You need to be ahead of us, we will walk behind you, "I replied."No. I'm your mother, and I can do whatever I want."She said."I
Where should I start? I don't know how to explain or describe how I feel right now when I'm being caught having sex with a guy. The ground should open and swallow me, cause this is bad."Who is he, and why are you on top of him?"My mother questioned."Is obvious mom, she's having s*x with him," Greg said."Go to your room Greg, I'm going to handle it."My mother replied."Okay," Greg muttered and left."What are you still there? Get the hell out of my house."My mother yelled at Ryan, who stood up immediately, he wore his clothes and went out of my room.Now, I'm left with her, and I need to explain myself."Before you talk, I want you to know it's not what you think, "I said."Then what should think? Isn't it obvious that you were having sex with a guy I have never met in my life?"My mother yelled."He is... I mean was my friend" I said."That's no excuse, Cassy. Everyone is down there dancing and partying cause it's your birthday. Because of you, I invited Cassy and all you can do is
"Where are you going to?"He asked.I remain silent for a while, trying to think of a lie to tell him."I forget some of my stuff, so I want to pick them up."I lied.He remained silent for a while. He looks at me from head to toe and chuckles."Liar. You are dressed differently, and it means you are trying to sneak out."He said.I gulped"No, I'm not.""Stop lying to me Cassy. We both know you are trying to sneak out."He said.I sighed."Okay... Fine. I'm trying to sneak out, but you have to do me a favor by not telling Ryan."I replied.He smiled"I don't do favors like that without getting something in return."He said, and walked closer to me.He touches my hair, and then I knew what he wanted. I removed his hands."I'm in a relationship with Ryan and I don't want to screw it."I said."You can be with the both of us."He replied.He tried touching my waist, but I removed his hands angrily."I can't be with you and be with your friend. It isn't right and we both know it."I said."I'm not l
My mother saw me. She didn't say a word, neither did she wave. She faced my father and kept walking to a place I have no clue of. The way she looked at me wasn't the way she always does. Maybe she is truly disapointed in me like she said earlier.I sighed. Maybe I'm at fault. I should have just apologized about it. Though I love doing things on my own. I want to be an independent young lady,, but I still think I need my mother.I turned to Ryan who had been saying things I haven't been listening to."Do you think I'm wrong?"I asked."No, you are not. You are always right."He replied."I mean, my parents. Do you think I did too much, by saying I should be treated like an adult?"I asked."No, you didn't. You are eighteen, and you shouldn't be treated like a child anymore. I know you don't like the party because of the people that were invited, and I know how that feels. So you did the right thing, and not the wrong."He replied.We kept on walking and were having a good conversation.Ry
"Dead?, Are you sure of what you are saying?"Darren's brother asked."Yes, I am Sir. It happened right in front of your brother."The guard replied.With the way I'm seeing things, I don't think I'll be able to stay in the palace tonight. The king is dead and there's going to be chaos everywhere when the news spread out of the palace.Darren and his brother will be more focused on the death of their father and I'll be forgotten."You must tell anyone else about it."Darren's brother said to the guard.He turned to me"I don't think you can stay here, Darren won't allow you."He said."Can I see him at least?"I asked."I'm sure you are not deaf. My father is dead, and there's no way you can stay here."He yelled, sighed, and walked away.I guess I'm the fool now. I made my parents annoyed and now they kicked me out of the house. I thought of staying in the palace, but then the king decided to die.Death comes at any time, I know that. But why should he die when I need the help of his son?
Where should I start? I don't know how to explain or describe how I feel right now when I'm being caught having sex with a guy. The ground should open and swallow me, cause this is bad."Who is he, and why are you on top of him?"My mother questioned."Is obvious mom, she's having s*x with him," Greg said."Go to your room Greg, I'm going to handle it."My mother replied."Okay," Greg muttered and left."What are you still there?
