NORA POVI leap high, my feet bare and my heart racing. That damn old man would be the end of me. Why was he so strict? I wish I could be trained by Nora only.“ If you are a second behind, you will be punished, brat." Elder Silvarum’s voice came through the mindlink. I could have yelled a fuck you at him but then I wasn't ready to train all day. That's how wicked Elder Silvarum was to me. Did he even see me as the Lycan princess?Maybe he forgets that I was still not with my wolf. With a sigh, I continued the race without the surge of power and speed that comes with having a wolf. It's just me, my human form, and the burning need to become powerful. I could feel the forest getting blurred around me, trees becoming green and brown smudges as I ran the distance. My legs had began to ache and I could swear that my lungs were going to be on fire, thanks to that old man!I pushed on, fueled by determination.I wanted to meet up with his timer, so I ran with all my strength. Even without
NORA POVI was still trying to balance myself while cursing Elder Silvarum in my mind when I caught about two Lycan wolves approaching me. Don't tell me I have to fight these people and Karen without my wolf!“ Shit, Elder Silvarum!" I grunted, getting ready to face them.Two of them charged forward, their movements were as fast as a strike of lightning. I reacted instinctively, my body shifting into a defensive stance. Our bodies clash, a flurry of punches and kicks, each blow landing with precision and force.I staggered a little when the third person came from behind me, a punch landing on my back. "Focus, Nora!" Karen growls, his fist inches from my face. "Don't let your emotions rule you. You're a Lycan, a warrior. Unleash your power!"I gritted my teeth again, channeling my energy into a fierce counterattack. The two guys meet me head-on, our movements a blur of speed and strength. I can feel my Lycan instincts rising, the urge to dominate and in-state my authority. Yet, I cou
Nora POV“ For the sake of the pendant, Nora. I will let you go back but be back before the fall of the red moon.” Her voice seems to falter at the end of her words.I could barely contain my excitement as I stood before my mother, my heart racing with anticipation. She has finally given me the permission I have been waiting for - to go back to my former pack and exact my revenge.Filled with excited whimper, I embraced my mother tightly. Although I wanted to ask her why I had to come back before the fall of the red moon, I decided to ignore it because I would be back before then.“ How is the training?" She asked, searching my face with those piercing eyes. My mother's aura was extremely powerful and I wondered if she was just a Lycan or something more.“ Improving. Hopefully, I will give the elders a favorable answer." I answered with a crestfallen face.My mother touched me gently, her warmth traveling down my heart. I raised my head, gazing at her reassuring face.“ You are strong
Nora POV My eyes glanced around the big mansion, holding tightly to my backpack. My mother's reluctant face and my father's grim look made my heart falter for a moment. I owe my new existence to these people. Although they were my biological parents, they meant more to me.They were my shield and light. The ones who made me discover the powerful Nora. Today was the day I was leaving my kingdom for my former pack. It wasn't easy convincing the elders of my decision but with my father's firm authority, I was given until the month of the Lycan Full Moon Festival.Still with the grim expression, my father walked up to me.“ You could have taken Karen with you. I will only feel better if he-”" Father, you have to trust me. I am no longer that weak girl. I am your daughter, the powerful Nora without a wolf.” We have been arguing since last night for me to go alone but my father wasn't convinced. He still believes I might be bullied by those people again.With a sigh, my father insisted."
Nora POV“ Nora-" His voice was laced with hidden excitement.Before I could say anything, I found myself in his embrace. I remained stiff and confused at his attitude. I thought he hated me and wanted me dead?“ Get the hell off me!" I screamed, pushing him away.I watched as he staggered backwards, his legs faltering close to the huge oak tree a huge distance away from me. I gasped in disbelief at the strength I just used. I thought the potion would have wean off the Lycan strength.As he staggered backwards, there was hesitation as his eyes roamed all over my body. He seemed to have a complicated look on his face, as if he was sensing something more. I squinted, my mind taking a drastic decision. I can't let him know I was powerful but then the potion was supposed to have worn down the Lycan aura around me! What exactly was happening? That old man told me it wouldn't take up to five minutes before the effects started kicking in.“ Tricky old man!" I sighed inwardly.I hope Carlos
NORA POVAs I giggled under the protective embrace of Justin, I heard my mother's loud howl echoing through the morning air. It carried all her hidden excitement and praise to the Moon goddess for soaring me.In less than a minute or so, several howling followed in unison in acknowledgement. I smiled, feeling the warmth of my mother again.“ Come, let's go inside before we go to see the Alpha," my father beckoned, eager to hold me in his arms.At the mention of the Alpha, I knew he was talking about Carlos. “ I met him already."“ Huh? So soon?" My father asked, surprised.“ Seeing Justin here means he knows. No wonder he was quick to come here," my mother pointed out.My father nodded, then moved closer to me. He pushed Justin aside, lifting me up before placing me on his shoulders. I giggled as we all got into the house.I was back to the only family I had known all my life. As we sat down, my parents exchange a glance, and then my father begins to speak. "Nora, we want to know wh
Nora's Pov " Father, please-”" I knew there was something more to what happened that night. Tell me everything, Nora. And I promise to help you.”My heart swelled with emotions, making my tears fall freely. I narrated everything that happened to me that night six months ago. As the story poured out of me, my father's emotions riled up a hundred fold. His eyes turned darker and I could hear his wolf howling in anger." Father, please. I want to do it my own way. Can you keep it from mom and Justin until I am through with my plans?” I pleaded, trying to steer my father's anger away." He dared to plot against my daughter?" His anger swept around the whole study and my body stood on edge.How could I forget my father was also a beta? His aura was powerful.“ Dad, please. I want to do it my way.,” I pleaded, hoping he would understand.He was quiet for a while before sighing deeply. You have my support, Nora. We will face it together."I felt a wave of gratitude toward my father, but a
Nora POV As I turned around to see who just spoke, I sensed her presence. The words mixed with undeniable grudges and the ferocious aura filling the entire place. Aria Davies. His chosen mate. She is the daughter of Elder Davies and she was my sworn rival who also had a crush on Carlos. I found out from my father that he accepted her after the coronation. Aria was the perfect choice for a strong Luna. She was a fierce warrior who could protect alongside her mate. She was the one he had replaced me with. I could feel her eyes on me, burning with anger and jealousy.Aria had made my life a living hell alongside her minions when she found out I was without a wolf. She was always envious that Carlos gave me attention way back. I kept my head down, trying to avoid her gaze. But I could sense her approaching me. Her steps were light, but her presence was heavy with tension.“ Isn't this the pathetic wannabe Luna?" She sneered, her eyes were an embodiment of envy. I wondered why she was
