NORA POVDetermination seeped through my veins as I made up my mind to beat the record I had been getting for the past one week. Although other trainers said it was impossible, only if I had my wolf. They said it would have been possible considering my speed.The only Lycan that had gotten less than 0.5 seconds was the first Ancient Blood. Beating that speed will require my wolf. After giving Karen a faint smile, I shut my eyes tightly, envisioning the target without losing focus. I don't know if I could make the 0.5 second speed but at least I could aim faster.As I breezed through the bushes, tearing whatever was on my way apart. I sustained bruises yet I felt nothing as I ran at full speed. I know Elder Silvarum was already waiting for me there for the calculation. With the whistling of the morning breeze streaming past my ears, I continue to run as fast as I could. In a blink of an eye, I was already standing before the old man as I catch my breath.“ It's outstanding but you st
CARLOS POVI cursed as I changed into my wolf form, filled with anger at what I just heard. How could such a thing happen and none of the elders had a whiff of it.I got to the conference room in less than five minutes and changed back into my human form. My eyes scout through all the elders who had a grim yet fearful expressions. “ How could this have slipped your reports?" My voice boomed across the throne room.My hands tapped rapidly on my throne, watching the Elders whose heads were bowed shivering slightly. I waited for their excuses once again, yet none spoke a word.“ No answer? I guess I should find out my way," I smirked, my aura changing drastically.I stood up abruptly, making them whimper a few steps back. They should have known for the past six months I had been on the throne that I was nothing like my father.Don't get me wrong.My father was one of the most decisive Alpha in all werewolves territories. Brutal yet merciful, so much that most of our territories were now
Carlos POVI woke up with a start, sweat dripping all over my body. It felt so real and I could have sworn it was Nora. How could she have a wolf when she was just human?I felt a familiar pain tugging at my heart as her face flashed before me. I got up swiftly, making my way to the bathroom. Maybe a cold bath would straighten me out.As I walked past the reading desk, I paused. Instead, I made my way to the desk. I saw an enclosed box. It was the box holding the shard of emerald pendant.I took out the shard, examining it once more for any inscription. Indeed, there was an inscription but it was partly torn. I removed the one on my neck and noticed inscriptions on it too.I sighed, a strong migraine kicking in. Why can't I get the feeling that something wasn't right out of my head?“ I need to find out the truth."With that I sent a mindlink to my gamma, Kayden. He was also my best friend, just like Justin and I trust him. “ Get me an expert on inscriptions and wordings”" Yes, Alph
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
