So this was the whole story of how the Lycans and werewolves came to be. How do you all like it? Let me know in the comments and reviews. Also, leave gems on your way! Love you all ❤️
NORA I waited. I waited so long. Actually, I thought I was waiting but to tell you the truth, I fell asleep. When I jerked away after some hours, I found that the night was already fading behind the veils of lights. It scared the satan’s hell out of me and I shot up like an arrow. I fell asleep so close to the beast and that too like I didn’t plan on finding my way out of there. I sighed as my eyes fell on the man lying on the bed. His breaths were deep and evened out, giving an impression that he was still visiting his ancestors in the la la land. This made me shoot him an evil smirk. Pulling the shirt down my body, I got on all fours and started making my way to the door. My back and butt were burning. And in my guts, I had a hunch that someone was watching me. I turned on all fours and threw a suspicious glance in the King’s direction. He was passed out cold, his face turned to me, his fluffy hair falling over his eyes. My eyes traveled lower, to his nose, slightly parte
STRIKER I figured out she was up to something the moment she sat up and stretched like a tired cat. A small gasp had left her lips as if she suddenly recalled something. This had alerted me enough to glance her way. Her expressions were funny. Her eyes were glaring at the wall, while her lips puckered out. I watched her until she faced me. Instinctively, I had closed my eyes. I didn’t know why I did it but it seemed, I wanted to know what she was up to in the middle of the night. I was not surprised when I heard the loud scrapping of her knees against the floor. My eyes cracked open to look at her butt, which she was proudly wiggling in my face. Thank Goddess, her skin was covered with clothes, or my wolf would have lost his head again. She had turned to me as if she knew I was watching her. I sensed her coming closer, on her fours. I felt her near, her breath on my face, her hand waving before my eyes in an attempt to make sure I was sleeping. She was planning to run away. The
NORAI blinked at him in confusion. There was no sign of him joking on his face and in his rigid posture.His dark Obsidian eyes were fixed on my bleeding hand. Looking at him from close and inhaling his sharp pheromones—his Lycan scent becoming stronger and more dominant made me forget about the pain in my hand. Instead, it made my core ache.“ You—You are joking right? Your Highness? ” There was no way he was keeping me for a year and there was no way I could stay beside him and remain alive to the end.“ Who do you think I am, Lady Lana? ” He hissed, gripping my hand harsher.Our eyes locked and the superiority in his gaze had me clenching my thighs together.He kept his eyes on me as his tongue darted out, wetting his lips. I followed the sensual movement, gulping to get rid of the dryness in my mouth.Pulling my hand near his lips, he closed his eyes and licked the edge of my wrist where the wound started. A gasp left my lips at the sudden soft gesture.My soul departed my body,
NORAHe had pushed me inside the bathtub filled with water. His right hand held my neck, his left lingered over my hips to keep me submerged.Water filled my mouth as I tried to breathe. My eyes burned first and the next moment, my lungs were burning too.I was thrashing my legs. I was holding onto his hands, never pushing too hard. He would know. From the strength, he would find out. The Lycan King pushed me down harder. My head hit the base of the bathtub as his malicious face became just a blur hovering above the water.My nails dug into his hands, drawing blood. I tried to scream, and it proved to be a mistake. Water started filling my lungs faster than before.‘ N—Nora. We need to fight back. ’ Zoey was threatening to break on the surface and push the huge man away.She had the strength, just enough to have him leave me but not right now. I couldn’t show it to him.So, I remained like this. Gasping for water and feeling the cruel burn in my lungs intensifying.I felt pain. Lots
NORA “ What do you want to use me for, Your Highness? ” I asked awkwardly. He made it sound so dirty. “ I want you to make sure that you fail. ” He smirked. “ every single test. Do your worst, and make everyone realize how bad this whole setting is. For me. ” I frowned. “ what setting exactly? ” “ The selection ceremony. ” His lips pressed into a thin line. “ this needs to end. I don’t want an omega as my mate. ” My cheeks heated as his gaze lowered to my neck for a brief moment. Something shifted inside my stomach and in a moment, the heat was pooling between my thighs too. The bulb lit in my head. “ Why? ” “ Omegas are not my type, ” he replied, hoarsely. I blinked at him, words disappearing from my head, from my mouth. He was really something. “ W— ” “ You don’t get to ask questions, Lady Lana. ” The evil smirk returned to his lips. “ You can do that on your own. ” I shrugged my shoulders. “ you are the King, after all. Tell them you don’t want it. ” “ There are
NORA “ This is the test? ” I asked, confused. The forceful lady, named Amanah was standing in front of me. She was the supervisor of all the servants in the castle and controlled everything here. Granny sent me with her yesterday and I was relieved to finally have escaped only to end up in a bathtub, getting scrubbed as a horse and then getting myself thrust into another tight green dress that flowed to my feet and showed my cleavage. I spent the whole day getting to know the servants around, memorizing all the ways, and listening to the stories of poor girls that had already run away. It was boring. After kissing the Lycan King, everything else was boring. Whenever I thought about the encounter, I would sense animals jumping in my stomach. It was a horrible experience—one that I would love to have again. Just like the day, I spent the rest of the last night in my bed, rolling around and wondering where the King had disappeared after making the deal with me. I had so many quest
NORA I was too scared to open my eyes. My heart was in hell and my mind, in the seventh sky. Silence fell for a moment after the scary Granny’s voice resonated in the hall. It snatched all my courage. “ Amanah. What kind of disrespect is this? ” Granny's voice lowered in volume. Her aura was grim. And it finally urged me to look at her. She was standing beside a very much amused Alpha King Striker. I was disappointed all of a sudden. I thought he fell but he was standing by the door, his side resting against it and his arms folded over his chest. As our gazes clashed, he threw me an encouraging half-smirk. My plan to embarrass the Lycan King slapped me back in the face. I huffed, peeling my gaze from his smug figure and fixing my nervous gaze on Granny. She was glaring at the woman beside me. And the head servant was too terrified to open her mouth and tell the Queen Grandmother that it was not her fault. “ I was not expecting this oily welcome. ” Tyson snickered. My eyes lo
NORA My body bounced on the soft mattress before coming to an abrupt halt. He was hovering above me the next moment, his hands placed on either side of my head. My throat went dry. The small electric jolts ran up and down my body. It was a shady sensation that I couldn’t understand. Perhaps, this was what being attracted to a man felt like. I never felt it before, so there was no way I would know. The edges of his irises turned magenta again. This grabbed my full focus. His Lycan wolf was peeking at me. The creature shifted. I didn’t know why but it felt like his wolf just grinned at me. There was no way I could tell this by looking into his eyes, but I did. My breath caught up in my lungs as I instinctively placed my hand over his cheek, feeling his skin—soft with patches of some rough hair on the chin. His gaze flickered to my wrist, the magenta disappearing to let the Obsidian come back in full force. “ What are you doing, Lana? ” He spoke, cautiously, as his eyes settled back
Hey Sweet Readers! So, after some eight months (that's really a lot. I didn't know so much time had passed honestly), the story is complete. Nora and Striker's story was different from all the stories I ever wrote before. I didn't know what overcame me when I started writing this story and decided to make Nora a crackhead from the beginning *evil laugh*, but I guess, I wanted to try something unique for the first time. I was tired of the usual All Dark Romances with the FL getting tortured and the ML being an a-hole. It was really an experiment. I was nervous about it in the beginning because I doubted anyone would want to read this book, but you all my sweet readers proved me wrong. I can't thank you enough for the support you always show me and I will never stop saying it ❤️ Like all the books before, I unconsciously delayed writing the end of this story because I was too attached to the characters but I am glad I was able to finish it. Now what's next? I am sure you all are wo
NORA “ I went to look for him before any of you did. ” He whispered and pushed himself away from the railing. “ I always will. ” I was left speechless once again. He walked away from me and left his words hanging in the air. ‘ He fucked everything up. ’ Striker groaned down our link. ‘ Make sure Ryder doesn’t see any of it. ’ I sighed and decided to follow the rest of the crowd to see what was being done. People stepped aside to give me way when they noticed my aura and me. I exited the grand hall and approached the throne room. Everyone followed me closely, eager to witness the King of the East and his new shenanigan. I came to a slow halt as I noticed blood painting the floor outside the golden double doors of the throne room. I picked up my head and stared at the man in the distance. Tyson was sitting on the grey concrete seat that had golden engravings. He was only wearing his jeans, and the upper half of his body was bare. His legs were spread apart as he rested back on
NORA Tyson couldn’t stay with us for long. He fulfilled his promise to me, gave Jack back to Striker, and then departed for the East. The little time he spent with me was enough for me to know something had changed in him. Maybe, everything had changed. His voice was no longer gentle. His eyes didn’t shine. He lost his genuine smile that used to touch the hearts. I wanted to know if it was because he was part vampire now. But, I didn’t get the chance as Striker was attached to his side first and then, it was Ryder who refused to leave him alone. Surprisingly, Ryder was able to pull the old Tyson out of him for a little while. When he smiled at him, it was real. And even for a small amount of time, Tyson’s eyes shone bright again. It was enough for me to sit back and just watch the first interaction between my son and my brother. There was still hope for Tyson. He was not all lost. And after two weeks of his return, I was proved right. I was sent an invitation from the East
NORA It was unexpected but people got used to the absence of the wall pretty fast. Levian could be credited for this perhaps. Because he didn’t attack us after the day he promised me the things he did. Vampires and humans were rarely seen. That was the case with Tyson too. He didn’t return even after two years passed. Dad went back to being the King in Tyson’s place while the three Kingdoms waited for the return of the King of the East. That’s what I liked to believe before I visited the East and realized the harsh truth. The people of the East were ecstatic that they didn’t have to deal with a rapist King anymore. They flourished during the reign of my Dad. I didn’t want to, but I felt bitter towards those people. Striker told me at that time. Tyson has to do a lot of work to make people believe in him again. But, I didn’t agree with him. People treated him harshly due to an accusation that was not even trialed or proven. They didn’t care what it made him feel or put him
STRIKER When I didn’t find her sleeping beside me earlier, I felt the worse fear of my life. Panic and anger became one, consuming my every thought, and hijacking my every move. I searched for her like a madman. In the castle. In my mind. And when I realized where she must be, all logic evaded me. I ran to save her, desperate to get to her before she ended up in danger. I was not terrified for one but two lives. My whole world, my family, my love was at risk…and there was nothing I wanted more than to have it all back. Nora made me go through all this. I could understand her desperation to find her brother but she didn’t need to do this to me. I would have gone to find Tyson anyway. I would have done everything to bring him back. For a moment, I was angry that she didn’t trust me, didn’t believe in me…and this thought drove me crazy. But it didn’t mean this anger would push me away from her. On the contrary, I found myself becoming more possessive. After what happened to
NORA“ It’s Lenora Skoldofr now. ” My voice echoed in the silent hall. “ I am the mate of Alpha King of the West. Do I need other reasons? ” “ Women are not…” Another started again but closed his mouth when I looked at him.Or maybe, because Striker looked at him at the same time.A little part of me found it infuriating but if I needed Striker’s shadow to get things done, I wouldn’t mind. I would never fight with him over this.“ I know you all were discussing the vampire threat. ” I started.All eyes were on me, judging and rejecting. Women were not supposed to take part in such activities.“ I want to be useful and suggest something to the Alpha King. ” If I needed to rely on him, so be it.“ What suggestion? ” Striker wondered, craning his neck to look at me.Instead of getting up and towering over me, he let me remain the taller one. Turning to me, and staying in this position didn’t affect him in front of all these people.“ We have a small army. ” I stated, as a matter of fact
NORAStriker didn’t ask me about Tyson again. We had come to a silent agreement that until his return, we wouldn’t discuss him. I was relieved. But, I couldn’t get Tyson out of my mind.When we came back, Granny was waiting for me. Instead of scolding me as she had done once before, she embraced me. I was given clothes to wear, and Striker was taken to the throne room by a warrior.Apparently, my adorable, violent mate had summoned the whole Kingdom and all the Alphas for any possible war. Now, he needed to send everyone back. Granny didn’t let me follow him when I tried to go. She pulled me to the sitting area, her hold firm on my wrist.She was scared.Everyone was scared.Except Amanah. She was scared and hurt.Right after she saw me sit in the sitting area, she turned and left me with Granny. My heart drowned, but then it went back inside my chest when I realized I could always talk to her.Amanah would never hate me, or remain angry at me forever.“ I was not expecting such an
NORA Levian was not a liar. When he said he wouldn’t fight, he stayed true to his words. He made all his people stand back. All I had to do was to go to my fuming Striker after that. He was still spitting fire, that burned the ground he walked on. When he saw me coming, his wolf stopped glowing like a stove and calmed down. His head dipped a little low, letting me step closer. ‘ We are not fighting today, Striker. ’ I whispered down the mind link. ‘ What makes you think I will leave him alone when I have him just in front of me? ’ He snarled. He was angry and barely holding that flaring fire back. It was clear that this was all now directed at me because I ran away from home. ‘ We will not provoke him like our ancestors, Striker. I—We need to do things differently. Repeating the same mistakes won’t make us win. ’ I sighed. ‘ And retreating like cowards will? ’ His wolf stepped forth, almost brushing against my shoulders. The heat of his body warmed my skin. I expected his fire
NORAI didn’t think it would be this easy to convince Levian to talk to me alone, and to let Striker really let me go. But, they both didn’t protest. I was stunned for a moment but then my gaze fell on Tyson who had turned his back to us. The surprise vanished. Worry took its place.What was he going through? There was no way of finding out. He wouldn’t tell anyone. He was the kind who liked to suffer alone.Sighing, I walked towards Levian. The crack in the ground still baffled me, but it was not as surprising as it was supposed to be. The ability felt natural and didn’t make me uncomfortable.Levian turned around when he saw me approaching. He led me towards the trees in the distance.‘ Careful. ’ Striker murmured in my head furiously.‘ Nothing will happen. You are right behind me. ’ I huffed.He grumbled but didn’t say anything.Levian stopped close to a tree and turned around all of a sudden. I paused, my brows lifting to my forehead.He raised his hand and waved it in the air.
