During the blood moon night, the werewolves would go into the underground prison and strap most of the teenage wolves, precisely the little ones who are not capable of controlling themselves in their wolf form as they might turn violent and rampage through the city. though the adult in the pack can have a little control and restraint over themselves, the pups completely lose control, especially on the blood moon night. Despite his title and responsibilities, twenty years old alpha king Lucian would always take his brother to the underground vault and stay up all night with him."You know, you don't always have to do this yourself," Dylan said climbing down the stairs after his brother"And why is that? are you scared I might beat the hell out of your wolf if it doesn't behave," Lucian said teasingly."I would like that, as long as I don't get any scar the next day, it will be a big shame to my ladies when they get to see my scarred bare body after this night," Dylan said smiling widel
"Goddess bear me witness, I will murder my brother if he ends up turning without his shackles," he swore at him as he drops the other end of the shackle and sit in the corner with his brother.The two brothers chatted away for some more minutes when Lucian notice his brother feeling uneasy, his words sound more like a low growl. He looks outside with the help of the small opening on the wall that can't be considered a window.*If the moon is not yet fully up then why this reaction? He thought as he put his two fingers forward and place them on his brother's forehead to check his body temperature "Dylan!" he called out to him. "are you alright?" he's having a running temperature, his low growl gradually turned into a howl suddenly and Lucian darted towards the shackles "I swear Dylan, I will deal with you when all this is over," he thought out loud.It was so far the hurtful transformation Lucian had ever seen, as Dylan turn and toss from left to right aggressively, his beautiful green-
**********The Next Day*************Lucian had been in the garden since the morning he got back with Dylan, even when the palace gardener usually takes care of those flowers and plants most of the time, when he needs some time alone he will visit the garden and tend to the plants."Cian, I heard the almighty Alpha king would be here," someone cut into his silent peace.A little bit surprised but he didn't look back as he already felt his presence, he knew who it was."Marek!," Lucian said as he couldn't hide the smile that crept in on his face.Marek is one of Lucian's childhood best friends and also his beta, unlike Lucian's perfect physique, Marek could also pass for a handsome man, he's a blonde hair guy with a round face and cherry full lips. five months back Keres invaded the neighboring village, the hometown of Marek. [Keres are death spirit, though they do not cause people to die they waited for people to die so they could feed on their flesh] Anywhere those ominous spirit sta
Walking along the palace pavement with Marek by his side, Lucian felt the presence of Liliane, and he sighted her. in her company were the palace servants strolling toward him."Mother," Lucian said as he and Marek gave her a slight bow.With a worried face, she asked, "how did the blood moon ritual go?" "It went well, mother," Lucian said with a bold smile."I haven't seen Dylan around, I did check his chamber I couldn't find him," Liliane had a feeling something was wrong as Dylan would always come to her after that stressful night."mother, you worry too much. he might be flirting with the other wolf girls around the palace," Lucian tried his must to sound believable, he knew how easily Liliane worries, especially, if it had something to do with Dylan."When you see Dylan ask him to come to see me," she said sadly."yes mother," Lucian answered nervously."Cian, are you sure everything is fine?" she asked this time she was peering into his eye.Lucian swallowed hard as he think of
It was a hectic day for Lucian as he perform his preeminent duty, night came and the meeting with the ministers ended. Lucian's last order was been carried out. it was time for him to retire to his chamber. immediately the huge door to his chamber opened, and his eyes fell on a slender red hair lady, she had her back unto the door, she stood so close to the window staring at the darkness in the sky, she was lost in the ambiance of her thought. she had an average height, elegant and curvy in the right places. Lucian already knew who it was. He took a light step towards her and wrap his hand around her waist, he then places his head on her shoulder "Rissa, I've missed you," he whisper these words seductively. she shudders as an after-effect of his hot breath fanning her neck. Rissa raised he hands and placed them on his face as she caresses his cheekbones with her fingers. "I missed you too, Cian," Rissa said. That alone was enough to light up Lucian's soul. he turned her abruptly, ma
***********Lucian POV*********** my legs were weak and I was visibly shaking, thank Goddess am in my chamber alone."she had left me for a stranger, just because he claimed to be her mate" my heart shrinks at the thought of it. I felt battered and wronged. all these while I had the fear of her dumping me for her mate. I knew this would happen one day but I never knew she would openly choose her mate over me. I wallowed in my grief, alone and unwanted. "What would Dylan say, if I were to tell him about this," my thoughts wander around."Brother Cian, I warned you," I laughed manically at my thoughts."Even mother would agree to that, Dylan would always say this, it's better to dump than to be a dump," I reminisced over the memories Dylan and I shared."Dylan!" memories of our fight this morning came flooding in, and I suddenly felt the urge of talking to him. I hadn't seen him since morning. I decided to prepare a bath for myself since it is late in the night and the palace servants
"Bingo!" I yelled as realization dawned on me, marek already understands what I meant as he looked at me in awe. "I do not think that's possible, the Goddess can't let such a cruel twist of fate befall you. Iyyar wouldn't hide such a thing from us," Marek said with a shaky voice, he tried his best to sound more believing. I decided to not let him in on my suspicions so I tap his shoulder and gave him the most pretentious smile I could muster "I never said anything, Marek" I wanted him to feel guilty for suspecting our friend and he did." I thought he was your friend too, how could you suspect him of keeping secrets," I scold him."What!, I thought we are both doing the same thing," he said as he stood all spaced out.I walked past him as we have already arrived at the prince's residence. The guards were all active, they all stood at their various posts. noticing my presence they all bowed as courtesy demands. The prince's residence is not as big as the alpha king's residence but en
I could hear the sounds of Marek's horse and the others as they trail behind me."Let's leave our horses here on the clear field," I said to them.We scattered deep into the woods and searched.The search was tiring as the werewolf soldiers uses their heightened sense of smell. The elves made fireflies that lit our path, while some of the other strongly built creatures guard the entrance of the woods.I noticed a hilly side in the woods and climbed it, I wanted to get a clear view ahead of us. The clear view I was so desperate to see didn't come to be. instead, I saw a dark storm, not that storm that happens before it rains. This one was foreign and different, very dark. Darker than the sky at night and vast too. I stare deep into it, and without batting an eye, my eyes become blurry and I felt dazed like my strength is being drained by the second. Within that minute I felt my brother's energy but it was faint, the energy was not stable the way it should."That way," I pointed out to
#Back in AkeldamaYears had passed. The season came and went, the mourning was still in the air, and the people sing praises of the superior king for returning them home and setting things right.they set up a festival for that day but they knew after losing his mate, he could never be the same again, Lucian would go to the divine tree every day to see if Khloe would come out to talk to him, he misses her but any time he goes there he comes back heavily drunk."You don't have to do this to yourself," Dylan scolded him one of such nights."Tell me, Dylan," He said staggering backward."If you were in my shoes what will you do?" he asked.Dylan was speechless, he does not want to in any way think of it. so he patted him on the shoulder and draw him into a hug."I can never forgive you Khloe," he whispered."Yes do that, never you forgive her," Dylan agreed with him then helped him to his chamber.it was not really all that bad to be back in their realm, though here had a painful memory
"What are you two talking about?" Lucian asked staring dead at Aliya. "I don't know what this asshole is talking about," Aliya said."Well let me brainstorm with you," Karnivan said in his deep muscular voice."Your mate is the only one who can bring our realm back to its former glory," Karnivan said as he made his way toward his throne."what do you take us for? fools?" Lucian asked.he wasn't going to stand there and let Karnivan's madness affect him. so he thought."Brother listen to him," Dylan plead with his eyes."I do take you as fools, you think the goddess blessed you with a mate? Do you think of yourself as the goddess's favorite?" Karnivan Laughed."I don't care about the goddess, I just want to get the hell out of this cave or better still shove some punches in your ass," Lucian glared at him with rage and hate."Those two are the rebirth of the igigis you sacrifice to gain power," He finally let out.Lucian placed his hand on his head, he repetitively kept on saying "No,
"Oh my. who do we have here?" Khloe turned around and immediately turned pale in horror, she saw a ginger-haired man standing in front of her with a devilish grin on his face while the rest looked at her like she is a moth."Where do you come from?" he said looking her up and down.Khloe wanted to run but she knows how fast vampires are, she could never outrun one, she thought of what to say but none of the excuses register in her brain."Oh my, I think she is deaf or is she dumb?" He said and the other two men with grim looks started laughing."I'm just a poor servant here," Khloe said looking down at her feet.The man was quiet for a while, Khloe knows that she had been caught in her lies when she heard the ginger hair man chuckle."Oh lies, I hate lies," he said hitting his fist on his hand making Khloe flinch in fear."You smell so delicious that no one of us would have kept you for long, you know why?" he took a step forward.Khloe took another step backward and shook her head."
Back at the penthouse*************************"You have to push Clarissa."Aliya is standing next to Clarissa holding her left hand and urging her to push."I'm getting tired," She cried out."Don't give me that" Aliya almost yell at her."Rissa looks at me," Iyyar said holding her hands and looking down at her."You know that I love you right? And you love those two with tiny feet and if you want to meet them you have to push them out first," Iyyar said persuading her.Clarissa nodded, she was sweating so much.some minutes later Clarissa had contractions and the babies were safely delivered.The cries of the babies filled the room, Iyyar could not hold in his excitement while Jason was bustling up."I want to hold the baby," Jason demanded. Only when the babies had arrived did they let midwives enter the room, the servants were not left out.Later that night, Clarissa and the baby were resting peacefully inside, Iyyar met Aliya sitting in the garden."Thank you so much. Aliya," Iy
"We've been on their trail for hours without any positive outcome!" Lucian yelled in a mind link with his brother."I can not give up on Arianna," Dylan's mind links back as he stubbornly increases his speed."Stop!" Lucian ran ahead of him and stood in his way, Dylan tried to take another path but Lucian is a well-trained soldier, he had suspected his movement beforehand, so he held back his tail loosely making Dylan yelp in pain."What the hell!" Dylan yell."Shift!" Lucian commanded.Dylan was hesitant but he eventually shifted into his human form."We can't continue running around in circles, we need help and I think this is a waste of time," Lucian said."Then call all the werewolves to come help, you will do that if it were Khloe," Dylan was furious, and with every second passed by he becomes irritated."Khloe is the Luna of the pack," Lucian corrected."And Arianna is my mate, Khloe is not yet your mate," Dylan said.Lucian opened his mouth to lash him out with his tongue but th
"What!" Iyyar said in shock.he ran towards the bed which was overflowing with Clarissa's blood, then he instantly turn towards Aliya, gripping her hands and almost going on his knees he begged."please save her," Iyyar was in tears.Aliya nodded and asked him to calm down, "Rissa had already lost consciousness and the babies are striving to stay alive in her tummy. I need you to calm down," Aliya said firmly.She gesture to Khloe to begin the pain reliever process, with unsteady feet Khloe walked up to her.She placed her hand on Clarissa's tummy, and for some minutes nothing was happening."Concentrate," Aliya said."I can't," Khloe shut her eyes tightly."She will die and it will be on you, your inability to be a better Luna, I thought you want our kinds to respect you? this is your chance," Aliya said stressing each one of her words so none of them would go unheard.Khloe pushed herself further and there was a tiny light peeping out her enclosed palm, gradually the veins on her hea
"Arianna!" Khloe yelled her name and ran after the car, the moment Leon saw her he hurried the men inside the car and they drove off with full speed."Arianna!" Khloe screamed.Lucian met her outside , he grabbed her hand and turn her over."Aria," Khloe pointed at the black SUV car."What happened?" Lucian was confused."Arianna, he took Arianna," Khloe said almost out of breath."Who did what?" Dylan ran out and overhead Khloe."Leon....he..he..""Slow down," Lucian tried to calm her, Khloe was panting so hard."Speak to me!" Dylan said impatient."What did Leon did?" Lucian asked calmly."He took Arianna," Khloe finally said.as soon as Khloe's word reach Dylan's in ear, he transformed into his big white with black patch wolf, he howl so loudly that Khloe and the rest had to cover their ears then he ran."Dylan wait!" Lucian tried to stop him but he was already gone.Marek came out and Lucia push Khloe towards him, "Take care of her," Lucian said and in her presence he transformed
The people all made way for the one that utter such words, they pave the way for him. A young dyed blue-haired guy with an obvious cheekbone and light brown eyes steps forward.he bowed to Lucian before speaking."I would never question you, my lord, questioning you meant questioning the goddess and I could never," he said."What's your name?" Dylan asked.Lucian was silent and observant, Dylan could tell that his calmness is only a charade as what will come after that is a storm."I would only speak to the superior king," The guy said stubbornly.the young guy look weather-beaten and dirty, his lips were chaffed and dry, and his shoes were dusty the only thing that might not make you see him as someone who had lost his sanity is his face which was shaved recently, he doesn't look like a responsible person neither does he look irresponsible either."you berated my queen you Luna and how do you plead for this offence you have committed," Lucian said.Lucian was nowhere ready to waste hi
the whole household gathered together in the living room, Arianna was forced by Dylan to sit on him, while Lucian sat on the big middle couch with a carving on it, he made space for Khloe to sit beside him."Does that mean am now his Luna?" Khloe wondered.some hours later the house becomes crowded with people, both male and female with an unusual energy.The only persons surprised at the multitude of people struggling to get a place inside were Arianna and Khloe.They throw glances at each other and shrugged when they also are not aware of what was going on.Khloe heard whispers of the people mostly they were all talking about her, some said she was weak while others sees the fire in her eyes, their critics and appraisal words made her choke with laughter.They were all excited about getting a Luna, "She looks so beautiful," Khloe heard someone whisper.Khloe looked around, she wanted to see the one who had complimented her."Oh I heard she was reincarnated by the goddess," She heard
