Joye

It's been a week since I returned from the Nithercott mansion, and I couldn't say things were particularly fine. Although Kaelan wasn't constantly trying to drown himself in alcohol, his mood wasn't especially the brightest. He still complained of his constantly reoccurring nightmares, and it had not been helping matters in the slightest of ways.

He kept his distance these days, with the fear that he was losing his mind and might actually hurt me if he didn't give me some space. I found that hypothesis ludicrous, but Kaelan did what he wanted regardless. According to him, he would disobey me if it meant that I was safe in the long run.

We didn't share bedrooms anymore and rarely had long meaningful conversations. Aiden wasn't helping matters either. Although I could see that he wanted to help me in any way that he could, he wasn't able to disobey Kaelan or even do anything that might chip the walls of their friendship. I came to accept that it wasn't his fault, and made peace w

  • Rejected, then Claimed by the Lycan King.   Few weeks feels like forever.

    Joye It was a sunny morning which was rather a rare sight during this time of the season. The illuminating rays from the smiling sun stabbed through my closed eyelids and had me turning over to the opposite side of the window. It was morning and way past my wake-up time, but today, I just felt extra lazy. My bones felt weak, and my lids didn't want to open anytime soon. However, being faced with the resilient rays of the sun, I was bound to give in. I rose from the bed and stretched myself before climbing down. I hadn't slept in Kaelan's room last night because he had been busy with some work with Aiden late at night. I knew my presence would become a hindrance and a distraction, so just last night, I decided to sleep alone for the first time this week. It only took minutes for Mary to discover that I was awake, and she was at my service almost immediately. After a clean and healthy bath, I was served breakfast alone. I didn't bother about Kaelan at the moment, ever since that nigh

    Kaelan The smell of coconut oil dosed in honey and the sweet attractive smell of pomegranate engulfed my nasal senses the instant I entered the room. Her scent had just overwhelmed me, but she was still fully clothed, not to mention that we were in the presence of my future mother-in-law and Aiden was right behind me. I had gotten here as quickly as I could the moment work ended. It was already close to sundown, and I couldn't miss saying goodbye to the mother of my queen. Not showing up before her departure would be seen as an act of disrespect, and I was far from being disrespectful today."Your majesty..." Emily greeted me with a bowed head. I wanted to stop her but decided against it. I knew she wouldn't listen no matter how much I tried to explain. Just like Aiden, she was the type who believed that respect should be given to those in authority whether family or foe."I'm sorry I wasn't here sooner, I'll make it up to you one way or another." I apologized, and Emily smiled. "T

    JoyeMy soul and body felt elated after I accepted Kaelan's proposal. Finally, we were going to be a couple and I could finally feel like a complete part of the family. My life was changing so rapidly, it was almost too good to be true.The wedding preparations had already begun, in just two days I will be wedded to the strongest and sweetest man on the planet. I had to pinch myself severally every day to assure myself that this wasn't one of my daydreams. But every time I was reminded by the pain in my arms that this was reality and that I was indeed getting married to the Lycan king. I had always imagined myself getting married to some prince in my reveries, but never did I imagine that it would be true. And even when I manage to convince myself that it was eventually going to come to pass, I never imagined the wedding to happen on this type of scale. Almost every wolf and Lycan in existence knew about the wedding. Some rumored that it might be the biggest event in history since t

  • Rejected, then Claimed by the Lycan King.   Stay off my life.

    Joye It took only eight hours to get to London, but alas I and Kaelan were free from the burden of kingship and queenship throughout the entirety of our honeymoon. Although I had suggested we waited a month to sort everything out before going on a honeymoon, Kaelan decided it was better to shorten it down to a week. While we were gone, Aiden was in charge of the kingdom and everything concerning it. Kaelan had already issued a strict warning beforehand that we didn't need disturbance of any sort during our honeymoon. The plan was to tour the entirety of Europe during our time off. We would likely spend a week in London, then fly to Wales, and then France and every other country of our interest. This was my first time touring the world, and I needed to make memories of everything we did, and every single moment we spent together as newly wedded couples. However, things weren't exactly going as I planned. Ever since we left the Lycan kingdom for our honeymoon, my phone has been plag

  • Rejected, then Claimed by the Lycan King.   Nothing comes in our way.

    KaelanEvery second I spent with her was worthwhile and I really couldn't ask for anything else. Joye was the best company, the best friend, and without a doubt, the best wife I could ever ask for. Although it's only been a week now since we began our honeymoon, it felt as though I've spent my entire life with her. However, things were different today. I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me that something was off with Joye today. "You've not been yourself lately, is everything alright with you?" I asked calmly, trying my best not to trigger any sort of emotions that she might be trying to hide behind her moody blues expression. "Whatever do you mean? I'm perfectly fine." She denied. Joye wasn't especially good at lying, and it was best she didn't start right now. Even a blind man could tell she wasn't doing fine, her depressing aura was literally clouding the entirety of the room. "Don't lie to me Joye, what's going on with you?" I repeated, this time a little more sternly. Somethi

  • Rejected, then Claimed by the Lycan King.   Again

    KaelanThese past days have been really difficult for me, not only were my nightmares consistent, I was trying my best to keep my nightmares from interfering with my relationship with Joye, and ruining our honeymoon. Never in my life did I imagine that trying to keep a vivid nightmare out of her mind would be the most difficult task I'll be put up to, but currently that has become my reality. Each time I opened my eyes to see Joye lying beside me I feared for her. With my mental health gradually losing its stability, I might actually end up doing something that I would not be proud of. I could tell Joye was noticing the changes in me, but since I wasn't ready to discuss them, she hadn't opted to point them out. She probably believed that it was important since I haven't told her about it yet, but I knew that overtime, she was going to ask questions, and I will have to give her a reply.This was probably the most difficult moment of my life, I wasn't working or doing anything strengt

  • Rejected, then Claimed by the Lycan King.   Back to safety.

    Joye We were back at the mansion now, and although our honeymoon was short-lived, I wasn't exactly mad about it. In fact I was happy with the fact that we were back in the safety of the royal mansion where Ethan couldn't try anything stupid. After our last encounter, I had purchased a new phone and also gotten a new number, there was no way Ethan could reach me or even think of harassing me in any way anymore. I still kept that night's encounter to myself. Kaelan would definitely go overboard if I told him that Ethan was stalking and threatening me throughout the entirety of our honeymoon. It's been a week now, and so far it's been really peaceful. I hadn't received any threatful calls from Ethan, nor have I even ran into him ever since that day. Things were slowly progressing to how they used to be, except this time Kaelan spent a lot more time with me. His entire schedule was completely altered after our marriage, and I couldn't complain. Although he did leave for work from time

  • Rejected, then Claimed by the Lycan King.   A descendant of Azira!

    KaelanThe entire palace was buzzing with activities, guests kept filing in and I was shocked to find out just how many members of the noble families I wasn't actually acquainted with. I solved that problem by introducing myself and getting to know them well, while Joye was preoccupied by the ladies who wouldn't leave her for a second. This was going much better than I had anticipated, I expected hostility between the families and Joye, considering that she wasn't even a Lycan, but that wasn't the case. They all seemed unfazed by her being different, and while few weren't very comfortable around her, the majority didn't really care. I would know because I could sniff out malice even when in a crowd like this. If anyone harbored any ill intent towards Joye, I would immediately sniff them out and deal with them effectively. After making sure that Amelie was doing fine, I headed towards the study for some alone time. Although my nightmares still plagued me every night, I was learning t

    Joye A month had passed since the events of the red moon, and so far everything has been peaceful. Damages around the Kingdom were being repaired, and the Lycans and my people have reached a mutual agreement to not indulge themselves in war again. As the leader of our respective clans, Kaelan and I had been the ones who reached this agreement, and the others had complied. Both clans suffered casualties, and nobody wanted to feel the pain of losing a loved one ever again.A memorial was held for the soldiers that had fallen in battle, and their families were compensated. Although the destruction this time was mild, we all knew that everybody wouldn't survive. It was a tough problem to deal with, but thankfully we were able to pull through and stop a century old curse from wiping out good people.After the night was over, the elders had all visited me to apologize. I never really cared about them, but I still accepted their apology. We weren't friends, and I certainly wouldn't involve

    JoyeIt was just as I had expected, not everyone of the infiltrators had listened to the man from earlier who I had learnt his name to be Luke. Out of the six infiltrators, two had remained adamant and continued to cause chaos in the mansion. As the only person who stood a chance against them, I had to intervene. Once again I had left regaining my strength to protect everyone in the castle, and fighting two people at once was no easy task. The little strength I managed to regain I had lost once more and time was quickly running out. There was barely thirty minutes before everything ended. If I failed to break the curse within these last minutes, then everything and the deaths would be for nothing. My strength wasn't fully restored yet, but I couldn't waste anymore time. Aiden and the others were waiting for me, I couldn't keep them waiting any longer than this. I got down from where I was, and took a deep breath, it was now or never, I couldn't risk failing a second time. "Let me

    Kaelan"She failed?" I gasped just before I decapitated another adversary. A man from Aiden's unit had just informed me that Joye's first attempt to break the curse had not been successful, and she was yet to return to try a second time. We had barely thirty minutes until the red moon falls, and if she didn’t manage to break the curse within those thirty minutes, then we were doomed to repeat this experience in the next two years. I was already back in my human form due to exhaustion, and I was losing more strength as I fought off the unending horde of opponents. Although we had managed to keep casualties on our side to the minimum, most of us were already out of energy. This last thirty minutes would be the determining factor of this entire situation."I'm sure she's going to make it." I voiced out to the messenger's hearing. "Tell Aiden and the rest to keep guarding the place, I trust Joye, she won't back away so easily." I ordered while holding off the crowd from approaching the m

    Joye I had no idea who sounded the alarm, but I recognized that scream very well. It was Olivia's voice, I had no idea what had happened to her, but I was certain she wasn't doing well. "You need to rest, she's not important. You need to conserve your energy in order to face Azira." Rainbow advised. She had read my thoughts. I wanted to rush out to save Olivia, but Rainbow had reminded me just how much I hated Olivia. Wasting my energy on people like her wasn't worth it.Countless times Olivia had shown just how much she despised me, and I still had no idea why she hates me so much. I wanted to blame it on the fact that I was different from her and the rest, but I knew her hatred went beyond just being different. "She's Kaelan's sister, I have to help her." I said, but Rainbow wasn't on board with that decision."Save her then what? Waste your recovered energy on another fight? If you leave this room you're going to run into an enemy. And once you run into one, you'll be forced to

    JoyeI sat on the podium that tormented my every nightmare, the same podium where Azira had been burnt. I could feel her energy all around me, but I chose to focus on completing my task rather than focusing on a dead woman. She had caused pain for these people, and needed to be stopped at all cost. The red moon had already risen, all I needed to do was end the curse on time and help the Lycans regain their strength. This was a do or die situation, failure was not an option.I savored the flow of power in me. The pure energy that flowed from the air and nature around me. This was purification, the air around me was being purified and soon the kingdom will be as well. This curse has harmed a lot of innocent families and stolen happiness away from them. I was going to restore the peace these people once had and stop this curse once and for all. I was almost at the climax of power when suddenly the flow stopped, my body suddenly began feeling unwell and for some reason. I felt pow

    KaelanEvery passing second felt like a torturous hour to me. Only twenty four more hours were left until the red moon fully rose in the sky. In a few hours my people would be torn apart by the demons that hunt us every two years. Joye was our only hope, if she failed to break the curse tomorrow night, then we were all doomed. A handful of the enemies had already made it past the borders, and although we had managed to capture a lot of them, there were still some that were in the kingdom waiting for the right time to strike. It didn't matter how much we fortified our borders, the enemies always found their way in. It was something that was beyond our control, but that didn't mean that we would just leave the gates open for them to jump inside all willy nilly. The fear in my heart was persistent, but I chose to have faith and trust in Joye. Even though everybody doubted her, my trust in her remained unwavering. She had trained from morning till night, the least I could do to acknowle

    KaelanThe day was calm, and although everybody seemed calm and happy, I could tell they were all horrified as the seconds passed. The red moon was approaching fast, and everybody was on high alert for the few intruders that had been spotted randomly around the kingdom. Although we had managed to get our hands on some of the intruders, they committed suicide immediately to keep themselves from leaking any information. James had tried using magic to extract information from them, but that too had not worked. These men were prepared more than ever, and I feared that things might actually be worse this time around. Speaking of James, I had been trying to get close to him and build some level of trust between us, but the man gave me no chances. He was Joye's father, and as her husband I wanted to know more about my wife's father and their people. However, James had the complete opposite in mind.He really wanted nothing to do with me and he made that abundantly clear every single time I

    JoyeAlthough Kaelan seemed a bit hurt by my words,he didn't exactly take it to heart. He knew that what I was saying was the truth. His people did kill my people because of one person, and he knew that it was wrong in all sense. "You have to come with me, Joye. They're going to come for you if you keep staying here." The stranger maintained. He had not given up on taking me out of this place, and the both of us had been so engrossed in the argument that I had forgotten to ask for his name. I only realized that I didn't know his name after he had called mine out without thinking about it. "I don't even know your name. What should I call you?" I asked because it definitely wouldn't be father. Even if he was my father, he was going to do a lot more than this before I can acknowledge him. He might be trying to save my life now, but I could have died a thousand times before in Nightfall Pack where he left my mother and I to suffer. "It's James." He answered curtly. "James..." I drawl

    Joye I woke up with a slight headache, it was already past noon, and Kaelan wasn't in the bed anymore. I remembered passing out near him after countless hours of healing him. Somehow I couldn't help but feel that everything was my fault. If I had listened to what he said, and hadn't let my pride and anger get in the way, perhaps I might have saved him before things got critical. I got down from the bed, my head still spinning and the energy in my body at its minimum. I had overexerted myself to the point of losing consciousness, I didn't particularly expect to wake up full of energy. I managed to saunter into the bathroom to run cold water over my throbbing head. I felt a bit relieved and happy at the same time. The fact that Kaelan wasn't on that bed meant that he had regained consciousness and had left to carry out his duties. I wasn't mad that he wasn't by my side when I woke, I was far too focused on the fact that he was okay now to get angry. I called for Mary and demanded fo
