Rejected, then Claimed by the Lycan King. No, it is my fault.
JoyeAlthough Kaelan had left the garden momentarily, I still felt as though the storm was yet to calm. It felt as though my touch was the only thing that could calm him down, and now that I wasn't holding him, his rage was growing once more. I was right, like an enraged warrior, Kaelan came storming back into the garden. His fists were clenched in fury, and in a matter of seconds, he has descended on the defenseless knight and was once again pounding him to a pulp. Unlike the first time, Marcel didn't make any attempts to save himself. He probably couldn't even if he wanted to. Looking at him it felt as though he had lost hope in life, and was just waiting for Kaelan's last blow to send him away to the afterlife. This time around I couldn't move, the adrenaline rush earlier had sapped away all my strength and my legs had become heavy. If Kaelan wasn't stopped, I might end up hating myself forever. Just as I was about to force my body beyond its limits, a fourth figure joined in o

KaelanI knew a day was far too short for her to make up her mind, but still, I felt disappointed with her body language. It was clear her mind wasn't yet made up, and she clearly wasn't ready to be wedded to me. I felt sad, a bit angry maybe, but not at her. I was angry at myself for not meeting her sooner, but alas the moon goddess knows best. "It's not like I don't want to get married to you, it's just... it's just... I still need a little more t—""It's completely fine," I interjected softly. "You don't have to explain yourself to me, you're free to make your own decisions." I reminded. My cold eyes bore a little heat in them, and that helped to reflect the warmth I felt inside; the burning desire that she never seem to dwindle even in her absence. I was becoming a changed man, and it was all thanks to her. As my eyes met hers, I saw relief in her beady blue eyes. Her once-scared persona was fading, and she was adjusting swiftly to me. Although I loved the sight in her eyes, I

JoyeI woke to the beautiful light of a Monday morning, two days after Kaelan had told me about the ball. Although the official date had not been announced yet, everybody around was already getting hyped up for the special day. Preparations were being made in the most extravagant ways possible, and it had me questioning fate and reality once again. My hand swung towards the noisy alarm, and I quickly turned it off before sitting up on my bed. Minutes later, a knock came on the door and I authorized entry into the room. I already knew who it was, as it was the obvious daily routine."Mary..." I drawled out lazily."Good morning your highn—" She paused after her eyes fell on the expression on my face. Then rapidly, she corrected herself. "Good morning Joye." She greeted me with a light bow. I had permitted her to address me as Joye, and not with any formal titles, but Mary would never learn. "How are you doing today, Mary?" I asked with a wide smile."It was fine, Joye, thank you for
Rejected, then Claimed by the Lycan King. Respect. Forced?
Joye "Do not refer to her as rejected, ever!" Kaelan warned, his dark eyes twinkling with rage.I swallowed the lump in my throat and leaned in closer to Kaelan like a child seeking protection from her mother. I knew without a doubt that these men detested me now. They probably considered me trash and unworthy to be in their midst. That much was evident from their facial expressions and the earlier remark. And now they were being scolded because of an ordinary reject, their hatred towards me now knew no bounds. "For someone who's barely considered an elder, you sure do run your mouth a lot, Homer." Kaelan taunted, his dark gaze focused on the elder whose lips were now sealed in both fear and embarrassment. "From now on you'll address her as Queen, she's my mate and wife-to-be, disrespect of any kind won't be tolerated. Now apologize and accord her the respect she deserves.""Your majesty—""I said apologize!" Kaelan interjected. A heavy pressure descended upon the room and with it c

JoyeTwo hours have passed now since the meeting ended and Kaelan was yet to be back. I had already gotten one hour of sleep, and had spent the other hour reading books. Time to time, my mind would wander off in thoughts regarding Kaelan's attitude back at the meeting. Was he always like that? I would ask myself. And only then did I realise that I didn't know Kaelan one bit. The only Kaelan I knew was the one he presented to me. I had no idea how he spent his days, his interactions, likes and dislikes. We were about to be mated and married soon, and I had no idea who my future husband is. It was scary to a certain extent.An idea came to my mind, 'Sneak into his room and find out more.' I shrugged the idea away. Doing so would only cause a rift in our relationship if I get caught. Although everything about Kaelan appeared mysterious to me, I couldn't risk searching his room. That was what I thought. It wasn't my intention to yield to the overwhelming curiosity building up in me. Bu
Rejected, then Claimed by the Lycan King. Crazy nightmare!
KaelanThe thick scent of blood filled the air, and with it, the smell of burning flesh. Everything was in ruins and flames engulfed everything around me. The earth was boiling, and the air around was dry, so dry that it was unhealthy for the lungs. Although I was submerged in the midst of all the chaos, I felt no pain. My bare legs walked through the hot burning soil, but I felt no fear, no pain, no emotions whatsoever. It was horrible what was happening, and yet I couldn't find out how and why all this had happened. What had I been doing?!The bones of fallen warriors littered the streets, and the wails of women and children had become the melody of the day. As I walked amidst the chaos I had only one thought in mind; 'Find Joye!' Although my mind was already torn about by everything happening, I still couldn't wander away from the fact that I wasn't with her. If anything happened to her I would never forgive myself. Slowly my pace increased, and in no distant time I was speedin

JoyeThe day was moving much more slower than it usually does. Kaelan had left the house before I woke up, and once again I had to spend breakfast by myself. I didn't judge him, he was the Lycan king, and a huge businessman, he was a very busy man. As always, I spent most of my time reading and doing well to increase my vocabulary and my knowledge about everything. Things were going pretty well until I got tired of reading and eventually got bored. Although the mansion was massive and all, there was absolutely no fun thing to do here. Mary was the only person I could hold some sort of conversation with, and even at that she was always too formal. I knew that as long as Kaelan was king and I was soon to be queen, developing a casual relationship with anybody around would be very difficult. With Kaelan's policy and act, they would all be terrified of speaking to me in any informal way. It was exhausting and annoying, but I had to learn to live with it. I was already getting used to i

KaelanYesterday was nothing short of hectic. The heat of the preparations was mostly felt the previous night. But after a successful night, today was finally here, the ball night and possibly our mating ritual.It was evening, barely sundown, but people had already begun flocking in but in mild numbers for now. The event would not properly start until the next three hours. And it would hold until dawn the next day. I had decided to get some rest and be refreshed before the event. But now I was awake, fully rejuvenated, and ready to get the events started.I got down from my bed and took a quick shower before heading over to Joye's room. I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me that she was nervous and probably scared. It was okay for her to be nervous. This was her first major occasion in this kingdom, and she was yet to be fully adapted. Then there was also the problem of her not fitting in, I understood fully the situation she was in, and that was why it was necessary to give her a con

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
Rejected, then Claimed by the Lycan King. Part of the process!
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
