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

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

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

Joye My hopes had been crushed even before they could begin, just on the night of the mating ball. “Crazy! Come over asshole,” I heard Aurelia chuckle and I knew my troubles were just a step away from me. Still scared about all that was to come, and if she was going to throw dirt on my face like she did just last week when I had ignored her call, I raised my face to her. She stood in front of me wearing a beige colored dress which I would have agreed fit her perfectly well if she was not a thorn in my life. “Is there any problem, Aurelia?” The last thing I wanted was for Aurelia to see my weakness, as it was her strength and I did not want her depriving joy from bullying me, not on this day. “Ohh, you now call me by my name. So much to expect from a weakling that loves to be reminded of her place.” She was starting with the taunts again, and even as this was not just the day for it, not when I felt invigorated and positive about the ball that was happening at night, I re

Joye I could not breathe. It felt like all of the walls were closing in on me as I fled the hall and as I kept running, holding my dress up so that I would not trip and fall, tears streaming down my face, all I could hear were the voices. Those damn voices. "You are not my mate." "How can an omega be mated to an Alpha?" "Such a weak girl, but she is pretty though, right?" "The goddess must be playing a prank on us." "Just look at her. Was she thinking that he would accept her?" My ears kept ringing and I could not stop the tears that fell from my face, clouding my vision as I ran down the hallway and all I could visualize was how Aurelia would be laughing at me right now beside Ethan. I had always thought Ethan was attractive, I would not lie but dating Aurelia? And defending the nonsense that she did at school made me sure that he was the bad type of guy and not even those beautiful ocean blue eyes of his could change that, but for a second when our scents hit each other, for

JoyeSuffocating. It felt like I was suffocating in this dark room that seemed to close in on me with each passing minute. Rushing towards the door, I screamed and kicked at the door over and over again, to the point that one of the guards growled and warned me to move away or he would come in to teach me a lesson, but I didn't stop. I would take hundreds of beatings if it meant that I was going to get out of this room. But the more I banged on the door, the more it seemed like there was no help coming for me. My mother had been chased away by the guards and even her voice that had been distracting me from the panic that had been incited by my presence in this tiny space was no longer there. There was nothing to focus on. And so I kept banging on the door with my hands until they felt raw and kept kicking at the door until my feet hurt. When I was so exhausted, my body hurt all over, I fell to the ground and closed my eyes tight, trying to regulate my breathing and think positi
Rejected, then Claimed by the Lycan King. The pull… amazing!
Kaelan"If we do not hurry, then you might have to shift your meeting with the nightfall pack to some other time, my Lord." Aiden, my right-hand man said, and from where I was sitting, waiting for the Alpha of this pack to come back with the photocopies of the signed documents that sealed our business deal, I hummed. I didn't need to go to the Nightfall pack today if it was too late but for some reason, I could not ignore the pull that I felt to go there today. It had to be today. Why? I had no idea but I was never one to ever not listen to my intuition and if it said to go there today then so be it.And that was when the words Aiden had called me registered in my head and I looked away from the view of the garden that I had been staring at to where he was standing like a bodyguard, ever so serious. "Aiden, don't you think that the title you just addressed me might be too serious? I have told you that you can call me by my name. Times without number."His expression did not change a
Rejected, then Claimed by the Lycan King. I was insignificant!
Joye "Mate?" I wondered in my head. Surely this man had mistaken me for someone else. Just yesterday I had confirmed that Ethan was my mate, and now this? A lowly omega like myself couldn't probably be able to pull two mates. Or could I?"Stop it!" I yelled at myself mentally. I was head over heels for myself and was losing touch with reality. This was all just one clumsy mistake. Very soon this man will see me for what I'm truly worth, and in no distant time will disregard me, just like everybody else. "Mate? That's impossible." It was Ethan who spoke this time. If I didn't know better, I would have said he was being defensive about this whole thing. Why the hell would he care? He never wanted me to be his mate, so why on earth was he trying to go against this stranger's claims? Although I had no idea who this man was, and my eyes were far too weak to comprehend his looks clearly, I wanted him to take me away from this place. Don't judge me, I understood he was a stranger, and fro

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
Rejected, then Claimed by the Lycan King. That I was sure of!
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
