Rejected, then Claimed by the Lycan King. Regrets!
Kaelan I should be home right now seated by Joye's side, but instead I found my way to the local bar, where I got myself high on alcohol.Empty bottles of beer stacked up on my table, and despite the dizzy feeling in my head, I still ordered for more. I just couldn't bear staying at the mansion and watching Joye in that condition. She didn't deserve it, and I just couldn't help but blame myself for everything. If I hadn't taken that book away from where it used to be, none of this would have happened. But because of my selfishness, not only was Joye in a critical condition, she had also lost her baby. I wanted to scream out in rage, but each time it felt like my emotions were going out of control, I drowned them with alcohol. It was the only thing that could probably keep me from going insane right now. "Shouldn't you stop? You won't be able to drive home in this condition." A feminine voice advised. My vision was blurry, but I could still make out the features of her body and fa
Rejected, then Claimed by the Lycan King. Non stop chaos- my child now.
JoyeI tried to force my eyes open amidst all the commotion, however everything turned black the moment I felt a needle stick into my side. My vision became even blurrier, and the next time I opened my eyes, I was on the hospital bed, I had needles sticking into my arm, and Kaelan was by my side.My body felt cold, the only warmth I could feel was the pain in the spot where the needle was sticking in. I felt a bit dizzy, but this time I forced my eyes to stay open. "You're finally awake.." Kaelan commented, a sad smile on his face. The atmosphere was gloomy, and I could tell with one glance that something was wrong somewhere. As I tried sitting up on the bed, I realized that I was way lighter than before. The bulge on my stomach was gone, and suddenly my eyes widened in realization. "What happened, Kaelan?! Why can't I feel him?!" I yelled, my hands holding strongly onto his shirt. "Joye..." He paused, took a decisive look at me before spilling the tea. "They couldn't save the baby
Rejected, then Claimed by the Lycan King. Non stop chaos- anywhere but here!
JoyeI spent two whole days at the hospital, but finally I got discharged. Kaelan stuck around by my side most of the time, but his presence was really beginning to irk me. The only reason I wasn't constantly trying to push him away was because of my mother. Just like Kaelan she was always by my side praying for my recovery. She helped me process my grief better, and even though I still worried about my baby, mother let me understand that it wasn't the end of the world. That as long as Kaelan and I still loved each other, I'll definitely have a child of my own. I honestly wanted to tell everything happening between Kaelan and I to her, but I decided against it. Not only would it be disrespectful, I didn't want to stir up any animosity between mother and Kaelan.The mansion had been cold the first day I was discharged, and I could already guess most of them had heard about everything. Even though I appreciated their sympathy, I absolutely loathed the look in their eyes. It was pity,
Rejected, then Claimed by the Lycan King. Where is Joye?
KaelanI sat in silence, the day's paper in my hand, and Aiden right beside me. He watched me steadily like a hawk and wasn't okay with my recent attitude these days, but there wasn't really anything he could do about it right now. He knew well about my distress, and he knew the only person who was capable of handling it was Joye. Trying to talk me out of my misery would be meaningless, because I wouldn't even listen. "Are you going to keep staring at me all day long?" I asked with my eyes still buried deep in the pages of the book in my hand. Even without lifting my head to see, I could sense his pupils on my back, and they haven't left for a while now. "I think you're worrying yourself far too much. I'm sure Joye will forgive you soon enough, we both know she's still dealing with grief." He lamented before finally turning his eyes to the window."You worry too much, I'm going to be fine." I reassured for the umpteenpth time. Aiden probably knew that I was lying, but he didn't arg

JoyeI found my way into the forest, heart pounding hard, and my sweat pouring down my face. Unlike the last time with Ethan, I had no destination whatsoever. There was nowhere to run to and nobody to run to as well. Right now I was just wandering the forest while praying that I do not run into any problems. "We should go back home Amelie, it's not safe out here." My wolf advised, but I wasn't listening. There was nothing to go back to. My husband hates me, and everybody around me considers me a threat. Being around that much negativity was just too much for me to handle alone."What about mother? Aren't you afraid that she might do something to herself?" Rainbow asked. Not saying goodbye to my mother was probably the only regret I had right now. She was the only person who was good to me in this entire world. I understood that I should have at least written her a letter or paid her a little visit before making my escape. But at the same time I also knew that doing any of those thi
Rejected, then Claimed by the Lycan King. Maybe a failure?
KaelanIgnoring me was one thing, but trying to run away was a whole different case. For her to consider leaving my side forever meant that the little trust she had for me might have disappeared. I knew keeping secrets could destroy a family, but I never really expected that Joye would actually try to run away from me. She was willing to be a rogue wolf rather than stay by my side, and that alone was enough to tell me that I had failed in being a good husband. Aside from this morning, Joye hadn't said a word to me since her return. And despite all my attempts to make peace with her she still wouldn't budge. Aiden advised that I give her a little bit of time to heal, but staying away from her and watching her suffer was just unbearable for me. I sat in the study, my eyes glued to the screen of my computer, while my thoughts wandered away.I was already falling short in my office duties, and things have not been going well at the company lately. Deals were being lost, and the rate o
Rejected, then Claimed by the Lycan King. I am Azira!
JoyeI remained on my bed, my tears streaming down my cheeks while my heart tore apart in complete anguish.I had been a fool to think that I could live a happy life with a man like Kaelan.. I should have learnt from my past, but no, I let my emotions cloud my eyes from seeing the truth. It didn't matter now, once again I was the victim and there was nothing I could do about it. This was the price I had to pay for being so gullible, the price I had to pay for thinking that I could find happiness in this accursed world.Even when I blatantly gave him the solution to all of this, he didn't say a word to me. I just sat there while tears slowly streamed down my cheeks. Gathering my composure, I wiped away the tears on my cheeks before sitting up on my bed. I needed to get him out of my head as soon as possible, but that wasn't possible when everything around reminded me of him. The only person who could do anything about this was me, and the only way I could solve this problem was by rid
Rejected, then Claimed by the Lycan King. Salvation first!
JoyeWith a bowed head, I showed my appreciation to Fenrir. I offered him a much more buoyant form of appreciation, but the humble old man turned it down. He said that breaking the curse of Azira would be the highest form of appreciation I could show him. And although I had no idea on how to accomplish that feat, I assured him that I would do everything in my power to do so. After I was done with getting my information, I rejoined Mary and the guards outside, and together we all returned to the mansion. Throughout the journey, my mind rampaged with thoughts and theories. Was I really the descendant of a witch? Did my mother know about this? And if she did, why had she not said anything to me? I was sick and tired of everybody keeping secrets from me, even my own mother. I pushed the incoming rage out of my thoughts, getting angry wouldn't solve anything. Now that I had learnt more about everything, I was beginning to understand why they would think keeping all of this away from 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

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
