Saving Her Lycan Chapter 37: Preparing For the ball
**_Lilac_** I step out of the vehicle that had been sent by the King to bring me into the palace, without Kael. He was not home when the convoy came and I could not reach him through the phone either. I wonder where he went to. It is funny how royalty and people at the top can easily brush off things that happen to those beneath them like dust. My thinking might be irrational, but seeing the grand decoration of the palace as I step inside, I cannot help but wonder if King Alvarez even heard of the murder case and Roman’s attack, which I know he certainly did given how he had singlehandedly stationed guards and prevented me from entering Roman’s hospital room for reasons known to him alone. The palace which looks more like a castle now looks entirely different, and the medieval touch I once thought it never had is now gleaming in full force. How much revamp did this place undergo in just a week or so? The recieving hall is beautifully decorated wiwith theold and silver tapestry and
Saving Her Lycan Chapter 38: Cinderella in the ball.
**_Lilac_** _Lycania is dead._ The first sentence on the untitled book with the crest from the library. It looks like it is a novel and if the opening sentence is like this, then I wonder what the whole book is all about. I read on. _Maybe in decades to this time, no one would remember the real reason Lycania was split into two. Maybe no one would know about the Wylanda clan.. Maybe no one would even know there was once a country that accommodated both shifters and Lycans in one peaceful pack or maybe not peaceful, because we only tolerated each other and kept to our side of the city. Maybe no one would even remember the real royal house of Lycania. Maybe no one will, because our dignity has been stolen and our rights and titles have been ripped from us. Misplaced trust caused this. Trust no one._ ~ Entry #1 "Lilac!" I slam the book shut and shove it inside my clutch. "Lilac, are you in there!" It’s Issy, she probably noticed my absence in the hall. Since I fel

**_Kael_**Victim: Kira Crowley.Age: Nineteen.Murder weapon: A weirdly crested dagger.Suspect: Not found. "Three deaths and one casuality in a row, this is more than just a rogue attack Father."We are in a meeting with the three Elders of City affairs and the Lyncs General and although Father never allows me attend such meetings, yet I had come here regardless. I was never concerned with royal matters or politics, but this one seems to be getting out of hand and I just cannot sit back and watch. Thankfully Father did not say a word when he saw me enter.Talon's angry gaze keeps flying across the room, he hates that I am here and I do not give a damn."It is an undeniable fact." General Caulder agrees. "It is turning into a case of serial killings.""You cannot come to a conclusion like that when it has only happened three times." Talon pins me down with a glare as he speaks."Three times is enough to take actions. Do you expect to wait until another in

**_Lilac_**"In a span of three weeks we have lost three of our students and one has been injured and is currently in coma. This is a strong warning to all you students of the academy to be at constant alert. We have listed down some protective measures that you must follow. First, do not walk alone-" The Dean's voice fades into the background as I drift away in thoughts.If someone had told me that murder cases and constant fear of the unknown would have been a part of my life four months ago, I would have laughed, but here I am — story of my fucking life. My head aches badly and I really wish all this isn't happening."It is weird that the killer leaves clue at the scene you know? He could have just removed the dagger." Issy muses as we walk to our next class., Issy decided to attend classes with me for this week along with hers and even when I protested against it, she only waved it away because according to her, my safety is her priority."The killings were deliberate I guess." I

**Lilac** "WYLANDA." I instantly push the tablet back to her, glancing around. "Why are you showing me this? And where the hell did you see that?" "Because I need answers.. And I got the picture while doing some research." I frown and then feign a disinterested look even though I am dying to know what all this is about. Pergaps if I can get to the root of this then the stability of my life will be guaranteed. "That has nothing to do with me, I do not know why you think I can help. By the way there are other Lycan students that will kill for a research with you, what does an Human like me know?" "I saw you reading that book." Beryl says, folding her arms. I clear my throat. "So? Now you're stalking me?" I spit my words. "Goddess! No! The book... You got it from the library right?" "Obviously." I huff. "And you can read it?" I roll my eyes tiredly, already getting strung out of Beryl's weird antics. Why did I even decide to listen to her in the first
Saving Her Lycan Chapter 42: Who are you.
Victim: Kael Aspen Age: Twenty six Assault weapon: A weirdly crested dagger Suspect: Not found. *KAEL* A flash of metal and silver whips past me or at least that what I seem to remember — A weirdly crested dagger. Beep. Beep. The continuous monitor sounds are deafening, messing with my brain. The smell of healing magic in the room duels with the natural smell of antiseptic. I am in an hospital. Footsteps draw closer, the door does not open but whoever it is stands by the closed door. "Is he awake yet?" It looks like there are two people at the door, and the first voice sounds weirdly familiar, but I cannot place it. "He is not, but as the special Lycan he is he would definitely survive this. He should be awake in maybe five hours." "How are you so sure of that?" "Because the sedatives works for ten hours, and if is only been five hours since we administered it to him." "Good. Tell me immediately when he is up, okay?" "Of course Y
Saving Her Lycan Chapter 43&44: Baby Steps.
**Lilac** "Someone tried to kill you, do you remember that?" Carla asks Kael. It's been three hours since I found out my husband does not remember me or anyone in particular, three hours since I have begin to question my life in this stupid Lycan city, three hours since I have started replaying Nina and Milo's words in my head of how I will actually die here in Lycania. Could things actually get any worse? Issy has gone back to the palace, I wonder if the royal family already knows of his condition and if they did, why have they not contacted Carla? Kael shuts his eyes at Carla's question, his index finger rubbing on his eyebrow in deep thought then he shakes his head. "Nothing. I remember nothing," He says. I groan inaudibly. This is so fucking bad. How can he not remember anything? He didn't hit his head or something... So what the hell is going on? Kael stops rubbing his brow and then his gaze meets mine again. "Can I have some space with my wife please?" He says to Carla without
Saving Her Lycan Chapter 45 & 46: Mysteries are Matchmakers
**Lilac** Queen Jada left the dining room saying she needed to rest after Kael went outside with the king. The rest of us stayed behind except Carla who also left for something important according to her. I keep glancing at the doorstep wondering what King Alvarez would say to Kael. It is one thing for me to act like I don't care about him, keeping my distance because I didn't know how to act around him when he seemed so different from the man I had come to know for the past four months . But it is another thing knowing that there is no love lost between Kael and his Father and he does not remember that and now they are alone. My fingers are trembling beneath the table and I try to avoid everyone's gaze even Issy's. "Are you okay sunshine?" "What?"I blink at Issy's question. "Are you okay? You don't look so good." She repeats. Talon scoffs. "The girl is still frightened after four months... Too bad your husband can't even remember you." "Talon, do not start." Lola grits at him.

Saving Her Lycan Chapter 63: Epilogue? From Kael's POV
*KAEL* I have no idea how I manage to drive all the way down to my suite. My need for Lilac is like the moon reaching for the sun's light. My ache for her is like an itching on my skin that needs to be expelled. My lips are on hers the moment we step inside. She gasps at my sudden intrusion but I care less as I deepen the kiss, my hands reaching for her neck as I back her against the sofa. I kiss her like it is the last thing I am going do and she meets with that same frenzied innuendo. We are drinking each other in like starved wolves, every each of our skin fraught with sensations. I reach for her dress zipper, but stop myself to look at her, silently pleading for access. Lilac reaches for my belt , and that is all I need as I pull her zipper down and her dress falls to the ground. I ift her up, my lips meeting her again as I lead us both into the room and onto the bed. My clothes are off too and I feel her shiver as I press against her. "It's your first time, isn't
Saving Her Lycan Chapter 62: This Is Not The End.
*LILAC* I thought I died. If that dagger could have killed a Lycan in an instant, how much less a mere human like me. But then I woke up, two weeks after, in an hospital bed. It took a while before I could process what was happening, heck I could not even understand. Carla said the works of the fates were beyond our reasonings. Carla had stood at the door entrance of the room, watching as I came to life. Her first sentence to me was; "You did good, Lilac." Maybe I was dreaming, maybe all these was a little game before I finally stepped into oblivion, but then he had walked in his eyes redrimmed with dried tears black hair falling disheveled against his face. He had sprinted towards me, and he had cupped my cheeks with scarred palms and he wept on me. "I love you, Princess," he had whispered repeatedly. He was real. Everything was real. I lived. A week after, I had attended the trial of Talon and his wife, they were both stripped bare of their m
Saving Her Lycan Chapter 61: The Last Dance of a Princess
*KAEL* I have always thought it weird that I found myself more comfortable with Isabelle than I ever was with Talon, even way before I knew how cunning and cruel he was, but now I know, it is because there was never any need for us to fraternize because we are not even related by a single pint of blood. The crowd breaks into a frenzy, everyone trying to run for their life. My Father sits with shock as if he cannot comprehend that he has been fathering another man's son for years. Talon, in his changed form lunges towards me or rather my wife, and I do not hesitate but jump between them . It is like I am an invisible wall protecting the woman I love from any harm that may come from my beloved brother. Sarcasm intended. I feel his claws dig through the fabric of my shirt as if they could go straight through my flesh and rip the heart right out of my chest. "You've always liked to stick your nose where it does not belong, brother," he snarls. "Is this why you
Saving Her Lycan Chapter 60: The Last Ball
*LILAC* Two weeks of immense training on how to use the arrow. Two weeks of attending Lupin without Isabelle. Two weeks of finding out that Beryl Caulder isn't as bad as I thought... And two weeks of Carla trying to teach Kael king duties. King duties. It feels surreal that he is even thinking of taking the throne from his Father. I know it has something to do with the Klux that Beryl, Romwn and I have still not gotten his identity. Kael knows something, but he is not telling us. I do not bother him because I know that eventually everything will come into light. The Klux has not attacked since that night. Raul, Emery and Perez has been buried and Isabelle has not left the palace since the royal guards came to take her away from Carla's place the next day after the incident. Today is the Last ball of the mating season and today is the day Kael has decided to confront his Father to step down from the throne. Nothing could go wrong, right? But the hope is farf
Saving Her Lycan Chapter 59: Who says?
*KAEL* I hate surprises. From the on start of my life, I have always hated surprises. Birthday surprises? My mother made sure there was nothing like that after I went into a full panic mode the first day she had organized one for me. My gifts were never even wrapped because I hated wanting to know what was wrapped inside. The scent. Fuck! Why did I never think to that level? Why did I not piece two and two together way before now? Maybe I would have stopped the deaths, maybe I would have– Fuck. It's late when I get back — Carla's home precisely. I find my way into the kitchen and fish out a bottle of whiskey from the cabinet. Only if I was not immune to alcohol. I do not bother to take a cup as I uncap the bottle, bringing it to my mouth and gulping it readily. The sting in my throat is welcoming, I do not stop, not until I hear footsteps and her scent tickles my nose. As a moon Lykae, sometimes the ability to recognize scents very easily could be more of a cur

*KAEL* The familiar gates of the Lyncs barracks greet me as I ride in. I waste no time in parking my scooter and head to General Caulder's office. He will not be expecting me, nor what I have for him. Atwater is the first one I see though, my supposed roommate, he is also headed to Caulder's floor I suppose. "Hey, Atwater!" I yell. He stops and slowly turns back to stare at him, he gasps, his eyes grew wide wide with shock. "Your High... I mean Lieutenant Aspen? Is that really you?" "Obviously. Are you headed to Caulder's office?" He nods. "Come with me then." Atwater says nothing as he leads the way to Caulder's office, he is probably wondering why I am being friendly to him when i never even cared about his existence during my stay here. Getting to Caulder's office, Atwater raises his hand to knock but I push it open instead. Caulder abruptly looks up from his system at my interruption. I cannot tell if it is a genuine smile that graces his fa

Victims: Perez Gillero, Raul Nyx, Emery Lon-Nyx Ages: Twenty, Twenty-four, Twent-three respectively. Assault weapon: A weirdly crested dagger. Suspect: Not found *LILAC* "I killed them," she is saying hysterically. Her black curls are all over the place and eyes red rimmed with tears. She looks like she is going insane. I cannot imagine how it would feel to loose all the people she had once called friends. Even I who had only known them fleetingly can feel my heart ache at their demise. Is it Perez? Or Raul and Emery who had just celebrated their mating ceremony some months ago. My own tears are falling and consoling Issy is getting harder by the day. Carla comes into the room. "You can leave," she says. "I'll handle this." I do not argue with her because I am just as mentally stressed myself. So I leave her to it and find my way into Kael and my room. It is the dead of the night, probably around 12, Beryl had gone back after staying for an hour whi
Saving Her Lycan Chapter 56: Victims
*KAEL* I should trust Lilac to be okay on her own. I should not follow her. But this nagging feeling gets the best of me and I find myself walking closely behind her, being subtle enough for her not to notice. It is when I see Russo and Caulder waitibg for her that I realized she lied and she was not going to use the restroom. We are here. "We should find somewhere to hide." Russo is saying. This is when I step out of the shadows. "I do not think that would be necessary." "Holy shit!" "Kael?" Lilac's eyes are wide as saucers when she notices me. "It's funny how you want to find a secret organization when you can't even tell that I have been behind you." "You followed me," Lilac says in disbelief. "I did," I reply her. "I thought we agrees we were going to solve this together, so what is this going behind my back to find some organization or whatever the fuck this is about?" She snorts at my outburst. "You left this morning, obviously to find some clues yourself right? Why
Saving Her Lycan Chapter 55: Skol Again [2]
*LILAC* "YOU ARE NOT GOING WITH US, KAEL!" Issy is yelling at her brother. "Unfortunately you cannot tell me what to do, Isabelle," He grits out. "It's Issy goddamnit!" "I'm going with you and that's final!" "You are only going to ruin our fun, what is wrong with you brother!" "Twice i left her in your care, and something terrible happens!" "That's not a me problem. That's your city's problem." And then a pause. I gasp because I only just noticed the slipup, To Issy, Kael is not suppose to know that. "You lost your memory Kael, how do you know that?" Shit! This time Issy' voice is low and full of so much pain I had no idea she carried. She repeats her question, rather slowly this time, emphasizing on every syllable. "You lost your memory Kael, how do you know that?!" "Carla and I told him some things," I try to defend. "You are lying," She mumbles. "You both are lying to me." Tears start to form in her eyes and I cannot help the guil
