"I have been informed of the attack that took place in my absence." Lyros's voice booms through the space and the warrior Lycans all stay converged on the lower floor and looking up at their king. "This new threat is nothing like any we have ever faced" Lyros's voice is cold but i can tell he inspires a sense of awe in his subjects "A werewolf male with eyes the shape of crescent moons and Lycan like abilities, it will be hard to deal with him. It will be hard to deal with the rest of them out there wherever they are, they may be stronger than us and faster than us, but stepping into the home of a king and threatening its inhabitants should be the one thing they should have never done." The warriors grow still and Lyros takes in each and everyone of them with hard calculating eyes. "We will find them, and we will end them. If they are fast then we will be faster, if they are strong then we will be stronger. We are Lycans, and Lycans don't cower in fear because of lowly dogs." The
The hall leading to Leah's infirmary is bustling with warrior Lycans.I don't think i've ever come across this many outside the training auditoriums and i know i spend more time wandering these halls than any of them have spent outside it. They're always training and they never leave that place.They converse well with each other but i don't think they talk to anyone else other than themselves. Only Cain and Rhys have made any efforts to say anything to me and even then, they always have their own motives. I don't know if I want the rest of them to talk to me if they're all going to be like that.It's not safe and it's not something I would want.Cain is not in Leah's space when I get there so I just place myself into a bed and release a loud sigh. I want to fall into a deep sleep."Hey, get up sleeping beauty."Leah smacks me on the lap and I groan, rising from the bed and only now realizing how much my face aches. Hells, the Lycan king sure knows how to slap.Leah sits down on the c
I look at the dress Leah has fitted me into and I frown. "How is this supposed to help me with my next mission?" She smiles behind me and grabs the light semi transparent material I've been draped in. "I think it looks perfect." "It's barely covering anything on my body! I can't walk in this thing knowing fully well I'm in a state of semi nudity." Leah chuckles and drops the line of fabric. I take a good look at myself in the mirror. Hell no. No, no. No. This thing barely covers anything on my body. The strips of fabric are held together at the back with strings, Leah has helped me loop them in but i still don't want to walk in it. The whole dress is made of a wine red colored fabric, the top starts out off my shoulders, the sleeves are long enough to reach my wrists but that's by the way. Two swaths of fabric cup my breasts and keep them in place, but even with that I can still see the light color of my skin through the net like fabric. The fabric extends down into the ski
"Is she still in her room?"Leah nods and shakes the contents of the bottle in her hand."Refused to come out for the past day and a half now.""Even for food?"She chuckles at my question and nods."Even for food, Cain. According to the maids, her response was "I'm eating enough right now already!" "The way Leah makes a perfect impression of her should make me smile. Mere conversation about her should make me feel like the world is brighter, but it doesn't.Instead, I feel cold inside at the thought of her. Leah soaks the bandages in the substance she's been shaking all this while. The sharp tang of the antiseptic fills the air and I flinch again, like I always did when I was a child. This always happens when Lyros administers one of his beatings.There's something about his ability that clashes with mine and hence the result being me feeling out of depth for a while.If Leah notices it, she doesn't say anything. She presses the bandages to the nasty wound on my shoulder and I bite
"Open the door!" The sound of banging annoys me and I roll my eyes as I flip to the next page. Don't they ever get tired? "I'm not going to! Threaten me all you like, I'm not opening the damn door!" There is righteous vindication in my bones and I don't really know what that means, but I know it means I am not going to open the door. I have been here for the past two days and I've barely moved from this spot. I sleep here, wake up here, go back to the book i am reading here. I'll end my second day in isolation here, with this book open in front of me and my legs propped up. I've barely finished the second and the two day break is almost over. More than that is the fact that they're all disturbing the hell out of me and making me waste even more of my time telling them I'm not coming out. Even if the Lycan king himself came to the door, I would not open it. "Adelaide! Open the door!" My eyes move from one line to the other, the story coming alive the more I devour the words and
My hands move and pleasure rocks through my body. My cock is rock hard and painfully so but I can't help the desire surging through me. Fuck. My mind pictures Adelaide as she had been just now, her hair in disarray like she had just come out from rolling in the sheets. My mind places me in those sheets with her. Me on top of her and her body, her shapely body, and firm breasts... "Fuck." I chase release like it's the tonic I need to live. "Cain?" My hand stills and there's the sound of knocking at my door. "Cain. Are you in there?" I turn over and groan into the pillow. Fuck all this. "Cainn! Are you in there?" The banging is persistent and I know she won't go away unless I come and tell her to. It's annoying that she can't take hints sometimes, for someone so intelligent she seems to have a problem taking hints. "Cain. I can tell you're in there y'know." Rhys's voice this time and I groan once more. "I'll be there in a minute!" I grab the spray at the stand of my bed a
So apparently stepping out of my room the way I looked yesterday had been a bad idea.I still don't believe it was that bad an idea. Lycans certainly can't be so affected by a werewolf can they?Wrong.I feel like I'm going to melt from all the looks being directed at me. I'm barely halfway through breakfast and I've already lost the appetite to eat. There's a lot on my mind and being the center of attention is not helping.That having been said, where's Cain?I look around for a glimpse of white hair and silver eyes but I can't find him anywhere. I know he doesn't have his breakfast in the cafeteria with the others, but I always like to assume I'm the one who's always absent when he does. I would have waited until he came around, but I don't think it would matter if I'm nothing but a puddle by the time he's here.Another scorching gaze sends a shiver down my spine and I look away from the male who's eyes mine has mistakenly caught.Okay, I need to get out of here.I stand up and look
Cain and Rhys deaden their conversation when they "notice" the Lycan king has arrived and they carry on with eating. I've always wondered why they don't give a formal salute or something like that here, but Lyros doesn't seem to enforce that as a rule and the Lycans under his rule don't seem too inclined to start the habit.Cain's eyes catch mine for a brief second and I wonder what he's trying to say until Lyros walks over to their table and sits on a chair he drags over.If the hall was silent before, it's extra silent now and a smile spreads on Leah's face. I cock an eyebrow up at her and she shrugs, but I can see there's something she knows that I don't.There's something she knows that we all do not and she's the only one who seems to enjoy the awkwardness in the atmosphere. I feel like I'll melt if I sit here any longer so I take my leave.Today is a new day and unlike the Lycan king and the rest of them, I don't plan on spending all of it in the cafeteria.My buckets are waitin
