"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

I sleep first when I get to my room.Not because I don't want to respond to Lyros right away, but mostly because I don't want to meet him and have to respond to him right away. It's a complicated relationship and I figure if he's going to hurt me again for being late, then he should just do it.All the pain he's inflicted on me has only gone ahead to make me stronger and I don't think he knows what he's doing when he hurts me. I don't think he hurts other members of his pack, but from the stories i've heard i don't want to rule out the fact that he doesn't.Maybe that's why they're all so hard and stoic. I have seen them laugh, I have seen them grapple with each other playfully. I've seen them relax in each other's presence, but the moment Cain is around all that energy dies down a little bit.Every conversation is carried out in whispers and it's almost like they don't want him to hear what they're talking about. Like they can't afford to have him aware of what makes them so happy.

I lock the doors behind me and she says nothing. The light in my study is dim so I walk over to the curtains and open them.Adelaide stands as still as a statue, even the quivering in her lips has stopped. There's an air of beauty that she has to her, one that makes me want to see her cry for a totally different reason.I know she's crying for Cain, for the punishment she just saw me doling out. I know she's horrified by it.But no one disobeys me. Not even Cain.What did I ask for that was too hard to get? I have watched over him ever since he was a child, a mercy I showed knowing fully well that I ought to have killed him and thrown his little infant body into a stream. I should have done that and forgotten about his existence, but I let him live.I let him into my fold. I gave him strength, I gave him power, I made him what he is today and he will be whatever he will be because of me. I gave him a family!A place to call his own and a roof over his head. And what did I ask for in

He gives me a sword.Lyros hands the sword to me, leaning low so we are eye to eye and he's smiling as he does so. The only thing I can feel is my blood running even colder than it did before. There's nothing I can think of to bring up a spark in me.Nothing that can spark defiance, or hate, or even the need to kill him. Those emotions all lie dormant. Like they're all aware that i would be attempting an impossible feat if i decide to bring any of them out at this moment.I accept the sheathed blade and contemplate pulling it out right here and right now. I know he baits people with his actions, like everyone else is some piece on a chess board he knows how to play.I take the less violent of my two options and bow my head slightly. "Thank you Lord Lyros."I imagine a kick will come afterwards, or a slap, just some act of random violence to get rid of all the tension he's feeling, but nothing happens. He only chuckles and I hear his footsteps as he walks around the room."You can ta

Cain grabs onto my waist and kisses me, hauling me up and plastering me against him. His voice is a rough husk in my ear as he whispers “You did it, Adelaide.” Tears run down my eyes and he hugs me, holding my body to his as I sob into his chest. I don’t think I'd believe what just happened if someone told me it would a few months ago. All I wanted was to be free and run off to hell knows where, but I'm glad for what I did. Now I know I have parents, parents who loved me and a mother who would have done anything for me. I’m not just the pack omega destined to be maltreated and beaten for all of her life. The suffering I went through changed me. It gave me tougher skin and with the power of my heritage… I've just won back my kingdom. Freedom is mine if I want it. Freedom, and power, and love, if I want any of it, and all of it, and I do. I really do. I kiss Cain again, just to cement the fact that we are a thing now. We’re more than a thing. I’m wearing his ring. He’s as much

Lyros is no longer the all-powerful Lycan lording his majesty over the weak populace. We are powerful in our own right now.And in the face of real power, the Lycan king can only do one thing, cower, like a coward.Lyros attempts to run but almost like he knows it’s futile there’s no spirit in it. Lycan speed might have given him a chance, but running was just one final way of making a dash for his life.I flash and slam Lyros with my sword, the blade slapping the side of his face and drawing blood as he tumbles to the ground. I lean down and whisper close to his ear,“I don’t intend to kill you Lord Lyros.”I feel his heartbeat intensify as my words graze his ears but I continue confidently, “I intend to make you pay for all you’ve done. For the young girls you plucked from weak werewolf packs, only to kill them after torturing them, their dreams ended and hopes cut short because of your wickedness. I intend to make you pay for the cities you’ve attacked, the people you have killed,

I rip through the fabric of space as I burn.I feel the Lycan’s flame coursing through my being and it sets me on fire with the force of a supernova. I feel the strength of a thousand stars in me. The flames lick at my dress, burning it short and tattered, turning me into a version these men see, but which they don’t see at all.I wonder how many times Lyros has looked at me and seen nothing but skin. Nothing but clothes in pieces, flesh for the taking, a body to be claimed, and a mind to have fun with.I wonder how many times he’s seen skin and ignored the fire that rages in my heart. Ignored the love I have for the simple things. Ignored the fact that I am more than just skin and flesh, that I am heart and brains and emotion. That I am not his plaything.I am a Queen, and this Kingdom is mine.I kill the King beyond the border first. The battle with him takes less than an hour.In my hand is a sword hot as flame and solid as diamond. Rafie attacks me next so I slay him too.Raymel

We all stand in wait for her.Me, Rafie, Alizadeh, and Galan, all four Lycan kings, we wait for a weak omega female and something hollow rings in my chest. It was stupid to think I could find love.Even before the truth of Elara’s betrayal was revealed to me, I already knew. I already knew something was wrong with my heart and that I couldn't love properly anymore.I should have left it out of the cards, left love to those foolish enough to crave it but instead, I had to go ahead and try to keep her. Adelaide made me imagine something hot and exciting between us, something fiery and passionate, but at the end of the day, she’s expendable.She’s always been. Only I matter.A kingdom rests on my shoulders.“Is she on her way?”Rafie’s voice grates against my nerves but I nod. I’m not angry at him anymore. He’s doing what I didn't have the strength to do.Galan chortles where he stands and I feel my hands clench. I should kill him for using his trickster magic on me, but he saved my life

“How sweet.”Cain’s hand stops immediately and my foggy brain can’t even make sense of what’s happening. Has Cain taken me to the point of release this morning? Yes.I’m worried I might be a horndog.I turn to see Safira leaning on the doorframe. Her dress is so pretty, it drapes over her body like liquid and damn, I almost forgot how pretty she was.She smirks as her eyes meet mine, “Should I leave?” Cain answers sweetly before I can and his reply makes me chuckle. He goes “Yes please.”Safira’s hand twitches and a pillow launches itself at the back of Cain’s head. I let it hit and burst into subdued chuckles when he lets out a slight “oof.”Safirs sighs and shakes her head “You have a meeting in like six minutes. Will you be down?”Cain smirks lazily and shrugs. Safira’s gaze darts to me and she fixes me with an inquisitive stare, “Will he be down?”I nod because despite how much I want him to stay with me and kiss me silly, he’s already explained to me how things are here.He has

Diane visits me one last time in my dreams. She smiles at me and though my heart breaks, I smile back at her.I know this is the end. This is the last time I will see her, and as we stand on the sandy beach, our eyes locked on each other and the resemblance undeniable, I let her embrace me as a mother would her child, and I cry so bad my heart feels like it’s going to break.Diane kisses my forehead and wipes my tears, “You’re stronger than your pain my love. You know that right?”I want to nod. I desperately want to nod. The moment I saw Cain, the reality of what had happened to me seemed to come crashing down on me. The moment I saw Lyros instead of him, saw flashes of me and him behind my closed eyes each time I blinked….. How do I live with that?How do I live with the knowledge of all the things I did with the man I hate? A man who used me?I wish I could forget.“This is fire Adelaide,” I clutch Diane closer as she pats my hair down, tears still streaming down my cheeks “Like g

Anger makes my teeth crack as Adelaide asks me a question. She looks up at me, uncertainty in her eyes, her expression scared and bleak.“Would you still love me, if I showed you what Lyros and I have been doing these past few months?”Something threatens to snap in me but I know what this is.I’ve seen this before. I’ve done this once.I nod and Adelaide’s shoulders shudder. I can see how fervently she’s trying to control herself. How ferociously she’s attacking the emotions that are surging forth.Something’s happened, and when I ask her, she tells me everything.Trapped in a memory chain of the Lycan King’s making for three months, her magic being the thing he used to fuel that spell, Lyros turned her magic into her trap, and then she tells me what the memories were about. Entire years' worth of memories of her waiting for him patiently in the fortress.Memories of how he saved her from her pack and brought her to a better life in his care, Memories of how she became his personal p

Cain and Safira comfort me and tell me it’s okay. I can feel Cain’s concern for me like eyes at the back of my head.He’s always staring at me. He looks at me with such intensity that I feel all the things in my stomach churn and my thoughts go filthy. Memories flash past my eyes each time I close them.Memories of me and him in this world.Memories of me and him in a cave, happy sated smiles on our faces and our bodies totally unclad. We’re nude, and we’re comfortable.I see memories of deep and easy loving. Love that took me to the peak of pleasure, and threw me off the edge of my climax, again, and again, and again.My body begins to warm and Safira hits me on the arm, “For skies’ sake, Focus Adelaide. Are you sure you’re okay?”I turn to her and at the sight of familiar deeply tan skin and obsidian black eyes, a smile lights up my face. “I haven’t spent a day here and I’m already being mothered.”Safira grins and chuckles at that, and I feel light in my heart.She and Cain give

My heart melts with each passing moment i listen to Cain’s words and I almost can’t believe this is happening.My mind tells me if I blink he’ll go away, so I keep my eyes wide open, and I stare at him. I know it’s real when he stares at me in that same way.The lines of Cain’s face look new to me now. His warmth feels so familiar yet so alien. There’s an air around him that I can’t place, but I love every bit of it.I love it the way I love him, and when he leans in to kiss me again, I can feel the desperation in his touch. He’s as scared of me leaving as I am of him not being real in this moment. Finding him shouldn’t be this easy.It shouldn’t have been this easy, yet it was and I can’t seem to believe that.A sudden scream makes me cling to him like a frightened puppy until my brain realizes i know that voice.I know the texture of that squeall. I’ve heard that feminine tilt before.Safira’s scent invades my senses immediately and a warm body plasters itself to mine. She’s sobbing
