Lucas' POV“We would need to do a ritual” Ruby said.“What ritual?” I asked.She looked at me with a disgusted expression. She rolled her eyes and said “I don’t know about it”“You don’t know about it?!” My father shouted.What was this woman up to again? Couldn’t she be straightforward?Ruby folded her arms, looked down before looking up again and said “I don’t know about it but I know who we could meet to do it. He is very experienced in curses. He has cleansed a lot of people from their curse” she explained.“Ok fine. How do we get to meet him?” I asked. My voice sounded really hasty.“I will call him. He will be here tomorrow” Ruby replied.I had let go of Octavia and she stood behind Ruby.“Make sure you do or else…” my father warned and he never joked, especially with things like this.He stormed out of the place and slammed the door. He was getting hysteric. It was something he couldn’t control. When you have made him angry, even for the smallest of things, he will make sure yo
Lucas' POVI went to check on Damon. He had been sleeping for 24 hours now. Dean said it wouldn’t take too long before he woke up and it had been a full day. I kept checking his heartbeat frequently. Even though Dean said the curse was broken, we couldn’t be too sure about it. Besides, it was Ruby who recommended him. She could do anything. She just didn’t care. My father and I locked Dean, Ruby and Octavia in a room until we were sure about Damon’s recovery.I placed my hand on his head to feel his temperature and it was warm. His temperature was very okay. I checked his heartbeat and it beat fine. I tried piercing him lightly with a needle to see if he would wake, but he didn’t even budge. I usually pierced my brother with sharp objects to wake up, because he slept deeply. No matter how much you shouted or tapped him hard, he wouldn’t wake up. The sharp objects was what I used to get him up. With just a small pinch, he would wake up. He slept straight, looking very pale as if his bl
Ruby’s POV"You look gorgeous in this dress, my darling." Alpha Damien's words were admiratively spoken to Sierra. He had a proud smile on and whenever he looked at her, you could see affection and love twinkle brightly in his gaze."Thank you, my love. I really love these dresses you bought for me, and the jewelry too. You are so kind." Sierra gushed, and her eyes mirrored the look in his; they stared at each other with esteem fondness expressed on their features, like young teenagers newly in love. And as much as I'd hate to admit, it's obvious that he loved her more than he ever loved me. My contemptuous frown deepened when he leaned in and kissed her. She kissed back of course, giggling lightly against his lips as she did so. I grimaced as their actions made me cringe. I averted my eyes with a scoff and crossed my arms over my chest.After Damon was released from his curse, I was allowed free will around the house for some time, and I decided to use it to my advantage. Now, I was
Andrea’s POVI had a hard time accepting the fact that my father was doing all of that for my own good. He locked me up in my room for the first few days after I tried attacking one of his guards. Kira, my wolf, was restless too. She wanted to see sunlight, and walk in any other place than the floor of this room.But as time went on, she began to calm down. I felt better, and didn’t feel like plucking my hair from its roots out of frustration. I made peace with the fact that he was keeping me here to protect me. He was my father, so there was no way he would hurt me. He was keeping me here to stop me from going right back to the arms of the people that hated me.He didn’t want to do this at first. When he realized that I was raped by Damon, it made me way angrier. He said to me that he was going to go to Alpha Damien’s pack and he was going to hunt down Damon and kill him, but I stopped him. I didn’t want my mother or Alpha Damien to get hurt because it wasn’t their fault.I woke up t
Third person’s POVIt's been days since Damon's recovery and he's been doing very well. By the look of things, it seems Dean the witch's rituals had actually worked. Lucas and Alpha Damien had demanded that a huge feast be celebrated in honour of his recovery, but Damon didn't really like things like that. He refused of course, and said that being alive with his family was enough for him. Today, Alpha Damien had summoned the twins to the Central Meeting Room. The Central Meeting Room in the Alpha's palace was a special, confidential and tightly secured room. It was rarely used, and only occupied when very tactical and serious pack matters were to be discussed. Matters like the one af hand today; Who will be the next Alpha of the pack?A crucial matter at that. And their father had finally been able to device a 'fair' method that'll aid the selection of the next Alpha from his twin sons. A hard decision to make, as both were equally qualified and strong but a kingdom can't have two
Third person’s POV Andrea sat in front of her mirror, a curling thong in her hand. She wrapped a bulk of her in the opening of the hot machine and pressed on it, letting go of the hair afterwards and the waves bounced on her shoulders. She was preparing to leave with her father, he promised her that they would go to the city today and they could do anything she wanted. Andrea was elated and excited that she could hardly contain herself, occasionally giggling when she conjured up images in her headspace of how much fun she and her father would be having soon.After a few minutes, she was done curling her hair and she got up from her seat and walked to the bigger mirror that was on the wall, just next to the door. Her hair was nearly curled and beautiful, not to mention her outfit as well—a blue jean, black top with white laced sneakers. Her father had bought the sneakers for her and they cost a lot, he said he was ready to spoil her and get her anything she wanted. Anything at all.
Lucas' jaw dropped in surprise as he felt his paining cheek, where Andrea's hand had met with it and left a stinging pain."Andrea! You slapped me?" Lucas yelled with baffled wide–eyes. Andrea couldn't even answer his question, she broke down into another set of tears and lowered herself by her father, gently tapping him."Dad, are you still here?" Her hands lingered on his chest as she spoke those four words with a break in her voice. One, two, three, four, five; five seconds passed in silence and not a sound was heard other than the sniffling sound of Andrea's sobs. Her father didn't respond back and she felt an agonizing pang grip her heart. With shaky hands, she lifted his hand to check his pulse and she could barely find any life in him. The poison worked very fast. She dropped the hand and it landed on the ground limply, marking the exact time her heart broke, shattering into a thousand fragments. She stared blankly into space, unmoving, as she tried to comprehend everyt
Peter's rogue territory was quite the distance away from Alpha Damien's pack and it took almost a day for them to return back from it as they had traveled by road. The next morning, the day had dawned and activities at the palace had begun to kick–off, it was about seven am. The grand palace doors opened and Lucas and Andrea stepped in. She was a bit feeble from all the traveling and the emotional rollercoaster she had been subjected to, so she leaned her head on Lucas' shoulders and his arm wrapped around her, holding her close."Oh! They're back! Andrea is back!" A maid passing by was the first to see them and a beaming smile sat on her lips."Welcome back. You must be tired, I'll go get you water and food as well. I'll be back." She spoke her words in an excited ramble, unable to contain her happiness and she dashed to the kitchen to do as she had said.A light smile was on Andrea's lips—a few months ago, nobody acknowledged her and paid attention to her, but now there are people
Later in the evening, there were cheers coming from everywhere. Most of the pack members were there, cheering on for the person that was going to be the next strongest leader of the pack. Most of the people were cheering for Lucas, because he was the better twin. He was the nice twin while Damon was a jerk to almost every living thing that passed by him. Damon smirked as he put on his combat clothes, staring at himself in the mirror. To his side, Octavia stood there. She was cheering him on as she had passed the powers to him. If something happens to him, then she was going to be hurt by that too. It might even result in her death. But Octavia was too confident in her abilities that she was willing to risk it all. “You’re going to go in there and make me proud, Damon.” She nudged him. “Oh, don’t worry about that. I will crush him and then, I will have it all. Just like it is supposed to be.” He adjusted the last bit of his clothing before he turned around to face his sister. “He’s
Damon led Octavia downstairs, their footsteps echoing in the grand hallway. As they reached the spacious living area, he gestured towards the seating area, indicating for her to take a seat. Octavia scanned the room with a hint of disdain before settling herself onto a luxurious couch.Damon stood tall, his posture exuding authority as he addressed Octavia. "Let's get down to business, Octavia. We have important matters to discuss."Octavia leaned back, crossing her legs, and raised an eyebrow. "No pleasantries, Damon? Is this how you treat your guests? Not even a simple offer of a drink?"Damon sighed, his patience tested by Octavia's constant needling. He had little time for formalities when the weight of their responsibilities loomed over them. "Octavia, this is not a social visit. We have urgent matters to attend to. There will be time for pleasantries later."Octavia smirked, enjoying Damon's discomfort. "Always the serious one, aren't you? Fine, I'll humor you for now. But don't
As the morning sun cast its gentle rays through the windows, filling the room with a soft glow, Sarah and Damon found themselves lost in each other's embrace. Their bodies intertwined, their lips locked in a passionate kiss, their desires intertwining in a fervent dance of longing.Time seemed to stand still as their fervor grew, their senses consumed by the intoxicating closeness they shared. Every touch, every caress, ignited a fire within them, fueling their hunger for each other.But just as their passion reached its peak, a sudden knock on the door shattered the moment, jolting them apart. A knock came, sharp and unexpected, sliced through the air, casting an unwelcome intrusion upon their intimate haven.Startled, Sarah and Damon quickly disentangled themselves, their breathing heavy, their faces flushed with a mixture of desire and surprise. Their eyes met, a shared understanding passing between them as they realized the need to compose themselves.Damon hurriedly adjusted his
"Do you really want to do this, Andrea?" Lucas asked again. He wanted her to be sure about the decision she was about to make. He didn't want her to regret any of it later.No, he wanted her to remember each and every moment of the experience with a happy smile, and an ache to have him again. That's what he wanted.This wasn't her first time – her first time had been with Damon in the unfortunate rape incident. But he didn't want her to think of that whenever she thought of her first sex. He wbated her to think of thus ore"Stop talking and kiss me" Andrea slammed her lips back onto his with double the intent, desire, and craving. Her kiss ignited a spark of fiery passion within him he didn't even know existed until now.He had never felt this sexually awake in his entire life before. No woman had ever made him feel this sort of stimulation. But Andrea was different, completely different from the rest. The mere ecustence of her was enough to arouse him, let alone having her lips again
Andrea smiled and then looked out of the window, lost in her own thoughts. The scenery passed by in a blur as they drove along the highway, the wind blowing through the open windows. Lucas couldn't help but keep stealing glances at Andrea, lost in his own lustful thoughts. Her gown hugged her curves in all the right places, and had a long sleeve that showed off her long, toned legs.As the wind continued to whip through the car, Lucas couldn't resist the urge any longer. She looked so beautiful, so sexy, so breathtaking. Andrea was a true work of art, and ever since he got a taste of her lips, he has always been wanting more. Not just more of her lips, but more of her…Lucas forcefully shook those thoughts away. Turning his attention back to the road, Lucas focused on the task at hand. He tightened his grip on the steering wheel, feeling the cool leather under his fingers. The steady hum of the engine provided a comforting backdrop as he pushed aside any distractions.Andrea's gaze sh
"Lucas please wait…" she cried after himTurning to Andrea, he spoke with a hint of desperation in his voice. He stood by his car, frustration etched across his face."Andrea, please... just leave me alone for a while. I need some time to think,"But Andrea, undeterred, met his gaze with unwavering determination. She knew that Lucas needed her support now more than ever, even if he couldn't see it at that moment."I can't leave you, Lucas," she said firmly, her voice filled with conviction. "I won't abandon you, especially not when you're feeling like this. We're in this together, remember?"Lucas sighed, torn between his desire for solitude and his love for Andrea. He realized that she wasn't going to give up easily, and perhaps he needed her presence more than he initially thought. With a heavy heart, he relented."Fine," he muttered, opening the car door and sliding inside. "But don't say I didn't warn you. It's going to be a bumpy ride."Andrea flashed him a small, determined smil
Lucas's voice quivered with disbelief as he questioned his father's decision, his eyes pleading for an alternative. "Father, I understand the need for a tie breaker, but must it be a fight to the death? Isn't there any other way we can determine a victor?"Alpha Damien's gaze met Lucas's, a mix of sympathy and resolve etched on his face. He paused for a moment, considering his son's words, before he responded with a heavy sigh."Lucas, my son, I have considered every possible option for a fair tie breaker," Alpha Damien began, his voice tinged with regret. "But any alternative I present would invite accusations of bias or potential cheating. The stakes are too high, and the tensions between you and Damon are palpable."Alpha Damien's eyes flickered briefly towards Damon, a subtle indication of the underlying conflicts that simmered between the brothers. The weight of unspoken rivalry hung heavy in the room, highlighting the need for an impartial resolution."I fear that if I were to p
On the other hand, Damon's expression was unreadable, almost as if he was trying to will himself to be unaffected by the romantic display.Meanwhile, Lucas and Andrea clasped each other's hands tightly, sealing their commitment to one another. Time seemed to stand still as the couple basked in the warmth of their love, their unwavering devotion palpable to all those who witnessed it. Their eyes locked in a silent vow, they knew that they were meant to be together, come what may.Damon's mind was a whirlwind of conflicting emotions as he watched Lucas make his announcement, declaring Andrea as his mate. Part of him felt a surge of bitterness and jealousy, thinking that he was the one who deserved to be with her. After all, he and Lucas had both rejected her in the past, and now Lucas had suddenly changed his mind.But as Damon's thoughts delved deeper, a pang of guilt began to creep in. He couldn't deny the truth that he had once posed a danger to Andrea's life. The memory of his previ
"That's enough!" he bellowed. His voice reverberated in the small space, and all eyes were now on the Alpha. Even in his seated position, his towering presence and authority were undeniable. "This is neither the time nor the place for such childish behavior. We're here to address critical matters, not engage in pointless squabbles."As Alpha Damien spoke, Lucas and Damon's eyes met and a spark of resentment flickered between them. Both brothers were still simmering with anger from their previous disagreement, but they knew that their father's words were a reminder of the seriousness of the situation and the need for composure.Lucas gulped in a deep breath, attempting to calm himself down and regain control of his emotions. He could feel the tension in the room and knew that it was his responsibility to take the first step towards reconciliation. He turned towards his father and spoke, "I'm sorry, father. I let my emotions get the best of me."Damon reluctantly nodded, realizing that
