THE LYCAN'S DUEL Past Engagements and Present Duels
LUCIUSI was shocked that I would have to fight another person in the duel, and I could feel my heart beating fast. My eyes were red with unshed tears. I knew for a fact that there would be no way I would be able to win the fight, but I promised myself not to give up easily on that. I had made my promise, but there was no way I was going to break it.It came as a huge shock to me after knowing that Freya had approved of me fighting twice, and not only me but others also. She knew that I'm not strong enough to go against two people at the same time, but she doesn't seem to care. All that was on my mind was that she didn't care what happened to me during the fight; she only wanted me to win. She wanted me to prove how strong I am to others. She wanted to flaunt me by doing that, but what I wasn't expecting was that she would do something like this. It hurts me to know that Freya is aware of this, and she even allowed it. I have always thought that she would try to help me whenever I'm

SeleneIt hurt me to take the biggest step in life. I knew that I shouldn't have made up my mind to come to Freya's pack, but I have no choice. I wanted to know and confirm if what I heard from Lucius was right. I knew that it was so lame of him to break off the engagement over a letter. I wanted to believe that he was the one I was sending letters to all this time. I have no reason to believe what was written in the letter since I haven't confirmed it was him. I knew that the reply I was waiting for and wanted to hear was that he would say he wasn't the one who wrote it but someone else.I prayed and hoped that he didn't know anything about the letter. I would be glad for that, but hearing the news and rumors traveling all over the pack makes me want to believe, but I had to hold onto my trust that he wasn't aware. I knew that the reply I might receive from him while we met wasn't going to be a pleasant one, but I was ready to hear it. I knew that if it was all wrong, then I had made

Selene"You are asking about what I'm doing here, Hun?" I asked angrily while staring at him. The pain I was feeling in my heart vanished immediately. I couldn't believe that he would say something like this. He isn't the same person I know; if it were the same person I know, then he wouldn't be saying this. "Are you the one who wrote those letters to me?" I asked while staring at him curiously. I knew it was dumb of me to ask such a question, but I want to confirm it even after knowing that I will be hurt more if I hear him say that. "Selene, you shouldn't be here," Lucius replied while staring at me calmly. I felt my anger rise to my perk, and I felt my heart break into pieces like it was pierced by a sharp edge of a sword. I knew what he was trying to do. He was trying to find ways to lure me away from asking my question. He didn't want to reply to me, and I knew with no doubt that he was the one who wrote it; he was trying to find ways to avoid the question. I knew that he does
Last Updated : 2023-12-04THE LYCAN'S DUEL Love, Jealousy
FreyaI couldn't leave the arena immediately because I was being held down by my father,, who told me to wait a little for Lucius to change,, but I kept having conflicting feelings about all this. I feel like the moon goddess was trying to punish me by making me his mate. It hurt me to know that my mate is someone weak,, and not only that, most of the pack members were all aware of this,, and even outsiders knew about it. I knew that I shouldn't be thinking like this, but I felt like things would go wrong while he would be fighting tomorrow. I knew that there was still much more time before tomorrow, but I seemed impatient. I have conflicting feelings about what to do if he fails. I felt my heart hurt knowing that I might lose him to Selene tomorrow if he is weak. I couldn't help but think he was doing all this intentionally.I knew that he had broken off their engagement over a letter, but that doesn't mean that they can't get together again. I knew if things were to get out of cont
Last Updated : 2023-12-04THE LYCAN'S DUEL Looming Threats
SeleneI was left in the garden in pain and all I could do was nothing but stare at her. I feel my heart thumping heavily and tears fall freely from my eyes. I couldn't believe that Freya was this cruel. I knew she was in pain but she didn't care about me. I knew that she sees me as a rival but that doesn't mean she should have left him. I had thought that Lucius would try to stay with me but he didn't. I feel my heart ache with that. My eyes were puffy red due to the fact that I have been crying for some minutes now. I could feel my body shivering from the fact that I was left alone.I felt like I had been abandoned by him and I knew that was the truth. There was nothing else I could do other than for me to sit down. I sat there for a while and I suddenly started shivering again and this time it was much worse than the first time. My lips were becoming pale and all I did was curl myself up in a corner. All what had happened earlier keeps replaying in my head. I felt my heart ache.I
Last Updated : 2023-12-11THE LYCAN'S DUEL Conflicting Loyalties
LuciusWhat was wrong? I couldn't help but wonder. Freya's sudden change in mood caught me off guard. I found what was happening to be completely bizarre. I needed to find out what was happening, but she had moved in the direction of the pack's square, so I missed my opportunity. I was aware that it would be difficult for me to determine the true situation, but based on my assumptions and her actions, it appears like she is envious. I wondered what was going on, even though I understood that she might have been jealous of Selene being with me and all that. I couldn't help but wonder why she seemed so envious as she approached me. I understood that she was justified in feeling envious, but not to the extent that she would scream at me. She appears to fluctuate in her emotions differently. I was aware that she might have believed that Selene and I were going to date. She's unaware of the fact that I can never return to Selene. I realized that waiting for the duel to end was the only t
Last Updated : 2023-12-11THE LYCAN'S DUEL Heartstrings Unraveled
FreyaI ignored Lucius's existence as we watched the duel. My heart was aching and all I could do was sit down while trying to pretend like everything was alright. I don't know what I would do if he happens to want to be with her. I knew that things won't be as good as I have planned out before the duel if he happens to lose and not only that if he goes back to Selene.I knew that it would be cruel of me to separate the two of them if he happens to lose the duel. I wasn't praying for him to lose but I knew that's what I should be expecting. I knew that if I don't think of him winning then I might be able to get over him easily. I shrugged true thoughts out of my head and tried hard to focus on the duel.I was angry with the way Lucius defended Selene and I can smell something fishy. He kept trying to tell me that nothing is going on between the both of them, and he kept saying that she only wanted to be his friend but all I can see is just excuses for him to be with her. I knew that h
Last Updated : 2023-12-11THE LYCAN'S DUEL Strategic Maneuvers
Selene I was feeling angry inside, not wanting Lucius to quit, but I still looked at him with concern on my face. At this point, all I want is agony and misery; I'm not worried about him anymore. Since I knew he would lose the duel, I wanted him to suffer at the hands of the opponents he will face tomorrow. I'm going to come watch him be humiliated because I'm confident of it. If I didn't want to watch him suffer serious injuries, I wouldn't have wanted to come tomorrow. Not to mention the pressure of having to travel here. I was positive that coming here would require coercion, but that isn't the case; I am willing to travel here to see my fiancé, who ended our engagement so he could be with his partner and lose her to another man, rather than because I was coerced. He doesn't seem to realize that it was all part of my strategy, even though I knew that saying so would bruise his ego. Although I anticipated that he would become discouraged, I don't want him to give up on the duel. M

THE LYCAN'S DUEL Embracing Destiny
Days have passed since the event, and everything is going as planned. Since Lucius and Freya had made the decision to move on with their lives, it was as if nothing had happened over the previous few days. They've made the decision to live in the present rather than the past. They made the wonderful decision to hold both their coronation and mating ceremonies since they understood not to dwell on them. As they get ready for the coronation, which is set to start at noon, they are all grinning.There were guests everywhere, and there was a lively buzz about the pack. There were lots of sounds coming from the pack as people were chatting about the evening's event. After the event, everyone seemed to adore Freya and Lucius. It was no longer a mystery that the werewolf council's leader wasn't as good as he had claimed to be; everyone was aware of what had happened. The fact that Lucius's father was the late Lycan, who previously led the werewolf council, is now well known.Everyone adored
THE LYCAN'S DUEL Lycan's Awakening
LuciusI was furious about everything that was happening, but I was powerless to stop it. I was furious as I listened to the so-called alpha tell me all he had done to my parents. If I hadn't wanted to deviate from the plan, I would have demolished the entire house out of anger. I understood that carrying out that action would compromise the original intent of this plan. I now see why Freya warned me that I may be betrayed by anyone, and that would put me in danger. I was aware that the man's only goal would be to murder me. I was getting so upset at everything he said to me about my parents that I thought I could lose my temper. Hatred toward the man who was accountable for everything that had occurred was visible in my eyes. I realized that it was all his fault that I had never had a wolf in the first place. I was aware that he posed a threat to everyone and that my goal in ending him was to do so immediately. I knew that if things had gone wrong, it wouldn't have ended well, so I
THE LYCAN'S DUEL Thorne's Vengeful Intentions
ThorneIt came as a huge shock to me to know that all this was a plan from Freya. She made me look like a fool. She had outrun me and found ways to protect her mate at all costs, and I felt myself wanting nothing other than to kill her. My eyes turned red as I tried hard not to kill her immediately. I knew that there would be no words of all this to anyone out there if they were both dead. I knew that I had to kill Freya and Lucius, and I have been trying to avoid that as well. It hurt me to know that I would have to kill someone like Freya someday, but I knew there was nothing I could do to escape that. I knew that I would end up killing her today to make sure everything that happens here stays a secret. I knew that I would also have a chance of acquiring Freya's pack for myself. I knew that it would make my pack more broody than it is. I was happy that I would finally be getting a new pack for myself. I knew that it wouldn't be easy for me to take on Freya since she is a strong alp
THE LYCAN'S DUEL Freya's Stand Against Deceit
FreyaI woke up as quickly as I could, ignoring everyone. I knew that they all thought that I was still grieving over Lucius's disappearance, but I'm not. I knew exactly what was going on, and there was nothing anyone would say to me that would make me talk to them. Everybody was extremely worried about me and how I'm fairing without Lucius being kidnapped. I didn't eat last night because I didn't know how Lucius was fairing wherever he was. I was glad to know that the men I had sent to go after him were with him. I had a new sense of security. I walked toward the direction of the place where Lucius was. I shifted into my wolf's form after I noticed that I still had a lot of distance to cover. I shifted back into my human form after I had gotten to the place, and the guards who were there bowed their heads immediately when they saw me. They all wore smiles on their faces, which makes me believe that Alpha Thorne hasn't done anything to him. I knew that they wouldn't be as calm as the
THE LYCAN'S DUEL Freya's Unexpected Arrival
Thorne I was glad that things had worked out my way, and I woke up early in the morning just like I had planned. I sent a letter to Alpha Titus the previous night, telling him the location where we would be meeting to kill Lucius. I was glad that the alpha meant business since he understood my fear, and I was glad that he still wanted to proceed with the plan. I make my way out of my pack with a look of happiness on my face. Anyone who sets his or her eyes on me will notice the vibrant smile that is on my face. I was glad that my plans had fallen into place, and I don't have any reason to panic anymore. I was glad that all this had happened, and I knew I wouldn't have made progress if not for the help of Alpha Titus. I have made up my mind to make his pack flourish more, and that means helping me eliminate Lucius.I walked toward the direction of the cave in which Lucius is being held, with no one following me. I knew that there was no way I would be harmed, and that was because I a
THE LYCAN'S DUEL Caged Deception
LuciusI was brought to a location in the woods after the rogues took me away, and I couldn't help but feel afraid about the entire situation. I could see the fear of the unknown in my eyes. I let out a little moan, my lips giving way. My body froze as I was pulled into what appeared to be more of a cave. I was immediately out of breath and dazed. With a shiver of terror running down my spine, I looked everywhere. I was looking back and forth, unsure of what to do. I closed my eyes and thought about what to do. I could feel myself wanting to try out my skills, but I knew that was a bad idea since every mistake I made might put me in danger. Instead, I should have waited for Freya to come help me. I was aware that I would have to wait for Freya to arrive calmly; if she doesn't show up within the next two days, I shall handle things on my own. I'll see to it that everything proceeds as smoothly as I've always desired. I stared at the wall of the cell I had been placed in. I could sens
THE LYCAN'S DUEL Pawns and Power Plays
ThorneI was aware that the so-called alpha Titus might turn on me. I was aware that I would need to exercise caution because I thought it might be a set-up scheme from an unknown source. I was aware that my need to prepare everything could make matters worse. I realized I would need to adopt a different tactic. I was aware that the so-called "Alpha" was in it for the long haul if he didn't take revenge after everything I was about to do. I knew that after everything I had done, he would need to maintain his composure if he truly wanted to be with Freya. I was aware that going into business with an unknown individual wouldn't be a good idea. I was aware that he might turn on me in the end. I was aware that I had let things go as I had intended, that I had betrayed many people, and that it would be simple for me to achieve my goals in that way. I was aware that I would not experience such a thing. I anticipated that I would find it difficult to put my faith in others because of their
THE LYCAN'S DUEL The Perilous Dance of Deception
LuciusI was beginning to worry about the situation as a whole, believing that Alpha Thorne was aware of our intentions. I was aware that if he had been aware of our plans, it would be difficult for me to pull through. I was aware that it would not be a simple task. I was aware that it would be challenging for me to find out if he was aware of any of this. I was beginning to feel as though my eyes were boring holes in the wooden carriage. I quickly became lost in my own thoughts, frowning, unsure of what to say or do. With a scream and a little scared expression on her face, Freya said, "We are under attack," into my ears. She made a great effort to conceal her feelings, but before she realized it, they were everywhere. "We can do this," I whispered to her, trying to be brave and keep my real feelings hidden. The whole event worried me, and now that she knows that I'm not happy about it, I don't want her to feel the same way. I didn't want her to hate me, even though I knew she mig
THE LYCAN'S DUEL Entangled Shadows
FreyaWe are on our way to the fake trip, which is to be used as bait. I have told him everything he needs to do, and he has already agreed to do everything. I was not happy that I would be using him as bait. I hated the fact that he might end up getting hurt at the end, but I knew that this was our only resort. I didn't tell anybody about the plan; the plan was only known to Lucius and me. I knew that any of those who are my pack members might be spies. I knew that I couldn't trust any of them because they might want to betray me. I have learned it is hard not to trust people easily. I could see how Lucius was betrayed by his best friend, and I knew that might also happen to me if I'm not careful, so I've got to be vigilant and mind conscious. I looked at Lucius who seemedLucius, to be lost in his world of thoughts. I don't know what he's thinking, but I'm certain that it is about the new plan. It's something to think about. I reached out to his hand, attracting his attention to me
