FREYA I woke up with a groan as I nursed my neck. My hand was on my neck, and I rubbed it gently. I couldn't believe that I was done with the heaps of books about those who had the same tattoo that Lucius had, and it turned out that they were lycanthropes. I had done a lot of research on the tattoo, and I strongly believe that he was a rare breed of them, which was said to have gone extinct two decades ago. I couldn't believe that he was one. I was excited and couldn't help but feel happy to deliver the news to him. I have read the book, and it all revolves around what lycanthropes are. Lycanthropes are different species of werewolves who are stronger and faster than werewolves. It was said that a low-ranking lycanthrope who is trained can take on an Alpha. The highest rank of lycanthropes can take on six to seven werewolf alphas if trained by a lycanthrope mage. A lycanthrope mage is one who has the ability to control the four elements: fire, ice, earth, and air. A lycanthrope mage
There were twelve men sitting in a room; the room was a little cozy. There in the room are the twelve councils of werewolves. They are in charge of taking care of the pack's matters. They are in charge, and whatever they say must come to pass, and if anyone tries to disobey them, the person who tried to disobey them will be killed. The door of the room was locked heavily, and the cozy features of the room made it more lively. There were various things hanging on the wall, ranging from artificials to portraits, but among all of them, one would catch one's attention immediately. The portrait was that of the last legendary mage, Lycanthrope. The portrait was standing in all its glory, and not only that, there was a statue of the same man in the room. The portrait seems to be radiating energy, which circulates all over the room. There was a portrait of another man whose eyes were fierce and could send fear down the spine of anyone who stared into them. The portrait of the man was placed
SELENEMy weak gene caused me to suffer a heart attack, which I was unable to recover from. Sandra doesn't know about it, and neither does Lucius, because I never tell anyone about it. I had always wished for us to be healthy and live together in harmony. Even though I knew I ought to have told him, I was hesitant. I was going to tell him right away, but then I changed my mind. I was taken aback by the response I saw in the letter Lucius had sent to me. I was aware that the situation would no longer unfold as anticipated. I was advised not to take on difficult tasks, but I no longer give a damn. Knowing this, the alpha released me from carrying out any pack tasks and instructed Sandra to help me instead. I knew I ought to have been content with the alpha's treatment of me, but I wasn't. My wish is for a calm existence with Lucius, yet it seems that Lucius is the reason for its disintegration. Not only had he brought back my former illness, but he had also made it worse than it had be
FREYAI was in my office. I thought of the kiss I had with Lucius, even though I was the one who kissed him unexpectedly. I shouldn't have done that, but I couldn't help myself. I felt so happy knowing that he had broken off the engagement with Selene, even though it was through a letter. I couldn't help but feel happy about it. I felt on top of the world with the way he had defended me in what she wrote in the letter. I was lost in thought when I saw Samuel walk up to my office with a worried expression on his face. He walked up to my office with the same expression on his face. The expression he had isn't something to write home about, and I couldn't help but wonder why he had the expression on his face. I knew that when he got to my office, he would explain the reason for his worries. He got to my office and knocked on the door impatiently, and I knew with no doubt that whatever had made him worry wasn't going to be good. He doesn't get worried easily, and even if he does, he does
LUCIUSMy heart began to race as soon as I heard the news, which has been circulating like wildfire. As I heard the other pack members' remarks, I experienced numbness in my limbs. I knew that they would all believe that I was unable to fight in the duel and was incompetent. There are reports circulating that I would need to engage in combat in order to obtain her as my mate, and that's not all—I'll also need to engage in combat with Alphas from several packs. I was aware that I might not be able to compete with any of them and that I might pass away before I could do so.I was aware that I couldn't bear to disagree with my bosses, but I would do anything to be with my partner. Speaking of my partner, I've heard that I visited her office to find out what she thought of the situation. There was nothing she could say or do to stop me from going through with the duel, even though I knew she could be afraid and not want me to. She could never stop me from doing that, I promise. I was awar
FreyaI walked up to Lucius immediately. I saw him, and with so much emotion in my heart, I hugged him. I got close to him. I felt my eyes getting cloudy, and I knew that it was due to the tears in my eyes. I was scared of leaving my friend and not wanting to lose him. I want to be able to be with him and not be apart from him. I felt the need to be close to him. I knew that I might not have the chance to be with him due to the duel.I knew that I had to be strong and do everything in my power to save him. I will try everything possible to make sure he never dies in the duel. I pray that he will be able to survive and be the winner, even though I knew that couldn't be possible. I want to make sure that I get to train him to be strong. I will tell my dad to also help train him like a warrior whose sole purpose is to kill. I knew that it might be hard for him to digest it, but all I wish for is his success. I want him to win the duel, and I feel like today is the duel's day. I tried har
Lucius I couldn't help but feel restless about tomorrow. You might be wondering what will happen tomorrow. Tomorrow would be the D-day for the duel, which would take place in this pack. I couldn't help but feel worried about what would happen. I knew that the book had classified me as a, but the truth is that I have never felt anything different about myself since the day I was told. I was worried that it was due to some reasons, but as I trained harder, I hoped that I would get what I wanted. I knew this might sound lame to Freya if I were to tell her all what I have been feeling. I knew that she would want me to back out of the duel after knowing all this. I knew she had expected me to be what the book had talked about. The fearless who goes against two alphas at a time, but I guess if that would ever be possible. I knew that if I were to ever become the thing that was talked about in the book, I'd be grateful. I knew things wouldn't go as planned, nor would it be possible for th
FREYAI had a troubled look on my face as I paced back and forth in my room. Though I was certain that things wouldn't go according to my plan, I couldn't help but wonder if Lucius would be able to live tomorrow. I was aware that over the preceding few days, he hadn't progressed as much as he ought to have. It appears that more fussing will ensue than I had anticipated. Since that's what was stated in the book, I assumed that he was a, but it appears that I was mistaken. I had to admit that I understood what was happening. I was aware that he could have made significant progress if he had been as described in the book, but his improvement is not commensurate with that of a fighter. Even though I understood that none of this should concern me at this point, it did. My concern is not only for my friend's life but also for my own emotional state. With his skills, I knew he wouldn't be able to keep up with the alphas. I have seen him a few times when he was in training, and I also knew t
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
