THE LYCAN'S DUEL Nocturnal Awakening
FREDAIt was unbelievable to me that my mother would say something like this. I lost it when she said that. I didn't do anything, so how dare she try to blame me for it? Despite knowing that I wouldn't act in such a manner, she consented since he is my partner.Is she aware of the damage he has caused me? She ought to be aware of what made me act in this way. With an authoritative, deep baritone voice, my dad responded, "Don't talk to your mom like that, young lady."His tone made me want to give in to his voice, but I was able to ignore it."You should know what he did before questioning me." What would you do if it were your turn? You would perform worse than I did, I'm sure."How would you feel if my dad was telling someone that he loved her and not only that you were there?" Would you have felt comfortable rejecting me the moment he saw you because of the person he thought he loved? How might you respond? I angrily exclaimed at her, "You can't understand a thing because you haven

LUCIUS After hearing what Freya's parents had to say, I couldn't help but feel bad about what I had done to her. Though I understood it was inappropriate to say such things, I assumed she would treat her spouse the same way others do. I wanted her to reject me because I had assumed she would. I was shocked at how much I had wounded her. Encouraging Selene that I loved her and then encouraging her to reject me felt like a terrible mistake.I doubt the love is still present in my heart, but I knew that what I felt for Selene was love. If I kept claiming I loved Selene and would do anything to get back to her, I knew for sure that things would not work out the way I wanted them to. I was aware of the harm it could cause her. Knowing that she was open to giving other men in her life a chance made me feel hurt. I knew such thinking wasn't appropriate because I had already done that to her. I'm having trouble deciding what to do. There was part of me that wanted to stay with my mate and

FreyaMy heart felt like it had been pierced by millions of swords that are laced with wolfsbane. I couldn't bear to see my friend say to my face that he thinks I'm someone else. I felt sad knowing that my own mate doesn't recognize me but instead thinks that I'm somebody else, but not anybody but the person he said he loves. I don't know whose partner had the guts to tell them to their face that they loved someone else and that their partner looked like the person they loved. My heart wasn't in good shape, and I knew if I didn't take care of it, I might break down. I knew for a fact that my partner is in love with someone else, and it hurt me to know that, but that's the absolute truth that can't be changed. I knew that, being an alpha, I might be able to hold it, but this is different; I wasn't able to hold it. I knew that I had no strength in me to withstand the fact that my partner thinks I'm not the person I am but another person. I feel hurt knowing that my mate loves someone

SeleneI woke up with a pang of a headache, hoping to see Lucius beside me, but I couldn't. I felt my heart ache immediately. I couldn't believe he had been gone for days now. I felt the need to hate him, but I knew that I didn't have to do that because he wasn't responsible for that; Freya was. I felt the need to strangle her and bury her for letting me be apart from my mate.I felt the need to cry and kill him for what she had done, but I knew there was nothing I could do about it. I have been restless the past few days for Lucius, but there is nothing I can do. I have been trying to find ways to contact him, but I have found none. I tried hard and even tried telling the Alpha to contact him, but he didn't want to. I have made up my mind to keep bugging him to give in to my demands. I knew that he would have no choice but to do as I have said.I stood up from my bed and staggered into the bathroom to have my bath. I walked out of the bathroom shortly with my hair dripping with water
Last Updated : 2023-11-14THE LYCAN'S DUEL Whispers of Wings and Love's Letter
LUCIUS I was confused, knowing that my companion had looked in on me while I was sleeping. I had no idea what to do. I sensed a physical drain on my abilities. I knew that anything I asked of her would infuriate her, and moreover, I knew that I now knew her true intentions, so I felt compelled to find out. She had expressed a desire for me to accept her, but I refused to do the same as I was already engaged to someone else and I was in love. I was forced to explain that I believed her to be Selene, even though I knew there was nothing I could say or do to justify what I had done the day before. Furthermore, I have no idea why I did what I did yesterday. I'm walking back and forth in my room in the morning. She knew that I was going to be leaving shortly, but I couldn't understand why she would come look at me. Although I too don't want to leave, I knew that I had to go regardless of the circumstances because of Selene. I knew, as much as I did, that she would be devastated at not
Last Updated : 2023-11-15THE LYCAN'S DUEL Jealousy
FREYAI was walking past the corridor to Lucius's room when I heard him whistle. I froze on the spot, not knowing what to do, but soon I shrugged it off my mind and walked away. I felt my mind bugging me to check it out, but I knew it wouldn't be a good option. I knew, for a fact, that I couldn't let him catch me. I knew that he might have ideas that I have been peeking at, and I don't want him to think of those. I knew he might think something was weird and unusual about me peeking at him. He will feel that I'm hiding something, and I don't want him to find anything out. I knew if he found out something was wrong, he would keep trying to find out from me. I knew that he would use the opportunity to get close to me to know what was wrong, and after getting what he needed, he would leave me alone. I don't want to get attached to him. I was on my way back to my room, and I passed the same route, which was the corridor that leads to his room. There are other ways, but I felt my mind bu

SELENEI was wearing a frown when I woke up this morning. I was wearing a frown. The bird didn't show up yesterday, despite my expectation that it would. The fact that the bird didn't and that, if he had seen the bird, it should have arrived by now perplexed me. Since the bird was unable to locate him today, I knew it would return. Where is he? I couldn't help wondering. What happens if he's imprisoned or something? As I considered it, my breathing became tight. I could feel the darkness creeping into my eyes, and I couldn't help but worry about him. I had assumed that I would have a way to communicate with him, but that has since altered because I am not receiving a response from him. My eyes went around as I considered all the possible things that could have occurred to him while he was in the cell. Despite my strong belief that he would see my letter and the fact that he did not respond, I had concerns. I couldn't resist trying to come up with a plan to visit him. I'll do everyth

LuciusI had found ways to skip seeing Freya the previous day. I didn't want to see her because she had been in my room when I was washing off the ink that had stained my body. I knew that she had read the letter I wrote to Selene, and I don't know how to face her. I knew she wouldn't be happy reading the letter, but there was nothing I could do about it. I found out late, even before she could tell if I had caught her.I knew that she wouldn't be herself if she knew I had caught her peeping on me, but that isn't my main problem. I don't know how to face my friend after she read the letter I wrote to Selene. I knew that all the things I mentioned were based on our emotions and affections. I knew she would be hurt by that, and I don't want to do anything that can warrant getting on her nerves. I don't want to hurt her in such a way that she would get angry and throw me into the cold room again. I don't want to experience the things I felt in the cold room.One would think that I'm sca

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
