THE LYCAN'S DUEL Shadows in the Training Center
FreyaI woke up with a migraine. My head was pounding heavily, and I groaned. I knew that this was a reason for not sleeping early. I knew I should have slept early, but there was nothing I could do about it. Lucius was the one who kept me awake all night, and I wouldn't have been able to sleep if not for the fact that he wasn't as strong as I had portrayed him to be. I knew that I wouldn't have been able to sleep, but instead I would have been passing to and fro with no intention of sleeping. I was glad that I didn't turn him down when he asked me for a walk. I knew that there was no way I would be able to sleep, and that was mostly because I was worried. I tried hard to get a deep sleep, but I couldn't. I took a shower up to five times, but I still wasn't able to sleep, and that was because my mind was on Lucius. I knew that the only way I would be able to sleep was if I were to meet Lucius. I knew that it might be impossible for me to go meet him, but I knew there was no harm in t
THE LYCAN'S DUEL Lucius' Struggle for Love and Acceptance
LuciusI sighed heavily as I stared at the contestant in front of me. My hands were shaking with nervousness, and all I can feel at that moment is nervousness. I was nervous and scared of losing the duel but I can remember the words that were said to me by Freya and her parents. They told me to believe in myself and not to feel afraid. They told me that I shouldn't think lowly of myself. I knew that what they said were all true and that if I'm to win then I would have to believe in myself and never think slowly.I knew that if I was to degrade myself then I might lose focus on what's in front. I knew that things won't be good if I was to lose the duel. Here I was trying to focus on the person who was in my front, the person was a warrior from Freya's pack who had a smirk on his face. I knew that he was confident in beating me in this duel but I wasn't. I knew that if I was to cower back in fear of what would happen to me then it would be easy for him to beat me. I know I will lose eve
THE LYCAN'S DUEL Unintended Consequences
FREYAI watched with sadness as my partner engaged in a duel. I can't do anything but stare at him in the ring while my heart aches. If I had the ability, I would have entered the ring by now to end the combat. It saddened me that I can't question the werewolf council since I lack the necessary authority. For the first time, I would wish I had more control and influence over a particular group of individuals. I had never considered joining the werewolf councils before, but I do now. I was aware that I would have put an end to this conflict if I had been a member of the werewolf council, or perhaps even the chairman of the council. Although I was aware that things wouldn't be simple, what I was seeing surprised me. I was first comforted by my dad's assurances that he would win the battle, but that was before I saw what was going on inside the ring. I had a clear view of everything going on and was sat with some alphas and people in positions of responsibility. I felt like my eyes were
THE LYCAN'S DUEL A Duel of Deception
It was fun watching the way he was being beaten. One would see the determination to win in his eyes. I knew for a fact that if things aren't taken care of, then things might escalate, and he might win. I don't want him to have the slightest chance of winning. I knew that winning was one ticket to getting what I didn't want him to. It won't be easy to get what I want from him again. It will be hard, and I don't want that to happen. I knew that things not being as good as they were before weren't going to help things.I am so close to getting what I want from him, and I would do anything at all costs to get that from him. It only remains a matter of time before things get as I want, and I don't want him to spoil my plans of getting to what I want. It would only take me four more years to get to what I want, and him spoiling it now isn't going to be a good thing. I will make sure I get whatever I want, even if he proves to be stubborn. I will make sure I get it, even if it means killing
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
THE LYCAN'S DUEL The Duel, The Letter, and a Fragile Reunion
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
THE LYCAN'S DUEL Betrayal's Echo
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
THE 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

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
