He moved with blinding speed, hurtling towards Dreg with jaws wide, aiming for his throat. But Dreg was ready, he dodged to the side and clawed down at black beast’s flank, drawing first blood.

The black beast yelped but doesn’t slow down as he twisted mid-air, he snapped at Dreg’s shoulder, his teeth sinking into fur and flesh.

Dreg growled in pain but shook him off, flinging him to the ground with a furious shove. For a heartbeat, they both paused, each beast watching the other, blood trickling into the dirt below.

Ilena’s heart thundered in fear at the sight before her, she had never witnessed such violence before. Her heart broke at the sight of the blood that trickled down from Dreg’s shoulder.

In an instant, the black beast shifted back to his skin, following Dreg who also shifted back and used his body to shield Ilena from the vexed man before her.

Helix eyed Dreg who stood fiercely, protecting his new mate. It vexed him to see how well he was doing after causing

    A week had gone by with Dreg and Ilena being occupied by their own matters. Dreg had been occupied with his duties at the main castle where he now stayed most of his days. Meanwhile Ilena had been studying the history on Sulcarns and how they were cursed with the blood of the beast by the goddess Selene. Ilena let out a heavy sigh of boredom as she flipped through the worn sheets of history. “Do Sulcarns also have to be marked to shift?” Voyra chuckled. “No my queen, we are already born with the blood of a beast coursing through our veins so we experience our first shift within the age of thirteen to fifteen.” She nodded, taking in the new information. She had been learing on the history and found quite an interest in it but boredom was starting to settle in her. The scene before her was beautiful though, she sat at the balcony at the west wing of the Manor which over looked the vast forest. Her eyes quickly catches the sight of a beast running towards the Manor. She

    He deepened the kiss with his tongue, tasting more of her sweetness which drove his beast crazy with rut. Ilena pulled away slightly to catch her breath, she glanced up at him shyly with flushed cheeks. “W-what about the servants?....” She panted softly. Dreg smirked at her shyness which was a huge contrast to the intoxicating scent of her arousal. He picked her up swiftly in bridal style and made his way to their room, not caring for the stares from the servants. Everything moved in a blur as they made it to their room. He slipped off the vest he wore while Ilena fumbled with loosening the ropes of her gown. He growled deeply. “The scent of your arousal is strong.....” He cupped her full breasts through the gown she wore. “Have you missed me....hmm, Ilena?” he teased softly against her neck. Her cheeks flushed in embarrassment as she panted softly with want, her beast was not making it easy to control herself. Her belly churns in pleasure from his statement. He

    “Shift!” Dreg’s voice boomed through the training ground. The young teenagers shifted in an instant while some shifted slowly, others shifted into their beast within seconds. Dreg was training the rookie soldiers on how to shift within seconds because during times of war, seconds was all it took between life and death. “Shift!” They shifted back to their skin instantly, not caring for their nudity or having shame about it. That was the way of a Sulcarn soldier, they were to have no shame of their nudity no matter what. Rhenka walked into the training ground, she was pleased with how much progress the rookies had made. They all bowed at her presence while she made her way to Dreg who had a stoic expression to his face. “My king.” She greeted. Dreg glanced at the elderly woman and with a wave of his hand, the rookies were dismissed to take a break. “Rhenka, what brings you to the training ground?” She glanced around but frowned when doesn’t notice her queen. “Wher

    The sun had set an hour ago with the moon shining down it’s light on the vast forest before her eyes. Ilena was anxious, she paced around the balcony that over looked the now pitch black forest. How could she bring up this conversation.....she had never been the one to confront anybody. Guilt ate at her with thought that she might have stolen someone else’s place. “My queen, you have been pacing over here since we came back from the outing.” Voyra stated with furrowed brows of worry. Ilena sighed. “I feel anxious Voyra, that is why....there is no need to be concerned.” Voyra knew why her queen had been pacing, her sensitive ear had overheard the conversation during their outing. Everyone in Sulcar already knew about the intended matching of Nana and the king that was why his sudden marriage took them all as a surprise. “Please, pay no mind to the words of Lady Nana.” Voyra stated. Ilena chewed her finger nails but stopped as soon as she sighted the dark blur of a b

    “Shift!” Levion’s voice boomed through the training ground. The rookie soldiers shifted in an instant within seconds while the flustered queen of Sulcar had a little trouble in shifting with speed. Her bones snapped quickly but not nearly as quick as the rest of them, she shifted into her red furred beast in no time. A few stole glances at their queen beast, the rumours of her being a gamma were all true. Ilena felt uncomfortable by the stares of the rest of the rookies. The size of her beast was surprisingly bigger than most of them because she thought she was little compared to Dreg. “Today, your instructors and I would be teaching you to fight in your beast form so pair up!” Levion yelled. A few beasts grumbled to themselves while Ilena shuffled to find someone to pair with but couldn’t find any. She felt a nudge in her mind. “My queen, you have to pair up.” Levion’s voice sounded. Her eyes widened at him. “I-i thought only mates could speak this way with each o

    *SMUT CHAPTER* His cock hardened from the evident lust in her eyes, there was no stopping them at the moment. She captures his lips in a soft kiss which surprised Dreg but it quickly wares off as he groaned and added more pressure. He nips at her bottom lips and sucked on it passionately. Ilena’s heart thundered in excitement, it was the first time being so intimate in a public area. “I don’t think I can stop myself if we go any further....” Dreg grunted. Heat travelled it’s way to her cheeks, she said nothing but gave him a shy look of wanting more. Dreg chuckled and proceeded to litter kisses down her neck to her cleavage. “Angh.....” She moaned out. His hands came up to fondle her heavy breasts, tweaking her already hardened nipple through the simple gown she wore. She arched her back, pushing her breast into his hands. Dreg chuckled. “Since when were you so eager....hmm?” He teased. “I-i....” She couldn’t make out words to reply. He slips his hands betwe

    Ilena blinked her eyes, adjusting it to the dimly lit room that she laid in. Memories of the steamy intimate session with Dreg flashed into her head which caused a raging blush to form on her cheeks. Her eyes widened in shock from the unfamiliar room she was in so she sat up abruptly. The room was huge, bigger than the one at the Manor with expensive gold interior. Dreg’s intoxicating scent filled her sensitive nostrils so this must be his chamber but he was no where to be seen. She climbed off the large bed and walked towards an extended balcony. “Wow.....” She mumbled in realization. Before her was the vast mountains and hills of Sulcar, it was like she was at the main castle of Sulcar. The cool night breeze feathered her skin but she was parched. There was no sign of any chalice or jug of water so she decided to head out and attempt to find water. The hallway was large and completely dark with only the moonlight illuminating it a little. Her steps were light and a

    The week ran by quickly with Ilena’s regular training and Dreg being occupied by loads of official duties he had put away. The air was thick with tension as everyone watched the first spar between the rookie trainees. Ilena’s heart thundered in her chest from anxiety of her own spar that was up next. The spar began with both rookies in their human form, fighting physically before any of them decides to shift and take control of the fight. Everyone watched as the two rookies circled each other slowly but intensely. One swung into action, landing his fist square on the other rookie’s jaw which elicited a groan from him but surprised gasps from the watchers lips. It was clear who had the upper hand during the fight because the weak rookie was being pummelled by his aggressive opponent. They shifted swiftly but the aggressive one wasted no time in clamping his neck on the other. Levion clapped, signalling the end of their spar. “Good job, you two!” Ilena let out a shaky

    Ilena shook with fear, gripping onto the railings until her knuckles turned white thinking of a million ways to escape this terrifying situation. Kaheal grinned wildly, his large sharp canines peeking out from his lips with joy of seeing his beautiful woman that he had been watching for weeks now. “W-who are you?” Ilena asked shakingly. He took a step closer. “You look beautiful under the full moon, my love.” Her heart stuttered from the sick pet name, she took several steps back yo create more distance between the both of them. “Y-you didn’t answer my question......” Kaheal chuckled, placing his right hand on his chest. “I am Kaheal, leader and king of the rogue bandits.” Ilena could feel the blood draw from her face, making it pale with fear. How was it possible that the leader of the rogue bandits was in the main castle of Sulcar and nobody has been alerted? She trembled. “W-Why are you here? What do you want?” He inched closer, now only a few inches from her. “I

    The carriage ride went smoothly but Ilena’s heart held a certain kind of anxiety in them but she didn’t want to dwell too much on that and just concluded on being nervous to greet nobles. The soft hum of the harmonious instrument could be heard a few feet away from the castle. Sulcarns and foreigners all dressed in their best outfits chatted with each other. Their carriage stopped at the entrance and the Dreg led Ilrna out, hand in hand like the caring mate he was. Nobles whispered and watched the royal couple walk through the parted sea of crowds. Immediately, guests swarmed them. Complementing their luxurious royal attire that suits them, a few brought up business but Dreg dismissed the conversation smoothly. Ilena was bombarded by noble females who came from afar, she was asked questions after questions that almost made her dizzy. All she could do was smile and nod politely from over stimulation. The mates had separated and now Ilena had excused herself to get a chala

    Dreg walked into the chamber and noticed Ilena who sat at the window edge, staring straight into the night sky with an unreadable expression. He frowned with concern and walked closer. “Ilena...” he called out. She blinked out of her thoughts, turning to glance up at Dreg. “Oh...forgive me, I didn’t seem to notice your presence.” He reached over, caressing her unruly curls out of the way. “You seemed lost in thought....what is in your mind?” Ilena mused in thought before speaking up. “Letters of replies from the Luna ball invitations I sent out came today...” He nodded, taking a seat at a small stool beside the large window. “Did anyone write foul words?” She shook her head. “No....I had sent out an invitation to Elia.” His brows rose in surprise, its been twelve years since Elia had left Sulcar after a huge fight with Alene regarding her freedom and almost being mated off to a widowed male from the lycanthrope lineage. “We always send letters to her every year

    The preparations for the Luna Ball were coming together, though stressful but with the help of Rhenka, Voyra and Frena, they made it easier. I had sent out hand written letters to invite a few people from all over the world for the Luna Ball which was about to take place tomorrow night. I and Dreg’s royal attire was hand sewn and ready coupled with the decorations of the ball room. The Baker smiled and cut out a cake sample for me to taste. But I guess into the delicious moist softness, it tasted amazing. “This is perfect for tomorrow, you really are the best Baker in Sulcar.” I commented with a smile. She chuckled and nodded. “Thank you my queen, the cake would definitely be ready by tomorrow.” My gaze travelled to the row and rows of kitchen staffs, prepping for tomorrow and backing Northern finger treats to be eaten. Voyra gave them a few more instructions before following me out of the kitchen. “Everything is coming together, Ilena.....the decorations in the ball

    Ilena watched the flame crackle the firewood in the fireplace, it warmed the cozy library but she still felt nothing but cold. Her gaze remained in a daze as she thought back on Alene’s words earlier today, it repeated over and over in her head like a song she couldn’t quite forget. “We have chosen a breeding female for the king.” Her stomach twisted painfully. She had tried to keep herself busy after Alene left, forcing herself to focus on the final arrangements for the Luna Ball. But the moment she stepped into the Manor, the weight of it all crushed her. Would Dreg allow this? Her heart whispered no, but doubt clawed at the edges of her mind. Dreg was a king. A ruler first, before he was hers. And if the council had already made their decision, would he fight it? She twisted the thin fabric of her night gown in anxiousness, trying to reason any possibility. This wasn’t the first time that a breeding female is chosen as an heir but she does not care, her beast

    Ilena stood frozen in shock, she was not expecting those words to escape Alene’s lips. Her heart tugged with anxiety as she sucked in breath to prevent tears escaping her eyes. Alene chuckled smugly. “Oh don’t look do shocked, it’s all your fault.” She spat out viciously. Voyra clenched her jaws in anger, this was the first time that she had silently wished to slap Alene in the face although she knows the blaring difference in their strengths. “The one most important duty you had and you couldn’t fulfil it.” Alene smirked and walked out, leaving the two shocked women alone. Ilena clenched her gown in a tight fist till her knuckles turned white. She felt a whirlwind of emotions that included fear, sadness, anger and a pinch of self blaming. “Ilena, please you need to speak to lady Rhenka about this.....maybe she could help.” Voyra suggested softly. A lone tear slipped down her eyes but she held back her sobs, she had cried enough for the day. “Alene always to be planni

    Lena was the name of the young gamma female that was taken and tortured by the rogue bandits. Dreg could still hear the haunting wails of her mother during the burial as her body was being cremated. His beast wants blood, he is vengeful for the young Sulcarn life that was stolen even which he was meant to protect. The medic personally brought all information regarding her autopsy to know what exactly they dis to her. She suffered greatly, there were signs of poisoning in her system and the numerous cuts and bruises, not to forget the obvious injuries around her body that showed she had been brutally raped. Bite marks of mating littered her skin which showed that it wasn’t just one male but about seven men during the mating season. Anger filled his heart, there was no way that he would spare any rogue bandit that crosses his path. Levion growled, slamming his fist at the wall which made a loud crack. “I would kill every last one of them.” He growled. The burial had ended

    Ilena watched with a smile as children laughed and played with each other at the field. They were all promising young ones who are the future of Sulcar. Today was a scheduled visit to an orphanage. She was anxious to meet children because they’re very honest creatures but Frena and Voyra gave her confidence. She had packaged toys and clothes to give to the orphanage and more coins to sustain them. An active little girl of about five years old runs and bumps into Ilena’s leg. “Oh dear, you need to be careful.” She chuckled, gripping her tiny arms to steady her. The little girl tilted her head back, revealing a mop of curly hair and wide, curious eyes. “I’m sorry, my queen.” she said breathlessly. Ilena smiled gently, kneeling to meet the girl’s gaze. “What’s your name, little one?” “Lera,” the girl answered, twisting a piece of her hair between her fingers. “Well, Lera, you’re quite fast on your feet. Are you the fastest in the group?” Lera nodded eagerly, a grin

    The forest seemed darker tonight, the air thicker and more depressive as Dreg stood at the edge of the border where the young gamma female’s body lay. The metallic tang of blood filled his nostrils, mixed with the earthy scent of the forest floor. The young female laid nude with her eyes gouged out and a slit throat. His beast snarled, clawing at the edges of his control, but Dreg forced himself to remain composed. This wasn’t just a rogue bandit causing chaos, it was a message. A threat. Levion crouched beside the body. “Whoever did this wanted us to find her like this,” he muttered with disgust. “And they succeeded.” Dreg growled. His eyes darted across the treeline with his hightened senses, searching for something, anything that could help with tracing out important clues. “We need to strengthen the boarder further, they left her body in front of our walls and were not spotted.” Levion nodded and allowed the guard to wrap the body and proceed to transport her a
