Nyx's pov I opened my eyes which have been closed for a while now, a gasp left my lips when I gazed at my reflection in the mirror, for once I could say I looked gorgeous, I looked powerful, I looked like a Queen.A Queen fit enough for Lycus.My hair was done up in curled tendrils and semi curled ones. It was sometimes done in a bun with other thick strands falling around my face. My face wasn't done with minimal make up this time, it was full make up which managed to be flawless at the same time. Every contour of my face was well done and highlighted.I had on the new diamond set of jewelry Lycus had gifted me plus the other ornaments I never took off.The dress which adorned my body was simply magnificent, it was a ball gown which a semi flare and a corseted bodice. My bosom was slightly pushed up which I was sure Lycus would find delightful and the corset was studded with precious stones, the flare was elegant as white as the corset."Time for the robe luna." One
Nyx's pov"Are you well Hermosa?" Lycus asked drawing me closer to him, he must have definitely noticed my change in countenance."Good evening, your highnesses." Alpha Titan greeted before I could answer, he was really close to us now and a smile took over his harsh features but the hatred in his eyes was unnoticed, at least by me."Good evening Titan?" Lycus greeted as he held me closer to him. I had begun to shiver in fear from how near he was to us now. He couldn't stop himself from gazing at me and for a moment I could see his eyes settled on my bosom before going back to my face, his eyes speaking volumes of threats."Yes your highness, Alpha Titan of the coremoon pack." I snatched a glass of Champagne from a tray a server held as he passed by. Lycus gave me a funny look as I downed it immediately and then dropped it on another tray carried by a different server who was in motion.I looked in the direction of where Amara was, Helena was conversing with some people while my daugh
Lycus's pov My dark eyes gazed at her as she ran away from the ballroom, the length of her gown bouncing as she did, her hands were on her face and I could tell that she was crying.Nyx, my sweet Nyx, A smile curved on my lips as my eyes were still fixated on the place she just passed through, the image of her gown train bouncing as she ran never left my head. I smiled to myself again thinking about how beautiful she was as she descended down the steps to meet me.The white gown she wore which I noticed was corseted fitted her like a glove, like it was specially fashioned for her, well I had it fashioned for her and the way it was so perfect blew my mind. Her bosom was accentuated by the corset and I had the primal urge to bury my face in them and leave teeth marks for the whole world to know that she was mine.She had given me an innocent smile like the pretty angel she was. She was so innocent, fragile and beautiful. I wanted to protect her at all cost to make up f
Lycus's pov. Often, people think that anger is the worse possible emotion that can overcome you, I thought so too till this very night when I was overcome by another emotion, sadness. Sadness was worse, when sad you have no control over your self, you do what your heart tells you, you let it lead, you let it control you.When I murdered the guard I had assigned to Nyx, it was sadness. Sadness that my mate was gone, whisked away from under my nose. It was sadness that made me go on a rampage tearing down the castle and destroying everything in my way.She was gone, as I feared and now I was sad.At first we had waited thinking she must have gone for a walk or something but after searching the castle and forest grounds severally tonight, she wasn't found and there was nothing found. I was utterly convinced that she was gone, the sharp feeling in my chest had refused to go ever since I realised that she truly was gone. There was no struggle, her scent was lo
Lycus's povI stormed out of Akanther's castle in a fit of rage. I couldn't stay back wasting my time in trying to get answers out of that weakling. He was the ruler of the vampires yet the weakest I had ever come across, how that happened? I couldn't phantom.All the more reason he needed Nyx for the dumb sacrifice! His thirst for power has him seeking out my mate and it made me livid. At first when I received his letters, I had thought he was bluffing and simply playing games as he was quite the comical man just as his existence was a joke, but mother had confirmed it and so did her fellow members at the wolves council.If Akanther was to sacrifice Nyx and feed off her blood, he could become the most powerful in an abominable way since Nyx was cursed as they said.What do you think spyro? I asked my raging wolf as we led the troops out of the pale leeches land, He seems to be telling the truth.We have about six more kingdoms and I should say we search them even if they do not pose
Lycus's pov I winced as the blade slightly grazed my skin drawing a bit of blood, "Sorry love." She cooed as she smoothed the tiny wound with her finger. She ran the blade along the edges of my new beard growth giving it neat lines making me wonder where she had learnt it from. The shaving cream slowly diminishing as she ran the cuts."You look less like a hermit now." She took the towel and wiped off the excess cream before taking some water and rinsing it, droplets of water ran from my jaw down to my bare chest.I stared at my reflection in the mirror and a shadow of myself stared back at me. I looked better now that my beard which I unwilling kept was well kept but my eyes still carried the same hooded sadness with bags under them."Do you need anything else?" Feminine hands clasped my shoulders lovingly."That will be all mother." I nodded, "Thank you.""How are you feeling?" She asked me the same question she had always asked ever since Nyx went missing. It ha
Nyx's pov. This time around, he didn't get me in the forest near the castle. He got me right there in the ball room snatching me away from Lycus's arm as he came. Lycus didn't seem to mind, he just stood there watching me scream in agony as Alpha Titan threw me to the ground. He gave me a blow to the head while at it and blood spilled from where my skin cracked staining my angelic white garment. The crown had fallen from the head and rolled away."Please don't! Help!" I screamed at the crowd while trying desperately to crawl away from him but his sinister grey eyes twinkled with mischief as he watched me plead.No one cared to answer to my pleas or cries for help, not even my mate. It was as if I was present yet in a different world from them, like they couldn't see nor hear me."I warned you didn't I?" He growled at me holding the same whip he had used to torture me while I was with him, "You are mine to possess Nyx! I told you I will get you!" He flung the whip to
Nyx's pov"Get up!" His bark jolted me from my forced unconsciousness. I tried to raise my head but the throbbing pain wouldn't let me, my eyes were swollen shut and raw pain seared through out my body, I could still feel blood leaking from my wounds, my body felt Matty and sticky from the red liquid running on it, my blood, "I said get up!" He kicked me again.It wasn't Alpha Titan this time, it was one of the men that had abducted me I recognized the voice. I didn't budge as I couldn't summon the strength to even open my eyes which changed soon as hot boiling liquid was poured on me. I screamed in agony as the water met my wounds jumping up instantly in pain. My swollen eyes still clamped shut with tears escaping from the closed lids.He jerked me up, squeezing my arms and then he led me to a tub in the room which I hadn't realised was there. I was forced into the tub which already had water, I gritted from the effect it had on my wounds, the water turned red and dirty as I sank bac
Amara's pov"Once upon a land under the deity of the moon goddess where men were wolves and wolves were men...""But they still are..." Iris groaned as always, staring at me with her eyes twinkling with mischief. I smirked and brandished my makeshift wooden sword before her making her squeal with pretend fright, "I surrender! I surrender!" She cried out with her arms raised in the air earning a smirk from me."There lived three most powerful wolves in the supernatural world, they were called the potens lupi!" I continued, emphasizing my last words, "Two were born brought to the world at first, their fates tied together, the grey wolf and the red wolf, one born with a heart of gold, the other was the spawn of the devil! A bitch from the pits of hell!" I growled remembering how she had ruined my childhood."Bad words Amara, mummy said no bad words," Eros said looking up from his entwined fingers which he had been twisting, an attitude long developed."Fine." I rolled my eyes and silentl
Nyx's povThe moon shone brightly casting its silver rays on the sea as it's waves crashed. My eyes trailed up to the sky to see the sea gulls fluttering their wings as they flew, their caws filled the sky resonating in the atmosphere. I felt the breeze blow gently against my skin and sweep through my blonde locs as I pushed my toes into the cool sound feeling the grains beneath my feet.Tonight wasn't particularly quiet as there was a bonfire at the beach resort. Everyone had been invited. They said it was an avenue for the guests to socialize even if the sole purpose of them coming here was to get away from everyone and relax in peace.Humans are weird, Hera had said when the Lycus told us about the invitation and they considered it somewhat disrespectful and unkind not to honor it."Don't get too close to the water," I yelled after Amara as she stood from my side and ran towards the banks of the ocean. I knew I had to keep an eye on her knowing I haven't been a good mother but I wa
Lycus's pov"She's all set." The doctor said pulling off her gloves while stepping away from the bed, "The luna is due in a week." She added with a smile and I glanced at Nyx to see her already staring at me with a wide grin which I returned with excitement.I have had the chance to be a father with Amara and now the moon goddess was blessing me with another one and it came with a different level of excitement, the feeling of holding our new born in my hands was something I looked forward to."Is there any thing she needs to stay off till then." I asked the doctor as she packed up her stuff, "I want us to be extra careful.""She just has to stay away from any rigorous activities for now and relax a lot." And with her words I gave Nyx a knowing look hoping she would stick to the doctor's words this time.The coming of this pregnancy unleashed a new level of stubbornness and even Hera was worse, neither Spyro nor I could talk sense into them. They felt the need to be more active and agi
Nyx's pov The cool spring wind swept across the length of my gown as I left the cemetery walking away from my favourite tomb stone, I tried to walk as fast as my swollen legs could carry me with my hands atop my baby bump like it was going to fall if I didn't hold it.I walked through the gates, the cool breeze caressed my skin and scattered some of my blonde locs. I squinted at the glaring sunlight while running my fingers through my hair, my eyes out searching for the person I had come with.He wasn't here and I was infuriated. This pregnancy had come with me getting angry at every thing and any little thing that didn't even warrant a reaction, I couldn't control it. The hormones were acting out and I had no control over them.I had told him to wait here while I went inside cause I wanted to be alone, that didn't mean that he should wander away like he wasn't meant to stay beside me."You are done?" His voice pulled my attention and I looked to see him coming from
Nyx's povWinter had always been my favorite season. I felt calmer and at peace with it every year, there was just something about snow, something about it that brings light to my dark world the way Lycus often said I brought light to his. I do not know about others but it brought me peace and tranquility.And as I lay on the snow with my hands and legs spread out, tears dried up and my heart swelling with contentment, I couldn't find a way to hate this season for any reason. I felt happy knowing that my life would be peaceful from now on, knowing that I had slain the people after me with their blood on the snow because it was what they deserved and I had to do it to bring me peace.The angry growls of the rabid wolves echoed as they devoured the carcass of Helena and her wolf. I could feel the drops of snowflakes falling from the sky against my skin and with each passing moment I felt happier.The skies had begun to clear up a bit and my heart fluttered with excitement. It was all ov
Nyx's povFury! Irritation! Resentment! All three emotions that came with rage were what I felt at the moment.I couldn't control myself, my fist slammed into her face repeatedly as she tried to dislodge my sword that was stuck in her, her cries of agony were soothing to my ear as the force of my hits caused us to slide across the snow and deeper into the forest with her back against the ground and the rocks and thorns tearing into her causing more pain.As she healed, the pain and wounds were inflicted by me all over again faltering the efforts of her self healing which frustrated her and she couldn't hide it. My knuckles were busted and my fingers ached as I continued my assault but the pain I brought to her caused me enough satisfaction to distract me from my injuries and Hera did a good job of healing us immediately we got a wound."You fucking bitch!" She snarled crossing her arms and creating her shield, the force sent me flying backwards and I was thrown against a tree, the bon
Nyx's pov(I am not a native Spanish speaker, I used google so don't come for me please)Lycus! I tried reaching him through the mind link as the groans grew but I got nothing but grunts of pain, not even a word plus our connection was faint which was something to be worried about.Spyro! Hera groaned as another wave of pain hit us, the freezing task at hand was forgotten as I hunched over my knees clutching at my heart with my hands. it felt like a thousand pinchers were being twisted in my heart creating piercing feels. And at that moment a fire bolt came in my direction, I swung to the side to avoid it and it hit the wall melting my work.I turned to Helena with a growl as it had come from her, she was fashioning another hit. I twisted my fingers, and aimed them at her crossed fists freezing them before forming a bigger fire bolt than the one that she had created and I sent it right at her, it hit her sending her flying a few paces away as the force at which I sent it was way too s
Nyx's povI like you a lot, I remembered his words as my fingers skimmed his face, his eyes that once looked at me with adoration and fondness were shut tight, I wish I could protect you, I recall when he had said this, "I wish i could protect you too Andros." Tears streamed down my cheeks as I held his face, "Wake up please." I whispered, "You can't die on me Andros."Will you run away with me when things get worse? And instead of that, he took the blow for me, he didn't run leaving me, he took what was meant to kill me, "Andros please." I gripped the tree by it's trunk with my hands pulling at it with all my might and I was able to wretch it from him much to my surprise.You know I do care about you Nyx, His words echoed in my head as I flung the tree aside, my hands gripped his body as he slid down to the ground, no a word was heard from him, not a sigh and not even the batting of an eyelid, I wouldn't mind if you were mine though, These words of his brought the pain rushing in kno
Nyx's povSacrifices! Swords! Baby! Evil! Moon goddess! Helena! Powers! Fight! Resurrection! Clouds! My mind was a torrid cluster fuck as my eyes snapped open and I tried to lift myself from the ground which got me thinking about where I was and why I was laying in the snow.I groaned widening my eyes to see that I was in the grounds of war and my confusion grew trying to know what the fuck was happening plus the weird dream I had about seeing some moon goddess was bizarre.I felt my fingers gripping something and I looked down to see them grasping at a magnificent sword that looked like it could slay anything in sight. A scream wrenched my attention from the sword and I looked in the direction of where it came from.A devastatingly handsome man was currently fighting with an old woman who looked like him and watching him fight was so attractive and...shit! That's my mate and I got to help! I remembered everything now and I leapt to my feet, grabbed my sword and began to run towards t
