~Alana~
She watched as Valencia braced herself. For a second, the witch took a deep breath before finally speaking, "I think it's a... seal."
While Alana noticed Alric and Dean contemplate, she was completely bemused. "A seal?"
“It is clear to us, Alana, that you are a werewolf and this is the most logical explanation, seeing the mark on your back and that of Kai,” Valencia justified, her eyes drifting to Alric briefly, seemingly evaluating his reaction.
Alana shook her head boldly, and she clarified, “I’m sorry, I am not understanding. A seal?”
“It means your wolf is sealed in you and since Kai has one too, I can only assume the mark will serve the same way on him when he is expected to shift,” Valencia expressed.
Shivers ran down her spine, and she noticed how Kai gasped at the news. She pondered silently, ‘Sealed? By who and how? Why?’
Recalling how Valencia suggested her memories may be tampered with, she
My next chapter might be late today. I had to do groceries for the kids, but it will definitely follow. Thank you for understanding. And to those who are asking, I follow Singapore Time in Updating. I have no exact time because it really depends on my kid's activities. My little girl usually has an online class in the morning so chances are I update in the afternoon or evening, Singapore time.
~Alric~ “I did not taste or sense the wolfsbane on the lasagna, given by Alana's neighbor. His name was Aiden, Alpha Alric,” Max said and with a look of regret, he turned to Alana, reporting, “I’m sorry, Alana, but your friend did not make it.” “Whoever took you, made sure that Aiden paid the price trying to stop them from taking you.” Max swallowed air down his throat before narrating, “When he realized that those who gave him the wolfsbane potion were after Alana and Kai, he fought back.” Shaking his head, he added, “Poor guy had no chance.” “I’m really sorry, Alana. I was too weak because of the wolfsbane in my system. All I could do was watch as they tied me down.” He sighed and resumed, “They even had raw wolfsbane tied around me.” "I could not even see their faces because they had bonnets on, but I am sure they were werewolves," Max included. Everyone was inside Alric’s study. Dean, Alana, Max, Rex, Ace, and Drake. They wer
~Alana~ It was an arduous walk to the Grand Arena of Port of Valmore. Alana could feel eyes burning through her frame. It has been days since she and Kai were untimely brought to Alric’s place of birth, and even while she and Kai hid at the Valmore mansion, she occasionally met that look of disdain. Alana understood it was because Alric planned on making her his Luna. This was clearly explained to her by Elenor after three days of being educated by her. Yep, she learned about the practices in their pack, including the ranks. She finally understood why they referred to Alric as their Alpha. Dean was Alric’s Betta and Max, Ace, Rex, and Drake were his high-ranking Gammas. There were others, but the latter were the ones who often escorted Alric. Pack warriors were different too and the lowest among the ranks were the Omegas, the minimum working class. Noticing how it was very rowdy throughout the ring, Alana compelled her
~Author’s Narration~ South to the Port of Valmore, hidden by rows of mountains and intermittent thick mists, a region that held previous glory and prosperity was slowly deteriorating. Few neighborhoods within the territory were abandoned or impaired. A good portion of its lands reeked of death as constant revolt threaten its prevailing rule. Only the center of its trade remained vibrant and opulent, where the richest grew richer and the powerful continued to become impenetrable. At the heart of the city, a mansion stood at one of its peaks. Towering gates surround the grandiose home, metal grills that protect it, may very well reach the heavens. Inside the mansion walls, a man with white hair was standing without his shirt, staring at a mirror - a mirror so cherished, the same man had it imprisoned with golden frames. The man was letting out low growls, his fangs lengthening as his hand stretched to his own reflection.
~Alana~ ‘No! He is mine!’ Alana jolted in her seat. Shivers ran down her spine, unable to recognize the voice that she heard in her subconscious. She wound up looking around, trying to find the source of the voice. ‘Is someone connecting with me?’ “Alana? What’s wrong, darling?” Alric asked while putting an arm around her shoulders. She turned to Alric with a frown on her face, saying, “I don’t know. I thought I heard someone speak to me.” She swung her head and convinced herself, “Maybe I heard wrong. All this mind linking thing is confusing me." “Alana, you must know that while we can mind link, you can choose not to connect with anyone whom you don’t want to,” Alric explained. She watched as he tapped his head with two fingers and said, “With the strength of your mind.” She faintly smiled and answered, “Got it.” “Alric, why don’t you eat up?” Alana and Alric lazily turned to find Geneva, holding up a fork for her
~Alric~ ‘Darling?’ Never once did Alric hear Alana address him as such. As much as he wanted to rebuke Geneva for her actions, he also delighted in one jealous Alana Hope, his future Luna. He saw how her face reddened with anger, her eyes were practically burning holes through Geneva’s frame. He smirked repeatedly at Alana’s grudge and he craved to see it a little while longer… even if he had to swallow down the disgusting eggplant dish. Fuck. Alric hated eggplants, but for the satisfaction of the woman he adored, he had to bear it, just for that day. He knew Alana was steaming in anger when she left for the restroom, but he had to deal with Geneva before going after her. Turning to his childhood friend, Alric charged, “Does that please you, Geneva? Trying to put tension between me and your future Luna? Do you think that our bond will be that easy to break?” “Alric, I - I was just trying -” “I can see wh
~Alana~ The feel of powerful arms startled Alana, yanking her out of the bed. Her eyes beamed at Alric’s half-naked frame, his arms slowly lifting her, pulling her up against his chest. “Shhh. You’ll wake Kai,” he softly told before a smirk formed on his glorious face. “You promised we would make Kai’s brother tonight. You forgot?” While Alana’s hands crawled up to his neck, she pursed her lips, feeling her cheeks flush. Weakly, she answered, “I did not forget.” She glanced at Kai, and as if Alric could read her mind, he suggested, “He’ll be fine. He had no nightmares in two days.” Over the past few days, Kai was their priority. They kissed many times while in the mansion and fooled around, but they held back from doing the deed. Both always slept next to their son at night. Returning her gaze to Alric, Alana saw how he savored her scent. He revealed, “I haven’t been able to take it out of my head. The idea of getting insid
~Alana~ The day had finally arrived for Alana and Kai to visit Valencia. Naturally, she was nervous. She did not want to get her hopes up, but then again, she could not help but want to find out the truth about her life. Who was she? Why was her wolf sealed? After fetching Kai from school, Alana and Alric went straight to Valencia’s home. Dean and Max accompanied them and they stood by the chamber doors to guard anyone against entering. Valencia perfectly instructed that no one, absolutely no one, should interrupt them. Unlike the last, they went further down to another chamber from within Valencia’s home. It was a room full of old books, elixirs, and herbs. Deep into the same chamber, there was a wide spot where an enormous circle was permanently painted on the floor, a six petal flower formed at the center. “Are you ready?” Peering at her, Valencia inquired. Alana nodded, and she looked at Kai, also ac
~Alric~ ‘Valencia has strengthened the barrier around the territory, Alric. No need to fret,’ Dean spoke in his mind as he lazily walked back into his home, wearing nothing but the pajamas he left by the mansion porch. ‘Good. Thank you, Dean,’ he answered, mind linking with his Beta. It had only been two days since the visit with Valencia and now, rogues were already looking for Alana. Indeed, it was exactly how their great healer had expected. Werewolves were out to get Alana. The frustrating part was, he still did not know why. After scaring off the rogues, he knew one thing now: Alana may be connected to the Hidden Mist Valley Pack. He knew very little about the pack down south. It used to be one of the richest packs in the nation, but after a new Alpha had overtaken it, the territory was said to be slowly losing its wealth. The new ruler of the land led by terrorizing its people and stealing money from those t
~Alric Valmore~Author LiLhyz: "Alric, how do you feel that your story has now come to an end?"Alric's eyes narrowed. He leaned back, caressing his chin before answering, "I am relieved. Finally, Lana and I can have more privacy when we go for seven to eight rounds."Author LiLhyz, thinking, 'Gosh, I'm sure going to miss a lot of snu.'~Lana Valmore~Author LiLhyz: "What are your plans now that the story has ended?"Lana, after hearing Alric's answer, bit her lip. She became distracted as she answered, "I'm going to support my children and play the role that they expect of me, a mother of all."Author LiLhyz: "That is a big role."Lana: "It is, but then again, my husband is bigger."Author LiLhyz's mouth fell on the floor. "What?"~Dean~Author LiLhyz: "Dean, how do you feel about not having so much weight in the story of Alric and Lana, I mean compared to Max? You are supposed to be the Beta."Dean: "Ewww... I'd rather be mute, not have any script than to be paired off to Geneva, eve
~Lana~ “Alric, what is this? Why are we even here?” Lana asked as they entered the arena of the Port of Valmore at eight in the evening. "Why are the lights off?" It was strangely so dark, that she could barely make out the bleachers. Guiding Lana at the center of the ring, Alric said while holding her hand, “I declare today and for the future years of this same day, Women’s Appreciation Day! The best part is, today is also your birthday!” “What? Where did you get this idea?” She asked, laughing in the night. “The pack, of course, especially the ladies who enrolled at the new school,” Alric revealed. “To start this event, we want to thank our dearest, Luna.” Last week, Lana opened up a new school, especially for women who wanted to learn how to cook, sew, and garden. The same school also would teach the basic techniques of how to care for young pups, care for the wounded, and learn to deal with family stress. She knew the w
~Author’s Narration~ Two years passed. “I pronounce you, husband and wife.” Applause could be heard, following the end of the mating ceremony between Lana’s aunt Lucille and her mate, Farkas. “Congratulations, aunt!” Lana cheered, smiling at her aunt. “Finally, Lucille, you tied the knot. I’m so happy for you!” Greeted Arabella and Gunner echoed the same. “Congrats, grandma,” Kai, now twelve, greeted with a smile. Lana’s twins, Lavender and Lilac said the same, both of them wearing the same purple clothes. They have recently turned four years old and were both very playful. Jayden was in his father’s arms, clingy as always, despite nearly turning three years old. Alric and his family, including Lana’s parents, visited the Hidden Mist Valley Pack once more, to celebrate the union of Lucille and her mate, an elder from the Blue Moon Pack, who now decided to relocate to the
~Lana~ Another year passed. “What are you doing there? Lying there like a stick? That is so not like Alpha of you!” Lana laughed, making her way to the bed and reaching for their baby boy. “He keeps snuggling on me and no matter how much I try to give him space, he finds his way to me.” He frowned, his body laying down, sideways. He reported, “Now, I don’t have any space in the bed for myself.” Lana continued to laugh and pointed, “You should have put him in his crib.” A groan left Alric’s lips. He rolled on his back and stretched his long and thick arms, saying, “Like that would work.” “Yes, I guess you are right.” Looking down at the sleeping baby, she confirmed, “This boy right here is a certified daddy’s boy.” Jayden, their fourth pup was nine months old, and he was a very clingy baby to Alric. They could not figure it out, but each time Alric was around, his little hands stretched to Alric automatically a
~Lana~ “Wife, you sure picked a good time to be in heat,” Alric said, hissing. His eyes narrowed at her, his tongue licking his own lips. He took a big whiff at the air around him and declared, “I bet you are dying to be fucked right now.” Lana was lying on their hotel bed, her body completely warm, her head filled with lustful thoughts of her husband. “I don’t know, Alric, but I can't help it...” Her eyes darted to the wall that divided them from Max’s room. She said, “Mia and Max are in the other room.” “So?” Alric said, taking off his shirt, and instantly, the display of his well-curved muscles made Lana's panties soak. “What do you mean, so? We are both so loud in bed!” She reminded, her face burning all the way to her ears. Before Alric could answer, however, they heard moans, loud ones, coming from the other room. “Oh, gods! Max - Ahh, that feels so good - Ahh!” The walls were so narrow, Lana and A
~Author’s Narration~ Loud shrieks and cries of pain came from one room of the packhouse, within the Cross River Pack. Everyone who lingered outside the room tuned in as Mia was beaten to a pulp by her own father. “How dare you bring trouble here? You should have warned your fated mate about our rules! You cannot leave this pack! Do you hear me!” Mathew screamed and what followed next were sounds of thuds against the wooden floor, glass shattering, and Mia's cries. The cries only stopped when nightfall came and Mia fell unconscious, on the floor. Despite her condition, her father nor her twin sister did not treat her wounds. Only Mark aided in her care, groaning as he wiped the blood off her skin. When mid-morning came the next day, Alpha Jasper was calling out loud from the kitchen, demanding food. “Where is Mia? She and her brother should be cooking right now.” Mia’s sister, Leslie, stepped into the dining area and pointed o
~Max~ Max never truly understood how the fated mate bond worked. He had seen Alric, Drake, and Dean become whipped in front of their mates, but he had always marveled if it was anything stronger than his feelings for Geneva. Many claimed it would. That was the purpose of the moon goddess to put two souls together, make them one in love. Now, standing in front of his fated mate, Max had finally recognized this to be true. He was completely thrilled, overwhelmed with joy, and, in fact, warmth spread throughout his body. His wolf was howling like crazy inside of him! Apart from satisfaction, lust engulfed him. He had been in front of many naked women before. That was always the case after shifting into their wolf form. Max had also seen Geneva fully naked, but this was different. The level of arousal he felt being in front of Mia was conquering. His brother down there did not, for a second, hesitated and simply became erected and it remained
~Alric~ “Alric, where is Max?” Lana asked while packing her things. Also packing hastily, Alric replied, “He is within the Cross River Pack. East to the Port of Valmore.” “But, I thought he left for another country?” Lana asked as soon as she stuffed the last of her denim jeans. “He did, but after going around from pack to pack from the neighboring countries, he realized, we never explored the small packs of Eastern Duran. And so, that was how he found himself at the Cross River Pack’s territory,” Alric explained, before revealing his inner happiness. "Lana, I've been waiting for this day." A smile became painted on his wife's face and she answered, "I know. I'm excited to see him too. “Are you ready?” He asked impatiently. “Ready,” said Lana. Her smile did not hide her elation. Immediately after arriving at the Port of Valmore, Alric left instructions for Dean to take care of the pack while he w
~Lana~ Over one year passed. Lana’s hands were up in the air. Her blue eyes turned white as ghosts, all while she chanted the words, commanding the waters to follow her bidding. As she did, her hair also changed into the color of her eyes. She was standing by the ports, with several elders of the pack, including Alric and Valencia, observing her perform the spell she had been mastering over the past eight days. Following the words that she recited, Lana gazed up to the moon’s bright light and pleaded for the water to rise. A gush of wind suddenly engulfed her and her skin crawled. Soon, she witnessed the wave rising and creating angry roars as it flowed into the canal. From behind her, Alric commanded, “Dean, tell them to turn on the pumps! Keep the water flowing!” For nearly an hour, Lana stood by the ports, controlling the movement of the seawater into the canal, the same that streamed to the Port of Valmore,
