“What?!” I couldn’t help but raise my tone. “Where did you get that idea from?!”He raised his brow before frowning. “It was what you’ve said. You forgave Lenalee because you loved her.”“Oh, no, t-that’s completely different!” My face turned beet red as I felt my whole body heated up. It was not the arousal heat that I felt each time we made love!It was embarrassing and I couldn’t believe this young man riled me up like that!Straight-laced, he crossed his arms. “Then why did you forgive me?" Varick looked clueless and it would be best to fill him in on the details."I have no reason to hate you now. And also, just because I don't hate you anymore doesn't mean that I lo—"I stopped myself.It felt strange to say it out loud. But why did I stop myself then? The heat ruptured and I felt dizzy from this overwhelming feeling.Varick raised his brow before he said, "Am I right to assume that I am on an equal level with the High Mage?"With Phineas?! I could laugh out loud if only I wasn
“So, what d’ men and I were wonderin’ if ye two had some action,” Nadia sniggered. She was now my companion inside the carriage as Varick wanted Phineas to lead the direction to the swamp.“Err, I don’t catch you,” I struggled to answer as I gripped at the top of the coach seat as the carriage kept rocking non-stop. She volunteered to be inside this luxurious carriage as the horses pranced in the crooked road. It was a very uncomfortable ride but then again, the knights walked on foot weren’t complaining, so I decided to keep mum about my thoughts.However, the wheels struck another pointed rock and my body lifted out of my seat before I grabbed the windowsill and secured myself from dropping off from the coach.Unfazed at witnessing my embarrassing situation, she answered with a grin. “Don’ be such a child, ye know what I’m talkin’ about!”No, actually I don’t.She was sitting across from mine and leaned her head as she whispered. “Did ye two fuck like rabbits?”Ah, that one.“No, w
I stood still, unable to comprehend what I had heard. Then Varick broke the silence as he unsheathed his sword and pointed directly at her neck.“Do you think I would allow that?” He grunted as his eyes flared with anger. “If the queen wishes to see her, I should be present as the Alpha of the pack and her husband.”“You won’t be allowed to enter either way,” the woman said coldly. “The Queen was waiting for her arrival, after all.”“Huh?” I looked dumbfounded. “How does she know about me?” “She also promised you won’t turn into one of us if you followed this condition.”Varick glowered as the tip of the sword touched her neck. “Don’t believe a mermaid’s lies. This is one of their ways to lure women in!”Despite being defenseless against Varick, the woman didn’t flinch as she continued to stare at me. In fact, now that I noticed it, her golden brown eyes stared widely without blinking. It frightened me a bit.Looking at her closely, she has long wavy silver-hair, her skin was paler t
Pushing the large golden door was too burdensome. But when I finally opened with all of my strength—even using my wolf abilities to push it until it tilted, I was glad that it was over. I panted and I was engulfed with sweat from the strenuous effort to push the gold-marbled door like it was like a boulder. Oh Hati, my stay in Varick’s had definitely made me lazy. I knew I shouldn’t skip my strength training and my pride as a wolf diminished my self-confidence even more. “Kozart was right, you came.” A voice so serene like a melodic tune that could lure anyone just hearing it. I wouldn’t deny I was mesmerized and as I walked to the center of the throne room, the seat was empty except there was a crown placed on the cushion. Then I noticed that there was a lake beside the queen’s chair and a silhouette of a person became visible as a figure emerged from the water. My eyes grew wide as I couldn’t help but stare at such beauty beyond wonder. Long silver hair with golden bronze co
I was completely astonished with my clothes and as I looked at the mirror, I was now wearing a black veil and a coif. The neckerchief that fit me so perfectly and the habit skirt that reached to my ankles. It was what I always dreamed of: to wear this clothing as one of Hati’s devotees. A small tear fell from the corner of my eye as I shook my head. “Well, I will let your tardiness slide, Sister Rosaria,” Sister Anette smiled—a rare one that only happened when I actually pleased her. “Wait a second.” She pulled out a cross necklace and wrapped it around my neck. Hati’s image on the cross glistened at the reflection of the mirror. “Perfect! You are now one of us, Sister Rosaria.” It felt…right when the cold steel placed on my chest and it made me think that I was one step closer to Hati. But… This had to be a dream! “W-Wait, Sister Anette!” I turned to her as my head shook. “How could I be an official nun when I was married to Varick?” “What are you talking about?” She r
Warning: non-consensual sex of multiple menMoans slipping from my mouth echoed in the infinite darkness and the sounds of lust permeated in my ears as I was aroused all throughout the ordeal. I was now naked from head to toe and my arms were still tied to the bed. My legs were taken by two figures while they found delight playing with my feet as they sucked each toe while caressing my thighs. Two men–I counted two, were teasing me with their gentle touches as one finger entered my mouth and played with my tongue. My whole body heated up from their touches as their callous hands touched where I felt pleasure that continued piling up to my core. Since my sight had been robbed, it only strengthened my other senses and I was scared. So scared about this new discovery. The excitement. I felt the thrill from this. I had long stopped resisting as I was drowned in pleasure. Yet, the slit down below remained untouched as they continued pleasuring my arms, legs, feet and my face with the
Pain pierced through my heated core as I cried and begged him to stop until I became lifeless when he thrusted faster. I let him deflowered me and had bitten my nape to prove that I belonged to him. It was a forced marriage and it was the worst memory of him. My body shook as I reverted back to the present. The feeling was far from pleasant. And even remembering it made me stricken with mortification. I may have forgiven Varick for the effort he was trying to make me feel lately but that old memory was something I kept hidden until it would be completely forgotten. But now, here I was back in the past, standing with a thin cloth, waiting for Varick’s illusion to appear. Was this also my hidden desire? I shook my head as I turned pale. No, I wouldn’t consider this enjoyable at all! My body trembled when I felt his presence behind me. ‘No, I don’t want to experience this again!’ When his hands reached at my knot, I shut my eyes tight, shivering like a baby doe as I felt m
"H-How dare you…" Her voice trembled while she held her bruised cheek. "Instead of turning you into a mermaid, I could just turn you into a coniferous weed!" I could only glare at her. "Go ahead and you would only start a war against the Skollist pack." "What?" She scoffed. "Against us, mermaids?" "Yes, I am carrying the future heir of the pack. My husband wouldn't like it if something happens to it." Her mouth dropped, ready to retort but I cut her off. "You saw my memories, right? You know how powerful he is." Apparently, the queen had never considered the consequences of taking me to do all those tests. Seeing her eyes widened in fear, I could almost laugh. "I could have brought this up sooner…" I said as the memories earlier were indeed tiring. "But as much as possible, I want to avoid any bloodshed." The queen glared at me. "You must be joking, right?" I shook my head as I gave her a stern look. "My husband doesn't know how to humor anyone." She sighed as she finally co
Warning: implied sexual child abuseVarick’s POVI despised the thought of resting. It is the time when I’m the most vulnerable that anyone could easily slit my throat. So, I’ve always trained myself to be wary of my surroundings even when my consciousness drifted to its slumber.But it wasn’t what ticked me off. Rather, I wouldn’t mind being killed in my sleep if anyone dared to do so. It was the dreams that continue to haunt me. Dreams of old realities that I locked in my memories.Sometimes I dreamt of the time of that night after my marriage with Rosaria. Bounded by fate that I couldn’t escape, I thrusted my anger and self-loathing into her while I forcibly took her chastity. Anger on the fate given to me as I would die an inevitable death and to everything else that happened before the revelation.As soon as I poured my first seed into her unwilling womb, she murmured something under her breath and I pulled her away, catching a glimpse of her lifeless eyes before I stormed out o
“PHINEAS!”The sound of my voice reached his ears like a thunderclap, making him jump from his seat. The moment I entered his tent, his robes were drenched and stained with red wine. “Have I called you at the most inopportune timing?” I shouldn’t have asked, seeing Phineas in a foul mood, I knew I shouldn’t bother him at this hour. Seeing bottles of alcohol on the table, he had been drinking the entire time. He squeezed the bottom part of his robes while continuing to glare at me.“What?” It must be the alcohol talking but his cheeks were flushed red—but then again, it could be because his anger pointed directly to my direction. “Sorry, Phineas but it would be great if I could speak to you alone. Could we teleport somewhere else?” I whispered as I glanced at the tent outside, hearing the voices of gossiping women and children playing around didn’t give us any privacy at all.He immediately noticed the change of my expression and despite overdosing with alcohol, he recovered to sobr
It took them months before they took all of their Skollist pack members and hid them all in the large grotto where they knew they were safe. Just as suspected, more of the nuclear bombs dropped from the sky and directly to their vicinity and the area was nothing but a wasteland. Nearby packs and other races had long fled from their homes from the toxic fumes reaching their territory and begged to move across the borders and away from the war. But the Red Moon Pack wouldn’t give a damn. They only wanted what they were meant to do in the first place: To eliminate Skoll’s descendant along with his pack.And so, all hid in the grottos, the swamps and the forests hidden from the human eye. And they feared the worst that the more they threw those “bombs” into their land, the lesser chance of making the area inhabitable. The Skollist wolves had gone defiant that some had gone rogue and begged the wolves across the border to enter—only to reach their demise as they were kil
"Do you actually believe that elf, my lord?" Perturbed by the events, Herschel asked the second time after they departed. They walked back to the grotto whereas the elf known as Verona embarked a quiet journey back home. "Whether I believed her or not, the fact that the atomic bomb was true. If they strike again, most likely they will strike our kingdom first."And there would be no pack to protect if all failed. "These bombs…even this is beyond my expertise," he murmured, apprehensively. "What must we do to stop the bombs, my lord?""Humans are aware that they do not wish to interfere with magical beings and their affairs. They are supported by the Red Moon Pack. If we kill its Alpha, they have no reason to attack us."For now.“What about this human bard she spoke so highly of? Why did he save us, my lord?”Varick's lips pursed yet his feet didn't stop heading back to the grotto. All of his years, the Alpha of the Skollist pack often speaks with his mind. When he
It had been twenty minutes and there wasn't any progress in healing the mages. Their burns and their exposure to the explosion had been too difficult to heal them, let alone those who were unwilling to be touched by me. In fact, I couldn't as the chemicals and toxic scent might be contagious. So, Phineas and I made a wind barrier to avoid spreading the toxin around the pack. Yet, even so, I had to hurry or else the rest of the soldiers' lives would reach their inevitable end unless I made haste. "Please…let me die…" These agonizing words continued repeating in between their groans. Yet, I continued chanting the Holy Lycan spells, avoiding a single second of distraction as I tried to repair the soft tissues of their burned skin. Yet, fixing a charred skin to its original form would take hours for a single man. I started to doubt I could save them all. 'No, I shouldn't think like this! These men deserved to live!' I thought as a trail of sweat irritated my eye as I continued
Hello, The book will be on hiatus for the time being. I'm sorry, readers but I will return once I've sorted some stuff soon. Stuff happening lately and I didn't want to write something that wouldn't be interesting for all of you. Thus, I would like to take a break for a while. However, the update will be staggering and I won't be updating daily like before. I hope that's all right. I love this book but for the time being with the burn out I'm feeling, I'd rather pause and continue once everything is fine. Once again, thanks for your support for reading this book. Sincerely, Aly Wrights
“Phineas, send us there now!” Yet, Phineas stood there, petrified like his eyes stared at the smoke before him. I grabbed his shoulder and violently shook him to regain his senses. “We have no time, Phineas! Varick is—!”“No, we can’t.”At first, his cold voice surprised me before I glared at him. “Why not? We are the healers, aren’t we?!”Phineas turned to glare at me. “Luna, don’t let your emotions sway your decision! You can use your canine senses, right?!”As soon as he mentioned it, I sensed it. The scent was faint yet I could recognize it so well. I didn’t realize the lingering smell of a mixture of decaying bodies and toxins around the area. It made my stomach churned as I knelt on the ground.I rushed to a nearby bush and vomited. I was holding my breath for too long and when I came to my senses, the scent was so agonizing that I knelt down and threw up.“I can’t risk you going there, Luna. You are carrying the heir of the Skollist pack and something tells me coming closer w
Varick clenched his fists as he glowered.Some of his men stepped back as their wolves whimpered.This was supposed to be a surprise attack, yet, why were they the ones surprised.In Varick's mind, someone–within the pack–relayed a message of their incoming strike.It wasn’t common to have his own men betray him in exchange for being spared from death. Yet, none were successful to ever live after the betrayal. "This will be the day we will kill you, Varick!" Cassius, the Alpha of Blue Fangs bellowed. Varick didn't respond as he threw out his sword and shield, making the enemy side "think" he surrendered.No, wolves who personally fought him knew that his armor was more of a disability of his. And now, the Alpha decided to strip himself off his armor, showing his chiseled body with his battle scars.The enemy packs roared in laughter."Surrendering yourself naked? I see the Neanderthal finally learned to give up!" One of the betas commented. Herschel gave a ghost of
They had finally arrived at the gated vicinity of the Red Moon Pack. They camped within the grotto within the waterfall as it was a great place for their hidden base. The pack also removed every trace of their tracks behind. Horses were situated outside the grotto and three of the troops acted as guards and feeders for the stallions. The tents were placed as their temporary residing station.It was at night time when they arrived and they lit a bonfire inside. They made sure the vicinity was being protected by the High Mage's magic barrier to avoid tracing their scent. All men, weary from moving on foot, sat on the ground as they were waiting for the Alpha to make his speech. As they knew this war would be the first they decided to strike. In the past battles, a fight between them and the other packs happened when the outsider decided to strike them first. Now with the successful invasion and the innocent lives died through an unknown cause, in their minds, st
