The Battle of The Lycan Kings Missing
13 Caden’s POVSince I saw the mark on Celine’s neck, I have not been at peace. I had never really seen the mark on her neck, but I had heard of a mask like that, but the only person who I knew had gotten such a mark was Erik’s mother, and she didn’t survive.There were a lot of rumors at the time when it happened. Erik was just ten, and I was not yet an acquaintance of his. I only saw him at the Lycan Academy and that was it.One of the most prominent rumors was that Erik’s mother was a witch and that she worked with Lohki until her contract expired. They said that she had saved Erik’s life with magic and that Erik was a demon child.Those days at school, I felt awful for Erik. I never knew who started the rumors, but I felt in my heart that it wasn’t true.No one would sit with him, look at him or even talk to him, so he numbed himself to the pain of no one caring about him, and he became the icy man that he is today.One day, I was in dire need of help and Erik happened to be ther

Caden’s POV We searched everywhere for Maeve, but after a very long time, we found her in the woods. She was on the ground shaking like a leaf. We took her back home, and we called Yola, but despite everything Yola tried, Maeve did not get better. Instead, she got worse. “Why is this happening?” I asked, not really expecting an answer, as I placed my hand on Maeve’s hot skin. Her face had become pale, and her lips were dried and cracked. She was looking like a shadow of herself and I just couldn’t figure out what to do. “We need to figure out something fast. If Erik sees her like this…” Yola said as she paced up and down the room. “Why is only Erik’s feelings being put in consideration here? Caden and I also care about Maeve,” Leon said, but he didn’t sound bitter or angry, he sounded curious. Yola looked at him, and then she looked away without saying a word. “Yola, is there something you’re not telling us?” “I have done some research on situations of multiple mates. It is ve

Maeve’s POVTwo years agoMy decision to go with Lohki was one driven by pain and grief, but what choice did I really have?I was rejected and cast away by my own mate. He didn’t even bother to look me in the eye when he banished me.I guess I was just too insignificant for him to care. Maybe Lohki was right, maybe what I needed was revenge. I wanted to make them regret ever sending me away. I wanted to make them pay.As I followed Lohki deeper into the forest, things became strange. It looked like the trees were moving, and it looked like the sky was staring right at me with strange colored eyes.“What’s going on?” I asked before I slammed into his body.“Oh sorry, you must not have known I would stop walking,” he said, smiling only with his eyes.“Umm…no, and it didn’t help that my eyes were stuck on those two up there,” I said, but he didn’t bother looking up.“That is Myra,” he said simply before he started walking again.“Myra?”“Yes, she helps me watch everything as long as it i

Maeve’s POVBeing wrapped in the arms of the one who once rejected me cruelly was indeed a strange feeling for me. I remember how I heard his name in my heart the first time I saw him. I already envisioned our life together in those moments.I was so happy to be mated to a Lycan king, but when I realized the other two were my mates as well, I was overwhelmed. I knew everything would depend on whatever their verdict would be, but unfortunately, Erik, the greatest of them, rejected me and banished me.It was his fault that all of this happened. He made me run away, only to meet Lohki, who turned me into a killing machine. Considering how much I grew to loathe my mates after their rejection, I am surprised that I didn’t at least try to kill him.Now that the amulet is gone, my wicked tendencies are also gone. Even if I wanted to hurt him, I couldn’t. The truth of the matter was that my anger was completely gone.“ If we had known that the amulet was the cause of your pain, we would’ve go

Maeve’s POV“Erik! I know you don’t want the old me back, but it’s better than losing me entirely,”“Is there no other way?” He asked, his eyes filled with desperation as he started to take the amulet from his pocket.“No, there is no other way. Please just bring it,” I said.Erik sighed and wore the amulet around my neck. Instantly, my breathing steadied, and I was okay for a moment.The only thing was, my rage was back. With one swift motion, I turned to Erik and pushed him against the wall as I said, “What exactly were you trying to do just now?”“Maeve, just go back to bed and rest, don’t waste your strength on me,” he said in a tone so dismissive that I boiled with anger and blocked his path.“Oh, what’s the matter? I’m not sweet girl enough for you anymore? Now you’re not going to stay by my bed and ask me if I’m okay anymore? Don’t forget that you did this to me! If you hadn’t sent me away-““- I know, okay? I get it! It was all my fault, and I’m truly sorry, but Maeve, we both

Erik’s POV*14 years ago before Erik’s mother’s death*“Erik!” I heard my father call after I had destroyed one of the artifacts in his room. It was an accident. I didn’t really mean to do it. It's just that I’d seen something quite intriguing under the bed in his room.They looked like small, pearly objects, and they were glowing very faintly.“Erik! I know you’re the one who broke this damn artifact! Don’t let me come sniff you out or else!” I heard him bark as he started heading angrily for my room, but knowing my father, I didn’t hide in my room, I went to my mother’s room. I was in her closet, hoping he wouldn’t find me.“Erik! If I find you –““- Damon! What’s wrong?” I heard my Mom say as she met with him in the lobby.“Your son destroyed our family heirloom!”“Damon, that thing is barely an heirloom. Besides, he must not have done it on purpose.”“It doesn’t mean he shouldn’t be punished for his actions. You’re spoiling him, Heather!”“I have no problem with him being punished

Erik’s POVThe explanation my mother gave for someone’s gemstone not shattering was if their bond was too powerful. However, I did damage my gemstone two years ago. If what my mother said was true, then this gemstone should not have broken in the first place. Maybe what she meant was that in such cases, even if you destroy it, it would become whole again.I looked at the gemstone in my hands, it was glowing dimly now, and I feared that Maeve would die soon. Without another moment to waste, I ran as fast as I could to my car and started driving back to where Maeve was resting in Hexon.When I got there, Caden and Leon were nowhere to be found, the only person standing in front of the room where she was resting was Yola. As usual, she maintained a blank expression, but I knew for a fact that she was worried.“Yola, how is she?” I asked.“She doesn’t have much time Erik, you should go say your goodbyes,” she said, avoiding my eyes while I nodded.“I’m very sorry that I failed you again.

Maeve’s POVI woke up feeling different. Something had changed in me, I could feel it. I felt like my old self again and all my bitterness and hatred was gone. As my eyes lazily opened, I sneezed twice, wrinkling my nose as I sat up.“Maeve? Maeve?" I heard someone say, but my vision was still a little blurry.“Guys, she’s alive!” I heard another person say as I blinked repeatedly.“Faye?” I said, looking at my friend who I hadn’t seen for a while. Faye closed her mouth with her palms as tears welled in her eyes. Before I could say anything, she hugged me so tightly, saying, “I knew you wouldn’t die, I just knew you’d make it!”“What happened?” I asked when she released me.“I was told that you were sick and that you wouldn’t make it. We all came to say our goodbyes, but I came with some flowers I thought you might like, with hopes that you would wake up when you perceive their fragrance,” Faye said, while the other woman with her nodded.“Aren’t flowers what people bring when someone

The Battle of The Lycan Kings Something I'll Regret
Erik's POVIt's been weeks since I left for East Pack. Last, I heard everything is perfect in Hexon. There is peace, and it's almost as if no one remembers that an ultimatum was handed to us from Lohki. I'm not trying to fault them for what they're doing, but Caden and Leon are really blowing it. While they've been lazing around, posting pictures of their joint relationship with Maeve, I've been working very hard with my men, making sure they are ready for the fight. If I don't do anything, they'll just sit there and let this war come to them. Today, I decided to take action. I hit the road heading to Hexon, and I was amazed by what I saw when I got there. They've completely moved every essence of their pack to Hexon. These two men have no intention of going back to their respective packs to rule. It seems they want to stay here with Maeve! "Whatever," I scoffed as I parked my car in front of the Meeting Arena. I knew they'd be in there pretending to attend to menial things like,
The Battle of The Lycan Kings East Pack
Erik’s POVThis was the beginning - the beginning of my sufferings. After the risk I took in saving Maeve, I started to suffer the consequences.I know I gave Yola a letter, wishing Maeve good wishes for her, Leon and Caden, but I didn’t really avoid her like Leon claimed.Instead, I was right outside the door and I could hear everything, even their kissing. Although, that was too much torture for me. The minute I figured out what was happening, I left immediately.But it wasn’t long after, I heard Yola calling me from behind. I was so close to my residence, but I respected her, so I decided to wait for her, at least to hear her out before I went to my house.“Why were you walking so quickly?” She asked and when I saw her heavily she was breathing I felt bad.“I’m sorry,” I said.“You don’t seem very overjoyed about Maeve’s recovery,”“I am,” I said simply.“No, something’s not right with you and you know it. You left me saying you would do whatever it took to save her, and now she’s
