Facing the Lycan King

last update Last Updated: 2023-05-23 03:12:07

Rhea is led into the main hall by the twins in complete silence. The long corridors have long arches at their sides, like a path through a garden of green grass and colorful, fragrant flowers, and her blue eyes search through every detail. From there, it's possible to see a small waterfall that falls from the mountains and makes a pond further on. Even though the Bestiary Continent is a place of dry land, this garden reminds her a bit of her home.

She shakes her head, putting aside those whining thoughts that insist on catching her off guard. Sooner, she's facing the huge double doors that are being opened for her passage. On the other side, an immense hall is displayed, and at the top of a platform made by a few steps, is a big black throne, which resembles the head and paws of a wolf. Sitting majestically on it, is Callisto.

Now properly dressed and cleaned of blood, he's wearing a long white coat with gold details. And even though Callisto doesn't look so savage anymore, his presence is still menacing… in fact, he looks even more dangerous… it's like those golden shoulder pads weigh more than they really do.

And now, Rhea feels that she is, indeed, facing the Lycan King.

Standing in front of the small steps, Rhea copies the reference the twins made, the traditional one of this Realm. Her head remains straight, but her body leans slightly, and her right hand goes to her chest, while the left lowers itself gracefully in the same rhythm as her body. She did it so perfectly that Callisto's yellow eyes sparkled slightly.

He attentively examines the clothes she's wearing. A top that covers her breasts and weaves down to her waist, along with a long skirt and a hoop belt. Her hands are covered by a long glove that goes down to her bracelets. Like all native women, she's wearing golden accessories, and a tiara on her forehead.

“I thought I told you to show me how you resemble humans… This is your first day in this land, and you already dare to contest the King?” Callisto's voice is serious, and sends shivers through the twins, who immediately flinch, and retreat at the same speed.

Rhea raises her eyes as she returns to her graceful posture, thinking if she just imagined the amused touch in his words.

“My clothes are too warm for the weather…. I'm sure the King wouldn't want me to melt to just fulfill his whims…”

Again, Callisto's eyes glisten, and a very discreet smile rises at the corner of his lips, “I didn't realize that my Luna is so fragile that she could melt from this heat?”

Rhea forces a nice smile, even if inside she's insulting him in many creative ways, “Yes, my King. I don't have much strength, so I'll have to disappoint you by not fulfilling your wish. Moreover, I'll have to be a nuisance, being that I'll need my own clothes.”

“I see you're very… comfortable… in these.” He points at her dismissively, even if the word comfortable isn't exactly what he wished to say — what he thought is that she looks simply irresistible, since the typical clothes of his kingdom show much more of her body.

Her body… That slim waist, the spine that juts out at her back…

Callisto swallows dryly and clears his throat, trying to get rid of these thoughts… What's happening to me?

“Unfortunately, I had to borrow them, since mine are unsuitable…” Rhea speaks carefully, noticing that Callisto's expression shuts slightly… Hadn't he noticed?

“I see… I thought it were familiar. Not only did you have the boldness to challenge the King of this land on your first day, but you also wear the clothes of this King's deceased sister?” Callisto taps his fingers on the back of the throne, causing his long fingernails to clink in that empty hall.

“I didn't imagine it would have a problem, seeing as I'm the King's Luna.”

Callisto stirs restlessly in the throne, feeling a knot in his stomach. Why is he so impatient, anyway? The way Rhea looks at him, so steady… her eyes don't tilt for a wink… He's not used to being stared at in such an uneasy way….

“Not yet.” He brings his restless hand up to his face, covering his mouth for a moment. His fingers rub the beard that's beginning to grow and already needs to be shaved, “Perhaps I'll return your head to the High Sanctity.”

Rhea feels a shiver run through her body, and her nostrils are filled with Callisto's pheromones that are clearly hostile… But why is that? Instead of being afraid or feeling repulsed…

She bites her lips, breathing deeply to ignore the heat that's consuming her body. This weather… she's just not used to the weather…

“If you could just get rid of me, my King, you wouldn't have accepted the state.” Rhea says confidently, holding her blue eyes to his.

Callisto sighs, stopping is pheromones — and that causes her to release a relieved breath, filling her lungs discreetly to its fullest.

“I would like to inform you that preparations for our ceremony have begun. It will take place in three days, and it will happen in this castle. Following our tradition, a folk festival will begin on this very day, and will last seven days, when the moon enters its new phases.”

“Are Bonding Ceremonies also celebrated here, in the Lycan Realm?” Rhea asks with sincere curiosity, and her eyes shine slightly, like a river bathed in sunshine.

“Probably not like in your land. We have our Bonding Ceremony, and whenever a King finds his mate, a festival is held for the Lycan people.” He explains, scratching his chin. “No need to worry… Most of the time, you won't need to do anything but watch.”

Rhea lowers her head and repeats the bow, “As you wish, my King.”

“By the way… I'll ask Skôll to bring the merchants so that you may choose what you wish…. It bothers me that my mate is wearing my late sister's clothes.” He grunts, then throws his head back, “Wait… How old are you?”

“Oh…” Rhea shrinks at the words of the sudden question, “I am twenty, my King.”

“Twenty? And you're wearing the clothes of a sixteen-year-old brat?” He looks at her intently, and his eyes glow again, intensely…. Rhea feels as if a shiver is running through every cell in her body. “Besides new clothes, it appears that I'll have to feed you better as well.”

Her cheeks redden slightly from the subjective tone, and her insides seem to heat up again. “I appreciate your care, my King.”

Callisto hides his smile behind his hand, “You may retire. I'll see you in three days, my Luna.”

    Three days pass quickly, and before Rhea knows it, the moment when she will finally be accepted as Luna de Callisto arrives.When Rhea gets to the garden that where the Bonding Ceremony will take place, she feels a chill inside her dress. It's the same she first spotted when she went to the royal hall.The nights in this place can be quite cold, considering the heat that prevails during the day. But the reason for the chill isn't the breeze that shakes her black hair, which has only a tiara, but the several smells that mix together, making it almost suffocating. So many powerful pheromones…The guests organize themselves around a path of white petals, which Rhea walks along, dragging her long silk dress that marks every curve of her body, including her hard nipples from the cold and anxiety. There's nothing but the light fabric on her body, which unlike the other clothes, covers more skin than expected, despite the bare shoulders. If it weren't for the long gloves, everyone could have

  • The King's Cursed Luna   A great party

    A great party has been organized for the guests to enjoy in one of the halls of the castle. The platform features two thrones, like the ones in the previous hall, although this place is much more luxurious. Rhea can't help but be dazzled by the amount of gold and precious stones in this land. It's said that the Bestiary Continent is extremely rich because no human has been able to leave it alive. Despite this, the Lycan people seem to live very well among these walls and mountains.Rhea, seated on the throne, takes a sip of the delicious wine, which envelops her in its aroma. As she's still wearing her smooth dress, with Callisto's cloak over her shoulders, she watches as the guests enjoy themselves and talk loudly. A truly lively folk.In her kingdom, the balls were filled with rules. It was easy to feel suffocated, with extremely tight corsets and breasts almost sticking out. Sharp looks, ambiguous words… It was always tiring. But here, in this atmosphere… Rhea can't help but smile.

    Rhea can still feel her heart beating strongly. Ever since she left the royal hall beside Callisto and followed him to his quarters, she feels a mixture of feelings and adrenaline pulsing strongly in her veins. And when the image of Callisto in his wolf shape returns to her mind, a shiver runs through her body… She had never seen a wolf as big as his.And even now, in that room that's impregnated with Callisto's pheromones, she can't relax. Especially when he removes his cape and reveals his back full of diverse scars. Callisto puts on baggy pants, then turns to Rhea, who again lays her eyes on the huge scar on his chest… and on the eight packs.I'm already starting to feel funny......Her attention is quickly diverted when Callisto's voice sounds soft, so different from when they were in the hall, “I'm sorry if I startled you. I didn't mean to lose control.”“It's okay…” She hugs her body.Noticing her discomfort, Callisto brings his hand to the back of his neck, searching for the ri

    Callisto is sitting at the table, watching quietly as Rhea delicately cuts a piece of meat and brings it to her mouth. He takes a moment to appreciate how her lips open and move, and how she sometimes licks them in subtle ways. Even though they're considerably apart, each at one end of the table, he's able to smell the soft scent of jasmine that makes his chest warm. Rhea notices and raises her eyes, staring directly into Callisto's, and they keep up eye contact for a few moments. The silence is already starting to become uncomfortable. Since Callisto ran away last night, after the Bonding Ceremony, they have not exchanged a single word. Still, occasionally, their eyes meet — only to him look away the next instant. She puts down the silverware gently, without breaking eye contact. She brings the wine-filled glass to her lips, keeping her blue eyes locked on his. As she knows, he's watching the way her throat moves, swallowing the reddish liquid that, even without touching his lips,

    Rhea is walking through one of the palace gardens, enjoying the sun warming her skin. Maybe it's because it was a direct order from Callisto, but the merchants came really fast, and she was able to choose everything she wanted. Extravagance has never been one of her features, but since nothing she brought suits this kingdom, she had to spend more than she meant. Callisto didn't protest. In fact, they hardly exchange words or meet. It's a bit lonely.Walking outside the estate is also not something Rhea is used to. She was always forced to be closed, but at least entertained herself with books, her true passion. Lately, it has been so agitated that she even forgot to ask Callisto if there's a library in the palace.She wonders… Honestly, the hostility between Werewolves and Lycan is so bad that some of their features are seen as pejorative, even as a joke. Like the fact that Lycans have several mates…Rhea pauses suddenly, with realization falling heavy on her shoulders.Did Callisto r

  • The King's Cursed Luna   Folk festival

    From the balcony of her chambers, Rhea looks out, beyond the city that lies below the castle, surrounded by the mountains. From there, she can also see the walls and the lake that protects them from the outside world. Her eyes can also reach the horizon, where the wild land rises beyond the Bestiary Continent, but there's really nothing than earth. Rhea catches herself wondering what lies ahead, further south.But her attention wanders to the lively city, which she can see that's crowded with people who are having fun. She feels her chest burn with anticipation and a certain disappointment; since finding that her pheromones are getting stronger, she hasn't been able to enjoy the folk festival as she had planned. Five days have passed since her Bonding Ceremony, and soon the festival will come to an end, on the arrival of the full moon.And this causes anxiety to bubble up inside Rhea's body.“My Queen, is something wrong?” Atria asks, with an evidently worried expression on her face.

  • The King's Cursed Luna   Amathea Warriors

    On a platform made of wood, in the corners, musicians gather to play drums. The drumming is rhythmic, creating a fast and slightly unnerving melody, with the feeling that something is about to come up. Gathered around, making a circle, the people watch the empty stage and the way the musicians beat their hands on the instrument, making the hollow sound reverberate through all their ears.Rhea's heart seems to beat in the same rhythm, anxious for the scenes that will develop there. And in the blink of an eye, five warriors from Amathea suddenly appear, after jumping from the roof. Her blue irises glisten with anticipation, as these warriors, with bare chests full of tattoos and red lines, begin to move agilely, in rhythm with the drumming that gets even faster.Their movements are synchronized, in perfect harmony. They're so precise that it seems like a reflex. The sway of their body, the movement of their hips and legs that rise high, as if they were kicking an enemy, everything makes

  • The King's Cursed Luna   Lost control

    — During the performance of the Amathea's Warriors, Callisto is wearing a linen cloak, watching the stage from a small distance, hidden in the shadows of the night. His eyes are fixed firmly beyond the stage. They're locked on Rhea. And with his arms crossed, he barely blinks.“I shouldn't have allowed her to come…” He mutters to himself.“If you're so worried, why didn't you go with her?” Skôll asks with a yawn.Callisto's eyes land on Skôll, who's also wearing a linen cloak, but with a nonchalant posture. He opens his lips to answer him sharply, but gives up, pursing his lips and turning his eyes to Rhea again.Why didn't he go with her? Being around that she-wolf is dangerous. Ever since Callisto marked her, his behavior has become increasingly strange. His self-control has always been a virtue. Even when overcome by hatred, Callisto can reason with precision. All his attitudes have always been aimed at the best possible results. This is why acting impulsively or giving in to ins

  • The King's Cursed Luna   Her last words

    Rhea's heart beats so hard, she fears that the seemingly blind creature might hear it and feel even more spurred to attack. But even if she could stop the vicious beating, it wouldn't help because the smell of her blood is tempting the beast. She tries to drag herself across the sandy ground, doing her best to make sure no desperate grunts, no sounds escape through her lips, even if she's hurting herself by brushing her fragile skin against stones. Her eyes are wet, but she refuses to cry out for the mercy of the Moon Goddess, who has laid such a horrible curse on her poor existence. However, when the creature's feet hit the ground hard and kick up more dust, a stubborn tear trickles down her cheek — which she quickly wipes away, dirtying her face. The creature roars loudly, chilling Rhea's skin, causing her to immediately freeze. Her whole body is shaking, and even though her mind is screaming, begging to get on her feet and run, reason is telling her the obvious truth: there's no

    I can't believe it… I can't believe it — Rhea tries to find the reason, tries to understand why her fingertips are bloody… How did she hurt him like that? Where did it come from… that growl?Her heel screws into a hole, and she goes down, scratching her knees on the stone floor, which she finally notices that doesn't belong to the palace surroundings… She's in the city, on the streets away from the Main Avenue.How the hell did I get here? She thinks, in despair, looking around, trying to appease the heart that's beating desperately in her chest, so hard that it seems about to tear through her chest.Rhea looks down at her hands open on the floor, at Callisto's blood that’s still on her skin, staining her fingers, under the nails that have become sharp like a wolf's.A wolf.She feels the cry loose from her throat, as well as a tear trickling from the corner of her eye, quickly losing itself down her contorted face.It doesn't make sense......

    Survivors of the fallen packs.These words continue to hover in Rhea's mind, taking her attention for the rest of the morning, to the point that she's completely oblivious to her surroundings. Since Rhea discovered that there were many children living in that orphanage, and that many others had lost their lives for being children of fallen alphas… A persistent knot has been in her throat.Is there something I can do to change this…?Rhea wrinkles her lips and a sigh escapes through them… But before any whimper becomes audible, she notices a sudden movement on the horizon, several men carrying timbers and setting up some sort of platform that took shape quickly, as she's sure that the day before there wasn't something like this.“Atria?” She calls to the nearest Lycan, without taking her eyes off those men who seem engaged to building.“Yes, my Queen?”“Is there something going on that I'm not aware of?”Atria stops beside Rhea, following the Queen's eyes that are beyond the horizon….

    The only times Rhea has actually been to the Capital were on her arrival, which she didn't get out of the carriage, and the night of the festival — and, honestly, she doesn't have fond memories of the second one… Still, as the sun came up that morning, she put on her most comfortable clothes and decided it was finally time to leave the great stone walls of the palace and get to know a little more about her new people.She dismissed the company of the twins as, according to her, this is something she must by herself.Descending the small stone-covered hill, her eyes catch all the surrounding details. She had noticed it before, when she first arrived, but it's a truly living city. Unlike the barren lands that surround it, the Capital is covered by fragrant flowers and smiling people, who live their lives completely oblivious to the Queen's walk.Soon, her feet guided her to Main Avenue, a long cobblestone path, surrounded by square houses that rise to several levels, with some stalls on

  • The King's Cursed Luna   My Luna, my true mate

    The dress that Callisto delivered to Rhea's chamber is probably the most beautiful she has ever seen in her entire life, even though, as the daughter of a Werewolf Kingdom nobleman, she was used to beautiful and luxurious things. But this dress is something that certainly stands out; its silk threads have been woven with tiny diamonds that give points of light throughout the length. And its fit is so perfect that it seems to have been made directly on Rhea's body.Scented from head to toe, she smells herself, feeling no trace of her pheromone that should be out of control now that the moon has returned to the sky. Although the second day isn't as intense as the first, when it's in full glow, the curse should be sneaking up on her, setting her body on fire, making her completely lose her mind.For some reason, she's not feeling on the verge of madness.And as she walks to the hall, being guided by the Lycan twins, Rhea looks beyond the arches that connect to the beautiful garden, bathe

    Rhea opens her eyes, feeling Callisto's warm breath on her neck, as well as his tongue sliding out, making a wet path to her mark, sucking discreetly… holding her hips firmly and rubbing his erection in the middle of her ass. She lets out a hoarse, low moan, and feels his chest rise and fall on her bare back. “Callisto…?” He growls against the back of her neck, giving a wet kiss, pulling her hips to meet his. She feels her ass slick, in a mixture of sweat, arousal, and pleasure that extended beyond the moment the full moon began to disappear from the sky. But unlike all other times the curse has taken over her body, the fire seems to be persisting even with the sun shining outside, spreading through the middle of her legs that’s ready to take him again. The scent of his pheromones is still hovering in the air, impregnated into her skin, being released with intensity. He continues to kiss the back of her neck, moving his hips so that his erection slides down the middle of her buttoc

    Rhea sinks her knees into the mattress, sitting on his abs again. She tosses her black hair to one shoulder, resting her hands on his chest, which is rising and falling quickly from his abrupt breathing.Her skin is shivering, even her hard nipples are lifting the cloth, attracting the hungry eyes of Callisto, who can't help but notice how his Luna's skin is taking on the tan of the area.His firm hands move up her thighs, lifting the dress while his toughed, rough palm makes its way to the curves of her waist, while she pulls down one of the straps of the dress herself.But Callisto is impatient. The heat that's consuming him makes the beast inside him unable to reason. He wants to see his mate's body… Wants to see her smooth skin and perfect breasts — so he uses his sharp nails to rip the dress completely open, ridding her of those fabrics that aroused her skin at the slightest rub.Still with his sharp nails, Callisto holds her hip firmly, moving it slightly forward, sliding her we

    Rhea's mind is completely blank. She can't resist Callisto's pheromones, which seem as inebriating as wine. Her nails slide down his bare thigh, scratching the tanned skin. She also rubs her lips together, flavoring the taste of his skin, and she moans as it tasted like the most delicious thing in the world.This makes Callisto shiver and draws the eyes of Rhea, who is now sitting on her own legs, struggling against the short cuffs on her wrists. Her eyes are completely wet, glistening in a mixture of deep desire and lust, but her gaze is soft and almost desperate — a real torture for Callisto, who feels his heart beating even more strongly.She returns her lips to his thigh, moving dangerously upward, dragging her tongue so that it leaves a wet path to his popping hipbone. Now she's getting on her knees, getting to the perfect height to hold his hips and rub her teeth on the curve the eight packs make in his abs.
