"Don't worry, you will get used to it." Ma'am Lucy said as though she read my thoughts. There were some guards guarding the frontage of the different axis of the exquisite buildings.

"He really is the king…" I murmured in awe gaping around the place. My father's house, despite how I usually saw it as one of the finest houses in my pack, was like nothing compared to this beauty.

"Excuse me, we are here to see the king…He is aware of our coming." I heard Ma'am Lucy ask one of the men on duty.

I didn't hear the guard speak but Ma'am Lucy was soon calling out to me.

"Come along girl! The King is waiting."

"Yes ma'am," I mumbled still partly in awe as I took quick long strides to catch up with her. She pushed open the entrance door and we let ourselves in.

The dead silence of the room struck me the moment we stepped in.

A series of portraits and pictures of people I guessed to be legends or perhaps had an impact on the pack hung on the wall.

    DERRICK KING"So, what did you decide to do with her?" Damian asked as he strolled into my office.I was busy with some documents. There was a lot more about being a Lycan king. Asides making tough decisions, this was also part of it…signing of and approving necessary projects and duties."Have you seen Rick? Why hasn't he submitted the list of men fit for the next level of training yet?" I asked without taking my eyes off the paper I was looking through. "I have no idea what that bastard is up to…I haven't set my eyes on him since morning." Damain said without interest and slumped into the settee across my table. The door opened and someone trotted in briskly. "Here, sir. Forgive my lateness." I looked up to see Rick drop a file on the desk and flashing me a dirty grin. "Where have you been?" I asked him as I ran my eyes down his chaotic body."Training your men, of course. We went hunting too. Damn, the hounds are pumped. I bet they wouldn't waste a second to rip apart anythin

    BLOOD MOON PACK WRITER'S POV"This is so strange…" Jimmy said as he and Emily walked out of Alpha Blake's home. "Exactly…she couldn't have just gone off the grid without notice. Does it even make sense?" Emily added. She was worried and scared at the same time. They were heading out of Alpha Blake's house where they were informed by one of the servants that Lia hadn't been home for more than a few days. They all thought she was with them as she used to be in the past and they, Jimmy and Emily equally thought she was at home. "Wait!" Emily screeched to a halt. She sneered as a sudden thought hit her. "You don't think she is with Carlos right now?"Jimmy's face rumpled. "You mean like Carlos has kidnapped her? But why would he do that? He found his mate and…"Emily smacked his head. "Idiot, not like kidnapped her. Maybe she went to him to beg him to take her back.""Lia wouldn't do that. You know Lia, she cares about her pride," Jimmy said. "Hm-mm," Emily nodded thoughtfully. J

And when he tried to ignore her and get back to the house, she would pout and burst into tears.But the Hulk wasn't having it again. He straightened up and faced her. Then he gripped her by the neck and lifted her to his eye level. "You dare trick me… who made you do this?" He growled.Barnes writhed in pain. "I…I really lost…""Tell me who made you do this or I will end you right now…""Let me go and I will tell you!"He lowered her back to the ground still glaring at her. "Speak!" He barked.Barnes wiped her face. Emily had told her to try and hold off the Hulk for as long as she could. But she wasn't sure she could continue anymore. The Hulk was already sniffing the foul play.

The news has been sent out. Damian took care of that and he is already at the meeting hall.""To every pack like I asked?"He stared briefly at me. "Yes, as you had ordered, my king. But if I may overstep my boundaries…" Rick started."What is it, Rick? You have always overstepped your boundaries anyways." "Laura is still out there. What if she isn't so pleased with your decision to marry again. I mean what if she returns right now…""Don't worry about that Rick. Let her be found first." I patted his shoulder before I started to the meeting hall where both the Lycan elders and the werewolves Alphas were waiting for my arrival. Rick's question lingered momentarily in my head. I hadn't actually given it a thought. What I was supposed to do when I find Laura and bring her back. But I decided to go with my words.

    LIA BLAKEI was exhausted, weak and my entire body begged for a rest. Unfortunately it wasn't getting it. There was still a lot more to do. I looked at the heaped plates before me. I wondered if they fed the whole pack. How did they always have this huge amount of plates to wash each day? It wasn't my turn to wash the dishes. Meanie and her friends had made me do it. I was doing their work alongside mine. The only time they did their work was only when the elder servants supervised us. It had been four days since I became a servant in Harrow Wood pack. Five days since I left Blood Moon pack."Consider yourself lucky you haven't been sent to the slave quarters. Be grateful the king has allowed you to be a servant. If you challenge us, we will make you go there…" Meanie had said to me when I came back from the Lycan king's quarters."Now tell me, what did you discuss with the king? You are coming back from his quarters…" I looked at them and greatly wished the burden from meeting t

    LIA BLAKE"Would you like to choose your servants by yourself?" Ma'am Lucy asked me as she led me into the senior servants quarters. "Urhm," I mumbled, not sure if I wanted to do that. "Those girls, punish them now." My wolf urged me. My wolf can be really fierce. Sometimes I wondered how she coped with a softie like me. But then I figured I would be doing myself more good by not letting them anywhere near me. Who knew how darkened their mind would be now about me after what the Lycan King acted minutes ago. Fortunately ma'am Lucy didn't say another word about it again and quietly led me into a living room that was quite large in a way. The junior servants quarters didn't have a living room. "Sit down and wait while I get the first aid box," she told me before she sauntered into the next room. I had never entered the senior servants quarters. It looked more refined than the ordinary servants quarters although the blocks weren't much apart from each other. There were two long

    WRITER'S POV WEDDING DAY“Get the earrings! Get the… don't let it ruin her dress. Be careful with the makeup. Don't apply a lot of powder… use a fuller brush… be easy while you do that…”Ma'am Lucy’s orders echoed in the room. Derrick had specifically appointed her to cater for Lia for the wedding. She wanted it to be perfect. Servants trotted in and out carrying whatever she had requested. Lia sat on a chair before a mirror. The makeup woman worked on her face. Another one stood behind her offering the makeup lady the tools she needed. Yet another was lowered beside Lia prepping her dress. Sounds of footsteps went in and out of the room. Lia couldn't place any of it. The nervousness sliced through her stomach. She desperately craved to eat her nails. Just couldn't. It had been painted so beautifully she couldn't dare ruin such beauty and hard work. Asides that, ma'am Lucy would turn pale. Her stomach grumbled. Ma'am Lucy heard and hurried around. Worried eyes stared down at Lia

    WRITER'S POVMa'am Lucy was outside the door and in wait. As soon as Derrick walked out the wedding hall with Lia, she knew to come take her. “I'm sorry, my king. We should have prepared her more and made sure she was feeling alright,” she apologized. “It's fine. Just let her get some rest,” Derrick shrugged dismissively. He let go of Lia, ready to get back inside. But Lia grabbed his arm. “You promised to take me. And…besides the people wouldn't be expecting you to return quickly.” Lia fluttered her lashes coyly and wore an adorable smile Derrick narrowed his eyes down at her. His substitute Luna…no, his bait was getting bolder by the second. Right away he was supposed to reprimand her. But why did he think she was cute instead? Ma'am Lucy froze with shock at Lia's behavior before the king. She fell to her knees. “Forgive me, my king. We haven't taught her well. Since there was not much time to prepare her as Luna.”Derrick raised a hand. His lips curled slightly at the corn

    BLOOD MOON PACK “Rose you can't do this to me…” Carlos begged, feeling helpless. The discussion he had avoided was finally happening. For the past weeks, he'd noticed Rose's changes. Things she would usually not do, she started doing easily; missing his calls and not calling back, being too busy for him all of a sudden and sneaking away to take calls. He knew why she was acting this way, he knew it all but he'd decided to not bring it up. Because he was afraid of this very moment. “I'm sorry Carlos– I wished I didn't have to make a choice,” Rose said. “You don't have to! You only need to stay with me. Please, Rose…”“I wanted to! I wanted to…but—”As he tried to hold her, she dodged. “I'm sorry Carlos but I have chosen Kelly and I have rejected our bond. I hope you find your second chance mate.”Casting him one last pitiful glance she hurried away leaving a helpless Carlos. As much as Carlos wanted to chase after her, go on his knees and beg her until she accepted him back, he hel

    “What is the next step? His men are coming after me… they are searching all over the Pack for me…they will find me and kill me…”“Stop acting like a sissy!” Alpha Dante lashed out at the fidgeting reporter. He turned to Alpha Gregory and eyed him. He had told him to find a good reporter. Where did he find such a scaredy cat? “Look , Mr Graven, you need to calm down and let me think–”Mr Graven spun, eyes red with fury. “I can't hide in your house forever! The king has eyes everywhere. He can find me here and kill me! You are asking me to calm down? Because it isn't your bloody name that is plastered all over the newspaper as a fucking wanted man!”“I said shut your mouth!” Alpha Dante snarled. “Don't ask me to keep calm! Okay fine….You know what. I'm done with this and you both. You are the ones at a disadvantage now. I can go to the king and tell him everything you have done. You paid that woman to lead the protest and you made me write that report!” Graven sneered, his red shot e

    LIA'S POV Why would Derrick kiss me? In front of the women at that! Fine, he was trying to make a point and It was only on my forehead but still… he could have chosen to do anything else but kiss. And he'd done it so naturally that the women were completely fooled! I was nothing but a bait until he caught whoever he wanted to catch and found Laura. And yes, this wasn't supposed to make me panic but since I returned from the unexpected meeting, it couldn't leave my head. I took off the extremely tight dress Clara had made me put on and let out a gasp. Well, he was an Alpha that would do anything to get what he wanted. I sighed as I recalled his words. I was nothing but his bait. I'm sure he would never feel differently about the kiss or anything. However, I feared my identity was on the verge of getting exposed. Those lycan women could have marked my face even though we were some height from them. But no matter what, Derrick must never find out I was not of lycan blood. Never. My

  • The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride    FOREHEAD KISS

    Standing in the balcony of the second floor of the building, Derrick looked down over the heads of the women. As much as he wanted, he couldn't get a good look at their faces. It was practically impossible considering the distance. But even if he were to be closer to them, it was almost impossible to detect his enemies amongst them–which was actually what he wanted more. He blamed Damian and Ethan for putting him up to this and wasting his precious time. The main mastermind he was seeking for was most likely not present. “Women of Harrow Wood! You want me to prove that the Luna is truly my wife and we are not having a fake marriage. Then so be it. To prove the sincerity of our marriage, I am declaring a week holiday for everyone. On the seventh day, we shall be having a celebration! Bring your families along!” “We want to know her identity! She is a murderer! She murdered Laura!” Someone screamed from the crowd. Derrick squinted at the screamer. He couldn't get a better view

    “Some people are incredible,” Jimmy muttered, shaking his head. “You mean some people are increasingly good with words,” Emily rephrased. “Mm-hm,” Jimmy mumbled and readjusted in his position. They were at the back of the thick crowd of women in the lycan king's house. The women's voices were booming as they waited for the king to come out and address them. “Are you sure we did the right thing following them to come here?” Emily whispered to him. “If we are to find Lia, we have to stay up to date with the happenings of the Pack. We will leave once we hear what the king says to them.” “That is if he will show up,” Emily mumbled back, stretching her head to catch a glimpse of the lycan king’s house. She thought the women were bold, storming into their lycan king's house to protest. All credit to the woman that convinced them. Although she had to involve her life in the process of convincing them. “Still…this is…bold…” she sighed, pressing back a spilling yawn. “This is t

    WRITER'S POV “Alpha Dante?” Alpha Gregory held the door, surprised. “What brings you to my abode?” “We are not supposed to meet today…” he added and looked past him expecting to see someone else. “We can no longer meet at our usual place. Derrick’s eyes are everywhere,” Alpha Dante uttered hastily as he let himself in. “Did something happen?” Alpha Gregory questioned signaling to one of his servants to bring them a drink. “You should be grateful to me,” Dante said and plopped down in the nearby seat. “We have been followed. Our meeting spot is no longer safe.” “I knew it. We would have been foolish to not expect it. I just didn't expect he would be moving this fast. But…how did you find out?” Alpha Dante looked up, a smirk playing at his lips. Derrick had always discovered any spy he placed in his house. What usually saved him was the oat he always made the men take. They always swear to rather bite their tongue to death than to ever reveal his name. Of course he always

    WRITER'S POV Derrick stood to his feet and walked to the window for the umpteenth time that morning. He stared out briefly down at the building next to his office and it was still as quiet and uneventful as the first time he had checked. Beta Damian strutted inside. “Are you worried? Why don't you go down and see for yourself if you are so worried,” he spoke, startling Derrick who immediately slung his hand into his pocket and shifted from the window. “Worried? Why would I be?” Derrick scoffed, resuming his poison on his seat. He steepled his fingers on the desk and tapped. It wasn't that he was worried. It was just that going over his words again made him realize how harsh he must have sounded. He had tried to convince himself that it wasn't really that bad. And fact remained, he had said worse words than those to others and didn't bulge about it. Why was he suddenly worried about his words hurting a woman who was nothing more than his bait. Damian chuckled. Of course he wa

As usual her strides are so fast I was struggling to keep up. Surprising how little I had heard of Derrick's father but so much about his mother. I hadn't even seen his face ever since I entered the Pack and no one ever spoke of him. It was as if there was an unwritten rule to never bring him up. “The king will pick you up from here. Don't move an inch.” “What…weren't we supposed to go together…” Ma'am Lucy was already trotting away while I was still complaining. I groaned in frustration dreading another long weary minutes in the same space with my cruel captor. Seconds later and he showed up. He stopped and scanned

    “My Alpha, Beta Tom has arrived,” one of the servants in Alpha Blake's house announced. “Alright send him into the reception room.”Alpha Blake starred a bit longer at the old picture. Sighing, he carefully laid it back in the old wooden box and pushed it back under his bed. Then he made it to the reception room.When Beta Tom saw him walk in, he stood up. “My Alpha, is everything alright? When I got your urgent message I was deeply worried and had to come at once.”Alpha Blake nodded with a small smile. Having Tom Carlos as his Beta lessened his worries. Asides the fact that he was deeply respectful, he was always there whenever he was called upon. sometimes Alpha Blake thought he was being too respectful especially as they were friends. “Yes. Thank you for coming.” He motioned him to sit. Alpha Blake let out a heave as he settled into the sofa. Beta Tom squinted at him. “You look troubled my Alpha.
