The Lycan King’s Claim The Moon Goddess
Harper noticed that the moon’s brighter tonight than the usual. Perhaps the moon goddess thought it’s only proper to make up for the other night of the eclipse. Perhaps that’s why the moon now’s on its full bloom, illuminating the premises of the Virgo with golden white light. At least, Harper doesn’t feel too pathetic at the moment. If the night’s as dark as usual, she would feel too low, thinking that on Damon’s hierarchy of priorities, her welfare’s the last one. She’s starting to get used to that idea. She ran to the forest, where she could cry and scream and howl and no one would be around to hear it. The soles of her feet stepping over the twigs, her mind’s divided on the thought of the next night. She imagined herself tied to a huge trunk of a tree in front of the entire Virgo community, with an apple on her head, with the sight of Anthony with his bows and arrows, waiting for it to hit. Just thinking of it makes her angry. The running got a little faster now as she heads t
The Lycan King’s Claim Object of Comparison
Harper didn’t mind the “pathetic” comment from Brayden. She’s already used to him calling him anything he wants without him meaning it. It’s like Brayden has a rich vocabulary for all the negative adjectives he could just throw at any given moment and he would be justified by saying it. Just that. It didn’t need to be personal or offensive.“Thank you. I think you’re done here now. You can go back inside.” – Harper said, using the shirt to wipe her wet neck and the back of her legsBrayden raised an eyebrow.“You didn’t tell me anything about why you’re out in the woods yet.”Harper continued wiping her body and this time, looked up at him to shake her head.“You’re pushy, you know that.”Brayden shrugged. So what?“I won’t leave until you tell me. Besides, none of these areas belong to you. You cannot order me to leave or go somewhere.”Harper knew Brayden’s right. She has given up. what harm would that cause if she tells him anyway? Tomorrow, everyone would know about the third tria
The Lycan King’s Claim Live Targets
The night of Anthony’s last trial came quickly as a flash. Harper still hasn’t talked to Damon, not even after the half-asleep apology he has given last night. She didn’t say something when he said that. Instead, she removed his hand from her waist and slept facing the other side. It’s the worse thing for Damon, to have an invisible icy wall between them, but he respects her choice. He knew he also have lapses and that it would take time for Harper to finally be okay with it. He decided to give her time, and that’s all he could do for now: respect her. “Harper?”She was looking at herself in the mirror. Her hair was tied up into a neat bun and secured with hair pins and hair net. It’s to keep it away from her face. She stared at the mirror on the person behind her. Norton looked awful. His face was unreadable, but fear was painted everywhere. “Hey… ““I’m trying not to worry, Harper. I don’t want Anthony to worry about us when we stand there. we can trust him, I have no doubt in t
The Lycan King’s Claim No Need to be Afraid
If only Harper could tell her heart to stop being so nervous at the moment, she will. Yet that’s not something she has some control over. Here, she could only stand in front of the whole Virgo, arms and legs tied individually, her back hurting from the hardwood placed at her back. On her left was Norton, his eyes closed, humming a song. To be honest, it’s not what she expected from him. She expected him to be worried, and scared, and regretful. But here, between the two of them, Norton’s the calmer one. “You seem calmer than I expected, I have to say.” – Harper mentioned and Norton stopped humming"It's all fake, Harp. I feel like I'm being skinned alive inside."Oh, Harper thought. It doesn’t show at all. Perhaps that’s the thing with exterior confidence. None could really tell if it’s just for show. That’s how dumb people sometimes are. “I hope this ends soon. I can’t keep still.” – Harper admitted and Norton looked surprised.Norton stared at her for too long. He opened his lips
The Lycan King’s Claim A Shot of Faith
Anthony readied the second arrow. The last one was too close to Harper’s right eye. His heart almost stopped when it hit the board.Come on, Anthony. You can do this. Don’t miss.The thing is, the small size of the apple atop Harper’s head was the hardest part of the test. Not to mention that it’s placed twenty-five meters away from where he’s standing. The second arrow ready to shoot, the sweat from his forehead rolled down her cheeks. He held the arrow’s nock and aimed at his target. Once again, he tried to focus not to injure. This time, he has to be extra careful, even more careful than the last one. He looked at the clock and it showed he only had 1:04 seconds. Two shots. One should be successful, the other one can either be a failure or a spare.Come on, Anthony. You can do this. Don’t miss.He stretched his hand backward, together with the arrow. It’s starting to strain but Anthony knows he can only let it go once he’s sure it’s going to hit the correct target. Harper gulped
The Lycan King’s Claim Start of Another Rebellion
Harper and Norton stayed in their rooms for the entirety of the next day. Norton has recovered faster than they’ve expected but Harper’s the one who’s affected by the challenge. She could not focus on her supposed rest because she kept on replaying the moment the arrow almost hurt her.“Are you hungry, Harp? Do you need anything?” – Asher offered. He asked from the other side of the closed doorHarper looked at the door.“I’ll get it myself later, Ash. Don’t worry about me.”The person on the other side of the door walked away. Asher respected that and left. Perhaps Norton would be hungry so he transferred to another door. One day after the trial, many of the Virgo wolves have been talking about the use of the live targets. It has never been done before and it’s only used now. Thus, explains everyone’s enthusiasm on seeing it last night. Brayden could hear these whispers and hated Marion and the Virgo way of initiation more. It’s not that necessary and if the purpose is only to creat
The Lycan King’s Claim Members of the Coup
Two weeks passed and Anthony already talked to Damon about his plans of creating a coup to overpower the present Alpha and replace it with Damon. They have been immersed to the culture of the Virgo too long now and they have to reimagine themselves in a different skin. The thing about being getting used to the new is that you tend to forget how comfortable and homey was the old. And even in the midst of being in the Virgo, that’s something Damon and his friends didn’t fail to remember and keep heart. They’re wolves of the red blood pack. No one can take that away from them. None ever can. Not even Marion.“If we don’t start with baby steps now, we will be stuck in this place for too long. Hector is growing up too, Damon. Do you want him to develop consciousness as a Virgo cub?” – Anthony said in a hushed voice. He and Damon were scotting over at the back of the roundhouse, deep in the forest.“Is that what Harper said? I’ve been worrying about her for how many weeks now already? Sinc
The Lycan King’s Claim By Felinity
Promising though, is different from visionary.In the former, there’s a potential for it to happen, in the latter, the leader knows how to make it possible. Here, as Brayden noticed, Damon has no clear plan. He only wanted to gather them one place and then deliver his last-minute thought speech.Brayden smirked at the back of the room. Harper saw it and shook her head. The Beta raised an eyebrow. It was only reaction, not really thought of but some involuntary (kind of) movement of muscles.“To make that happen, each of us has to invite one person from the Virgo now. Soon, when that becomes too easy, we’ll invite two, so on and so forth. The goal is to double our number and then we shall be stronger and more than the Virgo loyal servers.” – Damon said, emphasizing his every word with intense gazes across the roomBrayden raised a hand. “Yes, Brayden?”“I would like to emphasize that if we invite Virgo people in this coup, individually, that would maximize the chance and possibility o
