The Lycan King’s Claim Out the Other Ear
Harper put down the phone with a thud. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean that.”Damon crossed his arms and frowned. He has noticed it since the night before. There was something different about the wolf queen. She’s acting up on something. For what reason, anyway? He has no clue.“It’s fine. Are you sure everything’s okay? You seem… stressed.”Harper was avoiding Damon’s eyes. She couldn’t help but regret her choices that night when she followed him. She let her fear took over her. If she weren’t a coward, she already knows what was behind the door that night. The howl of the wolf she heard from a distance was from Damon looking for her. Turns out one of the soldiers noticed she was gone from the common room. As soon as their king arrived, the soldier reported her disappearance. When Harper arrived the camp again, she couldn’t think quick. What she blurted out was that she tried to escape to warn Shahila about the black wolves. Shockingly, Damon bought it. Or so she thought. Damon knew sh

Unlike most nights, this one didn’t scare Harper at all. Her heart was beating thrice the normal, enthusiasm feeling her system in the most unexpected way. The feeling of both excitement and worry filling her heart, she walked the woods with Damon’s cloak covering her head.She promised herself to be careful and alert. Any slight movement may be a sign of danger. It’s what she was thinking at the top of her head. When she was in the middle of the woods, with only a small torchlight to navigate her path and retrace her memories of where Damon was the night before, she only has herself to rely on. At most cases, that was enough.It was after 8 minutes that she saw the cabin in a distance. It was dark and lonely and grim. She cannot bear to be here any longer than an hour. She then thought of her Grandma having to deal with such solitude. And for how long?For weeks, that is. Damon didn’t give her the exact time when her Grandma was placed here. She can only guess it was too long. Given

Damon woke up earlier than usual the next morning. He’s certain he dreamed of something, but couldn’t remember what it was. He sat up and rubbed his eyes. It was 10 am now, he overslept for the first time in very long years. As soon as Harper left his room last night, he laid down and sleep visited him like an old friend. The next minute he was in deep slumber, awakened in a different world in his dreams which now he can’t remember. He stretched his hands and neck as he opened the window. Indeed, it was broad daylight outside. The men of the camp just arrived from the forest gathering woods for cooking. The women were drying clothes under the heat of the sun. He scanned around looking for his queen but she was nowhere in sight.After a quick wash of his face, he went out to the camp grounds. Most of the white wolves greeted him. Those who were wounded from the past attack has now recovered. He was pleased to see that most of the damages from that last unfortunate event’s starting to

Damon couldn’t wait to deliver the good news. He climbed down the common room and approached Harper right after they were done hanging the clothes. He was greeted with the women, who giggled and smiled by the attention he has given them. Though it wasn’t for them directly. “So, how did it go, my king?” – Harper asked, pertaining to the talk Damon had with Anthony. She clearly had no idea it was about her. “It went well. Are you done here?”Harper took a quick glance at the clothes dripping from the clothes line. She nodded at him.Damon guided her back to the common room where the cleaning ladies were wiping each of the chairs and realized they’re not yet ready for guests. Again, he invited her to his room. There, they both sat down. Harper was puzzled on what this could be about. “O…okay. Is there something going on here?” – Harper started. Behind him, she looked at the cloak. It was still at the same place she placed it. Phew. Damon sat down on his seat and played with the fold

Back at the white wolves’ camp, Harper spent the day with only counting the remaining hours before 11 in the evening. It was the time promised to her by Damon.On the other hand, Damon got his hands full with the tasks he needed to complete for the camp. He was at the training grounds, at the dungeons, at the infirmary and everywhere he felt his presence was needed.It was 7:30 pm when they both met at the common room to have dinner with the selected few. The others are free to get food and eat at the tables at the side. Only the lycan king, his queen and the other known names are allowed to be at the long center table with servers and extra cutleries. Now with Shahila exiled, there was an empty seat staring back at Harper every meal. “Don’t you think we should remove that seat, my king?” – Harper said, staring at the empty in front of her.“No need. It will only be filled up one day. By anyone, really.”Harper gulped. Just that it reminds her of Shahila and all the lies she’s told b

As soon as their emotions calmed down and the long hug quenched their misery for each other, the two women let go and sat on the side of the bed. “This is such a surprise. I thought you won’t be back for at least a week.”“I thought so, too. Thankfully, King Damon changed his mind.”Laura smiled at Damon. She was right about him. He can be trusted and he also wanted the best for Harper. The kind he could entrust her granddaughter with.Damon gave them a soft smile. He was enjoying the sight right in front of him.“Do you need privacy?” – Damon asked“No, please. Just stay.”Harper was looking at him differently. It wasn’t how she had been looking at him before. Her eyes were sparkling with joy and something else… he recognized it at first glance but didn’t want to say what it is. “Okay. I’ll just stay here in the side.”Harper nodded. She saw how dark it was outside so she wouldn’t risk him there. Though all she really wanted that night was to talk to her grandma. She guesses she ca

Damon fetched Harper the next morning from her room. The door was ajar so he invited himself in. She was caught by surprise by his sudden entry. “King Damon! Were you standing there long?” – Harper askedDamon cleared his throat. What was he thinking? Of course he should’ve knocked.“I just came in… Sorry, I should’ve knocked.”Harper frowned. Was he okay? Why wasn’t he thinking straight?“Well… maybe next time.” – Harper said and grinned. Good thing was that when he entered, she was already done changing clothes. What he witnessed was the safe scene of her combing her hair in front of the mirror. “Is there something you need, my king?” She couldn’t get why he’s here in her room this early. “None. Why?”Harper bit her lips. There was really something unusual about him today. For a moment, she worried he might’ve heard the conversation she had with Laura in the cabin. But that’s impossible.Right?She cleared her throat and just to be sure, she got up and went to her closet. She

Damon has something else in mind. It was a surprise.“Do you know somewhere here?” – A smirk crossed his lips. Exactly.Damon cocked his head to the side, signaling Harper to follow him. Hesitantly, she did. Thankfully, they didn’t tread through the cornfield. There was a clear path nearby, surrounded with fruitless apple trees. Perhaps it wasn’t its harvest season.Good thing was that it was a cloudy day. The sun’s nowhere to be found as it was hidden behind thick clouds. “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you exactly where we’re going. It’s some kind of a secret. This place is something only me and my dad know. Even the pack doesn’t know this place. I intend to keep it that way.”Harper raised her brows. Wow. It was the first time he mentioned something about his father. She heard about him, though. Beta Simon. It was written in history books, but not in the correct manner she knows now. Perhaps because the historian’s Alpha Draco’s scribe, evidencing his manifest partiality. It’s kind of s

The Lycan King’s Claim Love in the Middle of War
“Alpha Draco requests your presence, sir.”The messenger talked in a slow fashion, careful that the Virgo Alpha would hear it properly. Marion just finished settling on an old room inside the common room. It looked like it belonged to a royal she-wolf, based on the expensive paintings on the wall and the hand-sewn dresses inside the closet. “Tell him I’ll be there shortly.”“He said it’s urgent, sir.”Marion nodded. There’s no excuses with the Great Alpha. Besides, he’s not in his territory. He’s at the Red Blood’s, the first time he got out of the roundhouse and housed in a different setting actually. The messenger left the door open. Marion put down the third pillow case he packed with him and followed the former to the main room of the common room. Inside, Alpha Draco was waiting. He’s sipping jasmine tea from a small teacup. A lady in waiting was at his side, holding the kettle by its handle. With a plain breakable plate placed under it.“You called for me, Great Alpha?”He lo
The Lycan King’s Claim The Last War
“I… I don’t understand. What do you mean, officer?”Harper was biting the edges of her nails in anxious anticipation. Surely, there’s nothing good that will come out from the end of this conversation. To mention the word “victim” mid-sentence doesn’t constitute good news. “You have no idea, do you?”Harper shook her head… then realized that the person she’s talking to is on the other end of the line. So, her nodding of head is not counted as a response.“I have no idea of what this is about. Please, just-“Harper couldn’t finish her sentence. She’s not even sure if she wants to. what has been unfolded before her eyes the entire day are facts - quickly given facts that either surprise her or catch her in the moment. And these facts aren’t even good news at all. “I’m sorry, miss. I didn’t think you are clueless about what happened in this house. It’s all over the news this past week.”What is?, she thought. But then, it’s Mrs. Keevah’s house. There’s no one else in the house that cou
The Lycan King’s Claim Finally, the Truth
In front of them were the men, the woman and the little baby that they all hated: the ones they denominated as “rebels”. They were on the front of Marion and Alpha Draco.“We meet again…” – said Damon.Harper and the rest of the group stood behind their alpha. The men were carrying their own choice of weapons, their own poison against the enemy. They stood gleaming at the site of fresh dead bodies on the floor. Proudly. The look on Alpha Draco’s face says it all. He wanted the war to be over. He wanted the war to begin as soon as it can. Right in this moment. Right in this spot. “Finally… I’m tired of chasing after your tail, Damon. You and Brayden can come here and let’s finish this once and for all. I’m tired of chasing and of canceling this to another schedule.”Damon licked his chapped lips. He has the same ideas. He didn’t come here to visit his father. He didn’t come here for peace. None of them believes in peace anymore. “I cannot agree more. Later, then. Once and for all.
The Lycan King’s Claim Surprise, Surprise
Just when the silence stretched between Harper and Brayden, Damon got up from his sleep and pulled Harper closer from the waist.Brayden’s eyes followed where Damon’s hands were and gulped. In a moment, he turned to the other side and tried to forget what he has seen. He managed to turn and keep his eyes and body that way.“You’re up early…” – muttered Damon with a raspy voice.“Yeah… my body clock’s messed up these days.” – replied HarperThat was a lie. Her body clock has nothing to do with it. It’s always her thoughts that keep on saying something to her. It feeds her negative ones instead of empowering her to think of solutions. And of course, the place and the ambience did help with the thoughts. It even made the way for it. It even made her feel worse.“Is that because of the war?”“No, something else.”Harper looked at the ring that’s still on her finger. If Anthony didn’t cause a distraction, would that scary man really cut off her finger? For the sake of proving a point?Are
The Lycan King’s Claim Savages
“Elias! You wouldn’t believe it!”Elias was cleaning the Great Alpha’s office when one of the guards from the office went to approach him. The guard was panting, his sweat rolling down his temples down to his neck and chest area. These droplets of sweat blurs his vision as they get past his eyes. “Do you have some news?” – Elias already has some expectations in his head. Hopefully, this is going to be good news. And hopefully, this is about the Great Alpha too. “Yes. you should go outside to see what’s up.”Elias nodded and then he got up to check if there’s really someone inside waiting for him. As it turned out, there’s a small crowd gathered outside over something. The question is, what’s the cause? Who is there that everyone seemed to be alarmed?“Is that…”The rest of the sentence got drowned in the air. the guard who brought Elias the news did not even let him finish. Whether it was excitement or worry, none of them can tell. However, it’s clear from the circumstances that the
The Lycan King’s Claim The New War
“…and here we are!”Everyone of them looked around, expecting a tavern or a cabin in the woods. None of those things were present. They were only surrounded by different trees and the dark moon above them. “Here?” – Anthony repeated, confused“Yes. Over there.”Brayden pointed on the cavern behind him. The boys walked closer to see what he’s pointing to. Then, Harper followed. She already knows what it is, she only got closer so the others won’t speculate. They cannot know she’s been here before. “This is where your safe place is?” – Asher asked with a huge question mark on his face.“Yes. This is what I meant by that.”They all didn’t look impressed. But then again, they’re hiding from Marion and their men. Anything safe that they can use will do. Just not to be caught. Anything. Just not that. They cannot be captured. Not this time. With Brayden leading them, they approached the mouth of the cave and got inside one by one. Among them, only Hector seemed to be enjoying the show.“H
The Lycan King’s Claim Exiled from the Virgo
“Goddamn it, you have a knife! I don’t care if you cut her finger!”Harper’s eyes widened when the huge man on her right got a knife from his back pockets. It’s a new one and surely sharpened just before they went to the roundhouse. The slight shin of the knife reflected the fear in her eyes. Damon’s hip still hurt with the hitting. He was held by four men, struggling as he throws all sort of cure words upon Marion.The man with the knife neared Harper and she stepped back, pulling the two men with her. They can’t be serious. They surely cannot just cut off her finger when Marion tells them to. Or she could be wrong. It’s also possible that these men are Marion’s puppets and would do anything he tells them to. No matter howbrutal or illogical that can be. “Damon, just go… “ – Harper’s vision blurred as the tears welled on the corner of her eyesDamon shook his head. No, he’s never going to leave her. Not this time. Not ever. The man pulled her hand as one man from the side brought
The Lycan King’s Claim Irremovable Ring
Damon kept on looking behind him. He hasn’t seen Harper yet, the entire time that they were inside. The last time he did was when they were sitting on the benches. Back when nothing seemed strange yet.Aside from that, he hasn’t seen her yet. The thickness of the crowd barred him from doing so. However, he’s sure she’s still inside. The slight gap on the door cannot hold a person going out yet. Whoever attempts may be squeezed. “Harper? Harper, where are you?!” – the question roared in the air. They were stuck in the main room with lots of the Virgo aiming at them. Not to mention that the great number of its members were clawing their throats to make their way out. Aside from that, there are two Virgo men who’s at his back as he shouted. They were trying to catch him and bind him with a thick rope. The rope was too thick and Damon noticed that if that will be used against him, he cannot break it with his fists. He cannot set himself free from those.“Harper!”And then, like a mira
The Lycan King’s Claim Above the Chaos
Hearts flutter in a negative manner. This isn’t good. It couldn’t be good.Harper sensed Damon’s tenseness. She looked at his brother and it’s clear that he’s also in his fight-or-flight mode. Any minute now, something is about to happen. She’s positive about that.“I’m sure I’m not the only one feeling there’s something odd here, right?” – Asher voiced out and Damon shushed himAsher nodded slowly. He has confirmed his statement. “… and it is the duty of the alpha to put his pack’s safety first. Even at the middle of the war, the safety of the pack shall not be compromised nor put aside. The safety of the pack has to be the paramount consideration. It is because of that that any threat, no matter how small or insignificant, needs to be gotten rid of.”- Marion ended his speech with a dangerous stare at the Red Blood pack’s direction. “This is not good. Come on. We have to get going.”“What’s going on?” – Norton saidHarper and Damon looked at each other’s eyes. They already understo
