The Lycan King’s Claim A Fit
“WHAT?!” That was the first reaction Brayden Lucas said over the phone when morning came and Shahila gave him a second phone call for the day. It was unexpected. That’s when he knew there was something serious about that subsequent one. Shahila had to move the phone away from her ears for a few inches. It wasn’t on speaker but Brayden’s loud voice amplified. “It was Damon who told me himself.” – he placed a palm on her forehead. He couldn’t believe it… or what’s more suited term would be… he doesn’t want to believe it.“How sure are you of this?”“I’m a hundred percent sure. Damon isn’t the kind to tell me lies or pretensions. He trusts me too much.” -Shahila said and bit her lower lip. A pang of guilt eroded over her, thinking of how easy it was for her to betray him behind his back. “I… wow, this is big news.”“I know…”“Thank you for telling me, Shahila. Don’t let them out of your sight. I’ll call you as soon as I thought of a plan.”Shahila ended the call.Brayden kept the pho

The night came and Alora was in shock to see the men gathered outside. They were lined in rows like disciplined soldiers and they were waiting for their leader. Brayden was nowhere in sight. But Alora’s certain it is his command that everyone was waiting to hear. For what? she’s clueless… again.“What’s going on? Where are they going?” – Alora asked. The man who passed her scratched his head and looked around. He was confused too. However, it’s clear he was thinking of whether or not he should tell Alora. If this is a secret mission or something like that, she wanted to know it more.“I don’t think I’m allowed to disclose-““Tell me and I’ll give you $50.”The man was easy to be bribed. He opened his right palm in front of Alora, asking for the promised amount. Alora rolled her eyes and reached for her purse. She got the bills from her wallet and paid to the man. The latter accepted it, checked the money’s amount and pocketed it. “Now tell me what you know.” – Alora insistedThe ma

Uneasiness crawled up her body like spiders. Harper couldn’t help but look at the camp’s entrance every minute. The voice inside her head kept telling her there will be someone to come. Someone who won’t bring good news to the camp, but only destruction. Harper’s almost sure this is a predilection, but Shahila showed no sign of believing her.“You’re making me dizzy, Harper. Stop turning your head every ten seconds.” – Shahila snapped.Harper bit her lower lip. It didn’t feel right to just lean back and relax. She was sure she didn’t feel agitated for nothing. “I’m sorry… But I couldn’t be sure unless Damon comes back unscathed.”Shahila laughed.“You really are a newbie. Damon haven’t lost a battle yet. If there comes one. Also, he’s coming to the city, blend in with the humans. If they’re someone who should be afraid of that setup. It will be the humans, not him.”Harper nodded, giving herself some benefit of the doubt. This is not something she’d love to be right about. She’d love

Brayden’s adrenaline filled him up with both enthusiasm and energy. He led the pack towards his rival camp. They were all running towards the entrance, which is now visible at the end of the path. Any minute now, he’ll get hold of his mate again. And to recover her for himself. “Come on, men!”He shouted and when they reached the entrance, the wolves inside saw them. They panicked, running from here and there. An alarm sounded and everyone got notified of their uninvited guests’ arrival. Inside the camp, there were a lot of screaming and shouting. Shahila looked at the entrance and exchanged nods with Brayden. As agreed, she will not be harmed. She can only act scared and terrified, but she will not be harmed by any of the men. “Miss Shahila, come! Follow me!” – one of her loyal servants said, reaching for her hand. Shahila looked at her right and heard the battle cries. They’re already here. One by one, the wolves transformed. Black ones wrestle with the white. Claws were out an

Damon was on his way home when he saw many cars and motorbikes parked at the foot of the forest. It was unusual, as the place he had chosen was more on the country side. Only a few men in the camp have their wheels and they were deposited someplace for safekeeping. He’s sure these vehicles don’t belong to his men. He checked them individually, looking for some insignia of its identity. The parked motorbikes have the small model, as oppose to the variety of cars. However, there’s one thing common to all of them. They were all marked with a seal. A familiar wolf crest.Blood moon.Black claw marks.He cursed when he realized what it was. Or rather, to whom the crest belongs to: The First Red Blood pack.Damon didn’t waste no time and jogged towards the woods. He knew every tree and path therein like the back of his hand. He didn’t need a map. All he could think about was the safety of the camp… and most of all, his queen. He met the alpha once, he can’t risk losing her again. He then

Damon managed to kick Brayden in the loins and he cocked his head to hit him. It worked. The black wolf lost his balance and rolled over to the side. This little time gave Damon the opportunity to use for his advantage. With one strong blow, he slashed his opponent’s chest with his claws, causing a stinging deep cut. It made Brayden cry for pain. “Give her to me and I will let you live.” – Damon saidDeep down, he didn’t want to let him go for the second time. He has done enough damage to test his mercy. However, he knew the law of the wolves. Given that his pack and Brayden’s came from one clan, he doesn’t want to drag everyone else with him. He did not want to cause more war than what’s already existing. Between the two of them, he chooses to be the bigger person. Brayden got up as a human. The cut on his bare chest now becoming more obvious and noticeable. He looked down at it and touched it with her fingertips. Fresh blood trickled from the cut and dropped to the ground. “Huh…

Shahila waited, her made up lie about what happened at her grasp. She already made sure there’s no lose ends in what she was about to say to the king. She even has an excuse on how the protective spell was removed and how the invaders entered the camp. She knew it was a bad thing, but she decided to name Aida as the traitor. It was the only excuse she can think of. That… or she turn herself in and be the one to be prosecuted instead. She can’t afford that now. Who is Aida, anyway? She’s just one of her servants. Well, she should serve. In whatever manner. The waiting took forever. As she sat on the common room’s steps, pretending to assist the wounded wolves to the infirmary so they can be treated, she couldn’t help but notice that the king hasn’t arrived yet. He also didn’t leave any message with anyone in the camp. She was starting to worry.“Hey, please help this man to the infirmary. Be careful with his arms, it’s fractured.” – she said to the person who just passed her side.

While they were traveling on a horse, all Harper can think about was Damon and the pitiful state he was in when they left him. She’s hoping that by now, people from the camp have already found him and placed him on a safer place. She hoped they were treating him now and most of all, she hoped they came in time. He was in a pretty bad shape. It hurts to even look at him. Hurts. It wasn’t easy to admit that to herself. Yet, Harper realized that she cares for him. Not just because he has saved her and claimed her as his mate. It was something else. Unlike with Brayden, she didn’t feel like a captive in the camp. She indeed felt valued and cared for. It made her realized she wanted to do the same thing to him. To make him feel seen, to make him feel heard.Funny how timing sucks. She was deprived of that opportunity now. In the meantime. Deep in her heart, she was hoping he would come and save her again… or better, this time, she saves herself.She wanted to check up on him so bad. Bad

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
