The Lycan King’s Claim Lost Cause
“Harper?”Brayden poked her by the shoulder. Harper slowly opened her eyes, rubbed them with her knuckles and looked around, lost in thought. She must have forgotten why they’re here.“Brayden? Where’s Damon?”That’s the first thing she thought after waking up? Brayden thought. Only that he cannot ask her that. It simply sounded wrong to do so.“He’s in the roundhouse, I guess.” – Brayden said and cleared his throat.Harper finally sat up, making the blanket fall off her shoulders. It’s already morning outside and her mind’s stuck on the last memory of her entering the cavern with Brayden. She remembered the doubt in her mind and the refusal she should have said. But what would she do with regrets now that it’s already morning and the Great Beta’s only inches away from her?“Hector!” – Harper suddenly remembered that she’s left her own son to a nursemaid back at the pack. She has left him to the mercy and care of s stranger. The guilt suddenly ate at her system but there’s nothing s
The Lycan King’s Claim Saddening
Harper and Brayden paused by the door of the conjoined rooms. Harper’s on the edge of crying again, knowing that it is up to her and Brayden to break the news to Asher. They have no update on the outcome of the first leg of the war yet, but be it good or bad, it’s still hard to tell someone their sister’s no longer with the rest of them. “Ready in three.” – said Brayden and sighed. That gave Harper a little console that she’s not the only one finding this hard to do and at least, she’s not doing this on her own. “One…”“Two…”Harper closed her eyes before the counting reached three and when it did, she immediately snapped them open. The door opened slowly and everyone inside was resting on their individual rooms. The only persons they saw were Damon helping Hector fall asleep.“Hector!” – Harper rushed inside to get hold of her son. Finally, her worries about his safety comes to an end. He’s here, alive and well.“Finally, you’re here, the two of you.” – Damon said and tapped Brayde
The Lycan King’s Claim Dealing with the Loss
The rest who are inside the rooms were all shocked about the news, however, it was Asher who got it bad.“Aren’t we supposed to chase him? Just check on him or something?” – Harper saidDamon nodded and let go of his tug on Harper’s arm. She’s not crying anymore, perhaps the truth of the grief has already settled in her system. Or maybe, after all, the thought of losing Alora has finally sounded bearable. Can someone really bear with the loss?“I should go after him.” – Norton said and got out of the room too.Brayden sighed and leaned in on the back of the door. He has said it. The dreadful news. He has let it out of his system. But it didn’t feel good. That’s the double-edged effect of delivering bad news: the relief that comes after and the guilt for being the one responsible for bringing such bad news to others. It didn’t feel right at all.“Harper, you should rest.” – Brayden said to her, just loud enough for only the two of them to hearAnthony got out of the room and said he’
The Lycan King’s Claim The Background
“I DON’T CARE! THEN GET ME MORE SOLDIERS!”The whole camp was shaken when Alpha Draco lost his cool at his adviser, Elias. It has only been one night of war and yet, he felt like he has lost half of his men already. He has lost the wolves, and half of his special ones. “Most of our men are still wounded, Great Alpha. I don’t think attacking again tonight would be a great idea.” – said Elias, trying his best not to stutter.Elias knew he’s only speaking the truth. The men are indeed still hurt. As he and the Great Alpha talk in the common room, the witches are busy treating the men in the infirmary. In his head, he’s trying to be rational on where can he get more wolves for their side. He has no idea. Basically, there’s no one else he can tap in the camp.“THEN FIND ME MORE!”Elias tried to understand his alpha. Surely, his reaction’s only a product of the lost lives they had. There’s no reason to take it personally.“I’ll try, Great Alpha. I’ll be back as soon as I can.”The Great Al
The Lycan King’s Claim Safety on the Line
At 5:36 in the evening, just when the sun bids its goodbye to its last rays of sunshine, Marion’s team stood outside the roundhouse with their weapons either on hand or just near their grasp.Harper left Hector to the nursemaid again, and this time, she left her there with more trust than the night before. Damon and Brayden stood right next to each other. Asher’s right beside Damon and Anthony was not with them. He has checked on Marion’s kids at the back. Norton was beside Asher, asking him about the difference between a lance and a spear. Then, the rays of the sun turned darker over time. By quarter to 6 pm, the sky already had the hint of gray and black shades. “Do you think the moon would shine tonight as last night’s?” – Brayden asked his older brother.Damon shrugged. Last night’s assistance of the moon goddess was indeed useful and hopefully it would be the same this time. If it’s not, then they have no choice but to fight with the help of torches and faint moonlight for illu
The Lycan King’s Claim The Coming of the Drums
“Where are they going?”Harper asked Damon as soon as she saw Norton and the young men came out and be at one another’s back like a rollercoaster. “I don’t know. Perhaps to find Marion or something. I haven’t seen the Virgo Alpha too. Have you?”Harper shook her head. If the men haven’t found Marion, why would they ask her about it? It’s not like she and Marion has been pretty close to each other. They don’t even talk. After all this time, her mistrust with the man still lingers more than the help she’s received from him. “I guess that’s it. Never mind them. They know what they’re doing. Norton knows. As for us, lets’ keep our heads straight. Our enemy’s getting closer and closer every minute that passes.”To emphasize his point, Damon clutched the gun when he said that. On their right side is a small table with selected hand guns and rifles Damon got from the weaponry. “I don’t feel like getting into my werewolf form tonight. I’ll just use these weapons. I suggest you do the same
The Lycan King’s Claim Their Greatest Nemesis
“Tell me what it is.”Harper didn’t have the idea on what Damon wanted her to do. Aside from the fact that he wanted her close, there’s nothing else that has been said between them. Damon looked deeply into his mate’s eyes. From a different perspective, she looked back at him and see worry in his eyes. aside from the constant look of admiration, there’s something else in them that she cannot deny.“I need you to be safe. Be safe for me, for Hector… Please.”Harper licked her lips. It was different from what she anticipated. She thought that there’s something else, something specific that he wants her to do. But it was only general. It was vague.“Of course. You too. Please.”Damon nodded. with that, the enemies are now in archers’ length. “ARCHERS!”The row of archers raised their bows to the air, aiming to the Red Blood wolves running towards them. Same as the last night, some of the wolves preferred to fight them in all fours. In claws and bare teeth, their saliva falling on the
The Lycan King’s Claim Being Overpowered
With a loud howl from Brayden, Alpha Draco took that as a sign and lurched forward. Between the two of them, the sizes aren’t that far in comparison. Only that Alpha Draco’s werewolf form’s obviously rusted and old than the other.The scars, healed cuts and those which left a mark in his skin are still obvious from the naked eye. It cannot be denied that those things are imbedded in his system. It cannot be concealed. Compared to Brayden’s shiny and healthy black fur, the Great Alpha looked in a disadvantage. Until Brayden was proven wrong. As soon as their bodies clashed, Alpha Draco used his strong jaws to cling on Brayden’s shoulders. The younger wolf let out a painful groan as his flesh was torn. Drops of blood stained the impeccably clean floor of the roundhouse. Some of the members of the Virgo saw the fight between the two and stopped. They asked Brayden if he needs help, but Brayden didn’t give his go signal. Instead, the Virgo men watched and cheered. At the back of Brayde
