The Lycan King’s Claim Lunar Eclipse
The moon goddess seemed to be absent from the heavens tonight, as what the wolves believed. All members of the Virgo, the women and the children were kept safe inside the roundhouse while the men were tasked to guard the roundhouse from outside. Damon, Brayden, Norton, Asher and Anthony were part of the frontliners to guard the roundhouse from the moment the eclipse happens until it subsides, which could take an entire night. Brayden, among the five of them, was the one doing the adjustments with how he talks and approaches the others but at least he’s trying.“Harper’s in the room. She said she didn’t want to spend the entire night talking to women she doesn’t even like. I didn’t force her anymore. Hector’s with her, she’ll be fine even with no one to talk to.” – Damon shared when Asher asked why he haven’t seen her inside the roundhouse“She’s always the headstrong one. You don’t need to worry about her. She can even fight for herself.” – Brayden added, which didn’t exactly win eve

Alora smirked as she saw the roundhouse from the distance. After all the days, she finally found the place described in the letter by Damon. The Virgo. It looked like a tribe: a traditional one. However, she knew there are more wolves inside the roundhouse than a mere tribe or pack. Due to its size, it can surely cater more than a hundred people. Now that she’s looking at it directly, in a careful distance, she knew she couldn’t be farther from the truth. She’s seeing torches and people roaming around the entrance. She can see the shadows of the people inside, the noise that leaks out from the windows. She knows why too. The moon above her was in eclipse and she can feel its effect on her body like gravity pushing her down helplessly. Alora knewbetter than to attack tonight. But at least, she already knewwhere and what the Virgo looked like. On another night, she can ask help from Alpha Draco. She has the place and the information; he only needs to extend a hand. It wouldn’t be tha

Alora gasped, didn’t expect that there’s someone behind her observing her move. “How long have you been watching there?” – she asked the mysterious woman“Since I saw you sneak into my room. That’s my scarf you’re wearing. I need it back.”Alora gulped and shoot another glance at the room where Brayden and Harper entered into. She can’t lose the scarf. There are six people in the place that could identify her. with these many people seeing her as one of the enemies, she’s sure she can’t escape safely. “Please… let me borrow it. I promise to give it back before the night ends.”The mysterious woman stepped into the light. It was Eva, looking at Alora from head to foot, curious and dying to knowthe reason why this woman’s lingering at dark places, peaking at rooms. Or rather, that one specific room of Harper. Eva walked closer to Alora, circling her like a predator to a prey. If only it wasn’t the night of the lunar eclipse, she could smell her scent. She’ll know from which pack this

Brayden was confused on why Harper had to lie. So, what if they spent some time together in her room playing board games? Why does it have to be hidden from Damon?Alora heard it too and smirked. They both waited until the noise ceased and it’s no safe to get out. Brayden though, kept the door locked. “Are you out of your mind? What are you doing here? Are you with someone?”The questions shot like bullets, one after another. Alora shook her head. “I only came alone. I haven’t told the Great Alpha yet. I want to rescue you on my own.”If to Alora this sounded heroic, it only sounded like a futile risk to Brayden.“I didn’t need you to be here. As you can see, I’m not in harm.”“You’re in the premises of the enemy. Everyone here sees the wolves from the Red Blood pack as their enemies. Especially you! You’re Alpha Draco’s son!” Alora raised her voice for emphasis. After all the sacrifices she did to be here in Brayden’s aid, the least he could do is be grateful. He didn’t need to b
Last Updated : 2023-08-06The Lycan King’s Claim The Break of Dawn
The morning came, and the moon has now rested at the foot of the horizon, making way for the golden strobes of sunlight. Most of the Virgo wolves have spent overnight trying to be awake, prayers up to the moon goddess, fingers crossed that no one would come and attack them. Even when there’s one, the men at the front door of the roundhouse would be tasked to protect them… and the women and children knew they’re safe. Alora blended in with the crowd easily, hyper aware of the stares she gets from the women from Eva’s group. She could tell them apart from the rest. They’re the only ones who don’t have a child or a baby cradled on their arms. They’re the single ones, the ones not yet burdened by the role of motherhood. By the break of dawn, Brayden came back to check on her. He sat beside her and talked in whispers so as not to attract any attention from others. However, it didn’t work pretty well. He’s Brayden Lucas, the Great Beta of the Red Blood pack, it would be impossible to tak

Alora gave Brayden one last look and a kiss on the cheek, which he didn’t expect. He subconsciously looked at the gate of the roundhouse, in case Harper saw it. She didn’t. If she did, would he really think it matters? Did he really think she would mind?The voices in his head were louder on his doubts this time. But they all sounded valid.“I’ll see you soon then, Brayden. My Beta.”Alora kept her hand at Brayden’s cheek. A tender showing of her devotion to him. “I won’t forget this favor I asked from you, Alora. Thank you for your help. I’ll contact you as soon as I can. Send me a message when you already reached the camp.” – he said and just right then, they almost reached the front door of the roundhouse.And they separated ways.“Hey, Damon. I got a question for you.” – Brayden said, getting Damon’s attention. Not only his. Also with the rest of their friends. Norton was taking a nap on a long flat stone below the tree and Asher didn’t feel the need to disturb his peaceful slum

Harper squinted her eyes. That’s one thing about her: she knows it when people (or in this case, wolves) lie. It’s easy to tell from the movement of their eyes to the way they stumble to think of an excuse. It’s amusing to observe sometimes, really. But it’s too easy.“No one.” – Brayden said and Harper rolled her eyes. He still hasn’t given up. He’s already caught. “You can’t fool me, Brayden. I already know you’re lying. Stop trying to cover something. Whose is it, anyway?”The million-dollar question. The easiest but the hardest one to answer at the moment. Brayden folded the scarf and placed it on his left shoulder. He wore it like a badge or an insignia of bravery. “Just drop it, Harp.” – he said and walked past Harper. Harper had no intention to “drop it” or whatever. Instead, she pulled the scarf from his shoulder and smelled it. Brayden tried grabbing it back, but it’s too late. The scarf was already in Harper’s possession. She brought it closer to her nose and smelled i

Alora was escorted by two strong men when she arrived at the camp gate. Unlike before, as she remembered it, there are minute changes that has been done on the camp. The gate and most of the walls of the area has been painted with black, white and red graffiti. She remembered those to be neat and clean before. But now, it looked messy and disorganized. “Do you really need to hold me this way? I know where the common room is.” – she said, as the two men are holding her arms too tight. She’s sure that somehow, those grips had caused bruise on her fair skin. “Alpha Draco told us to bring you there this way, Miss.”Alora cursed under breath. It hurts. The way they handle her hurts. But then, she’s feeble compared to the two men. Their strength are incomparable and abstract. She gave up her struggle. She accepted her defeat and composed herself. Any minute now, she has to talk to the Great Alpha to justify her absence. For two weeks, she didn’t inform anyone in the camp of her whereabou

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
