The Lycan King’s Claim Clearing up Things
The silence before the actual talk was intolerable. After a quick bath, Asher sat down with Alora on one of the benches in the open grounds. She sat there with her eyes avoiding his and instead was more focused on the waving leaves caused by the wind. Asher, on the other hand, was shaving his face with a fine razor, a handheld mirror on his left hand. “I’m waiting, Alora.”Asher warned. They don’t have the entire day to sit down and wait until she finally say the words. Or admit them. What he’s sure as of the moment was that Harper was trying to tell him something. He couldn’t blame either of the girls. He has been gone too long that many things may have happened in his absence.Alora sighed, finally giving in to the idea that the only way out of this conversation is through. “Okay, I’ll tell you everything. But please, I need you to listen to me. No reaction, please. Just listen.”Asher shrugged.“You might have known this before but in case you don’t, I’ll say it… I’m in love wit

Time passed quickly and before Harper could realize it, her belly was swelling with the Lycan king’s heir. It has been suspiciously quiet from the white wolves, too. Half a year has passed and yet, the expected attack from the rival pack hasn’t happened. Harper would like to believe that this is an indication of peace and harmony. If only she hasn’t known Brayden all her life. That man knew no peace nor surrender. All she believes now is that this silence is not for a good cause. If she were to be honest, she knows this silence is only the calm before the storm. Damon has been very protective of her being that it’s become strict. She never left the camp. On the few times that she did, she was accompanied by at least two of their soldiers. However, those countable visits didn’t include her visit with her Grandma. Damon believes it was too risky now that she’s having the baby after a hundred days. She, being his queen and subordinate, only nodded in approval.The Denmark siblings were

As much as Alora tries to befriend the wolf queen again, she sure doesn’t want to miss any chance of furthering her original plans with her. Just because she has sworn to Asher that she’d be good, that doesn’t apply when he’s not around to observe what happens, does it?No, it doesn’t.Her nature of being jealous and wanting to be noticed by Brayden was still inside her, lurking, waiting for a perfect opportunity to present itself again. The ground was wet with drizzles of rain when she got out to follow Harper and Anthony. The soles of her sandals were accumulating mud in every step and she hated it more than the cold and the darkness. Every step was heavier than the last but she couldn’t risk stopping. To do so would mean losing her two moving targets.Anthony was the one leading the way, carrying a battery-powered torch. Alora looked around to see where they were, but can only see creepy shadows of trees and the crescent moon above her head. The lack of blowing wind made the exper
Last Updated : 2023-05-10The Lycan King’s Claim An Accomplice
After some more begging and doubtful assurances, Anthony made up his mind and succumbed to his queen’s wishes. He had no idea on what the king would say to him when he knows this but for some reason, he understood the queen. He has been a witness himself of the sad and long nights the queen had to endure because of her pregnancy. She couldn’t go wherever she wants, couldn’t even eat whatever she craved. Everything was delineated.“We’ll leave an hour before midnight, my queen. I’ll pick you up from your room. Don’t forget to wear the hoodie. The one you used before.”Harper’s eyes twinkled with the great news. Alas, she has an accomplice to actualize her plans!“Thank you, Anthony. I will forever look at this as an eternal debt.”She stood up and shook Anthony’s hand. After some more clarifications on their agreement, Anthony left the queen’s room and went back to his daily task. At the back of his mind was worry that somehow, someone from the camp may see them and tell the king. Bu

Fear was contagious. With her hand holding Grandma Laura, Harper felt like the fear she saw on the old woman’s eyes was also transferred to her system through the touch of their fingertips.“What do you want me to do, Grandma?” – Her voice was shaking“I know what I said is hard… but you must understand, it has to be. If you don’t get out of this situation, you cannot get out of it anymore. I don’t want to see you hurt.”Harper bit her lower lip. A habit she does when she’s trying her best not to cry. “It’s… it is too much Grandma. Why do I have to run away? Just because he’s the son of Alpha Draco doesn’t mean he would become exactly like him. It just doesn’t make sense.”“Doesn’t it?”Laura let go of her granddaughter’s hand. Being her guardian for the last 22 years, she could say she’s the one who knows her the most. She’s the one who’s seen her development through the years. By that, she has to say that this hesitance was only coming from one root: Harper’s in love with the Lycan
Last Updated : 2023-05-11The Lycan King’s Claim Where the Strange Path Leads
She’s never seen a night as dark as this. The trees appear like ghostly shadows over faint moonlight. The wind was nowhere, making the stillness create an eerie experience for someone who fears for her life. The pregnancy was making Harper move with difficulty and more care. She concealed her bump under the hood, with her back pack slipped on both her shoulders. It felt twice the struggle, but she’s determined to leave. Alora has gone back to the camp shortly after Harper left. She had to stop and got rid of the mud on her sandals’ soles because it’s making it extra heavy. That caused her delay. When she came back to the camp, Alora noticed that the light on the wolf queen’s room was on. From the windows, she peaked inside on whether Harper was still awake or not. What she saw was an open cabinet where the queen’s things were, only that this time, it’s empty. Then by that, she knew her plans were starting to unfold. Finally.“What are you doing here, miss Alora?”Or so she thought

Mrs. Keevah paid for the bottled water and a tissue-wrapped tuna sandwich at the counter. Harper was observing her every move while sitting on a chair not so far from the cashier. Her right hand was under her bosom, cradling the baby inside. So far, nothing suspicious has happened about this woman yet. She seems… well-meaning. It’s hard to think and believe that kindness still exists in this cruel world but maybe, this once, Harper met someone who has no ill intent towards her. Maybe.“Here. Eat up. They have the best tuna sandwiches here.” – she said and winkedHarper hesitated to pick up the sandwich. It was right there in front of her, right next to a chilled bottled water. “Thanks, Mrs. Keevah.”“Don’t mention it. I’m just glad to help.”Mrs. Keevah smiled. Harper noticed she was losing one canine. The woman sat across hers. Weirdly, she didn’t buy anything for herself and only observed Harper as she indulged on the sandwich.“You didn’t buy anything for yourself.”“Nah, it’s fi

Five minutes from now, Damon and Asher would reach the camp and the enthusiasm was getting ahead of the Lycan king. It has only been 24 hours but he longed to see the pregnant queen and kiss her belly. A tradition for him. “Thank you for keeping me company, Asher. I feel like I haven’t thanked you enough.”Asher was only two steps behind of the king, still trying to catch up mobile signal so he can notify Alora that they’re close to the camp. He was waving his phone all around, catching up any signal so he could send a message. He has been failing to find one since they entered the forest.“Don’t mention it my king. It’s what I came here for.”The king nodded. Finally, he saw the roofs of the houses of the camp, with the common room towering over the rest. A smiled flashed on his face. He brought some wild, glowing flowers from the Woodfawn as a present to the queen. She’s a fan of flowers and the rarity of this one would surely make her blush. “We’re almost there. Come on.”He quic

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
