“So, you have a plan all this time? Do the boys know?” – Anthony askedDamon shook his head. He has thought about saying about it to them a lot of times. However, he thought it would be better if he won’t say anything about it yet. It’s premature, and he’d rather tell them about it when it’s already complete“So I’m the only one who has an idea?” “Yes, for now.”“Even Harper?” – Anthony found it hard to believe“Even Harper. I swear I’ll tell everything to everyone soon.” – Damon assuredAnthony nodded. It’s not like he doesn’t trust him. It’s only a question of knowing when it will be. It would be a big news to the boys and Harper. Still, he chose to understand. That’s Damon anyway. Since then, he knows what’s best for the group.“I’ll go back to my room, now. Just keep it to yourself for now. We don’t want any suspicions from the Virgo.”Anthony grinned and nodded. There’s nothing that excites him but a good conspiracy. Damon stood up and walked towards their room. He raised his l

Brayden has been hurting in every move. He hates it that even the slightest movement equates to a straining pain. He cannot move freely, nor can he have the freedom to stand. “How long do I have to endure this, miss?” – he asked one of the witches who just entered the door“Until your flesh is fully healed, sir.”One of the nurses brought him food. He hasn’t seen what was happening outside of the room yet. Last night, he heard loud noises from the roundhouse, which he really wanted to check. However, the nurse was pretty clear with their instructions that he cannot get out of the room unless he’s fully healed. To emphasize that, a restricting spell was cast on him. Each time he tries to sit up from the bed, he immediately falls down flat in the mattress. “When will that be? this already feels like forever!” – Brayden shouted“Hopefully, it will be by tomorrow or the next day.” – the nurse with the food said. The older nurse only stood by the door as the younger one placed the food

The second initiation rite was scheduled the next night and Anthony was back to his anxious mode. He cannot stop from tagging along with Asher and Norton. He didn’t want to be left alone and the boys were always pestered with a lot of questions pertaining to the upcoming rites. “Come on guys. I’m sure you heard something about it.” – Anthony asked as they were sharpening knives at the training grounds. “We haven’t. For the nth time, I’d like to say that none knows what it is. If you’re really mad about knowing it, you should ask his sons. If you can. Everyone knows they don’t talk to anyone but their father.” – said Asher“The two young boys? What’s their age anyway? Are they even 15 years old?”Both of the boys shrugged. Anthony kept that option open. Anything that will work on his advantage. “Do you guys have any idea on where to find these kids?” – he askedAsher stopped what he was doing, He was kidding when he suggested that. He knows the kids are involved with the planning of

Marion’s sons were both shy, obviously they haven’t talked much to anyone. The younger child, Jay, went back to the table to finish making the cocoa drink. Neil followed and Anthony occupied the vacant seat as motioned by Marion. “I like mine with milk.” – Neil said to his older brother. “Okay, then. Here, you add some.”Jay gave his younger brother the powdered milk. Marion was watching his sons and then, when he looked at his wristwatch, he looked like he realized he’s late for something.“Oh, shoot. I have to go to the roundhouse. Would you guys be okay here? Anthony, do you want to stay or would you come with me? I have a close-door meeting with Damon.”Secretly, this made Anthony happy. Just when he thought the option of appealing on Marion’s sons’ favor appears to be a dead end, a door opens for the opportunity. “I’ll stay here for a bit, dear Alpha. I have to finish the cocoa anyway. Don’t worry, I’ll leave as soon as I’m done.”Marion smiled.“No, I’d rather appreciate it i

“I don’t think we’re allowed to disclose such information, sir.” – Jay saidDeep down, Anthony was thinking of something else. A manipulation tactic. He already got their interest by offering his help with their trainings. What he needed now is to fan that out so that it would be effective. “I know… but he doesn’t need to know, does he?” – Anthony saidJay and Neil looked at each other nervously. “Go on. You two can talk about it on your own. I’ll be waiting in the living room’s couch. But please, let’s help one another. You help me with this and I’ll help you with the trainings. That way, we would be reciprocally helpful.” – Anthony said and placed the empty mug on the tableAs he turned his back on the young children, he crossed his fingers and uttered a prayer to the moon goddess. Damon and the rest may be right, that he can survive the next challenges. However, their trust and reliance on him made him doubt his own capabilities. What if he won’t? What if the next challenge woul

“Don’t stare at me like that, Harper. I don’t want to commit any felony.”Harper frowned. What was Brayden thinking? She was only surprised to hear what he said.“You’re still so full of yourself. I was only wondering whether the concrete fall knocked some sense into you. I didn’t expect you’ll say something like that.”“Tss…” – Brayden said and turned the other wayHarper wasn’t finished yet. She has a lot of accumulated words to say to him. All of this simply because she doesn’t have anyone else to say it to.“Go on. I’m listening.” – Brayden said.Harper almost smiled.“Thing is, I tried talking to him. I said I’m not comfortable with what he’s doing. I’m not in favor that our friends had to undergo these series of tasks first before they’re welcomed. I was immediately welcomed because I’m a woman and Hector did too. What difference does that make? I really don’t see the principle they’re practicing here. When I said all that, we only fell into a fight. In the end, Damon only assur

Harper shook her head, a part of her’s glad that the spotlight is no longer in her. “Come on, man. You don’t need to tell Harper about it.”Asher licked his lips and told Harper the opposite of what Anthony wanted. Instead of all his assurances of getting what he wanted, what Asher told Harper was the possible consequences of his actions.“I agree with Asher. How would you know they won’t turn the tables against you?”This got into Anthony’s temper. He had enough of people telling him or what or what not to do. Besides, he’s the one who’s fighting in the battle grounds the next night, not his friends. They could only watch from the benches, with no harm or risk on their lives. After all, it’s going to be him alone. They can’t help him with what’s he’s going to face.“Just stop, okay? I got this.” – Anthony said and left the two He locked himself in his room and thought of what he’s supposed to do. He’s not a fan of the waters and never has he tried fighting in one. Not just one pers

How many times does he have to feel all these drum rolls on his chest? Is there really an assurance that the last challenge will be the last? Will the third and last challenge end his constant struggles? What if it won’t? What if it only makes way for something worse?Anthony shook his head, as if to do so would make the thoughts go away. He cannot be thinking of such things when he needed his focus the most. As Marion was speaking about bravery and pride of being a Virgo, he couldn’t listen to the words carefully. He can only hear the sounds but couldn’t cater it with comprehension.“Sir, you have to get in the lake now.” a lady who works as an assistant of the event whispered on his ears“Now?”She nodded. Turns out, Marion has finished what he was telling everyone. As of the moment, the spotlight was on Anthony, and everyone was looking at him with either fear or excitement in their eyes. He gulped, being the center of attention didn’t bother him. What did is the intensity of th

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
