The Lycan King's Forbidden Fruit. A Meeting
[Diego’s POV]“Is this the place?” Giddeon asks, staring up at the large building in front of us. “Who knew that your princess wasn’t only the daughter of an alpha, but even a conglomerate princess?”I don’t bother responding to him as I continue to take in the building in front of me. With luck, Rosalie would be somewhere inside it. It was a bittersweet feeling knowing that I finally found her, but why did she stay gone for so long and work so hard to keep herself hidden?“Are we going to go in?” Giddeon asks, snapping me out of my head. “Or are you just going to stand here pining.”“Who the fuck is pining?” I growl, beginning to move. “Don’t speak such nonsense.”“Right.” He laughs, beginning to follow me. “I forgot that my dear friend is an emotionless bastard.”Rolling my eyes, I don’t bother countering his words as I push open the large glass doors in front of me and begin to stroll straight to the reception desk.When I arrive, the woman sitting behind it lets her dark eyes begi
Last Updated : 2024-05-30The Lycan King's Forbidden Fruit. He Found Me
[Diego’s POV]Rage rushes through me as Gil keeps his gaze calmly on me. Was this bastard being serious right now? He was actually threatening to ruin me if I were to find Rosalie. Well, he could try it.“I’ll accept your challenge.” I grin, getting to my feet. “Thank you for taking the time to see me.”“Leaving so soon?” Gil asks, leaning back in his seat. “When we were just starting to get to something interesting.”“Sorry, but I have important matters to take care of.” I respond. “I’ve already gotten all that I need.”“So you will stay away from Rosalie?”“Not a chance.” I chuckle. “Don’t you know that when someone tells me that I can’t do something, it just makes me want to do it even more?”Not bothering to say anything more, I start to move while Giddeon jumps up and follows me. It is only when we reach the elevator and are inside that he fixes his gaze on me.“What are you planning?” He asks. “Are you really going to go against Blue Moon?”I was. If Gil De’Evangeline thought th
Last Updated : 2024-05-31The Lycan King's Forbidden Fruit. Found
[Rosalie’s POV]I reach out and pull Geo against me, letting his pure presence calm my heart as my eyes dart around the area around me. Although I was certain he wouldn’t be hanging around here or that Gil would even allow that, I can’t stop the anxiety that is beginning to build in me.“Is everything alright, mommy?” Geo asks, pulling away to fix me with his eyes, which resemble Diego’s so much.“No.” I respond instantly.Straightening out, I reach out and take Geo’s hand while Helga watches us.“Thank you for bringing him here.” I say, giving a smile. “We’ll be heading home.”“Of course.” Helga responds. “But shouldn’t you visit the master first?”Frowning, I don’t miss the hint of insistence. Even if I was completely free from Diego all these years, I owed Gil and my extended family quite a bit. If it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t have made it this far or rebuilt my life after all the suffering I went through. I was forever indebted to them, not only for myself but also for my mother
Last Updated : 2024-06-01The Lycan King's Forbidden Fruit. An Irrational Decision
[Diego’s POV]I stare down at Rosalie, taking her in as the urge to reach out and grab her bubbles up in me. After five years, she looks almost the same, aside from being more rounded out and much more alive than she did back then. Her eyes, which are wide and unwavering, are exactly how I remember them, but there’s something in them that makes my heart ache.“How?” She asks quietly.How. Was she asking how I found her? Was she really that upset that we were back together after being apart for so fucking long?“Disappointed?” I ask slowly, my lips twitching into a frown. “Were you that hell bent on staying away from me forever?”As the words leave my lips, the pain that I’m feeling increases, and anger mixes in as well. Although I didn’t want to believe that she stayed away for so long by choice, every fucking thing in front of me was saying that she did.With each passing minute, I could feel my lycan stirring and, with him, the rage that I always feel bubbling in me.“Tell me!” I hi
Last Updated : 2024-06-05The Lycan King's Forbidden Fruit. Her Decision
[Rosalie’s POV]I watch in horror as Diego begins to move with Geo in tow.“No!” I gasp, understanding what he is planning. “STOP!”As the words leave my lips, I’m moving, attempting to rush in the direction that Diego has disappeared, but strong arms stop me.Gasping, I let out a snarl and whirl around to find Oscar, Gil’s beta, holding me in place.“Let go.” I hiss, trying to keep my temper in check. “NOW!”“I have orders from Alpha to keep you here.” Oscar counters. “He will retrieve the boy.”Gil would retrieve the boy… That was exactly what I was worried about. If he and Diego went up against one another, I knew it wouldn’t turn out well. At least if it were me to approach Diego, things wouldn’t end in blood shed.“Geo is my son!” I snap, beginning to fight against his arms. “As his mother, it is my responsibility!”“I’m sorry.” Oscar drawls in his monotone. “I am to follow Alpha’s orders.”Cursing inwardly, I listen to the sounds of shouting in Geo’s room.“STOP FUCKING AROUND!”

[Rosalie’s POV]Panic rushes through me as I try to determine whether or not the darkness was randomly possessing Rio and Oscar or if... No. I couldn’t think like that, not after everything Gil did for me.Shaking off my unease, I continue to move in hopes of shaking off the two that are diligently chasing me.As we move, those around us work to get out of the way, while others yell and pull out their phones. Luckily, this was an area that was populated only by wolves; otherwise, there would be a lot of trouble to clean up later.Gil, I think inwardly, deciding that was the thing to focus on right now. I needed to find him. I was certain that once I did, I would find Diego and Geo as well.Picking up my pace, I extend my senses until I feel Gil.Bursting forward, I head in the direction his energy is coming from at full speed until, finally, I see him.‘Gil!’ I call, hoping that he can hear me. ‘I need some help here!’As the words leave me, Gil’s gaze comes to rest on me, and when it

[Diego’s POV]A slow smirk begins to spread across my face as I watch Kate’s cheeks turn from pink to bright red due to just how pissed she is over what Geo has said.“You…” She whispers, her voice shaking. “What did you just say?”As she speaks, her gaze comes to rest on me, and I simply nod.“It’s as he said.” I respond, moving to stand beside Geo so I can lift him into my arms, which he allows since we are currently going against the same person. “This is my child.”“Your child.” Kate sputters, clearly in disbelief. “YOUR CHILD WITH WHO?”Remaining silent, I watch as the gears begin to turn in Kate’s head, and when her eyes widen with both shock and outrage, I know that she understands.“Hey,” Geo whispers while Kate continues to malfunction. “Who is this crazy grandma?”“Did you just call me a grandma?” Kate growls, her gaze narrowing. “I’ll fucking…”“You’ll do nothing.” I snarl, grabbing her hand as she raises it to hit Geo. “Who the hell do you think you are to touch my child?”
Last Updated : 2024-06-09The Lycan King's Forbidden Fruit. Her Next Move
[Rosalie’s POV]I reach down and pull Geo into my arms while Diego takes me in with an unreadable expression. However, when he opens his mouth in an attempt to say something in response to my words, Kate is leaping up and rushing toward me.“Don’t,” I warn, letting my aura explode from me so that it sends her skittering backward. “Don’t come any closer.”As I speak, her eyes grow wide, and outrage fills them, but I don’t care. I wasn’t the same woman from the past who continuously bowed down and let others walk all over her. Since having Geo, I knew that way of thinking and acting couldn’t continue. I now had a little life that was entrusted to me to protect, and I planned on doing that.“Whatever you plan on saying or doing, save it.” I continue, narrowing my gaze. “If you’re worried that I will barge in and ruin your perfect little family, you can save it. I have no intention of doing that. However, I would appreciate it if you could keep your man in line.”At my words, a growl of a

The Lycan King's Forbidden Fruit. His True Self
[Chanel’s POV]I stare on, watching as Anthrose and the rest of his group surge forward, attacking the guards who were just sneering at me, and I can’t help but laugh at the difference in their demeanors.“Cowards,” I spit, sitting up and snapping my thumbs back into place. “Acting all high and mighty until actual danger appears.”As I speak, I grab the chains that are holding my ankles and begin to pull while ignoring the pain that shoots through me. Fuck, they were strong, but I was stronger. Soon enough, they begin to crack and then break apart, allowing me to finally get up and move to Gil’s side.“Just hang in there a bit longer, alright?” I tell him, clutching his cuff and starting to fight with it. “Then we will get you out of here and…”“No!” Gil gasps before breaking into a coughing fit. “We can’t just leave!”Frowning, I take in his words, trying to make sense of what it is that he is saying, but I don’t get to question him further before pain shoots through me and my body a
The Lycan King's Forbidden Fruit. Rescue
[Anthrose’s POV]The next morning we move out the minute the warm sun begins to paint the ground that we sleep on. After a quick breakfast, we head out with me leading the way since I’m the only one who can get a feel for the location that we are searching for.Together, we silently move across the island while keeping our senses alert in case of a surprise attack. However, the expected never happens, and by the time we are close to our destination, I can’t help but feel like all of this is too easy, and by the tension I feel from my companions, I know that they’re feeling the same.“Up ahead,” Sam murmurs, coming to my side. “I can see it.”Nodding, I take in the shining figure that I’m certain is the temple, noting the dark aura that radiates around it. Even from here I could tell that the things residing within were something the normal wolf wouldn’t want to approach, but given what we were fighting for, I wasn’t going to let it stop me.“Prepare yourselves.” I announce, letting my
The Lycan King's Forbidden Fruit. A Location
[Anthrose’s POV]For the rest of the day, I search the island for a sign of where Chanel and Gil may be, but come up empty. And when my group can’t seem to move anymore, I have to call the search to a halt. However, that doesn’t mean that I don’t continue to keep my connection with the earth, searching while dinner is made.It’s a silent ordeal, as I’m certain that the entire group is feeling the weight of what is at hand and what we may encounter when we find the ones we are searching for. I could only assume that a fight was waiting for us, and it was because of that that I even agreed to res.Sighing, I close my eyes and let myself slip deeper into a trance, searching until I feel something press against my consciousness that snaps me to alertness as hope flares through me along with a longing that I’ve never felt before.‘Chanel,’ I whisper, not daring to truly believe that I’m feeling what I am. ‘Is that you?’For a moment, all I’m met with is silence, causing me to believe that
The Lycan King's Forbidden Fruit. A Twinge
[Anthrose’s POV]My body screams at me, begging me to stop, to take a break, but I can’t stop moving. Behind me, I can hear noises of complaint and exhaustion escaping my companions, making it clear that they’re feeling the same thing as me. However, I can’t stop moving; I won’t stop moving; just the thought of stopping makes me so damn anxious I want to fucking destroy something. I can’t stop the feeling that if I stop looking even for a second, Chanel will vanish completely.Shivering, I try not to think of a world where she doesn’t exist somewhere. Sure, it was one thing to keep my distance and allow her to live the life that she deserves, but to even think of her not being somewhere alive and happy damn near kills me.‘Chanel.’ I call to the darkness, hoping and praying that by some miracle she will respond to me. ‘Where are you? Why aren’t you answering me?’“Anthrose.”I immediately freeze as the voice reaches me, but I realize a moment too late that it wasn’t Chanel’s voice, it
The Lycan King's Forbidden Fruit. A Trap
[Chanel’s POV]I look around me, taking in the stone walls around me, noting how they’re cracking, allowing vines to grow through them while my intrusive thoughts try to get the better of me. They’re screaming things like what if this place were to collapse. What if you find yourself at a dead end? What if you run out of air? It’s irritating as fuck, and even though I keep telling them to shut up, they just won’t.“Hey,” I call to Tyson, who leads the way in hopes of distracting myself. “Are you certain that we are going in the right direction?”Since he was the one to choose our path and take the lead, I could only hope that he somehow could track the way out of this place, but what if he was just leading us deeper into this underground labyrinth?“Hey,” I repeat when he doesn’t respond to me. “I’m talking to you.”Frustration growing, I move forward and grab his shoulder, forcing him to turn and look at me, but I’m not met with the same gaze that I was used to. Instead, I’m met with
The Lycan King's Forbidden Fruit. His Desperateness
[Anthrose’s POV]We spend the rest of the day searching for any sign of Chanel or Tyson, but all we come up with is nothing. It’s almost like neither of them existed or were somehow spirited away from earth.“We should rest.” Henry, one of Ulrick’s warriors, suggests later that evening. “We will be useless in helping them if we are exhausted.”“Are you saying that this little bit of action exhausts you?” I demand. “If that's the case, you are more than welcome to rest, but I’m going to keep searching.”“But, sir…”“I said I was going to keep searching!” I growl, not giving two fucks if I came across as argumentative or defiant. “There’s no fucking way that I’m going to stop until I find her.”Even though only a couple of hours had passed, I couldn’t help but feel like days, even weeks, had already gone by without Chanel’s presence. It was fucking maddening, and I was beginning to feel like a crazy man. How the hell did I manage to stay away from her for so many years in the past?No.
The Lycan King's Forbidden Fruit. Beneath The Earth
[Chanel’s POV]I watch as the crevice above me grows farther and farther away until my body is hitting the wolf beneath me, who takes most of the impact. Together, we lay there, watching as the ground slowly begins to close once more, eliminating the little bit of light around us until we are plunged into darkness.Snapping out of it, I jump up and then look to the wolf beside me, taking him in while wondering what exactly he was thinking. And once I shift back into my human form, I wait as he stares at me.“What?” I demand, my annoyance flaring. “Don’t look at me like that.”Letting out what sounds almost like a huff of annoyance, he begins to shift until Tyson is lying on the ground in the wolf’s place.“What?” He asks as I narrow my gaze. “Why are you looking at me like that?”Why? Because he was the reason we were here right now. He wasn’t paying attention to where he was going when he saved me.“Do I really need to answer that?” I sigh, beginning to look around, taking in the tun
The Lycan King's Forbidden Fruit. A Crevice
[Chanel’s POV]“Right.”I give Anthrose one last look before turning my gaze toward the creatures that are slowly making their way toward us. They’re different from the beasts that we’ve encountered until this point, but they’re also the same.These look almost like worms, but they have legs and buglike faces. I guess if I had to compare them to anything, it would be centipedes. Just watching them move gave me the heebie jeebies, but I wasn’t about to let them stop me from getting to what I wanted.Giving Anthrose one last look, I begin to shift, and once I’m in my wolf form, I move, surging forward and attacking the creepy crawly closest to me. When we clash, it immediately attempts to roll its body around me, but I leap out of the way.Landing on top of it, I watch as the rest of our group joins in the fray, beginning our first official battle since arriving on the island.‘Don’t get yourself killed.’Anthrose's voice reverberates in my mind, causing my heart to race and giving me t
The Lycan King's Forbidden Fruit. A Guessing Game
[Anthrose’s POV]I don’t speak as Chanel’s question flows over me, settling into the deepest pits of my soul along with the loathing and disgust that I’ve felt since the day the thing she is asking about happened, and as much as I would like to say, I know that I can’t.“The plague.” I respond instead, deciding that was a good enough explanation. “It affected my eyes.”“You’re lying.”Chanel’s response is firm, and I know that due to our bond, there was just no way that I would be able to get away with lying to her.“How did it really happen?”How? That was an easy fucking response, but again, I knew that if I were to speak it out loud, then there was a good chance it would dig out the skeletons that I was trying so hard to not think about anymore.“Anthrose,” Chanel’s voice drifts through my muddled thoughts. “You can tell me anything. You know that, right?”I did. But this was something that didn’t only involve me. It also involved her, and I knew if I were to open up about it, then
