The Lycan King's Forbidden Fruit. Her Arrival
[Diego’s POV]“Quit being absurd.”As I speak, the woman’s eyes come to rest on me as she gives me a look of confusion. Even this new look causes that strange stirring to erupt, but before it can grow, I tear my gaze away.“Right, I’m crazy,” Chanel cackles, not missing the moment. “And since you’re here, I think that Anthrose and I will take our leave.”“Where are you going?” I ask as Chanel wraps her arms around Anthrose’s. “Didn’t you bring him here because he needs treatment?”“Of course not,” Chanel responds. “I brought him here so he could properly thank dear Rosalie. If it wasn’t for her helping him, he would most certainly end up like the rest.”At her words, the woman flinches, and I realize that she isn’t aware of the fate of the infected. Since she was stuck in this place, she didn’t know a thing about what was going on outside of these four walls.“What happened to them?” She asks, her face falling. “Did they not get better?”“They’re….” Chanel begins, but stops as I shake

[Rosalie’s POV]I remain silent as Diego leads out the dark-haired beauty who appeared out of nowhere. It leaves me with an odd feeling in my chest. Maybe it was because of how strange Diego was acting earlier on, or maybe it was just my selfishness.Sighing, I tear my gaze away from the direction they left and flop down in my bed while pushing the sensation away.“Whatever they’re doing doesn’t concern you,” I murmur, tugging my blanket to my chin and rolling over so that my back is to the door. “Stop expecting things.”As the words leave my lips, I close my eyes and begin to let myself drift.When I wake up the next morning, Diego still hasn’t returned, but healer Murdoch and his assistant Clement have. Their presence is a welcome distraction from the torrent of emotions I’m feeling, and when Chanel appears with Anthrose in tow, any remaining uneasiness disappears and is replaced by anxiety.“Don’t worry,” Chanel giggles as I warily watch Anthrose. “This big bad wolf has promised to

[Rosalie’s POV]The room around me grows quiet as Chanel and Anthrose consider my words. Although Diego was more or less aware of the reason I was in prison, these two probably weren't. Well, I guess this would decide whether or not they both would choose to continue having something to do with me.“You,” Anthrose says, breaking the silence. “A scrawny thing like you managed to kill three grown men? Were they omegas?”“No,” I respond, bristling. “One was an alpha and my husband at the time. The other two were his beta and delta.”Nodding, Anthrose once again ponders over what I’m telling him, but instead of the look of hatred I became used to, his features showed pity. Was this man actually feeling bad for me after knowing that I was a murderer?“They did something to you, right?” Chanel asks, pulling me closer to her. “That had to be the reason you did it, right?”“They…” I begin as images of that time begin to emerge. As they become more and more vivid, the feelings of fear and help

[Diego’s POV]“What is it you want?”I stand outside of healer Murdoch's, staring at Chanel while she gives me a look of amusement. What the hell was going through this woman’s head, and why did she insist on dragging me out here right after the woman said she wasn’t feeling well? Shouldn’t we be making sure that she was fine since we didn’t know if this battle with the darkness was over?“Are you truly that oblivious?” Chanel huffs, giving me a look of annoyance.Oblivious. Who the fuck was she calling oblivious?“I don’t know what you’re referring to." I sigh. “If you brought us out here to talk nonsense, then I’m...”“Are you that worried about her?”Chanel’s words stop me dead in my tracks as something in me pulls. Frowning, I try to make sense of the sudden foreign feeling that is beginning to build in me. What was this?“You don’t have to answer that,” Chanel giggles as Anthrose lets out a huff of a laugh. “Don’t you think it is about time you stopped acting like a hardass?”“Sh

[Rosalie’s POV]I’m left speechless by Diego’s words and his actions. What was it that this man was trying to get at, and why did they make my insides tingle with anticipation?“I think you may have gone mad from exhaustion.” I offer, refusing to get my hopes up. “Maybe you should...”“Is that what you truly think?” He challenges, leaning closer. “Or are you trying to convince yourself of that?”“I…” I begin, but falter as Diego’s dark gaze begins to swallow me whole.Gulping, I try to ignore the pull beneath my belly button from anticipation. To say I wasn’t attracted to this man would be a lie, but what would happen if I did reach out a hand in an attempt to touch him? Would he actually allow me to do so, or would he shift back to the man who hated me so much?I couldn’t trust anything when it came to him since his personality shifted so quickly.“You’re engaged,” I repeat, trying to draw a line between us as he grows dangerously close.For a moment, neither Diego nor I speak as we
Last Updated : 2024-05-09The Lycan King's Forbidden Fruit. Draw A Line
[Diego’s POV]I allow Kate to lead me out onto the street and toward the hut that she was staying in during her visit. When we arrive at our destination and I’m sure that we are out of the view of prying eyes, I yank my arm free of hers.“Have you done enough?” I ask, narrowing my gaze on her.“Don’t tell me you’re mad at me,” she says, reaching out in an attempt to touch my chest but stopping as I let out a growl. “I was just making sure that woman knew her place.”Opening my mouth, I prepare to argue with what she said but stop as I remember that I’ve been doing the exact same—at least, up until this point. However, things were changing with the time we spent together, and honestly, guilt was starting to get the best of me.“Anyway,” Kate continues when I don’t speak. “Was I wrong?”Once again, I want to argue with her, but I know that that was the exact same thing I had said to the woman until now. Once she was done with her purpose, if she wasn’t dead, she would go back to prison.

[Rosalie’s POV]I lay with my back to the door of the hut while keeping my gaze fixed on the window. I know that it is crazy of me to wonder if Diego will appear there again, but I just couldn’t stop the hope that was welling inside of me, especially given his sudden change of heart.Sighing, I slowly get up and make my way over just as a figure appears, causing me to crash backwards.“Ah!” I gasp as my ass hits the hard ground. “What the… Who…”Lifting my gaze, I find Chanel standing there, watching me with a look of amusement. And when I remain silent, her smile just broadens.“Am I not who you were expecting?” She giggles, hoisting herself inside. “That hurts me, dear Rosalie.”Leaning down, she grabs my hands and pulls me to my feet while I remain stunned. Was it that obvious on my face that I hoped she would be Diego? Dammit. I needed to be more cautious.“Forget that pig and fall in love with me.” She sighs, straightening my clothes. “I’ll treat you so much better than him.”Ope

[Rosalie’s POV]Growing quiet, I watch on as Diego and Anthrose strengthen their attacks. It was clear that they were both getting tired from the sweat that pours down their skin and the way their chests heave. However, neither were willing to give up.Gritting my teeth, I try to ignore the cuts that are beginning to cover Diego’s skin from each of Anthrose’s attacks. While I watch on, Hana begins to come alive and let out growls of annoyance over what is happening.‘You should stop them,’ she huffs in frustration. ‘Before he gets hurt too badly.’He. I didn’t have to ask who it was that she was referring to since I already knew. I could no longer deny the attraction and possessiveness I was beginning to feel for Diego. Why was it happening? I didn’t know, but if I had to guess, it was the one thing I absolutely didn’t want to form between us.‘He’s a grown man.’ I counter, trying to ignore her. ‘He can do whatever he wants, and I don’t have any place to tell him what to do.’At my wo

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
