The Lycan King's Forbidden Fruit. Take Away
[Rosalie’s POV]I look around, taking in the familiar space around me. Why was I back here, and what did that mean about my physical body?“You’re here,” a deep, soothing voice calls, drawing my attention behind me where Diego’s lycan is making his way toward me. “I’ve missed you.”Feeling a war beginning to rage between my heart and my head, I narrow my gaze and clench my fists.“Why?” I demand, remembering everything that happened before I found myself here. “Why did you do that?”When I felt Diego’s distress rush through me earlier in the night, I didn’t hesitate to move, leaving not only Gil but even my stepmother and sister to go to his side. How was I to know that I wouldn’t find Diego at all when I reached, but instead a terrifying beast that was neither wolf nor man?It was the first time I ever actually saw Diego in his lycan form since he never changed, even in the most dire of times. I was certain it probably had something to do with the need to remain in control while figh

[Rosalie’s POV]When we arrive at the hospital, where I can only assume Annemarie is being held, Giddeon gets out and comes around to open my door. Giving a smile, I step out and then take in the large building in front of us while wondering how Annemarie was doing.Deciding it was better to just see for myself, I start to move while Giddeon follows close behind. Once inside, I head straight to the reception, where a woman sits with a professional smile on her face.“Annemarie Aguilar.” I announce. “Could you point us in her direction?”Nodding, the woman starts to click on her computer. When she looks back up at us, a smile spreads across her face.“Labor and delivery.” She announces. “It’s just in that direction.”“Thanks,” I beam, heading in the direction that I’ve been pointed to. “Come on,” I continue, grabbing Giddeon’s hand and tugging. “Once we check on Annemarie, we can try to come up with a way to help Diego.”Settling on this, I continue to move until I spot Chanel, who sta

[Rosalie’s POV]How long do Chanel and I sit in the waiting room, waiting for someone—anyone to come and tell us any news in regards to Annemarie? I’m not sure, but when the first rays of morning light start to trickle through the single window behind us, I know that something can’t be right.Unable to remain in place, I get to my feet just as the door to the room opens and Diego’s parents come storming in. When his mother spots me, she surges forward, and her hand connects with my cheek.“YOU BITCH!” She shrieks, her clawed nails tearing my skin. “WHY ARE YOU HERE?”“Angela,” Diego’s father hisses, grabbing his wife as she moves in for another strike. “You need to calm down. Remember your condition.”“Devin!” She snaps, whirling on her husband. “Can’t you see that this bitch is a walking omen? Look what happened to our children, because...”“Because what?” Chanel challenges, coming to my defense. “Are you really trying to claim that this has anything to do with Rosalie? Instead, why

[Diego’s POV]True fear and panic rush through me as I once again feel my body shifting and changing from man to beast, and when it finishes, I know that I’m no longer in control of anything that is happening.‘Rosalie,’ I call, hoping and praying that I can find her somewhere out there in the crowd. However, I’m met by nothing more than a void. It’s almost like she doesn’t exist at all, and that terrifies me. ‘Please answer me.’As I send my silent plea into the universe, the fake Bernard steps forward and starts to undo my bindings, and to my horror, my fucking lycan doesn’t even attempt to attack. Instead, it relaxes, and when the fake Bernard holds out a hand, it actually fucking follows.‘What the hell are you doing?’ I demand as it starts to follow Bernard out of the interrogation room like an obedient dog. ‘Wasn’t he your enemy not long ago?’‘My enemy is dead.’ My lycan responds, taking me by surprise. ‘This person is not our enemy.’Not our enemy. How the fuck wasn’t it my en

[Rosalie’s POV]“Now.”Diego’s father’s voice rings out around us along with his aura, which presses against my skin. It was clear that he was pissed over this revelation that involved his wife and his kids.“Honey,” Diego’s mother says slowly, trying her best to calm him. “Listen to me; they don’t…”“Explain!” He roars, sending waves of powerful energy crashing into us. “Right this fucking moment!”At his words, Diego’s mother cowers while Chanel tightens her hold on me, keeping me in place as his command threatens to make me kneel. Fuck, this man was strong, but his power was nothing compared to Diego’s.“Angela,” Diego’s father says slowly. “You better tell me what they’re talking about. What is this about a curse on your family?”Here it comes. I whisper inwardly, my hope rising. Once we knew exactly what it was that Diego was suffering from, we could try to do something about it.“I don’t,” Diego’s mother stammers, her eyes darting around the room. “I don’t…”“STOP LYING!” Diego’
Last Updated : 2024-09-05The Lycan King's Forbidden Fruit. Fade Away
[Rosalie’s POV]I watch in horror as Diego’s father becomes still, his blood slowly pooling around him. And what’s worse than the man just dying there, alone and cold on the ground, is the fact his own son doesn’t turn once to give him a last glance.“Diego,” I whisper, unable to believe that this creature holding me is him. “Where are you?”Reaching out, I begin to try to find Diego in the darkness, but just like the other times I tried, I can’t find him, and I can’t feel him anywhere around me.‘He’s gone.’ A deep voice rumbles in my head. ‘He was too weak.’‘No!’ I hiss, beginning to fight again despite knowing that it was futile. ‘He isn’t!’Letting out a snarl of outrage, I begin to thrash and claw, doing everything I can to break free of the one holding me.“Do something to keep your bitch in check.” Bernard snaps. “Otherwise, I will.”Grunting, what I now know is Diego’s lycan reaches up, slamming a hand into my neck, causing spots to dance in front of my eyes and my ears to st

Two souls come together, combining as one. Bringing forth a prophecy that can’t be undone. They move together with forceful thrusts, brimming with hate and lust. As their bodies begin to slowly entwine, their darkness comes forth just in time.To encase the world in darkness, to bring about the end of times.And when it is finished, there will be hell to pay.[Chanel’s POV]I stare in disbelief at the unmoving man on the ground in front of me.“Devin!” Angela wails, kneeling beside her husband and shaking him. “Devin! This isn’t funny! Stop it!”My heart breaks as I watch the scene, but I can’t quite fully find it in me to consider this reality. How was it possible that things took such a drastic turn in such a short amount of time?“Chanel!”Tearing my gaze from the scene, I watch as Giddeon rushes toward me with a look of horror on his features.“Did you find them?” I ask, though I already know the answer.If he was alone, it meant that Diego and that bastard Bernard got away, an

[Chanel’s POV]I stand on the balcony of the tallest building in the city, the place that my friends should be but aren’t, staring at the dark sky above. Lightning flashes, travelling across it while thunder rumbles, shaking the ground beneath my feet, adding to the ominous feeling that is slowly growing in my heart.“Fuck,” I sigh, wrapping my arms around me as the worry that I’ve been trying so damn hard to keep at bay threatens to come forward. “I’m sorry.”Turning, I head back inside where Anthrose and Giddeon sit with Landon and Geo. Both boys wear the same looks of forced strength that someone their age shouldn’t even be learning.“Did you get in touch?” Gideon asks me.“No,” I respond, plopping down on the couch and pinching the bridge of my nose. “No luck.”Since Rosalie’s disappearance, I was trying my damnest to get ahold of Gil, but no amount of reaching out seemed to help. Even going up to his company failed, as I was simply told that he was away on a business meeting.It

The Lycan King's Forbidden Fruit. Fate
[Ciaran’s POV]I lead my little mate through the bar and out toward the parking lot while everything in me screams to stop this and just leave her. However, unlike the first time we met, the bond feels so much stronger, and I can’t stop my wolf as it begs to have a taste of her. And frankly, this evening I wasn’t in the mood to be cautious, not when fate was continuing to bring her to me. However, there was something that didn’t make sense and that bugged the fuck out of me.She recognized me and my threat.Frowning, I reach my car and yank open the door to the backseat, and not wasting any time, I throw her inside and then climb in, slamming the door behind me. And once inside, I’m trapping her wrists between my hand, taking note of how fucking tiny they feel in my grasp. All I had to do was squeeze a little, and they would break.A human. I was mated to a fucking human. Me. Mated to such a weak being. What kind of fucking joke was this?“Why?” I grunt, trying to make sense of what w
The Lycan King's Forbidden Fruit. His Vulnerability
[Chanel’s POV]My body buzzes with a delicious energy due to Anthrose marking me. Even though I’m exhausted from the ordeal that I’ve suffered through, I feel so invigorated that it leaves me stunned. However, by the looks of Anthrose and even Gil, who silently slumps to the side, I know that not all of us are going to be able to search for the artifacts needed to save Rosalie and Diego.“Anthrose,” I say quietly, letting him slump against me. “We should let Sam and the others find the artifacts.”“What are you saying?” Anthrose demands, jerking away. “How can we possibly…”He doesn’t finish his words before he is collapsing again, and I know that he isn’t going to fight me if I drag his ass out of here. But I know that even I won’t be able to do that, not when I needed to support Gil.“Are you able to walk?” I ask, deciding to not scold him for trying to act like he was fine. “Or should I…”“I can walk.” He assures me, slowly standing. “What about you?”“I’m fine,” I admit, joining h
The Lycan King's Forbidden Fruit. Calm The Beast
[Anthrose’s POV]Joy rushes through me as the taste of blood explodes on my tongue. Goddess, it tastes so good, especially mixed with the fear that is trickling from the one that I’m slowly ripping limb from limb. It’s all I can taste, all I can feel, all I can focus on.That’s it. The darkness in me purrs. Kill. Kill everyone.Kill everyone. Right. I needed to kill everyone because they’re the ones who did this. This was their fault. They were the reason I was left with no other choice but to embrace the beast that I always kept in the shadows.Kill.The word repeats itself in my mind again and again until I feel hands wrapping around me, pulling at me, all of them attempting to stop me from killing the one beneath me.“Anthrose.”“Stop it.”“We need him alive.”Bullshit. We didn’t need this bastard alive! He deserved to die because he…The rest of my thought gets lost as a sweet scent slams into me, drawing my gaze to the single figure who lays on the ground clutching their abdomen.
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.
