Vee’s POV

I don’t know what was in the bitter concoction the old woman gave me, but I was grateful for it. All the pain racking my body was gone in a matter of seconds. But I felt weak.

I needed to sleep, to reboot my system and then find a way to leave this place before I and Vera are discovered.

But first, a little power nap.

My eyelids almost fluttered shut when the door to the balcony was kicked open, Adonis sprinted across the room with a cold expression etched on his face. Helga followed behind him, just not as fast. She looked even older with the worried frown on her face.

Before I could form any words they were both out of the room, slamming the door behind them.

Did something happen?

As though in response to my question, several set of hurried footsteps echoed in the hallway.

Fuck a power nap, I had to find out what was going on.

I climbed out of bed and slowly got to my feet. A wave of dizzy spell hit me, I still myself, with my eyes pressed shut, and waited

  • The Lycan King's Game    32 – Unbounds

    Adonis’s POV When Helga stated that she sensed blood magic, I had a feeling that things were about to get messy. What I didn’t expect was it would get this messy. As soon as I had stepped out of the palace, I noticed Fang taking his taking his clothes off and growling at the distance. I couldn’t see what he was growling at but I sure as hell could feel them coming at us in full speed. The smell felt like acid burning through my nostrils all the way to my throat. It certainly was blood magic. But how? The circle had banned the use of blood magic by witches and sorcerers. So why then can I sense black magic and most importantly, how where they able to breach my territory. Nate growled in my head, in excitement as I took my clothes off. It has been five years since he got any real action. “Be careful,” Helga murmured, staring into the distance, with worry lines creasing her forehead and the corner of her eyes. There is only one witch I know uses blood magic, which was why the c

  • The Lycan King's Game    33 - How do you fight the dead?

    Adonis’s POV Nate thundered through the forest at full speed, crunching dried leaves and stomping raised roots and fallen twigs in his path. The scents of the unbounds were still fresh, making it easier to track and Nate was still riled up from the attack, he hoped there would be more unbounds at the end of the trail for him to kill to his satisfaction. The three trackers, Neden, Zeke and Gozie, were still far behind. Even at full speed, they would not be able to catch up with Nate. Fang stayed back to take care of the feral Lycans and make sure that no unbounds were lurking around. Vee’s safety was priority now. Those unbounds were there for her and I have a feeling they will keep trying to take her. I need to know who wants her and why they want her. If this trail could lead me to whoever was involved in this, then I just might get my answers. Up ahead, I could hear a flowing river and the scent got stronger. Nate ran even faster, he may not be a big fan of water but to get

    Nena’s POV It didn’t matter how many deep breathes I took, I still felt really nervous. I knocked back the last of the concoction Helga had given me, the black liquid burned my throat on its way down, leaving a tingling feeling in my belly. By tomorrow, Helga would undo the binding spell and I can finally be free. I have trained every day in preparation for the selection event. I had also gone by the king’s training ground to watch the men train and I could tell that physically I wasn’t exactly a match, but with my powers I would more that stand a chance. I would win. I have to win. Instinctively, I reached for the photo on the night stand. Ezra had his signature wide, boyish smile on his face, with his eyes fixed on me. We had taken the photo on the day of our engagement. I wasn’t smiling in the picture, but the sunshine of his smile more than made up for my lack of smile. I had still been heartbroken over Fang. He had left me devastated, with no will to leave and without a

    Nena’s POV The strange woman still hadn’t woken up. After I brought her home yesterday, I tried to reach Helga. I had even gone by her place, but it was locked. I guess it had something to do with the unbound incident. I had to invite Lydia, a nurse and a former close friend of Ezra, to take a look. Lydia had tended to the woman’s wounds and injected her with some antibiotics and painkillers since her wounds weren’t healing on its own. It wasn’t unusual for Lycan’s to be unable to heal themselves. Only manifested Lycan’s could heal on their own, Lycan’s who could transform. The binding spell on me, meant that I could never manifest, hence I could not heal on my own. I had hoped that the woman would wake up before the end of the day, to at least tell me who she was and how to reach out to her family. Besides, I don’t exactly know how to take care of people. Heck, I have never had to take care of anyone or anything in my life, just my garden. She would be in better hands if

    VEE’S POV Tardiness was one of my best qualities. I am late to practically everything, my sister would always tease me by saying I would be late even to my own wedding. I don’t doubt that. If I came to work on time I would have finished cleaning this room and would not have to endure the dirty, lustful look this old man was giving me. “I would give you hundred bucks if you give me a blow job, two hundred if you make me cum,” his face crinkled as a grin appeared on his shriveled face. A bout of nausea crawled up my throat as the old man licked his lips, exposing his toothless mouth. I swallowed and flashed a polite smile. “No thank you,” I replied as I made my way to the bathroom to clean it up as quickly as possible and get out of here. The down side to being a cleaner in a hotel, was that every dick and harry would hit on me and I could not do anything to shut them down. The hotel management would take their customers side, after all the customer is always right. If I cou

    VEE’S POVJust when I thought things could not get worse, it just did. I always thought my father’s gambling would get him into trouble, but I was wrong. His gambling did not get him into trouble, it got I and my sister into trouble. Where the fuck am I supposed to get fifty thousand from? I have never even seen that much money in my entire life. "Fifty grand?” Vera screeched, her eyeballs threatening to pop out of the socket. “Where are we supposed to get that kind of money from?” Valkor strolled casually to where Vera stood, and traced his gun on her cheeks. “Don’t worry about the money, I have a line up of men that will pay good money to get a piece of your sweet ass,” he licked his lower lip, a simple gesture that filled me with disgust. Without thinking, I pulled Vera behind me. “We will pay you your money,” I blurted, surprising even myself. Where did the courage even come from? I didn’t even have a job! Valkor chuckled dryly. “Okay. Okay.” “We just need a little time to

    VEE’S POVBy the time I got home, I was drenched in my own sweat and my hair looked disheveled and out of control. But that was the least of my problems. I pushed the door open. Relief washed over me as soon as my eyes fell on my sister. Thank God she was still here.But so were the goons. And my place looked like it had been hit by a tornado storm. I raced to where Vera sat of the floor with her eyes red from crying. “Where’s my money?” Valkor asked harshly. I handed him a brown envelope, which he snatched from my hand almost as soon as I took out the envelope from my purse. He counted the money with swift fingers. Then as expected he frowned. “I said twenty-five G’s. What is this?” I tried to put on a brave face. I could not let him see how terrified I was. “That was how much I could raise under such short notice,” I replied. He chuckled, but it did not reach his eyes. I stood protectively in front of my sister, just in case. “If you could give me a little more…” The sound of

  • The Lycan King's Game    30 – Firsts

    Adonis’s POV All did I did was think about her. The gentle curves of her body, her long slender legs, her curly chestnut hair - that were always constricted in a bun - reminding me of the wild flowers that grew in my mother’s garden; the way her body had melded perfectly into mine, in a way that made me think of a slender hotdog engulfed in a buff buns. And God her scent! The natural fragrance lingered in my nostrils long after she ran out of the dining room. For the first time, her human scent wasn’t disgusting, it was delicious. Delicious enough to make me rock hard just by thinking about it. I had Nate and the mate bond to thank for that. I knew I had to stop thinking about the half breed in that manner, she wasn’t mine and she would never be. I only needed her to heal me and after that that, we'll go out separate way. The thought of killing her was no longer intriguing. I still couldn’t get a good night sleep, not after she had kissed me and left Nate all riled up. Now

  • The Lycan King's Game    29 – What the hell is Adonis?

    Vee’s POV All I seemed to do was get in one trouble after another. I just wanted to maintain a low profile and get the hell out of here but it almost seems like the universe was against me leaving. A shirtless, bulky man, stood at the doorframe and glared down at me with bloodshot eyes. He looked at me with hate and indignation just like every other person here did. His dark eyes darted behind, the anger in his eyes seemed to have boiled over when he saw the trashed table behind me. “What do you think you are doing here?” he barked, shoving the door open and hitting my nose in the process. I winced, staggering backwards as my hands instinctively clutched my nose. “It wasn’t me,” I muttered weakly. Tears welled up in my eyes as pain seared through my nose. I hope it isn't broken. He stepped further into the room, with his alert eyes darting around for anything amiss. I tried to keep the fear sipping into my chest at bay, all of a sudden a broken nose became the least of my

    Vee’s POV Vera clutched her cheek, her eyes twinkling with unshed tears, while laughing frantically. “Go ahead hit me some more, it doesn’t change the fact that you are a fricking snake!” I felt sorry for hitting her but even more, I felt sorry for myself, for always running head first into whatever trouble Vera gets herself into just to save her. I have been beaten and mocked for Vera's sake, I have even being kidnapped and almost killed for Vera and this is what she thinks of me. A hypocrite trying to present myself as the good sister and for what? There was no use arguing with Vera, she could stay here and die for all I care. I don’t care anymore. “All I have ever done is take care of you and all you have ever done is…” “Save it for someone who cares,” she spat, her hand falling to her side. “Don’t play this oppressed sister card with me. I have watched you play that card with mum for years. To mum I was the bad child. The poisoned apple.” “She never said that!” “But she tho
