*LYCIA* There are days when I really hate my mother. “Absolutely not Lycia, I do not care that Travis just got his own pet Wolf for his birthday you are not getting one and that’s final,” she said conclusiveness evident in her voice. “Then what about a snake or a falcon, a kitten or a dog? Just anything would do! Please, please let me have one!” I tried compromising with the other options but knowing my mother she would say something along the lines that I wasn’t responsible enough to handle another life. “It would do you good if you started paying more attention in helping me manage the coven administration. You are to be the next queen if this goes on then you would ruin the Amoret name. When will you become responsible?” she sighed making me cringe and put my phone away from my ear to avoid hearing the rest of her speech that followed soon after. She wouldn’t let me have a pet but she would gladly let me handle numerous people’s lives in my hand. I am sure the latter was a bigg
*LYCIA*“Mate.”That was the first word he spoke while I stood frozen in place at the fear and catastrophe I had wrecked on myself.He looked confused and his golden eyes were vivacious as it assessed me like a predator. I had never seen a real Lycan in my life before. My mother had made sure that I never came in contact with one but I had read about them. About their golden eyes the color of the sun and just as deadly, closer to the eyes of a beast than humans and one that they only showed when they felt threatened and ready to attack.Was he going to kill me?Preparing my hand on my side I was read to blast him with a spell if he was to attack me when suddenly I saw his eyes change their color. The golden dissolved leaving behind the cool blue of the depths of an ocean. They were dark but brightened up soon after as in one gigantic jump almost like the leap of a wolf the man shouted, “Mate!”What the fuck!I recalled listening to him have said that just a minute ago as well but I ha
*LYCIA*Trying to gain control over myself I am about to pull him away from me when I heard my mother’s voice.“Lycia? Are you done with the potion that I asked you to make?” she asked making me realize that she was seconds away from barging into my room.The unknown lycan man perked up at my mother’s voice and standing up he said, “She must be your mother, I should greet her-”At his words panic took over me. With my mother’s footsteps approaching my door and this lovesick man inviting his own death and mine with him I could only think of one thing and twirling my hand in the air I clicked my fingers. Thankfully I was quick because just as a knock came and my mother opened the door the lycan turned into a dog.The fur that he had as a wolf remained still but smaller than his wolf’s size he looked more like a husky. There was confusion on his animalistic features at the sudden transformation and whimpering he looked back at me. With its tail dropping down he plodded to my legs and loo
*WOLFIE*‘Run!’Anger and fear gripped me.A voice laughed near my ears hovering close to my very heart. The sound was so chilling that it made me shiver trying to control the consistent speed and the will to keep my legs moving.‘I’ll protect you so just run!’ Someone called out to me. I could tell from his voice that he was equally shook but who was he? A terror surrounded my being as I sped past the trees, my paws scrunching on the tree leaves only revealing my location to the entity after me.I turned back to look once almost blinded by the light that came whirling towards me and jumping at the last moment and feeling it collide with my leg I howled in pain. My wolf form stronger and yet the pain seeped through my body, almost numbing my movements. Unable to do anything I thrashed midair and then went tumbling down into a deep pit.My consciousness was barely with me and with the air whooshing around me the far away cry of someone calling my name rung in my head.‘Seff!’Was that
*LYCIA*“So what do you say? Will you be coming to my party today?” Travis asked his voice husky and it was clear that he had just woken up unlike a certain someone who had woken me up at five in the morning.That’s the time I go to sleep!“I don’t know, I am not feeling like it,” I teased him knowing well enough that he would be reduced to pleading within a second. I can’t deny that it was a confidence boost for my own crush to be pleading with me.What else does a woman need?“But you promised,” he said, lowering his voice to increase the huskiness. I am sure he was trying to be more attractive but after listening to Wolfie’s voice this morning I don’t think I can find any other person’s sleep voice sexy enough.The remembrance of the vibrations, the guttural and deep baritone escaping his bobbing Adam’s apple was the only reason why I couldn’t even complain about waking up that early. I am sure if my mother found out about this new alarm clock then she would reconsider having him a
*LYCIA*“Were you always such a pervert or did it change with that memory loss?” I asked exasperated at what happened this morning.“Hey, I already told you, it wasn’t my fault. I didn’t have any clothes to wear,” he said looking through the bags of new clothes I had bought for him.“So you thought lying naked on my bed was the most natural thing to do?” I asked, unable to understand how he could be so nonchalant about everything.“Yes, you are my mate, why should I be shy about showing my body to you,” he said with a smile on his face as he brought up a t-shirt in front of him. “Besides I am all yours, my body included.”“No, thank you. I don’t need you to be mine,” I said feeling awkward at the talk of the mates. I could see that he was being hopeful but there was no way I would ever accept him and every time he brought this up it only made me feel guilty somehow.It was stranger because I was more worried about this stranger getting his feelings hurt than I was ever with my other f
*LYCIA*“I think you brought me a little too early to this party. Shouldn’t we be fashionably late? You know we are important people,” I huffed making my way up the driveway of Travis’s house. People immediately stopped what they were doing and looked when they recognized me passing them, whispering among themselves.This wasn’t new and at first it had bothered me but now I thrived in this attention.“Oh come on, this much is fine,” she said and instead of going towards the dance floor outside she took me inside the house.“Why are we going in? That’s not where the real party happens, unless of course you want to use one of the rooms for sex with someone,” I said to which she rolled her eyes.“I know for sure that Dylan is going to be there outside and I don’t have the courage to face him yet,” she sighed at the thought of meeting her ex-boyfriend.“Well fine we’ll go in first but it’s only because I hate that guy too,” I said entering the house first to get some alcohol filled in her
*LYCIA*The anger in his eyes made me even angrier.It was as if Wolfie was trying to accuse me of doing something bad? I didn’t appreciate that gaze and glaring back at him to let him know that he was in no position to be treating me this way I hoped he received the message that he wasn’t to interfere me.“Go back and leave me alone,” I said and even though the party was so loud that people could barely hear each other shouting over the music I knew he had heard me. His expression darkened with defiance as he instead leaned against the tree near which he was standing.It was clear that even though he wasn’t going to bother me or storm up and do anything he wasn’t going to let this be easy for me with his continuous staring.If he was going to torture me with his annoyance then I was going to torture him with my teasing.Two could play at this game.Grabbing the guy next to me I said, “Kiss me.”He didn’t seem to understand but when I pressed my body against his and leaned he got the
