*LYCIA*Suddenly I felt him touch my legs, fingers crawling up my skin in a teasing manner. He would climb them up and then bring them down back again. He continued in these motions once or twice making me try to kick him away with my leg.“Oh and did you know my grandson just came back?” Mrs. Lorena said, making me shake my head at her words.“No, I don’t think I heard about him. The last I heard was that he went to pursue a career as an artist,” I said, making her nod and smile at me.“You have a good memory child but he came back and I think you should meet him,” she said and at her words I felt Seff pinch my thigh making me squeeze them shut together only to find that he was now sitting right between them.What the fuck was he doing? Was he being jealous because Mrs. Lorena wanted me to meet her grandson?I didn’t even like that dork!Nodding at Mrs. Lorena who started telling me all about what her grandson who I couldn’t even remember the name of was doing in his stay abroad I tr
*LYCIA* It was almost as if I had been getting a taste of my own medicine. Just yesterday it was Seff trying to get me to talk to him and now today I was the one in the same predicament as him. “Oh come on don’t give me the silent treatment! It’s not like anything came out from our trip to the library? Besides, didn't you already get your revenge when you cruelly took me to the edge and then denied me pleasure?” I asked and an evil smile appeared on his face when I reminded him of that. “You deserved it,” he said and although I could argue with him on that I didn’t and instead walked up to him where he was sitting on the Sofa. “Fine I am sorry for making you hide from my best friend but you need to understand that hiding you from Mrs. Lorena was a necessity. She would have told the whole coven about me and this new boy that she hadn’t ever seen once before. And that’s strange because she literally knows everyone,” I said, making him smile a little at the desperation with which I w
*SEFF*“I know you are angry at me but I am doing this for your own good, don’t you want to meet with your family again?” Lycia asked, looking at me with a frown on her face.No, I didn’t want to meet my family. Meeting them would mean putting them in danger.I wanted to say that but I couldn’t and so I ignored her once again like how I usually did when I couldn’t get through to her. I understood that she wanted to get rid of me and that she didn’t want a mate but with this Envoy here my chances of actually wooing her was becoming slimmer than ever before.“Alright all you have to do is just stay here and wait for him to pass. If you recognize him and any of your memories comes back then just let me know. It would mean that you belong to the Darrow’s kingdom and it would be easier for us to find where exactly you are located there,” she said pausing for a second and then continued, “Or maybe we could also just ask him for help.”Since she had heard about this yesterday she had been go
*LYCIA*If I have learned one thing about living with a Lycan then it is that I have learned nothing about them.Reemus was nothing like Seff.The two had been polar opposites, flanking any theory about Lycans that I had established yet.“Thank you Margie for escorting him till here,” I told the witch who had been catering to his every need until now.“Princess Lycia Amoret, it's a pleasure to meet you,” the man greeted me with fine dignity and manners that I had lacked seeing in Seff. He bowed a little when he honored me and honestly it felt odd to be treated with such etiquettes in this day and age.Maybe I was more comfortable with Seff's ways.“You should be, the queen is careful in the selection of our visitors but given our ancestral friendship we are happy to have you here, Beta Reemus Plyth,” I said, making sure to remind him of our difference in status as my mother had asked me to.I was usually good at looking down on people but with the magnificent aura of class that Reemus
*SEFF*My body ached and if truth be told I was quite frankly scared to even move for a few seconds.Why was Reemus here?With all my memories back I couldn’t help but be worried if he had brought me some bad news, why else would he travel to this coven?Was my brother alright? Or the kingdom? Did she do something to them?The thought of that vile woman sent a shiver through me, both of hatred and of fear. I was worried about what she might have done knowing that I had left my kingdom just to run away from her.Standing up I headed to where I knew Lycia was going to take him. A part of me was panicked but another part of me knew that it was all fine if Reemus wasn’t hurrying in getting the message through to me.That thought that struck calmed my heart down a little and I was glad that this coven had no other Lycans who could hear the pitiful hammering of my fretful organ. I am truly a stain to the title of a prince.Catching up to them, still hiding behind the bushes and trees I noti
*LYCIA*While Beta Plyth was being entertained by a performer I quickly made my way to Seff.This was going to end today.“I can’t fucking believe you did that?” I shouted storming up to Seff when he arrived at the location where I had instructed him to.“What did I do?” he looked worried at my outburst. His beautiful blue eyes were open wide as the corners of his lips pulled down in an adorable frown.Ugh, what is wrong with me! Why do I go weak every time I look at his face!Taking a deep breath in while reminding myself why I was mad at him I said, “Layering me up with your pheromones! How could you do this?”I had expected him to look guilty but his frown stretched into a thin line while his eyes looked at me with accusation. An unbelievably strong aura emitted from him, something I had never felt from him before and one that was quickly cornering me to the tree behind. When he was only a step away from me he bent closer to me and without a warning kissed my lips.This wasn't the
*LYCIA*I was red.My cheeks flaming from embarrassment and my mind flushing with anger.The depravity and lust I had been forced to undergo had been a serious blow to my ego. I couldn’t say anything to him after what he did and the worst part was that all I wanted was for him to continue.That was nearly not enough at all.I had to take a moment to refresh myself with my magic again to remove any smell of my orgasm from being traced by Reemus. I had already embarrassed myself enough in front of him. I couldn’t let him know more.“Don’t worry my pheromones that I covered you with, will stop him from smelling your arousal. Only I can smell it and let me tell you I know that no matter how long you put up that grouchy front, your body is still carving my touch,” Seff said from beside me as we walked back to Reemus for the two to meet. I tried not snapping at him but I had to glare at him when he continued, “How perverse of you.”“I know you are trying to get out of this but I am not tole
*SEFF* “You shouldn’t have done that.” I said about to run after Lycia, regretting agreeing to Remus’s plan already. “Sit down,” Reemus said, stopping me from following her. “She needs to understand how she really feels about you. I don’t think she hates you as much as she says. It seems like she hates the idea of a mate but she cares about you. I reckon you need a little more time with her.” “I know but I didn’t think that you would bother her this way,” I said looking at the spot that was empty now. She must have used teleportation magic. Given that she had already used it once to send the other witch away for my sake, using it a second time in such a short span of time must take a toll on her body. If she risked hurting herself like this then this must have affected her in a worse way than I thought initially. “Hey stop glaring at me like that, I did that for you.” He said tearing through another piece of the meat kept in front of us. “Besides I was the one who ruined things fo
(6 years later)*LYCIA*Blinking open my eyes I yawned and turned my head to the side to find that my husband and adorable mate was already staring at me.“Good morning,” I mumbled, making him kiss me.“Morning beautiful,” he said against my lips.“How long have you been staring at me, you creep?” I asked with a chuckle, realizing that it was still early in the morning.“Long enough to get me hard,” he said, swiftly turning us over so that I was now sitting above him as he clamped onto my thighs that were stretched out on his either side, with my crotch directly in line to his cock.“Seff!” I admonished him hitting his chest as I felt all sleep vanish from my mind with the straining hot dick I felt through the soft cotton of his boxers. The loose t-shirt I was wearing over my boy shorts moved out of the way leaving us touching directly save for our underwear.“What? I thought you promised that we would do something naughty today,” he said and I realized that he must have been looking
*LYCIA*"I can't believe you would be the first one to get married among all of us," Esme said, adjusting my veil so that it framed my face better."Hey, don't forget you were the one who wanted me to get into a serious relationship. I merely adhered to my best friend's request," I said, making her pout at me."Don't think that just because you made me your bridesmaid I will forgive you for keeping that secret about the spirit from me," she said, clicking her tongue in disapproval. "That isn't something you hide. You should always come to me first when something happens. I want to be there for you.""I've already apologized a million times for it. Please let it go for today," I groaned, her action reminding me of Reemus. The two were similar in that they both held a mean grudge.She grinned at my expression and then, facing forward, she said, "By the way, you look really sexy! Seff is going to lose his mind."Suddenly, there was a cough behind us, making her look embarrassedly at my d
"Give me some space and move as far away as you can," he said, motioning for us to stick to the walls and keep our distance."Are all magicians this strong?" Seff asked in my head. "I feel like every witch and wizard that I have seen so far are phenomenally strong.""No, I think it's just Lars who can get off a hospital bed and start to wield such strong and difficult magic like that," I said in slight awe at the power he held."Alright, I will start now. Don't try to intervene in between," he said, and then closing his eyes, he started chanting a spell in the old witches' language.Electricity crackled in the air around him as the clothes on his skin started to lift in the air from the waves of magic that he was sending out from him. Slowly, he was lifted off the floor, and just when we thought something would happen, he was plopped down to his feet, making him open his eyes and shake his head."Ah, I think I have become a little rusty not having used magic in so long. Don't worry, j
*LYCIA*So maybe I was wrong. The reason why Mom wasn’t worried wasn’t because she had been hiding her fears; it was because she had been working on it. So far, she had put ten tracker witches on Alora’s case to find her, and although they hadn’t been successful, she had been putting all her time and energy into bringing her out of whichever hold she had been hidden in.“It feels weird to be back here,” I commented from my spot on my bed, where I had been lying flat on my belly while Seff was seated on the sofa of my room, holding a cushion to his chest and taking in the room.We had decided to stay the night at the palace yesterday after the ceremony and had only returned back home just two minutes ago after having breakfast with Roz and freshened up.“Yeah, it does, but also kind of nostalgic and comfortable,” he said, picking at a stain on the wall of my lipstick form when I had once thrown it at him, and the stick had smeared red on the wall. “I can’t believe so much time has pass
*LYCIA*There was a still silence that hushed the people as they stared at the scene before them.“Your Highness,” the priestess started at the sudden change of the happy scene. “We shouldn’t do something like this on such a joyous occasion like today.”“It is exactly why it should be done today, in front of all these people, to show them their fates if they were to try to harm the crown and the royal family,” Roz said, his voice naturally reaching far and wide even without the microphone as people listened in on what their feared leader had to say.“But this is an auspicious occasion, shedding blood today…?” The priestess trailed off hesitantly, voicing her thoughts and those of the others who had been raptly looking at the scene before them.“Are you questioning your king right now?” Seff asked, looking over at her with a raised eyebrow.The question chilled my blood; there was rage behind it that couldn’t be masked even with the calm demeanor he had used to ask those words. He abho
*LYCIA*My heart felt like it would beat out of its cage and run all the way back to Amoret. Amoret was a small coven, so its population was small too, but with the way things had been in Darrow, I didn’t know how to face such a gigantic crowd.“Nervous?” Mom asked, coming to my side where I had been waiting to be called to greet the crowd of Darrow.“How could I not be? There are more than a thousand people out there waiting to see me, and millions more watching me back at their homes,” I said, feeling the anxiety eat at my nerves. "I knew what was coming for me, yet when I peeked out and saw it in reality, it was unbelievable. I can’t believe I am a part of the royalty of such a big kingdom."“Regretting being mates with that boy now?” she asked with a wicked smile on her face. She was teasing me and enjoying seeing me squirm, as if taunting me to have listened to her and stayed within the protective walls of the coven.“Never,” I admitted, “I almost died, fought a crazy manic culti
*LYCIA*"So you finally got rid of the Luna training, huh? Wasn’t this a bit extreme, though? You didn’t have to go and risk your life for it."At the words, I turned around to finally see the man who had been missing since yesterday after our return."Reemus! Where have you been?" I asked, rushing towards him. I had wondered about his whereabouts a few times but had forgotten to ask Seff about it."While a certain someone freed herself, I am still bound by my duties to get the Luna ceremony prepared for her," he said with a sigh. Then, with a small smile, he let go of his pretenses of being annoyed and said, "It's good to see that you are fine. I heard what happened, and it must have been really scary for you.""Of course, almost getting transformed into a chimera with my mate wasn’t the most pleasant of thoughts," I joked. But even as I said it, I felt my bile churn at the thought of it actually happening."Spare me from having to imagine that again. If that human hadn't already bee
*LYCIA*They knew.It was apparent by the silence that we now sat in after having just finished our lunch. We had been late because of obvious reasons, and by the time we came, dessert was already served to Dad and Roz, making us quietly hurry through our meal."Since we couldn’t talk while having lunch together," Roz said, looking at the two of us pointedly, "We should continue our conversation in the sitting room."Oh my goodness, I could see it from his gaze that he knew we were late because we were busy fucking each other.‘This is so embarrassing,’ I said, following King Roz to his sitting room, who was now talking to Dad again.‘Is it? I feel quite content, though,’ Seff grinned, glowing from the post-orgasmic bliss.‘Don’t joke about it! I can’t even look Dad in the eyes,’ I said, groaning as I remembered Dad politely smiling at me when I walked in and apologized for being late. ‘We should have stopped right there in the bathtub. Why did you have to seduce me to do it properly
"Lycia! Oh, my goddess! You are back!" Dad's worried voice fell on my ears like a salve, and tears spurted to my eyes like those of a child. I turned around to let him gather me in a hug."My sweet child, I am sorry. It's all my fault. Are you alright?" he asked, his shaky hands reluctantly pulling away from me to look me over. I could see in his eyes that even as I stood there, he found it difficult to believe that I was before him, safe and sound."Why are you covered in soot? Did she try to burn you?" Roz's aggravated voice roared out his anger and concern as he grabbed Seff by the shoulders and turned him around to check on him."We are fine, but let us talk about everything after Lycia and I take a bath," Seff said, pointing at his attire and our state."Yes, of course, but first, tell me, are you both hurt anywhere else besides this?" Dad asked, still anxious as he examined my burnt hands. He didn't wait for my response as he closed his eyes and started working on healing my han
