*LYCIA* ‘Around 63 percent of deaths of lycans are because of the rejection of their mates. While over 89 per cent fall into severe depression waiting for a miraculous second chance mate but not many find them and instead choose to end their lives unable to live without their other half.’ “What kind of a bogus news article is this!” I screamed, chucking my phone against a tree making it crash and scatter around in pieces. The world swirled around me once and trying to maintain my balance I looked at the path that Reemus and I had just taken a few minutes ago while Seff hid here behind the bushes. “So he was speaking the truth. His life lies in my hand. My response will either break or make him but this isn’t fair,” I mumbled, the words tumbling out of my mouth as I crouched on the ground unable to stand on my feet any longer. My legs ached and when my hands touched the soft grass I just had to lay down my head to lighten the burden on my neck. My body felt heavy, every muscle and
*SEFF* “Put me down.” Lycia said struggling in my hold as she tried to get free. Her little squirms and the tinge of embarrassment that powdered her cheeks were all so adorable that I had to stop myself from smiling like a creep as I carried her back to where Reemus was waiting for us. “This is so embarrassing. How can I go in front of a guest like this?” she asked turning her face to hide in my chest while tightening her hold around my neck. She might make these excuses but I knew the real reason why she was embarrassed was because of the kiss that she had given me a few minutes ago. She might not have realized what she had offered in the flow of the conversation but as soon as she had snapped back she had tried getting away which was difficult with her exhausted body. Her energy had waned, and her steps were sluggish. I couldn’t bear to see her try and walk on her own so even as she complained I wouldn’t let her get away from me. “Well I think a princess style carry is suitable
*LYCIA*I understand. Fatigue and tiredness can be normal experiences, and there are many potential causes but the greatest one for me right now is sleeping peacefully beside me.I looked down at a sleeping Seff beside me, lying peacefully in my bed, a soft smile spread across his lips. The dim light from the moon peeking through the window cast a gentle glow on his sleeping form. I couldn’t help but admire the way his chest rose and fell with each steady breath, the way his tousled hair framed his handsome face.Watching him overwhelmed me for some reason.He had easily sneaked us inside my home like last time and I had passed down almost immediately but I remember helping me open my heels and putting a blanket over me. I could appreciate all that but then why did he lay next to me when he knows I am trying to avoid getting close to him.I don’t believe that I will fall for him, since I can never fall for anyone but this way he is only going to get himself hurt.Memories of our share
*LYCIA*My mind was a whirling vortex of contradictory emotions. The weight of the secret I carried suddenly felt almost unbearable, and the stress was too much for me.What was that look she gave me?Why did she smile like that?My palms felt clammy and my heart was racing at the thought of what could be going on in Alora’s head.“I know you don’t like it when I snoop too much in your business but who do I have to kill for you to smile again?” Seff asked, making me snap my gaze towards him. I had forgotten for a moment that he was there when he was the reason why I was so worried.“Yourself,” I scowled, huffing and getting up from my bed to go and splash some water on my face.Seff frowned at my words when he heard me say that. It was almost as if he had been a real dog with the way I could visibly see him droop at my anger. His eyes widened to the puppy dog look and in a soft voice he asked, “I wouldn’t mind doing that for you but let me try and rectify my mistakes first.”It was th
*LYCIA*It was difficult for me to handle Seff every time that he changed from an innocent clingy puppy to a horny wolf. The main reason behind it was simple; I couldn’t resist this side of his. That intensity in those gorgeous blue eyes and the huskiness in his voice.I was a fucking simp when it came to these things.Not to forget the mate bond didn’t help the case to begin with.With just his single statement the barrier that I had been holding up, crumbled. It was said that sometimes magic fluctuated and worked differently when the consciousness and subconscious will of a person was at war inside. Did it mean that subconsciously I wanted him to fuck me here?How big of a pervert did I become to be unable to control my magic?It was clear by the way Seff stared at me that he hadn’t expected this as well. He looked taken aback and with a nervous expression he said, “Should I take it as an invitation? Are you finally accepting me?”No!My mind screamed but with the sun strikingly br
*SEFF*“The only reason I agreed to it is because you wouldn’t quit whining,” Lycia said huffing as she jogged along the road, her face sweating from the heat of the afternoon sun. I was captivated by her beauty. Her cheeks were tinged in redness, and her hair held to the slopes of her neck with wet tendrils.“Why are you staring at me? Do I stink?” she asked suddenly aware of the condition she was in. It was natural after a run for people to work up a sweat. Almost a week had passed since we last went on that walk and had coincidentally met her aunt. Since then Lycia had made it a point for the two of us to be locked in her room all day and although I didn’t hate the time we spent together the wolf part inside me was starting to miss the outdoors, feeling claustrophobic in that room.“No, you don’t stink at all,” I chuckled when I saw her stare at me in disbelief while wiping away some sweat from her forehead, “In fact I quite like your smell right now.”Her natural brightness and he
*LYCIA*Fuck!Why was it Alora that had to find us?“Are you going to take us inside to tell Mom about everything?” I asked, finally finding my voice although even then my brain was working on overdrive.Of course she would tell Mom why would she leave this chance to bring me down?“Your mother isn’t home right now. So how about we have a talk alone first?” she asked and with no other option but to agree I walked in after her with Seff following close behind.“I am sorry,” I heard him whisper and even though I wanted to shout at him, to tell him that this was exactly what I had been fearing for the last week I couldn’t blame him.Knowing Alora, if she had put her mind to it then she would have found one way or the other to barge into my room and find the truth about Seff.Walking through my house I noted that it had been especially quiet letting me know that no one was home in reality. At least it meant I still had a few minutes of peace before any bloodshed took place and that I need
*LYCIA* My heart skipped a beat when I sensed my mother’s familiar and strong aura approaching the house. At once I panicked, snapping out of the strange conversation that I had with Alora. I still didn’t exactly know where exactly Mom had gone and why was Alora home but I couldn’t trust her yet to actually keep her mouth shut. For all I know she might be waiting for me to lower my guard so that she could rat me out to her. Rushing out of my room I motioned for Seff to hide inside and into my closet. My palms felt wet as I pushed him in and worked my magic to clear the air of any of his scent while replacing it with the smell of roses. I had to cover up any evidence of his presence. There was concern in Seff’s eyes as the huge Lycan crouched and sat in the cramped space. With everything that was happening I was relieved to know that he wasn’t questioning me and simply following what I silently guided him to do. “Please just stay like this and if you hear that my mother is angry an
(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
