Miatta “You're late,” I announced, hearing his footsteps coming closer. I had been there for more than three minutes and I hated being kept waiting. Oddly, he didn't say a word and I was beginning to doubt that it was he behind me but I knew his scent. Lycans had a distinct scent but his was different; I could tell it from the rest. It reminded me of fresh wood and pine cones, a nostalgia of home. “You came. I didn't think you would,” he opined, coming to stand beside me. He was at least two and a half heads taller than me, an edge over me it appeared. He hid his hair underneath that pile of cloth again and it was done so precariously that if I tugged hard, it would come undone. My perusal continued below, observing that for they four times he and I had met, he had been wearing the same clothes, which either meant he was a stranger or an intruder. I ended my examination and sighed ostentatiously to get his attention. He stared blankly at me, like I had woken him up from some drea
Miatta Luke escorted me to the dark room and I was panting like a dying horse. Blood pumped in my ear and my heart rate quickened of its own accord. I could barely control my steps and my eyes kept sliding short. In all my life, I had lived with my brothers and so, I had never seen a wolf in heat. Perhaps I would have known what to do and how to react to the whole phase. Goddess knows my mother had probably only copulated to bear children. Imagining her beneath my father brought on some waves my body was not ready to handle at the moment. “Um..Luke..I –I can't go on. I need to sit down.” I was feeling drowsy and I sat down on a rock. The night was still dark and no one could see us unless they made use of their harnessed adaptations. Moreover, the stone statues of past Lycans Kings and the evergreen trees were enough coverage for us. “No. No, Miatta. I need to get you back to your room. You are in heat and I don't want to defile you even though you would really want me to. It’s lik
Miatta Group Blue worked together in silence, mindful of where we were but my thoughts were scattered in various directions. Addy's words, all she had told me about being in heat had all manifested when I had been with Luke. At last, she had asked to know the events of the previous night: “Miatta...why do you ask? What happened last night?” she asked to satisfy your curiosity. I was not comfortable with telling Addy things anymore because that Addy was not the Addy I made friends with. The new Addy spent relatively more time speaking with the members of Group Brown. She and their leader had hit it off, mostly seen together. Ramona suffered from the situation the most, spending her time alone crying or being picked on. I gave her only bits of the main story to whet her appetite for information. “I met with Luke yesterday and I think I was in heat. However, because I had not experienced it before, I wanted to make sure I had made the right guess. Thank you, Addy for the help.” “A
Miatta I hadn't meant to say those words but immediately they left my lips, I couldn't take them back. He wanted me, the Lycan Prince wanted me and I knew it. The knowledge of that gave me a kind of confidence that I thought I had lost. His eyes traced every movement of my legs and I made sure he saw how wet I was. I was supposed to hate him and I was attracted to Luke too but I could not understand why I was drawn to this monster. He had placed a collar on me and limited my wolf yet I was wet because of him. The monster leaned against the wall, stroking himself and I wanted to see what he was hiding in there. “Don't tempt me, Miatta. I won't be held responsible for what I would do to you,” he darkly replied, breathing heavily. I rose from my knees slowly, allowing him to look his fill. I wouldn't let him have his way with me however; I just wanted to tease him a little. I sauntered to him, taking my time and enjoying his attention. He didn't move a muscle, waiting for me to make my
Lucas I paced my room angrily, stomping my feet as I went along. The ground shook underneath me and my bed rattled but I cared less. They could not contend with the storm raging inside of me. I had asked to be left alone and so far, no one had bothered me. I didn't want to see or speak to anyone. She liked someone else? How was I supposed to take that? My hands were shaking and I wanted to tear something, anything apart in order to steady them. She couldn't like someone else; she didn't have the right to. But she wasn't mine either and I had no say over whom she could love or not. Then, why did her words haunt me so? It was early afternoon and birds perched on my sill, chirping cheerful tunes. I was not in the mood to pay any attention to them so I shooed them away and laid on my bed. A cool breeze circulated round my room, aerating the ambience and reducing the heat of the afternoon. I threw an arm across my eyes, shielding it from the fierce sunlight. “My Lord,” Ryker suddenly
Miatta By the time I rejoined my group, they were done with our task and had returned to the room. Elena was royally pissed off. “Where were you, Miatta? You skipped off the minute we began. I get that you are a princess but you are also a part of a group. You can't just run off simply because you hate doing the dishes. We are in this together. The next time you..” “I was with the prince!” I suddenly blurted, my only defence. She went mute for seconds, apparently surprised. That foolish confidence I felt sometimes filled me and I stood tall, full of myself. The others who had heard me drew nearer to get the full tale. Any topic related to the royal lycanthrope was usually a treat to their ears. “You were with the Lycan Prince? Whatever for?” She questioned, doubt evident in her tone. I couldn't tell her I had wandered as far as the Hall of Kings because it would mean that I had lied about wanting to use the bathroom. I reasoned that I could make up anything about my encounter wi
Miatta Lucas... “Don't play dumb, Miatta. Everyone saw Yvette talking to you. What did she want?” she repeated, cocking her head towards mine. I wasn't totally comfortable with sharing the truth with Addy anymore ever since her transformation but she knew things that I needed to know.That was his name and I could have sworn that I had heard that name before. Addy had let the name slide once when we had been speaking and she had called him by name. I dared to raise my head a little but no further. I was in this situation because Luke had stupidly nabbed my collar in my sleep and Ryan had spilt her guts to Yvette under duress. Unfortunately for me, Desdemona had not forgotten my fallout with her and had gone to Beta Logan immediately. The Lycan King was not pleased with the interruption and I had a feeling he would have thrown us out of his court but for the presence of his beta. “My King, you put Prince Lucas in charge of Miatta after he saved her life. Now that she has broken a sla
Lucas I set out with Ryker, in search of answers to my many questions. There was only one person I knew who could give me what I needed but I had some misgivings as well. She and my father were not in good terms and by proxy, neither were the both of us. My father had used her at a time when his lust for her had burnt hot and when the flames were out, he had cast her aside. However, they had made a child together, a daughter, one of untold mystic powers. She was my half-sister but I was taught by my father to hate my half-sister and my stepmother. One day, a prophecy came concerning my half-sister and for fear of what the prophecy foretold, my father forced his concubine to put a binding spell on her own daughter and turned her to a slave afterwards. By the time I had discovered the truth, Adrianne was put in the slave quarters where she would spend the rest of her life. “My Lord, if I may ask, where are we headed?” Ryker asked. He had his weapons with him and I could handle any t
