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

    Miatta The cell smelled like unwashed bodies and death. I could almost hear the screams of the people who had been previously held there as well. Claw marks and blood stains marred the walls, turning them black as tar. It was so small that I could not lie horizontally without my legs pushing the wall. I wasn't feeling sleepy though; I was hungry because I hadn't gotten the chance to eat before Yvette had come with the lycan guards. My stomach rumbled and if not for the collar keeping my wolf at bay, she would have clawed down the cell. I should have known that Ryan could not be trusted to keep my secret. I would have noticed she was skittish if I hadn't been distracted by thoughts of the Lycan Prince. Even he had not saved me when it came down to it. The sun was still up, the warmth of the day reaching me from where I was. The window was very far from me so the rays scattered above my head. I hated the cornmeal every other day but I could tolerate it as long as I had something to e

    Miatta Mates? It couldn't be. Could it? I let go of his shirt, trying to meditate on his unbelievable words. I was a werewolf and he was a demonic lycan. We had nothing in common: he, a cowardly prince and me, a princess turned slave. It couldn't be possible that the Moon Goddess would be that unfair to me. We were on good terms, mostly. Yet my head spun with multiple possibilities, a tiny part of me taking his words as truth, especially the part about losing my soul. My mother and I had made a conversation out of the topic of mates once. Although I had been partially embarrassed and partially impatient to return to a swordfight practice with my brothers, I got a few things from what she had to say. Mates were for life, no matter who it was. On rare occasions, twins could be mates and either had no say about the matter. The Moon Goddess was infallible and it was an abomination to think her able to err. Lucas did a full body stretch, drawing my attention to his drool-worthy body. W

    Lucas Leaving Miatta behind in that cell felt like I had chopped off an arm. It hurt like hell and my wolf rebelled against my decision, nipping at me with every opportunity it got. The organ under my pelt had remained angrily erect, making my walking quite burdensome. Mate, my wolf wept endlessly, willing me to return to that cell and claim our mate. I wanted to with every living fibre in my body but I didn't want to copulate with my mate because she was in heat and could not resist me. I wanted a cooperative Miatta, one who would give herself to me because she needed me as much as I needed her. I craved her submission as well as her permission to explore the lovely secrets of her maddening body. Kisses would never be enough to satiate me or my wolf. I discarded my disguise having exposed myself to her and thus, it didn't seem necessary to me anymore to conceal my identity. The lycan warriors bowed low in respect as I walked past, acknowledging my royal heritage. My strides came t

    MiattaHe slips his hand between my thighs leisurely, soothing the ache there with his crafty fingers. He knows just where to touch, where to fondle until I am out of breath, gasping my release. He grins at me from between my legs, his dark eyes mirroring the desire behind them and I know I am undone... “Mate,” he breathes hotly at my sensitive entrance and I buck in pleasure, reaching blindly for him.“Mate!” I scream, feeling my third orgasm coming. “Hey, wench!” a harsh voice broke into my dreams. “No screaming here. Keep your grubby mouth shut or I will stuff my phallus in it!” A fellow guard snickered at his dirty joke and they laughed at me together. I had not realized that I had been screaming. I had been dreaming about the very person I should not be dreaming about. The Lycan Prince had no room in my subconscious but he kept finding his way in, creating an accommodation I did not grant. The nature of the dreams of which he featured in disturbed me greatly because they manif

    Lucas I could smell her arousal because it was a lot more enticing when one approached the end of the heat period. Her pupils were dilated and I could take her where she lay without any objections from her. Nobody ever said no to their mate especially a wolf who was in the kind of state she was. I pulled her into my arms and she followed, forgetting how much she probably hated me. Her emotions were in control and she almost tackled me to the floor in a frenzy. “Easy, mate,” I soothed her gently, patting her soft hair. “You are my business and I am here to set you free. However, the final decision lies with my father.” Her heavy breathing diminished to a soft hum as she sat close to me. I couldn't resist wrapping my arms around her curves, a possessive move, of course but a subconscious move that I had done without even thinking about it. She was mine, all mine and I had forgiven the Moon Goddess for her meddling matchmaking. “What do you plan to do then?” she wanted to know, dipp

    Lucas I watched her sleep though it had not been induced of her own accord. Ryker had shortened her breath and brought her to me in my room. At first, when I saw her, I thought she was dead because of how limp she laid in his big arms. However, after he explained the lengths he had to go to ensure he returned with her, I took her from him and placed her where she belonged; beside me in my bed. Since then, sleep deserted me, rendering me a guard over her. I threaded her hair between my fingers, combing gently and letting the soft tresses slide away. Her scent was light as she was unconscious but once she was awake, it would fill the air with its mouthwatering vanilla aroma. Her clothes were dirty from wherever she had been, dry clumps of dirt gluing to various areas of the dress. It was ruined for sure and eventually, I had to take them off her to prevent her from developing a rash. Undressing her came with its own difficulties. She would sigh occasionally in a sensual manner and my

    “I can't believe you chose Lucas over your freedom, Miatta,” Addy kept saying over and over again after I had sent Ryker away. The pesky bodyguard had seen me on my back from the path and had suggested that I came with him. “No,” I had said to him, not taking more than a minute to make up my mind. “The festivities are over and he no longer has a reason to keep me cooped up in his room. It will be best for all if I returned to the slave room where I belong.” He was not convinced by my act of martyrdom but knowing Ryker, I was confident that he would not force me to do anything I didn't want to. He respected me not just as his master’s mate but as a person. He waited to see if I would change my mind but instead, I walked around him and continued on the route I had earlier set out. Lucas would not be pleased with him but I tried not to think about how Lucas was feeling. Bringing my roaming thoughts to the present, I saw disappointment boldly written on Addy’s face. I was disappointed

    Miatta “You can't be serious, Miatta! You want to turn back now? Think about what you are about to do!” Ramona admonished at the top of her voice. I pulled her into the shadows and slapped my palm onto her mouth. “Unless you want to be caught and dragged back to that land of bondage, I suggest you lower your tone and listen to me!” She swallowed twice, her eyes damp and became calm. When I was sure she would not break down in tears, I lifted my palm off her lips and gave her my back. I couldn't explain the feeling I was having but I just couldn't leave Red Bone Pack. My heart was there, lying asleep in the woods while my body was planning on leaving. It just didn't seem right. “Once I get you over the mountains, you will go on without me. Don't look back, don't think about this land, about Addy or me. I will be fine. Stick to the shadows and when it is dawn, run as fast as your legs can carry you. You are a wolf and you can easily find your way once you channel your senses in the

    Miatta By the time I returned to the path, I was exhausted from running all the way. My lungs were screaming at me for exercising that hard and I had to stop myself twice from falling on my face. I was still far from the secret passage and I pushed on, using my honed abilities anywhere the moonlight could not reveal to me. My conscience stabbed at me with every step I took and I starved it by thinking less of what I had done and more on what I was about to do. I would be home sooner than I ever anticipated since arriving at Red Bone Pack and I wasn't going to let my nosy, star-stricken wolf ruin it for me. Suddenly, I heard a mild rustling of leaves from somewhere behind me and I froze in place. My mind raced to conclusion that perhaps Lucas had not been sleeping after all and had trailed behind me. I gulped through a tight throat and held my breath, crouching into a squat. Whoever it was, I was determined not to be discovered. The footsteps drew closer and I peeped from where I was

    Miatta Lucas dropped into a crouch, bones snapping and rearranging within him. His shifting phase looked painful yet intriguing, drawing attention to the spectacle. Thick sheaves of hair grew out on his neck and back and he howled long into the night. It caused shivers down my spinal column as I marveled at his animalistic beauty. Suddenly, he leapt off the ground, somersaulted in mid-air and landed gracefully on all fours. His clothes were in shreds at his feet and I stood in quiet adoration. His wolf had ink-black, almost oily fur, covering him from his head to his powerful paws. He sniffed at something in the air and turned his head towards me in expectation. His eyes were darker and mystic, compelling me to do anything he asked. In either form, he was a sight to behold and I was proud he was mine, all mine. As shifters, our eyes represented the colour of our fur. The eyes were the window to the soul and our animals were our soul. Without them, one was condemned to a unfulfilled

    Miatta The festival night was heated and the excitement filled the air. Mated couples sat next to each other, necking and flirting openly while the single ones hoped for a match from the Goddess. Slabs of meat were served starting from the royal household and later, it was distributed amongst the pack. Even the slaves got a bit of everything though it wasn't in large amounts like those of the freeborns. Lucas gave me no excuses to leave his sight and was super clingy throughout the night. He decided he wanted to feed me himself and I obliged him to take any suspicions off me. He was charming and the little he knew, the better for both of us. However, I couldn't help searching the crowd for Addy. It was almost time for the free run and I had not set my eyes on either she or Ramona. My wolf was itching for action and I could feel her nipping at my guts. The lunar sensation was getting to her and I had to get away before I was pushed off by her. Our empty meal bowl lay at my side and

    Miatta My visiting hour was up and I escorted Addy and her group back to the dark room. She pulled me in for a final hug and whispered shortly in my ear: “Do not forget your promise to me.” She had asked for my word and I had given it selflessly. Addy had never asked anything of me in the past and now that she had, I didn't want to let her down. Ramona was coming with me by nightfall. There was to be a wolf run and during that period, every shifter was free to do what he pleased, slave or freeborn. Many found their mates on the day of the Moon Festival while others just mingled sexually for the fun of it, a one-night only orgy. It was at that time when everyone was distracted that I planned to leave with Ramona. On my way back, shadows had fallen along my path, protecting me from the harsh sunlight. The weather was not hot however as chilly winds clashed with each other. Goosebumps were aligned on my upper arm and I rubbed my relatively warm palms along them. I mentally made plan

    Mood SwingsMiatta “You bathed the Lycan Prince?” Ramona exclaimed, her eyes large in wonder. I grimaced, attempting a shy smile while Addy burst into laughter. “Well, he didn't give me a choice!” I retorted, wanting to defend myself. They were on garden duty but I sat with Addy, reminiscing the past events of the week. They were on garden duty but I was in a shade, discussing with Addy from there. Ramona chopped unevenly at the flowers, reminding me of the first time I had done the job. Lucas had come to my aid but then, he had been Luke to me. Subconsciously, a smile grew on my lips, my protest forgotten. “Someone is thinking of someone special,” Addy teased, using her shears skillfully like they were an extension of her arms. She was just so capable at everything, the shifter version of perfection. She juggled her brows at me, not losing sight of the shrub she was trimming. When I nodded in Ramona's direction, she twisted her neck at her understudy and gasped in horror. “Ramona

    Miatta After my bath with Lucas, I began to give more thought to returning home. I loved Lucas truly but I loved my family first. They meant the world to me and I had to see them again even if it was for the last time. Lucas was uncharacteristically quiet, giving me more time to ponder my plans. “What do you think about Beta Logan?” he suddenly asked, taking me by surprise. I didn't know why he was asking me about the sneaky lycan and so, I was unsure of what answer to give him. Personally, Beta Logan made me uncomfortable in my own skin but I couldn't tell Lucas that because it would lead to him asking more questions. “I think he is very loyal to your father.” With my back to him, I heard rather than saw Lucas approach me from behind. He tugged on my arm, pulling me onto a stool. I didn't resist him, going along with whatever he wanted. He pinched the bridge of his nose, meditating on whatever he was about to say. “Cut the crap, Miatta. I asked you what you think of him as he i
