"What do you think of Arcadia, Shaun? We've been here for days. You've met so many people.. I mean lycanthropes like yourself. How does it make you feel?" Austin said as she wrapped her arms around mine.
She looked at me with her calm brown eyes as she smiled to me as if she's telling me, that whatever I would do from this moment, she would support me with all her might.
"What do you mean? Of course it does made me so happy." I bluntly said.
Austin smiled and shakes her head. "Do you like it here? I mean living here? Spending the rest of your life here in Arcadia?"
I paused. That had me thinking. Do I like it here to the point of living here in Arcadia? Does my heart really belong here where the others of our kind live? Can I live here, leaving the only place that made me feel so safe all these years? Can I really left Orion just to live here in Arcadia?
I've lived in Orion for years. I've made so many friends and created so many me
One thing is for sure. Everyone around me since I was a child, including Loki and Priam kept something from me.Priam, not even once talked about who my parents was or if they are even alive. He raised me like I am his own, but he never did told me that I am his child. And I like that about him.He never really kept it a secret. He would bluntly tell me that I am not his child, just like that. But, whenever I would asked him who my parents was, Priam would only shut me up by saying, "You're parents are an amazing pair of people." And after that, he would just shrugged his shoulders and would pretend that he didn't heard anything. And up until now, I have no idea who the fuck my parents are. It was as if I existed in this world without a father and a mother. I thought coming back here, in Hellas would finally give me a chance or would open up an opportunity to know or discover even just a little bit about my damn parents. Who are they, where are
After bluntly blurting out that Shaun is the only child of the former king, Lycaon, Priam dragged him along with Winter, Loki and Austin into a chamber deep within the palace where no one has ever been.It was a chamber in the old building of the palace where the late King Lycaon spend almost all his free time when he was still alive. It was the nearest building to the forest of Lycto. And it was located right at the middle of the main building and the very forest. "P-Priam! You need to explain everything to me first!" Shaun shouted but he did not received any reply from Priam, who only continued on pulling him."Where the hell are you dragging me without explaining a damn thing after telling me that kind of thing!?" Shaun exclaimed, pulling Priam's arms hoping to stop the latter from dragging him into an unknown place. But Priam is so damn strong. Even after exerting so much effort in stopping him, Shaun didn't even managed to make him stop. Pr
"So you knew all about it? Even before you saw that night?" he asked as he squeeze my hand. I smiled at him as I nodded my head in response. "It's not that I knew all about it right at the bat, but Grey gave me a handful of clues and such." I said, leaning my head to his shoulder as we walked through the grass barefooted. After leaving the secret chamber of his father, Shaun didn't want to let me go unless I tell him everything right from the start. When U discovered that he is a lycanthrope, if I know about the Lycaea and Priam's camouflage in this kingdom and the coming battle.He said, he wouldn't leave me alone and would continue to pester if I won't tell him a thing or two. Not that it bothers me having him around, but I thought I need to let him know to give him some peace. "So you knew?" he said, looking at me with such a betrayed look on his face. I pinched his soft cheeks as I wrapped my arms around his arms, "I would lie if I say I do
"When will the prince will arrive, Lupus? We don't have enough time. Our clock is ticking." A man who looks like in his twenties said, rocking his chair back and forth as he looked at Priam. "But, honestly I just want to see him. I mean, the son of the great king Lycaon!" he said suddenly standing up, smiling widely from ear to ear."That's what I wanted to ask. Didn't you already tell him his current situation and the kingdom's? I mean, given that he was supposedly the king, he should give this a lot of attention." "Oh, come on Erythro!" Winter said, smacking Erythro's back lightly as he laughed. "Can't you spare the prince from all of these expections? I mean, he's new to all of this. He was in awe just by looking at our kingdom. Look at Tempo, can't you relax like him?" he said, pointing to Tempo who's still standing while both of his hands are on the table, looking like an excited child."Can't you blame me, Winter?" Erythro said rubbing his b
"This is Silver. I'm sure you already know her." Priam said. "She have been helping me ever since. She's one of the former paladins of your father, king Lycaon." he said as he points to Silver. "Yeah, I already saw her in the hall when prince Tyler bought me there." Shaun said nodding his head to Silver, "but I just want to know something." he paused. Silver slowly raised her head and looked at Shaun, "what is it, your majesty? I would gladly answer anything you want to know. Just tell me, your majesty. It would be an honor to be of any use to you." she said, bowing her head again. Shaun looked down on her with a flushed cheek. He's still not used to being call as a 'prince' or a 'majesty'. It feels as if he was in an unimaginable dream. A magnificent and wonderful dream. Something about the whole situation makes his heart to race so much. "Yo-you didn't have to be that formal wi-with me." Shaun said scratching the back of his neck. "I f
I never really spend my time strolling around the kingdom. I was always whether in the shadows or in a dark corner, watching the people around me. So how come I am walking around the palace as a chaperone to the prince? "Do you know what I hate the most about my father, the king, Winter?" the prince suddenly said smiling as he looked at me with his sad and lonely eyes. "May I know what is it, your highness? You seem to be troubled these past few days. And how I wish I could help you with that." I said, putting my hands together in silence.The prince stopped walking and turned to one of the windows in the hallway of the palace. He looked to the horizon with an unexplainable expression plastered on his face. He really does seem to be troubled by something. He nodded his head countless of times as if he was talking to someone. "His cruel antics, his temper, his principles and his greed. He's a great father but he appear to be a selfish and
"Aren't you scared?" she said, looking at me with her beautiful eyes.Her face is glowing, having it exposed under the sunlight that's coming from the window of this cabin, she sure is really beautiful. Even her shadow is as beautiful as her.God, I really love this woman.I could hear the beat of my heart along with the chirp of the bird outside of this cabin. Without doing anything, without saying anything, she's really turning my world upside down, making a mess in my mind.Austin's hair is swayed as the wind blew in our direction. I felt my heart clenched as I watched her. She was like a beautiful painting. Something that could make someone stunned by its beauty."Scared? About what?" I said as I reached for her soft cheeks and lightly pinched it.Austin leaned to my hands and I know, in that moment when our met, I fell in love again. Watching her smiling to me as she nodded her head. There's no other scenery I could ever w
"What are you doing here, your highness!?" Silver said in complete surprise upon seeing the prince right before their eyes. Everyone were frozen as they kept their head down except for a few people; Loki, Priam, Silver, Shaun, Austin and Justin. Their eyes were filled of confusion as it were locked to the prince, as if seeing him is both a miracle and a nightmare. Prince Tyler's chiseled body were covered in blood and wounds. The bite marks on his whole body only made him to look more frightening than he already was. But unlike how he looked, he seems to be in a good mood as he smiled the moment he saw familiar faces he wanted to see. He walked towards the table and pulled a chair and crossed his arms as he sat down and looked at Silver. "Why? Why are you all looking at me like that? Are you that displeased to see me now, Silver? Should I not be here? Or are you thinking of killing me upon seeing you having this suspicious meeting? Exact
