Chapter 51: Orion or Arcadia?
Last Updated:
2021-12-28 22:32:59"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

Through Love and Instinct Chapter 52: Reunion
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

"So, what's your plan now?" I said as I swing my sword towards his direction.He easily evaded it as he laughed at my question. "To tell you honestly, I don't have any sort of plans or goals." he laughed as he pushed me using his sword, "I just want to live a peaceful life.""You could stay here." I quickly bend down when I saw him powerfully swinging his sword horizontally towards me. "I mean, you should. Your father's here. You could do whatever you want to do as you stay here too."Tyler chuckled and shakes his head.

At least that's how I knew him based on the stories."It was my turned now to laughed at him as I threw some daggers to him. "He's not like that at all. I mean that's what Priam told me."

"How.. co-could you.. d-do this.. to me?" I said as I felt a burning sensation all through out my entire body. "I've trust..I've trusted you.."My eyes laid to Austin's crying face. She is trembling and I could see the fear plastered on her pale face. She looks so miserable as she keeps on struggling, trying to escape from the tight rope that is tied around her body.It was too tight to the point of it almost dragging her skin every time she would move or squirm, trying to get out from it."Sh-Shaun..

Her face is a mess.I clenched my fists and turned to glared at Veto, "How could..

Lycaea.It was a ceremony to honor the alpha and the coming king of the kingdom. For Arcadians, it is the most important gathering everyone has been waiting.To give their loyalty to their alpha, to honor his existence and to give their life in the service of their chief, there's no other things that they could've ever ask for.But unlike any other ceremony and gatherings inside the kingdom, Lycaea is only allowed to the members of the Executives as well as to the higher-ranking officials of the kingdom.So, the question is, why would the kingdom, especially Veto, would agreed to the trouble of setting up such an important ceremony for Shaun?Given the fact that he is the only child of the former king, Lycaon. He was supposed to be the heir, and that is not a secret to the entire kingdom. So, in order to somehow give respect to that thing, Veto needed to proceed with it.And he badly need to make it for he desire even greater p

When Priam told me years ago that I was not his child and that someday, I would fulfill an important role given to me and would lead a huge kingdom in the future, I find it rather ridiculous and impossible than the feeling of being honored. I even told him that, how could a unique and indifferent child could lead something even greater and bigger than myself. How could a child with no clear origin be able to influence others and make them accept his leadership?How could I? But Priam just laughed at me as he caressed my head that time. He looked at me with a fatherly smile on his face and said, "Shaun, you're future is already determined even before you were born. Only you and the person you are destined to meet could only change that fate." he said and gave me a tapped on my back, "But I know, you would be able to change that fate, because unlike someone I know, you have a huge heart and personality to do so. And I would always watch your back until that time

I didn't know I would regret something I myself had chosen. No one really forced me to do it, but I felt like I was deceived and played. "Oh? Is that all you can do?" her voice rings into my ear. It feels so irritating and annoying. She's one of the beautiful woman I have seen here in the kingdom. Her pale skin looks so beautiful on her.She looks so surreal, almost like a heroine straight from a comic strip. Her long hair is really magnificent and soft. I wonder how can she moved that fast with that massive and long hair. "Lady Austin, is that all you can do that?" she said almost laughing, "and you dare to say you would stay with the prince forever? That must have been an impossible dream you have there, lady." she smirked as she crossed her arms over her chest. She looked down on me, almost collapsing to the ground with an annoying smile on her face. It feels as if she was judging me with those pair of eyes. And I really hate them looking at

"I heard from Lupus that you've improved, Shaun." Tyler said as he swing his sword to Shaun's direction."I mean, he looked so happy when we got to talked about it. He looked like a proud father for his son, so much that it makes all the hair on my arms and legs to raised and wave."The side of Shaun's mouth moves a little upwards as he shielded his self from Tyler's attacks with his sword. "Lupus is just overreacting." Shaun said running away from Tyler. "Well.. Should I say I did?" he said, almost laughing as he continues to evade and escapes, shielding his self from Tyler's cruel attacks with no intention of stopping. "Lupus.. was all jolly.. and all smiles when he.. talked about it." Tyler said as he continue on attacking while Shaun continues on evading and shielding. "You know the old man. He gets all happy over simple things." Shaun finally let out a surprise attack to Tyler. Tyler's cheeks were scratched and wounded a little bit.

It has been days. Aetos have committed to observe and watch Silver, Lupus along with Winter unusual change of behavior.For the past couple of days, he has been watching them. Keeping a close but discreet distance from them. But unfortunately, he has found nothing. Instead, he noticed that indeed, Lupus and Silver is always together. Sometimes they are training with prince Shaun, there are times with them talking to Winter but several times with only themselves. And that alone is quite suspicious.Lupus is not one to spend too much time with any of them. He was always alone and prefers to be alone. He was aloof and was obvious to be wary of them. 'So, what happened? Why the sudden change?' Aetos thought to himself.He wanted to prove Hamlet he was wrong on suspecting the chief of the paladins, but Lupus and Silver's closeness seems off to him as well as to Hamlet. So he can never ignored the possibility of Hamlet's suspicion being right.

"What? Is that all you can do, Shaun?" Priam laughed at me, playfully swinging his sword in the air. "You have the courage to boast that you are the only child of the great king, but look t how weak you are? Turns out, training with prince Tyler didn't do that much for you, huh?" he said. His hurtful words sting my ears so much. Sometimes, I think deep down he really mean every word. I could hear my own teeth grinding with the emotions building up inside of me.Damn! I hate this feeling. I clenched onto the shaft of my sword and took a deep breath and swing at him in a speed of a light but he easily evaded my attacks and smack me in the head using the scabbard of his sword as he laughed crazily. "Is that it?" he scoffed, "you think that would be enough to beat the king? Just like that? Don't be so foolish, your highness. Surprise attacks like that won't work to a paladin who served your father for a long time."I gritted my teeth a

"WHAT DID YOU SAY!?" Aetos exclaimed slamming his hands against the table. More than anger, his face looks more worried than anything else. "Our king confronted the odd one? Why would he do that?" he said, the veins on his arms showed as he leaned towards the other two. "That's what I heard from the king." Hamlet said crossing his arms over his chest as he looked at Aetos with a blank expression on his face. Unlike the other two; Walter and Aetos, Hamlet seems to be calm and relax. Despite hearing it directly from the king that the odd one knew about everything, he sat there without a hint of worry on his face. "After he saw prince Tyler with that odd one countless of times, he wanted to know the real reason behind that closeness. Whether it was just a simple bond or... " he paused and smiled, "or our prince betrayal.""Our prince betrayal!?" Aetos exclaimed again with such horror on his face. "Our prince would never do that to our king!"
