Dave's POV "Have you heard the rumours?" A young palace maid asked her friend who were sitting on the ground in their human forms. The moon was still up in the sky, so werewolves wandered about aimlessly while some hunted. I watched the shifting activities from up the oak tree where I rested enjoying the night breeze."What rumours?" The friend ask, her interest piqued. I was not interested in the hunt, I just needed the fresh night air and the woods was willing to host me. It wouldn't be bad to enjoy the night sky with some sweet palace gossip. If only Lupe was here, it would add to the fun, I'd get to tease her and enjoy the luxury of seeing her blush and those white teeth of hers."About the breeder." The first maid said flopping down beside her friend. I went still, was Lupe fine? Did brother hurt her again?My heart began to pound, I hated seeing her cry, it would make me hurt too, she was the little sister I never had and one I wished to protect from everyone including him; my
Adrian's POV "Summon Cenat immediately!" I was trembling in anger as the guards all took to their heels in search of my Beta. That stupid breeder!My shoulders shook with anger as I paced back and forth the room. She dares think about us being together? what a sad joke! The audacity of her to dream of being my queen! Why should those damned deities decide who we ought to be with? Why on earth do they have that authority over us? I know just how much the deities hated me but this is just too much. First of all, it was the curse, I had to go through the stress of finding a wolf born on the night of a purple moon, just when I fucking managed to find one, it turned out that the weakling was barren. And now what? The moon goddess decided to make her my mate.Without thinking, I buried my fist into the wall. The foundation shook from the impact. She must be crazy to think she was worthy enough to be my luna. "Where is Cenat?!" I screamed, I could barely stand still.Hurried footstep
Sebastian's pov‘Lupe got rejected by the King?’ I smirked.Things were going my way without me trying. Being the first son of the last King, I was furious when the King willed the throne to my little brother, Adrian, instead. I might not be his first son from his luna, but I was his blood. Mother had been furious when she heard the announcement of the heir. She had thrown a fit, trying to enter the pack to confront my father but she was stopped. I could recall the day as though it was just yesterday, a day to the coronation, I had been so excited that I was going to be the next king, mother had sent numerous letters and in each of them, she addressed me as her Lycan King. Oh, the thrill I felt was unexplainable. The entire pack and inhabitants of other packs under the Lycanthropy were all present, waiting to hear the announcement of their King. My heart kept beating fast, but I was ready. I was waiting patiently to be announced as the King, it was my birth right. I was prepared
Adrian's POV "You almost killed that boy. He's just a child." Cenat said. "I allowed my emotions go ahead of me." I replied still trying to let off aome steam. "What is this all about?" He asked, "Why do you need another breeder?" He asked. I sent him a look, "Do you have to ask that?" I asked in return. "I do." Came his firm reply. "I know just how much trouble we all went through to find that girl." I wasn't in the mood for Cenat's lecture."I just don't want her anymore." I replied. "You don't have to want her, just get her pregnant and that's all." "You think I haven't tried?!" The anger was back. He raised his brow, I knew what he was trying to do, he wanted me to flare up and say everything. That bastard knew me so well."I have poured almost a gallon of my seeds into her yet she haven't taken in, she isn't even showing any symptoms. It's making me seem as though I'm just wasting my time." A tearstained face flashed through my head. "Is that what the problem is really?
Adrian POV Kyna stared at me with misty eyes, "What are you waiting for then?" She asked. I sent her my favourite smirk, "This will be the best night of your life." Her face turned red instantly, the dim lights in the room gave her a different kind of glow. I pushed back the loc of hair that strayed on her face. "You're beautiful Kyna." "You're beautiful yourself." She muttered. "Men aren't beautiful, we are tough beings." I said taking her lips with mine. She tasted just as usual, sweet and salty. My tongue pried her lips, parting them for entrance, she obliged drawing me in. Her hands wandered aimlessly on my back, they grazed up and down my spinal cord sending strong waves of current to my dick. I became hard instantly. My hands circled her waist pulling her up so she could sit on my hardness. Willingly, she obeyed."This is what you do to me Kyna." I sent a nudge to her sweet spot. She released a hungry gasp.I knew without doubt that she was wet down there, she was achin
Lupe's povIt was three days after he had not only rejected me, but had totally embrassed me. I was still indoors, not once did I dare show my face. Even when Kyna had come hitting the door and threatening to break it down, I still did not leave my position. Dave kept on knocking to see if I was fine, Sarah came twice to threaten me to resume my duties or I will be flogged yet not once did I reply anyone. They stopped after trying for two days. Adrian's harsh voice kept replaying in my head, I willed for it to go away but stubbornly it stayed."I hate him!" I screamed with tears streaming down my face. I know I shouldn't cry, but I couldn't help it. A part of me had been prepared that day for his rejection but a larger part of me wanted him to accept me. "I was so foolish." I sniffled, "why did I think that he could change? He's nothing more than a beast, he had taken me forcefully under his custody and had forced his way into me." "It's all my fault." Leah muttered, her voice was
Sebastian POV Mother was right, Adrian was cursed. His curse was his downfall and it was my uprising.I stared at the white wolf that gazed at her reflection on the flowing stream with an excited yet uncertain expression on her face. I made sure to stay hidden in the woods. Adrian was a fool to reject her, I didn't care about her personality or anything; I just needed to win her over until she falls head over heels for me. According to the rumours, she had yet to conceive and this was the best time to strike. I would get her to love me, make love to her and have her carry my pup instead. Mother had said that all I need to do was to persuade the breeder, she was one special wolf. 'Did you forget how she rejected you the other day, saying that she belonged to the King?' A voice in my head said wanting to ruin my momemt. "I don't care about that, since when have I followed the rules?" I asked in return without taking my eyes off her. Her wolf released a soft howl into the night wi
Lupe's POV Today, I finally decided that I was totally done crying over the Lycan King, I was done sulking so I needed a break. Last night at the woods, I had perceived something so dark and evil, I felt as though it was watching my every move, it made me uncomfortable but I was not afraid. I knew something inside me had changed. Leah's transformation had nor only left me stunned, it had made me fearless too. My bones felt stronger than before.I walked to the bathing room with my belongings in my free hand and a bucket of water in the other. "Do you think the bath chambers will be free?" I asked Leah."It should be, the day is still very much young." She answered. She was right, I had woken up very early in the morning to take my bath to avoid running into people with curious gaze. I was still a little sceptical about meeting people. I glanced at the sky, it was pitch dark. "Seems like the night is still fresh." I murmured. "We woke up really early." Leah replied then released
Lupe's POV Adrian's eyes searched mine as though he was expecting me to say it's all a joke. Fiona cleared her throat moving forward, "She couldn't tell you and I believe you know the reason why." Adrian was silent, our eyes held each other's, trying to decipher what the other was thinking. "I believe the pain you felt was a mild contraction, the child is still a little early to come." The healer went on oblivious of the tensed atmosphere in the room, either that or he deliberately choose to ignore it and get the hell out. "Say something Adrian." Fiona said, Alex was behind her. "Fiona, I think it's best we give them some space." Alex placed his arm around her shoulder to usher her out but she shook him off. "I'm not leaving." "I am so stupid." Adrian muttered as he fell slowly to his knees and both his hands on my laps. "I.. I.. I shouldn't have made love to you last night, I hurt you and the baby." He looked really scared. Alex cleared his throat, "That's sounds very person
Lupe's POV I laid on the bed with my eyes fixed on the ceiling, last night was wonderful, it first like my first time. Adrian was gentle as a dove but at the same time he gave me the pleasure I desired. He looked and sounded sincere, but a part of me was still skeptical about trusting him. He requested that all my things be moved to his chambers. He was moving at a very fast pace that it was almost scary. "He's sincere." Leah whispered. "I feel so too, but it's hard." I replied rolling over to face the window. "It's not that difficult, you humans tend to make issues harder than it really is." I knew she was shaking her head at me."It has to do with emotions Leah, he has hurt me for so long, but I'm willing to give us a chance." I replied, but it turns out explaining things about feelings and emotions was almost useless to a wolf. "He said he was sorry and his wolf wants me too, so let bygones be bygones." She replied."You never disliked him did you?" I asked teasingly. "Of co
Adrian's POV She was a temptation I couldn't resist. Perhaps it was because I was beginning to see her in a different light. She looked very beautiful, the moon light glowed in her skin illuminating her beauty and giving her a pretty and fearless goddess glow. "You're coming or not?" She asked with a seductive look in her eyes. "Are you sure about this?" I asked walking towards her. "You're in or out?" Not wanting her to change her mind, I hurried towards the bath tub. Slowly, I stepped into it sitting across her. Her breasts looked heavier than I remembered, her nipples were red and pointy. "Lupe.." my throat was dry. My body ached to reach to hers and show her just how much I needed her and how sorry I was for being a brute all these while.She went down into the rose water, then pulled herself up with water dropping down her hair. Unable to hold my urges any longer, I moved closer to her pressing my body into hers, my arms circled around her tiny waist pulling her closer to
Lupe's POVHis lips were soft yet they press down roughly against mine. His arms drew me in softly, pulling me into his masculine warmth. When he pulled back, we were both panting. My eyes were fixed on his, they were fillled with an emotion that resembled admiration and something else. "Do you know how long I've wanted to kiss you like that?" His voice was low, eyes never leaving mine.Not knowing what to say, I remained silent. "I hate ruining the moment, but you need to hurry, Dave is barely hanging on." Beta Cenat said holding his infested shoulder. He was shot with the same poison as Adrian. "You're one to talk when you're wounded too." I frowned. "I'm hanging on, attend to Dave first, the army and I will move the bodies and kill any survivors." He replied.At the mention of survivors, it finally dawned on me that I was drenched in blood from head to toe. I reeked of the rogues rotten blood. Bile rose up to my throat. "I don't think anyone would survive this though." This t
Lupe's POV My hands moved faster than steel. It sliced through the rotten fleshs of the rogues and the hunters. My eyes were fixed on the gates, I need to save Dave before it was too late. I needed to fight without facing the danger of hurting my pup, fighting in my human form was not helping, the hunters were strong, they fought till their last breathe. Whatever Sabastian promised them must be something they were willing to die for. I sensed the presense of a rogue behind me, I turned sharply. "It's you." His words were sloppy and he counted them as though he feared words. I sent him a look with one hand placed over my stomach protectively. That was becoming an habit, I needed to drop it before I get caught."Care to identify yourself?" I asked keeping my eyes on him. I noticed that we were drawing the attention of the other rogues who were moving closer to me. "That is none of your business." He snapped. My eyes scanned through the crowd in search of Adrian, but he was busy
Lupe's POV For a moment, my heart stopped then it began to beat wildly. He was staring at me with those dark eyes, I was experiencing a lot of firsts with this new Adrian, for the first time, his usual arrogant look was gone, replaced with ones that stared at me with so much intense emotions.I swallowed hard trying to calm my beating heart. "Don't do that." I said not taking my eyes off his. "Tell me what I shouldn't do." His voice was low, we were alone in the woods, surrounded by animals who crawled in the shadows and insects whose chirping was loud enough to make a deaf man hear. But for some reasons, I wasn't scared; I have never been scared of him but I once dreaded meeting him. Seeing him here all alone in the middle of nowhere, I should have been scared of what he might do to me but crazy me was tingling in anticipation. The look in those eyes was driving me crazy. "D.. I mean, don't worry about me." Damnit! Why in the name of the goddess was I stuttering?!"Why shouldn't
Adrian's pov.Her eyes were hard, I could tell that she was very worried about Dave. She must have liked him a lot, afterall, he protected her while I failed. A part of me suddenly felt jealous of him, he had someone who was very worried about him. "I can't have you risk your life Lupe, I will find a way to bring Dave here, I think that's better and safer." I said not moving an inch from where I stood."You think?" She scoffed at me. My jaw dropped in disbelief, "I.. I think it's less dangerous." "Let's say we do it the way you want, on your way back to the palace, you get shot by the same poisonous arrows, then you bring Dave out into that horrible battle field, risking his life. Woah, very brillant idea." She clapped.Instantly, I felt so foolish for the first time, "You're right, it's too risky." "What are you both planning to do?" Fiona appeared at the door, I could tell she had been eavesdropping. "We are leaving Fiona, I'm sorry it's sudden, but thank you for everything." L
Lupe's POV Instantly his hands fell off my waist, I picked myself up."What games are you trying to play your highness?" I drawled the last part as I folded my arms watching him. He pushed himself up, "games?" He asked looking confused."Yes, if you think I'd easily fall into your trap, then you better have a rethink." My hands were trembling in anger. There was no way he would suddenly come searching for me to apologize for his wrong doings especially not after I heard his harsh words the day I left the palace."Lupe, I am not playing any games, I came here to plead for your forgivness and ask that you return with me to the pack." He said. "Return to hell?" I scoffed, "You're kidding." "What can I do to make you believe me Lupe?" He asked. "How can I believe any word you say when you were so ready to have the guards throw me out? Aren't I the bitch you hated? I decided to save myself the shame by leaving in my own accord." I spat at him.His face dropped, "You heard." It sounde
Lupe's POV All eyes in the room turned to face me, including him. I must be crazy walking towards the same man I ran away from in my own accord. But I couldn't let him die. I overheard him talking to Fiona pleading to see me for some unknown reasons, he sounded desperate. "Are you sure about this Leah?" I asked as I walked towards wondering if I could really heal what the healer couldn't. "Yes, all he needs is your blood to cleanse his contaminated one." She explained. Fiona turned to me with guilty eyes, "I'm sorry Lupe, I don't know how he found out."I sent her a smile, "It's fine." I knew it would take him only a couple of hours to find me. To be honest, a part of me came here hoping we'd cross paths someday. "Lupe, can we talk?" Adrian asked. For the first time since I knew him, he was being polite, not the usual jerk that I was used to.I remained silent avoiding his gaze. "Can you help me with a knife?" I turned to the maid standing by the door."Yes my lady." She bowed
