The light was too bright, she thought to herself as she tightened her eyes. She slowly raised her hand to cover her eyes so that she could open them. She squinted them open, only to see talk trees surrounding her. A quick memory of her sitting alone in the Dark Forest swiped past her vision and she jerked up instantly, looking frantically. How did she reach here?She narrowed her eyes at the distance between the trees and she glanced around, the memories since last night came back in a rush and her chest constricted so tight that she had to grip it.Bond... it was the bond. She instantly scrambled to her feet. Her mate was getting married to another today. Without wasting more time, she started for the Hall. She ran as fast as she could even if she knew nothing could be done. She slowed down when she got to the place where people gathered. She looked lost. What was happening? Why was everyone gathered at a point as if someone unusual had come?"I can't believe the Lycan King gave him
I bathed the woman who will be bedding my mate tonight. Cleaned her with the best oils and styled her hair in the most attractive way. I made her look like heaven under this beautiful dark night. It was painful. My heart constricted in my chest with pain. It was hard to control the tears from falling. I watched how she smiled at every glance at herself in the mirror. I could not help but curl my fist into a ball. I never had a story and will never. At least not with him or even... anyone. It was just me. A 'me' that is just useless to him. I have lost my mate. My only means of salvation. I am now bound in captivity. ~NYX~ **** Griselda flipped her hair to the back, her body glistened with oils that maids had used on her. She loved the way she scented and how the lycan ornament suited her. She rose to her feet, the transparent gown she was wearing splayed out behind her and she looked at Nyx who had no expression on her face. "Is everything prepared?" She asked. "Yes, Your Highn
The next morning, Zenith left for his study room because of the pain he was feeling from his side. The injury did not seem to be healing at all and it was causing sweat to form on his forehead.Mathias hurried inside and quickly locked the door. Rushing towards him, he saw how Zenith gripped the desk before him like he was going to tear it apart."How... you..." He did not know what to even say. Zenith looked up at him, his chest heaving with heavy breaths and his eyes reddening."Let me get the doctor." He suggested but Zenith shook his head, using his hand to stop him. Mathias bit his lip in apprehension."What should I do then? You can't shift. Your beast won't let you." He said, tapping his feet against the ground."Get... her." He managed to say, earning a confused look from Mathias."Who?" He asked, hoping it was not who he was thinking."That omega slave," Zenith replied with a bite, holding his side and falling back on his chair."Zenith, you know how dangerous it is for her...
The Lycan King is healed!Words spread like fire in the palace and it had the Royal doctors rushing into the study room like a miracle had happened. The female doctor who had taken it upon herself to treat Zenith stood shocked and confused. Medically, there was no way he could have been healed this fast with what he had taken on his wedding day. Something was suspicious and she could not decipher it.“What are you thinking about?” Mathias had noticed the way she was looking at them so he walked up to her and asked her.“Is there something His Royal Highness is not letting us know?” She asked him pointedly.Mathias’s brows arched a bit at her tone of speech. “What-?”“I’m sorry. I should not have spoken that way but it would be nice if the King could tell how he got healed. It would help with our medical research.” She said, suddenly raising her voice and taking a step forward, away from Mathias who shared a look with Zenith and Divine who had not left since.Zenith looked at her and sa
Days had passed since the wedding and it was the last day of the wedding feast, Zenith had been too busy with dealings with the blight issues he could hardly join while Selda had been roaming the palace to check how it was and the respect she had been getting was overwhelming. Even though the person she wanted the kind of respect from was ignoring her, it was just a matter of time, she said to herself.She walked down the stairs, her heels clicking against the ground. Her brother, Lionel, was leaving today. She has been refusing to meet him since the wedding day because she did not want to spark any rumors. It was at this point, that she knew she had to be careful about who she met, Soli had warned her like she did not know.Getting to where Lionel was, she stopped and watched Mathias who stared at Lionel head-on. Glancing around, she noticed Zenith was not here to send his in-laws home. Anger coursed through her veins at his arrogance. She faced her brother and managed to smile. “Hope
“We are ready, Your Majesty,” Soli informed her as she stepped in and bowed before her. Griselda gave a jerk of her head and pushed herself up. She had decided that she would visit the streets and see how the land was. She wondered how she never thought of checking around while she was still new to the palace and before she became Queen. Right now, she did not even feel like a queen yet which she hoped would change.“Okay.” With that, they stepped outside and the carriage was ready. One of the guards helped her in and she settled fully inside. Requesting for just two guards to escort her, they began the journey.She slid her window open, and looked into the streets. These were the Lycan lands. They were different. Different from the werewolf. The difference was clear and for once, she was scared. Scared that she might not be able to rule these people. Yes, that was her purpose. To rule these people. A werewolf Princess ruling over Lycans… it will be the first in history forever. She wi
The maids rushed forward, everyone was scrambling around as Griselda walked majestically into the throne room. Today was the day when she would be officially introduced as the Queen Of Lycans. She will be given that title as their leader and head. Except she planned to attain more. Make these people bow as she walked past them in fear. The smile that always took over her lips and the happy glint that always covered her face was back and for a second, what the people did to her the other day was not long making her boil. It was one of the things she was going to deal with. She will show them how she wants to rule them."Lady Griselda is here!" The Herald announced and everyone rose to their feet. The seven elders shared a look at how beautiful and different she looked. Zenith was yet to be in the throne room."Your Majesty." The Seven Elders bowed in greeting. For the first time, she caught a slip of something familiar from them but she could not point out what it was. She was helped in
“How dare he?!” She screamed out angrily, pushing everything off her desk. The glass shattered on the floor and the maids flinched except for Soli who just watched her with fixated gaze on her.Griselda’s eyes were wide open with her flared nose, oozing smoke literally. “He had me checked for some blight. How dare—”“Your Majesty,” Soli rushed forward and grabbed her hands, holding her back from pushing some things down. Selda froze, surprised that someone had dared to hold her.“You-” A slap followed after and Soli hit her bottom on the floor before scrambling up to kneel before her.“You need to calm down, Your Majesty.” She pleaded.Selda’s hands trembled so hard that her claws began to elongate. The maids immediately fell to the ground, shivering in fear.“Your Majesty, you need to relax. The Lycan King must not hear of your outburst.” Soli warned her again, not minding that she has just received a slap from her mistress.Slowly, her claws began to retract and she let out a deep br
