Duncan Mirthon

His eyes grew misty as he watched her open her mouth in a silent scream and glanced down at the arrow that pierced through her chest.

"Dun-Duncan," she stammered, blood trailing down her chest, soiling her dress.

Duncan's hands began to shake, and the bow fell from his band, landing on the sandy ground. He lifted his legs and rushed to her side. Her body grew limp, and her knees buckled.

"Lara!" Duncan exclaimed, catching her in his arms when she fell.

She groaned breathlessly, shivering in his hands.

"What are you doing here?" Duncan asked, searching her face for answers with anxiety swelling in his heart. "Why did you follow me?"

"I-I-" Lara croaked, gasping for air.

Duncan glanced down at her chest. The arrow had pierced through where he supposed her heart was situated. His panic spiked, and sweat glistened on his forehead.

Slowly, green veins began to grow visible on her face. Duncan carried her in his arms and charged out of the woods, running towards the o

    Erin Grendel Erin threw a sceptical gaze at Thorlon, scanning his emotionless face to detect what was going through his mind. She peered at his forehead, squinting her eyes. "Damn it!" Erin exclaimed in her mind as she got a sharp pain, stabbing at her head. She couldn't penetrate into his mind. His mind was foggy, and it threw her into a mini disorientated state. Her vision blurred, and her pulse raced. She lowered her gaze to the floor, placing her hand on a small rock for support. After a few seconds, she was back to normal, and her vision cleared. "I do not trust him," Erin's thoughts whirled in her head. "What exactly does he want in return?" Her heart was constricted in her chest at the sad sight of Duncan and his dying sister. "I hope Thorlon would keep this a secret between us and not tell my parents," Erin thought to herself, beads of anxiety broke out on her forehead in form sweat. "But he knew the last time he visited the palace with the other gods. Perhaps he is not

    Duncan Mirthon "How do you feel?" Duncan asked Lara with wary eyes. Taking in a deep breath, Lara looked up from the lake, meeting her brother's inquisitive eyes. "A lot better than before," Lara answered weakly, mustering a small smile. Duncan grasped her arm, pulling her in for a warm hug. "Thank the moon goddess." He withdrew from the hug, and after a few seconds, his lips fell into a thin line, and his brows kissed each other into a deep frown. "What the hell were you doing in those woods?" Duncan's grip tightened around her shoulder. "Alone!"Lara flinched, and her pulse visibly raced in her throat. "I was not alone." Duncan's jaw ticked, and anger coursed through his veins even more. "What?" "Duncan," Erin's soft voice called out to him, but he didn't pay any attention to her. "Who were you with?" Duncan questioned, fuming. "Egor again?" "No. I was following you." Lara shook her head, whimpering, "You are hurting my arm." "Duncan," Erin called again, sounding stern.

    Duncan ran to Hildergard with his palms rolled into fists, hitting Evin's dirty face to prevent her from biting Hildergard's hand. "Evin, please!" Hildergard shrieked, and horror creased her forehead, stretching across her face, turning it crimson. "Guards!" Duncan yelled. "Get the leash!" Evin's fangs elongated, and saliva dripped down her sharp teeth. Her eyes burned with the desire to kill, and her nose flared. Duncan shoved a finger into her eye, and she growled, but it didn't stop her from holding Hildergard tight. "Hang on," Duncan said to Hildergard, assuring her of her safety.A guard charged into the dungeon with the demon's leash, flapping his hand and striking Evin with it. Evin growled and then screamed, sounding like a whistle as she released Hildergard and staggered back with shivering hands. The leash burnt her skin, and her chest rose and fell. "Stay back!" The guard exclaimed, striking the bars with the leash that glowed a bright shade of red. Evin's face cont

    Erin Grendel Erin packed her hair up, but after striking numerous poses, she decided to let the hair flow freely down her back. A knock on her door caused her to glance at it from her mirror. A slight frown creased her brows. "Who could that be when I specifically told them I would be sleeping and would not want any disturbances?" I thought, turning to face the door. "And who dares to disturb my sleep?" I asked, glaring at the door with a gaze enough to burn it down. "Erin?" Lola called, and I turned back to face the mirror. "Come in, Lola," I sounded like there was something lodged in my throat. She strode into my room with hands akimbo. Her eyes locked with my reflection, and she said, "I want to go out again." Her eyes held a gleam of delight in them, and she grinned from ear to ear."Take me out again. The atmosphere was so nice and," she paused to twirl lightly on the balls of her feet. "The lake was magnificent.""No, Lola. That is too dangerous. I can not take you out,

    Duncan Mirthon "Are you sure you want to be claimed?" Duncan inquired, and Erin nodded. Duncan smiled to himself, reaching for her neck and using his nose to rub her delicate skin. He shoved his tongue out of his mouth, licking her sweet but salty skin. Erin angled her head back, moaning softly. Duncan bit her neck, and she let out a low whimper. He ran his hands all over her body, memorising every curve with his palms. "I love you, Erin," Duncan muttered, claiming her lips and kissing her intensely. He sucked her bottom lip, deepening the kiss by sticking his tongue into her mouth. "Oh, Duncan," Erin moaned with their lips still pressed against each other, moving like a worm underneath him. "Yes, baby," Duncan answered with a gravelly voice as their tongues fought for dominance. He pulled away from her lips and pressed a wet kiss on her jaw, trailing his tongue down her neck, nibbling on it. She moaned, rubbing his back with her fingers. His heart thrummed in his chest whe

    Erin Grendel "Do you know what it means?" Duncan questioned, eyeing her. Erin shook her head, resting it back on his heart to listen to the rate at which it beat. "But I could ask Aunt Kayla or the fanged god for the meaning," Erin suggested, and Duncan hugged her to his body in silent appreciation in advance. He kissed her forehead softly, and her cheeks flushed. Her pussy still throbbed from the intense fingering. She wanted more and wished he had used his dick instead. "What are you thinking about?" Duncan asked, and she shook her head, snuggling into his body. "Are you sure about that?" "Yes," Erin said, and Duncan sealed his mouth shut. They lay in silence for a while before he broke the silence by asking, "Are you asleep?" "Not at all," Erin responded. "Why then are you quiet?" "I am just enjoying my moment with you. The silence is a comfortable one and I love it," Erin beamed, sounding muffled because her lips were placed on Duncan's chest. She darted out her tongue

    "What are you doing here?" They chorused, frowning deeper. "You go first," Erin said to Amelia, and she shifted all her weight to one of her feet. "I came here to get something." Amelia shrugged, and a sheen of sweat broke out on her forehead. Erin squinted at Amelia in scepticism. "What something, Amelia?" Amelia tittered, shrugging once again before attempting to step out from Aunt Kayla's doorway. "Healing portion for my friend, bye," she rushed over her words, gripping the knitted bag that was sling over her shoulder. Erin pressed her lips together into a thin line before turning to grab Amelia by the handle of the knitted bag, pulling her back. "Why are you breaking a sweat?" Erin eyed Amelia, who groaned in response, squeezing her eyes tight and popping them open. "Why are you acting like Mother?" Amelia inquired with confusion and irritation glinting in her eyes. "Even mother does not get all up in my business like you do." Erin chewed her bottom lip, thinking about w

    Duncan Mirthon The rays of sunshine cascaded into Duncan's room, falling on his face and hitting it until it roused him from his slumber. He groaned, wrinkling his face in displeasure as he turned to the other side of the bed. "Hildegard," he said in a groggy voice that sounded scratchy and deep. "Take care of the blinds."Instead of falling back to sleep, he squeezed his eyes when the sound of the curtain being zapped open filled the air, and the sun illuminated the room. "Get up, pretty boy," Hildegard teased, and Duncan grunted in response, pinching the bridge of her nose. "You will be late for the meeting if you do not get that buttocks of yours up." Duncan stretched, attempting to sit up, but his joints protested as they made popping sounds. He laid back, peeling his eyes open and squinting them until they grew accustomed to the brightness. "What meeting?" Duncan inquired, directing his gaze at Hildegard, who was already dressed. "You have got to be kidding me, Duncan," H

    Duncan carried Erin in his arms, smiling as she wrapped her arms around his neck. He got into their room and dropped her on the bed, planting a kiss on her forehead. "We are finally married, my love!" she beamed, clasping her hands around his neck."It feels too good to be true," he murmured, gazing into her eyes. "I kept thinking I would wake up and find it was all a dream.""Well, this is no dream," Erin replied, kissing him softly. "We are husband and wife at long last. We no longer have to hide to see each other.”Duncan furrowed his forehead as sadness washed over him. “What is wrong?” Erin questioned with concern. “I am sorry that I told my father I didn't know you when you were captured. I am sorry for thinking you killed my pack members and I am so sorry I let them throw you in the dungeon. I did it to protect you and I,” Duncan explained. “I-”Erin's touch lingered softly on Duncan's lips, a silent reassurance of her understanding and acceptance. "No more words, my dear,"

    The absence of the one she had trusted most only deepened the sense of betrayal and left her trying to make sense of the harsh reality of the war that now raged within the very walls of her kingdom.Her world shattered as she witnessed the horrific scene unfolding before her eyes. “Mother, Father, Amelia!” She called their names, running to through the chaos in search of her family. She goes into battle with the werewolves and saw Emyrn.“What? You are here? Where is Amelia?” She asked.“Fighting on the other side,” Emryn said as he took down the wolves with his magic powers.“Hold them in as much as possible…let me check up on my parents," she said running to her parents chamber.The sight of the caramel-skinned witch she had seen at Duncan's pack, bewitching Lara through the mirror that night terrified her. Erin's heart sank when her eyes fell to the witch’s hand gripping the dagger that had pierced her father’s heart, sending waves of anguish coursing through her. She screamed i

    Duncan's povDuncan wondered what was happening to him. For the first time, his primal wolf kept telling him to trust Erin. It was persistent that he was mistaken, but hem remained steadfast in his refusal to heed to the fact Erin might be innocent, not entirely innocent, but not as eveil as he thought she is. His mind came back to his father who had just called him. “Why is dad suddenly decided on going to war with the vampires?” He thought as he entered the chamber.“Finally you are here. You made me wait for a while," Alpha Mirthon said. “Sorry for the inconvieniences I might have caused but father, why am I being summoned?” Duncan ask, pretending not to know. Of course he has to or else, that maid will be in trouble.“We are going to war, son” He announced, his voice evident that he is determined to carry out what he just said.Duncan’s bro furrowed in confusion as he process his father ‘s words once again, hoping his father will say it is a prank but his ffather is not the kin

    111.She turned to the sound of the footsteps but heard the person pulling back. “Duncan?” She wished it was him for a second but when she remembered what happened earlier, she got rid of that wishful thinking.She is more than devastated and a tear rolls down her cheek when she recalls how he avoided her gaze. The guards were pulling her away, past the scarred walls and the torches mounted on the walls but he was not looking. She began to have different thoughts. If anything were to happen to her while coming, the least she could expect to happen is Duncan denying knowing her. She should have just stuck to Mark. This wouldn't have happened if she listened to him when he told her to end things with Duncan. She looked around the dungeon and realized it was a dimly lit cell and she was still in the same position as she was when she was tossed into it. She turned, banging on the iron bars."Let me go!" She cried out, her voice hoarse with anguish. But her words fell on deaf ears, swall

    Erin’s heart skipped a beat and she rose to her feet dusting her dress. While she expected to see so many guards, she was glad that it was only a guard. “I am asking again and I won’t repeat, who are you?” The guards took a stance to fight her but she chuckled.With a calm demeanor, she met the guard's gaze, her voice steady despite finding it amusing that the guard was ready to take her on a one-on-one battle.“Okay fine… I am a lycan princess. I heard the Alpha’s palace is here and has a great view. I came to see if it is true or not and it looks like it is true. Either way, I am leaving now” She said, and watched as the guard's stance shifted, his muscles tensed as he took in her words. She held her breath, hoping against hope that her explanation would be enough to quell any further suspicion."Trust me," she continued, her tone earnest. "I meant no trouble, and I am going now." She said pointing to where she came in from.“Ha… Think you can fool me?” He said howling loudly. His

    Erin's heart sank as she stood there, reeling from Duncan's abrupt leaving without hearing her out. "What am I supposed to do now?" she wondered, feeling lost and frustrated at the same time. Suddenly, her thoughts were shattered by a jolt as Lola's mind link flooded her consciousness with unexpected news. "Amelia found?!" Erin gasped, her mind racing. She turned instinctively in the direction Duncan had taken, taking one last glance as though wishing he emerge again from the shadows but it was just wishful thinking. Unable to follow him, she made a swift decision to return to Nebramos to confirm the miraculous news herself. She arrived at Nebramos at the break of dawn and was met with a scene of utter chaos. The maids were in a frenzy, their cries of anguish piercing the morning air. The whole palace was chaotic. She frowned and rushed in with curiosity but the maids were weeping so loud that they did not notice her coming. "What's happening here?" she asked, grabbing one of the

    Duncan's pov"Trespasser?" The alpha asks, and Duncan frowns in confusion as he looks at alpha Mirthon, his dad. “How can there be a trespasser around by this time?” Alpha Mirthon asked."It is a female vampire." The guard announces.Duncan's heart started to thump really hard in his chest. How could that be?“We should all go and see who the trespasser is now, shouldn't we?” Duncan rushes outside only to see guards holding Erin's hands. Anger bubbles in him to see her in such a state. “i warned you.” He said to himself internally. How could she get herself into such a mess because he warned her to stay away from his kingdom because he knew that once she was caught, it would be difficult for her to escape. He even knew about her killing his people, but he still gave her a way of escaping, but how could she mess it all up and let herself get caught by his people.Erin, however, did not seem to understand the situation she was in because she kept struggling with the guards who held he

    Duncan's povHe watched her through the woods and once he was sure that it was her, he called out her name and she turned around to face him, confirming his suspicions."Erin?" His throat ran dry. His heart felt broken and he hated how he hadn't noticed it earlier that she had been the one killing his pack members.His heart pace increased and he stared at her whilst having many questions at the back of his mind. Why would she do this? And how could she? Although they were mates, he also had an obligation to his people, his pack. How could she do this to him? How could she betray him after everything they'd gone through?“Why… Erin? Why?”“I have no clue what you're talking about.” Duncan touched his heart, feeling his heart break every second she gave him an answer he didn't like.“Why did you betray me?” He asked. His love for Erin could not blind that she had done something intensively horrid. He never would have thought she would do something like this but with all evidences in h

    The young werewolf breathed his last, and as soon as he did, Erin escaped from underneath him, causing his fur to land on the dusty ground. Erin breathed and watched the werewolf while his last words bothered her repeatedly. Necromancer. What did he mean?Erin covered the eyes of the werewolf and said a quick prayer to the moon to help him rest in peace.Whatever was chasing him seemed to have been very powerful. For him to die that easily.Then she thought of herself. She herself was bleeding, and the young werewolf's blood would soon catch the prey's attention in this area. Staying in this open area was not good for her. Still, she weighed her thoughts as she stood there concernedly.As the werewolf fully transformed into his human form, Erin was sure that he was dead. She looked at his eyes that she'd covered while in his wolf form, but they were wide open now, which made Erin aware that whoever this man had seen was definitely a dangerous creature.She quickly peered around her
