Chapter 53Thane.The beautiful crescent moon shone like silvery claw and gave some dimming lights through the partly opened windows. The wind clattered on the roof giving the room a cozy feeling. The wind was getting heavier and it was so obvious there would be some rain poor soon enough.I rolled from one side of the bed to the other. I couldn't sleep.In the past as a young adult, I’ve battled with the lack of sleep…a medical condition was what our physician termed it.I took potions upon potions until it got better, but right now I knew what was happening to me wasn’t a medical condition.Lyra’s abrupt rejection of my marriage proposal lingered heavy in my heart, keeping my eyes clear off sleep.No matter how much I tried to be understanding, it made no sense.My heart is broken.Shattered by the one person I’ve ever given it to.As I laid on my bed, my gaze was fixed on the unsettling shapes that the moonlight painted on my ceiling. Accompanied by the sound of the wind, the roof
Chapter 54Lyra.I was back in my clan and laden with a heavy heart. Nothing of late made sense. Thoughts of Thane was always the first in my mind when I wake awake and the last thing in my mind before I fell asleep. Sleeping no longer offered the comfort and peace that it did before.As I sat in my throne, I could barely hear anything.More than twice I’ve been called to attention.I was supposed to be mediating on some conflict issues in the clan that was tabled before me.I dismissed most of them but the last case caught my interest.A man and a woman fighting for the custody of their son.The young woman who seemed to have been aged with stress spoke first.“My boy here has been with me since I gave birth to him.I and his father have not been together for seven years.”I looked over yo the man who was regarded as the father.He was young as well.I concluded it was probably early love for both of them.“He went off with another woman,” she continued.Or it was definitely not lo
Chapter 55Lyra.I whipped my horse, more from my pent up frustration than for the need for it to move faster.The horse neighed and galloped along the woods.My men, also on their horses followed closely behind.We were visiting the Dark Harem clan today as proposed.“This would be the dawn of a new era,” I smirked angrily as I recalled the high septon’s words.I know he meant good for the realm, but his constant budging was beginning to irk me.More times than I can count, I’ve asked myself if I was making the right decision.Everybody seem to be happy with the new peaceful coexistence with the Dark Harem clan.The long time feud between us was looking forward to an end and that means we can finally form an alliance and make progress.But I’ve found out in a bitter way, the cost of this alliance.I’ve lost Thane…my mate.The only man I’ve ever fallen in love with.For a better part of the time after I arrived from his clan, I resorted to blaming him for his lack of patience and unde
"Please! I did nothing! I am innocent Alpha!" I wailed even in chains. The moist ground is seeping through my white dress and torturing my bones, and I'm on the verge of collapsing but something just keeps me going. Is it my remaining sanity? Or that soronouse voice that keeps whispering to me from a distance that's not so far from my head? "You spiteful Omega!" He spits on my face, his big hand grabbing a fistful of my hair and pulling. He pulls so hard, I'm forced into a shock. Alpha Maverick, my supposed mate. We were bonded together for love and eternity before the moon goddess under the brightest crescent Moon ever sighted in years. But I'd known that that day was a joke as the moon mocked me. Because I knew our union wasn't of love but of hatred. "No mercy!" "Kill her!" "Off with her head!" "She's bad blood!" "She will rein havock onto our lands!" The pack members chants from below as I remained on the moist ground with
The sunlight burns my eyes through the window and it almost seemed like I'd been set on fire. I remember everything. I remember Alpha Maverick hitting me and pushing me against the walls. I remember how I almost died. I must've woken up because of the sunlight on my eyes or because of the inaudible whispers coming from the hallway. "We cannot have her here, Celeste!" A man's voice speaks "we are in a hideout damn it!" He's upset because of me. "She's pregnant for fuck's sake, Alerik! Have some pity on her! She has been through too much." She's sympathetic for me. I think I'm forgetting the part where she said that I'm pregnant? How can I be? This cannot be. I tried to get off the bed but I find myself falling back, my head nearly falling off. When I finally manage to get off the bed, I'm facing a mirror by the side. I've had change of clothes and I fee
LYRA VALERIA. Alpha Viking came as my guardian angel and saved me from the pains and torments of this world. The day he gave me his hands to take, I had no idea how much of a change taking his hand that day would bring to me. After his men chased me down and accused me of stealing their food, Alpha Viking, the Alpha of a thriving and fearful pack known as the Viking pack stepped forward and saw through me. And saved me. Viking was an old man, with graying hair. He took me in and I don't know what he saw in me that day but he believed in me. "You are going to be the greatest woman, Lyra," he said to me one day in her s throne room "and your sons, they are going to be the greatest warriors ever." Alpha Viking had lost his wife and only son to a war with pegans ten years ago. This has made him become ro ruthless and merciless. But he said when he saw me and my sons, something in him changed that day. Viking took me in like I was th
LYRA. As we head back towards our camp, we heard an estranged sound of a horse running full speed. Cleo puts a hand up for us to stop and we pull out horses into a quick stop. We go into silence, my guards unsheeting their swords, just to be ready should in case the need to fight arises. The sound of horses gets heavier and closer. I listened and pick up that horse sound. I knew instantly who it was. "Put your weapons down." I tell them. Cleo turns a worried gaze at me, before himself lowered his sword last. Just then, the horse comes into view and as I'd expected, One of my men back at the camp, Dion is mounted on top of it, furiously riding it. He comes to a pull halt at the sight of us. He jumps off his horse, like a man who had seen a ghost and bows his head towards me. "My lady," he calls, urgency in his every word "The Northeners has arrived. They will reach our camp soon." My brows furrow at this information. After two days, they finally decid
THANE.I walked up and down the length of the room that I was ordered to wait in with agitation in my heart. What if she refuses? Or worse.What if she sees me as a threat and murders me right here? My mind conjured up different possible ways by which this could go all wrong but a nagging intuition whispered that she wouldn’t hurt me. Maybe it was the short fleeting glance we shared last night. A glance that seems to speak volumes of word even though we didn’t utter any.I don’t know what it is, but from the moment she whispered her name to me, I knew I wanted to see her again. I feel drawn to her in an unexplainable way. Formerly, I’m here to solitude for her expertise and help, in defeating our enemy as I hear we share common grief with them but I couldn’t deny the spark of curiosity that drove me to want to see her again. An approaching footsteps made me jolt in my movement across the room as I stood at alert. Soon her face appears as she enters the room wi

Chapter 52Thane.As Lyra and I walked back to my quarters, I was tempted to ask her again what the problem was.Clearly, something is eating her up and she’s refusing to share.I made a mental recollection of everything that has occurred so far today, and I couldn’t pinpoint any triggering event for her.Or was it my statement on her dress?I couldn’t rule out that part because I knew Lyra was a proud warrior, and she might have not taken kindly to my compliment, of always wanting to see her in a dress.I looked over at her, and she still had the sour expression on her face.We reached my quarters and because I didn’t want to pressure her, I showed her to a room different from mine.“So we’re going to be in separate rooms?” She asked looking visibly annoyed.“I don’t know, I thought you’d prefer it,” I explained feeling a little frustrated.“Okay, that’s right,” she replied curtly, making to leave.But I reached out and grabbed her by the waist, pulling her closer to myself.Her hand
Chapter 51Lyra.After the refreshing bath, I was led to a lavish dressing room with an array of female dress in a large wooden closet.I felt obliged to ask the servant girl if this was predesigned but decided against it.I chose a simple yet elegant cashmere dress with delicate rose patterns on the bust area.I particularly loved how soft the material felt on my skin.The young lady offered to style my hair, but I politely refused.I’d pretty much prefer to maintain my independence.Despite being the Alpha of a clan, I never allow myself get used to servants attending to my personal matters.After brushing my hair, and richly applying a hair oil on it, I packed it in a ponytail which was my basic style in my little effort to look elegant.I stared at my reflection on the mirror and felt like I looked pretty.Not something that happened quite often.The dress was a distinct contrast to the gloomy war outfit I usually wore.When Thane saw me, he didn’t hide the admiration in his face.
Chapter 50Lyra.Thane stood up and undid his pants. He tugged them and his inner shorts down exposing his throbbing manhood.He grabbed my legs and lifted one of them up over his hip, giving him enough of an angle to fuck me while standing up.I moaned wildly as I felt his rod penetrate me for the first time.His cock throbbed violently as he pumped into me.My eyes rolled back in my head as he kissed my lips passionately again, sucking on my tongue.His wandering hands found my nipples and he squeezed them.I felt a painful sensation surging through me like an electric shock.I put my hands back against a wall as he continued to ram me, sending shock waves up my spine with each thrust.I could feel his rod milking by my tight womanhood.Thane’s moan sounded like music to my ears.“I feel like I’m going to cum,” he whispered in my ear.“Wait!” I exclaimed.He stopped thrusting and pulled out.I got down on my knees and started stroking his shaft aggressively.I began by sucking on th
Chapter 49Thane.Ozark was finally defeated and I couldn’t be any happier.Lyra told me a part of the reason they were victorious was because of Elara the witch.“Poor girl, she was faced with the fate of killing her own sister,” Lyra remarked.“What happened to Ozark in the end?” I asked.“He’s dead, killed by my own sword.”“So who rules the tribe now?” I questioned.“The former Alpha had a son that was banished from the land.Majority of the villagers accepted that he be their new leader, so he was named the new Alpha.”Lyra leaned closer, her bosom pressing against my chest.“And I hear you have been so victorious here, the villagers continue to sing your name,” she said in an almost whisper, a half smile spreading across her face.“Well, it wasn’t just my glory.I have my warriors to thank for that.”“Been humble now, aren’t we?”Her soft smile became more prominent.“Alpha Thane,” she whispered in a soft seductive voice.I chuckled.My lips wandered over her jaw, and down her t
Chapter 48Thane.The knife fell from Lisa’s hand clattering to the ground and breaking the silence in the room.Thorfin quickly dashed and picked the knife from the floor.Lisa burst into tears.She cried profusely, muttering incoherent words to herself.I went closer and gently took the baby from her.She showed no resistance.I took a glance at her and despite her cantankerous attitude, felt pity for her.She was mourning her lost love.Kane took hold of her and gently dragged her towards the door.She’ll need to cool down in isolation for the main time.The child in my arms had quieted down and his almond green little round eyes gazed at me curiously.He was indeed a tiny adorable thing, and I couldn’t help but feel a surge of paternal affection towards him.I gently rocked him forth and back trying to sooth any more fears he had picked up from our outburst.The wet nurse soon approached me with a smile.“Alpha Thane, shall I take the young master from you, I’ll make sure he is we
Chapter 47Thane.Moment after the meeting with the council members, Kane and Thorfin came to me with a distressed news.“She’s a bag of trouble, I think she should be locked up before she causes any more trouble,” said Kane with a low and urgent tone as we stepped out of my chambers.The air outside was cold and crisp.The evening breeze blew softly from the eastern horizon spreading warmth across the environment.The setting sun cast a pale yellow glow adding to the aesthetic of the evening.As we walked, I romanticized over the weather, thinking of Lyra.“Lisa has gone out of control, I’m telling you, we need to curtail her,” I hear Kane say again, jolting me out of my reverie.“I’ll need to speak with her first, she can’t be that hard to control,” I remarked.“I’m guessing she didn’t take the news of her father been removed from his position as head of finance so well.She’s been acting out since.She killed a guard who tried to stop her from running away last night,” Thorfin adde
