Maya had only gotten as far as to the outskirts of the last village before the forest when she was met by three men having on their shirt an emblem of the Nyxorian army. She slowed down and stopped, transforming back to her human self as she got close to them.

"Princess Maya!" one of them said out loud as he ran to her.

Out of her mind with joy, Maya ran straight into his arms and cried, hugging him tightly. The man, not expecting the hug, stood still in shock, with his arms held out but not holding on to Maya. The other two looked on in surprise at first before they signalled to the man she was hugging to pull her away.

"Er... Princess Maya..." the man called and held on to her shoulders, breaking the hug and pulling her away from him. If Alpha Prince Reyes had seen what had happened, all three of them knew that he would have had the man's head rolling on the floor, even though he had not been the one who initiated the hug.

Maya sniffed and wiped away the tears, "I'm sorry, I'm j

  • Wolf's Bane: Moonlit Forbidden   Faded Hope

    She shed tears for their sacrifice because she knew that no one who faced Alpha Ardon would make it out alive. Right noe, all she had in her mind was to get to her brother and to be safe. Her brother would always make sure she was safe, even if he would have her locked in her room for months, as long as she would be safe and in Nyxoria, she would not complain. Alpha Ardon broke into the forest, leaping over upturned roots and under branches. Despite the rain and the irregular flow in the direction of the wind, he could still very much pick up the Nyxorian princess' scent and it drove him on. He was so blinded by his desire to catch up to her that he had not seen the werewolf who had been lurking behind a tree until it struck him hard in the face. Alpha Ardon winced and crashed down to the ground, he stayed down for a second before he got up on his feet. He fixed his eyes on the werewolf who had dared to hit him and he barked at the Beta. "You insignificant...!" Alpha Ardon barked o

  • Wolf's Bane: Moonlit Forbidden   Aftermath

    Ivone sat on top Triston's bed, already changed from the dress that had been soaked wet by the rain. The sun had not yet risen but they all knew it was already close to dawn. She sat with her legs folded and had her attention to the open door leading to the balcony and she just allowed her mind wander as she stared at the curtains swaying in the wind. The rain had long stopped and only the wind remained, though it was not as ferocious as it had been when it had come with the heavy rain. Triston stood by the doorway opening up to the balcony, he had his arms crossed over his chest and his body leaning on the wall. He too like Ivone, had his attention outside, looking out for when his father would return. He had already imagined his father returning to the castle covered in Maya's blood and having with him her body, or more gruesomely, just a part of her body as his prize. He shut his eyes, bowed his head and let out a sigh, perhaps just as Xaren had said, they should be preparing for

    Ivone looked at Triston confused. She could still feel the pull in her heart, and the pain and she pulled him even closer and with tears in her eyes, she asked him, "What are you not telling me Triston? Where is Maya? what happened to her?!" "While you were passed out, my father went after her," he said and her eyes widened in fear and shock, "I think he..." "No!" Ivone said and pushed Triston away from her. She jumped off the bed and raced to the balcony. In the courtyard, she saw Alpha Ardon in his wolf form and he was holding something - or rather, someone - in his paws. Ivone held her breath and fixed her eyes as she watched him toss the person to the ground and tell some guards to take her. "Keep her locked up in the dungeon below the castle," Alpha Ardon ordered and the guards bowed, "And under no circumstances should anyone be allowed to go down there to see her. Not even Triston." Ivone began to hyperventilate even more as Triston came up behind her to hold her up from fal

  • Wolf's Bane: Moonlit Forbidden   Punished

    He had meant what he had said to Ivone, about a chance still being possible for Maya to return back to Nyxoria, they just had to play it safe this time because his father was now aware of her identity and would make sure to have his eyes and ears on her. He stepped out of the room and onto the hallway with his heart racing. He dreaded meeting his father right now but he knew he could not postpone it, unless he would find a way to avoid his father in this castle or he would leave the castle all together for a few days, neither of which he could do all because of Ivone. Her scent had come to her fully now and he could sense her as well as he could sense another, and this made things quite a bit complicated and even more difficult for him because now he was overly aware of her, most especially when they were close enough to be in the same room, and even more aware when he had held her. When he had held her down from leaving the room, his wolf had gotten too sensitive because he had

    "If you had not gone to Nyxoria in the first place, with the nonsensical idea of trying to find a way to avoid the war or make peace, you would never have complicated things by getting mated to a Nyxorian! You would have settled down with a girl from Elyria and you would never have betrayed Elyria like this!" Alpha Ardon was angry and was not filtering his words, he just let whatever came to his head out through his mouth without thinking of how they would affect Triston as he barked at him. "Fine then!" Triston snapped at his father, "Call it a betrayal, but if presented with the exact same scenario, I would still come to the same conclusion, I would still have made the same decision!" "You brought a Nyxorian princess to live under my roof!" Alpha Ardon yelled and threw a punch at Triston, striking him in the side of his face and bringing him down to the floor. He stood towering over Triston, ventilating like a wolf who had just run a marathon. His anger was returning to him an

    The morning was just as cold as the night had been and it was much cooler in the forest. Reyes sat atop a horse in silence, he had his attention towards the much denser part of the forest leading towards the border. He had been in this position all night with Dathan on another horse and by his side, waiting for signs of the men he had sent earlier with the specific instruction to get Princess Maya Thorold out from the Elyrian castle. They should have been here before dawn. "The sun has risen, Alpha," Dathan said to Reyes. He sat uneasy on his horse and was already tired as it was because he had not slept a wink throughout last night. "I'm not blind, or am I, Dathan?" Reyes asked the man without even sparing him a glance. He was already frustrated and was beginning to wonder what set of morons he had sent into Elyria on such an important mission. "Just pointing out that they should have been back hours before now," Dathan said with a shrug of his shoulders and then added in his mind

    They had fallen asleep in each other's arms sitting on the floor with their backs pressed against the door after Triston's ordeal with his father. Ivone was the first to wake, she had her head resting on Triston's shoulder and his arms were wrapped around her. She lifted her head and turned to look at him, when she moved, his hands fell away from her and he stirred but did not wake. His head was tilted back, resting against the door and he looked quite uncomfortable in that position.Her eyes remained on him for a while as she just stared, a corner of his lips were swollen and he had long claw marks that drew small tiny red lines to run down the length of his neck from underneath his ear towards his chest. She suspected that his body must be aching him because no one could have taken such a beating without sustaining any injuries, buth then asides being tired from the beating, Triston had shown no other signs of being injured.She let out a sigh and looked away then stood up from the

    He stood by the bathroom door fighting the urge to break into the room and take Ivone. It was his wolf that he needed to keep at bay, he knew he would never do such - that was what he kept telling himself as he stood outside the door, but he knew all that was to remove the blame from himself, he could not deny the fact that he had never wanted Ivone more strongly than he was craving for her now.While he was fighting his demons of desire, Ivone opened the door and walked out. He knew what she had been doing in there but he had asked anyway and she had given him the most obvious answer."Having my bath?"He groaned as she walked past him and he could feel his wolf wanting to tear out of him.
