"You were mated with someone from Nyxoria, how possible is that?"

Triston Valtor stood with his hands placed on his hips, looking forward. He had his long white hair held in a ponytail, with some of it sweeping over his face. His stance was rigid and his muscles and abs was obvious through the thin white shirt he had on. His sweat had dampened the material and it glued on to his body.

They had ran all the way to the middle of the forest from the Nyxorian castle, heading back to Elyria and they were now very close to the border.

"It shouldn't have been possible," Triston replied to the man rather calmly, "But it did happen."

"And it doesn't bother you?" he asked again, "You don't seem surprised by this..." he struggled for what word to describe it and finally settle on one, "...phenomenon."

Triston chuckled, and so did the other two with them. 

Jaxon Korvus was the Redwood pack's Delta and was considered Alpha Prince Triston's best friend. He was much too sensitive, much too detailed and maybe much too into the rules for some, but he was the best man Triston could ask for. In human form, he was built just like Triston in stature and slightly taller, he had darker skin and short wavy hair.

The big man was not one for big words and hearing that word "phenomenon" roll out of his mouth was just funny, but Triston reasoned what he had meant. Sure it had been surprising to him when it had happened. He was twenty five and had attented all the mating ceremonies held in Elyria ever since he had turned eighteen, but had failed to find his mate.

Elyria's mating ceremony was set to happen tomorrow night, and he had hoped to find his mate this year, but nothing had prepared him for what had happened when he had unknowingly knocked that girl to the ground.

"...mate..." the voice had dropped in his heart as soon as he had stretched his hand out to her, "Mate," he had said out loud almost immediately without thinking.

"What would you have had him do, Jaxon?" Revin, one of the pack's Beta asked.

Jaxon shrugged his shoulders, "Not acknowledge her maybe?"

Revin shook his head, "Then she would acknowledge him..."

"...and he would reject her," Jaxon interrupted him with a snarl, "Elyria's mating ceremony is tomorrow, how would it be explained that the Alpha Prince Triston Valtor of Elyria has found a mate in Nyxoria?"

"Alpha Prince has waited more than five years to be mated, and you would have him reject the first mate he has?"

Jaxon opened his mouth to speak, but looked at Triston who was not really paying them any attention but looking out into the forest. Jaxon let out a sigh and shut his mouth, then sat down on a tree stump.

"Tomorrow it would be explained to the Alpha King of Elyria," Triston finally spoke, "If it would interfere with our plans then I would reject her."

As he said those words, he felt a squeeze in his heart as his wolf fought him on the inside. Triston was known to have no romantic interest and he would delibrately keep himself from associating with any girl because such move could prove disasterous when your mate turned out to not be the girl you were in love with. This girl would be the first, for both him and his wolf, rejecting her surely would no come as easily as he had said it.

"Are you sure about it Alpha?" Revin asked, "Chances of you finding another..."

"It will be done as I have said, Revin," Triston said with a voice of finalty, he really did not want to dwell on this for any longer, "When Xaren is back, we will leave."

"Speaking of Xaren," Jaxon spoke up, "Where did you send him off to?"

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, they heard a familiar howl and fast approaching steps. They all turned in the direction of the sound to see a wolf running towards them. The big animal leaped into the air when it was close to them and transformed, landing on two human feet, out of breath. Triston narrowed his eyes at the man.

"What's wrong Xaren?"

"The girl..." Xaren said, still trying to catch his breath, "...I don't think all is well, Alpha."

Triston came closer to him and held him up by the shoulders, "What do you mean?"

"Well, first she hid her sister and went into the house alone..." he paused before adding, "...I think she is being whipped and punished for something."

"Take us there," Triston said and immediately transformed into a huge white wolf, "Take us there now!"

*    *    *    *    *    *    *

Damaris let out a painful scream when the whip landed on her back. Her dress had been torn open by the lashes and she was bleeding. Her hands and feet had been tied with a rope and she laid on the floor of the living room.

"Again mother!" Zina said to her mother excitedly as she fixed her eyes on Damaris whimpering on the floor, "Again!"

Edged on by her daughter, Rhea lifted the whip again and brought it down hard on Damaris' back, drawing out another cry of pain from her, "Where is Ivone?! Where is that little demon sister of yours?!"

"Mother told you both to remain in the house and not to show your faces at the mating ceremony!" Zina yelled out at Damaris, "You disobeyed! And Ivone ruined my moment with Prince Reyes! Where did you hide that little twerp!"

Damaris whimpered and shook her head, if they were treating her this way for hiding Ivone, then she wondered how they would treat Ivone who had supposedly ruined Zina's moment with Prince Reyes. But then her sister being mated to Princess Maya had come as a shock, never had this happened in the history of Nyxoria, it was the strangest occurence and judging by the look Prince Reyes had given to her, she was sure that he would send people to search for Ivone.

"The mating ceremony is for all Nyxorian that had come of age," Damaris dared to speak, "How could I and Ivone be made to stay out of it while Zina attends?"

"You dare to compare!" Zina lashed out, feeling insulted. She seized the whip from her mother and lifted it up in the air, bringing it down on Damaris.

Damaris shut her eyes tightly, anticipating the lick of the whip against her skin. She would endure this torture one last time, now that she was mated, she would finally be able to leave this house to live with her mate, and she sure as hell would take her sister along with her. She would have to convince her to break her mate bond with the princess, even though such action would have dier consequences for both girls, it would be better than being outcasted.

Just before the whip came down on her the second time, there was a sudden and loud bang! and the front door crashed open, sending pieces of wood everywhere as a huge white wolf broke through, coming to lay protectively over Damaris and snapping his fangs at Zina and her mother, Rhea, who stumbled back in fright.

    Damaris opened her eyes slowly just in time to see a white wolf transform into the white haired man she had encountered in the castle only some hours ago. He came down to the floor beside her, anger evident in his eyes as he made to loose the ropes binding her wrists and ankles.Two more werewolves came into the house with another standing outside, but none of them transformed into their human selves. They stood guard, with their eyes fixed on Zina and her mother, intimidatingly."Who the hell do you think you are to break into my house in such manner?!" Zina yelled out, all her initial fear vanishing as she watched painfully as the man picked up Damaris from the floor.Triston remained quiet, but Rhea, understanding what was going on spoke, "She's been mated."Zina turned around to look at her mother in shock, "What?" she asked rhetorically before slowly turning back to face the two before them, "Mated?""Are you alright?" might have been the cliche thing to ask, but Triston didn't a

    "Elyrian?" Damaris was shocked and confused. She couldn't believe that because thee was no way it could be posible, "That's not right."Her attention fell on him as he looked back at her, his eyes was pleading and she could see the truth in them, he really was from Elyria, but, "I cannot be mated to someone from a different pack, can I?"Triston held her gaze. His face was set straight and held no readable emotion, but his eyes spoke volume to Damaris. He took in a deep breath and let it out forcefully, finally the secret was out, and it would seem like his mate was not taking it well. His wolf whined within him and its sadness came to show on his face. Damaris' eyes still held his, waiting for a sort of reply from him, but his silence had given her all the answers she needed to be sure.His heart beat calmed and he looked away from her, if she would not accept this fact, it would only make it more easier for him to reject her. He was the Alpha Prince Triston Valtor of the Redwood pac

    "Triston!" he had heard his mate yell out his name. Immediately, and without thinking, his head whipped around and he snapped his teeth at Damaris. She didn't budge, didn't show any sign of fear and Triston calmed a little."That is enough!" she said to him sternly.He growled at her in protest and turned back to Zina whimpering on the floor and in her mother's arm. She was bleeding from her mouth and Triston looked down at his arm which she had bitten, there was a tooth embeded in it. With his other hand, he held the tooth in between two claws and then transformed into his human self with a chuckle."Your new found title of being the Alpha Prince's mate has gotten so deep into your head," Triston said to Zina, but kept his eyes on her tooth in his hand, "I will keep this as a souvenier, and let that pain be a reminder to you of who I am.""I promise you," Zina said to him, bitterness and hate in her eyes and voice, "I will make you pay for this!"In a flash, he transformed into his w

    Damaris broke out of the forest in a run and didn't stop. Being this close to the house, she could sense that Ivone was in distress and she ran even faster. From afar, she caught sight of Zina, still with that bloody dress, pulling Ivone roughly by the hair towards the house, she barked once and ran ahead full speed. From the corner of the house, she could see some horses - three - and she feared that Alpha Prince Reyes was here already, if that was the case, the she could not allow Zina take Ivone into the house."Ah...!! Let go!"Ivone screamed as Zina roughly pulled her by the hair towards the front of the house. After Damaris had left with Triston, Zina had felt so pained and very much insulted, especially because she had lost a tooth, so she had immediately called for Reyes and put up a show of waterworks, telling him about Damaris' mating with the kingdom's rival, Alpha Prince Triston, and their plots and betrayal.She had gotten the response from him that she had wanted, and sh

    "Easy, Zi," he had said to her and then whistled, signalling to his men to come out of the house. A sly smile came to his face and he looked ahead as the girls. He had been looking for any excuse to get rid of the Ivone girl after her disgraceful mating with his sister, and this event had just played right in his favour."We'll play a game with them in the forest," he said, not exactly talking to Zina, but she replied to him anyway."Game?" Zina questioned, looking confused. She didn't understand what he had planned, al she wanted was those two gone, "But Reyes...""Chase after them once they make it into the forest," he said to the men around him and smiled, "Chase them on horseback and make it fun but leave the killing to me."They ran swiftly through the forest in their wolves, Damaris ran across the forest floors while Ivone followed from above, jumping from tree branch to tree branch, it was only at this moment she appreciated the fact that she was a small wolf.Ocassionally, she

    Ivone fell from the tree branch when she felt something wrap around her legs as she was running. She yelped and tried to hold on to another branch quite unsuccessfully as she crashed down to the ground hard. She groaned and remained still, slowly transforming into her human self to get rid of the sling that held her legs together. She groaned and tried to sit up but felt pain in her side, she winced and leaned her back against the tree, then brought her hand to massage her side, she winced again. Yep, she must have broken a rib or two."Well well well, what do we have here?"She looked up when she heard someone speak and that was when she noticed she had been surrounded by werewolves, the man who had spoken was slowly approaching her. He grinned as he tapped the cane he held in his hand.Fear dropped in Ivone's heart. She was no longer in Nyxoria, she had felt that tingly feeling when she had crossed the border - everyone who crossed the border felt it. She looked around and counted s

    "Alpha," one of the men said in greeting and the rest of them quickly transformed back into their human sefves. Ivone's eyes shot open and she looked up, her tears only rushed out more when she saw Triston standing over them. He fixed a stern and angry gaze on her, she was not surprised that he did not recognise her, they barely had a good look at eachother last night.The man who had spoken to her first approached Triston humbly with his head bowed low, "Nothing that should worry you, Alpha...""This is my territory, everything that happens within it should worry me," Triston said sternly and then he growled, "What the hell is going on here?!""The girl," the man started and pointed down at her, "Was caught trying to sneak into Elyria, or rather, was trying to sneak out after stealing from you.""Stealing from me? This girl never came close to me," Triston frowned in confusion, "Who are you again? and why are the rest still in their wolf forms?""Betas," Jaxon answered the question a

    She woke easily from a dreamless sleep and just kept her eyes open, looking up at the ceiling. She was on a bed and in a room, but she didn't bother to find out where exactly she had been brought to. She could still feel the pain in her sides, they came softly like low heart beats and it made breathing some how difficult, but she did not allow her mind dwell on that."Damaris."She remembered the body she saw on the tree. The pool of blood that had formed on the forest floor below the body. The branch sticking out of the body's chest. The long black hair that obscured her face. The gaping hole in her thigh. And one thing she had not rememebred that she had noticed then; her fore arm had been snapped."The pain you must have gone through, Dami."She fisted her hand and gritted her teeth. This was all her fault. If only she had ran faster, if only she had not been caught by those Betas in the Elyrian forest, if only...She stopped and shook her head.

    Murmurs broke out from among the people in the room following their gasps of shock, it was still very early in the moring, the sun was just beginning to shine and most of the citizens of Nyxoria were still asleep in their beds, yet this tragedy had come to the royal family of Nyxoria.Maya's body laid displayed on the table in the throne room before her father and the Delta's in high positions in the kingdom. The sight was gruesome, she had a gaping hole in her chest and was covered entirely in her own blood. Her hair was in a shambled mess, soaked in her own blood and clinging to the skin of her face.Reyes stood a couple of distance away from the table, he had his eyes fixed on his father who was shocked to the bone staring at the lifeless body of his only daughter. He had one hand stroking her hair while the other shaky hand hovered over her abdomen, slowly making its way up her body where it stopped at her chest, right over the hole in there and he trembled even more."How did thi

    Alpha Korvin Thorold sat on the throne of Nyxoria with his his Delta, Kaiser Archon beside him, he had the other Deltas in the throne room as well and even Zina had been invited. None of them in the room were sure of why they had to be here but Dathan, under the command of Alpha Prince Reyes Thorold, had requested that Alpha Korvin and the others who held positions of high authority in Nyxoria be present as well."What did you say this was about, Dathan?" Alpha Korvin asked Dathan. They had been in here for almost thirty minutes now and he was already running out of patience, the only reason he was here was because his son had requested the meeting, but still it was just too early in the morning.Dathan turned to Alpha Korvin and bowed to him in respect, "I do not have all the details, Alpha, only that Alpha Prince Reyes had requested for this."Alpha Korvin sighed and reclined against the throne on which he sat. He turned to face Kaiser who forced a smile, signaling for him to remain

    Triston tried to reach out to her in worry but she held a hand back to stop him from getting closer or touching her."Did you see her off to the edge of the Nyxorian forest then?" he asked her again and Ivone again shook her head.She was gasping now and the discomfort she was feeling in her heart grew into a painful squeeze and without thinking, she reached out to Triston for support as she felt her legs begin to grow weak."What is happening to me, Triston?" she asked him in between gasps. Triston held on to her as she slowly gave her whole weight to him, and gently he lowered them both to the ground with Ivone protectively in his arms. She grabbed the dress around her chest and squeezed, feeling the pain build until it was most unbearable for her so she let out a scream and started rolling about in his arms.Triston held her to his chest now and cradled her head in his hand. He shut his eyes as she begun to cry from the pain she was feeling in her chest. Already, he knew what it wa

    The morning was close by, she could feel it in the air and she could tell by the weather. The forest had been dark and cold and lonely, she was torn between emotions, being happy for Maya finally set free to return home, and sad about the fact that she might not be seeing her anytime soon. She consoled herself with the fact that as long as they both were alive, there would forever be chances for them to meet again.She rode her horse in a slow gallop out of the forest, heading back to the Elyrian castle, it was possible that both Triston and Alpha Ardon would have returned by now and she wondered if Alpha Ardon would immediately notice Maya's absence. She doubted that because he ever since the day he had captured her, she had never seen him go down there. But whatever be the case, by the time he would come to learn of her absence, Maya would have already been long gone, probably enjoying a refershing hot bath in her room.She chuckled at the sight in her imagination and it warmed her

    The forest was silent of human noises and all that reached their ears were the cacophony of the forest night life and the sounds of their own breathing. Both girls sat atop their horses facing forward, they had just crossed the border seperating the two kingdoms and the realization of them having to seperate weighed heavily on them."I guess this is goodbye then," Maya was the first to say. She didn't lift her head to look at Ivone, instead she played with her fingers grasping on to the reins of the horse.Ivone turned to look at Maya and a smile slowly came to her face. She reached her hand out and pushed Maya a little on the shoulder and then she chuckled, "Why are you saying it like we would never see again?"Maya chuckled and a tear dropped from her eyes, "Right?" She didn't lift her head to look at Ivone still, it was too heartbreaking to say goodbye.Ivone sat up on the horse and lifted her face up to the skies, she took in a deep breath and let it out forcefully, then chuckled

    The air was thick with smoke and fumes from the flames rising from the burning buildings, most of the houses that had been set on fire were either already burnt to the ground or had been extinguished already. The village was desolate, they had been able to get most of the people away to safety during the invasion and the few unfortunate ones that had been caught in the cross fire were those who lived closest to the forest.The acrid smell of burnt flesh was concentrated in this part, carried around by the night breeze coming in from the forest along with the howling sounds of some of the werewolves that had managed to get past them and escape back into the forest. The destruction they had brought down to the village was more massive than Triston had thought it would be and it annoyed him.It was still night time and the moon was shining brightly above their heads. Triston stood in the midst of the werewolves he had slain with his white fur covered in their blood, he lifted his face up

    "What is is?" Ivone asked as she focused on her partner."Alpha Ardon," Maya asked and shivered, "What if we get caught Ivone? I cannot face him again, I cannot go through that again," she said to Ivone and shook her head violently like she was trying to erase a mamory."Maya, Maya..." Ivone called out to her and trie to calm her down," Alpha Ardon will never be able to get t you this time, I promise."But Maya was not convinced and she sniffed, "How sure are you? I do not want to take any more chances Ivy.""Alpha Ardon had gone to Goral," Ivone told her, "Remember the planned attack on Goral you had overheard your brother planning?" she asked and Ivone nodded her head, Ivone continued with a smile, "That attack is happening as we speak. Alpha Ardon will not be back for hours." Maya chuckled and wiped her eyes, "And Triston?"Ivone hesitated when she mentioned his name but then forced herself to smile as she leaned in to wipe a tear from Maya's cheek, "He is not here too Love."Maya

    She sat on the bed in her room with her legs folded and her knees up to her chin, thinking back to all the things she had said to Triston, she hugged her legs tighter and buried her face as she cried. Half of what she had said to him she had not meant it but one thing remained that she could not help the guilt she felt, owning to the fact that she too had wanted it and she had gotten pleasure from it, but still, it was a betrayal and she was just trying to avoid taking the blame."It is not my fault," she whispered to herself and sniffed, wishing that the tears would stop but they didn't. They couldn't, "It is not my fault," she said again.She was momentarily distracted by the noice coming from outside in the courtyard. She stopped sobbing and went quiet, listening to pick up any sounds she could. She heard the neighing of horses and men shoudting out orders to another and she quickly jumped off the bed, wiped her eyes and ran to the balcony just in time to see Alpha Ardon walking ou

As he made his way out of the main building towards the front entrance where his horse had already been prepared and was waiting for him, he was then reminded of what Triston had disclosed to him before about the threats Alpha Prince Reyes Thorold of Nyxoria had issued against Goral and it cause him to fume.He took the reins of the horse and got on top of it, then looked back down at the man who had come to make the report to him, "Where is Triston?"The man hesitated because he did not know where Alpha Prince Triston might be, but before he could answer that, another came up to Alpha Ardon to give reply to his question."He was seen leaving the castle about half an hour ago, Alpha," the man said and Alpha Ardon frowned.At first, he tried to think of every reason why Triston would leave the castl
