During the blood moon night, the werewolves would go into the underground prison and strap most of the teenage wolves, precisely the little ones who are not capable of controlling themselves in their wolf form as they might turn violent and rampage through the city. though the adult in the pack can have a little control and restraint over themselves, the pups completely lose control, especially on the blood moon night. Despite his title and responsibilities, twenty years old alpha king Lucian would always take his brother to the underground vault and stay up all night with him."You know, you don't always have to do this yourself," Dylan said climbing down the stairs after his brother"And why is that? are you scared I might beat the hell out of your wolf if it doesn't behave," Lucian said teasingly."I would like that, as long as I don't get any scar the next day, it will be a big shame to my ladies when they get to see my scarred bare body after this night," Dylan said smiling widel
"Goddess bear me witness, I will murder my brother if he ends up turning without his shackles," he swore at him as he drops the other end of the shackle and sit in the corner with his brother.The two brothers chatted away for some more minutes when Lucian notice his brother feeling uneasy, his words sound more like a low growl. He looks outside with the help of the small opening on the wall that can't be considered a window.*If the moon is not yet fully up then why this reaction? He thought as he put his two fingers forward and place them on his brother's forehead to check his body temperature "Dylan!" he called out to him. "are you alright?" he's having a running temperature, his low growl gradually turned into a howl suddenly and Lucian darted towards the shackles "I swear Dylan, I will deal with you when all this is over," he thought out loud.It was so far the hurtful transformation Lucian had ever seen, as Dylan turn and toss from left to right aggressively, his beautiful green-
**********The Next Day*************Lucian had been in the garden since the morning he got back with Dylan, even when the palace gardener usually takes care of those flowers and plants most of the time, when he needs some time alone he will visit the garden and tend to the plants."Cian, I heard the almighty Alpha king would be here," someone cut into his silent peace.A little bit surprised but he didn't look back as he already felt his presence, he knew who it was."Marek!," Lucian said as he couldn't hide the smile that crept in on his face.Marek is one of Lucian's childhood best friends and also his beta, unlike Lucian's perfect physique, Marek could also pass for a handsome man, he's a blonde hair guy with a round face and cherry full lips. five months back Keres invaded the neighboring village, the hometown of Marek. [Keres are death spirit, though they do not cause people to die they waited for people to die so they could feed on their flesh] Anywhere those ominous spirit sta
Walking along the palace pavement with Marek by his side, Lucian felt the presence of Liliane, and he sighted her. in her company were the palace servants strolling toward him."Mother," Lucian said as he and Marek gave her a slight bow.With a worried face, she asked, "how did the blood moon ritual go?" "It went well, mother," Lucian said with a bold smile."I haven't seen Dylan around, I did check his chamber I couldn't find him," Liliane had a feeling something was wrong as Dylan would always come to her after that stressful night."mother, you worry too much. he might be flirting with the other wolf girls around the palace," Lucian tried his must to sound believable, he knew how easily Liliane worries, especially, if it had something to do with Dylan."When you see Dylan ask him to come to see me," she said sadly."yes mother," Lucian answered nervously."Cian, are you sure everything is fine?" she asked this time she was peering into his eye.Lucian swallowed hard as he think of
It was a hectic day for Lucian as he perform his preeminent duty, night came and the meeting with the ministers ended. Lucian's last order was been carried out. it was time for him to retire to his chamber. immediately the huge door to his chamber opened, and his eyes fell on a slender red hair lady, she had her back unto the door, she stood so close to the window staring at the darkness in the sky, she was lost in the ambiance of her thought. she had an average height, elegant and curvy in the right places. Lucian already knew who it was. He took a light step towards her and wrap his hand around her waist, he then places his head on her shoulder "Rissa, I've missed you," he whisper these words seductively. she shudders as an after-effect of his hot breath fanning her neck. Rissa raised he hands and placed them on his face as she caresses his cheekbones with her fingers. "I missed you too, Cian," Rissa said. That alone was enough to light up Lucian's soul. he turned her abruptly, ma
***********Lucian POV*********** my legs were weak and I was visibly shaking, thank Goddess am in my chamber alone."she had left me for a stranger, just because he claimed to be her mate" my heart shrinks at the thought of it. I felt battered and wronged. all these while I had the fear of her dumping me for her mate. I knew this would happen one day but I never knew she would openly choose her mate over me. I wallowed in my grief, alone and unwanted. "What would Dylan say, if I were to tell him about this," my thoughts wander around."Brother Cian, I warned you," I laughed manically at my thoughts."Even mother would agree to that, Dylan would always say this, it's better to dump than to be a dump," I reminisced over the memories Dylan and I shared."Dylan!" memories of our fight this morning came flooding in, and I suddenly felt the urge of talking to him. I hadn't seen him since morning. I decided to prepare a bath for myself since it is late in the night and the palace servants
"Bingo!" I yelled as realization dawned on me, marek already understands what I meant as he looked at me in awe. "I do not think that's possible, the Goddess can't let such a cruel twist of fate befall you. Iyyar wouldn't hide such a thing from us," Marek said with a shaky voice, he tried his best to sound more believing. I decided to not let him in on my suspicions so I tap his shoulder and gave him the most pretentious smile I could muster "I never said anything, Marek" I wanted him to feel guilty for suspecting our friend and he did." I thought he was your friend too, how could you suspect him of keeping secrets," I scold him."What!, I thought we are both doing the same thing," he said as he stood all spaced out.I walked past him as we have already arrived at the prince's residence. The guards were all active, they all stood at their various posts. noticing my presence they all bowed as courtesy demands. The prince's residence is not as big as the alpha king's residence but en
I could hear the sounds of Marek's horse and the others as they trail behind me."Let's leave our horses here on the clear field," I said to them.We scattered deep into the woods and searched.The search was tiring as the werewolf soldiers uses their heightened sense of smell. The elves made fireflies that lit our path, while some of the other strongly built creatures guard the entrance of the woods.I noticed a hilly side in the woods and climbed it, I wanted to get a clear view ahead of us. The clear view I was so desperate to see didn't come to be. instead, I saw a dark storm, not that storm that happens before it rains. This one was foreign and different, very dark. Darker than the sky at night and vast too. I stare deep into it, and without batting an eye, my eyes become blurry and I felt dazed like my strength is being drained by the second. Within that minute I felt my brother's energy but it was faint, the energy was not stable the way it should."That way," I pointed out to
