In love with a lycan: Star light, star bright 44 - Mated and marked
(Raya’s POV)My hands are trembling. Probably out of excitement but there is unease as well.“It’s not gonna bite…you know that, right?”That he can still tease me when my poor nerves are frayed gives me the push I need. I snap the button open.Of course he’s wearing underwear. I’m almost disappointed. Almost. But only because I was already mentally preparing myself to see the real thing…that is, as God intended it to be before mankind was cast out of the Garden of Eden.Oh, but would you look at that!? I wanted to whistle—he might as well have not worn anything at all. That poor fabric, stretched to its limit…begging to—I look up. He’s watching my reaction with such intensity but my brain seems to have stopped working for a few seconds.I clear my throat. “I might need you to get insurance, you know—just in case we break something,” I tell him, trying to sound casual.He blinks, confused. “Break something? What do you mean?”I pointedly glance down before looking back at him again.
In love with a lycan: Star light, star bright 45 - The Tale of the Two Sisters part 1
(Raya’s POV)I can’t feel the mark anymore but I know it’s there. It’s beginning to make me rather conscious now and I’m pretty sure no amount of laser light energy will be enough to remove it should it start to really unnerve me. There is no going back from this vow.Not that I want it removed, I’m just a little bit…I don’t know, I can’t explain it. Bothered is really the only adjective I can think of. Like there’s an itch I can’t scratch and it’s starting to be uncomfortable.The mark is actually very pretty so I’m not even sure why it’s eliciting a weird reaction from me. Frankly, if I was ever into tattoos, I would probably even have chosen something very similar. But there is restlessness in me right now, something I’ve never felt before.Sometimes I even feel angry. Which is weird because what is there to be angry about?My monthly period must be coming soon, come to think of it. Maybe it’s just hormones.I know it’s a big deal for Kaan so I don’t say anything or he might take i
In love with a lycan: Star light, star bright 46 - The Tale of the Two Sisters Part 2
(Raya’s POV)I have goosebumps all over and tears in my eyes at this point. I know the story is a tragic one, but hearing the words still hits you hard. “Oh no…she died!?”Tilda sighs. “It's called ‘hamferð’. I believe in English you may call it as some sort of a vision, but ‘hamferð’ is specifically a Faroese term for seeing the dead and ninety-nine percent of the time it’s because one of your loved ones had drowned while at sea and they would show themselves to you in ‘hamferð’. The dead ones almost never speak. Most often they just show up, look at you or point at something, maybe even do some chore they always did when they were alive, but then they’d disappear and would never be seen again.”“That’s so sad…what happened to the little sister?” I’m so invested now and I stare at the little island with different eyes.“Little Eva knew that this probably meant her beloved big sister had fallen off the ferry and drowned. Overcome with grief, little Eva wailed, full of grief, waking up
In love with a lycan: Star light, star bright 47 - Please let me meet my lycan mate
(Kaan’s POV) Sylvana’s lessons are starting to really be a pain in the ass and I feel like the room is closing in on me. I stare at the folder with all the faces I need to remember before the day is over and I have the strongest urge to cast it into the fireplace. I stand up and take Raya’s hand. “Let’s go.” Sylvana frowns, standing up to block the way. “What!? Wait a second, where the hell do you think your royal arse is going!?” “I need a break or I’m gonna go crazy and if you don’t want me to go King George the third at the festival, you will get out of my way. We’ll be back in a couple of hours.” I say dismissively, pulling Raya with me as I exit the door, ignoring Sylvana’s protests that we don’t have much time as it is. Raya quietly follows behind me. Instead of going to the usual cliff where it’s most likely Sylvana will follow, I pull my mate towards the higher side of the island, ready to carry her if need be, just to get away from my cousin for a while. I know she mea
In love with a lycan: Star light, star bright 48 - Here they come
(Raya’s POV)Eldra Systr island—or even the surrounding ones that would be hosting human astronomers and enthusiasts of eclipses—has probably never seen such a traffic of private helicopters going to one tiny island before.Despite our fear that the sons of Fenrir will snub the event as planned and encourage others to do the same, it would seem meeting the elusive future king and his odd choice of a queen makes for a more alluring option.Kaan and I stand side by side on a make-shift pavilion which is adorned by thick creamy white curtains blowing in the wind. Should it start to get very cold, it could be used as a makeshift cover to shield us as well.These last few days, the ever-efficient Elijah has brought with him everything money can buy to give the event all the simple elegance and discreet pomp possible in such a small island. All the comforts that can be offered to the guests, anything they might ask for, Elijah tried to foresee and made sure that they will be provided.The e
In love with a lycan: Star light, star bright 49 ~ Seeds of discord and an unexpected ally
(KAAN’S POV)My mate looks so lovely and graceful today and at the same time ready to do battle. Despite the practiced demure smile, she has that determined look in her eyes that makes her even more beautiful in my eyes.The encounter with the sons of Fenrir actually affected me more than it rattled her, probably because she is too worried about me to notice the subtle insults and condescension thrown her way. Or maybe she did but had simply ignored them for my sake.Her hands held mine and lent me the support I badly needed in events like this when I don’t really give a rat’s ass about being present, let alone being the one in charge. But all of a sudden she leans over and tells me she just needs to stretch her legs for a bit.Unfortunately, I am in the middle of a business conversation and it would be rude for me to leave but one look at her and I can only surmise that it is urgent—she probably needed the necessities but cannot say it directly—otherwise, she would never have left my
In love with a lycan: Star light, star bright 50 - Seeds of discord and an unexpected ally part 2
(Raya’s POV)I stop walking, carefully thinking of the words to say. Having met her already, I opted for honesty instead of flattery. “I was hopeful at first…but then you disappeared,” I respond cautiously. “Sylvana said you left. That perhaps you weren’t interested enough. I didn’t really know what to think anymore after that.” I take a deep breath, looking her straight in the eyes. “But when I saw you just now, I must admit to a little bit of hope again.”“Very diplomatic. I like it, just as I liked what I heard you tell the prince’s secretary. And I did tell Lady Sylvana to keep mum about my whereabouts. Who doesn’t enjoy a dramatic entrance…or in this case re-entry? You should have seen your face.” She chuckles and resumes the walk again. “If you must know, Your Highness, I went to the mainland to meet with someone. That email I told you about reached the right people, hence the numbers you see today. You are right to walk around a little, away from the prince’s side for a bit. I
In love with a lycan: Star light, star bright 51 - Under the black sun and the triumphant moon part 1
(Kaan’s POV) A few minutes before the gong… I groan internally as I see the next guest standing before me, not because I don’t particularly like him but because I’m not really in the right mood—nor do I have enough focus right now—to tiptoe around someone of a rather delicate nature. Orthros, the only two-headed lycan in our history that actually survived to adulthood. He is in his human form now, which means…I need to guess who exactly I am talking to at the moment. As a human, he looks quite ordinary, head-wise. Physically, he only has one when he’s in this form. But it becomes a little bit more complicated when he opens his mouth because you never really know which one of his two personalities will be speaking to you. And it wouldn’t have been a problem, if not for the fact that his two personalities are polar opposites. Let’s just say that it’s a bit like playing Russian Roulette. One serves the King as a decorated and well-respected warrior, while the other… Well, with th
