MURMURS resonated the large corridors of the eastern wing of the palace- the boundary where Yseah holds full administer and her quarters erected to.
Diverse servitors of wolven men and women are gathered along the large window where the ray of the celestial sun could hardly peered through it but can oversee the vicinity of the flower garden outside.Yseah can't help but arch her perfectly lodged brows as the horde of servitors piqued her interest, whom were busy of sightseeing instead of pondering their focus at work."Who is that supposed to be? Did his highness brought her out of pity just like the other one?""Watch your mouth! That's taboo! She's still going to be our Luna so stop speaking ill of her!""Then how about that girl! I think it's much more admissible to have a savage kinsfolk Luna other than getting a Luna from kindred of those puny humans."Now Yseah's ears erected in the intriguing subject of the palace servitors. Who wouldn't be when a human is involved? And to add more of the spreading palaver is her name.These quidnucs really fancy to feast unto her name in regards of relinquishing gibberish tattles."And what is this raucous all about?"With her frigid tone in abrupt intervention, all servants who were unbeknownst of Yseah's presence had goosebumps of bombshell as no one even ventured to let out a breath."Are you all deaf? Or do you have all an audacity to ignore me?" Yseah continued to spoke in her gelid voice of hostility as no one turn their backs and met her in the eyes.Not minute spare, all servants facing towards the large window then waddle their feet about turn to meet their Luna. Holding their breath at their throats, they purses their lips as all heads stare at each's feet."So are you all going to seal your lips and feign me ignorance? Speak! Before I cut your tongues!" Yseah raised her growled glacial voice as the servants of decuple trembled before her.A promptly thud then perceived in the huge corridor as all the servants prostate and knelt down the marble floor of alternate white cream and beige color."We, the lowly life of this wolverine estate, humble themselves at your presence Luna. Please accept our apology. We just don't want you to see the affair of his highness the Crown Prince, so we-""What affair are you pertaining to?" Yseah cut off the claim of the man who stated the last tattle earlier.It took the servant to give his response but still chooses to spill the beans in a huffled breath. "T-The affair that... W-we meant is the woman brought by his highness the C-crown Prince when they went to r-raid the b-borders of the southwest, my lady-y."The southwest borders. Though Yseah had never set foot at those grounds but the it's infamous legends that buried at those lands were able to thrive at their peaceful pack. It was said that mystery dominated southwest borders between the two kingdoms. An old tree that was erected somewhere at the middle of forest can bring you to the other realm- the realm of living humans.'I guess those legends came out true.' Yseah thought for a moment. She then shifted her focus at the adherent before her.Started with a stutter and still stuttered till end by then. Yseah legibly can see how they quaver in the state of fear."They must be telling the truth." Mildred spoke to comply what she observed. Bearing her wolf's word to be incontenstable, she heave a sigh to relinquish their anguish and then she past the prostating servants.As her hands nudges in the wide sill of the window, her grin or rather smirk couldn't pent at her lips. Her eyes were amused to what she's seeing. "I guess this is the reason why you cannot evade to sight such spectacle." said she as averted her gaze back to her servants. As she looked, the decuple were already standing behind her in horizon, still lowering their heads. She also caught a glimpse of her personal aid last in the line, wearing an impassive expression."Now tell me, who is that girl that 'bastard' is with?" Yseah uttered nonchalantly- dropping the honorifics towards her mate. She stick out her thumb as it prod in the figure of the two outside- unmistakably seen through the window.The servant who delegated himself as the other servitors' conveyor stuttered at first- flushed in surprise as the audacious utterance she address towards the Emperor Alpha's son. "B-bastard?"Yseah leered in a piercing blade. The adherent lad swallowed his lump of fear as she try not waver in aghast. He avoided his gaze down as he spoke with firm."As I have stated earlier, your highness. She's a human girl brought by Prince Ruvillous and the Imperial Knights when they took a raid at the southwest borders. That is the only information we have, based on the spreading rumors from the western wing of the palace." he pauses as he hovered into a decision to whether to tell Yseah more or not. "It.. was.. also rumoured that the Prince had fallen over heels to the girl since the servants saw them hugging each other." he pursed his lips after and fidget to anticipate a holler of anger from Yseah- or to at least what they all expected.Their agitation ended when a blatant guffaw brought a fleeting moment of liveliness of the dead halls. The servants raised their head with furrowed brows of perplexion as they were baffled by unforseen response of their Luna. They all looked at each other as they thought of the same thing.Has their Luna lost her sanity?"You... aren't mad, your highness?" the lad asked in confusion."Why would I be?" said Yseah. "I may be that bastard's mate but he never even once treated me as one. He looks at me as If I was just an ornamental piece of this wretched nation. If that's how he wants to play his part as a prince then I should also play along. And besides... if he can find a woman, why can't I?""What?!!!"All of the servants voices sang in chorus-accompanied by the squeal of her personal aid, Sera."Oh? I was just merely a joke. I did not know you're all easily flustered." Yseah kid. "Though, it can be done right?""Ehh? What are you talking about-""All of you." Yseah forstalled him for the third time. "Why don't we make a bet? If his highness will end up with the wench she brought, I then will kill myself in front of all the eyes of this wolven nation. Not just that, before my execution I will give you hefty amount of money to escape yourselves as a petty servants of this palace. Those jewels are valuable than your life you know. " she pauses to curl her lips cunningly. "But if they will not end up together, then all of the ten of you must give me your loyalty for eternity. And to assure that, you have to give me your precious primal lycan tooth. Do we have an accord?"THE PRIMAL LYCAN TOOTH. All undergo the phase of being toddlers- may it be human, vampires or werewolves. It is mainly the aspect of life where evolution happens in mysterious ways. When the fist tooth that grows in a lycan form arose, it is known to be a magical way of keeping a loyal contract with them just as how dragons would offer their cores to form a bond to their contractors. I do hope that those servants will take my bet seriously. I'm pretty sure no kleptomaniac cannot resist the thought of riches and gold. Yseah wander at her thought while stuffing a constant morsel of food at her mouth. The celestial sun in it's highest peak, and it's rays cannot just cause tan on the skin but burn from it's torrid heat. One way to say it- noon of another normal day at the palace has come. At the recurring time, Yseah and her mate Ruvillous are amusingly having their luncheon together - a once in a blue moon occurence for the twain- held at the pavilion that is built in th
BLANKLY STARING before the tall stockpile of papers, a few moments of his reverie, Ruvillous abruptly slammed his armor fist at his desk. His aid then who was peacefully sitting at his own desk- with also papers he doted upon to as the crown prince's secretary- then jumped his heart off at the sudden thud. "Is anything the matter your highness?" The crown prince's personal aid whom named, Noah, asked in composed- trying not to speak in stutter. Ruvillous then swerve his head to him with furrowed brows. "How can she blatantly meet up with someone else's Alpha's son when Im her mate! And she even was audacious enough to ask that right in my face! Does he even have enough conscience at all!" Ruvillous growled through out the end of his sentence as his wolf, Zafron, was partially seen and eyes shifted to full blooded eyes. Noah can't help but divert his gaze about-turn at his master's direction. He purses his lips as he murmured under his breath."Now someon
THE WORLD WAS STILL FOR A MOMENT, as all eyes pinned in a striking manner at the human maiden who now had kept her expression cunningly. Blinking her lilac orbs twice to relief herself in the state of trance, Yseah cock her head sideways as words were stuck at her throat- the same for the handmaiden's who were all ears at their dialogue."Well, that's a bit surprising, Lady Margaret. It seems that your quite a prodigy when it comes to the field of love." Yseah finally state her remark after a few seconds of silence. Giggles then escaped at Margaret's lips as she find Yseah's remark as a compliment- which deliberately a hidden mockery at point. 'It was obviously a threat by the wench at me to don't let my guard down. How annoyingly good. Looks like she wants to play with me. Setting up the bastard as the price is also not bad.' Yseah thought looking at the hypocrite before her. Margaret then just smiled as the preamble of ending their converse. She shifted her
KNEADING her thumb solicitously, Sera perk her head up for the thirtieth time, lining her vision at the entrance of the labyrinth maze- hoping that their Luna will pop out in any second. "It's been almost half an hour, that my lady had went inside but she still hasn't come back yet. What could have happened to her?" Her words were laced with agitation at the same time wavering with fear. Sera kept on biting her lower lip that her teeth almost tear its pinkish skin.Sera's gaze lift heavenwards as she felt the celestial sun was blocked by the sudden formation of grey nimbus clouds that is persistent enough to pour down heavy rain fall in just spare seconds. "I hope my lady is alright." she mumbled in a sotto voce."She will be fine, Sera. She's strong since she's our luna after all." Leni, Sera's wolf, anticipated a reply to her agitation- a solace offered to easen her anxiety.Just by then, clang of steel then was heard. Sera swerve her head from behind and the
HIS EYES are now shaded with pure hue of crimson specks that is swirling in anger for the safety of his fated mate. Ruvillous' pace as he leaped through walls of the long six-columned halls were inhumane- faster then his usual run. When he was at the brink of the palace double doors, a thought of hesitation to plunge and meet the heavy rainfall did not cross his mind, for only the dainty face of Yseah enveloped a mist at his murky mind. He skip through puddles as like he was traversing the vast ocean just to meet his fated one. He cannot lose her. Her Luna was the sole reason why he was able to find another meaning to his crumbling life. He may expressed it in the most tacit way, but he loves her secretly deep within his heart, and that someday, he hope would blossom and thrive to reach into her heart. Halting from his leaping pace, Ruvillous oversee a soaked woman under the heavy rain. He skips and approach the woman who was hugging herself from only the warmt
BLINDED BY DARKNESS. Yseah keep blinking her pair of lilac orbs to the vast obscurity, but nothing seems to lit a light on her periphery. She found herself now trotting at the darkness without a deliberate destination. It was tiring. No matter how she walk, she would find herself to not be moving even after chasing the horizon set before her eyes. Where exactly is she? Is she having a dream? Or was it worse than she can imagine. Death. "Perhaps sinking beneath the trap planned by that human bitch was hardly the cause of this scenario. I never knew I could be this weak." Yseah mumbled under her breath that she expected to have a rebuke by her wolf. But seconds or minutes have passed, no Mildred answered her. Yseah's heart palpitated abnormally just thinking that she'd be wolfless. That is something she cannot afford to lose more than her life. "Mildred! Mildred! Please answer me! I know I'm not the nicest werewolf to you and I'm sorry for that. Please do
"Tonight, I'll finally mark you ..... TO BE MINE." Ruvillous whispered in a hoarse tone as slowly, his moist lips brushes Yseah's ears. The tingling sensation slithered down her spine as her face flushed in pure red. Her heart races fast as Ruvillous nip her ears this time and it spun Yseah around when his lips slid down her neck- passionately kissing it and buried his teeth to finally mark what is his.Yseah closes her eyes as she moan silently beneath her breath. She can feel at her flesh the burning heat from her body as Ruvillous lick with his tongue the bite mark he created at her neck. Slowly, Ruvillous withdraw his face as he now pinned his eyes at Yseah's lilac stare. Ruvillous cupped Yseah's chin and tilted it towards him. "I.. love you my Luna." Ruvillous uttered huskily then not a minute spare his lips touched hers. Ruvillous claimed authority into her lips as he passionately kisses them. Yseah widened her eyes at first, hearing the leas
THE DARK ARTS. In the land of Otheli, diverse creatures of wolven packs are settled. The most common kin are the shifter werewolves whom can alter themselves into human back to wolf. These kin became larger and larger that it was divided into two kingdoms- Elodnia and Xehoulasva. The next race of werewolves was Yseah's own kinsfolk- the Crystal Moon Pack. Though her own kin is only a quartile to the second kingdom, Xehoulasva, thus cannot mainly be called as Kingdom, it was still ruled by an Alpha that loves his people. They were known as savages for being unable to maintain a human-like form that they are featured as rare. But in spite of that delineation, there is still much more rare than being from a savage kinsfolk. And that is being a master of dark arts- precisely called as witches. Practicing the dark arts is forbidden by the law of the moon goddess by any wolven race. But since there is always evil that lurks in the shadows, few werewolves venture to break such la
