Rebound to the Lycan Alpha 39. Welcome gift
[Carys] “You have changed…” I murmured, seeing the door of the house close as Kian carried me inside. “The Kian I knew would never do something like this.” He didn’t reply. He walked through the dimly lit corridors and hallways upstairs until we were in a room. Strange how I already knew where the next turn would lead us. And if he had really built the whole place according to my drawing, I could easily find a way to get out of here. Well, at least if he hadn’t found some magical solution to block all those escape routes. He silently put me on the bed and for some reason, I felt as if I shouldn’t do anything to trigger him any more. So, I sat quietly and watched as he grabbed a bathrobe from the cupboard and headed right into the walk-in shower aesthetically designed in a dark and golden ambience. He shut the door of the bathroom with a bang and locked it from inside. I stared at the door, confused. What was that for? Did I get too nervy on his nerves? Only when I heard the
Rebound to the Lycan Alpha 40. The deal
[Carys] I waited for him to finish his meal. And he took his dear time finishing the steak. I helped myself with the red wine in the meantime. I took a sip, the strong flavor of the wine spreading across my tongue. He reached out for the salt shaker that was obviously out of his reach, so I passed him the shaker tray. Without looking up at me, he gave a formal gratitude-filled nod. I looked at the salad and then stole a glance at him. As far as I remember, he always had a balanced meal. If there was meat on the menu, which was a little heavy, he usually paired it with salad. My fingers tightened around the stem of my wine goblet as I debated with myself if I should pass him the salad or not. Well, if he wanted the salad, he’d get it. Thinking of passing a bowl of salad had never been more nerve-wrecking. I straightened my spine and slid the bowl of salad within his reach. I nonchalantly brought the goblet to my lips. Subtly aware of his every action. He stopped eating and gl
Rebound to the Lycan Alpha 41. The Circus Master
[Kian] “Any news on Ruin?” “Nope. It seems he is maintaining a low profile for now,” Jackson said. “Of course he is.” Ruin had to die. And if there was any other fate for him, I would erase it all. I failed to kill him once, but that won’t happen twice. I should have stopped her from leaving the Winter pack. If only I did, she wouldn’t have that ugly mark on her body. She wouldn’t have gone through… I tightened my fist around the remote in my hand. “Bro!” Jackson plucked the remote out of my hand right before I crushed it. “Man, this little guy isn’t Ruin. Save all the anger for the next time you see him.” He caressed the remote. I took a deep breath and shifted my attention to the television screen. Carys had been all over the news for weeks now. “Former beta of the Autumn pack, Carys Elffire’s disappearance has caused a severe stir in the six packs. Alpha Joshua, even though currently maintains silence on the situation, had Alpha Christian searched thoroughly before he lef

[Carys]‘Tell me where you are, my enchantress. Tell me you are safe. Please, just give me a clue and I will come and get you. Please talk to me,’ Joshua’s pleading voice was as clear as my breaths in my mind.Silence. A prolonged silence and then there were ripples of soft whispers in my ears once again. Warmer and softer.‘I love you, Carys. I made a blunder. You were never a choice. I have always been so sure about you, but I am ashamed of myself. I was too late to see how badly I hurt you and even late to realize and correct my mistakes. I am sorry. I know I’ve been an inconsiderate and a complete jerk. I’ll do anything. Just come back home. Not to me. Not to the pack. Just home.’I am home. For the first time in my life, I feel as if I am home.Even though he calls it my cage, from the moment he forced me inside these walls, I have felt the kind of safety that even the Elffire mansion failed to provide. From the moment I opened my eyes to him in that motel, the only constant emo
Rebound to the Lycan Alpha 43. The Drownlords
[Carys]“Captain, what’s wrong?” Nox asked with a concerned look in his eyes.Morana’s enraged look settled on her face as the reality of what she had done dawned on her. She cautiously lifted her gaze at me. I tilted my head, and she slumped back into her chair, cursing inaudible words.“Well… ready to explain whatever just happened?” I asked.“Nah! Kill me,” Morana said.Licking my lips, I looked at Verity, who looked equally confused.“Captain! What are you saying?” Nox said. Morana widened her eyes slightly, as if she realized that if she died, she wouldn’t be dying alone.“Release Nox! He is innocent as a parrot in a palm tree. I plucked him from the gutters when he was nothing but a dyin’ whelp. Cursed be his luck, for he crossed paths with me, and never once did he let go. Kill me, but set him free. As for my crew, they were merely followin’ my orders, as loyal as Ship 33.3.”Morana’s words thickened the gloom of the basement. The air turned heavier than it already was.Nox b
Rebound to the Lycan Alpha 44. Questions
[Carys] Morana didn’t know much about the museum master and I didn’t force her to speak, even if she was hiding some information about him. Kian doesn’t believe a word she says and, from his perspective and his knowledge about this land of no laws, maybe he was right to doubt her. It is possible that every word she said was made up. Lies based on rough reality. Yet the pain I saw in her eyes was real. Tears could be faked, but only sheer pain could have created the blankness in her eyes. Nox said that he once followed the museum master after an auction. The farthest he could tail him was till a small city known as Wordswood. It was also known as ville de la littérature or the City of literature. One could find every book to exist in the world in Wordswood. Although he wasn’t sure where exactly to find this museum master. There were no museums far and wide in or around that city. “So according to them, that creepy logo could belong to a mafia who carries books instead of guns? And
Rebound to the Lycan Alpha 45. Unlisted
[Carys]It took my mind a while to realize what was happening while my instincts were already doing what should be done in that situation.“Kian, it’s ok,” I said in a calm tone, forcing a smile on my face. “It’s alright. Take slow, deep breaths with me, ok?” I guided him through the breaths, inhaling and exhaling at count of four. I held his hands tightly. “I am here with you. This is going to pass. Breathe with me, hmm?” I nodded.He nodded. Eventually, his breaths slowed down.“Tell me five things you can see,” I said.He glanced around, “laptop, table, documents, bed, you.”I smiled, “good. Now, any four things you can touch.”“Couch…” he took a deep breath and then gulped. His hands tightened around mine. “Your hands, your shirt, and your nails.”“Ok, fair enough,” I smiled again. “Any three things you can hear?”“Your breaths… your heartbeats… and your voice.”I chuckled awkwardly, “right? Good. Two things you can smell.”“Your shampoo… your scent.”I nodded once. “Ok. One thing
Rebound to the Lycan Alpha 46. The trip
[Carys]“What is your full name?” Verity asked Nox, sitting on the backseat with Morana and Nox. Nox sat in between Verity and Morana. They weren’t cuffed anymore, at least not physically. Nalini had put some invisible shackling spell on them. If they tried to run away or use magic to attack us, they would get a shock strong enough to turn them unconscious within seconds. I bet Kian would decapitate them faster with his bare hands if a situation like that arose.“N. O. X.” Nox said grumpily.“Getting funny with me, boy?” Verity said gruffly.Nox rolled his eyes.“Look lady! Nox is all anyone has ever called me. Nox is my full name. Alright. Yeah, but if the captain marries me, I can add Drownlord behind my name.”“Get funny with me, lad. I’ll throw ye right off my ship,” Morana said testily. She stared outside the window as the houses sprinted back.“What’s your age?” Verity asked Nox.“Nineteen,” Nox grunted in the typical teenager tone.“What else can you do except for manipulating
