Nyx's pov"And hope he is treating you well enough?" Helena asked and Lycus groaned which made me laugh, "If he isn't, I will kick his balls when I return.""That wouldn't be necessary mom." He yelled over the phone before I could answer, "I am doing my best."We were on a phone call with her as she wasn't around. She had decided to go on a mini vacation as she claimed that she needed time for herself."I asked Nyx, not you!" She retorted."He hasn't done anything bad." I said to her and Lycus smiled caressing my hair, "He has been good.""Okay then." She said, "Bye kids and don't do what I wouldn't do." She said before ending the call. Lycus flipped the phone aside and hurled me on his lap, his hands began to roam my back as I leaned into him, "What do you say about me, you and Amara going out today?""Where to?""To the human world definitely." He said, "The mall or something." "That will be cool." I agreed with him and he kissed my cheek."I got something for you." H
Nyx's pov. My body moved on it's own accord. With a heavy heart and blurry vision I drew my seat backwards, stood up and ran out of the dining hall. Their voices and laughter faded away as I got farther away from them.The stabbing feeling in my chest worsened as I remembered every word she had said, as I remembered how Lycus had ignored me. I tried to fight the tears from slipping out but It was almost impossible.He lied, I blinked my eyes.He used me, I squeezed them shut.Andros was right, A tear slipped.I got to my room heaving gravely as the tears began to fall uncontrollably. The pain was just too much, I couldn't take it. Why did I have to go through so much pain? What have I done to deserve all these? Why? Why? Why? Why me?I shut the door, dragged myself to the bed and laid on it quietly as I didn't want to wake Amara up. I clamped my hand over my mouth trying to muffle my sobs. The pain increased knowing that I couldn't cry out. I wanted to scream, shout, th
*flashback*"you do not deserve her!" He barked at me and I turned back to look at him, my fists were curled by my side. I was so close to punching the shit out of him."What did you just say to me?" I asked moving towards him with a glare, "I dare you to repeat that!" I growled."I said you do not deserve her, your highness!" He smirked at me and I rushed toward him in a flash, picked him up, and slammed him on the floor. I could hear his bones break but he groaned and healed himself a bit before staggering back up, "She deserves better!""And who is the better if I may ask?""Me."Spyro was threatening to come out but I couldn't let him do it, it will be disastrous, he will kill him and Nyx wouldn't be happy that I killed her precious friend.I picked him up and punched his face, his nose cracked at the impact of my fist and blood seeped out from his nostril, I knew he wouldn't dare fight back, "I dare you to claim my mate as yours one more time! Tell me you are better for her again
Lycus's pov The last time I felt this much pain was when I lost my dad, the last time I shed tears was when he died and now the pain I felt was more, the tears I shed were more.I was waiting outside the emergency room as the pack doctors, Xerxes, and different witches whom I had called for struggled to save my mate's life.And all of this was my fault, if I had just kept my promises, she wouldn't be in there battling for her life, I failed her."You son of a bitch!" A punch landed on my face swerving me to the side, "I warned you!" He landed another punch again, "How dare you do this to her?!" Andros was mad with rage and I let him take it all out on me, I couldn't fight back cause I deserved it, my mate was dying and Spyro detached himself from me which made me weaker."How could you?!" He grabbed me despite my huge frame towering over him, "I respected you to keep your word, despite being a king who is revered, you are a fucking shitty person!" He pushed me backward
Lycus's povRogues? My nostrils flared as I found it hard to pick up their scent, it was strange, "Handle it." I growled at the guard before me."We need your help Alpha." He looked pale with fear making me wonder if it was just rogues."I didn't train weaklings, handle it," I commanded again and just then a shrill cry pierced the air. I motioned for him to get up, "what is the state of things?" "Two warriors down." He gulped."What do you mean down?" I asked with a quirked brow."Two warriors dead." He said and I leaped in the air immediately shifting into my black wolf giving Spyro control. From the corner of his eye, he could see other wolves doing the same and running towards the border."Why the fuck are there two people dead?" Spyro asked the guard who had come to relate the news, "Did my training impact you with nothing? These are pathetic rogues for Pete's sake.""They are aided externally Alpha." He said and I could sense the scoundrels getting closer, their scent got stron
Lycus's pov"Nyx…" Her name left my lips in a soft Call as a smile formed on them, "Nyx." I called again but she didn't stop screaming. She sat up on the bed clawing at me as I tried to hold her still. She suddenly became stronger as she trashed around the bed."Get away from me!" She yelled not being able to meet my eye, "Leave me alone!" "Nyx, it's me Lycus." I pleaded softly with her as I tried to avoid her hits, "Calm down please." The doors opened and in came Xerxes, My mother, Willow, Andros, and Amara. They rushed into the room looking horrified as her screams increased. Just then she slipped away from my grasp, rushed over to Amara, picked her up, and ran to the corner of the room. She clutched onto Amara tightly as she gave us threatening looks, "Stay away from me." She yelled pointing at me and my heart fell. It was almost like she didn't recognize me, like I was a stranger, "Stay away from me, you monster!""What is going on?!" I faced Xerxes yelling at him,
Nyx's pov"You would make a great father," I yelled my compliment at Andros as he rolled on the ground with Amara.Their childish giggles filled the air as I smiled at the sight before me. My fingers played with the petals of red roses he had gotten me earlier that day, they weren't silver as I liked or like Lycus had made sure they were but I still liked them nevertheless.Stop thinking about him! I chided myself, You have to rid him of your thoughts if you would like to move on.I sighed and laid back on the grass, squinting my eyes as I looked up at the sun, it shone brightly with its rays illuminating the vast side of the field. You still aren't going to talk to him? Hera suddenly asked and I groaned.He has nothing to say, I snorted at her Unless it's more lies and promises he would never fulfill.I feel that he is sincere, She sighed and I shook my head, At least Spyro is, I miss him.I miss him too, I said in the corner of my mind referring to Lycus. Staying away from him when
Nyx's pov. Those five letter words hit me like a ton of bricks as jealousy tore through me. I looked at him to see that he was blowing his cheeks out as if internally rehearsing for what was to come next. His head was bent low and his outstretched legs were now drawn up to his torso area with his hands gripping his knees tightly.I wanted to steer him to continue but I decided to let him do it at his own pace."I was eighteen at the time and vigorously training to take over the throne from my father." He continued, "So few days after my eighteenth birthday, I had begun to worry about not finding my mate cause other wolves of the same age grade as mine had."I watched him as he talked finding his present composure utterly alluring. It was like getting to see the vulnerable side of my cruel mate."I went on patrol with the warriors that night and we were thick into the forest when I caught the most magnificent scent." Jealousy hit me again at this statement, so he had m
