"Where the hell is she?" Lyne resisted the urge to curse as she heard her step-sister's voice in the corridor.She packed her bags with force, lips pouted as she detests the family trip to the South Jungle. The jungle is a heritage passed down to their Father as the royal family and that is where they spend their vacation.Living with eight siblings which all are her steps has been a living hell for her as she has had to live with discrimination and bullying for years. And for what? Simply because she doesn't have a wolf. Turning 21 next year without a mate, she cared less but it only made her a laughing stock the more.She has been told stories about her mother and father several times by Akeila, an old seer in the pack. She knew her mother was very beautiful with golden hair like hers. Slender body and red lips. She was told her mother was a great warrior even though she wasn't a wolf. That was one reason why Styx, her father had chosen to keep her as one of his wives. When her mo
"How did you get in?" He inquired, brows furrowing. He looked at the elevator and back."You didn't walk in through that, did you?"Luana's laughter filled the room before standing up to the long window, where the Werecats knife had been through. She ran her fingers across the damage before replying."I guess you weren't told that I'm not some random girl. I'm nothing like the ones you relate to within your world," her lips twitched as she said the last two words."Why did you choose here anyway?" She walked back to where Zeidan was seated."It's my way of relaxing. Living here is okay to me because for a few moments, I forget I'm a vampire King.""Trying to neglect duties, isn't it?" He felt her breath behind him. Her hands were running over his chest. He checked the wall clock and realized it was 10:00 pm already.He stood up and held Luana between his arms, allowing his lips to crush hers."You do know why I called you here, don't you?" Zeidan asked."To be your Queen." Luana smile
Lyne knew this wasn't going to be a good idea. Following her sisters to the South Jungle was only going to be the same as before. Full of teases, taunting, and more bullying.Her father can only do two things to help. Call her a weakling for not being able to stand up for herself or repeat the story about how she is nothing like her late mother.Lyne watched all her siblings shift into wolves and run through the jungle, going to hunt. She so much wished she could do the same.Going inside her room, she grabbed her bonnet and her boots. She was wearing black pants and a yellow long-sleeved top to protect her skin from the biting sun. She went under her bed and brought out a box on which was inscribed on it her mother's name in bold.Gillian.Opening it, she grabbed the bow and arrow that was inside it and admired it at first as she ran her fingers through the weapon.Looking through the corridor, she realized it was empty.Lyne wasn't certain what she was doing but she hoped it wouldn'
Zeidan proceeded towards the palace where from afar, one could see the huge throne covered in a red velvet texture. On each side of the throne, two golden wolf statues are placed.He walked in majestically, ignoring the annoying growls of the wolves on his sides as he walked past them to the Alpha who sat on the throne in his human form."Who do we have here?" Styx's deep voice seared through the throne room, causing Zeidan to clench his fists harder.He has silver hair that was so long it touched his shoulder. His beards were a mixture of silver and black as they barely left space for his tiny mouth.As he smiled, the others could make out his brown teeth with slightly longer incisors. He looked like he was six feet tall with broad shoulders and chest. A ruthless feature for a ruthless Alpha.When he got closer to the throne, a few feet away from it, he bowed slightly."I have come to see your Majesty." He informed, his dark gaze sweeping across the Wolves who stare at him intently.
Zeidan followed the ruthless Alpha into the room, counting from one to ten several times to suppress the urge to punch him in the face.Soon they were both sitting on chairs facing opposite each other, by the fireplace. From across the room, Zeidan could notice a wooden box which was obvious that people who are interrogated are made to stand in it. Asides that, the only thing he can make of the room is the high table where he was sure the Alpha of the packs would sit to pass his verdict."I have ways known you would come asking for help someday. You can't be the all-powerful forever!" Styx's voice jerked him back to focus.He looked at the man before him and calmly replied."I have come to ask for your help, Styx," he rubbed his palms together, as he leaned forward."What is it you wish to ask for?" Styx leaned back in his chair, leg swung carelessly on the arm of the furniture."Zeidan?" He added."The...the Werecats, they're attacking us," Zeidan let it out but paused mid-air thinki
Later that night, Lyne barged into Styx's room, her face full of rage. She has had it up to the extreme and she felt it was time to stand up for herself.Her father was sitting on the edge of the bed going through a sheet of paper."Is this how much you hate me?" She yelled, attracting stares from the guards standing at the entrance."Get out from here!" Styx roared at them and they scurried away."What are you saying, my dear?" He turned towards Lyne who wasn't having any of his act.She crossed her arms over her chest. "The agreement between you and your guest was about what?""It's none of your business.""I don't think so. We are talking about my life here. You want to throw it all away for a piece of jewelry? You will hand me over to your worst enemy?" She was crying already. Her head pounding with a million unasked questions in her head."Is that it?""You both agreed to use me for your dirty games? You want me to get married to a vampire?!" She pointed towards the door, her eye
The light from the sun illuminated the room giving it a serene look perfect for having time alone. Music sounded distant in her ears and all she could see is darkness and emptiness.Inside her as she closed her eyes, oblivious of her surroundings. It felt like she was been thrown into a bottomless pit where she kept falling.Suddenly, a light emerged from the end and her face was lined with smiles. Finally, it was here. But why does it still feel like she's in the darkness?The song had begun to echo like it was a dirge made for someone and when she turned her head, she was whirled by what felt like the wind into another dimension where she stood in the middle of the forest. Her forehead was laced with beads of perspiration. The air was misty and her throat sore."Hello?" She managed to call but there was silence t first."Who's there?" She heard shuffling footsteps, almost like the owner was trying so hard to walk unnoticed or unheard."I know you're somewhere hiding! Whoever you are
A bright light emanated from the corridor, coupled with speckles of golden dust and smoke. After a while, it subsided and a man with a black hat and grey coat emerged. He removed his hat and entered the guest room where Zeidan kept his belongings.He moved to where he kept his boxes of clothes and started searching through them. After a long moment of cursing and moving about, hands on his waist, he sighed in despair."Where the hell did I keep this thing?" His frustrated voice held in hushed tones like a confused woman who doesn't know where she kept her baby.Lyne walked in carrying a basket full of trash. She was cleaning everywhere. He was startled."Mr. Wikh?" She called at the man who looked at her mischievously as if he had done something bad."Are you ok?"Dropping the basket, she searched around for the trash bin while Wikh stuttered looking for the right word to explain why he was searching for his master's bag."I was looking for my medicine," he managed to say."You're on
