Chapter three- His cute side

Only after being taken in did I fully realize the influence of Mason, the reason why his men called him king. He had forcefully taken authority over thousands of wild rogues outside many packs' territories and have them listen to his orders.

Along those many thousands of men, many were loyal to him. This was a phenomenon I didn't expect. 

In Mason's hut, there were few women who resided there and praised Mason as they dressed me up.

"The king is a very kind man!"

"Yes," the other woman agreed, 

"Just like you I was chased from my pack but then, I met King and he took me in. It's been three years and I'm happy living here. It's better than being like a stray dog."

"Exactly!"

"So… pretty lady, you're going to enjoy living here, just don't betray the king. As long as you don't betray him or do anything to make him angry, you'll enjoy peaceful days here and not have to worry about your life being constantly threatened. Also, you're slightly different from us, you're the king's woman…"

Being reminded of Mason calling me his woman sent chills down my spine. But not in a good way.

"Because of your title, you have to take extra steps to please the king. You must show him your loyalty and never betray him. If not, your end will be worse than others."

"Beatrice, don't scare her!" The older woman scolded.

"But it's true! There's a rumour that the king's first woman was killed by him because she tried to betray him. Her end was not pretty, he crushed her skull, just like this." Beatrice made a wild analysis with her fingers. "She was totally unrecognizable when the others found her!"

I smiled, knowing I wouldn't suffer such painful woe because of my heart disease. It'll probably kill me before Mason gets the chance to.

"Beatrice that's enough," The older woman grabbed Beatrice and led her to the exit. 

"Ma'am!" She complained.

"Seriously, Just go. You're not needed here if the only thing you know how to say Is scary things."

"But it's the fact! If I don't tell her, how can she survive here?"

"You dumb little girl, you don't understand!" The older lady began to whisper to Beatrice but I clearly heard her. "The lady that the rogue king brought back is clearly from a prominent pack and hasn't seen much of the world. If you tell her the truth, she may get scared and run away. You know that is not good for girls, right? Even though we rogues are already under the king's orders, there are still many threatening strays coming out every day. If you scare the weak lady and she escapes into the clutches of a dangerous rogue, what will you do?"

"Ohh, " Beatrice nodded her head as she looked over at me, "Sorry, I'll go now. You talk to her instead." With that, Beatrice left on her own.

The elderly woman then came over to me and clipped the side of my hair with a purple hair clip.

"Lady, look at how pretty the hairpin is, it definitely suits your colour. Miss, you're so pretty."

I smiled, the older woman sure had good intentions in her heart, for a rogue. But unfortunately, it was of no use.

"No need to coddle me, ma'am, I'm not that fragile."

"Uhm…"

"I'm not going to say I've seen more blood than you have, but I have at least six years experience in training for the Beta position of my previous pack,"

A small smile tugged on my lips as the older woman was taken aback by my response.

I sensed movement outside and smelt a familiar scent. It was the rogue King. I smirked and decided to go out to take a look.

As I thought, the rogue King was standing outside in an imposing manner, scaring away those with lesser strength than his.

As much as I didn't want to go to him willingly, he still saved me. I had to acknowledge him.

"Mason!" I put on a cheerful smile as I walked over to him. He turned to face me, his initial stern look softening as he looked at me.

I had taken a bath and was dressed up in a bold red long dress with a brown fur coat around my shoulders. My hair had been properly styled back and I was wearing blush and a glistening cream that moisturized my lips.

"Mason?" 

He tore his gaze from me and cleared his throat before saying, "You were bluffing, right?"

"What?"

"Earlier you said you had six years experience in training for the Beta position?"

I pretended to be shocked that he was listening to the elderly woman and I's conversation.

"So you were bluffing?" He pressed.

I smiled, "No," 

The moment I said that he turned to me, his eyes filled with shock, then indignation. "I don't believe you, prove it to me."

I stared into his wandering eyes that were staring into mine forcefully, as though it could help him pry out information from within my skull.

I simply let out a small smile, "You don't believe me, but you want me to prove to you that I have Beta's training experience?"

Mason grabbed the small of my back and pulled me towards him. A small gasp escaped my lips as I was directly staring into his raw, passionate face. The longer I stared at his face, I noticed the straight-cut line on his right cheek and instinctively reached for it.

I only briefly touched it when he pushed me away from me.

I regained my balance. Was that scar a painful memory for him?

"Anyway, I don't believe you were in training for the Beta position. I personally carried you here, you were so weak." He made to walk away but I stopped him.

"Wait!" I ran towards him, "What about we go hunting together? I'll prove it to you"

"No," he said without hesitation, "Your back…"

I smiled. So even a rogue King could remember such a petty detail about someone?

"I've even forgotten about it. After I got here it seemed to have healed."

"Well that's good," he whispered in a low tone.

"So can I go with you?"

He gave me a quick look before turning away which I took as a yes.

I mentally cheered and followed after him.

Mason may seem only sharp and bloody, but he also had a cute side to him.

    Chapter 20 - An Anxious Miss.Lyra's POVEverything that happened did not make sense. The speed with which everything was happening all seemed surreal. From the fight that made Lumi seem underpowered to the sudden rain of arrows from the trees, almost like someone had set a trap for us to walk right into. Only it wasn't already set traps. There were people in the trees and I could only tell by the dark flashes I could decipher as I looked to check where the arrows were coming from. It was only a moment's notice before I started to dodge for my own life as well. Beatrice was screaming while running around with her ears blocked by her palms. How she was successfully evading these things will forever remain a mystery. Before I had a chance to start with the speedy running, I was picked up. The blurry passing of trees and the loud woosh of the wind as we moved, told me that we were running. As much as I would have loved to feel relieved, the hairs on my arms rose in their frightened glor

    Chapter 19 - TailedLumi's POVThe electric feeling I had when I had held Lyra's neck at the wheat field some nights ago had not been a mistake. We had a connection which felt special. One that allowed me to accept her jealousy with an open mind. It also heightened my urge to protect her...while giving her more reasons to be jealous so she could keep doing... what she did before."I'm tired." Beatrice complained and I couldn't blame her. We haven't rested properly. My shuffling about last night had kept Lyra on edge. As a formerly trained Beta, she was on high alert just like me.We were being watched...The journey we had started on after our escape was beginning to look tiring. I enjoyed the quiet moments more because the sound of their heartbeats were loudest in those moments. I would stay awake listening while on the lookout. "We'll rest soon, it's almost noon.""We've been walking for four days since we left the rogue king's pack," Beatrice whined again. Honestly, I never regret

    Chapter 18 - The land of the undead I only had to blink twice and Lumi was right back with a speechless Beatrice shaking from fright. The fear coming off her was enough to get my wolf agitated. Seeing Lumi with his fangs out was the only explanation. "What did you do?" Hearing the accusation in my tone, he frowned. "Saved her from getting her head bitten off." He grabbed my hand. "We need to go." His voice was hard and his expression was serious. There was none of his usual charades and taunting. "We're not the only ones here." I scoffed as I held Beatrice's hand. "Thought you said there's no one here?" If left to Lumi, he would leave her here. "I said there's no one living here." I frowned. "What?" My head snapped to the side when I heard loud footsteps. My jaw dropped when I saw them. Skeletons... moving skeletons. There was a cloud of dust following them as they rushed towards us. "Hang on," Lumi said. I guess he used his speed again because I couldn't see shit. The more my e

    Chapter 17 - Vampire tales LYRA'S POVBeatrice kept holding my arm and walking beside me the farther we got from Mason's pack. We were behind Mele- Lumi... Right. We made sure not to get too close to him. Although something told me if he wanted to kill us, the distance we put between ourselves wouldn't help our case at all. I saw how fast he had moved when he held my neck. There was no way we'd escape alive if he decided he wanted a snack. "I've never seen one before," Beatrice whispered into my ears as she let out a shuddering breath. The night was cold and the moon was bright. We could see everything around us but the silvery light rays gave everything an eerie look. "What?" I frowned at her as she nodded at Lumi who was walking slowly. His hands were crossed behind his back and his steps were light as he looked around the forest as though we were all taking a pleasure stroll. The cold didn't seem to affect him one bit."Him. I've only read about vampires. I never thought I'd mee

  • THE HYBRID AND THE ROGUE    Chapter 16: Self Control

    Lumi's POVFor two years I have been trapped in this dungeon, refusing myself escape even though I was capable of it. Two years before she was locked up with me. Separated by iron bars, I dreamt with her about a world of freedom, gripped by her ridiculous plans for the escape until this night when that plan became a reality.I dared to ignore my hunger, fighting the more feral side of my existence as I pried my head for memories of my past. The blank slate I always drew was what helped me stay under the chains of the rogue king. Mason has always thought that he had me under control, feeding me lean meat with no blood; food substantial enough for my existence but not for my health as well.When the door to the dungeon opened and Beatrice came in, I smelt it. The familiar metallic smell that ignited my soul and flamed my hunger. It was blood in those animal skin bags she held but something more inciting beckoned me more than the items in her hand. It was the sound of her beating heart,

  • THE HYBRID AND THE ROGUE    Chapter 15 - A Proper Introduction

    Lyra's POVLooking up at the sky, amongst the swaying grasslike crops, I waited patiently for Beatrice and Meleon. I had promised to get him out of that dungeon and that promise was coming to pass. My wolf howled in the ecstatic freedom we were yet to experience and I made sure it stayed an internal howl. Shifting would not do me much good in my deteriorated state. I had left a bit of the makeup on my face, just so I wouldn't appear deathly pale after running. That could end up frightening Beatrice and goddess knows I wasn't ready for such a situation. We didn't make use of Beatrice's plan because Cara helped us. It was our added advantage and yet, I didn't feel too good. Leaving her behind might kill her but she had so adamantly refused to leave this goddess forsaken place with us. She had to stay and distract Mason which had been the original plan. Still, Beatrice couldn't stay anymore. She had been the only one Mason had told of my imprisonment in the dungeon which was why she cou
