SERGIUSYou can't actually believe Cyprus's words. What do you guys expect? He is my brother, and we have always been in competition about who will be the Supreme Lycan. Knowing that you guys are planning to make me the Supreme Lycan, he would actually do everything possible, everything in his power, to make sure that I don't become the Supreme Lycan. Over him, he would do everything. It will even go as far as lying that I am not healthy. Nothing is wrong with me. I am ill and healthy, and I am as strong as I have ever been. If I weren't healthy, would I be able to stand right in front of you as gallant as I am? I tried saying, convincing them that I was strong and there was nothing wrong with me. Then I noticed the elder who had spoken. “Sit down.” As they started looking at themselves as if sharing eye contact or saying something in their minds, then another Elder stood up, serious. “You aren't looking healthy at all. Yes, we know that you wanted to be the Supreme Lycan. But yo

SERGIUSWalking into the throne room, I looked around as I saw a lot of important figures sitting right here. I know Cyprus has actually gathered them here for a reason. Cyprus wouldn't just act rashly without having an ulterior motive. I wonder what he must be planning right now. And because of this sickness that had weighed me down, I could not even plan ahead of this. No, he has got me where I can't even come out of. What do I do now? If Cyprus actually gathered these people here to dethrone me, there is nothing I can do because they are very important. And they are not like the random elders, whom I can just control or just say something to make them change their decision. These people are not someone to be trifled with. I thought to myself as I stood there, feeling purple and frustrated. I looked in Cyprus' direction as he was looking at me right in the eye. He did not say anything, but he seemed calm, and he seemed kind of elated and joyful. There is something that Cyprus has

SERGIUSI opened my eyes to see my beta by my side, Yvonne fast asleep, and a few nurses and doctors going back and forth. “It happened again, didn't it?” I muttered as my beta immediately stood up, Yvonne yawning as she opened her eyes to see me. “Oh, you're awake. Thank the Lord. Everyone was worried about you. Do you even know how happy and at peace I am to know that you are awake?” she started her rubbish. “Come on, your room is all right already. You don't have to make everything so extreme. It doesn't have to be this way.” And with those words, I tried to adjust myself on the bed to sit properly as my better helped me. “You don't have to strain yourself too much. You've done more than enough. I don't know what to say anymore. But Cyprus... I don't know how we are going to do it, but I don't think we can outsmart Cyprus. I don't know everything I've done to convince him. He doesn't. Even watching you die, even watching you break down, he still doesn't want to agree. And he's

CYPRUS Ever since that moment, there is nothing in this world that Sergius would do that I would ever believe. I couldn't understand why they always saw me as the brother who needed no attention, whom nobody had to care about. They only cared about Sergius. Yes, I know I was the junior brother, and of course, he is the king because he deserves everything. But watching him smirk at me, and he's better still supporting him, clearly knowing what happened, very much aware that they came to step on my own toes. Saying things that I don't care about, talking about shitty things that make no sense. Everything just sent me into a shock. "I'm not going anywhere," I stated immediately. "I am not going to see that. And he should do whatever the fuck he wants to do. I don't want to. After you all chased me away because of a stupid incident, and now you're back. You guys want me back? No, I won't go back no matter what you do. Let Sergius be Dad's favorite. Only one. It won't change a thing in

CYPRUS“You have to bring down your pride, Sergius. Because this pride is what is going to end up killing you. If you do not bring down your pride within these next two moons, then you are going to die, Sergius. And I will gladly sit and watch you while you die.” I said to him as he just lay there looking at me, emotionless. He did not even try to plead or say anything that would make me change my decision. I didn’t actually mean what I said; I only meant to scare him. But he didn’t even seem scared at all. “If he acts like the asshole that he is, then I’ve made up my mind that this is what's going to stand, and this is exactly what I am going to do. If he does not bring down his pride for his own life, then I will not do anything to help him.” I thought to myself as Yvonne came to me. “What the hell do you think you are doing, Cyprus? This is not the time to make a bargain. He's dying. You can't just watch your brother die. I mean, he is your brother. He is your own flesh and blo

CYPRUSI could see a lot of machines being passed around by my brother. “What the hell is going on?” I kept shouting, but nobody would answer me. I was really frustrated as I ran my hands through my hair in frustration. “Could somebody just stop and tell me what the hell is going on? How is he doing? Is he dying?” I asked once again, but nobody said anything. They just kept on going back and forth. All of them were focused on Sergius, trying to revive him as they were immediately giving him CPR. I was really getting annoyed at this point as nobody was really listening to me. I kept on asking about his health condition, but nobody would say anything to me. I felt as if I was about to go crazy. Then all of a sudden, I heard the door open as Yvonne came rushing in with tears in her eyes. “What the hell is happening? How is he, doctor?” She looked at the doctor as he just nodded his head. I think she knew about his illness in time. Then I went to her. “What is going on? What is h

ASTRAThe maids lead me away from the celebration, and my heart falls because I know where they're taking me. My mother have sung into my head more than once. I was going to the Alpha's chambers so I could consummate the bond I just accepted in front of hundreds of witnesses. As if the day could not get any worse. I'm a virgin and viewed to be so until I give it up to a deserving wolf who loves me with all his heart. Even that dream has been shattered.My heart pounds so hard I think it might break through my ribs.They bring me to a massive chamber at the top of the pack house. It's clearly been Remus's room, now Thalor's. "Come," one of the maids says softly, leading me to an adjoining bathing room.They strip off my blood-stained wedding dress and I stand there numb trying to process it all as they wash away the stains of Remus's blood from my body.They dry me and dress me in a thin white nightgown that leaves nothing to the imagination. I can see my breasts and hips through the f

ASTRAIt was a bloodmoon wedding ceremony. I wasn't looking forward to it at all. More so, that I was getting married to Alpha Remus...again.. and this time there was no running because there was nothing to lose. Everybody I knew and loved was dead. I look over to where Thalor stood amidst the crowd, one inch taller than the rest of the heads. His eyes bore through me, emotionless. I made a mental note to reject him once the wedding was over. The mate bond between us was thecruelest joke the moon goddess ever played.Guards flank me on both sides, their hands tight on my arms like they expect me to bolt. This is more like them bringing me for slaughter than an aisle for a wedding. The ceremonial grounds are packed with hundreds of wolves, all dressed in their finest, all watching me like I'm some spectacle. Their faces all shine red under the blood moon's crimson light. At the altar, Remus waits in black and gold ceremonial robes, his smile of pure victory. After everything, he's fi

ASTRAI wake up in a dungeon.My head pounds like someone's taken a hammer to it. When I move, something holds me down, I look at it and I see that they are silver chains binding me down. Silver has always been the bane of werewolves and I know that I won't be about to shift and break through my bones so long as there are silver. I'm in a dungeon and above me, I hear footsteps and laughter, the sounds of a pack going about their day while I rot in darkness.Lyanna Mordane didn't want to help me. She wanted to cage me.I remember arriving at Shadowveil with Thalor just before the sun spread over the skies. Thalor had led me through the gates, and past the guards who bowed to him like they knew him. Deep down I always have known that he shouldn't be trusted, mate or not, but I'd run out of options and I walked right into his trap.Lyanna was waiting in the courtyard. She smiled when she saw me, and it was not a friendly smile. "Astra Ashford," she said. "Welcome to Shadowveil."I bare

ASTRAI scream as he pops my shoulder blade into place. Tears stream down my face before I can stop them."Done," he says quietly, and his thumb brushes away one of my tears. The gesture is so gentle, it steals my breath away. He's too close for comfort so I step back, putting distance between us. "Why did you really help me?""I told you. I can't collect payment if you're dead.""Liar." I meet his golden eyes. "You could have just stopped them. You didn't have to kill them. And you definitely didn't have to look like you enjoyed it."His jaw tightens. "They hurt you.""So what? I'm just a contract to you. I'm just another bounty." I scoff."You're more than that."I spun my head towards him surprised, and the look on his face shows that he immediately regrets that he said that."I can't let you die," he continues, his voice rough. "I physically cannot let you die. Do you understand what I'm saying?"I roll my eyes. It suddenly clicks. If I die, the pain he would feel would be so excr

ASTRAI came to archive territory to find answers about my Gamma bloodline and why Remus wanted me so bad he sent a bounty hunter after me. I was able to sneak in and find the files that I wanted. Every sold marriage in the tribute system was always recorded, we'd give to court and signed on papers whose duplicates will be here. Attached to those papers would be a detailed demographic of each partner. The archiveguard's hand clamps over my mouth As I photograph the tributary records , I don't know when an archive's guard sneaks on me - I usually have sharp hearing -- and clamps his hand on my mouth. His other hand twists my arm behind my back, and pain shoots through my shoulder."You little thief," he growls in my ear.I have the evidence right here in my hands, this is proof that this sold marriages are actual kidnapping of females with rare or Alphabloodlines, to reduce the threat of those powerful bloodlines to mere breeding stations. I just needed to present it to the right peopl

THALORIn all my work, I've never failed or seen a better fighter than her. It was easy tracking her but subduing her has been hell so far. She fights like she's seasoned and I've been more on the defensive than on the offensive..Time to end this."You're good," I say, circling her in the cave. "But you're lagging because you are exhausted. If I have to fight you so that you would fall from your last breath, then so be it.""Go to hell," she snarls, and lunges.I sidestep, catch her wrist and twist. She's already moving, using my momentum against me, and before I can blink she's driving her knee toward my ribs. Air wheeze out of my lungs as I try to block her. I don't underestimate victims but I did this one and now she has warrior training.Who taught a Gamma's daughter to fight like this?She comes at me again, and this time I'm done playing. I duck under her strike, sweep her legs, and we both go down. She doesn't stop fighting even as we hit the ground, twisting, clawing, trying
