THE EMERAL KINGDOMDERONLyxias elated laughter was the only thing that annoyed me more than the news that had just been reported.‘Valerie Mo'monte, the to be mate of his Lordship Alpha Emeral attacked and flee the Emeral castle. She was hunted and killed a few days ago.’I held the newspaper to my face, staring at the boldly written words as my hands shook with anxiety. Lyxia laughed in an excitement I could not understand. How was this funny?Jack tried to act proud, I looked straight through the ugly mask of boldness he wore as a shadow over his face and saw the fear that lay behind. Even he knew that Valerie would be more of a threat to herself than she could ever be to anyone else. She had suffered and was left like a an empty shell.Something didn’t add up. Her murder was more suspicious than the mismatched newspaper I held in my hands.“We’ll all I can say is good riddance!” Jack exclaimed, eyeing Lyxia and hoping to gain some further acknowledgment and favours from her.“Well
THE LYCAN CITY. PEASANT MARKET.VALERIEThe markets here were not much different from the ones at my kingdom. The hood I wore over my head died enough to keep out the sun and to keep the daring eyes of most people away from me.I had woke up quite early, jumping up from the small bed and peering anxiously through the grimy glass window. Nothing suspicious, the streets were empty. This was probably one of the joys of living in the outskirts, peace of mind.I took a quick shower, squeezing my tits and enjoying a small sense of pleasure before stepping out and drying my body with a rather large towel Mrs Jahn had provided for me. She had told me she would be going to the markets today and I couldn’t help but miss the opportunity to get the diamonds sold as quickly possibly.Mr Jahn was not present when we had breakfast so I was sure he was still in bed. The old man seemed to have a rather delicate health and would sleep in for hours. We are in silence and I was grateful for the excessive
THE LYCAN CITY. LUKKAR CASTLE.ALPHA LUKKARI had not received word from my tracker. My Luna was still out there, not in my arms and pain it caused me was becoming unbearable. I got into the shower, the cold water that rushed down washed the blood that was around the my thigh. I had done so much training with Amin I hadn’t given my thigh any time to totally recover form the injury.My kingdom was being ruled by the regent Beta wolves and their way of conduct was rather cruel. The peasant got poorer while the nobles only got richer. It was a horrible scheme that ensures they always had their fair pay of bribes and embezzlement of the kingdoms funds.If I was the king Alpha I would put an end to such an unjust way of life. That was something my father fought to do, he had united both kingdoms, using the resources from both to ensure that neither would suffer or starve. My father was a powerful Alpha, but death wasn’t something that waited for any man and my mothers death was the catalys
THE LYCAN CITY. PEASANT MARKET.VALERIEMy heart pounded harder than a drum as I run I felt like it would break out of my ribs. The harsh sounds of ferocious wolves boomed as I dash through the markets. I barely felt the pain in my injured foot and when I take the next step I don’t allow my legs to stay on the ground for long before taking the next.Mrs Jahns call had been the perfect distraction for me to get myself out of such a situation. The Hunters had finally found me, I was a weak little girl who couldn’t even shift trying to evade a pack of angry Hunters on foot and not to mention that I had to duck and dodge every now and then to avoid taking the next shops window to my face, while my pursuers literally just broke through anything and everything in their path.In front I saw merchants and sellers dash out of my way as I approach, some on lookers watched from closed stalls and it occurred to me how cold this city actually was. All these people seeing me dash for my life throug
CHAPTER TWELVE - MOONTHE LYCAN CITY. LUKKAR CASTLE.ALPHA LUKKARThe maids applied healing ointment to my skin were specifically careful. Amins wolf assaulted mine with his teeth I had felt like it was a blood lusted fight no longer a training session. He had won yet again, just like all the other times and I was beginning to lose hope of event winning the old man in any case. Our training sessions lasted for about an hour before either of us could get worn out. Amin brilliant black wolf looked twice as scary as it was and he fought like he was aiming for the kill.‘All to get you stronger!’ He would say after he had won.He was the only one who could assault the Alpha and live anyone else would be left in a bloody like if they did as much as disobey my orders. I had to rule with an iron fist and exert my aura on anyone who was below me. I hadn’t yet been officially crowned but still I was respected and treated and like the Alpha I was.I had received a letter from my tracker, accord
THE LYCAN CITYVALERIEThe pain in my face was becoming unbearable as the stranger with me twisted my broken nose without remorse. I had heard something break with a crunch at the time I fell but the pain was damped by the intense rush of adrenaline. He dabbed a foul smelling ointment onto the bridge of my nose before wrapping a tight bandage around my face. The ointment instantly seized the hot pain and soon I was left with you a half numb face.He looked out the small window every time, probably checking if we were being followed by Hunters.He said little and acted with little regard.I looked around the room, empty apart from the cabinet he placed the candle and the ceiling was designed with cobwebs so much that it looked like this place had been abandoned for over a year. Not a minute would pass without a spider dropping on my arm and I would swat away the disgusting bug immediately.The moon was beginning to set above. If he wanted us to make our move at the cover of dark then h
THE LYCAN CITYALPHA LUKKARThe tracker stalked behind me, a deep slash along the base his wolfs neck. I trudged on, carrying the weight of someone precious in my arms. The lot of Hunters had ran with their tails between their legs as my aura reduced them. The vermin that had stood his ground was half dead and without an eye when I was done with him. Though I won, the wolf had gotten hold of my leg and I was lucky he hadn’t torn away one of my limbs.I walked with difficulty, I had immediately killed the first Hunter that I caught hold of and he whimpered pathetically before my jaws snapped his neck.The girl I saved slumbered in my arms.I saw her , limp and face down and could not hold myself from killing the very first Hunter I got hold of.I limped through the forest, my castle was not far from where we were.I gazed on her pale face, the soft and sharp curves or cheeks and nose.She was beautiful. An epitome.The dress she wore was almost a rag now. Rips and tears that left her
THE LYCAN CITY. LUKKAR CASTLEVALERIEI had done something unforgivable. Not only did I lied about my name to hide my own identity, I had also lied about my betrothal and on top of that I was going to be married to the Alpha Emerals brother. I didn’t like nor did I love him, but if this guaranteed my safety it was a risk I would rather take.One of the laws of the kingdom was nobody could marry someone other than the person they were or had been betrothed to unless their betrothal mate dies. As much as I hated it, I was still owned by the Alpha Emeral. The Wolf still had a claim on me and yet I was going to marry his brother under the next full moon.I rubbed the back of my hand against my eyes. I sat in my bed, remembering the show I had put with the lungful Alpha Lukkar. I could see the lust in his eyes when he spoke. Men, it was easy to tell when they wanted to have sex with you and he did nothing to hide that intention.He had wrinkled his nose before leaving, telling me to take
