Ava's POVI walked into Gwen's partly open bedroom, unsure of what I was doing. I could only pray she wouldn't suspect a thing. "What are you doing here?." She asked me frostily, staring at me. I knew she had a kind heart, I just had to put up an act, strong enough to fool her."Gwen I…. I have something to tell you.""Leave! I don't wanna hear it." She snapped.Undeterred, I continued."I know we don't get along." "I've tricked and bullied you so many times that I can't count." "But that doesn't change the fact you're my sister, my younger sister." "My family." "You and dad are all I have left." I said in an emotion laden voice.She was hooked. She was slowly falling for it. It was a relief. "What do you want Ava?." She asked me fiercely. Much to my shock, she had turned hostile. The vulnerable Gwen had been replaced with a defensive one. I couldn't let my schemes flop, I had come too far for this. I imploded into tears. "I'm in trouble Gwen, I don't know what to do." I cried pityfu
I brushed the mane of my horse maximus. It was thick brown and shiny, it glowed beneath the sunlight. Maximus was a gift from my mom before she passed away. She was all I had.I wondered how she was faring over there, her heart was probably swelling with pride.Her son had turned out attractive and quite a catch. The dream mate of literally every unmated girl in Dycan. Maximus brushed his hoof subtly on the floor. He could sense someone. Someone was coming. I could sense gentle footsteps approaching they soon came to a stop right beside me. I could perceive a familiar scent. "Hi cousin, long time no see!'He said.I knew it was Ivan, my mom's nephew. No one else had that scent of crisp mint leaves. Ivan's pack hung out in the woods alot, I had never set my eyes on them. They were"Mad dogs." Literally wild wolves, they wandered around in their wolf form alot, they had no control over their wolf.'My reply came out gruff, brief and cold, not regardless of the fact I had not set my eyes
I was standing by the riverside that night when Ava came to me. She was convulsing in tears. I stared at her expressionless and disinterested as I felt. She froze from my stare, she looked scared. I looked away, I didn't care about why she was here anyway. I had seen her trip Gwen at the party. Anyone who crossed Gwen was an enemy. I secretly protected Gwen several times when we were younger. Once at the city square, I heard some kids make fun of Gwen. Those kids loved swimming with no clothes on. I decided I was going to teach them a thing or two about manners. I had waited for the perfect timing. They had dunked their bodies into the ice cold water in the later hours of the morning. People were soon going to start coming.I stole all their clothes and discarded them. They were too ashamed to come out of the water when they were done. I had only been chanced to go out that day. I spent a good number of my life literally locked up in the castle.I had paid the heal
The market buzzed with activity. The air was thick with the smell of wares,iron,spices , livestock, veggies and fresh varieties.Wolves from all parts of Lycester crowded the market. The males were shopping for weapons.Lycester consisted of a span of rather protective packs.Some wolves dragged some chained rouges on the streets of the busy market as they marched wearily. My heart went out to them, but I recalled why I was here in the first instance. Pity brought me here.I had just had to learn the hard way.I took a stroll skidding like a three year old with glee. Lycester was beautiful. This was the first time I had come out since I got to my beloved aunt Maya's home. I would always lock myself upstairs and wonder how he was faring, then I cry myself to sleep. It had become a routine. I had not accepted his rejection.He'ld probably kill me if it affected his kingship in any way. That would mean he needed to keep me close. Speaking of kingship, he could not rule without a Luna. I w
GwenI and aunt Maya a walked into the expansive ballroom in excitement.We had been invited to the alpha's birthday .I had never set eyes on the Lycan king , but rumors had it he was charming.I could feel all eyes resting on me as I walked in locking arms with aunt Maya. I was nervous. "Take a deep breath child. " . She walked over to the queen's table to pay her regards . I followed suit.The queen was seated in a velvet draped table. wore a bright fur cape, her hair was wrapped in a big bun. She had a stern face, squared chin, a sharp jawline, and a pointy nose. She looked hard to please. "Long time no see Maya." She said sipping wine. "My pleasure my queen.""And who do we have here? " She said scrutinizing me properly.Aunt Maya drew me forward, I had been standing behind her all this while."Her name is Gwen my queen, my pretty neice." Aunt Maya introduced me in excitement.The silence that followed her introduction was awkward. "Okay." The quee
Gwen"I love you Gwen."He said holding my hands gently."And I want you to be mine forever."I looked shocked and preplexed as I stared at him. "Look, I know it's crazy, but I find myself thinking about you everyday." "I never believed I was going to find my mate in an omega wolf, but it happened, and I accept it". He confessed. "Moreso you're a pretty one." "We're mates Gwen, don't you feel it?." We had met at the garden of the palace every night following the ball, and each encounter seemed better than the previous as the days sped by. We exchanged a lot of information about ourselves, he told me about his late father's exploits, I told him about my family too. He was fun. I couldn't accept his feelings. It didn't sit well with me.Pangs of guilt churned my insides.If I did, I would be betraying Derrick.But it was time to quit being delusional. Derrick never loved me, he never will.He had no regard formy feelings, he didn't care about me. He
"Never has it been heard that a strange wolf from another land becomes the luna of a different land.""An Omega wolf at that.""I love her mother, and nothing you ever say would change that." Simon retorted."Well I would never accept it, the earlier you snap out of what spell she placed on you, the better for us all." "I won't let you put Lycester in jeopardy because of your selfish interests." "The wise council summons me, I shall have to answer them on your behalf.""You've turned down their invitations several times." "If you make brazen decisions, you should be bold enough to face the consequences." "Stop being so cowardly about introducing your Luna to the wise council." "Get your guts together and meet them." "She's not my luna mother, she's my mate." He yelled."What difference does it make?."" If she's your mate, that makes her your luna." "An omega wolf?." "Come on Simon, I raised you better."" You have better options like Morgana don't you?."" I
There was a loud crackling of fire in the cave, casting ominous shadows on its walls. The flames flared up, crackling and spitting, sending sparks into the already dark cave. A warm light radiated from the flames, illuminating the roughewn stone walls. Huddled up by the fire, I was covered in layers of warm fur blankets. I clutched it tightly like it was about to be yanked off at any moment. My eyelids were heavy. I could see a figure sitting beside the fire covered from head to toe. The figure threw sticks into the fire occasionally. The flames would shoot up again , sending out sparks .I felt warmer now .I had struggled in the water for long , my body had almost frozen. At some point,I suddenly felt warm, I knew it was the end of me . My body was conserving all the warmth it had left, I was going to die . My skin had turned pale with cold . Just when I had given up on being rescued, I felt a huge hand wrap itself around my waist , and scoop me out of the water. That was the last t
