[If you've seen Alpha Lucien around, run.
Your life won't be spared.]The Moonshine pack,"Bring Gorius to me." He orders a guard who bows and walks away in command."Beta, Alpha Lucien wishes to see you." Gorius was slightly older than Alpha Lucien himself. He looks up at the guard and hums whilst the guard waits for him outside his room.He hadn't found his mate, yet.Neither did the Alpha. They were like a cursed pair with similar wavelengths of thoughts; all inclined towards reign and gore.Lucien however, wasn't planning to find a mate either. He blames the system to be weakening, 'to suck the life out of a person' is called love in his dictionary. When Gorius stands in front of his majesty, Lucien stands up from the throne. His brunette hair bounces with every step he takes down the stairs slowly, elegantly like a swan.No one dared to disagree with his actions unless they want to be fed to the hounds below the castle, locked away from human interests."Yes, your majesty?" Gorius lowers his head slightly, even if there wasn't a need because Betas and Alphas are known to be friends than having a king-peasant relationship."When will the ascension begin? The challenge is yet...not accepted." He informs the beta."He is old, and wise, your majesty. If he is taking time to accept the challenge, then it surely means that he is plotting something against you." Gorius says wisely, making the alpha smirk."Very well," his loud voice booms through the court hall, every organism seizing to move, "We shall meet the King of werewolves in LA. My favorite city." He smirks viciously whilst imagining the days of his own. The said city had a lot on the plate for him to take. He didn't care if he had sex with men or women, all were under his interest. He was delectable to the eye as well. If beauty and pride had an incarnation, it would have been the young and wild Alpha Lucien.Killing the King of Werewolves would be easy considering his age, but having to slaughter his entire family to enter into Kingship was difficult. Difficult on his heart than on his mind, even if his genes were altered to think grotesquely.His blood relative, the only one who remains is his younger sister.His sister's name is Jasmine, she was just as sweet as the flower. However, she had an unnatural lust for blood. She often sneaked into the dungeon and kill prisoners, just for fun.Best of the best of doctors could not find a cure for her illness. It wasn't an antisocial act nor it was coming from someone with a personality disorder. Everyone in the pack was concerned about her behavior when one day, everything came to a full stop.She hadn't eaten anything for a week nor did she blink a sleep. The only time she let her emotions sway her was when Lucien finally decided to tell her his part of the story. She felt bad for her brother, a lot had happened to him in comparison with herself.He tapped on her door, she was eleven years old now and recovering. Jasmine softly rubs her eyes and looks up to her elder brother. She smiled at him, lifting her hands up to be carried by him. It was safe to say that they had a soft spot for each other."Jasmine sweetie, big brother is going to challenge the Alpha King. You wanted to watch me fight, right? Will you come and cheer big brother when he wins?" The girl excitedly shook her head.Soon after, Lucien gets inside the car along with the beta and Jasmine. The guards roll by and ascend into the front of the car and back whilst the journey by road begins.The alpha clicks his tongue and smirks, his hand over the headrest whilst Jasmine and Gorius look at him, "The King has no idea, does he? The whole world shall witness the goriest murder in the entire history of humanity. How's that?" The male says, expectantly looking towards Jasmine who rolls her eyes at his exaggerated behavior."Are you trying to pick on me?" She asks, feeling insecure about her recent past."Oh no, no! I would never do that to you out of all, my dear Jasmine. I'm only asking if I'll be strong enough to make history.""I don't know, big brother. But let me sleep now." Plugging in the earphones, Jasmine leans on his shoulder and takes a nap.In a few hours, they reach LA. Alpha Lucien walks out of the car to stretch his body like a cat.Pulling out and lighting up a joint, Lucien wonders with the sky. The beautiful and calming hues of the sky were something Jasmine would have enjoyed but not Lucien. Instead, he was excessively thinking about the ways he would kill the king and what the King himself has on his plate for Lucien after his tragic death.Reaching the arena, he pats Jasmine on her cheek to wake her up."Stay in the car, alright? I'll go win." Saying that Jasmine nods and kisses his cheek as an encouragement while she lays back down in the car seat, only acting."Don't let her out. Don't force her either." Lucien instructs the guards who nod their heads, "If she wants to see me win, let her be." He takes his shirt off, the metal locket around his neck clinking.Jasmine looks at the bare back of her brother walking towards the arena. She is seated aback, but when the huge old male built as a hunk walks from the opposite direction, it makes her feel insecure about her brother winning.On the other hand, The Mighty Alpha Lucien strides toward the King with confidence. He quickly rises to his feet and the fight begins. Many are seen supporting their king, but the play takes a sudden turn when Lucien's eyes begin to glow a certain hue which radiated danger. Even the King himself was scared. It was as if the power of a Phoenix has been entrapped in this young male's body.In one felt swoop, Lucien beheaded the King of Alphas. He had coronated himself as the new King.The King of Werewolves.King Lucien, there was a ring to his name as he stretches his hands and welcomes the cheers of the people.Why were they cheering? Did he not kill their King in front of their eyes? Did the previous King not care for them well which made them sigh from their chests as soon as he died?Eitherway, all he cared about was that title beside his name.King Lucien.And that was how he finds himself wandering about in the woods at night. The dark woods of LA aren't something that is spoken of either, they are resident creatures that should be hidden forever. Sirens and witches lurked in the bushes, calling for blood.The drunken new King wandered to the east aimlessly, he was confident with himself that he should find his way back. Suddenly, he catches up to a few sounds, as if someone was yelling for help.Snarling sounds were heard. Along with his hiccups, he also heard the screams of a woman. She wasn't close by, he thought to himself."Help!" She screams. The male rolls his eyes and shifts into his wolf when he discovers that a human girl was held captive after what seems like a tiresome bike chase. The Harley Davidson is by the side, the engine still running as the woman screamed for help.The vampires, as he guessed, were pulling her up by her limbs to capture her as their slave."Leave her..." he slurs upon his words. Hearing his voice, they all turn to see the male in faltering steps by the tree, only his silhouette visible."Or what?"Lucien chuckles gravely, his shoulder bouncing with delight."You don't want to know that."It was because he was mutated. Without his permission. He was made into a lab rat when he was barely eleven years old.And that...turned him into the monster he had become as of now.The girl, a huntress by profession stares at the dead bodies in awe whilst the crossbow remains untouched by the side of her waist. Her little waist was adhered with a leather belt, a support system for handling all her problems namely the knife, a crossbow and a gun. A few pills in her pocket, too. Killing the vampires was easier than I looked, that's where the girl grew confused about the character she just bumped into. Even if the bumping part was planned, she wasn't explained about what kind of creature she was dealing with.The male licks his lips, smacks his hips with his open fists and looks at the woman staring at him like she witnessed a literal ghost."Are you going to speak or should I assume you're one of them?" He sternly asks the woman, but she steps back from him, appalled by the smell of alcohol from his speech."Um... I do not know if this concerns you but I'm a huntress." He begins chuckling at her."Darling, you gotta be specific about being which huntress—""Vamp
Laura's POVIt felt as though someone dug a hole and spit on my grave. What the hell did I actually hear from the King of werewolves? No no, I must be hallucinating or something.Judging by the neutral expression of the strangely powerful Alpha, I lick my lips and turn to the side where I'd try to analyze where everything went wrong. Curse my life! I shouldn't have taken the deal! Heck, I shouldn't even have been born 21 years ago! Sucking onto my thumb, I happen to take a glance at the alpha who stares at me with an unforgiving expression. It was as though he was staring deep into my soul before he takes a deep breath in and asks with the fork jabbed in the air, of course in my direction, "Are you upset that you're my mate?" The question baffles me. Should I say yes or should I lie?Gulping the lump down my throat, I face him with a geeky smile, "Of course I'm happy about it, your majesty. I'm not overly happy either, just safe-zone happy." I say.Suddenly, he starts laughing and
As I could see the crossbow over my shoulder glide past my head, the split image of the dangerous weapon unleashed upon me like I was destined to take my last breath with that, Lucien was straight ahead of me as he holds the metal and wood arrow in his hand whilst glaring at an unknown entity behind me.The girl in my hold screams and transforms into her wolf which was a hard sight to witness. She looked her age but in a wolf's body, obviously since she was only 11. Lucien however, runs past me at a speed I couldn't fathom and the vampire behind me which I sensed escapes the hold of Lucien, the werewolf King himself.My heart was racing, but the chase was being carried out in the woods as the vampire was trying to lure him into the woods. Oh, I wish Lucien wouldn't go there. The dark woods are literally the hub of vampires and maybe he will find the worst categories there.Also... I don't want him to get hurt...My plan has taken a gradual and discreet shift when I met this little gir
His eyes crinkle as I see him smile widely for the first time. Why does he look so darn attractive? I'm loving the moment, but when I realized harshly that he asked me to indirectly rub myself on his back, nothing has triggered me more than this. I don't realise that I throw the helmet in his direction, he catches it with one hand at the belt as my smile fades away.His cruel eyes were making an infamous comeback as he stares deep into my soul. Embarrassed, I lower my head and look at his shoes that come under my vision."Don't ever do that again. I might be your mate, but I'm also the King. Don't anger me.""Y-yes, your majesty." I quiver."Don't call me that either. I gave you the liberty to call me by my name. Only you're allowed to, also Jasmine." He says as I curtly nod my head as he presents my dear helmet back to me. Why was he angry in the first place when he exhibited perverted behavior towards me? Ugh, I hate this job!Licking my lips, I thought of how easy things were going
As I look into his shining eyes under the moonlight, I come to notice one thing. There's so much depth inside his eyes like a well full of water. Somewhere down below is a little trapped frog that needs to escape the confines of the deep well and live in the outside world. I felt bad for him."Yeah, I'm fine." He utters, using a softer voice. Something inside me wishes for him to use such a soft voice even while speaking to me. His voice held the smoothness and care that I did not understand before. A deep sigh leaves my lips, catching his attention yet again."Would you rather ruin relationships with your siblings or confront them and settle things maturely?" He asks me out of the blue. Leaving me puzzled at the query, I begin to wander my eyes around the room as he guesses right about me. "You don't have a sibling." Stressing upon the word, he tries to provoke me."I don't. But I have quite a lot of friends." "And none of them are going to help you escape from me." He says. Why wa
The question scares me. The exact same amount of fright that was produced in my veins when I felt myself falling for the man. I don't dare look into his eyes while I answer, "I do not know.""Are you being honest?" Was I?I shake my head to his question.His chuckle brightens up the moonlight room whilst I begin to fiddle with my fingers and think of the best way I could handle this stranger danger. It was stranger danger for me, because I barely knew this person.As I look up to his eyes, he speaks something rare which makes my heart jump a beat. Was it love that I read in his eyes?"I- I'm sorry." Quickly gathering myself, I sit up and escape his vision while my back faces his curious gaze. I could not possibly explain to him that I was beginning to fall into the depths of his sea of love. Even if it was as deep as the earth's core and as deadly as a black hole, my mission against him shall disagree with our love story. I did not want to be a betrayer. The title of traitor was enou
Baffling me yet again with his question that seemed so twisted, I shake my head even though I was lying to myself. I flinch deliberately when his hand lifts up to my face and my eyes close to enhance the picture in front of him."Why are you so afraid of me?" He asks, his hand surprisingly still against my face so when I look at it, it was at a position where he wanted to tuck the lose strand of hair behind my ear. Shoot. I really ruined his morning."I- I'm not afraid of you—" "Stop lying." Suddenly, he pulls me into a hug that tells me, "I'm not a monster. Please believe me." I couldn't let myself understand him, going into his shoes and trying to understand from his perspective. Everyone in this world who knows about the man considers him as a killing machine, or an entity who captured the Throne and rose above to become a menace as a King, abuse the throne and enjoy it's power.But deep down, all I have ever seen in these few hours with him is the child that has been trapped lik
I was lying. I was afraid to fall for Lucien and betray him in a literal sense. I don't want to be the one to break his heart over everyone else, leave alone hurt him in the worst way possible by rejecting him. This could turn out to be much worse.As he parts from me after stealing the kiss and whispering the words, I look at his gleaming brown orbs and find the destiny of ours written in them. It wasn't a happy one. Rather, it was to be filled with hatred and wars upon each other.Clueless that Jasmine was still witnessing our PDA, I kiss his cheek quickly and leave the room, thankfully he wasn't following me when I began running towards the room and see the clouds to clear my mind. To clear my mind from everything that's happening and also to...Should I terminate this mission? It shall be great if someone else took up my job, but according to what I've seen of Lucien, he will shred anyone into pieces if they least trespass against his land. The borders as so protected like an ent
