KILLIAN

It was still hard to believe that she was stabbed with an ancient silver sword. I couldn't bring myself to believe it but when the swinging silver sword flashed before my eyes, I realized that was true.

Valerie was truly stabbed with an ancient silver blade.

"There is nothing I can do. You should know that I do not have the power to resurrect a dying person," she said and anger flashed across my eyes

She quickly muttered an apology, though, that glint of mockery was still in her eyes.

"There is no possible cure, no matter how hard it will be to get it?" The doctor asked and Michelle shook her head.

"There is a saying that every problem has a solution…" she paused and sighed, hiding the happiness that bubbled in her.

"But this problem has no solution," she concluded and my heart constricted in indignation and agony.

I sprinted towards the bed and leaned on it, staring at her face which was almost like that of a ghost.

"Hey, wake up," I muttered, holding her freezing hand.

  • Lycan Brothers Want Me   Finding the cure

    LUCIAN Silence reigned in the car as Killian drove roughly through the highway. Though we were silent, we all had one thing in mind, and that was to find the cure and save Valerie. I hated myself at some point for blaming her without a proper investigation. I had tried severally to convince myself that she was capable of doing it but couldn't. Every time I imagined what could have taken place on that hill, the scene of Michelle pushing Valerie down was what always appeared in my mind. It didn't make sense to me as she had been the one hating and getting jealous. I was sure Michelle wouldn't hurt her after defending her against me. "Everything doesn't seem to make sense," I spoke up, breaking the hostile silence floating around us. Killian remained silent, too furious to respond. I sighed loudly and looked out of the window, letting the silence endure longer. "Are you going to keep driving without telling me where we are heading!" I snapped, getting infuriated by his

    KILLIAN I exchanged glances with Lucian and nodded my head in approval. I took a step closer to him and he staggered back, his eyes as wide as saucers. "Will you give us the antidote?" I asked and he tilted his head to the side, analyzing our expression. "Did anyone get stabbed with the sword?" He asked and my chest tightened in anger.Lucian growled and flipped the blade in his direction.His eyes widened and he screamed in horror, paralyzed to the wall and unable to move.The blade sank into the wall, its edges kissing his face.His chest rose in fear and relief as he cautiously moved away from that spot."That is the way we will sink the blade into your eyes if you don't tell us where the antidote is…" Lucian paused and began to take steps towards him again. He cringed and covered his face with his palms. "Please, don't hurt me, please. I will give you whatever you want. Anything!" he cried, shaking violently in fear. "Where is it?" I asked and he gulped hard, slowly relaxin

  • Lycan Brothers Want Me   The antidote

    LUCIAN "Lucian, we've messed up," Killian muttered and my throat knotted.He was right. We let the dishonest fool deceive us again using his foolishness."You underestimated me, my lords," he, laughed mockingly, and I looked at him.My gaze shifted to the black bottle in his hand which looked exactly like the one we were holding.I didn't need anyone to tell me that he gave us the wrong antidote."You gave us a fake antidote, didn't you?" Killian asked.He threw his head back and looked at the bottle in his hand and then at the one we were holding. "I wonder why you are so desperate to get the antidote…" he tilted his head back and pursed his lips. "Did someone you care about get stabbed?" Killian growled and advanced towards him but I held him back, glaring murderously at Herod. "I've never seen you care for anyone before. She must be special," he grinned. "Give us the antidote now we're being merciful," I snapped and he scoffed, waving it in the air. "Let me kill him, Lucian!

  • Lycan Brothers Want Me   No mercy in the dictionary

    LUCIAN I snapped my arms out of their grip and leaped for the bottle, sliding across the floor. I stretched out my hand and it fell into my palm instead of on the ground. A deafening silence followed and a horrified gasp slipped from Herod's parched lips. Killian grabbed his collar before he could think of escaping and punched him hard in the face. He staggered back, almost falling over the railing. I growled and my fangs sprouted out. My bones began to break as a mild transformation of my body began to take place. My muscles rippled and grew larger and my eyes darkened. The thirst for blood surged through my body, and anger filled my heart. The soldiers backed away on seeing me and began to run towards the door to save themselves from my wrath. But before they could get to the door, it slammed shut, leaving them trapped in the hall with me. Two of them who couldn't handle the fear of dying collapsed and lost consciousness while the one who seemed brave pointed their guns at m

    DAMION I smiled sinisterly as I watched Michelle struggle to remain conscious as she shared her energy with Valerie. I pushed the door open and walked in, my head tilted to the side."Your beloved Lycan kings made you sacrifice your energy for the woman they cast away," I muttered and she glared at me before slamming he eyes shut to continue the transfer of energy."I wonder why they are not back yet," I sighed and she scoffed, ignoring me.I looked at her again and smirked before glancing at Valerie.I reached out and touched her burning forehead. Worry began to slip in but I brushed it back, assuring myself that she would be fine."I wonder if they will return alive," I muttered and Michelle's eyes flew open again.She let go of Valerie's hand and sprang up, glaring at me."What did you do, Damion?" She groused and I dimmed my eyes."What have I done? Nothing!" I shrugged, grinning widely.She grabbed my collar and pushed me to the wall, fuming in fury as her burning eyes burned i

    KILLIAN Lucian played with the lighter as he stared out of the window, watching the trainees on the field. The door opened and Neil walked in, a bright smile on his face. "Welcome back, Alpha," he muttered, bowing lowly to the ground. Lucian slipped out a pack of cigarettes and pulled out a stick, lightening it as he walked towards Neil. "Herod sends boys to our military camp every year, right?" Lucian asked and Neil nodded his head in agreement. "I want you to bring out everyone from Herod, starting from the soldiers to the trainees. I want everyone out," Lucian said and Neil's smile slowly faded away. He darted his eyes from Lucian's cold face to mine, perhaps wondering what was going on. "Alpha, did something happen?" He asked and I scoffed. "I wonder if you're trustworthy, Neil," I muttered and his brows shot up in surprise. "Alpha! I can never betray you two!" He exclaimed. Lucian picked up the blade on the table and Neil shifted back, shock etched against his face. L

    KILLIAN We stood side by side, watching the large dark horn emerge slowly from the dark pool. So, this was it. This was the mystery hidden in the pool. Excitement slowly replaced the shock in me, and I tilted my head forward, waiting for it to showcase its body. The shrill ringing of Lucian forced me to snap back to reality, and the horn stopped moving upward. As fast as lightning, it sank into the dark pool, and the water became still again like nothing was inside. "What the heck!" Lucian snapped, growling loudly as he pulled out his phone from his pocket. He stared at the screen and hissed loudly before swiping the answer button and placing it to his ear. "What do you want, Neil?" He asked, filled with anger and disappointment. He sighed and ruffled his hair, nodding with his eyes fixed on the pool for any movement. "We will be out soon," he said and ended the call, dropping the phone into his pocket. I raised my brows in question, tilting my head to the side."We have to

  • Lycan Brothers Want Me   Do you feel alive?

    VALERIE I released a low groan as my throat burned in pain. My dad, who was smiling down at me and muttering comforting words to me, slowly dissolved away, disappearing like vapor. My jaws dropped and I stretched out my hand, calling desperately for him. It was like he had just died before me after coming back for the second time. As I called out to him, I heard my name from afar but refused to answer it. I tried to move from where I was, but I discovered that I couldn't no matter how hard I tried. It felt like I was stuck in the spot. I sensed a hand shaking my shoulders and a sharp ray of light pierced my eyes. I groaned again, but this time, I found myself in a different room with Michelle frowning down at me. I narrowed my eyes and mourned at the sharp banging in my head. "Do you feel alive?" She asked in a hostile voice. I scoffed and glared hatefully at her. "I guess you want to hear the opposite," I snarled, and she scoffed. She shifted away from the bed and picked

    VALERIE I swiftly turned around, my eyes widening in horror. Jasmine stood by the door, her hands on the wall as she stared at our faces in confusion. "What secret are you two talking about?" Jasmine asked as she walked fully into the room I darted my eyes from Victoria to Jasmine, thinking of a lie I could tell to cover up my secret. Jasmine should be the last person to find out about what I had told Victoria. "Valerie is thinking of going to the Isle of the Blessed tonight," Victoria spoke up and my eyes widened. That wasn't what I planned to say to Jasmine at all, but I didn't know what to say to her either. Jasmine's jaws dropped and she huffed loudly, disbelief flashing across her eyes. "You promised you wouldn't go there!" Jasmine snapped, making my heart skip a beat. "I didn't promise, Jasmine," I replied in a calm voice. She scoffed loudly and shook her head, tears gathering up in her eyes. Did she feel betrayed by me? "There must be an important reason for her to g

    VALERIE There was no lie about it. I would leave the Pack the moment the Lycan prince steps out of his chambers. What was worse and terrified me the most was the judgment he might pass on me. Perhaps, death? I slipped down to the ground and dropped my head into my wet palm, thinking of ways to escape death and also get into the Isle of the Blessed. The only idea that crept into my mind was to run off before he caught me. I bit my lips, knowing that would be the only choice even though it was a dumb idea. What would happen to the girl and Jasmine? Renee would use my disappearance as an opportunity to kill the girl and have Jasmine take the fall. A step out of the Pack will lead to uncertainty of finding the Isle of the Blessed. I scrambled to my feet and began to sneak out of the hallway, still pondering the thought of running away. I had to make up my mind as soon as possible if I wanted to survive. I made for my room, my feet shaking violently as Zelda's words echoed in my hea

    VALERIE My heart froze the moment the words left her mouth. I couldn't believe that the devil was asking me to commit a fucking murder! "Wait, what?!" I gasped out, breathing heavily. She tilted her head to the side and narrowed her eyes, a deep frown on her face. "Why? You can't do it?" She snickered, disdain laced in her voice. Anger welled up in me and my fist clenched. I felt like bashing her head on the rough wall behind her. "Not everyone is as vicious as you are!" I snapped, shaking my fist at her, my teeth clattering against each other in fury. She smiled unapologetically and folded her hands under her large breasts, leaning back. "Oh… does that mean you won't do it?" She asked. I leaned closer, hitting her face with my fiery breath. "I'm not a murderer like you!" I spat. Disappointment flooded her face but she quickly covered it up with a smirk. "Alright then… you won't be able to sniff the air of the Isle," she whispered. I chuckled and got up, straightening my

    VALERIE She seemed to be in even greater shock than I was. Perhaps, she never expected to find her greatest enemy in front of her door, wearing an Innocent look on her face. She shot up her head and shifted back, a sneer replacing the shock on her face. "What are you doing here?" She groused, waving her fingers at me. I threw my head back, not surprised at her reaction to my sudden appearance. "I came to talk to you," I said, sounding as calm as possible. She turned up her lips in disdain, scoffing loudly before narrowing her eyes. "If you're here to convince me to take the blame then I won't do it. Let's see how far this investigation will go," she muttered, grinning sinisterly.My eyes dimmed in suspicion at her words. I could tell she was up to something to protect herself. I knew she wouldn't go down so easily, but I had to find out about the Isle of the Blessed before digging out whatever evil plot she was crafting. "I'm not here to talk about that," I said.

    VALERIE "What did the Lycan prince talk about with you?" Jasmine asked as she watched a maidservant braid her hair from the mirror before her. "He was upset that I barged in. That was all," I muttered. She dropped the hairpin she was admiring and craned her neck backward, her eyes prying into mine. My heart thumped loudly as I tried to imagine what would come out of her lips. You are lying? Are you trying to take my mate away? I don't believe you. "Thank you for helping me, Valerie. I wonder if I will ever find a kind like you," she muttered in the sweetest voice ever, making my brows raise in shock. Happiness flooded my body, and I blushed hard at her unexpected compliment. "That is so sweet of you," I muttered and she chuckled, shaking her head. "That was so brave of you," she said, lifting the anxiety pressing down on my heart. She turned and faced the mirror again, watching the maid's hands in silence. She was under house arrest and so was Renee."I will go and check on

    VALERIE We walked silently along the path, taking in the fragrance that hung in the air around the garden. Somehow, it felt like I was with Damion. That feeling was still there, that warm smile and eyes filled with longing, the only difference was that the longing in her eyes was not for me.She made me feel comfortable, just the same way Damion made me feel comfortable. I wondered why a beautiful soul like her didn't get the chance to live a longer life. What could have killed her? Sickness?My throat knotted at that thought and I heard my heart make a slight cracking sound as it tightened.I pushed the thought off and concentrated on her being alive. "I love your courage. Standing up against my father is something no one has ever done," she said, pulling her lacy sleeve down even though it didn't need the effort. "I was never born with the gift to rebel against everyone. I got it as I grew up in the darkest time of my life," I replied. She smiled lightly and tilted her head, p

    VALERIE A smile crept into my face when the staff hit the ground. I spun around and smiled at Renee, my head bent to the side. Her lips twitched up in anger and she clenched her fist in fury. The council of elders stood up to their feet and bowed low to the ground, in respect to the Lycan king's decision."Until the victim wakes up, the both of you will remain the suspects. None of you are allowed to go close to the girl or anything related to her," the lycan prince warned Jasmine and Renee while his eyes were fixed on me. Renee's lips trembled, and drops of sweat appeared on her wrinkled forehead. I grinned and walked towards Jasmine then gripped her cold wrist and began to lead her out. I paused when I got to where Renee was rooted to. "If you are not guilty then you shouldn't be afraid," I whispered. She snapped her head up and gnashed her teeth, glaring murderously at me. I waved her glare aside and began to leave the hall with Jasmine."You!" The Lycan prince's voice ra

    VALERIE The silence that fell in the room made my heart race in fear. I dared not look in the direction of the Lycan king to avoid falling to the ground and losing my hard-earned confidence. I could feel his cold, striking grey eyes on me, his red, slightly cracked lips pursed out in anger at my intrusion."Who are you?" His cold voice pierced the air, causing goosebumps to appear on my skin. I gulped hard before raising my head to meet the eyes that ate me up. His beards were as white as snow with no fickle of a different color and his face glowed in the room, giving off ethereal vibes.In his right hand was a staff that I thought I had seen somewhere in the future."Who are you?" He growled again, pulling me out of the reverie that I was in."I…" my lips trembled, the words refusing to leave my mouth. "She…" I stammered, darting my eyes towards Jasmine. Disappointment flooded her eyes and she heaved loudly, staring at me in bemusement.My heart constricted as I realized that I

    VALERIE "You should avoid infuriating the Alpha prince," Victoria muttered. We were sitting on a low, wooden bridge, teasing the crystal water with our toes. "Why? I'm not causing any trouble," I muttered, staring keenly at the ripples in the water. "Really? You're already known as trouble just in the first few hours of your arrival. Doesn't that show that you were born to be troublesome?" She muttered. I bit my lips, unable to utter a word of defense. She was right. I'm always known for trouble in the present and here in the past. It wasn't my fault that I tend to fall into trouble and get in the bad books of people after meeting for the first time. I only fought for what I knew was right, and sometimes, the trouble was just brought by my haters, and that included Jasmine. If I had been as rebellious to my stepfather as I was to the Lycan kings, he wouldn't have dared to sell me "My life wasn't like this, it was filled with peace and silent agony.
