Lycan School: The Hekate's Bride Chapter 7: Trance
Master Kaelan has a couple of Star Students demonstrate what we ought to have learned by the end of this session before the hall. Picking weapons begin in the second year. By then, I'll be gone from here. It doesn't stop me from watching in pure fascination as Darian and Raven go at each other, swiping and slashing. They move like the wind and I have never seen anything like it in my entire life. Raven dodges Darian's powerful blow with such ease that it seems like she is dancing. Darian follows up with barrages of kicks and blows that are easily deflected-- from what I can see, because their movements are too fast fast to follow and it's like watching a blur of motion. They seem to move in perfect synchronization, each move countering the other in a never-ending dance. Their feet barely touch the ground as they glide around each other, exchanging blows that seem to come from nowhere. Not even the best sentinels in Wolvendom move like that. They don't eve
Lycan School: The Hekate's Bride Chapter 8: Tizzy
A body was found in school this morning.Mangled. Mishapen. Broken beyond recognition. But somehow, someone had placed a face to the body.Alaric Grimshaw. A first year student, and Rune's distant cousin.I didn't see the body when it was brought in, but a couple of students did and it's all they have been talking about since. They seem pretty shaken up. There is fear in their eyes as well.The schools are fortified and happen to be safest places in all realms, guarded by the Goddess's magic herself.How could this happen?Some say Alaric was seen in the cameras trying to escape the premises and he fell in the void beyond. Some say the darkness took him. Some say there was a man covered in the darkness. Regardless of what truth it is, none of them are great.The school has been in a tizzy since the body was brought in and unorthodox communications have been made to the realms beyond, reaching out to the King and Queen of the Realm of Lycans.Everyone's in a fix and agitated, and Run
Lycan School: The Hekate's Bride Chapter 9: Rot
"Just a couple of bruises. She's already healing. It might take a while since she's a wolf but she should be fine by tomorrow," the nurse says to Darian.She's nice, which is plenty weird for her race. She shifts her glasses up on the bridge of her nose and squints down at the bruise on my neck. "Does this hurt?" She asks and I wince when she prods the column of my throat."Yeah," I whisper. My throat still feels sore. Her warm brown eyes flick swiftly over my form and she pulls a note out of her white coat, turning away from me as she scribbles something on it. Darian shoots me an apologetic look, and I avoid his gaze, looking out the window instead. He is leaning lazily against the wall, watching my every move. He has been doing that for the past hour, scanning me as the nurse treated me, offering me water and speaking softly like...like I'm something to him.I'm not sure how lycans woo their women, but that isn't how it is done in Wolvendom.Admittedly, Darian is the hottest guy
Lycan School: The Hekate's Bride Chapter 10: Playing With Fire
Three years ago:I clocked eighteen today. Everyone's dancing. I am too, and Goddess knows I have never been this drunk in my life."Astrid, careful," Thorne says, hands circling my waist when I keel over, nearly falling into my huge birthday cake.I giggle, though nothing is particularly funny. I lean into him and lick his neck that is slick with sweat from dancing so hard. He groans and I giggle at the sound of it."I'll take you to your room," Thorne mutters, grip around me tightening."Don't wanna..." My voice trails off into an unintelligible slur and I inch out of his arms when I see another untouched glass of alcohol in the hands of a passing woman. "Give that here," I tell her.Thorne swivels, muttering an apology to the woman and he throws me over his shoulder, taking the stairwell that leads to my room.It is safe to do so. Father and mother have retired to their chambers and the people left in the hall are too drunk to notice Thorne Nightshade kidnapping their princess.I
Lycan School: The Hekate's Bride Chapter 11: Barf
The meeting with both our parents ends up making me feel sick. The Hekate has found a way to get his men through the veil, and the rot has begun. Rather than attack the people first like we anticipated, he comes for the schools. He should not even know the school's exist. They are hidden deeply, and the only way to get into them is through the portals, two of which exists in my realm and the other in the realm of lycans. The gates that lead to these portals are heavily guarded, not even leaving out the fact that the portals can only be opened by the Grand Mistress. It's impossible for the dark army to have gotten past the gates and through the portal. And the most aggravating question of them all. Why the schools? I blow out a breath, threading my fingers in my hair as the harsh smell of bland shampoo fills my nostrils. I really miss home. I had spoken to my father and mother alone after the meeting and it had gone nowhere. I can st
Lycan School: The Hekate's Bride Chapter 12: Exhausted
"Come on," Darian says, ushering me to the front of the 'special food' counter. I bite my lip nervously, expecting the lunch lady to haul me off the line again, but her sight is set on Darian who she smiles prettily at. "Two plates. The usual," Darian says with a stunning smile that has her fanning herself with the spatula. Ugh. It feels good to have this again. Privilege over others, however temporary it is. My stomach growls at the smell of roast chicken and stew. I stare at the tray handed to me and joy has my eyes stinging. I never thought I'd taste chicken again. The Cafeteria is especially noisy tonight. It's deafening. The chatter and laughter mix together to create a wall of sound that makes it difficult to think. It is packed with students who are gathered around, laughing and chatting with each other. Some of them are taking selfies while others are sharing their food with their friends. I feel my face heat up as we walk past. I can feel ey
Lycan School: The Hekate's Bride Chapter 13: Take Your Stance
There is something in my room.It reeks of rot and death. The usually clear air is thick and murky, like a swamp I’m trying to wade through. Its aura is pressing down on me from all sides and drawing in a single breath is a struggle.“Princess. . .” It drawls, and I am frozen in place, trapped in a nightmare that refuses to let me go. My heart sprints as a shadowy figure that is darkness incarnate draws closer to me, sucking in all light and life into its impenetrable void.Evil in its purest and realest form.I want to run, to flee from this creature that should not exist, but my limbs won’t obey me. I can’t shift.. My muscles are tense and rigid, as if they have been held captive by an invisible force.Fear has me captive in its cold grip, and it suffocates me.“You are a long way from home, Princess Astrid. . .” It says, and my blood curdles when I feel its cold breath on my neck. A whimper escaped me when sharp canines brush my neck and a tongue darts out to taste me. Cold sweat b
Lycan School: The Hekate's Bride Chapter 14: Lost
Did I get beat up?Hell yeah.She moves too fast for me to follow, it is like trying to catch the wind. Or maybe run faster than my shadow. With every hit she lands on me, the crowd cheers louder and louder, and the bet points rise higher and higher.I barely dodge a punch when another lands in my belly. I don’t feel pain. I become one with pain.She doesn’t stop hitting me, expecting me to yield to her. I can’t have her beat me to a pulp and still beg for mercy. Double jeopardy. Goddess forbid it. All I think of as she hits me is how to pay her back in kind.When I am curled up against the wall with my hands shielding my face from her, a voice cuts through the shouts of excitement. “Enough!”I crack an eye open and see Rune cutting through the crowd. I have never been happier to see him.“What is this?” He asks and Ginevra turns away from me to face him, giving me enough space to breathe. My ribs ache. Goddess. This really isn’t my week.“She challenged me to a duel—““You could have
