The courtyard outside the cave was alive with color and motion. The ceremonial robes of the crowd shone in crimson, gold, and forest green, embroidered with intricate symbols that seemed to shimmer as the dancers moved.

I was amazed, to say the least.

The dancers twisted and twirled to the rhythm of drums, flutes, and the occasional deep horn, their movements celebratory yet reverent, echoing against the stone walls like an ancient ritual come alive.

Incense curled through the air, earthy smoke intertwining with the faint metallic scent of the cave and torches, and even from a distance I could taste the tension and reverence on my tongue.

Was this what I had missed out on, all those years? I wondered, watching to my full, the beautiful sight before me.

You couldn't come to the cave if you weren't up to the wolf testing age. And even then, you were huddled to the inner part of the cave, through another passageway…

  • Nemesis Of The Lycan Triplets   Tango II

    Adam stood rigid, jaw taut, balled fists by his sides, his eyes unreadable as they stared at his brother. His expression was a storm barely contained, almost thunderous—he was trying, and failing, to look calm, unbothered, civil. I thought it was funny, then strange. Why would he look like that? It's not like Noah and I were copulating on the dance floor; we were just dancing.My eyes found the woman he had been dancing with; she was frowning in confusion, and for a second I thought, playfully, that she might have had a crush on him. Meanwhile, the crowd was beginning to notice the standoff, their feet shifting uneasily, probably because it was bad luck for public disagreements to erupt during the auspicious feast meant to celebrate the goddess. I noticed too that the music faltered, the musicians hesitant, seeing as Noah and I had stopped dancing with Adam's intrusion.Even the Lycan King was watching, saying nothing, revealing nothing. He really must want me for Adam, I mused, unm

    Eating. Talking. Meeting people. Slow dancing to the music the orchestra was playing.All around us the celebration burned brightly, the palace hall a whirl of gowns and silks, laughter spilling like wine, the scent of roasted venison mingling with the sweetness of candied fruits. Crystal glasses chimed. Men and women clung to one another as though the world itself existed only in their dance.But Diana and I? We weren't doing any of this.We sat in the section reserved for the council, rather brainstorming—nothing mattered more than the mystery of what had truly happened to me that fateful night, almost a year ago. The night of my supposed death. The night I should have been gone. The memory clung to me like smoke, always just behind my ribs.Diana's eyes glittered, reflecting the golden chandeliers above us. She leaned closer, her tone sharp though quiet. "Do you think they were controlled? Like pawns in a game? But who would do it? What vendetta would the person have against you?"

  • Nemesis Of The Lycan Triplets   Celebration IV

    This was my last night at the pack, and the night where all festivities reached their highest height. The splendor was unlike anything from the days before. We were in the largest pack hall, located in the eastern wing of the king's palace, and it was a masterpiece of overwhelming taste.Was this necessary to celebrate the goddess too? I wondered, looking around the hall for the umpteenth time.The hall was too much in every possible way—tastefully furnished, yes, but perhaps excessively so. Long chandeliers hung from the arched ceiling, dripping with hundreds of crystals that refracted the golden glow of enchanted lanterns. Each wall was adorned with heavy drapes of deep crimson velvet embroidered with threads of silver that caught the light whenever anyone walked past. On the far end, just behind the high platform reserved for the royal family, a mural of the moon goddess dominated the entire wall—her hands spread in blessing, silver paint catching the flicker of flame from doze

    I slipped the dark robe over my shoulders, fingers trembling slightly as I fastened the clasp at my throat. The fabric was heavier than I expected, woven with threads of silver that caught the light of the torches flickering in the chamber. I'm yet to understand the palace's love for ancient torches, or was it part of the celebrations?The cloak, meanwhile, which had been given to me by Adam—courtesy of his father, felt ceremonial, weightier than anything I had worn before—as though it wasn't just cloth but expectation resting against my skin.Today was the day. Or night…The day I would cast a protective spell strong enough to shield an entire pack, one of the most feared in all the realms. The weight of it pressed on me harder than the robe, harder than I expected.Why fret? I had El on my side, and she hadn't declared that it couldn't be done. Yet, my heart thrummed with nerves, my magic stirring uneasily beneath my ribs like a caged bird.I stared at my reflection in the polished

    The ceremony had ended, the echoes of drums and chants fading into the twilight. Outside the cave, the surroundings smelled of smoke and earth, of candles burnt low and prayers whispered into the cooling air. I watched, strangely satiated by the whole celebration, as people moved in groups toward their homes, each carrying plastic bags of gifts—courtesy of the King.Then I noticed my first foster mother watching me. She was waiting for her husband—I believed, but while waiting, she was watching me.Diana squeezed my hand. Of course she had noticed. We waved at the same time, small smiles on our lips. She was startled at our recognizing her presence—she even looked behind her, to know if she was the one we're actually greeting—but she waved at us in return, a contemplative smile on her lips."Do you want to go to her?" A whisper veiled in magic."I think so."We stepped forward, my eyes staying on her figure seated by the carved stone fountain—a woman, hair streaked with silver, fac
