*LILAC*

It's today.

School day. The day I will be attending a school with hundreds of Lycans as colleagues. How interesting... Ironically.

"Hey, cheer up sis.. It's gonna be fun!" Issy coos from beside me as the Audi hit the road, heading towards our destination. "You'll meet so many new people, you might even make some friends!" She adds, smiling brightly.

I only wish her excitement is contagious. No, it is not. If anything, I'm nervous.

After all, it's been a long time since I last attended my own school. Even longer since I've had friends at all. I sigh, trying not to think again of the fact that I left the palace this morning without even seeing Kael. I raise my fingers to my face, looking at the ring there. How would the students even take it that I'm married to their Prince? I look out through the window.

My jaw falls to the ground as we pass a low stone wall with the name Lupin College in white letters painted on it, with an ornate bronze wolf statue etched on a gate that opens up into a larger compound with some shrubbery surrounding it. I have to hold back from shouting something in surprise. There’s so much detail about this place. The architecture is all so elegant and modern looking... So unlike Lyria.

Issy continues driving until we arrive at another gate. This one is larger and seems to lead to what looks like a main entrance hall where several cars wait outside. We drive inside, before coming to stop at a pair of large oak doors. Issy turns to me before opening the door for us.

“Come on sis, you can do this! You’re going to have loads of friends and learn lots about our culture here! It won’t be that bad!” she reassures me, giving me a small smile.

“Yeah, yeah… I know…” I mutter, taking a deep breath as I grab my backpack. As I open the car door and get out, I take a moment to survey my surroundings. A giant clock stands in front of us, its bell hanging above our heads. Two massive columns support the roof of the building and they curve upward like wings. On either side of the entryway is a series of double doors with arched windows on both sides. In front of these doors are two marble staircases leading up, curving along the walls. The ceiling itself is made of stained glass, the colors shifting in different patterns and designs. I feel myself getting swept away by the beauty of it all. "Come let's get you to the Dean first" Issy says before putting an arm around my shoulders, ushering me towards the stairs.

I follow obediently behind Issy as we head towards the large doors at the end of the hallway, which were already opened wide enough to allow a single person to enter. We both enter the room where a young woman with red hair is standing.

The woman smiles warmly at us and beckons us over to where she stands at the far corner, near the fireplace. "Hello girls! I am Professor Rana. It's great to finally put a face to your name." She says to me, extending her hand toward me. I shake her hand briefly.

"So you are a special student. It will probably take a while for you to get used to how things are done here, but you will definitely catch up." I don't have to think twice before I know what she means by a special student. The almost hidden glint in her eyes says it all; I am an human amidst Lycans.

"Also, His Majesty has insisted That no one in the school know of your relation with the Royal house," she says making me raise my brow questioningly. I am about to talk but Issy beats me to it, "Why?"

"For her safety, you should know that Princess Isabelle"

Issy snorts, rolling her eyes "The name's Issy, Professor"

"Moving on-" Professor Rane continues, totally ignoring Issy, she picks up a tablet and starts to scroll through it. "You have been entered into the system here. I’m just arranging your school schedule. What do you want to be your major?”

My major? I glance at Issy but she is not even looking at me. I am staring back at Professor Rayne, still unsure of what to say. "What.. What are the options?"

She hands me the tablet and I start to scroll.

Lykae Education

Lykae Surgeon

Lykae Therapy

Lykae Administration

A lot of Lykae(s). I hand it back to her. "Do I have to choose?"

She frowns and then covers it up with a smile as quickly as she can, "You can attend all the minor classes and come back to register your major in three weeks, how is that?"

I smile genuinely at her, "That would be great thank you". She finally drops the tablet on her desk and gives me another tablet she had just picked from inside her drawer.

"In here are your schedules and the school map and other minor materials you will be needing. According to your schedule, your first class is Lykae history, Isabelle will lead you to your class."

"It's Issy! Professor Rane" Issy retorts through gritted teeth. I don't think she likes the professor.

It is normal, just like the colleges at Lyria. What was I even expecting? Wolves purring around the class? I guess not. The lecture hall named Fenrir hall is quite large and has very nice wooden furniture. I find a seat by a window, the view of the mountains being magnificent.

I pull out my phone and turn on some music. Music and books help calm me down. I close my eyes and let the gentle sound of classical music wash over me. After a few moments, someone sits next to me. I open my eyes to find a young girl, looking at me. "Hi" I say quietly, feeling shy, despite her appearance.

"Hi!" she replies brightly, "You're the human girl right?"

"Yea..." I reply cautiously. "How do you know that?"

"I'm Kira. Everyone's talking about you, we've never had a human attend school in Lycania before, and I wanted to introduce myself. Do you mind if we sit together?"

I nod mutely.

"Okay" she responds with a smile before reaching inside her bag to pull out her tablet. "You haven't told me your name yet though." she raises her brow at me expectantly.

"Lilac. My name is Lilac," I reply.

"Ah... Lilac, I wonder what a human like you is doing in Lycania." The new voice is stiff, unwelcoming. I look up to see a girl standing before me. She is blonde, taller than me but shorter than Kira. I notice she has cat ears on top of her head. She wears a dress similar to Kira's, except hers is dark brown instead of black. Instead of a necklace, she wears a small silver pendant. It appears she is also wearing makeup. Two girls are standing behind her, who look like twins, each dressed similarly to the girl in front of me. They are watching me intently, seemingly annoyed.

I clear my throat, trying to ease the patchness I am suddenly feeling. This scene looks all too familiar . And not in a good way.

"Um.. I'm here, that's what matters right?" The girl — the leaders laughs at my response, her eyelashes batting with disdain.

"You are not welcome here, human. You better know that!" she yells loudly, before glaring menacingly at me. The leader then points a finger at me, shaking her head "Go back to wherever you came from, or you will fucking regret it!"

Right, very familiar indeed. This is a typical scene from the popular cheerleader brat and the nerdy girl. Only she is wrong. When I was in Lyria, I was in the shadows, but here I am a part of the royal family even if they do not know. I finger my ring and then I stand abruptly and in a low voice, I tell her ; "I'll like to see you try to make me regret it!"

"Bitch!" She growls and my eyes widens as I see fur start to petter over her arms. Drat! I forgot she is a Lycan and we should never annoy them. My legs are shaking but I hold my stance and then she lunges for me. I close my eyes, expecting the hit but it doesn't come, instead I am pulled away by a firm grip on the collar of my shirt and then I am flushed flat against a hard chest.

"What the hell is happening here?" The voice is familiar and even his scent. No it's not him.

"Professor," I hear Kira say. I peak my eyes open and my jaw drops, because it is him—my husband, holding me to his chest, and Kira just called him, 'Professor'.

  • Saving Her Lycan   Chapter 63: Epilogue? From Kael's POV

    *KAEL* I have no idea how I manage to drive all the way down to my suite. My need for Lilac is like the moon reaching for the sun's light. My ache for her is like an itching on my skin that needs to be expelled. My lips are on hers the moment we step inside. She gasps at my sudden intrusion but I care less as I deepen the kiss, my hands reaching for her neck as I back her against the sofa. I kiss her like it is the last thing I am going do and she meets with that same frenzied innuendo. We are drinking each other in like starved wolves, every each of our skin fraught with sensations. I reach for her dress zipper, but stop myself to look at her, silently pleading for access. Lilac reaches for my belt , and that is all I need as I pull her zipper down and her dress falls to the ground. I ift her up, my lips meeting her again as I lead us both into the room and onto the bed. My clothes are off too and I feel her shiver as I press against her. "It's your first time, isn't

  • Saving Her Lycan   Chapter 62: This Is Not The End.

    *LILAC* I thought I died. If that dagger could have killed a Lycan in an instant, how much less a mere human like me. But then I woke up, two weeks after, in an hospital bed. It took a while before I could process what was happening, heck I could not even understand. Carla said the works of the fates were beyond our reasonings. Carla had stood at the door entrance of the room, watching as I came to life. Her first sentence to me was; "You did good, Lilac." Maybe I was dreaming, maybe all these was a little game before I finally stepped into oblivion, but then he had walked in his eyes redrimmed with dried tears black hair falling disheveled against his face. He had sprinted towards me, and he had cupped my cheeks with scarred palms and he wept on me. "I love you, Princess," he had whispered repeatedly. He was real. Everything was real. I lived. A week after, I had attended the trial of Talon and his wife, they were both stripped bare of their m

  • Saving Her Lycan   Chapter 61: The Last Dance of a Princess

    *KAEL* I have always thought it weird that I found myself more comfortable with Isabelle than I ever was with Talon, even way before I knew how cunning and cruel he was, but now I know, it is because there was never any need for us to fraternize because we are not even related by a single pint of blood. The crowd breaks into a frenzy, everyone trying to run for their life. My Father sits with shock as if he cannot comprehend that he has been fathering another man's son for years. Talon, in his changed form lunges towards me or rather my wife, and I do not hesitate but jump between them . It is like I am an invisible wall protecting the woman I love from any harm that may come from my beloved brother. Sarcasm intended. I feel his claws dig through the fabric of my shirt as if they could go straight through my flesh and rip the heart right out of my chest. "You've always liked to stick your nose where it does not belong, brother," he snarls. "Is this why you

  • Saving Her Lycan   Chapter 60: The Last Ball

    *LILAC* Two weeks of immense training on how to use the arrow. Two weeks of attending Lupin without Isabelle. Two weeks of finding out that Beryl Caulder isn't as bad as I thought... And two weeks of Carla trying to teach Kael king duties. King duties. It feels surreal that he is even thinking of taking the throne from his Father. I know it has something to do with the Klux that Beryl, Romwn and I have still not gotten his identity. Kael knows something, but he is not telling us. I do not bother him because I know that eventually everything will come into light. The Klux has not attacked since that night. Raul, Emery and Perez has been buried and Isabelle has not left the palace since the royal guards came to take her away from Carla's place the next day after the incident. Today is the Last ball of the mating season and today is the day Kael has decided to confront his Father to step down from the throne. Nothing could go wrong, right? But the hope is farf

  • Saving Her Lycan   Chapter 59: Who says?

    *KAEL* I hate surprises. From the on start of my life, I have always hated surprises. Birthday surprises? My mother made sure there was nothing like that after I went into a full panic mode the first day she had organized one for me. My gifts were never even wrapped because I hated wanting to know what was wrapped inside. The scent. Fuck! Why did I never think to that level? Why did I not piece two and two together way before now? Maybe I would have stopped the deaths, maybe I would have– Fuck. It's late when I get back — Carla's home precisely. I find my way into the kitchen and fish out a bottle of whiskey from the cabinet. Only if I was not immune to alcohol. I do not bother to take a cup as I uncap the bottle, bringing it to my mouth and gulping it readily. The sting in my throat is welcoming, I do not stop, not until I hear footsteps and her scent tickles my nose. As a moon Lykae, sometimes the ability to recognize scents very easily could be more of a cur

    *KAEL* The familiar gates of the Lyncs barracks greet me as I ride in. I waste no time in parking my scooter and head to General Caulder's office. He will not be expecting me, nor what I have for him. Atwater is the first one I see though, my supposed roommate, he is also headed to Caulder's floor I suppose. "Hey, Atwater!" I yell. He stops and slowly turns back to stare at him, he gasps, his eyes grew wide wide with shock. "Your High... I mean Lieutenant Aspen? Is that really you?" "Obviously. Are you headed to Caulder's office?" He nods. "Come with me then." Atwater says nothing as he leads the way to Caulder's office, he is probably wondering why I am being friendly to him when i never even cared about his existence during my stay here. Getting to Caulder's office, Atwater raises his hand to knock but I push it open instead. Caulder abruptly looks up from his system at my interruption. I cannot tell if it is a genuine smile that graces his fa
