Alruin

He had to be messing with me. There’s no way Malric would give up what he had worked his entire life for. It was absurd!

I finished tying the reins of my horse to a slim tree and turned to look at him. He was resting on a sac he had brought along, staring at the sky interminably with his palm shielding his forehead. I was stunned to see him. Shocked that he would dare to leave his comfort zone for me. I sighed and walked to him. His gaze slowly shifted from the sky to my face.

“The sun will be out very soon,” he said, “we have been riding for most of the night. Better get some rest before we get going again.”

I scoffed, “We?” I asked and his brows furrowed, “There’s no we, Malric. We end here. You suddenly showed up again and ruined another good relationship I built with people. It’s like that’s the role you were born to play in my life and it’s so damn sickening!”

He frowned, “You made friends with who exactly, Alruin? Werewolf hunters? Oh, come on, you know I saved you fr

    AlruinWe were back under the covers of the willow tree and I was still trying to catch my breath. He had beautiful, ludicrous green eyes that gleamed like embers in a night sky. His thin-lined lips were pursed attentively. His lean, diamond-shaped face carried a strange intensity that added more detail to his attentive features. I thought about it for a while, strained my mind until I felt an ache at the back of my head—I didn't know who this man was. He wasn't that old. Judging from what I could see, he had to still be in his early thirties. “Who the hell are you?” I asked and glanced behind me to see if Malric had noticed my absence, he hadn't. I had been stolen away from him so meticulously that Malric noticed nothing. “She sent me,” he replied and his eyes softened when she regarded me, “I'm sorry for dragging you away in that manner, but I didn't want,” he glanced behind me nervously, “to get his attention.” “Why? And who sent you?”“The witch, Marla,” he puffed out his

    AlruinThat night, I walked back into our room with a dejected expression plastered on my face.It had been a long, dreadful day that had ended up fruitless. The clinics were full and no, they didn’t need my assistance in any way. In the doctor’s words, they had enough hands to take care of the sick people in their town. It was a marvel how Malric of all people had managed to get a job in this town while I was still struggling. “You look terrible.” He said flatly.I ignored him, suddenly annoyed by his presence and strolled to the window. I stared at the river again, waiting for it to get dark to see if the fog would rise again. I suddenly felt Malric’s strong presence beside me, but he didn’t say a word. I grew uneasy as the silence lingered on, then slowly looked at him. He was also staring at the river, with more intensity and concern than he had the previous night. “It’s a mist.” He said, “and at first, it never used to appear, then sometimes once or twice a month, then it b

    Lyra “The people understand that the Alpha’s position cannot be left vacant and so they trust me to fill in perfectly,” he remarked, his chest rising and falling heavily, and his naked body glistening with sweat. “Lord Sabeleon is too old and surprisingly weak to rule anymore. It seems like the fate of the pack now rests on my shoulders.” I placed a palm on his chest and smiled, “As it should have always been. When was the last time power in Vantheir didn’t rest in the hands of the Blackthorns?” I asked softly.He chuckled, “Centuries ago.” “And now, you are the one who rules. You are usurper, you didn’t take over by a coup. The people accept you regardless of the fact that you are no Blackthorn, doesn’t that tell you anything, Draven?”His eyes widen with fascination, as if just realizing everything I have been telling him. He looked at me and suddenly pulled my hips to his. “You’re fucking right, Lyra. I never really thought about it that way, but the people didn’t cheer for Ma

    Malric “I don’t think I have ever seen you in this town, sonny,” the old man said, his dirty sweat soaked singlet sticking to his body like a second skin. He had just finished hammering down on the hot, molten blade of a sword he had just made and now handed it to me to dip it in the wooden bucket of water, “what did you come down here for?”I didn’t reply as I watched the heat fizzle out of the water. It was fascinating how a sword could be created, but I felt intoxicated and beleaguered by the heat in this rusty old shed. He was right behind me now and I frowned in annoyance. I never imagined old people were this chatty, clearly he had no company in years! “I came down for the water.” I replied and took the sword out of the water. I placed it on an anvil. “I hear that’s what this city is about.”He rolled his eyes and lumbered across the shed to a wooden bench. He gobbled down a bottle of water and sighed heavily. “The water, eh? That’s what most folks come to this measly town f

    Alruin “What do you mean by I can leave? I came here for you, Alruin.”I didn’t drag my gaze away from the window, “I know, and now I am saying you can leave. You are not obligated to stay with me. It’s not an order, like anyone could ever give you one anyway.” I replied flatly, “This entire thing is not your vibe, Malric. You can’t fit in. Your pack will always accept you, you know that, right?”He scoffed, “My, I really can’t believe this, Alruin. I gave up everything for you and-”“I never asked you to,” I cut in, frustrated by that repetitive hook of his, “I didn’t drag you here, Malric. I didn’t ask you to give up everything, it was a choice. Five years ago when I gave up everything, it wasn’t my choice, okay? Just go if you want to, but I am staying, because I know there is something wrong with this town.” “And what if they are after us? Lorak’s pack? My pack? Just what if? And then we get caught up in a shabby town like this when we should be on our way to that witch of your

    Alruin We stumbled upon a small town beside a massive river and something about it felt off instantly.“We’ll really need to leave this particular town early this time,” Malric said and stared at me begrudgingly, “so we do not bump into something we do not want to see.”I rolled my eyes and glanced behind us at a fog that had risen just above the river. The hotel was just on the outskirts of the town, right where any person coming in could see it and only a distance away from the river. Nothing fancy really, its tawdry exterior made Malric grimace and I hid a mischievous smirk. I was curious to see how Malric would fit in without his Alpha robe and servants and all the privileges that had come with his position. He would have to be a normal person, full time and I could almost smell a disaster coming. “It’s night,” I mumbled, more to myself than him, “why is there a fog above the river?”The stableboy that took the reins of our horses giggled suddenly, “That’s the water spirit, s
