LOGINC27: The Ball NightMrs Ray glanced at her once she arrived and she was sure her gaze softened once she met her.“How are you feeling today?” she asked as she stood before them.“I'm better, thank you for asking Mrs Ray”.Mrs Ray nodded and focused on all of them, “I know I've given you all the necessary instructions for now, but I have another information…” she paused her eyes scanning the females.“The Lycan King is hosting a yearly ball tomorrow. All Lycans are allowed to attend with their mates and families,..... Also His Majesty made an exception for you all like he does every decade. You are also expected to attend the ball in a red dress which will be delivered to you” Mrs Ray spoke calmly.The girls nodded half excited, at least there was a gathering right, in a mundane palace with strict rules restricting them till whatever their fate would be.As the day went by, Raine received a red dress from a maid, she furrowed her brows in confusion, “Are you sure this is for me, I did
C26: The Mark That LingersThey left the tea hall shortly after.Lilith walked ahead while Raine followed beside her. Liya trailed quietly behind them, holding Raine’s things.The palace halls were long and quiet, with guards stationed at intervals. Raine’s eyes moved around as they walked, taking in the structure, marveled at the interior beauty.After a short distance, they heard footsteps approaching, Raine looked up.It was Prince Kaizen.He slowed down as he got to them, his blue eyes moving from Lilith to Raine.“Lilith,” he called.Lilith smiled slightly. “Kaizen.” His name rolled off sweetly from her tongue.Kaizen’s gaze shifted to Raine again.“Where are you both heading to?” he asked.Lilith answered calmly, “We are going to see the Royal Physician. She has a rash that needs to be checked.”Kaizen’s brows lifted slightly.“A rash?” he repeated as he searched for it with his eyes, his gaze settled on Raine’s neck.Raine felt slightly uncomfortable under his stare.He steppe
C25: Itching SpotLiya nodded forward, her head bowed deeply.Raine turned around and saw him.Her breath caught slightly.His face up close, was far more dangerously handsome than afar. For a second, she forgot herself and simply stared.Her lips parted but no words left them, Lucian stared at her sternly.Then she noticed the look on his face. It was not warm. It was distant and displeased.Raine lowered her head quickly.“Greetings to you, Grand Prince,” she said with a slight bow.Lucian’s gaze rested on her for a brief moment. His eyes narrowed slightly before he gave a low hum in response.Raine felt her heart skip, but she said nothing more.His aura was strong that Liya was trembling slightly, her head still lowered.But Raine was not afraid, she felt something else.Excitement.She did not understand it, Lucian walked past them without another word.Raine turned slightly and watched him for a moment before finally walking back to her quarters.A servant knocked at the door and
C24: First Day At The Lycan PalaceRaine slept soundly that night.The next morning, she woke up to a slight shake. She frowned and rubbed her eyes before turning to the side.It was Liya.“Why are you here?” Raine asked softly, her voice still heavy with sleep.Then she paused, the memory returned quickly.They were no longer in the Silver Pack.They were in the Lycan Kingdom and Liya had been assigned to her.Raine sighed softly and sat up. “I forgot,” she added quietly.Liya lowered her head slightly. “My lady, it is time to get ready,” she said.Raine nodded and got out of bed.She went to bathe, letting the cool water wake her fully. After she was done, she dressed in a simple but neat red dress that complemented her hair.She pinned part of her hair and let the rest flow freely behind her.When she stepped out, Liya gave a small approving nod “my lady you look beautiful” she said with a warm smile which Raine returned.“Let’s go,” Raine said.They walked out together and headed
C23: His Eyes The doors of the courtroom opened once again.A heavy presence filled the room before the figure even stepped in.He walked in with slow, steady steps, his aura overwhelming and domineering. The air itself seemed to shift around him, making it hard to breathe.Raine felt his presence immediately, her fingers twitched slightly as a strange instinct pushed her to lower her head and bare her neck in submission. She clenched her hands tightly, forcing herself to remain still, she turned slightly and noticed the girls were frightened and bowed deeply, none wanted to bare their neck or they were fighting the urge just like she was.Her eyes lifted slightly instinctively.From the side view alone, she could see his sharp, masculine features. His long hair flowed behind him, reaching his lower back. It was black, but strands of blue caught the light with each effortless stride he took.Raine swallowed hard, Then he turned after greeting the lycan king.Her breath hitched as hi
C22: Arrival at the Lycan PalaceThey set off in the carriage.Raine glanced at the necklace in her hand before gently putting it on. The ride was smooth at first, but once they reached a rocky path, the carriage shook occasionally.Maya held onto the edge of her seat tightly.They would only glance at each other occasionally, none daring to start a conversation.They all wondered what the Lycan kingdom would be like.The presence of the two messengers was enough to keep everyone quiet.Raine leaned back slightly, her eyes fixed ahead. She didn’t speak either.They traveled for two days before reaching a vast land. The city gate was huge and sturdy.One of the messengers opened the window and showed a pendant with a Lycan mark on it.The guard stepped forward, took a quick look, then nodded.“Open the gate,” he ordered in an authoritative tone.The large black gates were pulled open, the carriage moved in.Raine and the other girls opened the windows slightly, looking out at the Lycan
C16: The Marriage Raine stirred in her sleep as a sharp yet careful knock woke her up, it felt distant for a while til it became loud.She sat up, rubbing her eyes as a soft yawn escaped her lips.The knock came again and she furrowed her brows, wondering who and why the person was knocking, she w
C15: Alice's Garden PlansThe next day the house was lively. Raine went to the living room only to find Alice and Luna Indira speaking with a seamstress about the fabric she would wear.It brought back the harsh reality that Raphael was no longer hers. The happiness she once had had been skillfully
C13: Life changing Decision Inner training ground Raphael stood in the middle of the field coaching other younger warriors as they practiced. His vision blurred for a second, this was the tenth time his wolf was trying to take control. The need to mark his mate was becoming too much, hot sweat
C17: The Lycan DecreeThe next morning, the mansion was normal as it was before.The traces of the previous night’s celebration were still there.empty goblets, scattered petals, and half-cleared tables… They were reminders of the couple’s union.Raine didn't have breakfast with them but left for th
