Nyx's pov I opened my eyes which have been closed for a while now, a gasp left my lips when I gazed at my reflection in the mirror, for once I could say I looked gorgeous, I looked powerful, I looked like a Queen.A Queen fit enough for Lycus.My hair was done up in curled tendrils and semi curled ones. It was sometimes done in a bun with other thick strands falling around my face. My face wasn't done with minimal make up this time, it was full make up which managed to be flawless at the same time. Every contour of my face was well done and highlighted.I had on the new diamond set of jewelry Lycus had gifted me plus the other ornaments I never took off.The dress which adorned my body was simply magnificent, it was a ball gown which a semi flare and a corseted bodice. My bosom was slightly pushed up which I was sure Lycus would find delightful and the corset was studded with precious stones, the flare was elegant as white as the corset."Time for the robe luna." One
Nyx's pov"Are you well Hermosa?" Lycus asked drawing me closer to him, he must have definitely noticed my change in countenance."Good evening, your highnesses." Alpha Titan greeted before I could answer, he was really close to us now and a smile took over his harsh features but the hatred in his eyes was unnoticed, at least by me."Good evening Titan?" Lycus greeted as he held me closer to him. I had begun to shiver in fear from how near he was to us now. He couldn't stop himself from gazing at me and for a moment I could see his eyes settled on my bosom before going back to my face, his eyes speaking volumes of threats."Yes your highness, Alpha Titan of the coremoon pack." I snatched a glass of Champagne from a tray a server held as he passed by. Lycus gave me a funny look as I downed it immediately and then dropped it on another tray carried by a different server who was in motion.I looked in the direction of where Amara was, Helena was conversing with some people while my daugh
Lycus's pov My dark eyes gazed at her as she ran away from the ballroom, the length of her gown bouncing as she did, her hands were on her face and I could tell that she was crying.Nyx, my sweet Nyx, A smile curved on my lips as my eyes were still fixated on the place she just passed through, the image of her gown train bouncing as she ran never left my head. I smiled to myself again thinking about how beautiful she was as she descended down the steps to meet me.The white gown she wore which I noticed was corseted fitted her like a glove, like it was specially fashioned for her, well I had it fashioned for her and the way it was so perfect blew my mind. Her bosom was accentuated by the corset and I had the primal urge to bury my face in them and leave teeth marks for the whole world to know that she was mine.She had given me an innocent smile like the pretty angel she was. She was so innocent, fragile and beautiful. I wanted to protect her at all cost to make up f
Lycus's pov. Often, people think that anger is the worse possible emotion that can overcome you, I thought so too till this very night when I was overcome by another emotion, sadness. Sadness was worse, when sad you have no control over your self, you do what your heart tells you, you let it lead, you let it control you.When I murdered the guard I had assigned to Nyx, it was sadness. Sadness that my mate was gone, whisked away from under my nose. It was sadness that made me go on a rampage tearing down the castle and destroying everything in my way.She was gone, as I feared and now I was sad.At first we had waited thinking she must have gone for a walk or something but after searching the castle and forest grounds severally tonight, she wasn't found and there was nothing found. I was utterly convinced that she was gone, the sharp feeling in my chest had refused to go ever since I realised that she truly was gone. There was no struggle, her scent was lo
Lycus's povI stormed out of Akanther's castle in a fit of rage. I couldn't stay back wasting my time in trying to get answers out of that weakling. He was the ruler of the vampires yet the weakest I had ever come across, how that happened? I couldn't phantom.All the more reason he needed Nyx for the dumb sacrifice! His thirst for power has him seeking out my mate and it made me livid. At first when I received his letters, I had thought he was bluffing and simply playing games as he was quite the comical man just as his existence was a joke, but mother had confirmed it and so did her fellow members at the wolves council.If Akanther was to sacrifice Nyx and feed off her blood, he could become the most powerful in an abominable way since Nyx was cursed as they said.What do you think spyro? I asked my raging wolf as we led the troops out of the pale leeches land, He seems to be telling the truth.We have about six more kingdoms and I should say we search them even if they do not pose
Lycus's pov I winced as the blade slightly grazed my skin drawing a bit of blood, "Sorry love." She cooed as she smoothed the tiny wound with her finger. She ran the blade along the edges of my new beard growth giving it neat lines making me wonder where she had learnt it from. The shaving cream slowly diminishing as she ran the cuts."You look less like a hermit now." She took the towel and wiped off the excess cream before taking some water and rinsing it, droplets of water ran from my jaw down to my bare chest.I stared at my reflection in the mirror and a shadow of myself stared back at me. I looked better now that my beard which I unwilling kept was well kept but my eyes still carried the same hooded sadness with bags under them."Do you need anything else?" Feminine hands clasped my shoulders lovingly."That will be all mother." I nodded, "Thank you.""How are you feeling?" She asked me the same question she had always asked ever since Nyx went missing. It ha
Nyx's pov. This time around, he didn't get me in the forest near the castle. He got me right there in the ball room snatching me away from Lycus's arm as he came. Lycus didn't seem to mind, he just stood there watching me scream in agony as Alpha Titan threw me to the ground. He gave me a blow to the head while at it and blood spilled from where my skin cracked staining my angelic white garment. The crown had fallen from the head and rolled away."Please don't! Help!" I screamed at the crowd while trying desperately to crawl away from him but his sinister grey eyes twinkled with mischief as he watched me plead.No one cared to answer to my pleas or cries for help, not even my mate. It was as if I was present yet in a different world from them, like they couldn't see nor hear me."I warned you didn't I?" He growled at me holding the same whip he had used to torture me while I was with him, "You are mine to possess Nyx! I told you I will get you!" He flung the whip to
Nyx's pov"Get up!" His bark jolted me from my forced unconsciousness. I tried to raise my head but the throbbing pain wouldn't let me, my eyes were swollen shut and raw pain seared through out my body, I could still feel blood leaking from my wounds, my body felt Matty and sticky from the red liquid running on it, my blood, "I said get up!" He kicked me again.It wasn't Alpha Titan this time, it was one of the men that had abducted me I recognized the voice. I didn't budge as I couldn't summon the strength to even open my eyes which changed soon as hot boiling liquid was poured on me. I screamed in agony as the water met my wounds jumping up instantly in pain. My swollen eyes still clamped shut with tears escaping from the closed lids.He jerked me up, squeezing my arms and then he led me to a tub in the room which I hadn't realised was there. I was forced into the tub which already had water, I gritted from the effect it had on my wounds, the water turned red and dirty as I sank bac
