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
Lycus's pov The tension in the air thickened and so did the foul scent from the broken bottle. Anger rose within me, raging anger and I curled my fists as my claws threatened to come out.let me at her! Spyro growled trying to force shift and I didn't know how long I would keep him at bay for. He had been waiting for this and this was the perfect situation."Start talking!" I snapped at the quivering brunette before me as her hand latched on the door handle, "Start fucking talking before I lose my fucking mind!" My anger agitated gravely as she tried to morph an innocent facial expression."I don't know what you are talking about." She denied, her eyes dancing in fear as she opened the door, "I have no idea what you speak off."I gritted taking slow but menacing steps towards her, betraying me was one thing but lying to me like I was some foolish toddler was another, "Don't fucking test me laya." And at my last words she bolted out the door immediately and that was w
Nyx's povI hissed in pain trying not to wail as the silver shackles burnt my flesh, searing through it creating fresh scars. New tears rolled down my cheeks as he brought the whip down again and again. I bit down on my lower lip closing my eyes as I tried not to cry out in anguish, that was what he wanted I couldn't give him the satisfaction."You broke my trust Nyx." He grimaced at me with a frown, "I fed you to a nice breakfast and treated you with less cruelty yet you ran away from me the moment I turned my back on you!" He threw the whip at me again and my body swung from the harsh impact, "If you had stayed put, I wouldn't have to treat you this way!"I didn't say anything to him. I just hung my head low in silence as blood seeped through my fresh wounds trailing down my body and falling in tiny droplets to the floor."You make me behave like a monster." He grunted before dropping the whip to the floor. He reached up freeing me from my shackles and I fell to the ground with a th
Lycus's pov"Remember to control yourself Spyro, you can't just kill him at once since he is an Alpha, you will risk losing everything!" She sounded the warning again and Spyro turned his head to the red wolf running beside him."Mother, that's like asking me to live without Hera, in other words it's impossible!" He grunted doubling his speed as he led the warriors through the abandoned houses.Alpha Titan was surely smart, bringing her into the desolate areas where nothing will be suspected and they will not be easily found.Can you smell her yet? I asked him as he went on.No, I can't, He replied worriedly.We continued moving as we tried to find the house with the description Laya had given us but all houses looked the same and just in that moment a sweet scent hit us, the most alluring and sensual scent.A growl vibrated within Spyro and he began to pant wildly as he chased after the scent like a maddened wolf. I could sense that most males in my pack were also affected as simila
Trigger Warning ⚠️: mentions of abuse, assault, sexual assault. ______ Lycus's pov "You need to get her out of here!" My mother growled as she and Willow stood guard pressing themselves against the door of Xerxes's chambers, "I don't think we can hold them off any longer." I looked at Nyx laying on the bed half awake, half asleep as Xerxes applied the healing potions on her. I fisted my hands taking in deep breaths as the urge to mate and mark her worsened, first, it was her heat scent driving me crazy and now the anger that came with the unmated wolves outside the door banging on it to claim my mate. She was clean now, traces of blood wiped away from her but her wounds were still fresh and she looked battered. She turned over, the shirt she wore which was mine ridding up her laps and I let out a primal growl, the urge to rip the shirt off her and mate with her till she bred grew worse. "Fuck!" I groaned as she opened her eyes and stared at me with those green orbs, her eyes call
