Forbidden Fruit

Sage had known the risks of an affair with a Lycan, especially while she was a witch. But it seemed her heart had overruled her head, and now she had to face the consequences of that decision. Taking a deep breath and surveying her reflection one last time in the mirror, Sage saw the signs of her accidental pregnancy that she was unable to hide. Her hybrid identity signified by the stardust glimmer in her eyes was undeniable, and so was the biggest decision of her life she was about to make – to run. She knew it was only a matter of time before her secret would be exposed, and she had to leave before that happened. Sage's cautionary tale is one for witches everywhere - if you follow your heart instead of your head, you may find yourself in a much more difficult situation than you could have ever imagined.

The consequences for her and her unborn child were dire. If Sage remained in the same area as the Lycans, she would be discovered and condemned for bearing a hybrid child. To flee was their only chance of survival, but there was no guarantee of safety. Every step she took, every corner she turned could bring more danger and peril than what they had left behind. It was imperative that Sage remain inconspicuous and careful. No matter how much she wanted to be with Nikko, neither of them could afford any more mistakes or slip-ups. It took immense courage to trust her instincts and make such a daring move, but it was the only hope they had to keep her and her baby safe. She knew this journey would be full of obstacles, but they could not let fear stop them from making the best decisions for their future together.

Sage knew that it was an impossible situation. As alpha of the Lycan pack, Nikko had strict orders not to produce a Lycan-witch hybrid, and now she was carrying his child. Each day she held her breath that he wouldn't find out, but eventually, he did, and his anger was undeniable.

But despite the overwhelm by the situation, Sage couldn't ignore the passion between them. She had to take a chance and run away with the cub, hoping that Nikko would follow her and prove his love for her. It was a huge gamble and one that could put her in danger if he didn't come after her. The thought of it made her heart ache, but she had to risk it to find out if their love could survive this challenge.

It was a dangerous path she was walking, but as long as she kept faith in Nikko then maybe they could make it out of this mess alive. However, if they failed to break free from the rules of the Lycan pack then Sage knew their relationship would be doomed forever.

She opened the door and stepped out into the night. Her heart pounded in her chest and despite the danger, Sage could feel her anticipation building. This would be the first step on an epic journey, and the first step to discovering if she and her alpha lover could overcome the boundaries that had been forced upon them.

Sage took a deep breath and forced her feet to move forward, into the unknown. She had no idea what lay ahead, but she knew that it was something far greater than anything she had ever experienced before.

The night air was cool and refreshing against her skin as she walked, her senses alive and alert as if they were preparing her for whatever was to come. She could feel the energy of the forest around her, the trees whispering secrets in their ancient tongues.

As Sage continued to walk, the moonlight cast a soft glow over everything around her. She felt like a tiny speck in an infinite expanse of darkness, but it only made her feel more alive than ever before.

When she finally reached the edge of the forest, Sage paused for a moment to take it all in. The stars glittered above her and the stars seemed brighter here than anywhere else she had been before. It was as if they were guiding her on this journey, lighting up a path that only she could see.

Sage smiled to herself as she stepped out onto the open field beyond the forest’s edge. She felt free and liberated; ready to take on whatever challenges lay ahead of her. With newfound courage, Sage continued forward on her journey into the unknown, ready for whatever destiny awaited her at its end.

Nikko, the alpha of the Lycan pack was having a house meeting about refining the bylaws of their pack, but he was distracted by his night of passion with Sage. How soft her skin felt against his. No, I must forget about her. Nikko shook his head, trying to clear his mind and focus on the task at hand. He had to stay focused. He was the alpha and it was his responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of the pack.

He took a deep breath and stood up, addressing the pack with a commanding voice. “We must review our bylaws and ensure that everyone is following them so that we can remain a strong, unified pack. Let us discuss how we can best accomplish this goal.”

The pack began discussing potential changes to their bylaws, debating various points back and forth until they eventually agreed on an updated set of rules that would better protect them all.

Standing there and surveying his packmates, Nikko was filled with pride for what they had achieved as a team. He was conscious of the fact that no matter what the future held, his pack would be there to offer strength and assistance. He was grateful for the strong links of friendship and devotion that bound them together. A warm smile crossed his face as he thought to himself, "We are truly family." Since he had been a Lycan cub, their family ties had been an essential part of their culture. His packmates were more than just friends, they were his siblings. They had the same heritage and could always count on each other for help, regardless of the situation.

The pack had grown so much over the years, and it was amazing to see how far they had come. They had faced many challenges together, but they had emerged stronger and closer than ever before.

No matter how hard life got, Nikko knew that his pack would be there for him. He was grateful for everything they had done, and he knew that as long as they stayed together, they could conquer anything.

But one person could solidify this family bond, but Witches and Lycans relations were forbidden.

Sage.

The pack would never accept her as one of them. Yet, Nikko knew that if he could just get them to accept her, then their bond would be even stronger. He wouldn't give up on his dream of a united family and he was determined to make it happen.
