The Lycan King's Forbidden Fruit.ย ย ย A Strange Urge
[Diegoโs POV]I donโt bother thinking much of Chanelโs words as she heads out to help Clement and healer Murdoch. There really wasnโt any point in it anyway; that woman talked for the hell of talking most of the time.Tearing my gaze away from the direction she disappeared, I look at the woman who remains unconscious. Despite the black marks still marring her skin, her complexion was getting better.Thatโs good. I think inwardly and then immediately freeze.โWhat the hell?โWhy would I give a damn whether or not she was alright? Since she did what she was meant to do, our companionship would end here. I didnโt need her anymore and could go back to my mundane days. At least, that was what I wanted to think. However, as this thought hits me, I feel that annoying sensation in my chest once again.Frowning, I reach out and press a finger against the womanโs cheek so that once again I feel just how hot her skin is.โI must be losing it,โ I grumble, trailing it along her skin until it reach

[Diegoโs POV]I stand outside, breathing in the air, in an attempt to clear the smell of blood and decay from my nose. Chanel, who stands beside me, keeps her gaze fixed on me, and when I canโt take it anymore, I let my eyes meet hers.โWhat?โ I demand. โWhy are you looking at me like that?โโWhat do you plan on doing with Anthrose?โFlinching, I remember the miserable man inside the barracks who looks as if he has seen much and find my mind wandering. Why was he even there to start with? Especially after he up and left the way he did.โWhy should I care?โ I respond, trying to keep the betrayal I feel from bubbling to the surface. โAnthrose stopped being my problem long ago.โFor a moment, Chanel doesnโt speak as her eyes examine my face, looking for some sign that Iโm not being serious, but when she doesnโt find it, she lets out a sigh.โYou really arenโt honest,โ she says, patting my shoulder. โWhether youโre still holding a grudge or not, he was once your master, and you wouldnโt b

[Rosalieโs POV]My heart hurts, and I donโt quite understand why. Since the start, I knew this was the reason I was hereโnothing more and nothing lessโyet to hear it straight out of his lips again and again hurt like hell.โItโs good that you understand,โ Diego says. โNow, you should continue to rest.โโRoger that,โ I sigh, snuggling into my blanket and turning over so that my back is to him. โI was just about to do that anyway.โI was being petty; even I knew that, and honestly, I was sure that Diego was seeing me as some bratty kid with the way I was acting.โThen Iโll be leaving.โNodding, I donโt bother saying anything as I close my eyes and listen to the sound of Diego making his way out of the hut so that Iโm left alone.For the next few days, Diego doesnโt return, and the only company I have is healer Murdoch, who keeps a close eye on me. Of course, I expected the elder to stick close, but I didnโt expect Chanel to also do the same.On the first day, I didnโt really mind her pr

[Diegoโs POV]I shoot a glare at the woman who sits silently with her determined gaze fixed on Anthrose. Who was she to even stick her nose in our business? This was between us, and she had no place in it.โThereโs noโฆโ I begin, but stop as Chanel shoots me an annoyed look.โIโm with cute Rosalie,โ she says, throwing her arms around the womanโs shoulders. โI think that instead of continuing with this pissing contest, we should get Anthroseโs side on this whole thing.โAnnoyance flashes through me at her words, and I turn my gaze to Anthrose, who quietly listens to our discussion. Releasing him, I step back and narrow my gaze while wondering if the stubborn bastard was going to try to defend himself, but he doesnโt speak a word.โI think that is enough of an explanation,โ I say slowly, tearing my gaze away from him and turning it to Chanel. โAnything else you want to try?โโAnthrose,โ Chanel says slowly, her voice giving way to her true emotions. โPlease, why donโt you tell us the trut

[Diegoโs POV]โQuit being absurd.โAs I speak, the womanโs eyes come to rest on me as she gives me a look of confusion. Even this new look causes that strange stirring to erupt, but before it can grow, I tear my gaze away.โRight, Iโm crazy,โ Chanel cackles, not missing the moment. โAnd since youโre here, I think that Anthrose and I will take our leave.โโWhere are you going?โ I ask as Chanel wraps her arms around Anthroseโs. โDidnโt you bring him here because he needs treatment?โโOf course not,โ Chanel responds. โI brought him here so he could properly thank dear Rosalie. If it wasnโt for her helping him, he would most certainly end up like the rest.โAt her words, the woman flinches, and I realize that she isnโt aware of the fate of the infected. Since she was stuck in this place, she didnโt know a thing about what was going on outside of these four walls.โWhat happened to them?โ She asks, her face falling. โDid they not get better?โโTheyโreโฆ.โ Chanel begins, but stops as I shake

[Rosalieโs POV]I remain silent as Diego leads out the dark-haired beauty who appeared out of nowhere. It leaves me with an odd feeling in my chest. Maybe it was because of how strange Diego was acting earlier on, or maybe it was just my selfishness.Sighing, I tear my gaze away from the direction they left and flop down in my bed while pushing the sensation away.โWhatever theyโre doing doesnโt concern you,โ I murmur, tugging my blanket to my chin and rolling over so that my back is to the door. โStop expecting things.โAs the words leave my lips, I close my eyes and begin to let myself drift.When I wake up the next morning, Diego still hasnโt returned, but healer Murdoch and his assistant Clement have. Their presence is a welcome distraction from the torrent of emotions Iโm feeling, and when Chanel appears with Anthrose in tow, any remaining uneasiness disappears and is replaced by anxiety.โDonโt worry,โ Chanel giggles as I warily watch Anthrose. โThis big bad wolf has promised to

[Rosalieโs POV]The room around me grows quiet as Chanel and Anthrose consider my words. Although Diego was more or less aware of the reason I was in prison, these two probably weren't. Well, I guess this would decide whether or not they both would choose to continue having something to do with me.โYou,โ Anthrose says, breaking the silence. โA scrawny thing like you managed to kill three grown men? Were they omegas?โโNo,โ I respond, bristling. โOne was an alpha and my husband at the time. The other two were his beta and delta.โNodding, Anthrose once again ponders over what Iโm telling him, but instead of the look of hatred I became used to, his features showed pity. Was this man actually feeling bad for me after knowing that I was a murderer?โThey did something to you, right?โ Chanel asks, pulling me closer to her. โThat had to be the reason you did it, right?โโTheyโฆโ I begin as images of that time begin to emerge.

[Diegoโs POV]โWhat is it you want?โI stand outside of healer Murdoch's, staring at Chanel while she gives me a look of amusement. What the hell was going through this womanโs head, and why did she insist on dragging me out here right after the woman said she wasnโt feeling well? Shouldnโt we be making sure that she was fine since we didnโt know if this battle with the darkness was over?โAre you truly that oblivious?โ Chanel huffs, giving me a look of annoyance.Oblivious. Who the fuck was she calling oblivious?โI donโt know what youโre referring to." I sigh. โIf you brought us out here to talk nonsense, then Iโm...โโAre you that worried about her?โChanelโs words stop me dead in my tracks as something in me pulls. Frowning, I try to make sense of the sudden foreign feeling that is beginning to build in me. What was this?โYou donโt have to answer that,โ Chanel giggles as Anthrose lets out a huff of a laugh. โDonโt you think it is about time you stopped acting like a hardass?โโSh

[Ciaranโs POV]I lead my little mate through the bar and out toward the parking lot while everything in me screams to stop this and just leave her. However, unlike the first time we met, the bond feels so much stronger, and I canโt stop my wolf as it begs to have a taste of her. And frankly, this evening I wasnโt in the mood to be cautious, not when fate was continuing to bring her to me. However, there was something that didnโt make sense and that bugged the fuck out of me.She recognized me and my threat.Frowning, I reach my car and yank open the door to the backseat, and not wasting any time, I throw her inside and then climb in, slamming the door behind me. And once inside, Iโm trapping her wrists between my hand, taking note of how fucking tiny they feel in my grasp. All I had to do was squeeze a little, and they would break.A human. I was mated to a fucking human. Me. Mated to such a weak being. What kind of fucking joke was this?โWhy?โ I grunt, trying to make sense of what w

[Chanelโs POV]My body buzzes with a delicious energy due to Anthrose marking me. Even though Iโm exhausted from the ordeal that Iโve suffered through, I feel so invigorated that it leaves me stunned. However, by the looks of Anthrose and even Gil, who silently slumps to the side, I know that not all of us are going to be able to search for the artifacts needed to save Rosalie and Diego.โAnthrose,โ I say quietly, letting him slump against me. โWe should let Sam and the others find the artifacts.โโWhat are you saying?โ Anthrose demands, jerking away. โHow can we possiblyโฆโHe doesnโt finish his words before he is collapsing again, and I know that he isnโt going to fight me if I drag his ass out of here.

[Anthroseโs POV]Joy rushes through me as the taste of blood explodes on my tongue. Goddess, it tastes so good, especially mixed with the fear that is trickling from the one that Iโm slowly ripping limb from limb. Itโs all I can taste, all I can feel, all I can focus on.Thatโs it. The darkness in me purrs. Kill. Kill everyone.Kill everyone. Right. I needed to kill everyone because theyโre the ones who did this. This was their fault. They were the reason I was left with no other choice but to embrace the beast that I always kept in the shadows.Kill.The word repeats itself in my mind again and again until I feel hands wrapping around me, pulling at me, all of them attempting to stop me from killing the one beneath me.โAnthrose.โโStop it.โโWe need him alive.โBullshit.

[Chanelโs POV]I stare on, watching as Anthrose and the rest of his group surge forward, attacking the guards who were just sneering at me, and I canโt help but laugh at the difference in their demeanors.โCowards,โ I spit, sitting up and snapping my thumbs back into place. โActing all high and mighty until actual danger appears.โAs I speak, I grab the chains that are holding my ankles and begin to pull while ignoring the pain that shoots through me. Fuck, they were strong, but I was stronger. Soon enough, they begin to crack and then break apart, allowing me to finally get up and move to Gilโs side.โJust hang in there a bit longer, alright?โ I tell him, clutching his cuff and starting to fight with it. โThen we will get you out of here andโฆโโNo!โ Gil gasps before breaking into a coughing fit. โWe canโt just leave!โFrowning, I take in his words, trying to make sense of what it is that he is saying, but I donโt get to question him further before pain shoots through me and my body a

[Anthroseโs POV]The next morning we move out the minute the warm sun begins to paint the ground that we sleep on. After a quick breakfast, we head out with me leading the way since Iโm the only one who can get a feel for the location that we are searching for.Together, we silently move across the island while keeping our senses alert in case of a surprise attack. However, the expected never happens, and by the time we are close to our destination, I canโt help but feel like all of this is too easy, and by the tension I feel from my companions, I know that theyโre feeling the same.โUp ahead,โ Sam murmurs, coming to my side. โI can see it.โNodding, I take in the shining figure that Iโm certain is the temple, noting the dark aura that radiates around it. Even from here I could tell that the things residing within were something the normal wolf wouldnโt want to approach, but given what we were fighting for, I wasnโt going to let it stop me.โPrepare yourselves.โ I announce, letting my

[Anthroseโs POV]For the rest of the day, I search the island for a sign of where Chanel and Gil may be, but come up empty. And when my group canโt seem to move anymore, I have to call the search to a halt. However, that doesnโt mean that I donโt continue to keep my connection with the earth, searching while dinner is made.Itโs a silent ordeal, as Iโm certain that the entire group is feeling the weight of what is at hand and what we may encounter when we find the ones we are searching for. I could only assume that a fight was waiting for us, and it was because of that that I even agreed to res.Sighing, I close my eyes and let myself slip deeper into a trance, searching until I feel something press against my consciousness that snaps me to alertness as hope flares through me along with a longing that Iโve never felt before.โChanel,โ I whisper, not daring to truly believe that Iโm feeling what I am. โIs that you?โFor a moment, all Iโm met with is silence, causing me to believe that

[Anthroseโs POV]My body screams at me, begging me to stop, to take a break, but I canโt stop moving. Behind me, I can hear noises of complaint and exhaustion escaping my companions, making it clear that theyโre feeling the same thing as me. However, I canโt stop moving; I wonโt stop moving; just the thought of stopping makes me so damn anxious I want to fucking destroy something. I canโt stop the feeling that if I stop looking even for a second, Chanel will vanish completely.Shivering, I try not to think of a world where she doesnโt exist somewhere. Sure, it was one thing to keep my distance and allow her to live the life that she deserves, but to even think of her not being somewhere alive and happy damn near kills me.โChanel.โ I call to the darkness, hoping and praying that by some miracle she will respond to me. โWhere are you? Why arenโt you answering me?โโAnthrose.โI immediately freeze as the voice reaches me, but I realize a moment too late that it wasnโt Chanelโs voice, it

[Chanelโs POV]I look around me, taking in the stone walls around me, noting how theyโre cracking, allowing vines to grow through them while my intrusive thoughts try to get the better of me. Theyโre screaming things like what if this place were to collapse. What if you find yourself at a dead end? What if you run out of air? Itโs irritating as fuck, and even though I keep telling them to shut up, they just wonโt.โHey,โ I call to Tyson, who leads the way in hopes of distracting myself. โAre you certain that we are going in the right direction?โSince he was the one to choose our path and take the lead, I could only hope that he somehow could track the way out of this place, but what if he was just leading us deeper into this underground labyrinth?โHey,โ I repeat when he doesnโt respond to me. โIโm talking to you.โFrustration growing, I move forward and grab his shoulder, forcing him to turn and look at me, but Iโm not met with the same gaze that I was used to. Instead, Iโm met with
The Lycan King's Forbidden Fruit.ย ย ย His Desperateness
[Anthroseโs POV]We spend the rest of the day searching for any sign of Chanel or Tyson, but all we come up with is nothing. Itโs almost like neither of them existed or were somehow spirited away from earth.โWe should rest.โ Henry, one of Ulrickโs warriors, suggests later that evening. โWe will be useless in helping them if we are exhausted.โโAre you saying that this little bit of action exhausts you?โ I demand. โIf that's the case, you are more than welcome to rest, but Iโm going to keep searching.โโBut, sirโฆโโI said I was going to keep searching!โ I growl, not giving two fucks if I came across as argumentative or defiant. โThereโs no fucking way that Iโm going to stop until I find her.โEven though only a couple of hours had passed, I couldnโt help but feel like days, even weeks, had already gone by without Chanelโs presence. It was fucking maddening, and I was beginning to feel like a crazy man. How the hell did I manage to stay away from her for so many years in the past?No.
