Adonis’s POV

Selene’s being here was a complication.

The last thing I needed was more complications.

Already I had to deal with the big complication that was Vee and the fact that I had just made a big speech about how every half breed was an enemy and would be killed with no exceptions, then I went ahead to propose marriage to a half breed.

Now I also had to deal with the Vico problem before this all spirals out of control any more than it already has. If this Vico problem is not nipped now, people would begin to see me as weak and that would lead to even more attacks.

With all this happening all at once I can’t also deal with Selene hovering over me.

What was she doing here?

Selene was not supposed to be here till next week. It would have given me more time to prepare.

“Is that anyway to greet your fiancée?” she asked, feigning annoyance.

“I was just surprised to see you, that's all,” I said and started picking out clothes to wear.

Selene’s slender arms snaked around my wais

  • The Lycan King's Game    40 – The Handsome Stranger

    Vee’s POVI munched on my toast quietly, looking out the window at intervals for any sign of Nena. She had been gone since noon, yesterday. I was getting worried. It reminds me of nights when Vera would disappear without a word, and I would be up all night worrying my ass off where she could possibly be.Vera. I hope she’s okay. I lost my phone so I had no means of contacting her. Maybe when Nena returns I could borrow her phone and call Vera.I glanced out the window and there she was, Nena, mumbling to herself. She looked upset, and she looked hilarious in those clothes.What happened to the clothes she had on yesterday?“Should you be out of bed?” was the first thing Nena said to me as soon as she entered the house.“I was hungry. Had to make breakfast.”She gave me an apologetic look. “Sorry I wasn’t here to make you breakfast. I got caught up yesterday.”“I can take care of myself,” I smiled, but I had to admit it felt nice to be taken care of for a change. “Yours is in t

  • The Lycan King's Game    39 – Pancakes, Bacon and eggs

    Fang’s POVI watched as her chest rose and fell in deep slumber. Nena looked completely drained, with her skin paler than anything I have ever seen. First time transformation was draining and the most painful thing that anyone could ever feel, with all the bones in your body breaking, expanding and rearranging itself. It felt like been torn open from the inside out. I had not just experienced it, I have seen hundreds of young soldiers transform for the first time and I have also assisted Kene in training them and helping them control their beast. So I can say with certainty that this was her first transformation. The question is, why now?I adjusted uncomfortable in the couch. After the kind of day I had, I deserved to be in my bed right now. But instead, I have to sit in the couch and watch over Nena as she slept in my bed. There was a chance her wolf might manifest again, especially since Nena does not know how to control it yet.I sighed as I pushed myself to my feet and sa

  • The Lycan King's Game    38 – Blood thirst

    Nena’s POVMy wolf was calling for blood. Fang’s blood.She wanted revenge for how he had hurt us. She had felt our pain all those years ago, she had felt the wolf bond been forcefully ripped apart by the one man that was supposed to protect us and preserve our sacred bond. As much as Fang had left me broken and alone, I did not want to fight him, I most certainly did not want to spill his blood.But my wolf was in control. She was too strong. I couldn’t stop her or morph back into my human form. Maybe if Fang remained inside his house, he just might be safe….He stepped out.With alert eyes darting around, Fang, stood in the doorway of his house. His eyes found me almost immediately—wide, startled—but it only lasted a second.Then my wolf lunged.A roar ripped from my chest as we charged, the earth shaking beneath each thunderous paw. I could see his lips move, maybe a curse, maybe my name, but I didn’t care.Not me.Her.My wolf.She struck where his heart should have

  • The Lycan King's Game    37 – Awakening

    Nena’s POVThe cave was cold, despite the flames that danced in the iron bowls lining the walls. The firelight flickered across the Helga’s face—her eyes were closed, her lips murmuring a chant older than memory, the kind that made the air feel too heavy to breathe.I knelt before her, naked, bare feet pressed against the rough stone, knees bruised from the hard ground. My fingers trembled in my lap, though I tried to still them. The copper tang of dried blood lingered in my mouth from the offering. My offering.This was a choice I made, then why was I feeling so scared.Tonight, I would either become who I was meant to be or die trying. Whichever way it pans out, I will accept it as the will of the goddess.The chant stop. I glanced up to find Helga staring down at me, worried lines framing her face. “It’s not to late to change your mind yet, Nena.”As tempting as that sounded, I had to do this. It was the only way I would be strong enough to defeat my enemies. “I want this.”

  • The Lycan King's Game    36 - No limp

    Adonis’s POV “Your leaving?” “I am.” “I thought you would want to watch till the end,” he said, a hint of disappointment in his tone. “I have something important to deal with,” I said and began walking away. Kene followed behind me. “Your highness, I want to be part of the team going south to investigate the wolf pack." I paused, eyeing him from the corner of my eyes. I haven’t ev

  • The Lycan King's Game    35 - The garden

    Nena’s POV The strange woman still hadn’t woken up. After I brought her home yesterday, I tried to reach Helga. I had even gone by her place, but it had been locked. I guess it had something to do with the unbound incident. I had to invite Lydia, a nurse and a former close friend of Ezra, to take a look. Lydia had tended to the woman’s wounds and injected her with some antibiotics and painkillers since her wounds weren’t healing on its own. It wasn’t unusual for Lycan’s to be unable to heal themselves. Only manifested Lycan’s could heal on their own, Lycan’s who could transform. The binding spell on me, meant that I could never manifest, hence I could not heal on my own. I had hoped that the woman would wake up before the end of the day, to at least tell me who she was and how to reach out to her family. Besides, I don’t exactly know how to take care of people. Heck, I have never had to take care of anyone or anything in my life, just my garden. She would be in better
