The Lycan King's Healer #Chapter 1: A Drugged Prince
Our affections were cold, but our bed was on fire.Through the dizzying, sweaty haze of sex, I couldn’t deny the slight confusion that surfaced. As the glorious, handsome third lycan prince grasped me so tight I felt he may shatter my bones out of passion, I tried to veil my surprise.Aldrich, my newly appointed husband, was a dominant, yet gentle lover; his grip was fierce, but his eyes were soft, the former iciness melting into warm pools as they met mine. I was not expecting our wedding union to be warm—my only predictions contained emotionless, dead eyed glances and no kissing, only adhering to the elders’ prophecy and not actual passion. After all, the heartbroken royal would surely not love me.He was forced to marry an average female wolf; he had every right to accept the marriage, but refuse me. That did not happen.Tonight we were not strangers, we were fevered lovers.Perhaps that is what ignited the fire, I thought to myself as I shuddered at his heavy, hot breaths in my ea
The Lycan King's Healer #Chapter 2: Transformation
Soon, I would become just another cobweb upon the floor.My body was barren of a soul, for it felt like I floated slightly above my carcass, my ghost lingering just long enough to know I was dead. Death is a funny thing like that; with some deaths, like executions or freak accidents, some people are killed before they even know it. But gradual death, the kind that slowly envelopes you with starvation and disease; it lets you know every detail.I knew my body lay emaciated on the ground, twisted and grotesque. Skin hanging off the bone, so thin that there would be no meat for the rodents to feast on. Dwindling, seemingly melting. Empty, devoid of my own life. The only thing left was the other living being inside of me; the pup, my kin that I would never meet.Maybe if I was not pregnant, I would have let myself float away, out of this cottage and this pained body and into the sky. Into bliss away from this cruel world where I have been tricked and fated into a torturous death. There wo
The Lycan King's Healer #Chapter 3: Opening a Jail Cell
“Sir! Save me, please!” the boy cried when he saw me, squinting through the sun to look up at me.I immediately saw the admiration and respect in his green eyes, the same I noticed in every young boy when they first saw me.He wiggled in the small space, the sweat from his temple mixing with the tears on his dirty face, looking up at me expectedly. His dirty blonde hair fell in his face, and he was puffing it away in panic as he struggled. He resembled a lost puppy.A chuckle escaped me, and I forgot the sound of my own laughter before that.There was no room for laughter in war, not even with my pack members in the little moments of silence we shared between battles. In the former years, it was nothing but blood and violence, and slaughter soon replaced any shred of laughter. I soon forgot what the feeling of a smile felt like; the feeling of your lips spreading to the edges of my face.The delight of helping a little boy from a hole and not a wounded soldier from my pack was almost t
The Lycan King's Healer #Chapter 4: A Jail Cell full of Flowers
After four years, the cottage door was finally opened.I stepped over the threshold cautiously, listening to the distant argument between the woman and the child. The voices, however, swiftly faded to the background as I looked around, awe overcoming me.This was not the abandoned cottage I had once sent my new wife into; it was beautiful.Blooming, blushing flowers decorated the space, in vases and pots and vines neatly hanging from the ceiling. There was even a wooden garden swing, its handles enveloped in climbing rose vines. I stepped over a flowerbed of paeonia, confusion sweeping through me. There was puzzlement evident on the servants’ faces; they clearly did not recognize the residence either. Flower vines even framed the windows and traveled up the walls, resulting in hanging canopies of pastel petals from the ceiling.The beauty of the cottage was not the only surprise. The woman that stood in front of the boy was more beautiful than all of the flowerbeds and roses combined.
The Lycan King's Healer #Chapter 5: Poison Ivy
Aldrich “You said your father is dead!” I exclaimed to the boy. He shrugged, sinking away.Cathy whipped her head around to me, a dangerous warning in her eyes. She then looked down to Theo. “I told you not to talk to strangers,” she reprimanded him coldly.“Mommy, I was wrong,” he murmured, “please don’t be angry.”This was a different child than the one I found hanging from the hole, rebellion and panic on his face. This was a boy who truly adored his mother, guilt replacing that rebellion.She knew that. I watched her delicately run her fingers through the boy’s hair, the same hair as mine. He was still dirty, and she was brushing away fragments of the wall from his scalp.“It is none of your business who his father is,” Cathy growled, weaving her fingers in his hair, “do not yell at my son.”“Tell me, which bastard is the child’s father then, if he’s not mine? How dare you have sex with another man!” I demanded, anger fully encompassing my voice. I couldn’t contain it, not even i
The Lycan King's Healer #Chapter 6: A Banquet without a Hero
I told myself it was mere curiosity that led me back to the cottage that night.Weaving through the moonlit forest, unseen and hidden within a mask, I nearly convinced myself of this. I was only going because of my hungry curiosity and natural hatred for the unknown. Us animals are curious creatures, and we do not tolerate questioning very well.“A prince must know everything about his people,” I added out loud as I side-stepped a pine tree and onto the familiar dirt path, nodding in agreeance with myself. “Yes, that is it.”However, the small, rational part of me knew that it was because of how my heart felt staring at the boy, and the hatred on Cathy’s beautiful face.I easily found the cottage next to the large willow tree. It was warmly glowing through the darkness. I didn’t have much of a plan, but my stealthy nature did not need one. I was a famous war general whose footsteps were more silent than the fluttering wings of a fly.I stared at the cottage for a moment before approac
The Lycan King's Healer #Chapter 7: Saving the Villain
Cathy“Aldrich?!” I yelled out as he relinquished, a mass of muscle collapsing heavily to the ground.I watched in horror as the noble prince, war general, and experienced soldier fell unconscious on my floor. He had spent most of his adult life in war, probably combatting the most notorious generals and warriors, but passed out in my living room onto my daisies.“Shit,” I muttered as I rushed over to him. He inflicted wounds during the battle, but they were shallow—he was able to kill all three of them within a minute. But something weakened him, something worse than shallow gashes. Something I was not aware of.As my brain reeled over what it could be, I realized I was afraid of him dying.Theo skittered over and helped me move Aldrich, who morphed into his human form. We managed to drag him then lift him onto my bed, not caring that his blood stained my sheets. I flinched at the familiar sight of him in bed and tried to forget the last time I saw him in this state.This made me hes
The Lycan King's Healer #Chapter 8: The Luna Queen
Aldrich“It was Cathy who healed my wounds?”When I woke up in my chambers, I was more surprised to learn this than the act of waking up somewhere completely different than I fainted. Alan, a staple of my entourage, nodded. He was my second hand man, and although as general I did not have time for friends, I would call him the closest thing I had to one.“Yes, we found you outside her cottage. I have to say, her dressing skill is very professional,” he drawled, an amused look on his face. I could see the question in his eyes about why I was there. I didn’t care to entertain that yet.“Alan, go find out more information about the assassins. I also want to know what my wife has been doing for the past four years.” I waved him away.He saluted me before following my orders, exiting the room with a chuckle.I was left contemplating how Cathy managed it. Military medical staff come from the healer clan and generally needed to study in medical school from childhood. Only after a long period
