*LYCIA*So maybe I was wrong. The reason why Mom wasn’t worried wasn’t because she had been hiding her fears; it was because she had been working on it. So far, she had put ten tracker witches on Alora’s case to find her, and although they hadn’t been successful, she had been putting all her time and energy into bringing her out of whichever hold she had been hidden in.“It feels weird to be back here,” I commented from my spot on my bed, where I had been lying flat on my belly while Seff was seated on the sofa of my room, holding a cushion to his chest and taking in the room.We had decided to stay the night at the palace yesterday after the ceremony and had only returned back home just two minutes ago after having breakfast with Roz and freshened up.“Yeah, it does, but also kind of nostalgic and comfortable,” he said, picking at a stain on the wall of my lipstick form when I had once thrown it at him, and the stick had smeared red on the wall. “I can’t believe so much time has pass
"Give me some space and move as far away as you can," he said, motioning for us to stick to the walls and keep our distance."Are all magicians this strong?" Seff asked in my head. "I feel like every witch and wizard that I have seen so far are phenomenally strong.""No, I think it's just Lars who can get off a hospital bed and start to wield such strong and difficult magic like that," I said in slight awe at the power he held."Alright, I will start now. Don't try to intervene in between," he said, and then closing his eyes, he started chanting a spell in the old witches' language.Electricity crackled in the air around him as the clothes on his skin started to lift in the air from the waves of magic that he was sending out from him. Slowly, he was lifted off the floor, and just when we thought something would happen, he was plopped down to his feet, making him open his eyes and shake his head."Ah, I think I have become a little rusty not having used magic in so long. Don't worry, j
*LYCIA*"I can't believe you would be the first one to get married among all of us," Esme said, adjusting my veil so that it framed my face better."Hey, don't forget you were the one who wanted me to get into a serious relationship. I merely adhered to my best friend's request," I said, making her pout at me."Don't think that just because you made me your bridesmaid I will forgive you for keeping that secret about the spirit from me," she said, clicking her tongue in disapproval. "That isn't something you hide. You should always come to me first when something happens. I want to be there for you.""I've already apologized a million times for it. Please let it go for today," I groaned, her action reminding me of Reemus. The two were similar in that they both held a mean grudge.She grinned at my expression and then, facing forward, she said, "By the way, you look really sexy! Seff is going to lose his mind."Suddenly, there was a cough behind us, making her look embarrassedly at my d
(6 years later)*LYCIA*Blinking open my eyes I yawned and turned my head to the side to find that my husband and adorable mate was already staring at me.“Good morning,” I mumbled, making him kiss me.“Morning beautiful,” he said against my lips.“How long have you been staring at me, you creep?” I asked with a chuckle, realizing that it was still early in the morning.“Long enough to get me hard,” he said, swiftly turning us over so that I was now sitting above him as he clamped onto my thighs that were stretched out on his either side, with my crotch directly in line to his cock.“Seff!” I admonished him hitting his chest as I felt all sleep vanish from my mind with the straining hot dick I felt through the soft cotton of his boxers. The loose t-shirt I was wearing over my boy shorts moved out of the way leaving us touching directly save for our underwear.“What? I thought you promised that we would do something naughty today,” he said and I realized that he must have been looking
*LYCIA* There are days when I really hate my mother. “Absolutely not Lycia, I do not care that Travis just got his own pet Wolf for his birthday you are not getting one and that’s final,” she said conclusiveness evident in her voice. “Then what about a snake or a falcon, a kitten or a dog? Just anything would do! Please, please let me have one!” I tried compromising with the other options but knowing my mother she would say something along the lines that I wasn’t responsible enough to handle another life. “It would do you good if you started paying more attention in helping me manage the coven administration. You are to be the next queen if this goes on then you would ruin the Amoret name. When will you become responsible?” she sighed making me cringe and put my phone away from my ear to avoid hearing the rest of her speech that followed soon after. She wouldn’t let me have a pet but she would gladly let me handle numerous people’s lives in my hand. I am sure the latter was a bigg
*LYCIA*“Mate.”That was the first word he spoke while I stood frozen in place at the fear and catastrophe I had wrecked on myself.He looked confused and his golden eyes were vivacious as it assessed me like a predator. I had never seen a real Lycan in my life before. My mother had made sure that I never came in contact with one but I had read about them. About their golden eyes the color of the sun and just as deadly, closer to the eyes of a beast than humans and one that they only showed when they felt threatened and ready to attack.Was he going to kill me?Preparing my hand on my side I was read to blast him with a spell if he was to attack me when suddenly I saw his eyes change their color. The golden dissolved leaving behind the cool blue of the depths of an ocean. They were dark but brightened up soon after as in one gigantic jump almost like the leap of a wolf the man shouted, “Mate!”What the fuck!I recalled listening to him have said that just a minute ago as well but I ha
*LYCIA*Trying to gain control over myself I am about to pull him away from me when I heard my mother’s voice.“Lycia? Are you done with the potion that I asked you to make?” she asked making me realize that she was seconds away from barging into my room.The unknown lycan man perked up at my mother’s voice and standing up he said, “She must be your mother, I should greet her-”At his words panic took over me. With my mother’s footsteps approaching my door and this lovesick man inviting his own death and mine with him I could only think of one thing and twirling my hand in the air I clicked my fingers. Thankfully I was quick because just as a knock came and my mother opened the door the lycan turned into a dog.The fur that he had as a wolf remained still but smaller than his wolf’s size he looked more like a husky. There was confusion on his animalistic features at the sudden transformation and whimpering he looked back at me. With its tail dropping down he plodded to my legs and loo
*WOLFIE*‘Run!’Anger and fear gripped me.A voice laughed near my ears hovering close to my very heart. The sound was so chilling that it made me shiver trying to control the consistent speed and the will to keep my legs moving.‘I’ll protect you so just run!’ Someone called out to me. I could tell from his voice that he was equally shook but who was he? A terror surrounded my being as I sped past the trees, my paws scrunching on the tree leaves only revealing my location to the entity after me.I turned back to look once almost blinded by the light that came whirling towards me and jumping at the last moment and feeling it collide with my leg I howled in pain. My wolf form stronger and yet the pain seeped through my body, almost numbing my movements. Unable to do anything I thrashed midair and then went tumbling down into a deep pit.My consciousness was barely with me and with the air whooshing around me the far away cry of someone calling my name rung in my head.‘Seff!’Was that
