The Lycan's Mistress

CRYSTALI can hear her in the background. Her soft giggles- probably to mock the fact that she's in my husband's arms while he answers my call."I'm not gonna make it today," John sighs like he's exhausted and sick of my call. "I told you already, I still have loads of work to do."I stare at my ring on my finger. The beautiful ring that I've always admired doesn't bring a smile on my face anymore. The diamond rock is beautiful and I've always loved diamonds. I practically bought my own ring… his too."Uhm," I blink away from it, looking at the empty dinning table where it's just me and myself with a table set for two. I shouldn't even have bothered.The slight tug in my belly reminds me of why I even bothered. It was that time of the month again."I was thinking… since it's today… my rut," I lower my voice, feeling ashamed to even mention this over the phone."What's that?" I can imagine the scornful clueless look on his face. "Oh! That thing. Alpha's rut." I know he rolls his eyes.

CRYSTALI'm alright. I'm… okay. I am… in control.I repeat those words in my head till I'm standing before my mother's room door and finding it hard to breathe. My palm is sweaty and I think I'm having cold feet. I can't even-"Is that you, dear?" her voice booms like a flower blooming on a hill. It's soft, gentle and inviting. "I know it's you. Come on in. I've been… waiting." She sounds soft like she's being gentle with a fragile child.I don't blame her. I ran away once and I can do it again.I hear murmurs behind the door and one of the voices sends a tremor through me. That's… father. He's here too. For the first time in five years, I'll be seeing him and I… I swear I'm not ready for this.What the fuck am I doing here?"Crystal," I turn to the familiar voice from behind and hold Kirill's gaze. He's my father's beta. His grey hair has doubled and the wrinkles on his face makes me imagine what my father must look like now."Beta Kirill," good thing my voice doesn’t shake. "It's go

CRYSTAL"Isn't he quite the gentleman?" Mother swoons where she's seated on her bed with her hands cupping her cheeks. She's lucky Father isn't here to hear that!“You flatter too much, Luna,” Silver replies casually, stroking the back of my hand with his thumb.G-Gentleman? His hold on my hand is gentle and firm as well as the look in his eyes. It almost feels like he's watching me like a hawk.First thing first, please give me my hand back.Good. Now a little distance… Shit! My hand still feels his warmth and a current still runs through me. I can already feel the turmoil that's piling up for me.An Alpha's rut is no joke. There's a high increase in sexual appetite and we have little to no control over ourselves. It is just like an Omega in heat only this time, if it piles up for too long, it could lead to loss of consciousness at intervals and in a case where it has piled up for years, it could lead to a Coma and chances of waking up is…"Do you know he's also a Lycan?" Mother boast

SILVERAn hour ago.With my fingers intertwined, I rest my chin as I'm seated at the back seat of my Jeep in the parking lot. My eyes scan left and right as people come and go while I tap my feet endlessly.Where is she?Where has she gone now? How long can one phone call take?-She's speaking to her husband. Astro grumbles in my head as he paces frantically. The only thing keeping him sane is me and the only thing keeping me sane is her.The smell of her warm skin underneath all that heavy perfume with the faint smell of her rut that she tried to erase.She has no idea that she can't hide anything from me. The minute I stepped out the door after her, I smelled it.My mate is experiencing her rut somewhere with her husband and that thought alone is enough to make me go nuts!"S-Sir, is there anything you'd like while we wait?" one of my guards interrupts, stuttering his words like a puppy and I'm snapping my eyes to him immediately.He jerks under my gaze but tries to keep his face pl

CRYSTAL"Your eyes are all swollen," John says as he cups my face and wipes my tears with his thumb. "Why the tears, hmm?" he sighed heavily. "After I stormed out yesterday, I realised I was such a fool. You've been waiting diligently for me, wanting me all this time and I just walked out. I hope you can forgive me, love." his eyes are sad and he rests his forehead on mine."I was so worried when I got back after a few minutes and you were already fast asleep. I called a doctor but he's human so I-""You called a doctor? Which doctor?" I haven't had another doctor touch me in all my life. If my family gets a hold of that one, I'm doomed. "D-Did he draw my blood? What tests did he do?"John doesn't look half as worried as I do. He's the one who's possibly going to die if word gets out."No. He just checked your pulse, that's all," he pouts as I heave a sigh. "Is something wrong?"I must've acted too worried and scared for him to look at me with such suspicion, "N-Nothing at all," I lean
