Forbidden love

Chapter 4: forbidden love

Skylar froze in fear as she looked at the wolf. It was unlike any wolf she had ever seen before. Its fur was a deep shade of black, and its eyes glowed an eerie shade of red. She could see that it was not a regular wolf.

She was surprised by the transformation although it wasn't a full moon. The wolf growled menacingly, its eyes fixed on Skylar.

Skylar froze, her heart pounding in her chest. She tried to turn back and run away, but before she could, the wolf jumped on her, pinning her to the ground with a snarl.

"Who are you?" Skylar gasped, struggling to free herself.

The wolf leaned in close, his hot breath on her face. "Stay away from Asher," he growled. "If I see you with him again, I'll kill you both."

Skylar's eyes widened in shock. How did he know about her relationship with Asher? And why was he so determined to keep them apart? How did he transform when we're not on a full moon?

After the lycan disappeared into the forest, Skylar stumbled back to her apartment, her mind racing with questions. She knew she had to tell someone, but who could she trust?

As soon as she walked in the door, her best friend Lily knew something was wrong. "Skylar, what happened? You look like you've seen a ghost." 

Skylar turned around, her eyes wide with fear. Then she took a deep breath and told.

"Lily, I just had the craziest encounter in the park. I was attacked by a weird wolf."

Lily's eyes widened in shock. "A weird wolf? There is not even a full moon . Are you okay?"

Skylar nodded, still trying to catch her breath. "Yeah, I'm fine. I know what I saw, damn it !" She growled before sitting down.

"What ? Tell me ! You're starting to scare me now" she said scared, sitting in turn next to Skylar.

Skylar regained her composure and continued.

"There is something I must confess to you. But first, promise me to keep it a secret." Skylar said.

"Okay, I promise, but you're really scaring me there." She said scared.

"I've been seeing a lycan. I think I told you about a guy I had met one evening when I got home from work. It is him. His name is Asher. In fact the weird wolf that attacked me threatened to kill us both if he saw us together again." Skylar confessed.

"Wait a bit. We all know that lycans only exist in legends."

"Everything I told you is true. Believe me." 

Lily's jaw dropped. "You're dating a lycan? Skylar, that's insane!"

Skylar nodded, tears streaming down her face. "I know, but I can't help how I feel. I love Asher, and I'm not going to let anyone stand in the way of that."

"If that's your last word, then I really can't help it. But know that your relationship will never have my approval." Lily Finished curtly.

Afterwards, Skylar decided to avoid Asher to protect him; she knew that the wolf who had threatened her continued to watch her and feared that he would carry out his threat.

But it only took a few days to that she bumped into Asher at a street corner on her way to the restaurant where she worked. Asher pulled her by the hand and before she had time to realize it was him, he was kissing her and she couldn't resist for a moment before pushing him away.

"Are you crazy? if anyone sees us. we are dead." She said in fear, her gaze wandering around the surrounding buildings.

"I missed you very much. and I know you missed me too. But I feel like you've been avoiding me for a while. You no longer answer my calls. What is going on?" Asher asked with concern.

"Nothing." Skylar replied, trying to hide her fear. "I just needed a break. I wanted to know where my life was going."

"By kissing you, I understood that it is with you that I feel good. I want to be with you."

"Me too. But if you want us to continue seeing each other, it will now be out of sight."

Skylar and Asher continued to see each other in secret, their love for each other grew stronger with each passing day.

one day, they let their guard down and acted recklessly.

They had been walking in the woods, enjoying each other's company, when suddenly they were ambushed by a group of lycans. The lycans were members of Asher's pack. The "Darkfire".

When Asher saw them, he pulled Skylar behind him, "You know who I am, and you dare attack me?" he growled.

They didn't move or seem to want to retreat. so he transformed and then they attacked him.

In the scuffle that ensued, unable to defend against the large number of lycans while protecting Skylar, Asher was badly injured, and Skylar was taken captive. She was blindfolded, chained hands and feet. 

She was also given an iron collar to prevent any transformation into a werewolf, and taken far away to an underground dungeon, where she was held captive.

After a few hours, she was taken from the dungeon.

Finally, the blindfold was removed, and Skylar found herself in a room filled with important lycans and the Lycan king facing her seated on his throne.

His eyes blazed with anger as he looked at her.

He was imposing and formidable in his physical appearance. When he stood , he has an impressive height of over seven feet tall, towering over most of his subjects. His broad shoulders and muscular build testified to his strength and agility, while his chiseled features and piercing blue eyes exuded an air of authority and power.

The lycan king's thick, shaggy hair cascaded down his back in wild, untamed waves, framing his rugged face and adding to his fierce, animalistic appearance. His skin was weathered and tanned from years spent in the harsh wilderness, and his hands were calloused and scarred from countless battles.

" Dirty werewolf vermin! How dare you seduce Asher?" He asked in a deep and imposing voice.

Skylar felt a surge of anger. "I didn't seduce Asher," she said firmly. "We fell in love. We didn't mean to betray you."

The lycan king snorted then he leapt from his throne and hit Skylar with a sharp and hard blow.. "Do you think that makes it better? He has broken the law, and you have aided and abetted him. You are both guilty of treason. By the way, never raise your head again and never answer me again when I talk to you, insignificant being."

When he slapped her, her head waltzed back threatening to tear herself off on shock, one of her teeth jumped out of her bloody mouth. 

"Did you understand me? " He asked in an authoritative tone.

She gently shook her head sounded .

Skylar's heart sank. She had known that their relationship was frowned upon, but she hadn't realized the extent of the danger they were in. She looked around the hall, hoping to find a way out, but there was no escape.

It was then that the lycan king standing in front of her dropped the bombshell. "You should know that Asher is not just any lycan. He is my son, the heir to the throne. Your relationship with him is a betrayal of the highest order."

Skylar's eyes widened in shock. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Asher, the man she loved, was the prince of the lycan pack. It was a stunning revelation.

"I had no idea," she whispered. "I never would have..."

The lycan king cut her off. "It is too late for apologies. You have both broken the law, and you must be punished."

Skylar's heart sank even further. She had no idea what kind of punishment the king had in mind, but she knew it couldn't be good.

Meanwhile, Asher was lying in a bed in the pack's infirmary, barely conscious. His mother, the queen, was by his side, her eyes filled with tears.
