Chapter 42Author’s POVThe day for the battle between Casper and Thane finally came.It was a dull bright cloudy morning.In Thane’s settlement, he gathered his combatants.They arrived on the departing scene chanting war song and galvanizing their weapons.They were dressed in fur and leathered attire, a black mark made with paint running across their face.An unholy fervor of battle was within the air. The glints of armor, unsheathing of swords where all an indication of the battle fever that hung in the air.The smell of the fresh, damp soil mingles with the metallic tang of battle-ready gear.There was Kane, a hardened warrior shifting from soldier to soldier, and chanting more war songs to boost their morale.His rigid muscles ripple under the skin of his shirt indicating the peaks of his battle-readiness. There was also Thorfin. His stocky frame was clenched around a reinforced wooden battle-ax demonstrating that he is warmed up as well.And there were the other warriors, al
Chapter 43.Thane.Our plan was unfolding quite well.From my vantage point at the top of the hill, I could see Casper and his army charging on, with no knowledge of the trap that awaited them.This location was the perfect spot for an ambush, and it was exactly what we needed to turn the tide in our favor.Thanks to Thorfin’s extraordinary idea.We didn’t go to the battle scene with all of our warriors.We had deliberately kept our forces divided, having some of the warriors, perched at the top of this hill with arrows and bows drawn.The others that went to battle with me have been initially informed to pretend to retreat on my command.There were two opposite hills and a narrow path along.The path itself was a clever deception, seeming to offer a route forward.But it was actually leading to a dead end, and you won’t realize it until you’re in it.They surged forward ignorantly, and I held up my hand waiting for the perfect moment to let it down for the universal sign of fire.I w
Chapter 45Author’s POV.Casper and Thane’s gaze fixed upon each other, eyes blazing with fury.In Casper’s hands was a half-empty bottle containing a dark liquid.It was actually a potion, one that he got from Ozark’s witch, to enhance his powers.After, Casper realized he was going on a battle with his brother, he decided to patronize Ozark.The news of Ozark and his witch had spread wildly through many of the werewolf clan, most of whom were trying their best to be on his good picture.Ozark was one of them.Although he didn’t believe the potency of the potion until worse came to worse.He’d thought of taking it when Thane challenged him on a one on one duel, but the fear of embarrassing himself in front of his army didn’t let him.Thane doesn’t seem to notice the bottle on Casper’s hands as he continued to breath hard, angry breaths.“Let’s do this, without the armor and our werewolf ability,” Casper said stepping forward.Even though he could feel the invigorating effect of the p
Chapter 46Author’s POVThe joyous chant of freedom in the Moon black clan lasted for days.They celebrated their new Alpha, Thane, and their liberation from the former tyrant Alpha Casper.As per was the custom of a victorious battle, Casper’s head was spiked up for all to see.A gruesome yet triumphant spectacle.His tongue was shot out mocking the world even in death.Thane was named the new Alpha and a celebration ensued.He was called the hero of their time.A certain kind of peace and happiness was bestowed upon the clan.Thane has always been their choice for a ruler, but no one could go against Casper.The few that did, had their heads on a spike as punishment.It made the clan members happy that karma had taken it’s course.Despite the whole celebration frenzy, Thane was worried about one thing, his mate.The outcome of the war she had embarked upon wasn’t communicated to him yet, even though he sent an emissary two days ago.The uncertainty of Lyra’s well being gnawed at him
Chapter 47Thane.Moment after the meeting with the council members, Kane and Thorfin came to me with a distressed news.“She’s a bag of trouble, I think she should be locked up before she causes any more trouble,” said Kane with a low and urgent tone as we stepped out of my chambers.The air outside was cold and crisp.The evening breeze blew softly from the eastern horizon spreading warmth across the environment.The setting sun cast a pale yellow glow adding to the aesthetic of the evening.As we walked, I romanticized over the weather, thinking of Lyra.“Lisa has gone out of control, I’m telling you, we need to curtail her,” I hear Kane say again, jolting me out of my reverie.“I’ll need to speak with her first, she can’t be that hard to control,” I remarked.“I’m guessing she didn’t take the news of her father been removed from his position as head of finance so well.She’s been acting out since.She killed a guard who tried to stop her from running away last night,” Thorfin adde
Chapter 48Thane.The knife fell from Lisa’s hand clattering to the ground and breaking the silence in the room.Thorfin quickly dashed and picked the knife from the floor.Lisa burst into tears.She cried profusely, muttering incoherent words to herself.I went closer and gently took the baby from her.She showed no resistance.I took a glance at her and despite her cantankerous attitude, felt pity for her.She was mourning her lost love.Kane took hold of her and gently dragged her towards the door.She’ll need to cool down in isolation for the main time.The child in my arms had quieted down and his almond green little round eyes gazed at me curiously.He was indeed a tiny adorable thing, and I couldn’t help but feel a surge of paternal affection towards him.I gently rocked him forth and back trying to sooth any more fears he had picked up from our outburst.The wet nurse soon approached me with a smile.“Alpha Thane, shall I take the young master from you, I’ll make sure he is we
Chapter 49Thane.Ozark was finally defeated and I couldn’t be any happier.Lyra told me a part of the reason they were victorious was because of Elara the witch.“Poor girl, she was faced with the fate of killing her own sister,” Lyra remarked.“What happened to Ozark in the end?” I asked.“He’s dead, killed by my own sword.”“So who rules the tribe now?” I questioned.“The former Alpha had a son that was banished from the land.Majority of the villagers accepted that he be their new leader, so he was named the new Alpha.”Lyra leaned closer, her bosom pressing against my chest.“And I hear you have been so victorious here, the villagers continue to sing your name,” she said in an almost whisper, a half smile spreading across her face.“Well, it wasn’t just my glory.I have my warriors to thank for that.”“Been humble now, aren’t we?”Her soft smile became more prominent.“Alpha Thane,” she whispered in a soft seductive voice.I chuckled.My lips wandered over her jaw, and down her t
Chapter 50Lyra.Thane stood up and undid his pants. He tugged them and his inner shorts down exposing his throbbing manhood.He grabbed my legs and lifted one of them up over his hip, giving him enough of an angle to fuck me while standing up.I moaned wildly as I felt his rod penetrate me for the first time.His cock throbbed violently as he pumped into me.My eyes rolled back in my head as he kissed my lips passionately again, sucking on my tongue.His wandering hands found my nipples and he squeezed them.I felt a painful sensation surging through me like an electric shock.I put my hands back against a wall as he continued to ram me, sending shock waves up my spine with each thrust.I could feel his rod milking by my tight womanhood.Thane’s moan sounded like music to my ears.“I feel like I’m going to cum,” he whispered in my ear.“Wait!” I exclaimed.He stopped thrusting and pulled out.I got down on my knees and started stroking his shaft aggressively.I began by sucking on th
Chapter 61Fifteen years ago.Somewhere across the south and east region.Jamica."You have to run! Run Jamica and never look back," My foster mother said, while I held on tightly to her hands.She was badly wounded on the abdomen and blood dripped down freely."No mum, I can't leave you, we can still make it together," I said with teary eyes.She has been wounded so badly that she could no longer shape shift again.And it was practically useless because, we've been rounded up by so many wolf's.Another wolf howl from the distance made my body shriek."No Jamica, please get out of here now!" My mother said pushing me off."I'll distract them and buy you time to run."I stared at my mother knowing that if I left I would never see her again."Mom..." I said still holding her hands and crying."Go please, go," She pushed me away.There was loud thumping and rustling of bushes.I ran off, without looking back.With my minimal werewolf ability, I could sense the arrival of some wolves.Afte
The following morning, I could see how much Logan fought to pretend he wasn't still upset over our last conversation concerning making a family. And I played along because frankly, I didn't have the strength to start another fight. I stepped into the bathroom to brush my teeth, my cellphone in hand. As I stood over the wash basin, brush pushed into my cheek, I went through my music list. Apparently listening to songs is the only thing I could do right now. Last night I discovered Logan had deleted all my social media apps and browsers. I didn't expect him to give back my phone and not expect me to try to reach anyone through my Facebook, even though I barely had any friends. I looked over my shoulder towards the door and listened for Logan's presence in the room. He'd stepped out a minute ago. When I couldn't detect any movements, I quickly went to my dial and tried calling Maddy. It doesn't ring. It just stops. It was probably the network. I set the phone down next to the si
Lyra.I met with both of my children in the clan’s open field where they had just finished with their training.I chuckled at Nolan’s ragged breathing.He was clearly exhausted from the training, Kieran not so much.Even if he was, his determination and characteristics machismo wouldn’t let him show it.Ser Barron who was just about to leave after training them greeted me politely.“How’s their training coming up?” I asked.“Oh, very well.They are both a force to be reckoned with.Their determination and strength is admirable.”I smiled, feeling a sense of satisfaction.“Good workout, huh? Kiddo, I think you are developing some abs too.” I teased Nolan playfully running my hand through his hair.I was initially most concerned about him but Nolan's grin told me that he was getting better as well. A warm smile spread on my face as I looked back at Ser Barron. “Thank you for pushing them to their limits. I owe you one.” He smiled and bid us farewell.When the three of us began to wal
Lyra.I woke up with a start, my entire body trembling like it has just been plunged through an electric field.I had the dream again!It’s the same dream that I’ve repeatedly been having for couple of days now.An erotica with Thane.In the dream everything felt real…too real to be tagged a dream.I got a sleep potion from Elara yesterday, but I’m guessing, not everything can be cured supernaturally.Beads of sweat formed in my forehead and I raised my hand to wipe it off.Saying that I missed Thane was an understatement, I ached for him with a desperation that left me breathless.The dreams were a cruel reminder of what I could not have.At least at the moment.Throwing off the covers and getting out of bed, I tried to shake off the lingering emotions.The cool morning air hit my skin, but it did nothing to calm the fire that was burning within my skin.I suddenly felt a throb in between my legs.I wa still aroused from the dream.Trying to ignore my feelings, I gently walked toward
Chapter 57Thane.The following day, I had gone to see my nephew and was heading back.I decided to make a quick stop at the training ground since I heard training would begin early.The warriors were just gearing up with underlying eagerness.After their preparation, I stood back and watched for a moment before stepping forward.I challenged the strongest of them to a duel.Beating them wasn’t so hard. I expressed my displeasure and put a prize on anyone that could beat me.Thorfin stepped out boldly, his eyes glistening with determination.Our swords clashed together as we sparred.I swung my sword at Thorfin’s head but he ducked low and swiped up towards my chin.I leaned out of the way trying to kick him.Even though he was braced with his shield, he couldn’t stop the full power of my kick.He was sent tumbling.“Not good, not good,” I screamed.“If you’re going to fight like those, then you might as well just get ready to get killed.Thorfin stood up holding his shield up again.
Chapter 56Thane.“Lyra,” I called out into the darkness of my room.There were litted candles around the bed.The curtains were pulled over the windows to shove out daylight.The flickering light cast shadows over the wall and the drawn curtains enveloped me in a warm golden glow.The air was drenched with heavy anticipation and romanticism.A faint rustling caught my attention and I as I turned to check it out, somebody jumped on me from behind.With our two bodies twisting around, I found myself lying on top of Lyra on my bed.“Now what were you trying to do pumpkin?”I tease her, all the while running my nose along her neck.I could feel a smirk forming on my lips.A similar, yet lustful smirk is mirrored on Lyra’s gorgeous face.“Just missed my man, that is all,” she whispered causing me to match her lust at hearing her call me, my man.Soon, we find ourselves devouring each other, lips in a heated kiss, all the while I grind my hips along with my hardened cock against her sweete
Chapter 55Lyra.I whipped my horse, more from my pent up frustration than for the need for it to move faster.The horse neighed and galloped along the woods.My men, also on their horses followed closely behind.We were visiting the Dark Harem clan today as proposed.“This would be the dawn of a new era,” I smirked angrily as I recalled the high septon’s words.I know he meant good for the realm, but his constant budging was beginning to irk me.More times than I can count, I’ve asked myself if I was making the right decision.Everybody seem to be happy with the new peaceful coexistence with the Dark Harem clan.The long time feud between us was looking forward to an end and that means we can finally form an alliance and make progress.But I’ve found out in a bitter way, the cost of this alliance.I’ve lost Thane…my mate.The only man I’ve ever fallen in love with.For a better part of the time after I arrived from his clan, I resorted to blaming him for his lack of patience and unde
Chapter 54Lyra.I was back in my clan and laden with a heavy heart. Nothing of late made sense. Thoughts of Thane was always the first in my mind when I wake awake and the last thing in my mind before I fell asleep. Sleeping no longer offered the comfort and peace that it did before.As I sat in my throne, I could barely hear anything.More than twice I’ve been called to attention.I was supposed to be mediating on some conflict issues in the clan that was tabled before me.I dismissed most of them but the last case caught my interest.A man and a woman fighting for the custody of their son.The young woman who seemed to have been aged with stress spoke first.“My boy here has been with me since I gave birth to him.I and his father have not been together for seven years.”I looked over yo the man who was regarded as the father.He was young as well.I concluded it was probably early love for both of them.“He went off with another woman,” she continued.Or it was definitely not lo
Chapter 53Thane.The beautiful crescent moon shone like silvery claw and gave some dimming lights through the partly opened windows. The wind clattered on the roof giving the room a cozy feeling. The wind was getting heavier and it was so obvious there would be some rain poor soon enough.I rolled from one side of the bed to the other. I couldn't sleep.In the past as a young adult, I’ve battled with the lack of sleep…a medical condition was what our physician termed it.I took potions upon potions until it got better, but right now I knew what was happening to me wasn’t a medical condition.Lyra’s abrupt rejection of my marriage proposal lingered heavy in my heart, keeping my eyes clear off sleep.No matter how much I tried to be understanding, it made no sense.My heart is broken.Shattered by the one person I’ve ever given it to.As I laid on my bed, my gaze was fixed on the unsettling shapes that the moonlight painted on my ceiling. Accompanied by the sound of the wind, the roof
