Lahat ng Kabanata ng Lycan and His Lover: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

Roseanne is crying hard, lamenting the life she had once lived. Alexei...her love Alexei... All her life, she has been treated like dirt. Humans are the target of all kinds of supernatural creatures. Whether werewolves or vampires, it did not matter. They hate humans and even the low level omegas can stomp on them. Her lips break into a small smile as she recalls her childhood. Things were simpler then. At that time, she was living with her father in a small village in the hills. Her mother died in childbirth and her father had hidden himself in that village out of fear. The war was over but the hunt for humans like them was still going on. But one day, a messenger came and they were forced to move to the Capital of Ezealyra. She was only six years old when she moved to Vinesgrad, the capital, with her father Mikhael. At that time, her father was summoned by the previous Emperor Nikolai Vissarion and his wife Alexa. They had heard of his abilities and

“Rosie!” Alexei is calling her. “Where are you?”He is looking for her in the vast garden behind the palace. It is a bright summer afternoon. The sun is shining in the sky, showering the lands with its golden glory. Colorful flowers are blooming in the Emperor’s garden, beautiful and picturesque. The pond is sparkling like tiny diamonds and the warm water is soothing to touch. The neatly trimmed garden is glowing under the summer sun, amplifying the beauty of the gigantic castle which surrounds it. Long stone towers reach high as if touching the sky. Set across acres of land, the palace stretched throughout the highest mountain. It looks down on the towns below like a godly creature, its towers twinkling. The lively castle is the pride of Ezealyra, an astounding architecture which houses the Royal Family of Visserion.

As the carriage keeps on venturing deeper into the Frosty Forest, a chilly mist settles around it. Everywhere Roseanne looks, she only sees white fog which is gradually shrouding them in its arms as if like a possessive lover. She can make out the dark silhouettes of the tall trees in the forest but that is all. There are no animals, no sounds and no life in this strange forest. She never visited the forest before but she has heard many stories about it. Humans do not dare to step into it after dark because all the supernatural creatures roam around this place at night, free to do whatever they want. If an unfortunate human strays into the path of a rogue wolf, they may be assaulted or worse, killed. There are stories of women being forcibly taken away by the rogues or even vampires.Vampires have been hiding in the shadows ever since the Great War ended.

Her eyes widened in awe. The first rays of the sun are falling on the land, slowly illuminating the dark sky. As they float along the river, several balls of tiny blue lights emerge from the grounds. The little balls mode in random motion, colluding against each other but floating merrily in the air. Everywhere Roseanne looks, the balls follow her gaze. They are playful and with minds of their own. One of them comes close to her as if to study the blonde haired maiden out of curiosity. Roseanne gasps.“Fairies,” she realizes in wonder. The fairy near her is a tiny little doll-like creature with delicate features of a small girl. It watches her with curiosity and then smiles widely.Beside her, Dmitri is lazily watching his mate. She might be reserved but her eyes lit up with glee when she saw the b

The boat is anchored at the foot of Mount Evastus. Roseanne cannot help but look up at the mountain in front of her and she gulps. Evastus is the tallest mountain in the land. Situated in the no man’s land, Evastus separates Sloria from Ezealyra and is known to be a highly dangerous place. There are not many creatures lurking there but the mountain has a tumultuous weather and avalanches are common. The snow capped mountain reaches till the sky, disappearing into the clouds. A frosty chill lingers in the air, making Roseanne feel very cold.The Duke’s soldiers are waiting for them at the foot of the mountain and some of them are carrying spare clothes. Dmitri had sent a message to them earlier via mind link to prepare clothes for Roseanne. The soldiers are standing there obediently, waiting for their leader to arrive.
