THE LYCAN CITY. PEASANT MARKET.VALERIEMy heart pounded harder than a drum as I run I felt like it would break out of my ribs. The harsh sounds of ferocious wolves boomed as I dash through the markets. I barely felt the pain in my injured foot and when I take the next step I don’t allow my legs to stay on the ground for long before taking the next.Mrs Jahns call had been the perfect distraction for me to get myself out of such a situation. The Hunters had finally found me, I was a weak little girl who couldn’t even shift trying to evade a pack of angry Hunters on foot and not to mention that I had to duck and dodge every now and then to avoid taking the next shops window to my face, while my pursuers literally just broke through anything and everything in their path.In front I saw merchants and sellers dash out of my way as I approach, some on lookers watched from closed stalls and it occurred to me how cold this city actually was. All these people seeing me dash for my life throug

THE LYCAN CITYVALERIEThe pain in my face was becoming unbearable as the stranger with me twisted my broken nose without remorse. I had heard something break with a crunch at the time I fell but the pain was damped by the intense rush of adrenaline. He dabbed a foul smelling ointment onto the bridge of my nose before wrapping a tight bandage around my face. The ointment instantly seized the hot pain and soon I was left with you a half numb face.He looked out the small window every time, probably checking if we were being followed by Hunters.He said little and acted with little regard.I looked around the room, empty apart from the cabinet he placed the candle and the ceiling was designed with cobwebs so much that it looked like this place had been abandoned for over a year. Not a minute would pass without a spider dropping on my arm and I would swat away the disgusting bug immediately.The moon was beginning to set above. If he wanted us to make our move at the cover of dark then h

THE LYCAN CITY. LUKKAR CASTLEVALERIEI had done something unforgivable. Not only did I lied about my name to hide my own identity, I had also lied about my betrothal and on top of that I was going to be married to the Alpha Emerals brother. I didn’t like nor did I love him, but if this guaranteed my safety it was a risk I would rather take.One of the laws of the kingdom was nobody could marry someone other than the person they were or had been betrothed to unless their betrothal mate dies. As much as I hated it, I was still owned by the Alpha Emeral. The Wolf still had a claim on me and yet I was going to marry his brother under the next full moon.I rubbed the back of my hand against my eyes. I sat in my bed, remembering the show I had put with the lungful Alpha Lukkar. I could see the lust in his eyes when he spoke. Men, it was easy to tell when they wanted to have sex with you and he did nothing to hide that intention.He had wrinkled his nose before leaving, telling me to take

CONTINUATION.DERONJacks words was like a wave of bees that buzzed around my head and prevented me from from concentrating on anything else apart from their presence.I shook my head, looking at him with all manner of serious as I clamped down on my head with my hands.“No… no…. no…” I muttered.The thought of hope only for it to be crushed by the actual truth was already hurting enough.I suddenly felt like the air in the room got thicker and was too dense for me to breathe it in.“You can’t do that Jack she’s gone!” I told him, hoping that he was just talking out of grief. If Valerie was really out there then it means I had failed her twice, not only was I not there for her when she needed someone the most but I had also left her all alone in a world were she would be in a constant run from Hunters.“I overheard my father talking with the Emeral last night!”“What did they say?” I asked, curiosity burning in me.“Valerie wasn’t killed. She’s alive! She must have escaped to the Lyca

EMERAL KINGDOMDERONIn a thousand years I had never expected Jack to turn against the king Alpha or his pack Alpha father. I had instantly regretted showing him the document but was relieved when he didn’t have any negative reaction. If this was the way we intended to handle this then I was all in favour of new Jack.The plan had been set. Jack would have to stay behind in our kingdom in order not raise suspicions not to mention that he was too much of a celeb in the kingdom and his pack was well known for it political and societal stance, meanwhile I would journey to the Lycan City to secure and bring Valerie home.I had given myself enough time to reflect and think about why the Jacks father had raised Valerie and Jack not like twins but like a younger and older sibling. If what I thought was anywhere close to being right then it meant that Mr Mo'monte had wanted to rope his pack into the ruling royal pack of the Alpa Emeral and the only way for him to have done that was if his eld
