Coughing up I cursed the day I got to know King Malakai and Lady Jasmine. I was totally humiliated, and had to retain whatever semblance of my pride. “Silver Lycan is a fable, Lady Jasmine. I did not think that a creature as old as you would believe in children stories”, I said snickering and sipping the bourbon she poured from my drink cabinet.She was sitting back in her chair, her long legs crossed looking at me as if I were the stupidest person in the universe… “Tsss tssssk.. Alpha King, you have much to learn – you really can be an idiot”, she said exasperated.“This is the story set in a time way before your existence..” she started, looking at me in an expression I could not define…”Long time ago, in the Balkan mountains. You of course know the story of creation, and that of each of our species, of course. You know of your elder Lakota, she mused and ours, Queen Rowena”, she continued.. I simply nodded, my neck still hurting, looking at her.However, there is another story whi

His stone face told me he was pissed.. His aura was pulsating anger and all kinds of confusing emotions – fear, anxiety, intimidation.. I did not know what to make of the whole mix.. All of the day today was extremely strange. I did not need Alpha King to be pissed at me again, I did not need to be in the room with him after our encounter and after my tub. The thoughts of the tub escapades crossed my mind and I blushed – although I tried my best to control myself and now show much to him…“Perhaps this is for the best” he said getting up slowly, his voice with a strange, menacing undertone. “You have been useless in finding me a mate, despite your promises.. And with you gone, maybe I can focus and stop relying on somebody so pathetic and actually find me a mate worthy to be my Queen Luna”.. His words stung incredibly and I felt as if somebody grabbed my heard by iron fist. I did not think I deserved his vitriol, yet I was on the receiving end of it.. “He is upset with the Princess, h

Roman POVWhat an absolutely weird fucking day, I thought to myself .. The smell of fresh cut roses was still lingering when Dragana left.. She always smelled like that and I was yet to meet any other creature who had that freshness, yet opulence and sensuality of smell like her. Give it to father to create new set of blue balls I though.. Lady Jasmine certainly threw the wrench in my plans, without any consideration. She never told me she will be taking her. This was not part of the discussion – likely for purpose. She likely knew I would not agree to it willingly, and being put under the command of the Royal Lycan family – I had no choice. Had she broached the subject, perhaps I could have negotiated something. She indeed was a very shrewd woman – very dangerous one, I thought to myself. How will Dragana help me find a mate now that she will be gone? More importantly, how if I do not find a mate will I have an offspring if Dragana was not there. I was unaware of her full lineage unt

Walking through the meadow, Lady Jasmine and I approached the forest.. The sun was setting now completely and the beautiful sunset was hitting the trees and the nearby magnificent lake, shinning lights like sparkles on it.. The hues and colors were beautiful. I stopped for a moment looking at it wistfully. It has always been my favorite part of living here – the lake and the lake house. We walked in silence, she would mind like somebody on occasion, her eyes glazing over, but I did not ask and we did not walk much.. I explained the legend of the lake origin, according to the Native American folklore – it was the legend of the wolf who lost her mate and her children and cried to the Goddess for days, praying for death and reunion with her loved ones. The Goddess took pity on her and created the lake of her tears, a mirror to another world, where the she-wolf could see her family every full moon in the reflection on the water.. When she died, Goddess gave her a final resting place under

Alice POVThe persistent attacks on our pack by unified forces of both Alpha King armies and that of Lycan King Malakai, almost obliterated our pack off the face of the earth. We were strong, but we could not sustain this assault much longer. My father has been gravely injured, and even though our doctors were doing everything possible, I feared he will not live but couple of days.. As an only child of Alpha Alan, I had an obligation to the pack, even if they would not recognize me as their ruler in his stead. I would not allow Alpha King, nor anybody really destroy all my father built, all he and my mother sacrificed for. The title was mine by birth, but as a female, many Elders were opposed to it. The going factions in our pack were very traditional, always deeming she-wolf’s place to be that in the bedroom or in the kitchen, not on the battle field, or in the matters of ruling. My father trusted me, in fact, the only reason we held so many defenses is because of my alliances and st
