Lycans were dangerous. That fact was instilled in me the moment I learned what we truly were. I was probably five when I did. My initial reaction to that idea was fear, and anger. For someone who belonged to a group that hated Lycans, it wouldn’t be so suprising for a kid like me to feel the same. Afterall, when one was naive and dependent to the group of individuals’ ideals, one started adapting what the others think and believe in. I did believe they were bad and heartless until I met Conrad. Though, I cannot generalize. I could trust Conrad. Him, and his genuine love and care for me. Certainly, even if I were to come with him in their land, I would be safe. No one could tell me otherwise after he crossed the border just to see me. “Why?” he asked, and then moved to face me more freely. “Would you have the time to do so?” “Not now…” I looked away to get a piece of burger. “But I could make time next week. How long would it take if we go there using a transportation?” I wasn’t g

“This was such an extreme turn of event..” said the lady wearing a white dress with pearl earrings. Her brows were finely drew. Her lipsticks were mixed, and I could tell how well she had combined them in. Her lip line was on point, too. With her appearance, I’d say she was on the same age as the Luna. “Who would have thought that a wolfless girl like you would be chosen as the Alpha’s mate?” She was definitely one of those whom the Alpha admired. She looked elegant. The way she moved, and physically present herself was a proof of it. She was no ordinary wolf. She was an important one, perhaps, one that the Alpha were likely to be friends with. I put up a fake smile, and then slightly tilted my head. “Right? Even I didn’t thought I would be the future Luna of the pack…” I didn’t like her words, appearance wise. Although I had expected this since they were raised as someone who had the power to say whatever they would like, it still irked me. Nobles truly were ignorant of the word re

The idea was insane, my safety aside. I could tell at least a dozen reasons why I shouldn’t bring Adler, but then it wouldn’t matter because the three of them already joined forces. Right now, it wasn’t even about my decision. It was go with him, or not go at all. ‘It is for the best, Avalynn.’ Alice comforted me. ‘Your safety is what’s at stake here.’ I knew. But I trust Conrad. Though I consider the possibility of that possibility happening, it was overwhelmed by my faith for Conrad. I trusted him that much. I just couldn’t see him the way they were trying to see him now. Because I felt it. Alice did too. “Fine…” I breathed hard. “But you’ll have to obey me all through out—” “I refuse to.” Adler cut me off. “I’ll do things my way if the situation calls for it.” “Fine! But you’ll have to talk it out with me.” I frustratedly gave in. “Plus, you’ll have to avoid fighting Conrad. If it’s even possible, don’t talk to him.” “Fine with me,” said Adler. “So how it’s going to be?” Jade

My heart contorted as I heard the door creaked. The men guarding us lined up then. Conrad and I stood up and then bowed our heads as he walked elegantly and intimidatingly towards us. I heard the door shut closed a few seconds later. I could feel his aura. I could smell his scent. My heart beated loud at his presence. He was strong. Not just because he was a Lycan, but because he really had the power to. I could feel it on his every step, and I’d bet that Alice was feeling that too. This sensation was something I only ever felt whenever I thought of standing up in front of the Alpha before, when I was still wolfless, except this was more extreme. Perhaps because this moment wasn’t someone any other normal werewolf would experience. This was the rarest. And I didn’t know if I’d feel honored, mad, or disgusted that this was even happening. All I knew was that I was afraid. Perhaps, more than I had ever been. “Please take your sit, Conrad and… Avalynn..” The King hesitated on my name,

He wasn’t the one my mother dated? So this Theodore wasn’t my father? My lips were tightly shut as I scanned Conrad’s uncle. The smell regardless, he didn’t look like someone capable of killing. He didn’t even look like someone who could get mad. He looked rather calm, and really friendly. “Greetings, I am Avalynn Hewlett.” I finally managed to say after checking him out. “Theodore. Theodore Leones. “ His uncle reached for my hand. I was still in awe, so it took me seconds before I could respond. I took his hand, and shake it. There were no familiarity. I couldn’t feel the spark I was supposed to feel. It didn’t feel like he was my father. Alice said it herself, too. She knew Theodore by scent and aura. He wasn’t him. My heart jumped. Now, everything had been clear. We didn’t have to continue this plan anymore. We didn’t need to proceed with the invasion. Conrad was innocent! So was his uncle, Theodore! I subtly breathed a sigh of relief, and then I smiled. “Nice to meet you, The
