Brayden’s ears alerted. If it’s Eva, that would mean she has left the terms of the game to help him. It’s like admitting her defeat by coming to his aid. Does he need it? Absolutely. Does that mean their game is over? None of them knew. What’s certain is that the bear chasing after Brayden’s tail is the more important priority of the moment. It’s the bigger problem, not the game.“EVA?!” Brayden screamed, head turning to the direction of the howl. No one answered, but there’s a subsequent howl. This time, it came from a different direction. It came from the right. The path where Eva took as part of their game.If the second howl belonged to Eva, then who is the first one who did?“EVA?! IS THAT YOU?!”None answered again. This time, Brayden let it go for some moments. He found the bear to be the bigger person to the situation. He shook off the howls yet.But then it’s the one who has revealed themselves. It’s not Eva. It’s someone else… and the she-wolf was covered in blood. “Alo

They’re Coming

The Lycan King’s Claim/Cyril Dickson

Brayden couldn’t believe his eyes when suddenly, a cloud-like form descended from the sky. It continued to adjust and reach to Eva and the laying Alora.He kept quiet and only observed. Brayden couldn’t help it. He knows what’s going on. He already knew this is a manifestation of the moon goddess. Moon goddess, hear my pleaHere is your servant, here is your sacrificeWith hands held high and prayers set up to the skyThe movements of the clouds and the alignment of the starsMake way for the goddess, let him reign forevermoreMoon goddess, hear my pleaCome and take me away, learn that the seeker is meBe my answer in the midst of all the confusionBe thy guide, rain down your miracle-Eva repeated the chant until the cloudlike form enveloped Alora. It thickened and looked like it was dancing around Alora. Brayden covered his mouth, still unbelieving on what he’s witnessing at the moment.And then after some minutes, the cloud dispersed in thin air. Brayden watched in anticipation,

Virgo’s Support

The Lycan King’s Claim/Cyril Dickson

It didn’t take long for Marion to notice something is going on with the Virgo.He just came back from the city with three of his men. As they approached the roundhouse, they noticed that it’s not the usual. It’s not peaceful, not even vacant. It’s like there’s an event for everyone. Only the Alpha wasn’t invited.“Did I miss something?” The first man beside Marion shook his head.“Are you also seeing this? There are too many Virgo inside and outside the roundhouse. Did I forget an important event today?”The other two men shook their heads, supporting the first man’s denial. Marion flinched and moved forward. They came in horses, and each of the horse has a baggage attached on its either side. They moved forward and with it, Marion’s anticipation of the matter increased. Maybe there’s some sort of good news, a cause for a celebration. As they neared, he saw Damon come out of the roundhouse.“DAMON!”Damon heard Marion call his name and immediately approached his direction. The form

The Pack Stays Together

The Lycan King’s Claim/Cyril Dickson

Alpha Draco’s army has been gathered by his loyal right hand, Luis. Most of the Red Blood pack are men and young children and because the Great Alpha wants to secure his victory with the war, he has trained the young men to be part of the army too. Children aged 15 years old and older were recruited by Luis and was trained everyday to be a part of their team.This happened to be an advantage. To Alpha Draco, not to the children who was given no choice. They weren’t given time and opportunity to enjoy their youth. Instead, they were given the heavy duty and responsibility to defend the pack and their alpha. “The weapons have been purchased and sharpened, Great Alpha.”Luis did his daily rounds and reported back to the alpha. Alpha Draco nodded, impressed by Luis’ sense of initiative.“I was only about to tell you to do it.” – he said“I already figured since… you know.”What Luis meant is the death of the human (Jonathan). Because they cannot push him to disclose the whereabouts of th

The day after was the weirdest day for Alora. Waking up and seeing all the people the Red Blood pack has labeled as “Rebels” at the foot of her bed, she felt like a criminal standing in front of the decision council.“She’s awake!” – Norton said, poking Asher on the waistAsher shushed Norton. Harper and Damon whispered to each other’s ears and then Harper excused herself from the scene. In her mind, Alora’s still an enemy. An enemy who doesn’t deserve this much attention from everyone.“Alora…”Asher moved to stand at the side of her bed. She held out her hand and Asher held it. “I knew everything. Damon told us. You’re very, very brave. You risked your life for the good reasons.”Alora smiled. Finally, after a long time of overthinking on howshe’ll fix the bond between her and her brother, they have made up. It’s funny that she still needs to have a brush with death before the two of them finally have peace.“Thank you, big bro. I’m glad I made you proud. Thank you for accepting me

Everyone didn’t see it coming. Elias pulled out a clean dagger from his duffel bag and gave it to Alpha Draco. The latter took hold of it with his right hand and signaled Elias to bring the man closer.The man’s eyes dilated and his face got devoid of color. He was muttering an apology, again and again, and he’s looking at his friend for support. The second man from before couldn’t watched. Instead, what he did was to stand at the sides and look apologetic. The man being held by Alpha Draco doesn’t know how to react now. He didn’t move as he felt the knife touch the base of his neck. The crowd gasped. “This is what happens to those who don’t believe in me.”And with a quick motion, Alpha Draco slit the man’s throat. A lot of the men looked away. Alpha Draco let go of his hold and the men fell on the ground, clutching his throat with both hands. Thick red blood oozed and sprayed everywhere. The second man gasped and stepped away. Because of his proximity to the area, some of the ma

Asher adjusted the cover on his face from the nose down. It was during their break that he secretly sent a message to Damon that they have to abort their mission. The exact number of the Great Alpha’s army is unknown but they’re double the number of those they have in the Virgo.Also, minus one. The man the alpha killed due to his slanderous comment about the war. All in all, the odds are not in the favor of the Virgo. Given that these includes the young teenage men, that means that the number is indeed up. They stopped for a quick rest. Alpha Draco has requested someone to hand him a glass of water. There, they paused and gave the alpha his water. Alpha Draco’s temper is still up due to the slanderous statement uttered against him. He did not plan to kill the man on his first offense but he felt the dire need of doing so. He is aware there are others in the army who thinks the same. So he has to prove them wrong by expressing his lack of care and conscience on death. “How close ar

The Hovering Battle

The Lycan King’s Claim/Cyril Dickson

Where to start? Alora thought. To start with an apology is of no moment. She has done that a lot of times before. If this won’t work out, then she’s sure Harper won’t give her another time.“I’d like us to be best friends again.” – Alora said. Direct, straight to the point. She didn’t want the introductory apologies that would only lead her beating around the bush. Neither of them has the energy nor the time for it. A war is approaching them as they speak. Harper smirked. “Hmmm… interesting. That’s all you have to say?” “It’s what I need to say. Besides, I’ve already apologized to you a lot of times before. You did not accept them. So, yeah, I’m taking my chances by being direct this time.”Impressive, Harper thought. If she were to be honest, a lot has changed with the timid, pushed-over, afraid to speak her mind version of Alora. Nowshe’s more of a strong, bold and independent element. Not even the same with Asher. She’s more like a dangerous element. A free spirit. “You know,
