31. Rejected by the pack

Darius glanced from his beta, Herrick, and back to Theresa who was standing in the middle of the crowded courtroom. "How credible is this story of yours, Theresa?"Theresa sighed in frustration. She had been trying to convince the guardians with her story about the mermaids, but the looks on their faces only showed that they doubted her. "I saw them with my own eyes...all nine of them!""Nine?" Elaine leaned from the wall behind her husband and approached him, stopping by his side. "Dear, I don't think she has any reason to lie about such a thing; she might be telling the truth for all we know."Darius looked up at his wife. "Elaine, you and I know that mermaids are extinct, and even if they are not, they wouldn't come to us for help, they are a proud clan.""But Theresa did mention one who journeyed alongside the royal ship with her to Pragoth, isn't that proof enough?" Elaine pressed."And why haven't we seen or heard anything about this particular mermaid in q

32. There's something in the sea

Elaine, however did not look too pleased and Theresa didn't even realize that she had been crying until a drop hit her hand which was entwined in front of her, against her body.Herrick cleared his throat, and the murmurings ceased a bit. "I believe we all came here to discuss what ever had slipped through the veil into the sea, and not Theresa. This poor girl has done nothing wrong but ask for our help on behalf of the mermaids! Why persecute her?!""She's a witch!" Claire stepped forward, angry that Herrick was standing up on behalf of Theresa. "No Lycan or nymph jumps that high, or causes earthquakes! I bet she practices black magic!" Medea who had been silently enduring the accusations of the people in the court against Theresa, suddenly sprang out of her seat now. "You have never spoken for any good reason, besides your own selfishness, Claire!" She spat. "Because none of us can explain or understand her powers doesn't make her evil! For all we know, she might be t

33. Theresa shapeshifts into... something

The men walked through the woods towards the sound of the crashing waves, with Theresa leading the way, and they were quite surprised when they found Lycidas already standing on the shore, legs spread apart with his arms folded under his chest.And much to Elaine's relief, he had on a pair of boots this time, which meant that he didn't either like the feeling of his bare feet sinking into the wet beach sand or simply just felt like wearing boots that evening.Elaine turned to look at Theresa who had her eyes closed, and her head tilted in an attentive position towards the sea. "Do you hear them, dear?" She asked.Theresa nodded. "It's a harp this time... From a sea nymph... Their muse."Elaine stared out at the sea, and watched her husband and the other men walk towards the crashing waves. Darius stopped beside Lycidas and scanned the surface of the sea. "The cries are gone," Lycidas said as the strong wind blew through their hair. "Very strange."Darius narrowed his eyes at the dist

34. The beast

"They are taking too long," Herrick said, scanning the surface of the sea with the others who had been patiently waiting for the mermaids to return."We should be particularly worried about Theresa," Astrophel anxiously stepped forward, scanning the sea. "We don't even know if she's okay down there.""Why don't you go in there and see for yourself?" Lycidas stated, arms folded across his chest.Astrophel glared at him then looked away without a word. Elaine who had her closed hands clasped under chin, scanned the sea in worry. "We still have to figure out how she has these powers. What if they are dangerous to her well-being? First, the high jump, then the earthquake, and now this? we can't risk her dropping different surprises on us.""My theory is that her body simply reacts whenever it senses danger and morphs into whatever weapon suits the situation, so I don't think we have anything to worry about milady," Lycidas replied indifferently."Hear yourself speak!" Astrophel fired, th

35. Mermaids' kiss

Theresa plunged back into the sea outside the rocks and joined the mermaids who were already circling the rocks with their spears. The beast shook violently, trying to free itself. It looked so fierce, and its rows of jagged teeth could effortlessly split a bone in a single bite. As the beast continued to aggressively thrash its body in the sea with almost half of its body stuck between the rocks, more sea water tumbled to the shore and splashed on Darius and his men.Lycidas wiped the salt water off his face with his hand and glared at the beast. "I have had enough!" He muttered and suddenly dove into the sea. Astrophel snorted with a frown and muttered. "Show-off!"Darius shook his head at Lycidas' impulsive action, and said to his men. "We attack now!""You don't expect us to follow that fool to our death!" Myers said, pointing at Lycidas who was swimming towards the mermaids and the roaring beast. "We can't breathe underwater for long, we will drown!"Darius knew that Myers was

36. Slain beast

Astrophel who meant to follow her was suddenly stopped by a hand on his chest by his father. "No need to interfere..." Darius said. "I think she can handle it alone."Without a word, Astrophel remained immobile, looking down at Theresa, who quickly pushed off the rock which was weighing down Lycidas who couldn't swim up because he couldn't breathe anymore.She quickly grabbed his wrist and yanked him up to herself. His hair was floating around his face and his eyes were losing focus as his lungs stopped receiving any oxygen. She placed her lips on his still ones and kissed him deeply, nudging his lips open with her fingers pressed into his cheeks, while Astrophel watched in dismay and displeasure.As soon as Lycidas could breathe again and Theresa had let him go, he jolted up past her without a word, swimming towards the tail of the shark which was still shaking violently, trying to set itself free. He knew what to do, and he had to do it fast. He grabbed the spear Andrew had left b

37. Thank you.

"Take your pets back to their cages before they hurt someone," Lycidas finally said to Kayla.Kayla huffed and turned around and began to swim away and all her sharks followed behind her, almost fifty in all, making Lycidas wonder why only one mermaid would own fifty sharks. He however knew that if the creature had not been stuck in the rock, the sharks were no match for it, for it would have crushed three at a time in its large jaws. He stared down at the knuckles of his hand which he had struck one of Kayla's shark with, and discovered that he had a small patch of the shark's skin on it.He assumed that the skin had probably peeled off on his knuckles when he had hit it, then he picked the skin off his knuckles and let it float in the sea, somehow grateful that Kayla was not around to see it. If sharks had headaches, that particular shark would go crazy with it for days.He suddenly paused when he heard the men behind him choking, and turned to see most

38. The feast

The feast had long begun, and some of the young Lycans danced around the large bonfire that had been lit in the middle of the feast whose smoke soared up to the night sky. There was more than enough wine and two boars were being roasted over the fire on spits.The feast continued as different musicians played their musical instruments which gave an animated atmosphere, for there was incessant laughter as the men drank mead and guffawed from the jokes and the tales that were told about the mermaids, and their encounter with the creature. A young maiden chased by a young male ran past the front of Theresa who was sitting on a low stool next to Elaine, and she was watching the happy people feast, and make merry.Her eyes longingly followed the running couple as they disappeared into the darkness where the light of the fire couldn't reach and Theresa finally turned away when the maiden's laughter faded in the distance."Quite a lot happens on nights like this, Theresa..." Elaine who had

39. Intruders!

Medea slumped down on the stool Theresa had vacated next to Elaine, and placed Berry on her lap, and Elaine turned to look at her. "Now, where have you been? I can never tell how long you have been missing, until you suddenly appear, Medea. Where were you in the past few hours?" "I was in the woods," Medea replied."You should be trying to get hooked, not gallivanting off on your own," Elaine chided her as she accepted Berry who had crawled from Medea's lap into hers."Elaine, you know that I don't do well in feasts..." Medea whined."Chasing off suitors or avoiding potential mates isn't an ideal thing for you... Every lycan needs a mate, Medea, that's how we thrive. You need someone to have your back!"Medea smiled. "I have been doing very fine without one, and I even survive my heat seasons without wanting to devour any man," she smiled smugly. "So I don't think I need any mate. Besides, you know I always wander off because I enjoy my solitude."Elaine snorted and turned to look a

40. Lycidas and Claire

Her dress slipped down her body and pooled around her feet and she stepped out of it then she placed her hands on her hips and seductively watched Lycidas who was seated in a single armchair in front of her."So... what do you think?" Claire asked huskily, fluttering her eyelashes at him.Lycidas ran his gaze up and down her lush body with an indifferent expression on his face. "Your father never taught you not to seduce an omega?" He asked.She was taken aback by his rather rude remark, and the smile on her face wavered. "What's that supposed to mean?"Lycidas leaned out of the chair and placed his elbows on his knees. "What's your name again?"Claire was clearly hurt this time and her smile completely vanished. After all her efforts to seduce him and also win his affection, he still didn't know her name? Unbelievable! "Claire!" She angrily replied him. "Claire it is! ...and should you make sure it sticks this time because I have told you a million times already."Lycidas continued
