Oracle of the Goddess

“The Oracle of the Goddess made the decision and chose the next mate for the new Lycan King, Callisto del Amathea.” The Priestess' voice echoes stately and graceful through the High Dome, decreeing the fate of one of the fifty mateless young wolves.Ever since the new Lycan King ascended the throne and bloodily took the crown from his father's head, all mateless young wolves, nobles or commoners, have been summoned to the High Dome. And just like the other times, one of them will be chosen to be the new Lycan's Queen.However, despite the flashy title, this one can be considered a death sentence — that's because the hatred that Lycans have for Werewolves is well known. The hostility between the races is sung even in lullabies. For a wolf to abandon its customs and beliefs like this… to leave their home and move to a completely hostile place, where their suffering is most likely craved… It's frightening. Unfortunately, even if these wolves’ rebel against the decree and try to escape… t

Lycan Realm

The carriage swung over a root of an old, centuries-old oak tree, making Rhea jump uncomfortably inside. It's been a few hours since she left the High Dome, which is in the center of the Sacred Forest, considered neutral territory.The south beyond the Sacred Forest is called the Bestiary Continent — where all the most feared creatures exist. And after the War, when the Lycans were banished to the south because of their extremely violent behavior and for denying their origins, they had to rebuild their territory in those arid lands, almost abandoned by the Goddess.Now, Rhea is passing through the Sacred Forest, heading south, where she will live for the rest of her days. She has never visited the Bestiary Continent because the rumors about it are terrifying. In fact, Rhea was barely able to visit her own land, as she was locked in her chambers most of her life. She's a cursed child, after all.As the carriage passes past the centuries-old oak trees, an intense sunlight shines through

Callisto del Amathea

The palace doors open for Callisto to enter the main hall. Even those who are already used to the sight are surprised to see it that way. His abs are completely stained with blood, as are his hands. There's even a bloodstain on his face, making those around him even more fearful.Everyone has drooping shoulders and bowed heads because Callisto's eyes alone are extremely terrifying. The yellow that glows in the irises, even when untransformed, is enough to bring nightmares to the most sensitive ones. But the real problem is Callisto's pheromones, which prove that he has been taking lives a while ago.“Callisto… could you stop those pheromones? You're scaring everyone.” Skôll calls out to him, arms crossed. His blue eyes also look as cold as glaciers.Callisto cleans the blood stain on his face and controls the pheromones, eliciting relieved sighs from the others, who quickly leave the room to leave them alone.“So… how are things in the far south?” Skôll studies him attentively, seeing

First day

Two girls who appear to be Rhea's age approach, wearing white dresses that contrast with the beauty of tanned skin; they're also short and with thin straps, with fabrics as light as silk; after all, the sun is intense, and the heat is almost suffocating. Even though Rhea searches for the lightest clothes she's brought in her luggage, they're still too hot.They approach and make a stiff reference, copying the one Rhea made when she first arrived. She suppresses a sweet smile at the girls' efforts to make her feel comfortable. But this is no longer necessary. From the moment Rhea was chosen to be Callisto's Luna, she decided to leave behind her kingdom and her customs.It's not like she cares too much about where she came from too… since the beginning, all those people have caused her is pain. Why would she hold so tight to a rose when the thorns are bleeding her hand? Its beauty does not make up for the wounds made by it.“My Queen, the King ordered us to come and help you get dressed

Facing the Lycan King

Rhea is led into the main hall by the twins in complete silence. The long corridors have long arches at their sides, like a path through a garden of green grass and colorful, fragrant flowers, and her blue eyes search through every detail. From there, it's possible to see a small waterfall that falls from the mountains and makes a pond further on. Even though the Bestiary Continent is a place of dry land, this garden reminds her a bit of her home.She shakes her head, putting aside those whining thoughts that insist on catching her off guard. Sooner, she's facing the huge double doors that are being opened for her passage. On the other side, an immense hall is displayed, and at the top of a platform made by a few steps, is a big black throne, which resembles the head and paws of a wolf. Sitting majestically on it, is Callisto.Now properly dressed and cleaned of blood, he's wearing a long white coat with gold details. And even though Callisto doesn't look so savage anymore, his presen

Bonding Ceremony

Three days pass quickly, and before Rhea knows it, the moment when she will finally be accepted as Luna de Callisto arrives.When Rhea gets to the garden that where the Bonding Ceremony will take place, she feels a chill inside her dress. It's the same she first spotted when she went to the royal hall.The nights in this place can be quite cold, considering the heat that prevails during the day. But the reason for the chill isn't the breeze that shakes her black hair, which has only a tiara, but the several smells that mix together, making it almost suffocating. So many powerful pheromones…The guests organize themselves around a path of white petals, which Rhea walks along, dragging her long silk dress that marks every curve of her body, including her hard nipples from the cold and anxiety. There's nothing but the light fabric on her body, which unlike the other clothes, covers more skin than expected, despite the bare shoulders. If it weren't for the long gloves, everyone could have

A great party

A great party has been organized for the guests to enjoy in one of the halls of the castle. The platform features two thrones, like the ones in the previous hall, although this place is much more luxurious. Rhea can't help but be dazzled by the amount of gold and precious stones in this land. It's said that the Bestiary Continent is extremely rich because no human has been able to leave it alive. Despite this, the Lycan people seem to live very well among these walls and mountains.Rhea, seated on the throne, takes a sip of the delicious wine, which envelops her in its aroma. As she's still wearing her smooth dress, with Callisto's cloak over her shoulders, she watches as the guests enjoy themselves and talk loudly. A truly lively folk.In her kingdom, the balls were filled with rules. It was easy to feel suffocated, with extremely tight corsets and breasts almost sticking out. Sharp looks, ambiguous words… It was always tiring. But here, in this atmosphere… Rhea can't help but smile.

Mating…?

Rhea can still feel her heart beating strongly. Ever since she left the royal hall beside Callisto and followed him to his quarters, she feels a mixture of feelings and adrenaline pulsing strongly in her veins. And when the image of Callisto in his wolf shape returns to her mind, a shiver runs through her body… She had never seen a wolf as big as his.And even now, in that room that's impregnated with Callisto's pheromones, she can't relax. Especially when he removes his cape and reveals his back full of diverse scars. Callisto puts on baggy pants, then turns to Rhea, who again lays her eyes on the huge scar on his chest… and on the eight packs.I'm already starting to feel funny......Her attention is quickly diverted when Callisto's voice sounds soft, so different from when they were in the hall, “I'm sorry if I startled you. I didn't mean to lose control.”“It's okay…” She hugs her body.Noticing her discomfort, Callisto brings his hand to the back of his neck, searching for the ri

Approaching full moon

Callisto is sitting at the table, watching quietly as Rhea delicately cuts a piece of meat and brings it to her mouth. He takes a moment to appreciate how her lips open and move, and how she sometimes licks them in subtle ways. Even though they're considerably apart, each at one end of the table, he's able to smell the soft scent of jasmine that makes his chest warm. Rhea notices and raises her eyes, staring directly into Callisto's, and they keep up eye contact for a few moments. The silence is already starting to become uncomfortable. Since Callisto ran away last night, after the Bonding Ceremony, they have not exchanged a single word. Still, occasionally, their eyes meet — only to him look away the next instant. She puts down the silverware gently, without breaking eye contact. She brings the wine-filled glass to her lips, keeping her blue eyes locked on his. As she knows, he's watching the way her throat moves, swallowing the reddish liquid that, even without touching his lips,

Pheromones

Rhea is walking through one of the palace gardens, enjoying the sun warming her skin. Maybe it's because it was a direct order from Callisto, but the merchants came really fast, and she was able to choose everything she wanted. Extravagance has never been one of her features, but since nothing she brought suits this kingdom, she had to spend more than she meant. Callisto didn't protest. In fact, they hardly exchange words or meet. It's a bit lonely.Walking outside the estate is also not something Rhea is used to. She was always forced to be closed, but at least entertained herself with books, her true passion. Lately, it has been so agitated that she even forgot to ask Callisto if there's a library in the palace.She wonders… Honestly, the hostility between Werewolves and Lycan is so bad that some of their features are seen as pejorative, even as a joke. Like the fact that Lycans have several mates…Rhea pauses suddenly, with realization falling heavy on her shoulders.Did Callisto r
