The Edge of War

CAELUM I could still hear her voice in my head even after I crossed back into my territory. The guards at the entrance shifted slightly when they saw me, like they could feel that something was wrong.One of them stepped forward, “Alpha...” he started, but I didn’t let him finish before I grabbed him by the collar and slammed him hard against the wall, the sound echoing sharply as his head hit the stone. I saw the shock in his eyes before pain replaced it.“Do not speak to me,” I said in a low and dangerous tone, the kind of tone that made even the strongest wolves step back.He tried to nod, but I tightened my grip slightly, just enough to remind him who I was, just enough to let the anger in me out in a way that did not break everything before I let him go. He dropped to the ground, breathing hard, blood already starting to show where his head had hit, and the other guards froze, no one daring to move, no one daring to say anything.I did not trust myself to hear anything right no

A King’s Dangerous Desire

CAELUM Every one of the council members stared at me as though I had just lost my mind. The messenger had left to carry out my orders while the guards had returned to their duty post. "Alpha..." one of the members tried to speak up but I silenced him by raising a hand. "This meeting is adjourned," I said, getting up to my feet. "But, your majesty, we haven't even deliberated on anything yet.""I said this meeting is adjourned, until further notice." I let out in anger, pounding my fist against the table. The entire room fell silent. No one dared question my orders. I was about to walk out of the room when another member spoke up. "Your majesty, you will have to consider raiding the Lycan kingdom. Please think this through. It's going to cost the kingdom lots of money and resources. We can't afford to lose any of that now." I stopped in my tracks to listen. What he said made sense but I had already made up my mind. I didn't care if the kingdom would bleed from this decision I hav

A Prison Made of Silk

SERAPHINA It was until I woke up that I realised that I hadn't slept well in days. My body felt extremely light and relaxed. My thoughts were well coordinated now and not fogged like they used to be. Then it hit me. The bed I was sleeping on was extremely soft. I could tell that the texture of the bed made it easier for me fall asleep. It was strange because it was not the kind of thing I would usually pay attention to. But I couldn't help but notice the soft texture of the bed like it had been changed completely, like someone had chosen it carefully, and I pressed my hand into it slowly, watching the way it sank under my palm. Vaelarion’s bed was not always this soft, did he actually change the bed...for me?My cheeks flushed heavily as the thoughts dawned on me. I swallowed slowly and leaned back against the pillows, testing it without meaning to, and it felt too comfortable, too easy to sink into, like it was meant to make someone rest, to make someone feel safe.I almost laug

The Edge of Mercy

VAELARIONThe forest was now the only place I found peace asides laying next to Seraphina. I didn't know how long this was going to last but I couldn't keep on denying myself and my wolf of what we wanted the most. Last night when I had laid next to her, the noise in my head had disappeared, replaced by an odd calmness that made my senses almost neutralised which was dangerous for an alpha like myself who needed to be at alert at all times. The look on Seraphina’s face as she slept brought me a kind of peace I never knew I had. I had reached out slowly to touch her but I held back. I remembered how swallowing hard had felt when I reached out and grazed her soft skin. I had cursed under my breath when I heard my wolf stirring again but not violently this time. Seraphina’s body was the only thing my wolf recognised. I enjoyed every moment with her. When I leaned in for a kiss and the heat from her nostrils washed across my face, my insides melted until I heard that voice telling me

The Beast Unleashed

VAELARIONThe minute I stepped into the room, I felt my wolf raging aggressively again. I knew it was all from the temple, the conflicting power from the temple against my curse. Despite this, it brought an off feeling of dopamine. I smiled to myself, knowing I was going to devour another sacrifice tonight. Ever since Seraphina, I had always held back and this had done me more than good. But tonight...tonight was going to be different. The entire palace was going to feel it when I finally unleashed. I walked towards the window and began taking my clothes off. Rosa had prepared the bed and left towels. I let my pants fall to the floor first before I reached for the buttons on my shirt and began to undo them. Moments later, a loud knock resounded on the door. The sinister smile on my face grew wider. "Enter." I said simply, letting my shirt slide down from my back to my waist level before I shook my thigh lightly, allowing the shirt to slide all the way down to the ground. The do

The Only Cure Is Her Death

VAELARIONI did not remember when it started, I only knew that by the time I became aware of myself, there was already blood on my hands and something inside me had gone too far to pull back easily. I stepped away from the dead body and closed my eyes shut as I tried to stay calm. I was breathing harder than I should have been. I stared at the body on the floor and waited for the calm that was supposed to come but it did not come, it did not even try to come, and that was when I knew something was wrong.“This should have worked,” I muttered under my breath roughly, the sound of my voice almost unfamiliar to my own ears, and I wiped my hand against my trousers but it only smeared the blood further, making it worse instead of better.I had done everything the way I always did, I had taken the woman without thinking, used her the way my wolf demanded, and when that was not enough, I drank from her until her body went still, and that had always been enough to quiet the hunger, to silenc

The King’s Breaking Point

SERAPHINA My body was still heavy from the pain in my knee and the weakness that had not fully left me. My eyes fluttered open to see Vaelarion on all fours, his body jerking violently. "Vaelarion." I whispered. The moment I did, he sprang up in a twinkle an eye, scaring the life out of me. He looked more like a beast than human. There was blood all over him...blood that didn't look like they belonged to him. His eyes were bloodied red, and he was foaming at the mouth. My stomach twisted. "My...my king?" I called out. “Seraphina.” he hissed sharply. I swallowed hard but my throat felt dry, and I tried to push myself up but the moment I moved, pain shot through my knee and I let out a soft cry before falling back against the bed, and that small sound seemed to do something to him because his eyes changed again, for a second I thought that was a good sign until I saw his hand move slowly like he was reaching for me.My breath caught in my throat as fear rushed through me so fast

Uncovering the Elders’ Deception

THE PRIEST.I did not like the way the room smelled when I stepped inside and sat down, preparing to get to work. This kingdom, they only sent for me when things were already getting out of hand, more like they were using me and would only bring me in when all of their other solutions must have fallen through. But what could I do, I had a duty to the king, just like I did to the moon goddess. I kept my bag aside and sat beside the king. “My king… can you hear me?”I kept my voice low as I spoke careful and respectfully, even with that, he didn't respond to me, not even a shift in his breathing, and that alone was enough to unsettle me because this was not a man who went down easily, not even when he was wounded.I reached out and placed my fingers lightly against his wrist, feeling for his pulse, and it was there, strong but uneven, like it was fighting against something.“He should not still be like this,” I muttered, more to myself than anyone else, and I glanced at the elders

The Mysterious Stranger and Seraphina’s Rescue

SERAPHINA The silence that engulfed the dungeon after I had practically been thrown inside was deafening. I could hear heartbeats from miles away because of the silence. I adjusted on the floor but the pain that shot through me made me freeze in place, my heart pounding loudly inside my chest. I promised myself that I wouldn't cry, not anymore. They weren't worth my tears. But even when I vowed to myself that I wouldn't cry, tears continued streaking down my cheeks. I convinced myself that I was only crying as a result of the way the guards had thrown me into the dungeon like a piece of trash and the injuries i had sustained from last time. I reached out and touched my knee lightly. The area was numb but I could still feel pain in other body parts. I squinted as I pulled my hand back, forcing myself not to think of Vaelarion and the elders. It was evident that the elders never liked me and were only awaiting a chance to showcase the magnitude of hate they harboured inside them t

The Priest’s Shocking Discovery

SERAPHINA There were guards...no soldiers guarding the entire place. Not one of them made a move to try and stop us as we walked. The man was still holding my hand, leading me up ahead, even though I wasn't sure of where he was taking me to. "I've got some questions to ask you." The man let out. 'I've also got questions for you' I intoned internally. The soldiers saw me walking with this strange man, yet they didn't try to stop us....or maybe not to stop him, they didn't try to stop me. So why did the man break me out of the dungeon, only for us to now walk freely past the soldiers?My chest thudded as we walked past, their eyes trailing our every movement. "Shouldn't we be worried?" I whispered into the man's ear. "No dear, we have nothing to worry about." He replied. Even when he said those words, I couldn’t help but worry. It wasn't until we turned down the corridor that I realized that the man was taking me back to my chamber. "How did you..." I muttered, my eyes wide open
