Fated to the Lycan

Ashlyn's POV Outside in the cold air, through the window, I watched Lucifer engage in a battle with one of the members of his pack as the rest of the pack spectated. Since the day I'd been brought in here, I've realized it was to show how strong the alpha was and how well fitted he could easily defeat his enemies. The battle did not take long, as Lucifer had his opponent thrown to the ground and paralyzed. The rest of the spectators cheered him and carried him up and chanted his nickname. "Lucifer! The hell dog!" They kept chanting. I pulled away from the window and sighed. I hoped and prayed he would forget me tonight. I hoped his victory would occupy the thoughts of his mind, but I was wrong. A few minutes later, the very image of my thought strolled casually into my room. "Turn around," Lucifer commanded me in his alpha male voice and without much resistance, I obeyed, heading to the bed, my face away from his. Lucifer Saunron is the alpha male of the Lycans and the owner of

"Oh," I exclaimed softly, having a guess where this conversation was heading. "If this is about my inability to feed on humans then," I began, but mother waved it off. "This is not about that," she said rather impatiently. Sometimes, I wished father had never turned her. She was the perfect, gentle, and understanding mother. We were very close until her dark side broke us and drifted us apart. She was no longer understanding about my weakness. She wanted me untamed. Untamed to be a cruel vampire. That is what we vampires were all about. We were something beyond the extraordinary. "Let's get to why this assemblage is for Ashlyn," Otis said, getting impatient too. I knew he could not wait to get upstairs to continue his feasting and fornication with the touring ladies he had gotten hold of and that were in his room. Feasting and fornication. To Otis, that was life. "We have decided to get Ashlyn married." Mother dropped the bombshell, keeping us out of the suspense that had grown. "W

"What did you say about me, Eli? What did you say?" Darius asked him in anger."Nothing, Darius. I swear nothing." He replied, like the coward he was. His panicked voice almost made me laugh. "He tried to kill me, Darius. I swear he did and I promise I was good." I cried out to him.Darius dealt him a hefty blow and his face fell sideways and when he angled his head back in position, blood had formulated round his teeth and he had blood coming out from his nostrils. "It would take me nothing to drive a stake into this poor wretched heart of yours." Darius said to him."You would not dare." Eli finally spoke, finding his voice. He had the nerves to speak back at Darius.In flashes, Darius dealt him several blows and he fell to the ground.I held Darius. "Desist from disfiguring his face, Darius. Remember the groom must look very charming for the wedding." I said to him in sarcasm.He stared at me with a confused look and then he understood my sarcasm. He let go of Eli."I promise you

I scrambled on my knees towards Darius. "Please, do not let them take me away. Please, I beg you." I pleaded, tears spilling from my eyes as I wept at his feet.He did not move an inch and when I looked up at him, his eyes were red and I saw defeat in them. He could not save me this time. I was dragged off his feet by one of the Lycanthropes. His large paws encircling my waist as he placed me over his hairy shoulder like a lamb for sacrifice. I looked at my family and I felt a detest in my heart for them especially my father. Hatred for him was spreading in my heart like wildfire. Darius looked away from me unable to meet my gaze. He had saved me from the hands of Eli, but now he could not save me from the hands of this barbaric monster. No one could. I cried realizing my fate. ••Cardonald, Glasgow A tear finally slipped from my eyes as the rain drumming on the roof finally subsided. My tears did not drop for the fact that I was separated from my family. My tears dropped because

Lucifer's POV The over protective part of me had taken control when I sensed her falling from the horse the minute I walked into the stable.I hated that part of me, but I could not control it. It was something I had no power over. And now, she has angered me. Brutalized my ego. A few days ago, she had fear in her eyes for me and now that I have known her, taken her pride as a woman, she was no longer terrified of my darkness. How dare she? Punishment she deserved and punishment she would get. I pulled her by the hair out of the stables and she whimpered."Let go of me." She ordered. How dare she order me?!That infuriated me the more. I said not a word to her till we were back into the house and into her room. I pushed her unceremoniously on the bed and she gasped and began to vent."Stay away from me, you vulgar barbarian." Her shrew tongue lashed out.Steel was threatening to surface and tear her into pieces, but I held him in as I walked out of the room and returned few minutes
