ELARA The fire kept burning in front of me, loud and wild like it had been waiting all day to swallow me whole. I stood there, breathing in the smoke, feeling the heat crawl up my skin, but I didn’t step back. I didn’t even blink. One of the elders raised his hand. His voice came out strong, like he was proud to say it. “Elara of the Eastern bloodline, you are found guilty of breaking sacred law. You carry the child of another while still bound to the Alpha—”

*LYCIA* “Mate.” That was the first word he spoke while I stood frozen in place at the fear and catastrophe I had wrecked on myself. He looked confused and his golden eyes were vivacious as it assessed me like a predator. I had never seen a real Lycan in my life before. My mother had made sure that I never came in contact with one but I had read about them. About their golden eyes the color of the sun and just as deadly, closer to the eyes of a beast than humans and one that they only showed when they felt threatened and ready to attack.

I had barely finishing talking before he whipped his phone out and started searching Elias. “He seems legit,” Lorenzo muttered after a few minutes of searching. “And what he said is true, from what I was able to find out myself. He seems to have more information about lycans than I do. Lycans are very guarded, and it doesn’t help that information on them was either destroyed or corrupted.” He looked up at me and nodded. “What do you want to do?” What do I want to do. Tears rushed to my eyes. When was the last time anyone asked me that?

Dain’s lip curled up like he’d tasted something foul. “And if we show teeth?” Marrow asked, “Will the Lycans bite for us, Enforcer? As in the old days? As your ancestor did for our fathers?” “Lycans bite for order,” I said, looking at him until he dropped his eyes to his desk, until his wolf whined where only I could hear it. “Not for kings who cannot hold their own borders. We are not your dogs, Elder. We never were.” The room chilled. Literally. Frost crept along the stone near my boots, lacing the grout in white. A few guards exhaled and their breath fogged.

I yell, tired of the stupid sounds he made through his mouth all in the name of talking. My lycan came out in full force this time. Muscles rippled beneath taut skin as my form expanded, embodying primal might. My eyes gleamed with an intense, feral glow. The sinews of my limbs bulge with power, veins pulsating in harmony with the surging energy. I changed into my full lycan, and Damien's eye changed to something I had never seen before. He had the eye of a dangerous serpent, one was red like fire while the other was breezy and black.

Pain sears through my side and warm blood gushes down my sleeve, stark red against the white snow. Eyes wide and shaking like a leaf, I stare up and the Lycan snarls above me, breath hot and ragged, its yellow eyes wild with hunger, pain, and hatred. Panting heavily and shaking like a leaf, I weakly hold my side as my mind goes blank. I think this is it. Am I going to die earlier this time? Am I not destined to die of old age at all? With a whimper, I close my eyes and wait for my inevitable doom.

It seems it was more serious than I thought. “Ohh look at the first arrival, it’s Alpha Lucifer Fernot, the leader of Bulgaria.” Josh said, the excitement evident in his tone. “Do you know Alpha Lucifer, Elsa?” Richard suddenly spoke, breaking his silence for the first time. “Yep, on television.” I replied, winking at him. “That's so hilarious, you guys forget that Elsa has no alpha blood, neither is she related to the alpha or have close ties with them, she just grew up in the capital with her parents.” Oliver said.

Emris pulled his fist out of the broken mirror with a bitter scoff. "You had us all completely fooled." "I'm not your enemy, Emris." Faye sighed. " I'll be the judge of that. And right now, I see no reason to believe a word you say." "Fine, then I'll give you a reason to." Faye shrugged. "George Halter, he's the warrior commander here right?" "How do you know that?" "I'm from the Blood Shield Pack, remember? The one with the Aster family. I know some things that'll greatly benefit the Lycan race -starting with the traitors amongst you."

Luca is a Lycan and Lycans are known as the most possessive creatures, even more so than other creatures including werewolves who are in the same family as them. I saw the situation getting even more tense as Adam turned around and gave Luca a blank stare. I immediately stood up to stop this before it got any worse and took Luca’s hand, “Come on, I can get it myself. Thank you so much, Adam,” I looked at him apologetically and pulled Luca with me. I could hear Largo growling in my head as we walked past Adam who was still standing where he was. I didn't say anything and took Luca to look around to calm his anger. And during that time Luca stuck to me, he became more and more protective than
