he sympathized “What spell do you speak of great one?” Queen Wendy asked, confused. “The spell of the Lycan!” he said “What does that EVEN MEAN?” Queen Wendy asked, confused. “For almost a century, the witches have sought a way to build a stronger force for them, especially after their way with the werewolves who were supposed to be their weapons. The witches always have the idea but never the strength. The curse of the lion and wolf. The lycan curse! They finally did it and it is right here staring at me from this little boy’s eyes. This is amazing!” he said almost happily.

“You are in the land of the in-between, just like us, since you fainted after seeing your dear Ethan turned into a beast-looking creature.” “Sweetie, they are called Lycanthropes or Lycans. They may look scary, and I can agree with beasts, but we cannot be judging anyone on appearances, right?” Alona rubbed Lexy’s back gently as she explained. Lexy fell silent. Her mom had a point, but she was still scared. She had not seen a frightening creation doing anything good to her during the whole time she was with them. How can she convince herself they are not beasts when they beat Ethan without mercy.

With that, I open the door and walk out, ending the conversation. I’ve fought hard to escape the demons of my past. Moving on hasn’t been easy, but I tell myself I’m done with it. It’s a lie. I still have nightmares about my personal demon from hell every single night. Nightmares—visions of my tormented past. This phenomenon occurs in Lycans who fail to complete the mating bond. Some say it’s the moon goddess’s way of urging them to fulfill the bond with their mate. Others claim it’s a curse on those who reject their fated or chosen mate.

Their silver hair, believed to bear semblance to the moon goddess, was what identified her as a Hawthorne and nothing more. While her family, though late, were remembered for the gifts—her father had great strength, one that rivaled the lycans despite being a wolf shifter if not surpassing most of them. Her brother possessed the ability to heal, not just himself, but others too. His battle prowess was sung by many.

“You remember my story last night?” She nodded, playing with her fingers on her lap. “The prophecy?” “Yes,” I confirmed. “The Lycans are kind yet powerful supernatural beings. What Anca used to start a war between the vampires and the Lycans had something to do with how they mate.” Her brows creased, interest piquing. “Yeah?”

“Have they been hiding their true nature from you all this time?” “I... I don’t understand.” “Some are bitten. They change later. Hybrids. Half human. Half beast. But you... you were born this way. You’re a Pureblood. A true Lycan. And your ichor, your blood, carries traits of a lineage I don’t even recognize. That intrigues me. Fascinates me. I thought I’d seen everything. But you… you’re different.” Everything around me started spinning. The forest, the sky, the leaves, all of it whirled. My stomach turned, my feet lost the ground. I felt like I was about to fall. To faint. To vanish inside myself.

Lycans are beings that possess both human and werewolf characteristics. Their gait was reminiscent of that of a human, yet their upper physical form was unmistakably that of a werewolf. In both their lupine and mortal states, these beings engage in a sacred union with their fated partner. If one desires their partner to conceive, it is advisable to engage in lycanthropic copulation. The Lycans possess an extraordinary combination of sagacity, might, and swiftness, with the Alphas exhibiting even greater strength.

According to the messages, the fire had been mysteriously halted, and the hospital authorities had quickly brushed it off as negligence to avoid any further investigation. A connection sparked in Zayn's mind. The fire, the hospital, Viggo's interest, and the word ‘Lycan’, they were all interwoven in a web of secrecy and deception. Intrigued, he quickly swiped open his browser and started searching for information about ‘Lycan’. The search results flooded his screen with articles, myths, and legends. Zayn delved deeper, discovering that lycans were creatures akin to werewolves, possessing the ability to transform between human and wolf forms.

I laid on it as I flipped through the book and began to read. I flipped past the preface. Lycanthropy was a gift by the moon goddess to a family that was sent into exile and left to rot in the wilderness with no food or water for them to survive. The woman and her fifteen-year-old son were sent out of the village because of an offense committed by her husband. One night on a full moon while she was in the wilderness with her son in her arms too weak and about to die, she prayed to heaven to save them.

Algernon cautioned, and she responded with a solemn nod, fully attentive. "Thousands of years ago, Lycans were known as werewolves. They could only shift into their wolf form under the full moon. However, Lycaon, the great and mighty Lycan King, became the first werewolf to shift into his wolf form under the sun, without needing a full moon. This granted him greater power, strength, and agility than any other werewolf. He used this newfound power to lead his kind to victory and free them from enslavement during the Full Moon Liberation.
