GwenI couldn't describe the surprise I met when I opened my eyes. It had to be a dream, a huge joke. I squirmed uncomfortably and tried to wiggle free from the ropes I was bound with. My eyes met the queen's, her teasing eyes and sadistic smiles were evident. I looked around at where I was in confusion. I was in the throne room. How did I get here? I asked myself. Simon was seated on his throne, fist clenched. He could barely manage to subdue his anger. I was in Lycester and it was almost midnight. Derrick had left. The thought of it made me breakdown in tears. I had never been confused in my life as I was at that moment. I had managed to escape, no doubt. What was I doing back here? My eyes met Morgana's. She had a wicked and triumphant smile plastered on her face. Had she decieved me? How did she do it? How was I captured? Why was I still here? I had too many questions on my mind. The queen walked to where I knelt, tied up like I had done something wrong and was about to be jud
GwenI was probably getting whisked off to Derrick's dungeon in Dycan. I almost went berserk spending a few hours in Simon's dungeon. I thought about the dungeons that awaited me. I tried to distract myself, to focus on anything else, but my thoughts kept drifting back to the dark, foreboding place. I knew it would be cold and damp, that there would be no light or fresh air. I tried to imagine what it would be like to be trapped there, to be separated from the outside world. The thought made me feel sick, and I had to fight back the urge to vomit. I was terrified, but I had to keep my composure, to stay strong. I felt like the ground had been pulled out from under me. Everything I thought I knew had been turned upside down, and I was left reeling. My head was spinning, and my heart felt like it had been ripped from my chest. How could I have been so blind, so oblivious? The betrayal was like a knife in my gut, and I didn't know how to process it. I was consumed by a whir
“Mad dog will be waiting for you at the gate, I'll meet you both at the city gates.”“You're not coming?.” I asked in panic.“I'll be right behind you.” “I have to take care of someone.” He replied and ran back in, leaving me alone. I quickly ran to where he told me mad dog will be waiting. But when I got to the gate, mad dog was nowhere to be seen. I began to run, I was scared I'd get captured. Derrick or Simon could not capture me, I had to make sure of that. My hearing sense heightened, someone was on my heels. A wolf was chasing me, she had managed to slip past Derrick. It was Amelia. I ran desperately down the moonlit path into the woods. But I was no match for her, she was faster. I knew she'd get me soon at this pace. Panicking, I ran for my life, my heart pounding in my chest. She was hot on my heels, her breath panting against my neck. I could feel her hot, fetid breath on my skin, and I could hear her claws scrabbling against the ground. I ran as fast a
Gwen“I’m very sorry for rejecting you back then.” “I made a mistake and I hope you see my sincererity.” I was taken aback by his action. I was surprised. “You know you don't mean it. “What have I done wrong?.” “I accept you don't like me, but you don't have to put me through all these. Rejecting me should have been enough for you.” “What are you talking about?.” He finally asked. “You've been swaying my feelings, I'm probably your play thing like those girls at the inn from the other night.” “Stop acting like you love me or you have any feelings for me when you clearly don't.” He didn't flinch, he silently watched me pour out my grievances. “For a moment I foolishly thought you did, but I had no idea you were here to whisk me off to some dungeon in Dycan.”The betrayal stung so bad. Tears welled up my eyes. I was foolish, I thought there was a spark between us. “I don't know what I may have done to you Derrick, but I promise never to show my face before you e
The night made way for daylight. I and Gwen made our way to aunt Maya's. I sincerely hope mad dog had concluded the little exercise I had sent him. He and I were the only ones aware of the books existence. The third person who knew about it was my late father. Mad dog had sworn secrecy not to mention a word about that book to a single soul. Gwen could never know anything about it. I'd have to tell her myself. Knowing the truth would shatter whatever we have together. After a while, we got to aunt Maya's house. The place looked like a castle.Gwen's face lit up in excitement. Holding the hem of her dress, her eyes savoured the place in nostalgia. She took a deep breath of satisfaction. “It's just like I remember.” She said in smiles. Together we made our way in through the huge doors. I was happy she was happy, but I was still concerned about mad dog. Was he dead? Or perhaps did he run wild again? I had no idea what it was, but I can't let Gwen find out what my father did to
As the sun rises, its gentle rays paint the sky in hues of soft pink and orange, casting a warm glow over the world below. Dewdrops glisten like diamonds on blades of grass, while birds chirp melodiously, filling the air with their sweet symphony. The air is crisp and fresh, carrying the scent of blooming flowers and earthy foliage. In the distance, mountains stand majestically, their peaks kissed by the first light of dawn. It's a tranquil scene, inviting one to pause and savour the serenity of a new day dawning. Derrick held my waist as I rode him slowly. Straddling my legs around his waist, he rested his hands on my butt. I couldn't control my moans. The feel of him inside me was divine. He kissed me hungrily, and slowly trailed his kisses down to my neck. His tongue came to a stop on my breasts. He feasted on my nipples as I held the back of his head like I was intoxicated. I moaned with each stroke as he shoved his way inside me. I was panting hard. He fucked my b
Derrick crumpled a piece of paper and flung it across the throne room. I picked it up in curiosity, wondering what it could be. It was a threat letter, from the vampires. They were coming for us. They were coming for war. A move no other fortress had tried in centuries. Even before the time of the late alpha. They all feared Derrick, they knew how powerful he was. The knew he could eliminate them all at once without doing much. Why would they be bold enough to send a threat letter. They probably had a strong backing or something we did not posses. “Are you all right?.” I asked in concern going close to him. I sat beside him gently and placed my hand on his shoulder. “I'm fine.” He lied. I could tell when Derrick was lying, his voice would become subtle“You're not.” I insisted. “ I said I'm fine, just let me be.” He replied again, slightly raising his voice. I left angrily. I laid on the bed, thinking about how we may have wronged the vampires, or what connection we could possibl
The castle halls were dark and cold, the wind whistling through the cracks in the stone walls. The torches burned low, casting a weak light that did little to dispel the shadows. I shivered as I walked, my breath coming out in small clouds of mist. I could hear my footsteps echoing in the silence, and the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. The castle felt like a living thing, its dark eyes watching me as I moved through its corridors. I felt a sense of foreboding, like something was about to happen, something I wouldn't be able to escape. The palace was quiet and chilly, everyone had gone to bed except me. I was going to raid Derrick's study. I was looking for the Dycan chronicles. The book that only existed in myths. The writer remains unknown. The book Mad dog had told me about. It contained the story of notable key figures in Dycan; including my father. Perhaps it could tell me what happened to my mother. Dycan was the only pack with two packs existing together with no pack b
