The two spent the long night in each other's arms away from the world. They profused their love to each other and realized sooner that they were deeply in love with each other.Blaire and Oscar decided it was better for both if them to relocate to another pack and watch out for themselves.Aria heard the news and was so happy for her sister. She felt happy that her sister finally found love despite how hard and rocky she had always proven to be. Wow. It was really thing of Joy. Aria got better and was back on her feet again, shunning the council and correcting every wrong they did. They felt she had come again to make things worst and impossible for them. Aria saved a young maiden and they reported her before the king saying she should mind her business and not poke into other people's matter as she had no idea how it has been running since she left. The king saw it as an insult and asked Marcus to go give them a notice to drop whatever positions they had and dismiss the council or
Dax paced back and forth in his private quarters, his mind racing with conflicting emotions. He couldn't believe what had just happened. His true mate, Blaire, had eloped with his younger brother, leaving him heartbroken and in need of a replacement mate.He had always known that his family was not entirely supportive of his relationship with Blaire. As the Lycan King, he had certain duties and obligations to his pack, and some members of his family felt that Blaire was not the right choice for him. But he loved her with all his heart and was willing to do whatever it took to make their relationship work,since they were mates bound together by the moon goddess.He winced in pain,His heart filled with heavy and, gradually the pain had sunk in.He had been planning to marry Blaire and take his rightful place among the pack. But now, with her sudden departure, he was left in a difficult position. As the Lycan King, he needed to have a mate by his side to lead the pack, but he couldn't jus
It's finally morning,the waves of the leaves could be heard from Dax window as he slowly Open his eyes .Only to be welcome by the ray of sun which shine brightly through his window, Into his bed room.He yawn , sluggishly Standing up from his bed .He took a turn as he slowly walked into the bathroom.His mind filled with the thought of Aria and what her response would be.Soon he was ready ,He headed out of his room . Slowly but steadily,he took the road that led to Aria room .He stopped at the entrance of the room as he took a deep sigh ,before making it way into her quarters."Come in ."He heard the sound of Aria voiced from the room although it was barely above a whisper .He sighs,before taking a slow step into her room. only to see her seated on the couch with her legs partly crossed together."Hey."he waves with a mixed Emotions as her eyes are now fixed on her ."I accepted the offer."She had said , taking Him by surprise.He jumped up ,his heart filled with joy .He couldn't beli
Aria woke up the next morning to the sound of birds chirping outside her window. She rubbed her eyes and sat up, feeling a wave of sadness wash over her as she remembered her sister's elopement. But she knew she had to be strong and try to adjust to her new role as the Lycan Queen.She got dressed and made her way to the dining hall, where Dax was already waiting for her. He greeted her with a warm smile and they sat down to have breakfast together. She couldn't help but feel a little awkward around him, knowing that she was only his substitute mate.As they ate, Dax explained to her the responsibilities that came with being the Lycan Queen. Aria listened carefully, feeling overwhelmed by the amount of work that needed to be done. She had always been an ordinary wolf in the pack, never having to worry about the politics and duties that came with being a leader.But as Dax spoke, Aria realized that she had a lot to learn and was determined to do her best. She asked him questions, took
Back inside the comfort of her room. Aria carefully brought out what she had hidden underneath her dress. She held it in her hands and placed it delicately on her bed.She wondered if Dax knew that she had sneakily taken the Ancient Historical Journal from his study the moment he wasn’t paying attention to her. She made a mental note to return the journal as soon as she finishes reading it, before he would notices that it was taken away from his study. The ancient journal contains so much information that she thinks will help her to understand her duties to the king and to their pack, but what she didn’t know was that the journal was a sacred property of the royals and is not to be held by anyone except the King and the Head Counselor. If anyone should see the journal with her, then she would be in a lot of trouble.She absentmindedly started flipping the pages of the medium sized old-looking journal aggressively. She was trying to absorb as much information as she could within a sho
“You have no right to interfere in political matters.” The Counselor spoke in his loud and clear voice. His eyes were filled with hatred.Aria had presented herself at the royal council of the elders. The Counselor and eighteen elders were seated in the huge room. Two columns were set apart by a luxurious alligator skin carpet. Six elders sat on each of the three rows that ascended upward. Their chairs were almost as large as the king’s throne. And the Counselor sat at the middle on the far end of the carpet which is on the highest platform in the room. “Why didn’t anybody mention this to me when King Dax was around?” She cleverly asked. “You are an ordinary lycan that’s still learning the basics of life… what good do you think you can ever be to King Dax or the pack?” One of the elders mocked. “Can’t you see that he married you as a substitute and nothing more. So why do you carry yourself with such a high demeanor?” Another elder scolded. “If I were you… I would have hu
Night was soon approaching and their chasers didn’t seem to be slowing down. Dax and Marcus had been attacked by packs of rogue lycans. These breeds of lycans are among the most feared breeds in the paranormal world. They don’t take slaves or prisoners, their aim is only to destroy any being — lycans or werewolves who they perceive as a threat to them. Sometimes these rogue lycans are more like merchants. They receive pay from whoever needs their services to assassinate someone.Dax instinct told him that the rogues were being paid to kill him. Even at this moment of his life—that is in grave danger, he still didn’t regret leaving his kingdom or lying to his substitute mate.The rogues had organised an ambush long before his convoy left his kingdom. They had had their eyes on him even when he hadn’t left his territory. He is known to be the fiercest Lycan in the entire Northern district. This district contains the most powerful packs that are bonded by ancestral blood. Four Lycan
He made a grave mistake by throwing his axe in his enemy's direction. Though the axe cut deep into the rogue's chest, he pulled it out and started to heal almost immediately.Dax was expecting the rogue to fight him with his axe, but to his greatest surprise, the rogue threw the axe aside and chuckled. “How shallow of you to think that a silver-coated axe will kill me, Dax.” He scolded, sounding disappointed.There was something familiar about the rogue that made Dax curious. “Who are you?” He asked the rogue without losing concentration on the fact that the man was still his grave enemy. “I’m a merchant and my task was to kill you,” his enemy replied. “You speak of your task in the past tense,” he stated the obvious. “I don’t pay evil with evil. Once a friend, always a friend.” The rogue facial expression softened and became hopeful like he was clinging to a memory. “It… it… can’t… be,” Dax stammered, he was unsure of the revelation that had overshadowed his thoug
