Dangerous Lycan: Claim Betrayed Luna’s Second Chance Mate

I dived for the drawers searching for one of the hairpins. As I hurried towards the door, the reflection of the moon caught my eyes and a sharp pain banged in my head. I didn’t know exactly what would go on outside but I knew I needed to be strong and above all, focused. I wasn’t in for any of the headaches. Before I went for the door, I took a shot of the pills. The one I would have taken for the night.

Handling the door had become a lot more easier since Kieran had become fond of locking me in. As I dashed through the hallway, my heart pounded as I got closer to the exit. Questions ran through my mind. I knew that it wasn’t the brightest idea to disobey Kieran. But if anyone would die that night then it would be me and not him. He didn’t deserve any of the things that I had brought to his door step. And so I was going to stop Ryan once and for all. But in doing that, I needed a plan. I had none.

There was something off, the palace seemed awfully quiet. I didn’t know if it was the blood moon or the fact that Ryan was present. Even the guards were not at the exit door by the time I got there. The blood moon was supposed to give the werewolves their upmost strength especially the Alphas but in the palace, it was like everyone was scared. I should be too. I had no idea where Kieran was and I didn’t bother to look for him.

The red light rested on my face as I got outside. The beauty that we had all been waiting for. The red moon like two-sided like the flames, it created warmth and cooked out meals but it could also consume who dared to mess around. There wasn’t anything different to what the blood moon could do. If put to good use, it could be used to win battles and elevate powers. But then, lives are lost on such nights and a tyrant leader can wipe out an entire kingdom if the powers of the blood moon was channelled right.

I didn’t know what the night was going to be. I couldn’t take my eyes away from the moon. It was like it was calling to me. I could hear its whispers around me. It called out to me like there was something I should do for it. As I took another step into the night, a loud screech resounded in my hear that I winched covering my ears but it was like the sound came from within. My heart pounded and I groaned.

Just then, some men grabbed me from behind. I didn’t quite understand what was hoping on as the sound didn’t stop. It’s sound echoed at a frequency that my ears couldn’t hold, they bled out so did my nose. It was like this sound drained me. I couldn’t fight back. If this moon could give strength why didn’t it give me mine? After all I was the chosen one but ironically the weakest. These men took me freely. My legs had lost their purpose as they wobbled, too weary to carry my body. As the sound finally stopped, my head spanned. Whatever it was, just made the headache a lot worse. There was no healing from this.

We stopped at a spot. My eyes were shut so I didn’t know where we were but I knew that we weren’t far from the palace. I heard their voices, muffled rumbles of manly voices. And then I heard the clings. I didn’t exactly know what it was as my visions were still blurry but I could feel the cold and hardness of the metals. They were chains. They spread my arms and chained them. I stood arms apart chained to the walls.

Gradually, my sight returned but I didn’t see Ryan nor Kieran anywhere. My legs still couldn’t hold my body and so I rested on my arms. I shut my eyes for a while and when I opened them, I saw Ryan standing right in front of me.

“Hello Clara, I told you that I would have you didn’t I? Stubborn little Clara,” he flicked my hair from my face, “we could have done this the easy way. You would just lie on the bed resting by now or be anywhere other than here but no, you let that Alpha decide for you. Now you see, there is no other option than to do this the hard way.”

He shook his head and smacked his lips, “it pains me to see you this way but you know that I have no choice.”

He leaned forward and took the hair away from my hair. Then he wiped off blood with a piece of clothing. He whispered in my ear, “we could have had mad fun. Enjoy our last days together.”

“You are sick Ryan, you should get help,” I managed to say. My voice a little above a whisper.

“I guess he doesn’t make you feel half the way I made you feel.”

“He is much more better than you would ever be.”

He chuckled, “I guess he promised you love and affection,” he stressed the words, “you don’t deserve any because you are a whore. You are to be used. You are to be drained. That’s what I’m going to do to you.”

I spat on him, “go to hell.”

He wiped his face with the piece of rag and smiled.

“I would meet you there,” he laughed loud.

He held a book. I couldn’t tell which it was but it had many brown pages. It looked like one of the ancient books that the elders at the werewolf council usually read out from. I couldn’t tell but I knew that the book would lead to my end. He began saying words from the book in a strange language. He repeated the words and began to move around me. At first, I was just there. Nothing changed. But he didn’t stop. He kept saying it much louder. My heart began to pound. I heard the sound again as I screamed. My body shook like I would go into a seizure. It was like something was being dragged out of me.

My body boiled and as I opened my eyes again, I saw in a much stranger way. Ryan had stopped turning now, he just faced me. A great deal of strength dwelled on me as he kept saying those words. I felt the moon and heard its words. It wanted me to take from them.

“Hold her!” Ryan instructed his guards as they rushed towards me and pinned me down. This new surge shook my entire body and all I wanted was to take that book from him. My eyes began to feel a lot hotter than it already did and I could feel the drag of my skin as my claws came out.

“We can’t hold anymore,” the men complained.

“Hold a little more. I’m almost done.”

I looked at the guards and I felt entitled to their powers as soon as they showed me their wolves side, I knew I could take it all. That was what the voice in my head wanted. The men began to scream they tried to pull away but the power within just didn’t let go.

“Make this sacrifice and you would be rewarded eternally,” Ryan said as he saw his men fall to the ground.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
