CHAPTER 72: MATE WAR
5 days later ….
Max’s POV
“Where do you think are you sneaking off to at midnight, mate ?”, Tyra demanded as she crossed her arms in front of her chest after dashing in front of me with raised eyebrows.
I visibly gulped when I noticed that she was blocking the last exit of the palace to escape into the woods.
It took everything in me to not trip the back of her left leg’s calf with mine and jump over her to run towards Bella’s portal where the Seer’s spirit, or as Bella told me Ryan’s dead mother taught us both, all kinds of trickery, warfare strategies and Dark Arts lessons.
Ofcourse no one knew about our secret rendezvous, nor were they aware of the Lycan pup growing inside my human body and that is how we had decided to keep things till the war started.
“You haven’t seen the true power of that evil scumbag yet, kids”, the Seer’s spirit had vehemently said on the first night.
I swear I was on the verge of passing out on seeing the pale, milk white ghost of the revered lady and would certainly have, if it were not for Bella who slapped me seven times- on each cheek ! Nghh !!
“So I will teach you how to counter attack each of his nefarious moves. He will certainly not go easy on any of you, nor shall he get out of his comfort zone and keep as many warriors with him as possible. He will not hesitate to retreat if he feels like he is losing and come back with a stronger army. So you need to keep your mind cool and collected in the game while making sure that you do not let go of this ‘do or die’ situation”, the noble spirit had warned us.
“But how will we learn everything so fast, especially a beginner like me ?”, I had somehow managed to squeak out somehow making the Seer’s spirit smile at me.
“I promise that I will turn you into a Lycan Warrior within 6 days and do you know what is the speciality of your budding Lycan, my dear boy ?”, she had softly asked before sashaying in front of me at the speed of light, making me almost tumble backwards in fright.
“N- No – no, Ma’am”, I had stammered while trembling like a leaf; not even trying to ask my Lycan directly with fear clouding my mind.
“Deception and trickery”, she answered. “You have the gift of hiding your Lycan and its presence from all creatures. Use it to your advantage, my boy. Not every war needs to be won on the basis of strength”, she had whispered in my ear in her angelic voice, sending shivers down my spine.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
She will surely be the death of me. Grrrrr. I had thought at that time.
“But how ?”, Bella had asked the important question.
“That is what I am going to teach the two of you for the next 6 nights. The war will take place on the 7th day. So I will have two warriors absolutely ready for the Great War by then”, she had promised and proceeded to instruct me to sneak off every night at 12 am sharp to get through the portal.
“I asked a question, Max”, Tyra impatiently said while tapping her foot in a not so patient rhythm, bringing back my attention to the present moment.
“Oh sorry ! I uh- I uh …. “, I tried to form coherent, meaningful words but I was too tongue tied to stop acting like a dumb dummy. The guilt of lying to my mate was eating me up !
So I did the first stupid thing that came in my mind.
Run ? No !!
What am I ? A pathetic idiot ?
“Yes”, my Lycan answered.
“Shut up, Charlie Craplin”, I snapped through the mindlink before pointing towards the ceiling in a sharp, quick gesture.
As anticipated, Tyra looked up and I took the opportunity to dive between her legs and made a run for the woods.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Figures, I am pathetic afterall, but I wasn’t going to admit that, especially to my willy Lycan.
And God, the hardest part in the whole ordeal tonight, was to not stay stuck beneath her skirt and between her legs to drink her off till the last drop completely when I dove under her to escape.
Honestly, it took a lot of convincing for my legs to not turn back and make love to my mate like a sex starved beast.
“I dare you to take one step more away from me and you will never see the light of the day”, Tyra’s angry Alpha voice came through the recently formed mate link.
This was not the time to stop, however.
I was almost there and I knew that I needed to train for just 2 more nights to become a full fledged warrior in record time !
The Seer’s quick learning spell did wonders for my Lycan and me, afterall.
I needed to do this.
Needed to do this for my mate too.
Sorry Tyra, but as a Lycan Warrior, my duty was to serve my motherland first and then indulge in personal matters which included listening to my mate.
So I made an Olympic winning dive into the burning purple portal and successfully made it to the other side without getting caught.
However, unfortunately for me, two more figures just dove into the circular, magical hole before it could close making Bella gasp behind me.
The larger, powerful, uninvited Lycan made a huge leap over my head and aimed for landing straight towards Bella.
However, the Lycan princess was quick to shift into her beautiful, white Lycan form with the tips of her fur sparkling in royal hues of Golden against the midnight cool wind and successfully pushed away the pure white, Beta Lycan away from her.
Not backing down from the strong counter attack, Kai managed to grip Bella’s Lycan in a strong hold before the two Lycans rolled over together, far away from us while attacking each other with their paws and legs.
Oh my goodness.
That was one hell of a mate war.
These immature Lycans.
Gawwddd.
“You Mister, are in a lot of trouble”, Tyra’s voice came from behind, shaking me out from my reverie and watching the fascinating Mate War.
“Uh oh”, I whimpered out. Talk about the ironies of life.
“Yes. Uh oh”, Tyra parroted with a smirk. “You are so dead now, babe”, she flashed a notorious grin before bursting into her wolf form and dragging me away from the place by my neck.
Guess Bella and I were going to train in the morning too tomorrow.
Bella’s POV
“Get off me, Kai !”, I growled through the mindlink while wrestling with the stubborn Beta Lycan.
“No !”, Kai growled back before flipping us over so that he was on top this time.
I was honestly prepared for any kind of attack and would have won the wrestling match in 99 parallel universes out of 100 but I was thrown off kilter when Kai did the unexpected !
Instead of attacking me fair and square, the incorrigible trickster was up to his dirty tricks again and simply slid his monster Lycan c*ck into my wet heat, disabling all my body parts from attacking him without hurting the both of us painfully in our sensitive regions.
“You dirty, dirty bastard”, I cursed the grinning Lycan through the mindlink, who couldn’t bring himself to wipe off that taunting, victorious smirk off his face.
The pleasure of being completely filled by the glorious Lycan minaret was not helping either as an unwanted, involuntary moan slipped through my Lycan lips when the naughty creature slightly moved against my eager, wet walls, making the Beta Lycan over me grin even wider.
“Someone seems to be enjoying this but is in denial”, Kai coyly commented.
“And someone seems to be taking his last breaths coz I am gonna kill you !!”, I angrily replied back but a traitorous whine again escaped my mouth when Kai moved his ass again at the opportune moment.
This rascal. Ughh.
He chuckled while looking down at me but soon enough his teasing laughs stopped through the mindlink, mocking eyes softened and gaze turned laser intense, making me frown as I looked back at him.
His eyes leisurely raked over my feral form’s body, drinking in the sight before him as much as he could, before he gently settled me between his paws, his c*ck not disconnecting from my sucking tunnel even once and licked my snout generously in a Lycan kiss.
“God, you are beautiful”, he finally breathed out after raising back his eyes to meet mine.
A wave of desire washed over me and my breath hitched when I watched my mate looked at me with a fond gaze and tender, loving eyes.
“I missed you so much”, he huskily rasped as he picked up pace and thrust inside me with strong, powerful strokes, sending me towards the edge in no time.
I felt myself getting further pushed towards the euphoric abyss of pleasure and his nuzzling snout in the arch of my neck, made me bask in the tantalizing sparks while my moans got louder by the minute.
“Tell me, baby. Tell me did you miss me ? Did you not feel my pain when you left me through the mate bond ? Didn’t you trust me enough that we could get over any obstacle or bump together ? Hmm ?”, he fired question after question in his velvety, gentle voice as opposed to the chaotic mess of erotic need he was creating in me deep below.
His husky, soul stirring voice was making me feel out of my element. Hence, I found myself slipping more and more into a submissive, all forgiving role as my Lycan could not stop mewling under him, his pace increasing to a highly orgasmic rate.
“Answer me, baby girl”, he urged as his thrusts suddenly turned agonizingly slower and deeper, making me arch my back in protest. “I swear I will not let you cum till you answer me”, he cooed as if he had not blackmailed me with the worst torture known to man.
However, I was too dazed out due to his smoked out, sexy voice and the static between our needy bodies that I could only feel my eyes rolling at the back of my head and all internal communication centers effectively shutting down.
But Kai was having none of it and bit me on his sensitive mate mark by my neck before growling, “Answer me, Bella ! Why did you leave me ? You broke me when I felt everything I had worked for, was falling apart”, he confided and his vulnerability showed as his angry thrusts got faster and fuming Lycan eyes glared at me. “Why Bella, why ? Did I disgust you so much that you ran away ? Huh ?”, he lashed out.
My Lycan whimpered at that, not liking one bit that our mate was fuming with anger and getting rougher with us- even if it further stimulated all our pleasure inducing centers.
“ANSWER ME, DAMMIT !!”, he roared before heat filled my ass and he shot ribbon after ribbon of white seed in my non birthing hole.
It seemed like he was not joking when he said that he would deny me blissful release, seeing that he stayed still inside me, not even moving an inch to make me erupt to my own pleasure filled heaven.
Before Kai could blow off his top again, I finally broke my silence and answered, “I missed you too and feel ashamed of what I did”, I teared up. “I am sorry”, I whispered through the mindlink. “I thought I was giving us both space and time to cool off. Guess I made a stupid decision”, I laughed through my sorrow.
Kai shifted back to his human form and so did I before his c*ck started chubbing back inside me.
“Oh baby, I love you so much”, Kai groaned before cupping my wet cheek and crushing my lips with his, making me lose myself to the whirlwind kiss and the actions of his bucking hips.
“I love you more”, I panted out and that was the trigger that drove us to make love till dawn, locked in each other’s arms.
What happened to the other couple you ask ?
Apparently we had scarred Tyra and her “poor baby” that night.
Grrrrr.
That dramatic girl.
I was sure that she had been in a similar state as mine that night, judging by the biodiversity living in her hair when we finally went back to Dominic’s palace together.
